If to act cleyerly on the spot is the
measure Of tact then the man who
figures in the subjoined New York
Tribune story deserves both respect
and admiration: \ woman, driving
through New England last summer.
noticed suddenly that her horse linn d
a bit. so when she reached the neTt
village she stopped at the door Of the
blacksmith shop. \ man was holding
up the dOorDost. and To him she said:
"Will you please tell the blacksmith
to come out? I want to see him."
After the manner Of the village
ldlcr, the man did not stir, but smiled
swcetly at TIE woman and, lifting nj
his voice. called:
"Fil. como out. There's a lady
wants To- SEQ y0u."
From the depths Of the blacksmith
shop dc"pcr voice roared:

I'm the words of the old poem, "she
looked M John and John looked at
her" Then. still without moving, he
answered.:

they drew the pl0W along the three
horses he'd their noses close tOgeth-

which hc fastened with straps to the
bits Of the out de horses. The device

Many persons are like the middle
horse-they do not get their rightful
share Of pure air. And this is why
they are not able to perform as much
work nor Of as good quality as they

Farming in Alaska

Mir. c. c. Georgeson, the special agent of the agricultural department, who for many years past has had charge or experimental stations in different parts of Alaska, makes the broad statement in his annual report this year that Alaska is an agricultural country. Good hay can be produced in any quan- tity needed, the native grasses furnish excellent and abundant pasture during the summer months, and all of the hardy vegetables can be grown to per- lection up to and even within the Arctic circle.
 Given adequate transportation serv- ice, and Alaska could, in MT. George sons opinion, support large and per manent population on agriculture alone. But'the future of Alaska does not depend entirely upon the develop ment of its agricultural possibilities. On the contrary, the development of AIaska's other resources is bound in time to force agriculture into greater prominence.
 With the fact proved that Alaska has large possibilities iu the way of pro- dueing agricultural crops, comes the other important fact that the Alaska farmer has right at home a permanent market at the highest prices paid any, wheYe in this country for everything that he produces. The man who has large and productive market garden in the immediate vicinity of any of the great mining camps does not need to envy the man who has productive placer mine. He stands in the same class, financially, and he has less laborious pursuit to follow.
 Alaska is never likely to enter into any serious competition with other DOT tions of the Pacific coast in the mar kets of the world. But Alaska can, and in time will, come close to the point of being self-sastaining in the matter of agricultural products. The territory year by year will become less depend ent upon the outside for vegetables and hay, although it. is likely that thp territory will continue to import it's breadstuffs.-P.-I.

Dawson.-Tom Wilson, of Victoria gulch, has lost his cabin and several hundred dollars iu cash by fire. Tom was working on his claim when he mo- ticed the place was afire. He made a rush to the house. When he arrived there the flames were so far advanced that he could not hope to stop them. He recalled that he had left several hundred dollars in his bed, and was about to rush in to get it when it oc- cured to him that there was lot of dynamite on the premises. He was afraid to enter for fear of the dynamite and waited outside for a long time watching the house burn. After a time he took courage and ran ip and grabbed the bedding containing the money. On the way out the money fell on the floor. He again was afraid to go back, and | this time remained at a distance until Jthe fire had consumed the building and with it the money. He also lost a quantity of good clothing, number of family photographs and large quan- tity of silver plate and other such ma terial left him by his parents. The loss, including the value of the house, it's contents and cash is about S1,5OO. The pictures and other family relics, however, he valued at much more,

Cordova, July 2&-Paul Haines Lane, son of c. D. Lane, prominent Cali fornia mining man, and Si Hayes, we'll known miner, are believed to have been drowned in the Susitna river, ac- cording to report received from Port Graham today. The two men started from Seward for Valdez creek several weeks ago. The last seen of them was a month ago when they were twenty five miles from their destination and were short of food. Men returning down the Susitna river report the find- ing of a wrecked raft having on it clothing belonging to the two men.
