A NOVEL
GARDEN
How c. N. DrisCOII Forces
Vegetation.
UNDERGROUND heat
NOme'S Pioneer Garden On the
Spit the Scene of Newest
Thing in Gardening.

In the little plot Of ground wherein
grew the first of Nome's garden truck
In 1900, c. n. Driscol of the sandspit
has introduced new system of garden
ing, which. besides attracting consider
able attention. is proving very success
full.
The feature of the garden which at
tracts the attention of nearly all of
those who pass, is a stovepipe coming
up through one corner of the little
twenty-foOt square garden plot, from
the top of which pours a constant stream
of smoke. Therein lies The novelty of
the garden.
The beds are on the river bank, I'M
der which has been made II room, and
in the side of this, under the garden,
Mr.. Driscol has placed a five foot furn-
ace. The heat and smoke is conducted
under tn. garden beds through zig-zag
pipes, the average depth of which is
two feet below the surface, the final
discharge pipe coming out in the cor
ner the most distant from the furnace.
Mr.. Driscoll's theory, upon which is
based his scheme, is that the heat from
the rays of the sun ut this season is in
sufficient for quick growth, therefore
he supplements it with artificial heat
from underneath, with the result that
seed planted week ago, today is well
sprouted and showing plenty of green
above the surface.
Although the plan is novelty here.
its author found it successful in Mon
tana many years ago, and has put it in
operation here on its present small
scale, merely as an experiment, which,
should IL prove us successful as present
indications seem to promise, will result
in much larger garden next year.

Large Number of Daw.
SOnites to Go There.
FLEET OF STEAMERS
Will Ply This Summer Between
Dawson and the Mouth of
the Tanana River.

Dawson, April THAT big rush is
expected to the Tanana is evident from
the. way in which the boats sailing
under the N. G. flag have been sched-
uled to leave Dawson after the opening
OF navigation. 1t is also evident from
the dates set for the departure of the
Rock Island, the first of the fleet to get
away, that quite number of Dawson
ties expect to take in the Tanana this
year.
The Rock Island is dated to leave
Dawson May IS and will go direct to
Fairbanks. After discharging her pas
sengers and freight she will 90 to the
mouth of the Tanana and wait there
until June 5, when she will leave for
Dawson. On June Is she will leave
Dawson for Fairbanks and ST. Michael.
Upon her return she will connect with
the Sarah at the mouth of the Tanana,
and then proceed to Fairbanks
At about the same hour that the Rock
Island pulls out on May 25, the big tow
boat Louise, with her fleet of barges.
will get away for Andreafski, where
she will load her barges and return to
Circle City. After discharging at that
port she will leave for St. Michael.
About June |, or few days after, the
ice breaks on Labarge, and through
passengers arrive. the Leah will sail
direct to Fairbanks. After making
that station she will go the mouth of
the Tanana and await the arrival of
the Susie, and after taking what pas
sengers are booked for Fairbanks will
return to that port.
The Susie will leave Dawson June -
and the Sarah June "a for St. Michael.
Both steamers will carry passengers
for Fairbanks, connecting with the
Rock Island and the Leah at the mouth
of the Tanana.
So much satisfaction was obtained
from the little light draft steamer kOy-
ukuk on the river of the same name that
craft very much similar is being built
at Portland for use on the Tanana.
This steamer will be knocked down and
shipped to ST. Michael on the first boat
from Seattle. AS soon as it can he re-
built it will go on the run from the
mouth of the Tanana to Fairbanks.

GRANT SUBSIDIES
The Senate Territorial Committee
Turns Down Bills to Assist
Alaskan Railroads.

Washington, March lS.-The senate
committee on territories today turned
down the bill granting subsidy Of
$4,000 per mile to the Valdez, Copper
River & Tanana Railroad Company,
which proposed to build road from
Valdez to Eagle City. The sentiment
in congress is almost unanimous against
railroad subsidies, and, while it is rec
ognized that conditions in Alaska are
peculiar, no railroad company need ex-
pect to secure one.
The committee declined to grant an
extension of time to the Akron, Sterling
& Northern railroad within which to
build from Valdez to Thompson pass.
No work has been done by the COM
pany, and the committee failed to see
why further time should be given.
The bill extending the time for the
completion Of the Western Alaska Con-
struction Company's road between Sol
onion and Council City was, however,

has built ten miles of road, and shown
its good faith by expanding money.
The committee considered for long
time today the Dillingham; bill repeal
ing the Alaska big game law. Sena-
tors who visited Alaska last summer
were in favor of the bill on the ground
that the Indians and pioneers are un-
able to get meat without violating the
law, while in some parts of Alaska bear
and other game are pests. The sports
men of the East are, however, violent
ly opposed to the repeal of the law, and
the committee passed the bill over for
the time being.

Washington, March l5.-Representa-
tive Cushman and Allen Weir, Of Olym-
pia, called on the president this MORN
ing to call his attention again to the
slaughter of elk in the Olympic noun
tains. They told the president of the
experience of Game Warden Ref in
finding many carcasses of elk which
had been killed for their teeth. The
president expressed his earnest wish
that members of the Order OF Elks dis
courage the practice of buying elks'
teeth for use AS charms. and expressed
the belief that this was the most effect
i've method at present of protecting the
animals. Representative Humphrey
said that he was member of the order
but that he did not possess an elk's
tooth, and that he and many other
members discouraged their use.
