Yoar Patronage Solicited Mildcuring Season According to the custom house man ifests in Seattle, 4,098 tierces of mild cured salmon arrived from Alaska during the period from May to August 20. Of this, 330 tierces arrived in May, 1,015 in June; 2,411 in July and 336 from Aug. 1 to Aug. 20. This gives some idea of the large Alaska mildcure pack which breaks all records of the North. As previously stated, the large profits made in mild cured last year attracted many ex perienced men iuto the industry this year. As a result much of the Alaska pack put up by individual operators and small companies has been poor. Many of the fish have beeii small in size. This, with the inexperience of the operators aud the lack of proper cold storage facilities has resulted in a product which is eilher spoiled or of such inferior grade that the fish are a | drug on the market aud many will lose money in disposing of their pack. It is estimated that probably one-balf of the Alaska pack is put up on speculation while the rest is contracted for. The i large portion of the pack was secured in June. During July the run of kings decreased to a marked degree and with the unfavorable market many of the mildcurers suspended operations dur ing July. Early in August reports were received from the North, statiug that a second ruu had set iu off Fores ter island, the scene of the most active operations this year. However, there were no buyers. Several of the larger companies were still operating iu Au gust, but only those which had con tracted for their pack early in the I season. The large companies aud others for tuuate enough to have experienced men in charge, aud were properly equipped, 1 produced as a whole an excellent grade of mildcnre, which was easily disposed of. In the beginning, 81.10 was being paid for kings on the west coast and 81 at Petersburg, but about July 20 the price was dropi cd to as low as 50 cents, as the buyers could not afford to pay more. The prevailing price for Alaska mild [Cured up to August 8, was 11 cents a pound for large red9; 7 cents for small reds and 4 cents for whites. August 8 the price dropped to 9 for large, 6 for email and 3 for whites. H. Liudenberger, of J. Linden berger, estimates his company's pack in Alas ka at uearly 3,000 tierces. The com pany was still operating last mouth. Six plants were operating. Of these i the one at Roe Point put up a good pack, while the one at Craig was not so large. The Toledo Fish Co., oiganized this past spring in Seattle, with Capt. S. P. I Kildall as manager, packed 70 tierces, aboard the launch Neptune. The com pany operated out of Port Armstrong, Southeastern Alar-ka ? Pacific Fisher man. Knik is excited over a gold strike in that region, recently made by Robert L. Hatch.

Oct. 15 1913^ The Population of Alaska * Tbo two fundamental factors of a thriving state or community are popu lation and native resources. Of the re* sources of Alaska the press of the country has been full. The growth and maintenance of her population are de pendent upon the free administration of her resources. A study of Alaska's population demonstrates bow vast are the opportunities of the territory. The bureau of the census has just issued a preliminary statement of the statistics gathered in 1910. In that year the total population was 64,356, of which 25,331 were Indians, and 2,331 Chinese, Japan ese and negroes. The white population was thuH only 36,094. Slightly more than 50 per cent of the white popula tion was native American. In 1880 the population of the territory was 33,426 and of this number the Indians were 32,997 or 98.7 per cent. In 1890 the total population was 32,052, but the I figure for the Indians during that year was given as only 25,354, thus showing a considerable increase in the number of whites. During the latter part of the following decade, owing to the | Klondike and Nome excitements, the i population of Alaska increaeed to 63,592 the gain being principally white, while ; since 1900, as already shown, the gain Las been only 704. Reports since the ? census of 1910 have indicated a decline in [ insulation, owing to the return of many whites to the United States proper. Fairbanks is the largest town, having a population of 3,541 in 1910, Nome being second with 2,600. Of the fourteen incorporated towns, seven had a population of 1,000 inhabitants or more. The somewhat transient nature of the inhabitants is indicated by the fact that in 1900 the number returned to Nome was 12,483, including persons on vessels in port. Skagway, the seo ond largest town in 1900, decreased in numbers from 3,117 to 872 duritig'the last decade. The returns sho$ that there is one inhabitant to 9.2 Square miles as compared wit h one to each 21.1 acres in the "States." ? Alining Science. A sad accident occurred recently near the mouth of the Koyuk'ik ? river, whereby Fred Martini, a well known operator, lost bin life. .Martiui was eu route to the outside to get married and wasgoiug down the Koyukuk river on the steamer Kelianoe, which had two barges in tow. In some manner he missed his footing and fell between the barges. One of the barges passed over *the unfortunate man aud it is believed he must have been stunued, as he failed to come to the surface. The body has uot been recovered, although a search has been kept up. Martiui had considerable dust on his person as well a.- exchange on outside banks, all * of which was lost to his parents who reside in Portland. .
