AGRICULTURE IN ALASKA.


The Government Sends mn Expert t.
Establish Experimental Farms.
Agriculture in Alaska has many pecl-
liarities, and also, in the opinion of some
well-informed people, many impossible
ties. To determine this latter point is
the mission Of Prof c. c. Georgeson CT
Kansas, who has been sent by the gen.
eral government to the territory to make
experiments. He will establish farms in
the various sections. One of these will
he located somewhere on the southern
coast, one at Cook Inlet, one on Kadiak
island, and one in the neighborhood Of
Circle City. Each will be devoted to the
culture of cereals and vegetables that are
known to thrive in similar soil
and climate elsewhere. an some
parts of Alaska almost any kind
of vegetation will thrive that grows in
the far northern states. On the Teller
potatoes as large as hens eggs are raised
every summer, and on the Yukon, not far
from Circle City. colony has successfully
cultivated all the hardy cereals and vari.
Gus kinds of vegetables, although the
plough that prepares the ground for po-
tato-planting scrapes the top of the ice.
At no time does the thaw at that point
go deeper than two feet, but the sun
shines so continuously and fiercely up
there-the thermometer in midsummer
averages 96 degrees in the shade-that
plant life is forced to maturity much
more rapidly than in the states.

SAID TOO MUCH FOR HIS GOOD.
How self-Praise Kept = Man From
Obtaining a Position.

The danger of saying too much ia al
ways more imminent than that of IA ying
too little. The man who is convinced
he has Appropriated the virtues of the
Creator. and insists upon it to his fellow
men, is always more offensive than the
man who secretly believes it, but spares
his acquaintance the knowledge of the
awful truth.
A story recently related to a repre-
sentative of Hardware by the head of a
large hardware house in New York, illus
trates the case in point. Something OF
this merchants disposition may be
CLEANED from the fact that. when speak
ing of his employees. he says "the boys
with an affectionate information, born OF
long appreciation of their good points,
and Lind liberation for their occasional
errors.
1t was the intention OF the house to
put another representative on the road,
and the man they had in view had been
favorably, though not thoroughly, known
to them for long time. Negotiations
were about concluded, and the signing OF
a remunerative contract by the salesman
was regarded by him as mere matter OF
form. At final interview with his pros
pective employer, and evidently with the
idea of further impressing the latter with
his desirability, he said: "Mr. -, I am
an Older man than you. have been in
this business for twenty five years, and |
wish to add that / have never made a
mistake"
As the wouldbe employer reached out
on his desk in an distracted manner. and
gathered in the unsigned contract, which
he slowly tore up in the same absent
minded manner, he remarked that it was
a source of keen regret TO him that he
simply couldn't afford to employ such a
valuable man: that there was not a man
connected with the house, from himself
to the dago who sorted the refuse pane,
every morning, who was not constantly
making mistakes and profiting by the ex
perience; and that the direct result O,
the placing of a perfect man among the
force would be immediate decentralization
As the perfect man slowly wendell hi,
weary way up the street it probably oc
CURED to him that he had smashed 9
beautiful record.

THE LANDING OF THE TROOPS.


Washington, June 26.-The following
has been received here:
playa del Este, Adjutant General,
Washington: Baiquiri, June 23.-We
had a very fine voyage. We lost less
than so animals, six or eight today. Lost
more putting them through the surf to
land than on the transports. The COM
mand 81 as healthy as when we left.
Eighty men are sick. The only deaths
were two men drowned in landing. The
landing was difficult. The coast is quite
similar to that in the vicinity of San
Francisco and covered with dense
growth of bushes. The landing at Bal
quiri was unopposed. All points occupied
by the Spanish troops were heavily BON.
barded by the navy to clear them out.
sent troops toward Santiago and occupied
Juragua City, q naturally strong place,
this morning, the Spanish troops retreat
ing as soon as our advance was known.
l had no mounted troops or could have
captured them, about 600 all told. There
is railroad from there in. l have cars
and an engine in my possession. With
the assistance of the navy l disembarked
5000 yesterday and as many more today.
l will get all the troops of tomorrow, in
Guiding the light artillery and greater
portion of the pack train, probably all OF
it, with some of the wagons. The ami
mails have to be jumped to the water and
towed ashore.
II had a consultation with Generals
Garcia, Rabi and Castillo at p. M. on
the Goth, 20 miles west of Santiago.
These officers were unanimously Of the
opinion that the landing should be made
east of Santiago. l had come to the
same conclusion. General Garcia promis-
es to join me at Juragua City tomorrow
with between 5000 and 1000 men, who
will be brought from west of Santiago
by ships of the navy to Juragua City and
there disembarked. This will give me
between 1000 and 5000 Cubans and leave
1000 under General Rabi to threaten San
Gago from the west.
1.-THE assistance of the navy has been
of the greatest benefit and enthusiastical-
ly given. Without them l could not
have landed in 10 days and perhaps not
at all, a. / believe would have had to
lose boats in the surf. / want nothing.
The weather has been good. Prospects
are for fair weather. SKATER,

Washington, June 25.--In response to
a telegram from the navy department re.
question information concerning the al
legged mutilation Of the bodies of the
marines killed near Guantanamo, Ad.
mirai Sampson has wired Secretary Long
AZ follows:
"Playa del Este, June 24.-Replying to
your dispatch l have to report that a
careful investigation has been made and
it is reported to me that apparent mu-
tilation was probably due to the effect
of small calibcr bullets fred at short
range, and l withdraw the charge of
mutilation. SAMPSON"

Both Sides Fighting for Every Point
In the Gin me.

