 MT. Cum has had special supervision over postoIlice affairs in Alaska since 1898, and by his thorough knowledge of postal matters, his integrity and uni form courtesy, he has gained the conti- dence of the people of Alaska. He has been instrumental in atfording to the people of Alaska the best mail iacili- ties possible nnder existing circum- stances and conditions, and it is notice able that where mistakes have been made, unavoidable as perhaps they were, Mr. Cum has been in nowise re- spOnsible thepefor.
 Leaving Seattle, Mr. Cum visited Ketchiilan, Juneau, Douglas, Eaines and Skagway. He stopped over in Dawson couple of days and also at Tanana. It was his intention to go up the ko, ukuk, but the low stage of the water male it inadvi,able for him to dD SO. A p,-tolii :e wIll be estlbii he'd at Coldioot, the new mining town on the huyuhuk.

The steamer Jeanie, which left for Nome on May l, has just arrived, after a long and perllous trip. The Jeanie, it will be remembered. was the first steamer to arrive in Nome during the seasons of 1900 and 1901, and ltttle doubt was entertained but that she would once laore carry off the honors.
 The first two weeks after her de- pur,ure from Seattle she experienced unusually fine weather, which gave promise of an early arrival in Nome. The first ice was encountered about lo0 miles north of the notable fur seal islands in Boring sea, but ordinarily at this time of year ice may be seen as far south as the Pribilotfs. The steam whaler Belvedere, which had been cruising about in the vicinity of St. Lawrence island, was sighted, and 1t was stated by her captain that the ice was comparatively thin and open water could be found direct to Nome. It ap- pears that the captain of the Belvedere based his statements entirely on sup position, and two days later, following what is nauticaily termed blind lead," the Jeanie was completely en- eircled by ice. A dense fog settled down, making it utterly useless to at tempt to move. It was believed that a good wind from the north would separate the ice and enable her to reach Nome in due time.
 As the days flew by the Jeanie drift ed north to within 37 miles of Nome, but she was so securely fast in the ice it was impossible to direcs her course. She was thus placed at the mercy Oi the wind and tdr- This was June 2. The current, at this time of year, sets from St. Lawrence island to Cape Rod ney, thence northwest to Cape Prince of Wales, through Bering straits, and into the Arctic ocean. TnNJcApie be- ing taken with the tide, rapidly drifted northwest from within l3 miles of Sledge island to Kings island; she re- mained in that locality for day or so. then, as the wind and side became stronger, she was carried helplessly on toward Cape Prince of Wales. As she neared the cape, it seemed she would inevitably run aground on the sand spit which extends for four of five miles oil this, the most westerly point of land on the American continent. The bouts were lowered over the sides and made ready in case of accident, and the flag was hosted to the mizzen mast unier down. This was very critlcal pos! tion, and it was seen that in case shf escaped being ground to pieces on the
The Nome nugget., 1902-07-05

spit, she would be carried into the Arctic ocean. and possibly crushed in the heavy ice to be found off Point Barrow.
 Believing that it might be possible to land the pa>, ongcra on tlc ice, q party of five men was organized. the names of whom are Harry Iimmerly, doe HMan. Tom Campiun, James ". Harrison and w. $. Bliss, of the Le- land, Bliss x Davidson Mining Com pany,the latter being chosen as leader. Wien within ten miles of Cape Prince of Wales these men started for land over the rough and broken ice, a most daring and tedious journey. When yet within sight of those abuard the steamer, one man was seen to fall through the ice into the freezing waters and was slowly drawn out by the remaining four by means Of rope. which was taken along to be used in a case of this kind. Before going half the distance each in his turn met with d similar. accident and narrowly ee- capped drowning. Finally, alter ruh- ming and jumping over miles of broken ice, the party came within one mile Of shore, and found, to their dlsmay, that the broken shore ice was being carried off shore in an opposite direction at the f ,.;, hn Ita separated and moving so rapidly it was concluded that it would be suicide to attempt to make land, and with heavy hearts and weary limbs the brave party were forced to retrace their step, to the steamer.
 Although the trip had thus far been made successfully, it was seen it would be much harder to return, as the ice was seperatiny and parting here ana there, and the utmost precaution was used lest they should be carried away out of reach of the steamer. A small ten foot board was taken from the shlI to be used in crossing from chunk tI chunk over openings ID the lce pach' aud this, the men claimed, saved thell lives. Many times the party stepped on small pieces of broken ice. and b! means of the Loard, paddled across places which might otherwise never have been crossed. As the Jeanie wa: drifting away from the cape, the com pass was unavailable in shaping thelI course, and had fog settled down there would have been no hope of theil eyer being heard from. Finally, lame and foot sore, the plucky party regainet the ship, which. since they had left. hat drifted miles away from the cape.
 The Jeapie being still bound fast il l the ice. was carried north ward arount the cape through Boring straits int

Pine Lands For Truck Garaens.

