erlshsd BY long and continued cropping. SO as to
necessitate the using of special fertilizers in order
AeeP Up the fertility OF cur lands, and because
.Le Ifeiehts upon all our railroads Is so high as
70 very greatly preclude the farmers from OBJ
1sa,,ns pdasler, or Salt, which has come 10 be so
grain I'LL well: therefore
Resolved, mat It Is the sense OF this farmers
convention mat the railroads. OF this state ought
70 reoace the heights to one cent per ton per
mile upon car loads OF fertiiizing salt and upon
anu Pastsr or other fertilizers, for the first one
hundred miles run, and to one-fourth OF one cent
hundred run
In furtheranca Of this object we would recon-
memo the appointment of committee of three
persons % present the resolutions of this farm
thiS state ana We would still further aSk. that the
rauroaa commissioner be requested to cooperate
with the committee thus appointed. And also
tnat tfte governor be asked TO cooperate with
the committee so far as he can consistently with
his official duties
we would state that the rates in this state are
from Two cents 10 two and one-half cents per ton
per mile for the first one hundred miles rum
we would also state that the railroads in
Mchisan. after these fertilizers are loaded on the
cars at Bay City, or Saginaw, or Grand Rapids
maui the same to Chicago or Milwaukee, a
DISTANCE OF more than three hundred and
thirty miles Tor but title more than one-third of
a cent per ton per mile-almost seven times less
than our ralirc ad charge, and that, too, without
any anticlpatee returns from the use OF the fert,
ilZers as IN our own state They do 1t simply as
business transaction. Certainly our railroads
ought TO DO as we'll when their own interests are
so intimately associated
II the railroads should thus reduce their rates
we oeileVe II would be the means of causing the
use OF three times more than now used.

Life in Alaska.

Hail, smiling MORN" Such a one
we had during the past week While
bright sunlight prevailed, small
black cloud pass d over the northerly
end of the Indian village, and during
its transit shed copious shower OF
hail.

Indian housekeeper Ia the village who
shall have presented the cleanest house

powerful aijunlt to civilization.
The cabbsges IN Mrs Haltern's gar
den in Sitka were out in the open
ground when the new year came in,
and are as large and finely favored
as can be found anywhere. How is
that for this high latitude.
Sitka's annual Russian carnival is
at hand, and for a week to come its
promiscuous population will prone
made under mask and fantastic dress.
The ingredients of the procession will
consist of an admixture of Americans,
Bohemians. cunos, deadheads, eIfs,
FRANKS. Greeks, hoodlems, imps,
Johnnies, Klootcamen, Laplanders,
marines, mugwunps, pigtalls, Rus
slams and Siwasaes, ad infnitum. The

A scene peculiar to Alaska was an
incident of one OF the mornings of
last week. Three spacious canoes fill
ed with natives formed line of tugs
towing a raft of timber across the
harbor fronting the town. The canoe
next to th- raft had a motive power of
sixteen jI1ines, the next one in line
had twelve, and the leading one had
eight, besides an American ensign fly
from q staff erected in the bow While
the entire force were padding for
keeps their paddles kept stroke with a
loud chant, wild ard weird. which
seemed to be a compound of "Old
Hundred" John Browns Body
and "Whoop-'er-up. Eliza Jane" A
select portion of Sitka's population
witnessed the show, while the raft
was being moved along at the rate of
three miles an hour.
