A NEW CLUB FORVIED
Toe co operation, financial or
otherwise of all residents should
be given the McCarthy Athletic
Club which has lately been or
ganized, jiot so much perhaps
for the physical development,
but for the moral etfect. One
will not have the time or the in
clination to sit around the
stove, building bridges and min
mg on the creeas, for spare
time will now be taken up with
good healthy exercises in the
A. B. Hall.
For recreation the pool halls
leave the best billiard and card
tables that money can buy.
Those who cannot help this
Athletic Club financially as
much as they would like to,
» m always help a good cause a
long bv boosting and the more
you boost the more publicity
the Club will g3t — tl is means
a larger membership, so boost
and boost and then boost some
more
We are indebted to Mr. Jno
W. Troy, Collector ef Customs
Port of Juneau, Alaska, for the
Annual Matement of the Calen
der Year Ended December HI.

•‘The commerce oftheTerrit
ory while suffering a dec'lln«
amounting to more than a mill
ion dollars in value shows a
much better condition of trade
than during last year when the
slump was over seventeen mill
ion from that of 1918,
The balance of trade in our
favor is about one and a hall
million dollars more than in 1919
With an equally favorable bal
ance of trade the exports last
vear showed a high percentage
of loss from the previous year
while a more stable condition is
noted in that the imports and
exports have been about the
same for the last two years.
Slowly but surely for several
years past during which time
some of the greatest develop
menrs have taken ph ce. thus
enhancing the imports, the
relative position of the imports
and exports has been gradu dly
changing. There has been a
gradual gain of exports over
imports.
The relative decrease in im
ports shows that we are prod
ucing more of the necessities of
life for use in the Territory and
in consequence becoming less
dependent upon the rest of the
worlu lor our needs.
This indicates a general im
provement in the industries,
which, if accompanied by a more
setileu market next year for
our products, should have a
a tendency toward inci easing
activities in the established
„i\tues aau miking further de
velopments attractive.
The loss in volume of
precious motals is due to the
continued low purchasing power
of gold and the resulting high
co.-st of production.
This has caused a consider
able suspenson of the placer op
erations in toe Yukon Valley
with a loss o over seventy
seven per cent inoo > it of that
regior from the » cvious year.”
