they will have to starve another day

the brvkemao yields. He yields after
hesitation only, but bis intentions were
good when be aearcbed oat that particu

The Oregon Railroad & Navigation law
strictly forbids 'a move as this. Men
who ride are supposed to pay their fare,
and not to tbe brakeman. So period
ically tbe inevltabe spotter arrays him

Those who bave lived in Alaska for
many years say the wiuters are not more
rigoroas than the aamo season in some
of the thickly settled portions of British
Columb'a and Canada. There are many
districts where horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep are raised and bandied with large
preflt, as the summer range is practical
ly unlimited, and an abundance of win
ter feed can be raised during tbe sum
mer. Tbe soil produces large quantities
of vegetables, giaina end armtet, and as
an illustiation of the profit fn growing
vegetables in the St. Michael Land Dis
trict :
Register Franklin Moeesand Receiver
Albert K. Hcse, of tbat effice report the
case of one of their frierds who this year
raised several hundred bushels of turnips
fioni a small patch of land and old tbe
entire crop for twenty cents per pound.
there are large quantities of good tim
ber' garden and agricultural lard on tbe
right bank of the Yukon river and lr
many other of the favored valleyp. Gar
dening is carried on at aod near Holy
Cross Mission, near Skagway, and
number of other places convenient toft
good market. Many of those who went
lo Alaska expecting to mine have been
aurprlsed at tbe favorable conditions and
have turned their attention (o ftsricult-
uie, and are making more money in tbat
way than they could by digging gold,
brides acquiring title to land that is be
coming morV valuable each year. There
have been no township surveys nor any
standard lines or bases for township sur
veys so the land In tbe more isolated
districts is simply held by possession.
bnt tbe Homestead, Timber and Stone
Coal Land Lawsbave been extended to
Alaska, besides tbe opportunities for the
naeol Soldier's Additional Homestead
scrip, (wbicb by the way Is tbe only kind
that can now be used there, but this will
teas either surveyed or nnmrveyed
land.)
In addition to these laws tie Act of
March 3rd, 1891, which passed especially
for the purpose of assisting tbs promo
tion of bosinees and agricultural inter
ests there, enables tbs pioneer to obtain
title lo tbe lands without much difficul
ty. He can under ibis law, (and by nee
of Soldier's additional Homeatesd scrip)
have bis own survey made and title will
pass io him wltboutwalting for the reg
ular surveys to be run. Tbe next five
years will witness marvelous changes in
tbe development ol its nstural resources
aod large appropriations 'or the survey
of the settled portions of Alaska will fol
low as a necessary result, and those wbo
now settle will probably bave the laods
surveyed before they have earned the
patea's to lb em by five years continuous
residence, cultivation and Improvemen
ol tbeir settlement claims. The chief
care the early settler bas, shoold be to
s-e tbat he has carefully and distinctly
marked the bcar.daries ot bis claim, so
tni a late comer might not bave the op
portunity of .trespassing npoo the
rights be baa earned by bie prior settle
ment.
