1t takes time for manure to show
full effect in the soil, and but little
benefit may be noticed the first year,
but gradually the materials will de-
compose and return to the soil the
original elements derived therefrom.
Some farmers are occasionally disap-
pointed with the use OF manure, but
the benefits from manure the first year
depend largely upon its condition when
applied to the soil.

Present number under asylum care. 13S Contrasted with similar statistics for the year preceding, attention may be called to the following changes: The total number of children aided is twelve
 greater, the average number three less
 The number of new admissions is twen-
 ty-four greater, while the number now
 under asylum care is only eight larger.
 In the Nina-Lynette nursery twenty
 three have been cared for. Of these, six
 have been returned to friends, three
 have been promoted to the house nur- sery, and three have died, leaving eleven
 there at the present time. The names of those who have died are the follow ing: On the Fourth of July 1899, James E. Irvine, aged nine months: November 2S, 1899, Madeline Engelhardt, aged one year and half. Both of these died of meningitis. April 16, 1900, Elsa F. Olson, aged fifteen months, died of pneumonia. Louis Marks, house nur- sery child, aged two years and seven months, also died of pneumonia on the Fist of April, 1900,
 Although considerabl sickness has prevailed during the past year, there have been no deaths among the older children, and no cases of contagious dis ease sufficiently serious to require the use of the Ives cottage. The cases of pneumonia have been unusually numer- Ous.
 The conduct of the school has met with our approval. Mrs. Loveridge, who entered upon her work in Septem- Der, has taken the place made vacant by Miss Cooley; while Miss Wolcott and Miss Woodend still continue their work as heretofore
 After long consideration, the execu- tive committee decided to open a kin dergarten department for the benefit of the house nursery children, and Miss Pierce was employed as its teacher We feel, however, that the enterprise has not yet passed beyond the experimental stage, and while its success in our case has not been fully proven, it has cer- tainly not been disproven.
 The sewing class has been maintain ed through the faithful and voluntary instruction of several young ladies, { mostly outside the board of managers
 The boys workshop continues under ! the same teacher, and the sale of it's ! articles on Donation day proves an | ever present stimulus to the workers.

ALAsKA's PRODUCTION.

Alaska is increasing her lead over other
Pacific Coast divisions in her salmon pack
at a handsome rate. The pack this wear
is worth. to the cannerymen, nearly
$4,000 900, which is greater than that OF
Washington and Oregon combined. There
win have been four times as much salmon
packed In Alaska when the season closes
as on the famous Columbia river.
From this brief statement, some Idea NAV
be'sained of the resources of this district.
and even the fishing INDUSTRY is yet capable
of wonderful expansion. There are great
sections Of our thousands of miles OF sea
coast where the distance between canneries
is hundreds of miles. The pack of this
season. so experts say. could be quadrdpled
and still the field would not be so nearly
filled as is Puget Sound.
Add to the fishing business Of Alaska the
gold output. the fur catch and the other
sources Of income, and you have pro-
duction that runs into figures that would
stsrtle some of the statisticians of older
states. Elv B. Weare estimates the gold
output of the American Yukon and the
Bering sea coast for thisYear at SIC, ooo, 900
The product of the Southeastern Alaska
quartz mines will add manv millions more
and the fur trade contributes Its millions
to swell the grand total.
Alaska's production, together with the
sales of its wholesale merchants to the for
sIKn trade will exceed the magnificent sum
of$7o.ooo, 900 for this year, and all these
viii be multiplied in the yearsof the i'm
mediate future at rate that will astonish
the world. V
These figures in themselves tell the tale
ofwhat the few thousand Alaskan pioneers
are doing in the way of trade expansion for
the United States. Thev speak for us In
our demands for a suitable government
more eloquentlv than trope and metaphor
They demonstrate the necessity for local
Legislature. They say to the admlnistra-
tfon that here in the North Is country
deserving Of the nations care; that here
is'a field In which to work out the bless
inas Of expansion; that here is where YOU
can demonstrate your capacity to care fol
and. develop trade.
