ALASKA TRADE
The importance of the Alaska
business to Seattle is emphasized in :
tti» commercial reports for the
mouth o' April, which show an ox
port isiuess from Seattle amount
i»a to S3,S^,115, a 50 p>£*r cent la
creise over the record of the same
month a year ago. Exports for;
April, lyl5, totaled $2,453,161.
Moii itan $1,000,000 worth, of the
experts consisted of materials and
machinery for the salmon canneries.
For tht government railway J22,
I'Oo worth of flat caxs were sent
north. During the month 125,000
dozen e^gs and 113,000 pounds of
butt, r were shipped from Seattle to
the teiritory.
Statile had average sailings of
two ships a day to Alaska during
1 'Jt month, and the sailings this
mc-. th v ill exceea tha: average. Pas*
sengtr traffic has also increased
greatly. Every Alaska boat leaving
!. t- i! iring the last six weeks has
curried a capacity load of passen
grs. While many of these were
' i. :ntn and Alaska, citizens who
iit the winter on the outside,
then?" has been a substantial move
ment of travelers who are making
thin first trip and who. intend to
ni lie tli'.ir permanent hemes iu the
north. , .j yj
Thj present year is to make a
new r cord for Seattle-Alaska trade.
A Kr<r-it period of development is
now but fairly commencing, and
each recurring season should maTk
a great advance in the bulk of
business transacted.—P. I.
ALASKA'S KIEL NEED
Ceutral Alaska is just uow look
ing to .vard the construction of the
new government railway with an
-> that is fully justified, be
cause :t means an abundant suppl
er cheap fuel, whic'i is Alaska's
:":r.-t •r.i most insistent teed. The
apt r \! coal has been exceedingly
expensive, too expensive for mine
worki The various communities
ii i\^ nibbled at the local wood sup
ply until the forest have receded
many miles, and it has become in
i-r --singly difficult to provide necei
sitie v.ih present conveniences.
Just now a wood famine is feared
for next winter. Lack of snow the
L'c-miiig fall would make wood inac
and induce a fuel faOine,
according to the view of the Fair
banns Times. In the old days it
was possible to make a quick trip
to the forests and procure ample
fuel. Now the woods are a day's
journey away for a team, and with
uu» ample snow the journey is dif
ficult. _ . J [ j j I
The Nenana coal fit-Ids, 100 miles
from Fairbanks, ghould supply coal
at not more than $5 per ton, once
the railroad is built. Wood sells
for approximately $15 per cord.
The government, recognizing the
emergency, is now locating con
struction crews and graders at Ne
n tna tzi the purpose) of pushing the
railroad work both north, and south
of tha* point.
To Fairbanks and other Central
Alaska points cheap fuel will have a
vitalizing effect. Not only wfll a
very preat household expense be
saved, but the production of gbld
will be greatly increased and immi
gration to the territory -will be
encouraged,
METHOD OF VOTING
MestTs, Clemenger, Foreman and
Liddicoat, the enumerators appoint
ed to count the wet and dry votes
on June 1st, of this year will bo
instructed by E. A. Rasmuson, our
commissioner, that they shall prc^
vide themselves with books, alpha
betically indexed and therein will
insert, the name, residence and oc
cupation of every white male* and fe
malo citizen and resident over the
age of 21, , resiiding in Skagway or
within a radius of two miles of the
corporate llm;ts.
The word "Whi'e" means white
as distinguish - d from Indians; the
uame~ of all persona of African de
seeut or who are otherwise qualified
shojid be takpn down.
Resident means those persons
who claim Skagway as their resi
dence. A person may be a resident
of Ska^ay, although he has been
here ouly one day—the test is
whetaer he considers it his resi
dence, as his home, or whether he
is merely a sojourner, claiming or
intending to claim some other place
as his home.
A married woman, even though
under the age of 21, is considered
in law to be of legal age. The en
umeratcr9 are instructed to take
the names of all married women.
A married woman takes the na
tionality of her Lusbhnd.
Having taken tha enumeration of
the qualified vote's the commission
er will then name a place to hold
the election, after due notice the
elcctkn will be held. Those whose
names appear on the book are qual
ified to vot^, however a person may
swear at the polls that he is quali
fied and Cast his ballot. Such bal
lot is scaled in an envelorpe and not
opened unless Dy oraer or us cuui t
These who wish, liquor to be
sold in Skagway irom JulyTR>t to
July is'. 1917 in Skagway will writ*
wet cu their ballot and those op
posed will write dry on their
ballot.
When the voting is finished the
count will be held. After the court
is iluis'i-ed the commissioner will
forward to rhe clerk of the court
i he census books and all envelope
votes.
The law requires that the per
son desiring the license shall show
to the eo-tisfaction of the court that
a majority of the quailed persons
(not voters) have in good faith
lonseuted. Liquor d©al6re must
show the oourt that it is their re
quest md without this showing the
court is powerless to grant licenses.

ribly burnod about the legs, received
the French war cross the other day.
When the war broke oet Marcel was
a stripling, slender as a girt, with
beardless face, eyes large and black
andMiands as white as a v.-oman's. At
Verdun the other day he gladly faced
almost certain death. He emerged
with a body like a sieve, a leg broken
above the knee and a hand that was a
shapeless mass. His gallantry won him
the coveted decoration. - •
A few hours before tlic French evac

dun the commandant of n battalion
picked the youngster for a daring mis
sion. The - French planned to steal
away from the 111!I silently during the
night. Marcel was lo stay behind, con
ceal himself and take social note of
the emplacement of enemy artillery
when the Germaus arrived. Then,
wheu night came, he was to Are off a
colored light so the Frcuch could get
the range of the Gertnaa battery and
destroy It.
Marcel h!d in a hollow tree. Through
a knothole he wa' hod the arrival of
the Hermans pad the placing of the
artillery. At nightfall he crept out,
set off a yellow light with his cigarette
lighter and dodged back into his tree.
Now he hoard loud oaths all about
him as Germans searched the woods
for the man who set off the light.
Then he heard a crackling. They had
set the woods on fii'e to burn him out,
as one does a tablit. »
