* NEWFOUNDLAND
TRADE SHIFTING
TO NEW FIELDS
ST. JOHN’S, N. Y., June 23 (by As
sociated Press).—The steady shifting
of Newfoundland imports from Great
Britain to Canada and the United
Ctates is shown in foreign trade fig
ures just made public here. Imports
from Great Britain in 1909 were valued
Jft $2,493,670 and in 1919 at $2,399,853.
In the same period imports from Can
ada increased from $3,937,009 to $12,
777,684 and from the United States
Trom $4,332,680 to $16,569,236.
The climate of Newfoundland is so
severe that all of its food supplies, ex
cept fish, a few farm products and
a small quantity of meat, have to be
imported. Practically all clothing, fur
niture and household goods also come
Lorn abroad. Until about 20 years ago
these imports were divided almost
equally between Great Britain. Canada
and the United States, but since then
the tendency each year has been to
buy less from the mother country and
more from the nearer neighbors.
As the value of articles imported
has doubled since the beginning of the
war, the falling off in bulk of imports
from Great Britain is much greater
than indicated in the figures of value.
Although the difficulties of transport
across the Atlantic, especially during
the war, have had much to do with
tjjis, it is very largely attributed to
the activities of American and Cana
dian commercial travelers.
Business interests here have been
informed that British traders are try
ing to set up machinery to re-establish
trade with various portions of the em
pire which was disrupted by the war
and are expected to give first atten
tion to Newfoundland. Dealers in this
city are sending buyers to the British
Isles this summer and say that they
are prepared to fill their requirements
tg;ere to the greatest extent possible,
if they can be assured of delivery.
LATE ALASKA NEWS
An official report received at Fair
banks recently states that the break
up on the upper Kuskokwim river,
and the high water which accompan
ied the breakup, caused considerable
damage at McGrath and other points
in that section of Alaska.
Seward citizens recently organized
the Susitna Oil Company, backed by
local capital and Texas financiers, the
company expects to have a drill oper
ating on the ground within two
months. Analysis of the oil found is
reported to have been entirely satis
factory.
There is an acute shortage of
workers throughout the Northern
division of the Alaskan Engineering
commission. Men are needed all
along the line to the south of Ne
nana, old camps are running short
handed on the Fairbanks line, and
new camps are difficult of establish
ment.
L. H. Carvey and Fred Hotchkiss,
VYh% recently left for the Nazina!
placers, will mine on a large scale
this season. Three extra teams were
used fo hauling their outfit. Mr. Car
vey is confining his work to the creek
beds before resuming work on the
benches. The mines are owned by
the Andrus Company, of New York.
The two big gold diggers of the
Fairbanks Gold Mining Company lo-1
cated on Fairbanks creek have started
operations for the season. The man-j
agement is looking forward to a high
ly prosperous season. General Man
ager C. A. Aarons, who spent the win
ter in England, was to arrive in Fair
banks on the first boat from White
horse.
The case of the Booth Fisheries
CvSnpany against the G. W. Humel
Company, involving two fish traps, set
for hearing before Judge Jennnigs at
Ketchikan, came to a sudden halt just
prior to the time for trial when it de
veloped that the trap of the plaintiff
company had been washed out a few
days before. The case was then put
over until the next term of court.

ALIENS SHOULD
BE PROHIBITED
H. M. Smith, commissioner of fish
eries, says that for about eight years
legislation affecting the fisheries of
Alaska has been pending in congress.
Protracted hearings have been held,
and a large amount of testimony and
data has been presented to the ap
propriate committees of the two
houses. He says that the necessity
for a revision of the existing salmon
law has been especially pointed out
by the various agencies and persons
interested in the welfare of the fish
eries of Alaska, and congressional
committees have made favorable re
ports on bills embodying new legis
lation. '
“No new fishery laws have, how
ever, been enacted,” says the com
missioner, “and the fisheries of Alas
ka, at the most critical period of
their history, remain subject to the
laws which have been shown to be <
obsolete and inadequate. The bureau
of fisheries is thus placed to a
great disadvantage in administering
the salmon fisheries of Alaska, and
cannot be justly held accountable for
conditions, practices, and develop- i
ments which, are not necessarily com
patible with the perpetuation of the
supply and in some respects are
directly oppose^ thereto.
“The law of June 14, 1906, prohibit
ing aliens from engaging in the fish
eries of Alaska, should be amended *
so as to give full force to its bene
fic.ient purpose. The high prices re
cently commanded by salmon have
attracted an unusually large number
of persons to the fisheries of Alaska,
including many aliens. Instances <
have come to light where persons who
renounced their declaration of inten
tion to become citizens in order to
escape the selective draft, and have
not yet changed their civic status,
are claiming or exercising the privi- <
ege of operating independently in the
fisheries of Alaska, a right that should
be restricted to bona fide citizens.
