EXHIBIT XT
The Seattle Chamber of Commerce
in their last commercial record have
an interesting and instructive article
relative to the Alaska exhibit at the
Northwest Land Products Exposition
recently held in Seattle. The Alaska
bureau of this commercial organiza
tion has done much for the develop
ment and commercial welfare of this
territory and were in charge of Alas
ka’s exhibit at the exposition.

I The Alaska exhibit at the North
west Land Products Exposition held
in Seattle from October 4th to 14th,
attracted a great deal of interest and
comment. The wonderful display of
grain from the Tanana and Yukon
valleys was later placed on display in
a Second avenue window of the Bon
Marche, where it was the center of at
traction for a crowd that blocked the
window for the entire week.
To C. H. Anway, of Haines, Alaska,
was awarded the first prize, a silver
cup donated by the Arctic club, for
the best individual display of agri
cultural products exhibited in the
Alaska section of the Northwest
Land Products Exposition. Mr'. An
way’s display consisted of three vari
eties of apples, “Duches of Olden
burg,” “Seedlings” and “Crabs.”
Strawberries of greater size than
any of our local berries. White clo
ver nine feet long. Oats; spring
•wheat and winter wheat; celery; three
varieties of rutabagas and cabbage.
To H. Vermeire, of Haines, Alaska,
was awarded the second prize donated
by the Western Dry Goods company.
His exhibit: consisted of beets, tur
nips, kohlrabi, carrots, cabbage, cel
ery and potatoes.
To Benjamin & Gillsinger, of Eagle
River, Alaska, was awarded the third
prize, donated by the F. S. Lang Stove
company. Their exhibit consisted of
turnips, potatoes, rutabagas, carrots,
parsnips and beets.
Other Alaska individual exhibitors
having most creditable displays were
W. Wills, of Skagway; F. F. Winches
ter and McCain Gardens, Anchorage.
Eakin & Whittager, Matanuska, and
Ed Adams, of Skagway.
School Work of Alaska Natives.
The exhibit of school work by the
Alaska natives attracted much atten
tion and praise. It consisted of pre
served fish, clams and berries from
Yakutat by the Yakutat school chil
dren. Preserved vegetables from
Klukwan and industrial work of the
native boys from Matlakahtla and
other districts embracing miniature
houses, picture frames, iron heaters
and tin work and a most creditable
display of needle work by the native
girls, consisting of doilies, pillow
cases, guest towels, table runners,
moccasins, etc.
Exhibits of Commercial Bodies.
From the Fairbanks Commercial
club came the greatest grain exhibit
ever sent out of Alaska, which proved
a revelation to those not familiar with
the agricultural possibilities of the
north. This exhibit consisted in great
part of grain grown at the Agricultu
ral Experiment stations at Fairbanks
and Rampart, and comprised some 8C
bundles of grain in the sheaf and
some six bushels of threshed grain.
The exhibit embraced winter rye,
Rampart Hybrid Beardless Barley,
Canadian ■ Finnish-Black and South
Dakota oats. Romanow Spring, Rus
sian Spring, Marquis Spring and
Kharkow winter wheat. Of particu
lar interest at this time is a news item
to the effect that the Tanana valley
i now boasts of a flour mill. Mr. Mag
nus Nelson, one of the progressive
j ranchers of the Tanana, recently re
J ceived his flour mill and is now pre.
| pared to make his own flour from
| wheat grown on his farm. This mill
: is but the beginning, marking the
i commencement of an epoch in the
history of agricultural interior Alas
j ka.
From the Ketchikan Commercial
club came an exhibit of ores from the
Elliott & King mine on Helm bay.
The Apex mine, McClean’s Arm. The
Cymru, Dean and It. Gold Standard,
Wakefield, Goodrow & Chilberg.
Heckman & Thompson, Copper Moun
tain, Ready Bullion, Poor Man, Nib
lock, Crackerjack, C. Reynolds
Wright, Tom Stevens and other mines
of the Ketchikan district.
The Cordova Chamber of Commerce
sent an exhibit consisting of coal
from the Bering field; copper ore
from the famous Kennecott, Mother
Lode, Tjosevig mines and from the
Chitina, Nizina, Taral, Elliott creek,
Spirit mountain, Fidalgo and other
districts. Gold quartz from the
Port Wells district and a mammoth
clam measuring eight inches in
length.
The Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce sent an exhibit of vegetables
from the Anchorage and Matanuska
regions. Coal from the Matanuska
field and ores from the Center Star
and Bluff mines in the Broad pass dis
trict and from the MabLe, Jessie B.,
and Alaska Free Gold mines in Wil
low creek district.
The Nome Chamber of Commerce
sent an exhibit of coal from the Cape
Lisbourne coal fields; gold quartz
from the Clan-Chattan lode and ex
hibits of uranium and antimony ores
from the Nome region, a display of
vegetables raised by Mr. Fred Sick
ler, government native school teacher
at Shungnak on the Kobuk river, 90
miles north of the Arctic circle, and
samples of tungsten ore from the
Rock creek mine of the Pioneer mill
ing company.
The U. S. bureau of forestry sent
from Ketchikan planks of Alaska ce
dar, yellow cedar and Alaska spruce,
the latter measuring 8x4 feet.
Bureau Will Display Exhibits.
These exhibits will be added to the
permanent exhibit of the Alaska bu
reau, Seattle Chamber of Commerce
and kept on display in its rooms. The
interest displayed by the Alaska peo
ple through their commercial organi
zations and newspapers in the North
west Land Products exposition as
sures a display for the show of next
year many times the size of the dis
play of this year.
SOMETHING NEW
IN THE LINE OF
FRAUDS, HE FINDS
SAN FRANCISCO. — Theodore
Rothschild got along nicely in the
show business and made a few thou
sand dollars. He wanted to -go into
the hat trimming business and fell in
with a crowd, who, he says, have
proved themselves expert trimmers.
Here are a few of the things which
he says they did to him:
Sold him “salted” silk spools, a
thin outer layer of silk being wound
around cotton spools.
Got $8,593 of his savings by selling
him separate half interests in two
worthless corporations.
Made him borrow money, ostensibly
for the business, but really for Their
personal use.
Sold him worthless machinery.
Organized dummy corporations,
concealed assets, contrived a fraudu
lent bankruptcy, made'fake transfers
of ownership and robbed creditors.
| DIRECTOR OF U. S.
MINT BLAMES GOLD
FOR HIGH PRICES
WASHINGTON, Tuesday. — The
! very prosperity which the greatest ex
port trade in the history of the
| country has brought the United
‘ States is directly responsible for the
| tremendous increase in the cost of liv
ing, according to Director of the Mint
von Engieken.
Explaining his statement, von En
gieken said an unprecedented quanti
ty of gold is pouring into the country
as payment for our exportations, the 1
volume of which gives rise to a vast
demand for goods which results in a
responsive rise in prices. The num •
her of men and women now employed
far exceeds that before the war, and
higher wages are being paid. The
workers are buying more goods than
before and consequently helping to
swell the abnormal demand for food
and goods with resultant price in
creases.
In the last two years $200,000,000
in gold over the usual importation ,
has come into the United States. The
demand on the mints of the country
for coins has kept them working over
time. Five times as many pennies
were coined this year up to October
as were needed last year for the
same period, four times as many
dimes and two and a half times as i
many nickels.
Financial experts have issued warn- j
1 ing to the public not to become so
accustomed to the present ability to
1 supply its demand for luxuries as to |
! make difficult readjustment to a nor
| mal state of financial and trade af
| fairs.
Since the first of 1916, this country
has received $32 1,500,000 of gold from
i other countries. The flood has over
i come the facilities of the government
assay office, where the yellow stuff is
being melted down into bricks, and it
! will be weeks before the melting and
' weighing needed by the gold already
on hand can be completed.

SWEDEN IS BOUND TO
GERMANY THROUGH NEED
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—Sweden is
in a very difficult position, according
to Mr. Wallenberg, who has just ar
rived here. He spoke very optimistic
ally of the prospect of improved trade
relations with Great Britain. In part
he said:
“It is impossible for us to break
with Germany because of our urgent
need of coal and other supplies with
which Germany is furnishing us,” said
the minister. “From the beginning of
the war Sweden was determined to
remain neutral artd she has not con
templated for an instant entry into
the terrible conflict.
“As to the economic position of
Sweden as a resultof the war, some
money has been made by individual in
dustries, but a great many have suf
fered. It would be a great advantage
to Sweden if the war came to an end.
There is not a person, whether making
or losing money, who would not be
glad to see the end of this conflict.”
