BUSINESS OF
TERRITORY ON
HEALTHY BASE
The report of the collector of cus
toms for the Alaska district for the
year 1918 has just been issued. It
gives in detail imports and exports
from the various ports, and while
showing a decrease in business com
pared with previous years, reveals a
healthy condition of business gener
ally. The collector says in part:
“In presenting this report attention
is called to the disturbed condition of
the whole country, due to the conflict
of nations, which retarded the for
ward stride of the territory of Alaska
during that period. This was to be
expected, as the winning of the war
demanded the direction of all forces,
in their various elements, to the great
est endeavor for that purpose.
“Being without munitions manufac
tures or shipbuilding, our man-power,
other than that inducted into the mili
tary service, was attracted by these
industries elsewhere, thus materially
reducing the production of precious
and other metals. Owing to the em
ployment of women and children and
a great number of natives, the fisher
ies did not suffer so much from this
cause, for by the utilization of every
means at hand with increased speed,
the industry was not only maintained,
I but the output augmented.
iuc icniiuiy is wnuiiy aepenaeni
upon water transportation for the car
rying of its trade, and on account of a
considerable portion of the usual ship
ping being diverted to other channels,
it became necessary to equalize pro
duction with marketing facilities.
“As the result of these and other
causes the commerce of the territory
decreased to the extent of fourteen
million dollars.
“With the return of normal condi
tions during the ensuing year it is pre
dicted that the development of Alaska
will be renewed with vigor, the ex
ploitation of natural resources pro
ceed more rapidly, and its business
be greatly enhanced.
“While this year there has been a
gain in fish products of over five mil
lion dollars, and in furs of about two
millions, there has been a loss in
copper of nine millions and gold of
3ix millions, making a net loss of
eight- million dollars in value.
“The insistent demand for food
stimulated the fishing industry. The
most notable gain is in the pickled
class, consisting largely of salt her
ring. An increase will also be ob
served in ‘all other salmon,’ which
covers the dried, smoked, mild-cured
and salted product.
“Several causes have operated to
, ward the curtailment of the output of
metals, principally shortage of labor,
high prices of supplies and materials
and lack of transportation. Many
Placer mines of the Yukon basin and
Seward peninsula closed down rather
than operate at small margin of profit
or probable loss. Most of the copper
mines were in operation, but not up
to capacity, on account of the labor
situation. The same condition ex
tended to the gold lode mines.”
The report shows a grand total of
imports and exports for the year of
$127,049,132, compared- with $141,125 -
462 in 1917.
