tiiiy Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, OCT. 22, 1915.
An exchange says that the present
year has marked the high water mark
in the trade relations between the Pa
ciric coast and Alaska and never be
fore has the volume of trade mounted
to such an extensive ligure as has been
chalked up during the present year.
Not only has there been a most de- I
cided increase iu the exports from the j
teiritory but the merchandise ship
ments from the ports of the coast have
ulso rose far above those of prior
years. Ail this shows with certainty
that Alaska is gradually forging ahead
toward that ultimate development
which will in time make the territory
the most productive section of the
United States. There is hardly uu
area in the known world that contains
the potentialities of this great section
of the national domain. The volume
and variety of resource are absolutely
without a parallel. Not only is there
a most wonderful mineral wealth of
almost every known character scatter
ed with stupendous prodigality over all
sections but there is also a great va
riety of other products of inestima
ble value. The fisheries alone are val
ued in the millions and in addition
there are a half dozen other products,
aside from minerals, which represent
an immense value, as wealth producing
sources. On every side is to be found
in boundless profusion everything that
, oes to make prosperity and wealth.
The territory is lacking in nothing
that contributes to greatness nor is
there a single inhlbitive condition to
prevent the development of all of the
industries of other lands. Possessing
such boundless stores of latent wealth,
the territory cannot fail to become one
of the greatest and most prosperous of
the earth. Development is slow at
present and the ultimate of produc
tion will not be attained for many de
cades but that the country is going
ahead is plainly indicated by the
steady growth of the trade relations
with other place.s

Those who hold the belief that the '
, war is nearing an end will find little
! to confirm their view in the announce
ment that the allied nations are mak- j
ing provisions for continuing the1
struggle two years hence. Ammuni
|tiou orders of stupendous size aro be
jing placed for delivery in 1»17; factor
ies for the manufacture of war im
Jplements are being constructed; food
products are being contracted for and
every preparation is being made to
carry on the war to the end that is
considered yet remote. All this indi
cates plainly the decision to fight to a
decisive conclusion—until one side or
i the other is hopelessly beaten, and
unable to continue. In short ths
struggle has only reached the point
where it is clearly seen that one or
the other must be returned a com
plete and overwhelming victor, or the
eiforts of the past year will have been
completely thrown away. In view of
mis outstanding determination we are
orouglit face to face with the fact that
ine struggle has become little less than
a war of extermination and that it will
ue fought on and on until one side can
.,o longer offer defense.
Humble as Ihis may seem there can
oe no other logical end. Some one
must be completely beaten and subju
gated us any other conclusion means
nothing less than that the struggle
will be ugain resumed us soon as the
contenders have reached a state of
preparation. The nations recognize
this and recognize also that there can
oe no half way measures, no dalliance
or postponement. Things must le
sOlve themselves into their final ele
ments in older that a lasting peace
shall be secured and tins result cun be
aclnei ed only through the complete
I subjugation of one or the other of the
contenders.

A LIMIT TO WAR.
(New Vork Times.)
Before tile wur the combined funded
*
jdebt of tile live great countries, Great
j Britain, France, Kussia, Germany and
I A143tro-(.Hungary, was a little more
,'t 1,2uu,000,000. Their combined
Jwar loans since the beginning of hos
tilities have been mole than $0,500,
uUO.OOO. Thus, tile debt of the live
combatants (Italy being omitted be
cause the effect upon her tiuances of
iicr participation in the war cannot
yet be determined) has Increased near
,j no per cent ip nine months. Besides
tnese $0,500,000,000 of war loans, bank
mans and paper money circulation in
the live countries have increased ap
proximately $5,000,000,00, which is to
say, they have more than doubled.
in the twenty years of war from
the French revolution to the fall of
.Napoleon the aggregate funded debt of
the principal countries of Europe in
creased somewhat more than 200 per ^
cent. If was $2,415,000,000 in 1793 and
*7,360,000,000 at the high point of the j
great funding operations carried
.nrough between 1015 and 1020. The
.nerease was at the rate of about 10
per cent a year. The increase of the
combatants’ debt in the last nine
months, to finance modern war, has
a 60 per cenL
Obviously, at that rate of borrow
mg, ten years or even live years of
war is financially impossible, if the
world could afford to lend the money
required to finance it Europe could
not afford to borrow it. Already, in
less than one year, it is a question
now much more she can afford to bor
row. Before the end of the second
year it would be a question of how
much more it were safe to lend her. 1
it is never safe to lend more than the 1
debtor can reasonably pay. That is 1
no less true of states than persons.

NOTES
FAiRBAN KB.—Alex Bimpsun, tile
clothier, and two others have been
lined a dollar and costs each for the
ruthless uestructlon of flsh at Birch
lake. The men were accused of
slaughtering the hsh so that they
might take photographs of them.
BE\VaRD.—Felix Brown will come '
in the latter part of this week with
one and a half tuns of ore from the
Gilpatrick group of claims in the
Aloose 1’ass. 1’he ore will be taken
out to the states on one of the next
boat, to be smelted.
Two Indians were drowned two miles
above the Kuskalana bridge. The
bodies were recovered. The names of
tile natives are Uailapher and Ale
lardy. and both of them are well known
to the miners and prospectors in the
copper country.
The new ordinance passed by the
Valdez city council provides that the
buy for a distance of a thousand feet
beyond navigable water, be included
in tlic city limits and the Valdez Min
er suggests that there is nothing now
to prevent the council from taking hi
Hie whole Pacitlc to the coast of Asia.
The big pile of wood which the l'u
Kon Gold Company had on No. 45
Bonanza was burned July 23. The
Dawson News says the pile aggregat
ed 3.50U cords and was worth fully
f45.0U0. A high wind was blowing when
the tire started and a small hose play
ed on it from one of the pumping
houses was ineffectual.
Army orders issued relieved Capt.
Glenn E. Edgerton, corps of engineers,
front duty as member of the board ol'
road commissioners for Alaska, on
Friday, Bept. 14, and assigned him |
to duty at Texas City. First Eieu
tenant Joseph C. Alehaffey, engineers,
succeeds him on tile commission.
CHITNA. Anchorage is to lie the
chief distributing point for all mail
matter des.ined for ,.he surrounding
eoun'iy and for the idHarod region.
Tills is the statement of Postuttiee in
spector Neil, who reached, here this
week, remained a couplr of days and
departed for Susitna on official busl
nescs.
The merchants of Fairbanks have |
raised $5,000 for the construction of a j
road ter the Tolovana district. The
money has been turned over to the
Alaska road commission as it is real
ized there by the business men that the
commission is better able to do the
work than the merchants themselves.
The work of the commission in the
Interior has secured the commenda
tion and support of the miners and
prospectors benefited.
SEWARD.—The right of way along
the Alaska Northern track near the
city is being cleared for a hundred
feet, fifty feet on each side, for the
purpose of letting the sun strike the
grade and get rid of the snow more
quickly in spring. Henry Richards
started in today as foreman with a
gang of men making the clearing. It
is thought possible that by the time
the ties are cut so much frost will
have come that ballasting and other
work on the grade will have to be
postponed until spring but there is
"quite a lot” of work to do elsewhere,
no doubt. ,
Weak and exhausted and almost
famished for want of food and fresh
water the crew of the twelve ton
schooner Favorite of Cordova beached
their boat between Point Bentwick and
Hlnchinbrook, after drifting at sea In
a storm for nearly three weeks, says
the Chitina Leader.
