ALASKA COMMERCE
FOR YEAR OF 1926
REACHES HIGH MARK
‘ GAIN OVER 1925 IS $18,172,439;
1 RECORD BEEN EXCEEDED
3 BUT TWICE
Alaskan commerce in 1926 had a
• value of $113,595,685, according to
. the annual statement of commerce
: compiled from the U. S. customs re
‘ cords and made public in Juneau by
John C. McBride, collector of Cus
► toms. Only twice before in the his
tory of the Territory has this figure
been exceeded, in 1917 and 1918, un
der wartime conditions and prices.
The gain for the year over 1925
was $18,172,439. Outbound shipments
were valued last year at $81,434,651,
as compared to $62,223,737 for the pre
ceding 12 months. The value of in
coming shipments was $32,161,034,
leaving a balance of tarde in favor of
the Territory that amounted to $49,
, 273,617, an increase of $20,249,393
over 1925.
Gains were made by every indus
try except mining, which showed a
slight decline as a result of the de
crease in the market price of copper
ore. The fisheries industry’s produc
tion was worth $56,578,726, the larg
est in ten years. Gold and silver pro
duction increased $578,100 over 1925;
the lumber industry $108,985; the out
put of the marble quarries about $86,
000; canned salmon, $19,559,458; fish
meal and oil, more than $550,000;fresh
or frozen fish, $S90,000.
Decreases were experienced in the
production of all varieties of cured
fish, cod, herring and salmon. There
was a very small decrease in fur
shipments. Copper ore shipments de
clined in value $757,562, but the ton
nage of production was virtually un
changed. The loss in herring produc
tion was attributed to poor runs in
Southwest Alaska where most of the
herring fisheries are located.
Shipments of domestic gold and
silver during 1926 amounted to $6,

LONDON, Feb. 18. (£>)—Mayfair
photographers with fashionable trade
are taking many period pictures.
Women approach them hesitatingly
and explain that they want full fig
ure pictures but are unwilling to i
. i
wear ultra-modern gowns because
they realize how terribly out of date
they will look in a short time.
Many photographers have arrang
ed with costumers to supply their
patrons with old-fashioned gowns.
Since Sis Thomas Lawrence’s picture
“Pinkie” brought such a fabulous
price many younger women have
had themselves taken in girlish long
shirts and bonnets similar to those
worn by “Pinkie”. Many of the Gains
borough ladies, with their ornate pic
ture hats, also are being copied.

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory's possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
