The people ' of the . PaciBc
Coast are much interested in
the well being of our new poss
essions in the Pacific Ocean from
a financial view point. ' To make
clear the interests we have in
the new , lands the following
figures 1 are taken from1 -the
Monthly Summary of Commerce
and finance compiled- by the
Bureau of Statistics, Department
of Commerce and labor ior
April 1904. ; i
From it is gathered that dur
ing the 10 months ending with
April 1904 these were shipped
Irom the United States to Alaska
domestio merchandise to the
value of . $7,000,871, of ' this
$267,803 was for bread, $160,881

animals, $120,177 for 409,248
dozen of eggs and provisions
comprising oared and canned
meats and early products $798,-
495 worth.
The most discouraging thing
to Oregonians about the Alaskan
trade is that while Washington
sold to Alaska for the ten
months ending with April 1904
$4,690,073 worth of stuff, and
California for the same period
sold Alaska $2,262,664 worth,
Oregon only sold to our northern
neighbor $48,134 worth of
things. ;
7 During the same period there
were shipped from Alaska to the
United States gold in base
bullion valued at $5,432,151 and
refined bullion worth ; $482,940
and $14,123 in gold coin making
the total shipment of gold from
Alaska to the United States foot
up $5,909,214. During the
same ten month the shipment of
gold from Alaska 10 foreign
