GINSENG
Information Relating to the Richest Product of the Soil.

Prof. Howard of the Missouri State Agricultural College says: "I advise American farmers to cultivate Ginseng. Big profits are realized. Itis easily grown" A bulletin by the Pennsylva- nia State College says: "The supply of native Ginseng root is rapidly di- minishing and the price per pound is correspondingly increasing, while the constant demand for the drug in China stands as guarantee of a steady mar ket for Ginseng in the future." Amer ican Consul General Wildman at Hong Kong writes: "There will be little difficulty in disposing on this coast of all the Ginseng that is grown in Amer ica.
 Ginseng is staple on the market as same as corn, wheat and cotton. The present market price varies from S6 ,00 to $500 per pound, while the cost of production is less than $1.50 There is room in one's garden to grow several hundred dollars worth each year. The plant can be grown throughout the United States and Canada in any soil or climate that will grow ordinary gar den vegetables. There are two plant ing seasons. spring and fall.
 We arc buyers and exporters of t he dried product, and grow roots and seeds for planting purposes. Let us show you how to make money growing Gin seng. You can get practical start in the business for small outlay and soon have nice income.

By Dog Team To Washington.

By Dog Team To Washington.
 Seattle Times: After travelling alone over trackless Arctic waters for a distance of 400 miles, Eli Smith, veteran mail carrier of Alaska and one of the most widely known men in the district, is to start from Seattle within a few days to make ord-break- ing trip to Washington, D. C.. Part of this journey he says, will be overland, on foot or with dogs pulling him inathe same sled he has used for many years carrying the mails from Point Barrow, on the Arctic ocean. to Nome.
 "I propose to show the people of the states," said he, "just how their brothers in the Arctics are forced to depend on men and dog teams for communication with the outside world during the long and tedious northern winters. May be that they will bring out a stronger sentiment in fovor of adequate appropriations by con- gress for the mail routs of the far North. With proper facilities in the way of roadhouses and relay teams the mail from Valdez to Nome could be carried in one- third the time required at present. The greatest hardships and even suffering, to say nothing of pos- tive dangers, must face tn @ mail route men of Alaska every year.
 ''I will tell the people on my trip to Washington just what we of the North have to contend with and I am persuaded that some good will come of 1t. At any rate I'll start 'mushing,' as we say in the North, when travelling afoot over the country. as soon as 1 can find good snow travelling on the east side of the Cascade mountains. 1 will not use the trains any oftener than is absolutely necessary. Where possible I'll show the people of the States just how we travel over the snow and ice fields of the North and I'll take with me my team of nine Malamoots and my whole outfit, just as 1 used it carrying the mail from Point Bar row to Nome and from that place up the Yukon and ranana val leys to Fairbanks and thence out to Valdez"
 Smiths route from Point Bar row, where tue waters relief is located, to Nome is one uf the most desolate and storm swept districts on the globe. During the winter bizzards prevail con- stantly across 2 long strip called Death Valley and which is level SIS a floor. There lie the bones of many Eardy miner whom death nas overtaken on the trail In sumner time it's frozen waste blossoms with deep grass inter- twined with wild heliotrope, giv- ing no hint of the dreadful possi- bilities of the place in winter.
 This is Eli Smiths first trip to the States ill the last seven years. He says travelling afoot between here and Washington will be a vacation compared with his reg ular work in the North.

he refers to a middle class for Ha-

speaking people who come to these ISL

and livelihood and growing up with
the country and getting a little some

"These islands should be good for
something besides raising cane and it
is the Presidents desire to see the
people of the middle class have a
chance here, and 1 believe that such
people as these just arrived in the Su-
veric will go far toward making this
country what it should be.
Il would not be at all surprised if
President Roosevelt decided to make

he overlooked so important a portion

talked of making a trip to the Philip

WHAT MIGHT
HAPPEN TO HAWAII
IN CASE OF WAR


If Japan and the United States should
ever go to war, the Hawaiian Islands
would undoubtedly, be the immediate
theater of operations. The prompt
capture of these islands and the Philip
pines would be one of the first mes-
sures attempted by Japan. Natural
ly the property holders in both groups
would be likely to suffer great loss in
such an event and the confiscation Of
the sugar property of Americans would
follow.
But aside from that feature of the
possibilities, there is one other that
the talk of war is causing certain local
people not a little worry. 1t is the
American investors in the Japanese
war bonds, who are wondering what
would be their status in event of
war English and American investors
took up the bulk of the Japanese war
bonds that were issued by Japan to
enable her to carry on her recent war
with Russia.
There were two issues of six per
cent war bonds, one of $5O,OOO,OOO and
one of $6OOOO,OOO of which one half was
allotted to American subscribers. That
is $4,000, 900 of these two issues were
bought in America and are presumably
