Republicans Seem Confident of Electing
 Sixth Ward Alderman
 The republicans of the Sixth ward seem to be confident that they will elect their candidate for alderman, Harry M Robinson, at the city election to-mor- row. MT. Robinson's candidacy is be- ing pushed with great vigor by his nu- merous friends, and he is also receiving hattering consideration from many prominent democrats in the ward.
 MT Robinson is a young and active newspaper man and has resided in this city about a year and 8 half. He has held responsible positions on some of the most important papers in the east, including Boston, Worcester, Spring field, Brooklyn and New London.

Y j \ As about everything that came up last week was favorable to higher prices, stocks went up. Toward the close Sat- urday there was realizing in order to bag profits and in order not to be left should something untoward happen over Sunday.
 Tn the railroad list the pressure of liquidating sales ceased, and as nothing had occurred to make stocks less val uable than they were in March, the ten dency was to give them as high an av- craze as they had then. Every ob- stacIe to a, free movement in prices seems to have been removed; the so- called large financial interests appear to be friendly to an advance, and there has been more general response to the 8 rise in values than at any time this year. Underneath all this, however, there is evidence that a great many stocks are passing from the hands of those who bought them at the low rates of 1903 and 1904.
 An easing upin money last week of a distinct character, practically the first substantial movement of the kind since the close of March, was viewed with much satisfaction among the borrowing class
 The expectation that the dividend rate on Ama1garnated will be made IA quarterly is so widely held that if it is rot realized the stock ought to react. However. by dividend rate the price will be higher, according to the room traders. They are all bullish on the stock, because of the late indications. Trade conditions signify nothing to them. /:
 The Metropolitan issues were aided by the statement of President Mellen, of the New Haven. that his road was ready to make an alliance with the traction company.
 Many commission houses reported a keener interest in the market generally on the part of their customers, who, moreover, bought such stocks as United States Steel preferred, Amalgamated Copper, Union Pacific, Reading and others.
 There was some selling of Copper by people who professed to be disappointed that only per cent. dividend would be declared.
 That the bull swing which seems to be "on' at present will go somewhat further, or, say, until June 1 at any rate, is the belief of some large oper- ators. Tn this movement the industrials are expected to be the leaders
 The extremes for call loans last week were 1-4 to per cent, but both quo- tations were purely exceptional, as only 8 few loans were made at either figure.
 The country's general business is in excellent shape, and that the outlook is bright in this direction, have been en- |" phasized by this weeks outside develop rnents. Authoritative figures on the iron trade show that production and consumption have both reached their record maximum.
 Argument against federal power in regulating railroad rates has been made in behalf of the eastern roads by Sam uel Spencer, president of the Southern Railway. Now George R. Peck, gen. eral counsel of the St. Paul, for the western roads makes strong plea.

AGRICULTURE IN ALASKA

Agriculture is no longer an expert
ment in Alaska. Fred &. Racer, in
charge of the government station at
Rampant, has made a success of the
work. He has demonstrated that the
country will produce the cereals and
hardy vegetables to perfection. Some
of the markets are supplied with home
grown radishes, carrots, cabbages,
onions and other garden products. New
farms are being cleared and additional
stations opened by the department Of
agriculture. Some persons have To-
Gated homesteads in the different val.
leys and propose to engage in tilling
the soil.
Dairying and stockraising promise
profitable results in some of the best
agricultural districts. In another year
the small farmers near Fairbanks will
be furnishing vegetables and hay, and
some of the fresh meat required in the
city. The growing of grains and
grasses insures pasture and winter
forage for COWS and general farm stock
1t opens a new industry that presents
riches to the farmers and health to the
consumers of fresh produce. To some
enthusiastic people the possibilities of
agriculture are greater than the miner
al expectations.
Farming in Alaska will prove one OF
the most profitable investments for
many unsuccessful in securing mining
claims. Those now engaging in the
work are experienced agriculturailsts
from the cold sections of our country.
They can see the opportunities of the
land and are ready and willing to grasp
the situation. They have the soil and
climate as natural resources. BY
utilizing the experiences of handling
the old home farms they can win in the
work of tilling the fields even in that
extreme northern country. The market
is at home and cannot we'll be taken
away by competitors. 1t will increase
with the development of the many re-
sources.
The government has demonstrated
the possibilities of agriculture for the
benefit of the people. 1t is work as
signed to the department ofagriculture.
The agents have acted as pioneers in
opening the paths to prosperity on the
land. Mining is great industry and
produces an immense annual cash divi-
dend paying treasury. But when sup
plemented with agriculture it is doubly
profitable. 1t insures permaEency to
the homes and cities of The North
country. 1t stimulates the colonists
in the work of clearing the land and
making homes on the farms. There is
future to the country that the young
men of today should not fail to investi-
sate.-P.-I.

That the Copper River valley is pc
culiarly adapted to the raising of vege-
tables has been demonstrated this year
beyond any paradventure of doubt.
The Valdez Transportation Co.'S road
house at the mouth of the Gakona river
in charge of George Rorer, is supplied
with larger and finer potatoes than
we're ever shipped to Alaska. They
have been grown from Early Ohio seed
and average over a pound each in
weight. a sample can be seen at the
office of the V. T. Co. There is also a
fine stand of oats at Gakona about ten
acres being well matured on Aug. 81,
the stalks averaging four feet high.
Two COWS were sent in early in the sea-
son and that they are thriving is evil
denced by the output of butter amount
ing to IS pounds for the month of Aug
ust, and this from grazing exclusively.

The Hubbard & Elliott party return
ed to town this week after a good sea-
son's work on their property at Elliott
creek, says the Valdez Prospector.
Diamond drilling and hand work was
done, keeping 27 men busy since early
this spring, and the lodges have been
examined on number of the claims.
On one claim hole was cut with the
diamond drill for 48 feet across the
lead and nothing but solid bornite was
encountered all the way. On another
claim in running at an angle so as to
cut across the ledge a hole was driven
% feet, showing ore all through. A
tunnel was run into the mountain to
strike one ledge at depth of 125 feet,
but when the season closed still had
about 30 feet to go before striking the
ledge. On still another claim tunnel
was run in 371a feet from the foot wall
ross-cutting the ledge and when work
stopped the hanging wall had not been
reached, thus showing up more than
81 feet of ore which averages % per
cent copper. Another lead was cross
cut by tunnel Is feet from the foot
wall without getting through the ore
body. The ledge averages 20 per cent
copper On many of the other claims
tie lodges were stripped extensively,
showing large surface indications Of a
fine quality of ore. 1t has been con-
clusively proven that the Mineral
King claim has six foot vein with we'll
defined walls. The ore is copper glance.
This ledge has been stripped for $50
feet Though work has practically
ceased for the season a few men will be
kept working all winter. In the event
of railroad being started this com
pany guarantees to deliver 500 tons of
ore to the railroad daily within 30 days
after the road reaches the property.
This can be done easily as the ore can
be economically handled by gravity
and there is abundance of water for
power II. P. Elliott, one of the leading
men Of the company visited the prop
erty aud remained on it all summer.
He is greatly pleased with the prop
erty.
