LIKES INLAND VALLEYS Napoleon Wells Describes the Sua
 Sitna and MdtanuSka.

Napoleon Wells, a Sah Francisco capitalist arrived on the steamer Ek- celSior last evening from months
 trip into the Susitna aud Matahuska valleys, ant is Staving at tho Hotel Coleman. He is so we'll pleased with
 what he saw in Central Alaska that he has decided to make large invest mentS along the route of the Alaska central railway. Mir Wells Is con- servative business man of means and mature age. His opinions are conses Qr9n,ly formed f'om the observations of trained mind.
 "lfanybody had told me before l left
 san francisco that I should find more agreeable climate in the SuSitna valley than the climate of California, and that the vegetation of Central Alas ku is equal to the best vegetable life of the middle states, could not by any possibility have believed it. But I have been there; havt Steh, and, mar vicious as it maS appear, I am cOnvin- ced that the SuSitna and MatanuSka valleys will proluce aBundantly of the best grades of wheat; rye oats and barley, besides berries and fruits in protusion. The finest %Nrdeh ' ever saw, none excepted anywhere, is now under cultivation at Palmer Station on Knik Arm, The potato crops there this year will yield at the rate Gf 100 bushels to the acre. For size, quality and flavor the potatoes are meNcplled by any | ever ate in a more Soptherly Both Mir. Herniug and Mr, Palmer have small patches of wheat oats and barley, and all of them have matwed hard and plump, The sam pleS saw would yield 10 bushels per acre.
 "I saw tens of thousands of acres of the rankeSt, leafest,moSt Succulent red top grass. Much of it would go five tons to the acre. As stock country, with rich mining dtstaicts for markets, I do not know where more Gattering could be found,
 'The coal, iron, gold and copper re- sources of that country though barely scratched are there in such abundance that l dare not give rein to my real opinion for my conservative friends in the states would say that had lost my l head But my eyes did not deceive me and the mineralsare there forall to see.
 ''I venture to say with the utmost that the Alaska Central Railway is opening an agricultural and stock grazing country not surpassed by any state in the Union, and the richest district in variety and abund- ance of mineral resources on the face of tRe earth
 "I vill say too, with careful weigh l ing of my words, that Seward will in l due time become the most important financial and industrial | center north of Seattle, not excepting Victoria or Vancouver. 1t is truly the Gateway to all of Central Alaska, so soon as the Alaska Central penetrates that vast region. A net work of branch lines east and west from the main trunk ! line will give Seward command of a country as large in extent as the whole watershed of the Mississippi valleN'

Peary Hopes to Make Connection
 by Relief System

Explorer Peary hopes to reach the north pole by means of a complete Sys- tenn of relief squads which will enable the men who make the final dash to be fully supplied with provisions. He will Sail as far north as possible in the good ship Roosevelt Then a troop of men will plod northward with large sup ply of provisions. When part of the 2tock is consumed a squad will start back for more. The others will con. tinte another lap, and then another souad will go back.
 The returning squads will bring an- other stock of provisions from the ship and dalfrer to the second; the second will deliver 10 the third and so or, The squad which makes the dash will have just enough to reach the pole and return to the roint where it will meet the nearest relief company The suc- ccssive relief squads are expected to be able to take care of the entire company on the return.
 The record of previous attempts to reach the pole which have resulted in a nearer approach Is as fallows
