A \igorous campaign to scour? for

j"o s. - 1 momentum to the cause of
s..?i, one of the day's spe.ckers.
.. li. IXxice. vice-president of the E.

aver t ie entire field of trade oper
with Alaska.

? he strongly advised that Port

"Portland should build a steamer
ioh could carry about 200 passen

"To take care of trade with Alaska
roper all that would be necessary

nearly all the river pilots in

"To show what our company ha

the Alaska trade for four years and

^?ork up satisfactory business for her.
The outlook for this season is very
-rood We have more than 4500 tons
>f fr. icht already in sight for in
ter r points on the Yukon and we
are preparing to put on another
steamer to assist the St. Helens."
Dodge's talk was received with
.Tea* enthusiasm as was that of
Prank W. S wanton. Vice-President of
the Columbia Milling Company, who
spoke of present trado conditions.
? wanton was a resident of Alaska
for eicht years, from 1S9S to 1906

physioaJ features of the country, men

"In 1SS0. the imports were $525,000 "

S-'w.M; 1910, imports. $20,000,000
exports. $12,500,000.
"There are fewer white men in
Vlaska today than there were ten
voars aco. and why? Simply because
Vlaska is conserved, but when It is
op*r.ed up as it is bound to be, T