The pine lands In Mississippi AND
Louisiana where the timber has been
cut are fast being turned into truck
gardens. A good canning factory at
convenient points to put up the pro-
ducts of these farms would solve the
question of prosperity for the people
Of these sections.
One of the drawbacks to successful
truck farming is the question OF mar
1eting the products, and this can only
be solved by concerted action among
the growers Consignment shipments
rarely ever prove satisfactory, for the
reason that dishonest commission men
eat up the profits in undue charges and
claims for damaged truck. A combined
shipment in car load lots, with good
agent to look after the shipment,
changes all this The truck growers
association is the medium through
which to attain this end. Cotton

From an address by Professor Q. Nj.
Common, of Clemson College, before the
meeting Of the Georgia Dairymen's AS
sociations
THE increased interest IN dairying in
the South during the last decade has
been due largely to the change in condi-
lions. and occupations OF the people.
Diversified ferming, the increase in
manufactures and more prosperous
condition for the people In general have
caused a rapid increase in the consump-
ti0n of dairy products. This increase
In consumption has opened up local
market, and those seeing opportunity
of turning an honest dollar have taken
advantage of It.
AS "a rule beef farming precedes
dairy farming. Where land Is cheap
and grazing land can be had at small
rental, beef raising is profitable, but
where the price of land is high and the
country is thickly settled the cow
crowds out the beef steer, because she
is a more economical producer Of hui
man food.
1.-THE dairymen In the South must, for
a time at least, be missionaries, as 1t
were, in their respective localities and
get the people interested in the bust
ness, so that after number Of diaries
have been established each will be a
help to the other. AS yet we can help
each other only at long range.
"Some one has said that success IN
dairying depends upon the man, the
COW and the feed. The man must irst
OF all be student; he must read good
dairy literature. Nine-tenths of the
men who make a success at dairyina
read one or more good dairy papers,
this fact has been established by stats
tics. If he is: ayoung man would ad.
wise him to spend a part Of his capital
in taking course at one Of our agricul
tural colleges. He should be a trained
thinker, and he able to work out for
himselfthe many little problems which
present themselves from time to time
There are many things we do not know
or understand about daifying as yet
The bulk of the work that has been
done along dairy lines by our expert
ment stations has been done in the
North and West. where the weather
food and market conditions are quite
different from those in the South, and
1t is to be hoped that our Southern sta
lions will take hold of this matter and
help the ,dGtrymen along"
The new enterprise. (Madison, Fla.) 1901-1908, 1902-08-21

Rapid is the progress of the present
age, and to keep pace with 1t one must
be constantly ON the alert to test thor
oughly the availability of every new
thing that comes up. Indeed, 1t is in
this manner largely that success can
be attained, for he who loiters by the
way in the least rs liable to be left far
behind in the race, and that speedily.
Hence the reason why advance the
idea of certain dairymen using the but

cut.

importance of Corn.

Corn is the most important crop
grown in this country, and especially
so in the South, where short crop is
disastrous. The South has paid many
millions of dollars to the Western
States for corn, and many additional
millions for corn products, all Of which
ought to have been grown and made in
the South. Southern farmers, as
rule, neglect their corn, from the selec.
ton of the seed to the harvesting of
the ears Cor nubbins, as the case often
Isl, that they may bestow more care
on the cotton crop, An abundant corn
crop means fat hogs-always salable
at q profit-fat horses and fat cattle
and plenty of milk and butter, fowls
and eggs, lin addition to the necessary
meat aud bread. No farmer growing
staple crops can be successful If he is
short ON corn, for it is the principal
food for farm animals, and well-fed
Farm animals are necessary to success,
If the entire crop is saved, as 1t ought
to be, the cash value is as great and
the net profits greater than those of
cotton. BY the use of modern machln-
cry the stalks can be made into hay
that is worth ON the farm or the mar
ket nearly as much as the ears, includ-
ing shuelSs and cobs. 1t is important
that half the corn crop be not wasted
