Many Difficulties Must Be Overcome
by Person Brave Enough to Face
Climate of Far North.
SMALL FBUITS AND CHAINS
RAISED IN SOME PLACES
Where Climate Is Mild Tillable Land

Washington, Feb. 5. So far as to
pography, soil and climate determine
the matter, Alaska has probably 100,000
square miles of area on which there
are possibilities for farming and graz
ing. The larger portion of the farm
ing land is iu the interior, in the Yu
kon drainage, according to the Depart
ment of Agriculture's now bulletin en
titled "Possible Agricultural Develop
ment of Alaska."
Currants, raspberries, gooscborries,
strawberries, blueberries and cranber
ries are plentiful in Alaska, Varieties
of wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes
and many other vegetables have ma
tured every season since the Depart
ment started its work at its two most
nothern experiment stations. The De
partment has four stations; one is on
the Yukon within 75 miles of the Arc
tic circle, another Is also In the Interior,
While there is one in the southeastern
and another in the southwestern por
tion of the Territory.
It has been positively demonstrated
that forage crops may bo grown in the
southwestern and central portions as
woll as potatoes and other garden vege
tables. Chicken raising is also proving
feasible It has also been estimated
that a great number of farm products
are shipped in that might easily be
raised on the ground. ,
Many Difficulties.
The new bulletin of Alaska, while
citing so many optimistic facts, also
warns the homesteader that there are
many difficulties to bo encountered.
On the south coast, whore the cli
mate is mild, tillable land is scarce, be
cause of the proximity to the moun
tains to the shore line; elsewhere in
Alaska the winters aro long and vory
cold and frost proof buildings must bo
provided for shelter of family and
stock.
The ground froe7.es to a great depth
and there is but a short period during
which this can thaw, and the surface
is covored with an accumulation of uu
decayed moss and other vegetable ma
terial serving as a protection to the
frost and a reservoir for moisture. The
frost lino under nuturul conditions
inks but a few feet during a season,
and the thawed layer Is usually a mo
rass of muck in all portions of Alaska
where tillage is possible. This condi
tion makes luud travel almost out of
tlio question during the summer until
wagon roads shall have been built, and
thoso must bo largely of the corduroy
typo. Meantime the farm homo must
generally be locuted close to navignblo
water.
Mosqultos and Gnats.
Thn swampy diameter . of much of
the surface of Alaska makes it n great
breeding ground for mosipiitiics und
gnats, which are almost Intolerable
pests to both man ami beast, It also
makes drainage a prerequisite in order
to removo the surplus water so that the
land csu be worked, niiso the tempera
ture of the surface soil, lower the frost
lino, facilitate the decay of the Been
inn luted organic matter, and bring
about chemical changes which will
transform the soil from a very acid
condition to one much less so. Nature
requires much time for this last pro
cess. Where the vegetable accumulations
are largely moss, this must be destroyed
either by burning or by carting it from
(lie land, for if plowed under it decays
very slowly mid seems to have uu In
jurious effect on most crop plants.
The timber growth, which occurs on
practically nil the Innd suitable for
tillage, must, of course, be cleared from
the land,
All this work -building houses and
barns, draining, clearing land of muss
Mud timber is Very slowly accomplish
il in the short outdoor working season
if done single handed by the hoiuostond
tr, and costly, almost prohibitively so
If hired labor is used, because of the
high wages II n tl living expenses.
Transportation Lacking.
ljick of general transportation which
would open up the country, of local
wagon roads, schools, churches and
other features of present day life and
of tho markets iu which to sell farm
products mid from which to obtain home
(supplies anil farm equipment are deter
rent features at present, but they will
disappear In time.
Thn Federal homestead laws extend
to Alaska, excepting that, Instead of
100 acres, 320 may be filed upon. Very
little of the available land has been
surveyed, but lliat work, is now In pro
KTtsm. One) may locate on unsiirveyed
land, file a claim, and establish lines
try metes and boniids, but he ran not
txwura a title until a survey has been
mails by an authorized surveyor and
the survey approved, If the survey is
I made in advance of that made by the
Government, it is done at the expense
of the homesteaders, and that is heavy.
Facts About Alaska.
That Seattle, Wash., is nearer Maine
than it is to the extreme western point
of Alaska; that the mean annual tem
perature of Sitka is about the same as
that of Washington, D. C; that Alaska
has numerous deep, land-locked, ice
free harbors; that the coast line is
JB.OOO miles long, and that there are
6,000 miles of navigable rivers in our
northern territory. These facts, not
generally known, are brought out in
the Department of Agriculture's new
bulletin on Alaska. The extent of this
wonderful country with its scant popu
lation of 65,000, its mountains, its cli
mate and its soils are fully described
in tho new Government publication.

Houston, Texas, Fob. 5. Tho secret
is out. The public long ago began to
accept as a joke published reports that
hundreds were killed in Mexican battles
for the number invariably dwindled
down a scoro or so. But thero is a
reason.
The exaggeration of killed and
wounded in battle is directly due to
the Mexicans' laziness. Tho Mexican,
both federal and rebel be it known,
with few exceptions, carry the smallest
army rifle in the world a .22 calibre.
Some carry a 30-30, The Mexicans dis
like to' carry heavy guns or heavy am
munition and so light rifles are no bur
don. The Mexican loves to fight, but
when it comes to marching and carry
ing a gun, that is work, and he wants
to got out of as much of that as pos
sible. There Is no glory in carrying a
heavy gun.
This discovery was made by William
II. McOrath, representing the National
Red Cross Society. He found that
Mexicans who had fallon In battle suf
fered from vory small bullet wounds
and further Investigation revealed the
fact thBt thoy carried the lightost weap
ons possible. McOrath has just re
turned from a trip along the bordor
and throughout North Mexico whore ho
saw much fighting. During tho day
of tho heaviest fighting at Nuovo La
redo when the rebels tried to capture
tho town, 125 "fatally" wounded sol
diers who wero counted as doad, were
cared for by tho Red Cross corpB. Only
four of the Mexicans died as tho wounds
of tho majority wero slight. This is
about tho average percentage of deaths
of those cared for, assorts Meflrath,
which leads to 'the reports being sent
out that a great many aro killed, They
aro seen to fall and they aro carried
away on stretchers and the correspond
ents and oveu the genernls are honestly
deceived. So when one reads a head
line, "200 Die in Mexican llattle," it
may bo generally taken for granted
that there Is one cipher too many. This
has been the case In every Mexican
battle in the last several years. The
slaughter is not so terrible as under
stood. The greatest suffering, accord
ing to the Red Cross agent, is not on
the battlefield but iu the camps am)
in homes, where there is need of food,
fuel and clothes. " llecauso small cal
ibre guns are used,'1 McOrath snvs,
"the war may continue for a much
lunger period than expected; In fact
that is the reason why it already has
lasted so long."
