Washington. Nov 12 (Special
correspondence)—The debate in the
House of Representatives which ter
minated in the passage of Senate
Joint Resolution 114. appropriating
Il.000.0e0 for American participa
tion in the centennial exposition in
Brazil in 1922, brought out some in
teresting facts.
The exposition celebrates the
hundredth anniversary of Brazil's
declaration of independence, of Por
tugal. Today there are about 1.500
Americans in Brazil, compared with
a mere handful ten years ago. We
have two great banking institutions
down yiere. one representing 20
American banks. Brazil participat
ed in the St. Louis exposition and
erected a tine building there, which
was later carried to Rio de Janeiro,
reconstructed and named the Mon
roe Palace. Brazil has eight times
participated in American exposi
tions.
Brazil produces what we do not
produce, and we produce what she
does not: we have a splend d ex
change of products with her. and
she has given us a 20r. advantage
in her tariff duties. Our export
trade to Brazil in 1911 was $29.
AOO.OOO. and in 1921 It was $129.
uoo.000. the principal Items being
*ron and steel, wheat and wheat
Hour, automobiles and parts, miner
al oil. cotton and leather manufac
tures and electrica' goods.
Brazil has a population of 25.000.
000 and is b.gger than the 1'nited
States, exclusive of Alaska. The
expos'ion opens September. 1922,
and runs through November and is
for the purpose of promoting thru
proper exhibits from the foreign
countries of the world, the farming
interests, the cattle industry, fish
eries. mining and mechanical indus
tries. transportation, communica
tion. science, fine arts, forestal and
manufacturing industries. As an ad
vertising proposition it must result
in the purchase of many millions of
dollars worth of American goods by
Brazilians.
A dollar a month will bring the
Alaskan to your door.
YESTERDAY—has passed into history
TOMORROW—is always in the future.
TODAY—is the best time for you to start
that account with us that you have intend
ed to start for so long.
Intentions without Action fail in results.

I may say that the call is not of the

is. rather, the spoken word of a war
wearied world which is struggling
for restoration, a world hungering
and thirsting for better relation
ships for humanity, a world crying
for relief and craving assurances of
a lasting peace. I can speak offi
cially only for the United States.
Our one hundred million people
frankly want less armament, and
none of war, they are wholly free
from guile and we are sure in our
minds that we faaroor no unworthy
designs. We accredit the world
with the same good Intent. So I
welcome you, not alone in good will
and high purpose, but with high
faith."
The address of the President was
well received and highly applauded
by all present.

Vl'TOMATH' ITKSK SK1NKR CO.
A new company lias been formed
n Alaska which is of more than or
dinary interest to the fishing indus
ry of Alaska an dtlie West Coast,
['his company is now in position to
jeglu the manufacture and sale of
lie Automatic Curve Seine, invent
ed and pateuted by Mr. Tom ltun
ling. the president of the company.
Mr. Running, in i.n interview with
i representative ot the Daily Alas
tan. stated that lilt company is now
n shape to begin the manufacture
>f the machine which he has invent
ed. A number of Skagway pejpie
lave taken stock In the company
md Mr. Running will leave the city
in the first boat for Seuttle, to be
;in the manufacture of the ma
chines and give them tliei.- official
ryouts.
The company is preparing to start
:hings in ample time for the men
ivno will take advantage of the ma
chine for their boats in the spring.
Mr. Running asserts that two men
:an easily manipulate the machine
with one-half the labor they would
have to give to the old hand purse
seine. This machine is simply the
adaptation of machine power in
stead of hand power in fishing. What
has followed in other lines of work
when machines have been substitut
ed for hand labor, will be duplicat
ed in this new macnine, From three
to seven men will be saved on each
seine boat. In this way the cost
of the machine wl.l be saved dur
ing the first fishing season.
A number of local people aro in
terested in the company and have
bought stock. Most «f the stock is
sold and the company is ready to
start work.
Four thousand boats on the Pa
cific coast are engaged in purse sein
ing and two thousand of them are
awaiting with interest the try out
of the machine. The power for run
ning the seine will be secured from
the boat engine, thru an auxiliary
shaft which can be placed in any
boat, merely requiring a set of cog
wheels to throw the machine Ln and
out and to reverse It for letting out
the net.
The officers of the Automatic
Purse Seiner Co. are: Mr. Tom Run
ning, president; Dan llousel, vice
president; Henry Roden, secretary
aud treasurer.
