i ALASKA’S PE I
CAPITA LEADS
ALL SECTIONS
Thirty-one million dollars repre
sents the balance of trade in favor of
Alaska, for the past year. The report
states that the volume of commerce
per capita is larger than in any other
section of the world. The total of
more than $31,000,000 is approximately
$1,000 for each white inhabitant of the
territory.
During the past year 24,273 people
were added to the population, while
23,902 left Alaska. This leaves a mar
* gin as opposed to the two preceding
* years, when 13,000 more people left
the country than came in. The report
explains the $14,500,000 shrinkage in
shipments to the United States as due
largely to the $7,951,000 decrease in
copper shipments and the $6,495,000
decrease in the value of the canned
salmon shipments. Copper production
in Alaska was curtailed during the
past year, due to the collapse of the
copper market. Salmon shipments fell
off as a result of the unusually light
run for the year.
Decline in gold production was laid
to the labor shortage and the high
cost of gold mining. Many of the low
grade placer mines had been compelled
to shut down on account of lack of
labor. That the herring industry
would in time rival the salmon indus
try was the prediction of Alaska cus
Jfcm officials, due to the rapid strides
herring production is making.
'* Total imports for 1919 amounted to
$38,957,259; total exports reached $70,
695.080. The value of the gold and sil
ver shipped to the United States dur
ing the year was $8,636,139; that of
the merchandise shipped to the United
States was $60,473,623. The complete
table of Alaska products shipped to the
United States during the past fifteen
years show's the biggest jump between
1915 and 1916. In 1915 the total was
$50,335,683; in 1916 it was $79,051,758.
The increase was continued during
1917, with a total of $90,054,962, but
fell off to $81,028,009 for 1918 and $65,
131,056 for 1919.

LOOK OUT FOR THE LIME CAN
Chlorinated lime, which has come
into almost general household use, is
practically harmless of itself, but
many cases have been reported of
persons who have been blinded by an
explosion which occurred while open
ing the can. The explosion shoots out
a shower of lime into the eyes of the
person opening the can. An official
warning printed on certain cans runs:
“Punch a small hple in the con
tainer before taking cm the top. This
will let any gas escape ,and no explo
sion will follow. The cause of the
explosion is a decomposition of the
chlorinated lime when exposed to
dampness or too great heat.”

For the past twenty years the North

ing to find out the fate of Hector Mc
Lean, who left Nova Scotia during the
Yukon gold rush and has been per
sistently inquired for by relatives ever
since. E. F. Grigwire of Wrangell has 1
at last solved the mystery. He states
that August 23, 1897, eight men, of
whom McLean was one, started up
Lynn canal for Skagway in a Colum
bia river fishing boat, and that during
a violent storm the vessel capsized
and McLean and four others were
drowned. The rest of the party were
picked .up by the steamship Islander
and taken to Skagway, where they
scattered to different camps in the
Interior.

All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
