Skins of fur-bearing land ani
mals to the number of 494,547 and
valued at $2,128,148, were exported
frpm Alaska in 1930, a report from
the Alaska Game Commission to
the Biological Survey, U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, shows.
1 This is $2,385,715 less than the val
ue of the 1929 shipments, although
197,245 more pelts were exported.
The smaller return for 1930 result
ed from a general decline in the i
1 market value of individual fuirs.!
The report is based on the state
ments that fur shippers are re
quired to file with agents of trans
portation companies or with post
masters handling the shipments,
who in turn must forward them to
the Alaska Game Commission.

| The Delegate is endeavoring to
i have the Geological Survey under-;
take the mapping of ‘Kodiak Island, !
in the belief that it would lead to
valuable ’mineral development. Di
rector Mendenhall states that this
is one of the projects that Philip
S. Smith, Chief Alaskan^ Geologist,
has urged and is one of several
projects now under consideration
for the next field season. But in
the absence of information as to j
funds and personnel available for •
I next season nothing definite can
| now be decided on, although it is 1
j gratifying to know that it is the j
\ intention of the Survey to map Ko- j
| diak Island as soon as conditions j
I will permit.

the rate was $3 per ton, and now
is $4.50. It is maintained that the
advanced tariff must necessarily
have a deterrent effect on the ship
ment of coal from the Matanuska
mines to Seward, Cordova and
Southeastern Alaska. Most of these
ports are now supplied with British
Columbia coal, to the extent of
about 60,000 tons per year. An
other complaint is because of the
inadequate facilities available at
Seward for the handling of large
quantities of coal, the need of bunk
ers causing a reduction in shipment
and consequent loss of revenue to
the Alaska Railroad.

WHEN WINTER COMES
3
IS YOUR house packed to the eaves with tremend
ous stores of flour . . . meat . . . clothing . . . and
other supplies to carry you through the long winter?
Not very likely!
But if not, won’t you—like the butterfly that
played all summer without a thought of the cold
days to come—won’t you be in danger of facing
famine, months before spring comes around again?
Certainly not!
When wintry winds are blowing their coldest,
and the storm is wailing like forgotten banshees on
the roof-top, the chances are you may be eating juicy
strawberries from Costa Rica and fresh asparagus
from Florida. For the day of storing up supplies
against the barrenness of winter has gone forever.
It has passed when America ceased to be a lot of}
scattered communities, and became a nation united
by swift line of transportation.
As you read the advertisements telling you just
what the stores contain for you, fresh to your order,
>
remember that here are the inexhautible store
rooms of today . . . storerooms that have banished!
forever the anxieties that went with the snows of
yesteryear.
