ALASKA'S FERTILITY.
SOMETHING BESIDES GOLD AND ICE
IN THAT TERRITORY.

Some New and Interesting Facts From
port-Lumber and Fisheries Form No
Small Part of AIaska's Great Wealth.
| Washington, Nov. 5.-Dr. w. H. Evans
and Benton KILN, commissioners ap-
| pointed to investigate the agricultural
| possibilities of Alaska, have submitted
| their reports to Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson. The reports agree that
while comparatively little agriculture
exists there, it is possible that enough
of certain crops and animals may be
grown to sustain a considerable popula-
ton, provided proper methods are pur-
sued.
While Director True of the division OF
experiment stations does not regard as
feasible the establishment of agricul-
| tural experiment stations there he be-
lieves that experiments may be carried
on in a number of lines with great sue
cess. The two commissioners spent
three months investigating the south
ern coast region of Alaska.
The reports say cultivated areas in
Alaska are confined to small kitchen
gardens, in which are grown many of
our earlier and harder vegetables.
Stock raising is carried on to a very
limited extent. The possible extension
of the pasturage and gardening area is
quite considerable. Estimates are made
of an expense of 5000 per acre in pre-
pairing the soil for cultivation. What
agriculture there will be in Alaska will
be subsidiary to fishing and other in
dustries, according to Mr.. Killins sepa-
rate report.
Home For Fishermen.
Fishermen will locate on Alaska
lands and make homes. At the present
rate, Mr.. KILN says, the salmon will
soon be destroyed. They are being fish
ed for in the spawning waters to such
an extent that they have no opportuni-
ty to propagate. Halibut. cod and her
ring will last forever. Timber will not
go into the market until the yellow fiji
or Douglas pine of the Pacific coast is
exhausted, as it is superior to the Alas
ka spruce and hemlock.
| Alaskans will not feel the want OF
agriculture, as freight from the coast
agricultural districts is by sail vessel
and very cheap. 1t now costs but &c
cents day to provide food for miners
at Turn Again Arm, the most remote
part of Cooks inlet. He says that the
agricultural department can do moth
ing in the way of experimental stations
in Alaska, but can furnish information
on the subject of the SOIL
Mr.. KILN says that from that country
will be drawn sailors for the NJ ,rchant
marine and navy. 1t can be one, he
thinks, by granting TO every American
