The discovery is made that the
Alaska soil and climate are peculiarly
adapted to hop-raising, and the predic-
tion is sent out that it will soon become
the greatest hop-producing country in
the world. A Portland syndicate has
purchased large tract near Fort
Wrangle, and will plant it with hops.
The sun shines with almost tropical
heat during the short summer, and
hence the crop is sure of maturity.
Land can be had for the asking, labor is
cheap and the soil needs little prepara-
tion. The hops can be gathered for
twenty-five cents basket, or about
half the rate paid pickers in Oregon

FATAL BLAZE IN RUSSIA,

A Crowded Tenement House in st. Peters.
burg Burned-Nine Bodies Found-Fif-
teen Missing.
ST. PETERSBURG, April GA fatal
fire occurred here Wednesday. A blaze
was discovered in a three-story tene-
ment occupied by large number of
people. The flames spread with great
rapidity and when the occupants of
the upper floors reached the staircase
they found it a roaring mass of flames
All hope of escape was cut off in this
direction and the panic-stricken people
rushed back to their apartments and
many of them jumped from the win
dows. Some of them were very seri-
ously injured.
The building was gutted, and when a
search was made of the ruins it was
found that nine of the occupants had
been burned to death. Their bodies were
almost unrecognizab Fifteen others
are missing, and it is thought that
they are bruied beneath the
debris. The scene about the destroyed
building Is most pathetic. The rela-
tives OF those missing stand helplessly
about crying and wringing their hands
and refuse all consolation. The search
for the remaining bodies is progressing
as rapidly as possible.
