CONGRESSIONAL
RECORD COSTS
GREAT AMOUNT
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The cost of publishing
the congressional Record, the govern
ment publication recording daily every
thing that is said and done in con
gress, as well as some things outside,
“was $537,640 last year, practically the
same as for 1918, but about $300,000
less than the 1917 cost.
These figures were given recently
by Russell O. Beene, accountant at
the government printing office, in
answer to an inquiry of Representa
tive Magee of New York as to the pos
sible saving that would result from
the discontinuance of the Record. Mr.
Beene gave the cost for 1917 as $801,
790.88 and for 1918 as $537,640.
Cornelius Ford, the public printer,
was asked for an explanation of the
high figure in 1917, but confessed his
ignorance unless it happened that con
gress “did more talking” that year.
Mr. Ford said that in 1917 congress
was in session 250 days; in 1918, 370
day, and in 1919, 279 days.
The printed pages in the Record for
these years were 652,511,964 in 1917;
672,587 in 1918, and 455,130,450 in 1919.
The cost of paper has increased great
ly within the past three years, but the
use of a lighter and less expensive
quality has helped deduce the aggre
gate cost of the paper used. For 1919
the paper cost was $130,000, as com
pared with $162,000 in 1918 and $300.
000 in 1917.
MANY GERMAN FIRMS
PLACED ON BLACKLIST
CHRISTIANIA, Aug. 12 (by Asso
ciated Press).—A blacklist of German
firms who are alleged to have broken
contracts with Norwegian merchants
is being prepared by the Christiania
Chamber of Commerce and will be
published as a warning to Norwegians
to “be careful of closing deals in Ger
many.” The Christiania Chamber of
Commerce now has under considera
tion names of 70 German firms against
whom complaints have been made that
they broke contracts, principally be
cause of an unfavorable rate of ex
change.
It is understood German chambers
of commerce are co-operating with the
Norwegians to force the German firms
to fulfil their contracts.

MORE SUPPLIES
SHIPPED NORTH
TO KUSKOKWIM
SEATTLE, Aug. 12.— (Special to the
Daily Times).—Major General Hunter
Liggett, who has just returned from
an inspection tour in Alaska, says the
great needs of the territory are cap
ital and men to devbelop the great
natural resources. He was joined at
Cordova by Colonel W. P. Richardson,
who also visited Alaskan military
posts.
Because of the necessity of engine
t
repairs of a more or less extensive na
ture, the Washington state nautical
school directors decided to eliminate
the call scheduled at Alaska ports by
the school ship Vicksburg.
Continued, rush of excursionists to
southeastern Alaska points resulted in
the Alaska Steamship Company ex
tending the excursion season of the
steamship Jefferson to include the voy
age scheduled for August 27 instead
of culminating with the sailing of
August 15, as originally planned.
The steamship Northwestern of the
Alaska Steamship Company brought
21,000 cases of canned salmon from
Prince William sound. The steamer
Skagway also arrived with 1,800 tons
of copper ore from the same section.
The latest reports from the Alaskan
fishing grounds state that the salmon
run this year is rather poor. In Bering
sea the catch is better than last year
but still much below the maximum.
In central Alaska the average is low,
although certain local points report
good hauls. The southeast Alaska run
has not yet progressed far but the
present indications are that it will
be less than normal.
The canned salmon market has
picked up slightly in the past two
weeks and prices are firmer than in
early summer.
With shipments of mining machin
ery for the Kuskokwim Dredge Com
pany, the Flume Dredge Company and
the Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining
Company, all of which have properties
near McGrath, the auxiliary powered
schooner Ozmo of the Northern Com
mercial Company sailed from Seattle
bound for Bethel on the Kuskokwim
river via Unalaska.
In addition to the mining machin
ery, the Ozmo has shipments of gen
eral merchandise, coal and supplies,
her cargo aggregating 1,000 measure
ment tons.
The steamship Katherine D. will sail
from Seattle August 20 with a cargo of
1,000 tons of general merchandise and
supplies for Bethel, which will be
transferred to the Ozmo in Unalaska.
