FARMING IN ALSAKA.

Back to Washington this week from
Alaska, came Prof. C. G. Georjeson,
of Agriculture at the three experiment
farms now being run by the government
far up tow ard the Arctic Circle. He
says the work is progressing finely
at all three of the stations. There is
a ready market for everything that can
be raised and all of the stations would
be paying for themselves if they were
PR vate farms instead of government
plants. At one of the stations there
is a herd of Galloway cattle, selected
because they are hardy and used to a
cold climate. They have to be stabbed
SIX months of the year, but they are
fed exclusively on the fodder raised
at the station, and they pay well In
the milk and cheees they produce
There is a ready market for cheese
and butter, the latter being only 80
cents a pound, and considering it has
been 40 in Washington this winter,
that seems to be a pretty good adver-
tisement for Alaska on the score of
living expenses. The stations where
experiments are being made with grains
are also giving good results. 1t is
hard to get cereal that will mature
in 80 days, which is the limit of the
safe season, but course of system
attic selection is being followed with
the earliest maturing grains, and no
fear is felt but that even wheat crops
can be raised successfully in Alaska.
Another Alaska wanderer who drift
ed into Washington in the past week
was Eli Smith, the mail carrier on
the route from Nome to Point Barrow,
the most northerly mail route in the
world. He drove team of dogs and
wolves clear to the White House,
where he delivered a letter to the
President. Both man and dogs were
in good condition when they arrived.
The trip was made on bet, and
consumed fifteen months, but the mail
carrier finished three months inside
his time limit. The dog and wolf
team is a remarkable one. there being
little to distinguish the dogs from
the wolves. But they are all gentle
and seem not only remarkably intelli-
gent and obedient, but genuinely
fond of their eccentric old master.
The senior wolf in the team is ten
years old, and Smith says he has had
him since puppy.

WiSCOnSin'S Fame.

The fame of Wise onsin as a dairy
section has even extended to the Or
lent and it only remains to get into
communication with Mars when the
fame 70 Badger cattle will be known
there. This city was visited yes
terday by couple of Japanese who
visit this country and this particular
section of the same to get some of
our celebrated Holsteln cattle. Soon
after arriving in the city yesterday
morning the visitors from the distant
land left for the cattle farm of Mr..
Jones in the vicinity of Hustisford
to make purchases of some of the
select stock from that we'll known
place. Later they will visit the
Hoard dairy farm at Fort Atkinson.
One of the visitors attended the state
university and speaks the English
language fiuently.

thing that has held up all of these
big supply bills has been the peanut
politics vf some of the more grasping
members who wanted to trade opposi-
tiUn for patronage and make records
for campaign purposes. This way of
working the record business was vrey
well exemplified in the Salary grab of
the present session. Of course all
the members Of the House, or most of
them wanted it, and the motion to
increase salaries was voted down
when it first came up on division.
The House hoped that the Senate would
pass the salary bill, but it did not and
when the appropriation bill came back
to conference, the House Conference
stuck back the salary increase provis-
ION and passed 1T on the floor without
a division. So they got their raise
and were all on record against 1t. The
way this record will be used IN the
campaign was indicated at banquet
in Washington last week when ono of
the very members who had been most
anxious for the increase remarked in
the course of an after dinner speech,
that he at least was on record as hav-
ing voted against any increase of sal
aries to congressman. And the funny
part of it was that this statement was
taken seriously and nobody laughed.

OUT OF THE RACE
Fort Atkinson Man Says Moth
ing Could Tempt Him to
Be a Candidate

Fort Atkinson, Wis, March A
Especially. ON account of his age and
business interests former Gov. Hoard
of this city says that he would under
no circumstances be a candidate for
the United States senate to succeed
senator SDooner. He has retired com.
,pletely from the political arena he
says, and intends hereafter to confine
his attention solely to his publishing
businessa and dairy farm and to spend
the remainder of his days in peace
and quletude.
He has formed no opinion as to the
choice of successor to Spooner He
thinks the retirment of Senator Spoon
er leaves vacancy in the senate that
can not easily be filled.
The former governor says that
Spooner was perhaps the greatest
statesman outside of La Toilette that
Wisconsin ever produced.

SPOONER'S RESIGNATION.


The resignation of John c Spooner.
Wisconsin, senior senator, came like
thunderbolt from clear sky. How
ever, the motive that evidently prompt
ed the move that has stirred the
nation, does not denote clear sky in
the political horizon, but rather hazy
atmosphere that can only be cleared
away by the shining face of some
statesman to the seat SO ably filled by
John O. Spooner for the past sixteen
years.
But who could it be? Aye, there's
the rub! The Leader predicts that
the3parting of Mr.. Spooner from the
senate means a backward step for Wis
consin in the good graces and influence
of the nation, for OF all who have been
mentioned as probable successors, not
one In minute degree could be com
pared to the brilliant senator who
gives out empharicalIy that he will
step down and out on May 1st.
The resignation of John c. Spooner
should be deplored by every man in
Wisconsin and if it is not today, it
will be ere many months have rolled
by. There are those who will argue
that no mau is so important
that his place cannot be filled. This
may be true, but the writer knows
there must necessarily be a political
revolution in the body polite of
Badgerdom before the lime light of
appreciation and Justice to cause Is
thrown upon that individual and he
is elevated to the political throne
which Mr.. Spooner abandons.
The name of Isaac Stephenson of
Marinette, has been mentioned as a
successor to fill the unexpired term
of Mr.. Spencer. 1t The Leader does
not miss it's guess, "Uncle ike
will be the choice. But why should
he be? If any person can answer
this question, it would be information
the writer would cheerfully accept.
What qualifications has the Marine tie
man got to entitIe him to seat in
the senate? Not one, unless it is the
i'll begotten influence of his barrie of
money.
0, that we were now privileged to
elect successor to Mr.. Spooner by
popular vote, that the people of the
state could voice their wishes to see a
man of brains and legitimate influence
sent to the senate to partially, at
least, fill the place so capably filled
by John c.. Spooner. Then there is
talk of Governor Davidson, William
H. HaIten, Walter Houser and Sen
ator Munson. But such talk is silly
twaddle to those who have watched
the brilliant career of Mr.. Spooner
and realize how a new political star
would be like one of the milky wave
in the senatorial gaze of publicity.
There are a few men in WiscOn-
sin who would do honor to the sena
torial toga, but they have been rel
egated by the domineering. AS we
said, there are men of brains who
would shortly develop craftsmanship.
They are founo in different parties and
factions of parties, but their names
have been silenced SO far since the
announcement of the resignation of
Mr.. Spooner, and so they are liable
to remain.
