New Drx-Land Wheat.

Durum wheat, for seed. is being
sent out to Colorado farmers by their
state agricultural college. This is the
new grain, that when sown in the
fall, will grow and ripen In the arid
belt without irrigation. Idaho enjoys
late spring rains and most of our
desert country is at lower altitude
than that of Colorado, and Durum
wheat should grow well in our state

LAST ONE
No More POtlatches Among
 Alaska Indians

The great potlatch, given by the four chiefs of Sitka, Annihootz, Bon-a-hayn, Wis-ke-lsh and Yah-kwan, known to the white people as Jackson, Bean' Paddy and Davis, and which has J"st come to a close after five weeks of feast ing and iollification, will mark the ter imitation forever of an ancient Indian custom in this section of Alaska, If the edict the big chiefs sent forth shall be obeyed. After the last feast and the last dance of the greas potlatch aud the last vestige of the savings of the big chiefs had been distributed among the natives of the different tribes of their countrymen, the four chiefs, with George Shortridge ard ChilkoOt Jack, of the Chilkats, and other high ,lass Indians, gathered there in secret con clave and the others Annihoo 2 made speech, enjoining that in the future there be no more potlatches, no more tribal dances, no more feasting and that 
 hereafter the Indians abstain from further observancei of the customs and traditions of their race, but that they accept the religion of Christianity and follow the precepts of the Nazarine and the customs of their white brethren, The other chiefs, including the Chil- kats acquiesced.
 Such is the story brought from Sitka by ChilkooJ Jack, who returned from the ancient capital of Alaska on the Georgia. All the Chilkats, Hoonahs, Killisnoos and Yakutats have left Sit ka, except George Shortridge, chief of all the Chilkats, who remains there for while longer.
 Chilkoot Jack returns a richer man than when he left He was given S27O in money, 100 blankets and 10 large boxes of provisions by the generous chiefs who gave the pOtlatch, besides seven coal oil cans filed with eulachon oil.

The position of Mayor Ballinger, of Seattle. that while Alaska should have an elective delegate in congress that au a poiutive one would be satisfacto- ry. does not meet with favor with the officials of the Arctic Brotherhood who are sndeavoring to secure for this dis tric. @ representative in congress.
 Godfrey Chealander, grand Arctic recorder of the Arctic Brotherhood, has active charge of the work of ad- yanciug the position for a delegate in congress that is being conducted by tue Arctic Brotherhood, and he says that organization would by no means be satisfied with an appointive delegate Mir Chealsnder has written to the Alaska club at Seattle to that effect, saying that no delegate at all would be preferable to one that shall receive his crsd antials from without Alaska.

Lieut.. Searles was formerly from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and in an interview while at his home town he is quoted as saying:
 Alaska is at best only dreary, des- olate, mountainous wilderness, peopled by a starving, ignorant, superstitious, filthy and rapidly disappearing people. Alaska is no place for sane man. Out side of gold mining in Southeastern Alaska. there is little to command the country as human habitation, not even agricultural possibilities, notwithstand glowing reports to the contrary, which appear to be the dying gasp of inter eSted promoters.

Perhaps the greatest weights borne

the loads OF ore brought up from the
mines Of the Andes by the miners OF
Chilli. Darwin visited a copper mine
In ravine leading from the main
range OF the CordllIeras. where the
work was carried on by such primitive
means that. though the mines haG
been worked in the mountains for at
least two centuries. the water was re.
moved in some by carrying 1t up snaf,s
in leather bags on mems backs.
Sir Francis Head, when visiting a
similar mine. found that all the ore
was carried up to the surface, y YER
teal climb OF 40 fee, by the miners,
and that the average weight carried
was go pounds. This load was NOT
carried up a winding stair. but up
Iotched trunks OF trees. set almost up

The food of the Gillian miner, ae-
cording to Darwin. consisted OF ra-
