GRAIN GROWING IN ALASKA.
Experiment Station Conducted Near the
Arctic Circle.

Mrs. F. e. RAIDER, whose husband
is in charge of the United States ex-
pertinent station at Rampant Alaska
just one degree south of the arctic cir
Gle, was recent visitor in this city,
and told surprising facts regarding
the agricultural possibilities of the eX-
treme northland, says a Seattle paper.
At the Alaska Yukon-F Pacific expo
si:ion, which is to be held at Seattle
in 1903, there will be a most inter-
esting exhibit of the results OF Mr..
Riders experiments in the far north.
The exposition will show the people
that there is more to Alaska than
glaciers and icepcrgs.
Eve are experimenting principally
with grains in an effort to produce
varieties that mature before winter
sets in," said she. 1.-THE grain seeds
we use are hardy varieties from Rus
sa and Finland.
"All hardy vegetables such as car
rots, parsnips. rutabagas, potatoes and
even peas can he raised successfully
Last year my husband succeeded in
raising string beans, and many of the
pods were seven inches in length.
POTATOES are among the most sue
cessful crops we have up there. Cap
tain Mayo, who lives at Rampant, has
been growing potatoes since 1872.

HAS HOPE FOR OREGON'S WATERWAYS

"The waterways of the country ara
the best freight regulators in the
world. National and state legislation
may assist in this regulation Of freight
charges, but the waterway does the
work without legislation.
81 have no doubt that the next con-
gress will make liberal appropriations
for the rivers and harbors of the Ore
gon country. and some of the credit
of this will be due to the work of the

lain.
Governor Chamberlain, ]. n. Teal,
]. 4. Peters and DR.. Ray are at home
from attendance on the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress, which
met at Washington, says the Salem
journal. Governor Chamberlain ar
rived in Salem this morning, and is
busily at work in the state house on
public matters. The other delegates
will be at home in a few days, These
are Peter I-oggie, of Marshfield; Col
onel f. Hofer of this city; Mr.. Beuh-
ner, of Portland.
The delegation attended all the ses-
sions of the congress and return home
we'll pleased with the work and the
showing that was made for Oregon.
Governor Chamr lain was honored
bv being one of tne committee ap-
pointed to present the resolutions
adopted to the president, the senate
and the house of representatives.. He
did no wait on the president, as at
that hour he was presenting the res
oluuons to Uncle Joe Cannon the
speaker of the house.
In speaking of the trip, this morn
ing Governor Chamberlain said:
"rhe work of securing larger an
nual appropriations for the rivers and
harhors has been rendered difficult
in the past on account of the existence
of great deal of prejudice that has
existed against these appropriations.
Much of that prejudice has been re.
moved. and this congress has done an
excellent work in the way of educa-
ton along these lines, and the people
are finding out the necessity of i'm
proving the waterways of the coun-
try.
This work is being rendered much
less difficult than it was in the past,
because of the inability of the rail-
roads to keep up with the constant
development of the commerce of the
country. The heavy classes of freight
are moving with such slowness that
the recommendations of this congress
as to the improvement of the rivers
and harbors has become an absolute
necessity for the handling of heavy
| freight.
THE second and most important
reason is that the people are coming
to understand that the navigable
waterways are the best freight regu-
lators in the world. National and
state legislation may assist in regu,
latiuc the freight traffic of the rail-
roads, but the waterway does ths
work without legislation. 1t is the
purpose of the congress to educate the
whole people along these lines, and
have no doubt that liberal appropri-
ations will be made by the next con-
gress for this work.
This will be i'll a large measure
assisted by the efforts of the con-
gress we have just attended. The last
session of this congress attracted but
little attention, either from the press
or the people. The congress this year
