Alaska's Good Year
RECORDS of the customs district of which Seattle is the principal port show a substantial increase in the value of goods shipped to Alaska
this year. Cargoes sent to the northern territory up to November 1 were valued at $28,006,120, while for the corresponding period of 1934, the value was $24,688,972.
The salmon canning industry used a considerable part of the goods and equipment shipped from this district but by far the larger values were
in food, machinery and supplies for mines. Evidence accumulates that Alaska not only had a good year but that the outlook for business and
industry is highly encouraging.