Spokane, June 27.-Last Thursday suit
was filed by Senator Turner against the
other stockholders The senator charges
these parties with trying to dispose of
his interest in the lie Roi mine and other
assets of the lie Roi Mining and Smelling
Company at price far below its true
value, and he prays for an injunction
restraining the company from holding a
meeting for the purpose OF disposing of
the stock. Judge Prather issued a tenn
porary injunction returnabIe June %,
and bond was furnished by the plaintiff
in the sum OF $4,000 with himself, Col
onel w. NJ. Ridmth and f. d. Sanders as
security.
Events in the attempt to prevent the
sale OF the lie Roi mine moved quickly
yesterday. At times they approached the
dramatic.
In the early hours of the morning the
books and records of the company went
speeding northward to Rossland on a spe-
cial engine over the Spokane Falls l.
Northern railway.
Last evening Senator Turner and the
-'~,'N' AAA~Ass"SAS Va VIC oPp'SitiOu,
that the transfer OF the property would
likely be made today, procured from
Judge Richardson of the superior court a
restraining order restraining Colonel Tur.
ner. Colonel Peyton. l.. F. Williams and
ID. w. Henley from transferring the prop.
erty. and the papers were put in the
hands of Deputy Sheriff Burch for ser.
vice.
Getting wind Of this, Colonel Peyton
drove out to Mead, station on the Spo
kane Falls & Northern nine miles north
OF Spokane, to avoid service and inter
cept special train that he and the rep.
resentatives of the British America Cor
poiation, the prospective purchasers, had
chartered to go to Rossland
At 1880 o'clock last night this train
which consisted of special engine and a
private car, was all ready to start. just
before the moment OF starting Deputy
Sheriff Burch appeared at the depot with
the restraining order. The men he most
wanted to serve it on were inside the car

SAMPSON CAN GET SHIPS IN.
HObsOn Failed to Cork the Bottle
Rewards and Thanks.

New York, June PA dispatch to the
Herald from Port Antonio says:
While the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius
was making observations along the inner
harbor of Santiago few nights ago, am
pie evidence was discovered that the
sunken collier Merrimac does not COM
pletely blockade the channel
Further information develops the fact
that two battleships can enter the harbor
abreast, one passing on each side of the
Merrimac. This will be of great advan-
tage to Sampson when the final attack on
Santiago begins.
Lieutenant Hobson and his men are
still in communication with the fleet
There is little prospect that they will be
exchanged before the attack on Santiago
is made.
Promotion and Thanks.
Washington, June 27.-The president
today sent two special messages to con-
gress, providing for recognition of the
services of Lieutenant Hobson, the hero
of the Merrimac; of Lieutenant New
comb and the crew of the revenue cutter
Hudson, which rescued the torpedo boat
Winslow at Cardenas; Captain Hodgson
of the dispatch boat Hugh Mccullough,
who figured in the battle of Manila, and
Naval Cadet Powell. who held the steam
launch under the bluffs at Santiago har-
Dor searching for the crew of the Merri-
mac.
Authority is asked of the senate for the
transfer of HobsOn from the construction
corps to the line OF the navy.
The Hudson's crew are to be given n
vote of thanks and medals of comment
grafton, and Captain Hodgson is to be
suitably recognized.
The message states that Hobson's com
panions have already been promoted.
Powell will be advanced to an ensign.

The old story of PrOmetheuS is
a parable. PrOmctheuS was on
terms Of intimacy with the gods.
From them he stole fire, and gave
it to men. For this sin he was
bound to the rocks of Mount
Caucasus, and vultures were set
upon him. They only ate his
liver. This grew again as fast
as it was pecked away. Are his
sufferings to be imagined:
Take a modern interpreta ton
of the parable. There is nc
cooking without fire. La cooking
and eating the mischief lies. The
stomach is overtasked, the bowels
become clogged, they cannot dis
pose of the food that is given
them. The impurities back up
on the liver. Then come the vul,
tures-the torrents of a diseased
liver. DR.. Pierce'S Golden Medi-
cal Discovery is more than equaI
to the vultures of dyspepsia and
it's kindred diseases. There is nc
more need of suffering from dys-
pepSla than there is of hanging

dealers the world over.

Hermann and the Cheat.

A characteristic story is told of Herr

we'll known London club, where ecarte
was one of the fAvorite games indulged
in for stakes by no means Insignificant.
It was observed that ON these occasions
O certain member almost invariably rose
considerable winner. At length so
marked became the good fortune of this
member that another determined to
probe the matter to the bottom. One
evening, accordingly, at his own rooms,
he introduced Hermann under a false
name to a select party Of the members,
among whom figured the suspected one.
At the close of the nights amusement,
when the guests had departed, tho host
turned to tho conjurer and demanded
his opinion. ''Not n doubt Of it" re-
pliod Hermann, "our friend cheats,
but exactly how can't say yet. Give
me another chance" A second meeting
was subsequently arranged, and play
began. Suddenly Hermann, looking
straight at the supposed culprit, OK
claimed, "Where did you get that
kingl'' "Wher u" replied the other.
"Out of the pack, Of course. "Impos.
sible, my dear sir, 4" retOrted Hermann,
''for happen to have all the four kings
here" and thereupon he calmly drew
them from bis sleeve and laid them on
