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."

A few minutes delay In treating
some cases of croup, even the length
of time It takes to so for a doctor
often proves dangerous. The safest
way Is to keep Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy In the house, and at the first
Indication of croup give the child a
dose. Pleasant to take and always
cures. Sold by all dealers.
Santa Claus upon his recent visit

of It years ago.

"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

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

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

destroyed in the properly designed

subject has been compiled by Consul
Halstead, and will be loaned by the
bureau of manufactures to those interested.
