ranged by Mr.. Clarence Bennett, the
leading man of the company. James

great Characterization of Dantes, but

There will be a tremendous rush for

Decision Regarding the AgricuI-

(By James Wilson, Secretary Of Agriculture.)
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 13.-The
future Of Alaska as regards expert
ment stations is now in the hands of
the appropriation committee Of con-
gress, and what they will do 1 cannot
we'll forecast. L think, however, that
some provision will be made by which
scientific knowledge Of the capacities
of that territory will be exploited.
Congress has had our report on the
subject for some time, and it will be
printed before long.
My conclusions on this matter are
based on the reports made me by
three special commissioners in Alaska,
under the direction Of this department,
who made a study of the conditions
prevalent along the southern coast Of
Alaska. DR.. Sheldon Jackson made a
special study of conditions in the Yu-
kon valley. I have supplemented their
reports by study of my own, and now
predict without hesitation that, in my
opinion, Alaska's fertile soil will be-
fore many years, produce grain and
food products which will more than
equal in value all the gold which is
now supposed to be hidden beneath
the surface.
This is a strong statement, but be-

CONDITIONS which exist there are nar-
aIleled by the conditions In Nor+Ia,.,,
oCotiand' which produces rugged

OF the British navy I believe that bn,
lore many years the men who are rails
eu IN the rugged climate of Alaska ON
Sgcn 1000 products as can be cultivat-
ed IN that climate, will be the hard
lest' healthiest, most fearless and
lofaVest OF all the American people
ana that they will be the bone and
SlheW OF the American navy on tha
Pacific coast.
The soil of Southern Alaska along
the coast is rich and best suited for
barley and oats, the food on which
the northern ScOtchman thrives Fish
VIII be an important feature Of the
AIaskan's diet, and thus the race will
become a sea-faring one, we'll suited
Tor the United States navy. If we
SEND to the people now living there
commissioners who can teach them In
a practical manner how to raise these
ana ether foods profitabIy,- I believe the
country will develop rapidly. Grass is
abundant, and can be easily cultivated
further, and by a special process yva
can teach the Alaskans how to make
hay, even in the worst kind Of Alaskan
climate, when it rains a little every
day. We would introduce whatever
vegetables could be successfully cu-
tiVated, and make the best use of the
soil now so rich already
The winters need not be especially
hard, for food will be abundant in the
summer and can be easily stored away
for winter consumption. In barley
alone, a tremendous traffic could be
built. More than enough barley to
feed a greater population than is prob
able in a number of years to come can
be successfully raised and that is q
grain for which there is a constant
market. [ repeat it, AlaSka's agricuI-
tural possibilities will yield her more
money than will ever be taken out of
the gold mines.
Congress in 1887 appropriated SIS, 600
for the purpose Of establishing an
agricultural experiment station in
every state and territory. This was
never extended to Alaska, and special
act of congress has been asked by the
department of agriculture to set aside
$4,000 for the purpose of increasing
the agricultural possibilities of that
territory. The department does not
contemplate establishing an expert
ment station, but asks that congress
give the authority to eXpend the money
in introducing various plants and
grains best suited to the climate, and
in sending a corps of specialists to
Alaska to introduce the plants and
educate the people in their use.
