Special Commissioners Reports Filled
With the Department.
FEW CROPS CAN BE RAISED
Berries Abouad. But Fishing Will rredsmia-
ate. Though the Salmon Will
Seen Be ExtiHct.

Washington. Nov. L-Dr. W. II. Evans
and Benton Riilen, the commissioners
appointed 10 investigate the agricultural
possibilities Of Alaska, have submitted
their reports TO the secretary Of agri-
culture, Wilson. The reports agree. tnat
while comparatively little agriculture ex-
lists there. r. rs possible that enough OF
certain. crops and animals may be grown
to sustain considerable population, pro
vided proper methods are pursued.
While Director True, OF the division Of
experiment stations, does not regard as
feasible the establishment OF agrlcuh
uraI 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 in Investigation on the southern
coast Of Alaska The report says the
cultivated acres in Alaska are confined
to small kitchen gardens in which are
grown many OF our cartier and harder
vegetables. Stock raising Is carried on
to a very limited extent. The possible
extension Of pasturage and gardening
are quite considerable.
What agriculture there viii be in Alas
ka viii be subsidiary to fishing and other
Industries, according to Mr. KIHen's
special report. Fishermen will locate on
Alaskan lands and make homes. At the
present rate, Mr.. Killen says. the salmon
win soon be destroyed. They are being
fshed for In the spawning waters 10
such an extent that they have no oppor
tunity to propagate, Halibut and her
ring will last forever
Mr. Killen says that from that country
will be drawn the sailors for the merch-
ant marine and navy. II can be done,
he thinks, by granting to every American
citizen who shah establish himself n
home for FIVE years on public lands, and
who shall engage in some occupation on
his own account for the same period. u
acre tracts of land with about $40 reef
Of water front. The latter will make It
possible for boats to be landed and nets
to be drawn. The timber Of 20 acres OF
land would build a boat a house, and
furnish fuel. AS fast as the timber is
taken off the land, small fruits ana
green vegetables can be grown and grass
Will be furnished fot domestic animals.
Grasses grow to great perfection. Little
was seen of the cultivtion of cereals and
small fruits. Berries abound there.
though practically no attention is paid to
their cultivation. AS to the country
from the southern boundary TO Kodiak
and Long Island and from the Pacific to
the Alaskan mountains, the climate Is
extremely wet. but not cold. The win
tiers are very long and the feeding pc
riod wAl be at least seven months Ce-
reals will not ripen and vegetables win
mot mature.

Dropping English Racing Customs.

Americans gradually are slipping away
from the British racing customs of
straight-away courses to the,general satis,
faction of the horse going public and
followers of the track. Until the Conev
Island and Jocky ClIb built its chute
and Morris Park ana Monmouth camo
into existence, straigbt-away courses were
unknown in this country The Concy
Island Chute and the New Monmouth
and Morris Park straightaway courses
were the result OF u strong agitation, car
riei on by men who had been brought up
in the English school OF racing, coupled
with an INCLINATION in some Americans 20
ape English methods Whatever merit
Englishmen may find In straightaway
courses nothing can DO more certain than
that they are unpopular here. Even the
horsemen are not enamored of them. The
average American kracegoer wants TO see
"a race from start to finish. He does not
find any pleasure in visiting a course where
the horses are started AZ a distance of SIX
furlongs from him. All that he can see of
such "A race is the finish. The actual con.
test in many cases has been decided even
before the horses come within range of
powerful glasses.
Here again the Westcnester Association
has taken the lead. Not race has peen

son and not more than one or two will be
run over il during the entire frrrting.
The association Is catering 20 the public.
1t is doing what IL can to discountenance
this faraway racing and its actions Is
worthy Of emulation. The Coney Island
Jockey Club has announced its Intentions
of following in the footsteps of ehe West
chester Association. Only stake races will
be run out of the chute at Shcepshead.
All other races will be around the turn,
where the spectators can view them from
start TO finish, and there is no reason To
do lt H.f g,
and they certainly Will be popular Some
horsemen contend that racing on an oval
shaped truck is more irving upon horse
than racing on straightaway course, but
the question Is an open one. At any
rate the wishes of the men who support
racing and not the wishes of the men
who live by II, ought to I've the first con-
sideration with racing associations.
The passing of the straightaway courses
Will not be regretted
