Yukon's Government

Dawson City, Yukon territory, is eel ebrating the tenth anniversary of the establishment of a territorial goveur- ment. Ever since the discovery of gold brought the great rush into the Klon- dike country, that district has had settled, orderly government, and for many years past has had it's own legis- Istive body, making laws for the gov ernment of the people of the terri tory
 This is in striking contrast with the manner in which the government Of the United States has treated Alaska. For more than twenty years after Alas ka was acquired by the United States it had no government of any kind. The only civil officers in the territory were collector of customs and his deputies. There was military post kept there for while, and after the soldiers were withdrawn gunboat was generally kept in Alaska waters. There were no laws, save the federal statutes covering offenses against the federal govern ment. There was no machinery for the collection of debts; no courts for the punishment of ordinary crimes and misdemeanors or for the trial of civil cases or settlement of estates; no mar shals, or indeed any legislative, execu- tive or judicial machinery of any kind until long after a considerable white population had settled in the district.
 After while courts were provided and governor and other executive of- hcers, but DO legislative machinery has yet been devised for population con- siderably larger than that which was considered necessary to entitle terri ritory to admission into the Union in the early days of the republic.
 The relatively small and thinly pop ulated Canadian territory of the Yukon has had full territorial government for many years; the immense American district of Alaska, with population many times as large, is still without even pretense of self government; and the desires of it's people, as expressed through their elected delegates to con- gross, are ignored when opposed by the appointed goveruor.-P.-L

Big Crop of Cabbage

Nome.-Away on the Krusgamepa river, under the Sawtooth foothills, in the Kougarok district, where the knife edged biting winter wind howls up the valley, and the thermometer, fro. zen solid for many months of the year, fails ito register, is the "Garden of Eden" of the Seward peninsula. From there Nome and the adjoining camps expect to get steady supply of Vege- table market produce.
 Mike Farrell, one of the old Kouga- rok pioneers, first located this spot. During one of his prospecting trips he discovered this district and was agree. ably surprised to find numberIof hot springs in the vicinity.
 Farrell decided to take up section of land there, and now a company is engaged in raising large and juicy vege- tables, which command a high price anywhere in Alaska.
 A. M. Roberts is head gardener. In recent visit to Nome he announced his intention of keeping the market regu- larly supplied with fresh vegetables.
 A few days ago several prominent business men left forI the Krusgameps hot springs, and returned with remarkf able stories of the fertility of the soil around the springs. They state that Farmer Roberts has many acres Of land under cultivation. Several photo graphs were taken, one of which shows 10000 head of cabbage, equal to any raised in California or Washington. The warmth of the springs keeps the snow away during the winter aud fruit trees planted last year are thriving we'll.
 The company intends to build light railroad from the springs to the Seward peninsula line, near Lanes landing, distance of six miles, for the convent ence of those who desire to spend their vacation at the springs and the trans porting of vegetable to the Nome market-P..l.
