Describes Encouraging Results at Kenai, Fairbanks, Copper
 River and Rampant.
By cahle to rho pally aatoway.

Washington, D. C., Jan lO-Thc az ricutwal department reports that eX- periments have shown that the soil and climate of Alaska are well adapted to the cultivation of grains and grasses. Excellent results have been attained at Fairbanks. Hardy fruit trees, shrubs and vegetables have grown well at the Copper river station, but the maturity of grains there has been hindered by early froSts and lack of rain. Rampant has made slow pro- gress because the station has no resi- dent superintendent, but has display ed good results in raising hardy yege- tables.
 The Kenai station has devoted its efforts largely to raising live stock and provender. Excellent grasses are grown there and the stock have thriv- ed remarkably.
 The department asks for largerap- propriation and promises if it is given to extend the work of the experiment stations.

New Artists Arriye-

The new company of vaudeville ar
lists of the Great Western Sullivan
Considine circuit, who, Mr.. Cooper,
of the Klinger Grand, was fortunate
enough to secure, arrived last even
! ing, and will be heard this week at
the little theatre on State street. The
fact that they belong to the Sullivan
Considine circuit is a sufficient guar
antee that every act will be first-class
and those who attend the shows az
the Klinger Grand this week will
probably be entertained by the best
vaudeville acts that have ever been
seen In the house. Mr.. Cooper has
been compelled In the past TO rely
on his own efforts in securing the
talent that appeared in the theatre,
and many times found II impossible
to engage performers. BY an agres-
ment made recently with the Suili-
van circuit the acts will be furnished
directly by this well-known and re-
liable company. This means that Sa-
lem will hear the same artists who
appear in the best vaudeville houses
in the West, as the circuit accepts
none but hlgh-grade performers.
Among the actors who arrived last
evening were THE Goulds," a come
dy sketch team; "odar," the mys-
terious, and La Petite Ruth" a
dancing speciality act.
