S. department of commerce, a sig-!

increase in the output of the pro- (

these ot the previous year:
"Merchandise and treasure to _the
value of $66,500,000 moved between
Alaska and the United States , . in I
1914, an increase of $4.00'>,000 over

last year according to the bureau ■
of foreign and domestic commerce, j
department of comerce, aggregated'
$22,^00,000, including approximate
1 $14,300,000 worth of manufac

stuffs, and $2,000,000 worth of!
gold, silver and miscellaneous nia
lerials, including foreign merchan

of e-:ual importance with China

gold i s the State of California,
which produces half the world's sal

as large, as our area east of the
Mississiupi river and an acreage
i'Or tillage several times that of
ihose sections of Norway, Sweden,
* nd Russia of similar latitude with
ll,0f").000 souls, may be expected
to attain an even greater degree of
industrial and commercial im
portance.
"Alaska's commercial relations
are chiefly with the United States.
Ship—.ents to the United States last
year were valued at $44,000,000.
Canned salmon, $18,000,000; Alas

$t»00,o30; and miscellaneous fish
and fish products, $1,250,000 were
.lie largest factors. Our purchase
of fish and fish products from Al
aska last year totaled $20,000,000,
or five times as much as Imports
if this class from Norway. Of sal
mon alone we bought from Alaska
2)0.000,000 pounds in 1914, or an
average of 2 pounds per capita.
"Trade with Alaska has doubled
ten years. Our shipments of
merchandise to Alaska increased
from $11,44S,423 in 1904 to $21,
010,SCO in 1914, while receipts of
merchandise from Alaska have
ifiowa from $10,647,592 to $25,

from Alaska fell in value from $9,
y30,520 in 1904 to $3,452,192 in
i:'14, while those of domestic gold
rose from $9,090,957 to $14,598,
237 ;n 1914, or double the sum of
$7,200,000 paid by tnis country to
Russia in 1867 for the territory in

"The value of imports into Alas
ka from foreign countries last year
was $662,994, of which $396,900
worth entered from Canada, $246,
■119 from Russia in Asia, and $19,

Domestic exports fiom Alaska to

* Comforting Words
Many an Alaskan Household Will
Find Them So.
To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed—to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous ur
inary disorders, is to make any
kidney sufferer grateful. The fol
lowing advice of one who has suf
fered will prove comforting words
to hundreds of Alaskan readers.
P. E. Sanderson, 819 First St.,
San Diego, Cal., says: "A severe at
tack of la grippe laid me up for
five weeks. My back got very pain
ful, lame and weak. My kidneys
were in bad shape. 1 felt all
run down. I read about Doan's Kid
ney Pills and got a box. They
fixed me up all right. Whenever I
have taken cold on my kidneeys
since, I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills. They have always brought
good results."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Sanderson had. Fostor
