Alaska’s out-going commerce
touched bedrock last month when
the value of the commodities ship
ped -to the states dropped to $628,
805, it was revealed in the monthly
statement of commerce' issued by
John C- McBride, collector of cus
toms for the district. This is the
smallest month’s business recorded
in many years, probably one of the
i
lowest on record.
Every item on the list showed a
decline from a year ago, except
fresh and mild-cure salmon, both
of which sho'wed an increase. May,
1929 however, was abnormally high,
due to heavy copper ore move
ments, fur shipments and canned
salmon.
Last month’s copper shipments
were valued at $305,213, a drop of
$526,148 from May 1929. Canned
salmon fell from $439,930 to $19,
408.25. The total decrease for the
month from a year ago was $1,264,
346.

SAME AS SCOTLAND
The climate of southern coastal
Alaska is comparable with that of
Scotland and the Scandinavian
peninsula, in Europe, but is some
what warmer. That of inland Al
aska is not unlike the climate of
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Mani
toba, in Canada. The northerly
portion, bordering on the polar sea,
is the only one in which Arctic con
ditions prevail.

from 1919 to 1928 totaled $420,417,

TWO DILLIHMS
INSTEAD OF BUT ONE
—
We don’t know whether or not
we have it straight but when at
Dillingham, in the Bristol Bay
country, two weeks ago, we learned
that there were two Dillinghams
where there only should have been
one.
The first place where the b. fc>.
Starr dropped its hook in the fast
! flowing Nushagak, was called Dil
lingham and also Kanakanak;
after discharging some mail and
'freight Captain Anderson steamed
up for four miles further on around
a point and lo and behold, there
jwas another Dillingham, which like
|wise has a second name, Snag
Point Another gob of mail matter
and freight was unloaded there.
We talked to one oldtimer about
it and he said he personaly had
named about every point there and
had located with a store at the first
named Dillingham; later another
party came along, settled at the
second Dillingham, and both places
have postoffices. So there you are.
In any case it was rather nice to
arrive at these twin cities for again
the Starr was in the land of trees
again. For days, after leaving
Seward, the vessel steamed along a
coastline absolutely barren of trees;
low brush only for thousands of
miles.
THE BATTLE UNGA
To the right of Unga, from the
sea, is a high and large low moun
tain, rather flat on top, which is
replete with early day history of
that region. There, the Unga na
tives successfully gave battle to the
natives from the Popoff Island who
came across the short intervening
| stretch of water with the intention
;of capuring the town.
i
Dr. Cannon of Seldovia, one of
the most widely traveled of Alas
kans to the Westward area, is of
the opinion that the inhabitants
of Sanak are the most hospitable
of all Westward people.

and Mrs. J. R. Langseth of Doug

ago at Juneau. Mrs. Leise is a well
