Than I traveled on the Tan ana river ta Fairbanks. Coming down, tho Tanana and returning from Fairbanks, I landed at St MlchaeL And from St Michael I went to Mosii Alaakaao Favor Fortlaad. Ton see this, gave ma a good ac quaintance with tho country and en abled me time to obtain the vlewa of tha merchants. Thev not onlv that they wanted Portland, to enter into trade relations with them but that they wanted Portland to establish a lino of steamers to Alaska, so, that they would be able ta- get- their goods on the re turn inp or tna vessel that earned the orders. - J. r This la the chief difficulty. Fort- land men have In selling their, goods 1 Alaska at present . The orders ar rive at Seattle, are passed on to Port land, where they are filled. Then the goods have to be packed and carried to Seattle, where they are put aboard the steamer. All this tskea time sad by ths time tha goods arrive at Seattle the boat has sailed and tha goods have to be stored until the next steamer sails., "Another phase In tha traffle that la advantageous tor Portland la tha con dition of trade la San Fraaclaoo. The Bay City la unable to handle her Alaska trade and we should go after it The sooner tho better. - . ' Ordera Few Bat rrge. "One feature about the Alaska trade that must be taken into, consideration Is that ths orders ars tew but they are large. The merchants make but three ordera In a year.- The first ona la made la the early spring. Ths second, which Is generally composed of articles over looked ta the first order, la about the, middle of summer. The lsst order of1 the year la tha largest and comes just In time to be shipped before naviga tion closes. This makes ths trade de sirable. Portland business msn should nave a line of steamers in operation be tween this harbor and the Alaskan ports aa aoon ae possible, and by all mesas not later 'than t the commencement of nest spring's trade." .

' i '"Crop ooBdltlona are lust about tne same this year as they were la ltol as to quantities, bat ths sues win average much smaller than they hid in that year. For the benefit of tite nnpnncipiea broker I will state that there will not be aa many prunes eufed tbia year aa there were la lOI; tbia oa account of the inability f the grfower to secure hela to d the work, the drying season lasts only 10 days ha tha curing must be done inside of that time, for what la not dried In that number of days will go to waste. - But with, the capacity ror drying now in tha country fully equipped, the growers would not turn out mere cured fruit this year than .may did In 10I with ths chances thsyonly one halt to we thirds equipment will out aowa me output. - i Trying to Secure Melp. Tor tha last 10 days prune growers -have been making desperats efforta to secure what help they want ta wont during the drying season, but up to the present time not one half men enough to run the dryers nave Dee a securea What doea thia meant It means that fully ona third to one half of the crop will go to waste. The unprincipled broker telle us that all ha can get of fered, for our prunes bow Is 1H cent This means 1 cents for los-tes. ttt cents for sts-iOs. and t csnta tor lOs-COs. isss a psr cent commission. The crop this year will not average better than sOa-tOa In the northwest, giving ths grower only 1 cents per pound, less par cent commission., in soma caaee this will not pay tor the dry ing wittTthe high prices that will, have to be caid for help. fuel, and for other expanses Under these isoudltlnna. (loesi the smart broker think that a bumper erop will be cared in the northwest T Not much I What ths prune-growlng' com munity of tho northwest should do Is to gat together and taut tne -matter over among themselves and agree not to sell for loss than IH cants base or I cents net This la tha price paid In 101 when the market conditions were not as good aa they are today. " Ia 1901 there waa quite A large surplus of old prunes car ried over from the year before. Tbia year the dried fruit market la bare of an kinds of fruit. Another condition la more favorable now than in' 1 101: Canned fruit la scarce and high, much mors so than it was in 1101. In 1104 we had no crop; la 101 we had about one half a crop, this year we have a full erop of prunes, but they will be smaller and there will not be ae many cured ae there ware tn 1101. - f Advtoe be "A word to the grower: "First: In harvesting the erop,, pick only the beat fruit, leave the small Im perfect fruit oa the ground: this is what yoa can afford to let go to waate rather than! tne oset rruix. 4 "Second i Demand IH csnta base, lesa commissions, and you will get It Vefl may not sell your, fruit before It Is cured, but you will eell It aoon after It la ready for market.
