testify to the value of Henry & Johnson's

GRAIN GROWING IN ALASKA
SpecinI Agent GeorGeson Brings
Home samples Grown on ENpcri-
mcnt stations at Sitka.

WASHINGTON, Dec, THE investiga-
tions of the Department of Agriculture con-
cerning the agricultural possibilities of
Alaska were continued during the last sea-
son. The special agent of the department,
Prof. C. C. Georgeson, who is in charge of
this work. has just returned from Alaska.
He brought with him "A collection of very
fine samples OF grains and vegetables grown
on the newly established experiment stations
at Sitka and Kenai, Cooks Inlet. The sam
pies include several varieties of spring wheat,
which matured prefectly and also a dozen
varieties each OF barley and oats, besides
rye fax and buckwheat. All Cf these grains
compare favorably with grains grown any
where in the United States.
The earliest sowiugs of grain were made
in April, some in May, some OF the sam
pies as late as May 26. The two varieties
of wheat named were harvested September
3. Barleys mostly ripen by the end of Au-
gust and cats mature about September 25.
The successes in grain growing in Alaska
subject the possibility thai the territory
in time may produce seed of early ma
turing varieties for uee farther south.
Among the collection of vegetables are
some remarkable specimens Of potatoes,
onions, carrots, parsnips and rutabaga.
Prof, Georgeson says all hardy vegetables
can be grown with great success in the
coast regions of the territory

TAKES UP THE ROBERTS CASE
Committee Meets with Closed Doors
to Formulate Plan of
Procedure.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE special com
mittee of the house appointed to investigate
the charges against Mr.. Roberts, the Nor
mon representative from Utah. held its first
meeting today behind closed doors. The

termining the method of procedure in the

Messrs. Morris of Minnesota, Freer of West
Virginia, Littlefeld of Maine, Mcpherson OF

and Miers os Indiana, democrats.
Little progress was made at the meeting
today and an adjournment was taken until
tomorrow at 10 o'clock. 1t has not yet
been decided whether Mr.. Roberts is TO be
allowed counsel or whether the hearings will
be open or private. The determination OF
the latter question, it is believed will de-
pend upon Mr.. Roberts wishes. Mr.. Roberts
also will doubtless be allowed oohnsel
The question as to whether the commit
tee will go TO Utah to take testimony was
also raised, but it was not decided at the
meeting today. Almost all the time was oc-
cupied in a general exchange OF ideas as
to methods of procedure.

Ninety Per Cent of Raw Material
in United States.

Union Broom Supply company held secret
meeting here today and decided to make
the price on broomcorn 5000 per ton. This

Lively ColIOGuy Between Chandler
and Hale Over Athletic Sports.

and Hale Over Athletic Sports.
WASHINGTON, Dec 7.--Routine pro-
ceedings of the senate today were enlivened
by a coloquy between Chandler of New
Hampshire and Hale of Maine over a bill
introduced by the former to promote athletic
sports at the military academy at West
Point and the naval academy at Annapolis.
Both senators became facetious and at
times sarcastic over the growth of athletics
at American colleges and Chandler advanced
the proposition that the cultivation of such
sports as foot ball and similar sports at
the government academies ought to be given
the sanction of law. q. ...
The senate will hold no further sessions
until Monday.
An invitation was extended through PTesi-
dent pro TEN Frye to the senate to attend
the George Washington centennial memorial
services to be held in this city on Thurs
day December IA, under the auspices of
the improved Order of Red Men. Senator
Depew is to deliver the oration upon the
occasion.

ing the committee on privileges and cleo
tions to investigate the right of William A.
Clark of Montana and Nathan B. Scott OF
West Virginia to seats in the senate and to
ferred to the committee on contingent ex-
penses.

luton in favor OF the election Of the United

GEN. WOOD AND ROOT CONFER
Talk Over Future Plans for Carrying On the
Work in Cuba,
BROOKE WILL PROBABLY RETURN HOME
Expected that Military Force VIII Tie
Reduced, When Ocncrni wood
VIII Bc Placed at Head
of Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Dec General Leonard
Wood had conference with the secretary OF
war today respecting his future. While
neither of the principals had anything to say
for publication as to the conclusions reached
it is gathered that General Wood is to be
the next governor of Cuba succeeding Gen
eral Brooke, who will return to the United
States.
1t is expected that the military force in
Cuba can be greatly reduced in the near
future, so that while General Wood by
commanding the troops remaining will be
a military governor there will be so little
left of the military establishment that his
office will be much more civil than military
in fact. The reduction in force will enable
the War department to withdraw some or
perhaps all of the general officers of the
regulars now in Cuba.
