REPORT TO ASSOCIATION.
The action of the conference will now go
| before the General Association for further
consideration The. report of the body
will be presentedAb by. Judge Barks6a1e, and
| the Committee on Order of Business is
/ specially urged by the conference to pro-
| vide ample time for the Offering and dis
cussion Of the report. 1t Is hoped that
the educational commission. which will
probably be composed of men who are in
| no wise connected with the schools. will
be appointed early in the session of the
i association so that the, institutions need
inE help may consult with it before the
delegates dispense. The commission will
be such an important factor in the educa-
| ticr.al work of the State that the .associa-
tor will proba bly, appoint a special COM
! mittee to thoroughly canvass the situation
/ and present the names of the persons
best qualified toseonstitute it.
WILL SUPPORT CO-ORDINATIoN. :
1t is highly. interesting to note that the
associations Committee on General E6u-
cation, an Institution entirely distinct
| from the conference. will heartily endorse
! the coordination scheme. Prof. Hudnall
is chair.<an of this committee and will
present his report to-day. He said last
| night that this report would strongly urge
| the adoption of the unifcaton idea.

GARDENING ON THE YUKON.
Report by Prof. Georgexon 60 the
AgricuiturnI Department l. De-
ctdedIy Encouraging

report has been received at tho
department Of agriculture from Prof.
c. {. Georgeson, officer In charge OF
the Alaska experimenting stations,
on the outlook for gardening and
agriculture In the cold interior re-
gion Of Alaska along the Yukon. It's
general tone is decidedly encourag-
ing. Prof. Georgeson spent the sum-
mer in the interior and visited tho
experiment station established a year
ago at Rampant. which is just out
side the arctic circle. and such other
places as were selected for depart
ment experiments. In spite of an
unusually late season there were
ready by the middle OF August new
potatoes. cabbage. caulifiower. beets
and other vegetables, while lettuce.
radishes and turnips. grown IN the
open air, had been In use some
weeks. Flower seed furnished last
year had bloomed in a large variety
OF ANNALS. Rye, seeded the previous
fau at Rampant. had wintered per-
fsctly and was fully ripe in July.
spring-seeded barley had ripened
about the middle of August. The
prospect for oats and wheat 20 ma
ture was most favorable. On the
lower Yukon extensive areas of ex-
ccllent land were found. where there
was an abundant and often luxuriant
growth OF grasses over six feet in
height. Abundant moisture and long
summer days account for the sur
prising vegetable growth in that sec
tion of the far north.
