ELECTRIC JUICE
 NIGHT AND DAY
Local Company To Give Twenty four Hour Service with New
 Dynamo Power,

Beginning last Wednesday Seward was given a 2i-hour electric light and power service, an advantage which no other town in Alaska has heretofore enjoyed. in the summer time at least. The Seward Light & Power Company now has it's new Bullock dynamo, with a capacity of 5000 l6-candle power lights, in operation and is able to SUD- ply a demand for light and power far beyond the present requirements of Seward
 The new dynamo is of the latest de- vice and runs with marvellous smooth ness. So perfectly is it adjusted that when the water from the Pelton wheel which runs it by water power is turned of the big wheel and shafting of the dynamo continue to revolve seven minutes from the force of their own velocity. A new switchboard is eX- pected on the Oregon and when that is put in the company will be equipped to utilize the full quantity of power generated by the dynamo. At present it is using the old switchboard, which is somewhat limited.

ALASKA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
Alfred n. Brooks Tells of Govern,
 ment Work in Progress

Alfred II. Brooks. chief of the fed- araI geological survey of Alaska, in a receu, number of Popular Science Monthly mad am article describing the progress of the survey, in which he said:
 A decade ago the United States geo. IogicaI survey began it's work in Alas ka by sending a party of only three men to the territory, whereas in the past summer twelve parties, with an aggregate membership of 50 odd men, were lthere engaged in geologic sur geys. Even this rapid expansion Is hardly commensurate with the size of ,he territory and the importance of he mineral resources, the develop ment of which the geologic investiga- 'ions aim co aid.
 A geologic survey has two objects; first, the increase of scientific know .edge. and second. the application of his knowledge to the mining industry. The purely scientific investigations include many subdivisions and ramii- cations that cannot here be considered but it will be evident, even Co the lay man. that. while any part of the
 arth's surface remains geologically 1nmapped. there will be hiatus in our knowledge, which may prevent broad generaIjzations.
 In Alaska special attention has been given to the second field of activity, namely. the application of geology 10 ,he needs of the miner. This js iu part the influence of the growth of economic work in both state and fed eraI surveys during the last decade out more specially because the appro- uriation is specifically made for the investigation of the mineral resources of Alaska. With this end in view, 30 score of publications dealing with the occurrence and distribution of the mineral deposits of the territory have been issued It has been the policy to make public the results attained while vet the investigation iS in progress, in the belief that even an incomplete Knowledge of the geology would be of value Go the miner. With this end in view bulletin, treating of the occur renee of coal, petroleum, tin and cop- per have been issued a, well a, many which are devoted Co the gold dopo~- t,. These preliminary reports have found aru. with rhe mining public because O. .u.u me.y appearance, and have Dor.-'..gH criticism O. do- .ay in issuing ,u. more elaborate .w.ug.,e~.

CUSHMAN STlRS UP
 RELIGIOUS ATTACK
Quotes from Scripture in Tariff Speech and Newspapers
 Charge IrreverenCe
By Cable to The Dailv Gateway.

Washington, D. C., May u-COn- gressman Cushman of Washington has called down upon his head an attack from various quarters by a scriptural quotation which has led to the charge of irreverence. In replying to Williams of Mississippi in a speech on the tariff question Cushman said that the argu- ments offered were exactly the same as the tariff reformers had presented year after year regardless of the march of events. Then he told a story of clearinghouse hash which described the composition of that dish in the language of Hebrews XIII, verse s:
 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever"
 The Baltimore American in com menting upon this utterance says No orator of the first class ever finds it necessary to ridicule religion or to treat scripture with irreverence. Such application of the scriptures shows poverty of intellect"

TAKE FARMING
 LAND AT KNIK
About Twenty HOmeSteaderS Have Settled Near Head of Arm
 in Past Few Months.

The region around Knik Arm is be- coming a farming country, according to George w. Palmer, the pioneer post trader and merchant at the head of navigation on the north side of the Arm. Since last summer about twenty homesteaders have located near Knik, most of them on the north side of the Arm and in the lower Matanuska valley.
 A majority of these homeSteaders are from the states, although several are Finlanders. They have built cabins and are preparing to open farms for cultivation this season. Nearly all of them have families and act as if they had gone in to stay. Several have told Mr. Palmer that they intend to engage in stockraising. They have come in advance of the railroad in order to get their pick of the land, and all appear to be well satisfied.
 NIr. Palmer is a firm believer in the agricultural possibilities of Central Alaska. He has lived at Knik for many years and does a little farming himself on small scale. When asked what cun be grown successfully around Knik he answered:
 "Everything you put in the ground. y 
 At KniS for years all the hardy veg etables have been grown with aston ishing success. Potatoes and other root crops, cabbage, beans and peas, all thrive marvelously, growing to great size and possessing the finest flavor. Mr. Palmer insists that small grains will ripen on the north side of the Inlet, although nobody has made a business of it yet.
 To support his belief Mir Palmer cites the fact that near his store at Knik volunteer oats have been grow ing year after year since Capt. Glenn was there in 1898. The party piled up a large number of sacks of oats near Palmer's store and the scattered grains sprouted and grew a volunteer crop which ripened. Each year since another volunteer crop has ripened and volunteer oats are scattered over the neighboring area.
 The soil of the region around knik is a sandy loam and exceedingly rich, as demonstrated by the prolific growth of vegetation. The same soil extends far up the Susitna valley and into the Yentna. All through those valleys, Mir. Palmer aflirmS, agriculture will soon flourish on a large scale. Large areas of open land, like the prairies of the middle west, alternate with belts of timber, making it an ideal region for farming.
 James J. Hill advocates free trade between the United States and Canada.

NELSON AND HERRERA
 HAVE WORD BATTLE
Light Weight Pugilists Nearly Scrap in Bathhouse Over

By Cable to The Daily Gateway.
 Oakland. May II This evening Battling Nelson and Aurelio Herrera will fight twenty rounds here for a purse of S2O,OOO. They will weigh in at l33 pounds. Last night the little pugs met in bathhouse and came near pulling of an impromptu fight in a row over details of the approaching match.
 There is a good deal of bad blood over the match as the men are old rivals but the particular grievance that led to the trouble last night is a dispute over a proposition to set aside SlO.OOO as expense money to be divided between rh. two. The contest is awakening great interest among the sport, aud will draw 80 tremendous crowd. Betting favors Nelson but Herrera i, admitted to be a dangerous man.
