KOEPPEN'S The Drug Store That Serves You Best EXPERT SEES FUTURE FOR ALASKAN FARMING Important Statement by Govern ment Agent Just Returned. There are many thousands of miles of good tillage land In the valleys of the southern coast of Alaska, to Bay nothing of the great Interior, accord ing to Levi Cbubbuck, special agent for the department of agriculture, who baa Just returned from the northland. Mr. Chubbuck spent the entire sum mer making a general reconnolssance of agricultural lands that may be sur veyed for bomesteadlng by the general land office. The chief areas examined were the Susultna basin north of Sew ard, the Copper river and the Tanana valleys. Concerning agricultural prog ress and possibilities In Alaska he makes statements that may be consid ered most conservative, but that will be amazing to the great majority of those "outside." "The most obvious fact concerning nearly all the valleys of this area 1 have seen from tidewater northward 150 miles Is that they are natural grazing lands. There are certainly thousands of square miles of a very high quality of wild grass, the nutri tive value of which for stock seems well established. The grass often stands six and seven feet high and la of the most luxuriant growth; also it can be cored and Is of good keeping quality. A Great Dairying Country. "Nearly all of this land except some side hill areas has more or less stand ing and fallen timber on it but .much is Immediately available for grazing. With adequate winter protection stock thrives, and tbe market with tbe de velopment of roads would seem as sured. At present every pound of meat consumed must come from Seattle, uud meat Is of first importance in the diet ary of so cold a country as this. In many parts of tbe couutry also It costs the consumer $1 a pound. All dairy products, too, are brought Id by steam er at high cost, and this Is certainly a dairying couutry. "There need be no speculation as to some present possibilities. Farming bas just begun in a few localities In this region, and local conditions are most varied, but oats and barley are being successfully grown, timothy flourishes, and the root crop is of high excellence. Found Many Fins Farms. "1 have been astonished at the amount of farming under way around Seward. I bad expected practically none, and instead 1 Unci half a dozen flourishing ratio lies on a commercial ba sis and dozens of home gardens. Pota toes of lirst ijuulity are being grown in half a dozen neighborhoods, excellent turnips grow freely, and there seems no difficulty with beets, carrots, rad ishes, beans, pens and lettuce. Cab bage and cauliflower are a surprising success In some localities. 1 believe this list can be extended almost indefi nitely with careful selection of varie ties, a study ofsoll requirements and acclimatization by selective breeding. The possibilities are still practically unknown, but we do know that they are far greater than most people even here in Alaska Imagine. Some of the most promising parts of this area have not been tried at all, and the most successful tests bare generally been In the least likely locations. 'Regarding climatic conditions 1 have been somewhat surprised. With in a thousand feet of sea level In fairly open country the growing season Is not shorter than In the mountain reclon of New Hampshire. Pens are safely planted In May. nml danger from frost Is considered over after the first few days In June. In the fall the first frosts are rarely before the second week in September. It Is true that tbe summers are cooler than In the north ern states and on the Immediate coast have more raiu, but there Is compen sation in the fifteen to eighteen hours of sunshine dally and the continuous daylight for nearly three months. "The exact area of the tillage lands in the Sushltna group of valleys, as an example generally applicable, is still impossible even to estimate, as much of the territory Is uninhabited and still because of Its undeveloped state rath er thnn because It Is inaccessible. There is a total area of about 2.500 square miles along the western edge of Kenal peninsula bordering Cook In let, the greater part of which Is prob ably available and some small valleys In tho Interior of the peninsula. I roughly estimate the rest, which In cludes the Knik Arm reglui and Mn tanuska valley to tho eastward, the Yentna to the westward, the main Susliitnn valley and smaller tributaries running northward far Into the In terior at. say. 2.500 square miles, but It might rxceed this considerably."

"ALL STAR" GIRLS WILL PLAY BALL Not to be outdone by the boys, the girls of Pendleton are to organize an all-star basketball team which will try to wrest honors from the high school team. There are a number of young ladies In the city who, In the days when the high school was young shone resplendent as tossers of the Inflated pigskin, and they are not loath to assert that they can "come back" and prove that the latter day exponents of the great Indoor game are not in the same class as the he roines of yore. First practice has already been held and, encouraged by the showing made there, the all-stars are already doping out the score. They are not, however, In favor of playing with girls' rules, for, they declare such rules put too many restrictions on real ability and make of the game a very tame affair. Among the young ladles who are again donning their gym clothes and preparing for the fray are Gertrude Jordan, Nona Johnson, Edna Storle, Una Smith, Laura McKee and Jean Anderson. , MODEL SYSTEM OF PLAYGROUNDS PLANNED Portland is going to have a mod ern system of playgrounds and the services of an expert have been se cured from the Playground Associa tion of America. He will arrive in March and will look over the pres ent playgrounds and outline plans for future developments. While here he will deliver addresses on play ground work In other cities. Large orders have been placed for new apparatus that will be Installed In time for use during the coming summer. Portions of the city not al ready provided with recreation spots will be supplied so that the children of every part of Portland will have wholesome out of door amusement facilities. READING ROOMS FOR LOGGING CAMPS Logging camps of the Pacific northwest will be equipped with read ing and recreation rooms so that the lonely woodsmen will have some means of amusement and instruction, if the plans of the Portland Y. M. C. A. are carried out. The proposal has been made to the Columbia River Loggers' assocla tion that the various camps be sup plied with these conveniences for the men to while away their hours In the woods when not at work and it Is expected to establish such recreation rooms for a few of the largest camps and see how the plan works. If the new quarters are appreciated by the men, It Is likely practically all the camps In the Columbia river basin will be provided with similar accom modations. The expense of the experiment will be borne by the camp operators, who feel that much good can be ac complished in this way. By furnish ing the loggers with higher Ideals and some means of relieving the mo notony of life in the woods, they think they will secure more efficient as well as dependable workmen. GARBAGE DESTRUCTOR AND ELECTRICAL PLANTS Consul Albert Halstead of Birm ingham, learns that there are now 80 plants In the United Kingdom for the conversion of garbage of cities Into electric power and that they are Increasing at the rate of 20 a. year. An English mechanical engineer cal culates that there Is a long ton of refuse for every 1000 Inhabitants, equal to about 3000 pounds of steam per hour for nine hours per day, if destroyed in the properly designed destructor. A technical review of the subject has been compiled by Consul Halstead, and will be loaned by the bureau of manufactures to those interested.
