OUTGOIING COMMERCE FOR THE
FIRST 11 MONTHS IN 1926
VALUED AT $76,328,415
With an aggregate value of $76,
328,415, shipment from Alaska to the
States during the first 11 months of
1926 increased oover 1925 by $19,
264,382, according to figures made
public at Juneau by Collector of Cus
toms J. C. McBride. Only twice in
the history of the Territory has this
figure been exceeded, 1917 and 1918,
both wartime years.
In volume of business last year
probably exceeded both these years
as prices of an commodities repre
sented in the list were considerably
in excess of those prevailing last
year.
FISHERIES AND GOLD JUMP
Pronounced increh.se in the value
of products of the fisheries indus
tries, mainly canned salmon, was the
main factor in the increase for 1926.
The value or fisheries products ship
ped from January to December 1,
1926, was $55,765,854, or $18,574,000
more than in 1925. Canned salmon
alone jumped from $28,501,516 to $48,
024,051, an increase of $19,522,535.
The total value of all fisheries pro
ducts came within about $2,000,000
of equalling all shipments of Alaskan
products for the first 11 months of
1925.
GOLD MAKES GAIN
Gold and silver shipments for the
period January to November inclu
sive had a declared value of $5,779,
478 as compared to $4,681,231 for the
same period in 1925. This, however,
does not cover all of the gold shipp
ed during that time. None of the by
mail shipments are included as this
ciass of exports are not reported
until after the close of the year. Be
tween $1,500,000 and $2,000,000 will
be added to this commodity, it is ex
pected, when final figures are made
up by the Customs service.
COPPER ABOUT NORMAL
Shipments of copper ore were vir
tually normal for the period. The val
ue of this commodity shipped for the
first 11 months of the year was $10,
030,095 as compared to $10,680,933,
a loss of $650,828.
Herring showed a marked decline,
due it is believed to late runs in
western areas. The herring exports
for the period covered were valued at
$1,460,012, as against $3,194,407,
showing a loss of $1,734,395.

LOOKING
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
] the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
i faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
i 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 realised.
i
i
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.”
