N I MORRISON in the summer, bet in winter two a month is about all the trade M im Dear Friends: — Having been in Alaska three months I will endeavor to give you some of my observations of this land of silence and mystery. Perhaps a few words about Alaska in general would ba of interest to some. Alaska is about ona-flfth the sise of the U. 8., with a while popula tion of about 20,000 and a native population of about 30.000. * It has many varieties of climate. Ito chief industries are mining for coal. gold, copper; fishing for sal* mon. halibut and many deep sea fish. Agriculture is receiving a great amount of attention, Wheat, corn and vegetables are raised in abund ance in the vicinity of Fairbanks The U. 8. bureau of agriculture has an experimental station at Fair* (tanks to further this work. Fox farms are very numerous. The government leases an island to any person wishing to start a farm. Reindeer farms are encouraged by the government and it bids fair to become one of the leading industries of Alaska. Much fur is secured by trapping. A man from northern Alaska has brought >30.000 worth of furs to Ketchikan for the Xmas trade. The furs are many different kinds. Some are fox. ermine, otter, mink. Hudson seal and beaver. It is a well known fact that Alaska has paid for itself many times since >7,200.000 was given to Russia for it m 1867. The government is putting a rail* road from the coast near Anchorage into the interior fer the reason of large coal mines to be worked and the product sent by rail to ocean thence all over the world. Ketchikan has much the same climate as the Willamette Valley I htsusc of the Japan current wash mg its shores. However, it has it listen on the amount of rainfall, which is usually 14 feet during the year. During storms here oilskin coats are no protection, the rain go* mg through the coat. We have heavy frosts but little snow. Skating is unusual, but it happens to be g>Mid just now. A skating party left the schoolhouse at 3:30 p m.. walked about lj miles to a lake; it was dark when we got there, but put on our skatee and had a fine time. We could not build a fire t>ecause the spruce trees around aliout the lake would not burn. We had a few flashlights id help along. Twilight, however, ud here lasts a long time. The reflected light is very beautiful on the hills and on the water. All the entire length of the inside passage which reaches from Seattle to Skagwav is dotted with rocky is* lands. The hills eome down to the water's edge, so boats must travel slowly and follow their charts care fully. Lights are all along each side of the passage, the same as along a lighted city street. This inside passage is open all winter for travel, but above Skagway rivers frees? over snd travel must be done by dog team over trails The sun comes up about 8 a. m. and sets about 2:30 D. m. We often burn electric lights all day at school. Ketchikan is the headquarters of the Alaskan lighthouse service, the U. S. forestry service and the first customs port. Alaska has a cable service from Seattle to Sitka and branches to other coast towns. In the interior telegraph lines are used while Nome has a wireless service. So you see that far away Alaska is in close touch with the doings of the world. We get all the latest news in the two daily papers that are published in Ketchikan. We do not care to read the newspapers from "the states" because by the time we get them the news is old. Many large boats to Alaska * wiU justify, tome towns have aa DR A. G.
