used m Washington to secure alloca-1
tion of two steamers from the U. S. j
Shipping Board for establishing a!
service between San Francisco und
Alaska ports J. C. Ogden, repre
senting the Alaska Siberian Naviga
tion Company, said the only way he
saw out of the difficulty was for
Alaska merchants to get together,!
Bend in their orders at the same ]
time and assure cargoes north-'
bound in this manner to operators
from San Francisco.
Development of Alaska's latent
resources by California capital as
the proper way of bringing about
closer commercial relations with the:
Territory was suggested by R. E. i
Robertson. “You are headquarters j
tor the paper trade of the Pacific1
Coast, while we have the raw ma- j
terial for the manufacture of enough (
paper to supply the Pacific coast I
market,” said Mr. Robertson. He;
said that the development of the,
pmlp and paper Industry in Alaska byj
California capital would insure south-]
bound cargo to California shipping
ind open up a wide field of trade ]
lo California merchants.

In closing the conference, Mr.
Calender said the meeting had been
i very satisfactory one. “We have
enjoyed our viBit in your city very
much and have obtained much In

he added. The directors, he said,
would receive a full report on the

SILVER OUTPUT

—
BUTTE, Mont., July 31.—Discon.;
tinuance of governmental purchases
of silver under the Pittman act has
resulted in the closing of some!
mines in western Montana and the!
reduction of working forces in j
others. The drop in price from ap-|J
iroximately $1 an ounce to around
ixty-five cents, occasioned by the
eversion from the government’s
ixed price to that prevailing in the
ipen market, has not seriously af
octed ninny mines in the Butte dis
trict proper where silver is generally;
