THE PURCHASE OF ALASKA.

When William H. Seward, then Sec
retary of State, negotiated in 1867 the
purchase of Alaska from Russia at a
cost of $7,2O0,O0O all considered it a
gold brick, so to speak-al1 believed
it would be a source of expense, never
of revenue. But since its purchase it
has produced gold, silver, copper, tin,
marble, gypsum, coal, furs, salmon,
cod, halibut, herring, timber, ETC., to
the value of 324,500,O00! Its annual
products at present are worth about
$35, 100000, and as soon as the project
ed railway lines are completed its
copper and coal production will be
largely increased. It has, coal enough
to supply the demand. of the Pacific
countries.
The tax, on the seal rookeries alone
returned the cost of the entire district
with interest. The seals in the Pribi-
lof islands are fast disappearing.
Twenty years ago the catch was about
10O, 900 a year; it is now less than 49,
900. This valuable fur-bearing ami
mails will soon be lost altogether.
The enduring products of Alaska
promise to be coal and copper, while
some gold Will be mined Throughout
the present century. The present an
nual production of gold is about $40,
100000 a GEAR. AS railroads are bull
Alaska will gain permanent popula
ton. and fifty years hence it will de
mand admission to the Union, an6
perhaps by that time the intervening
territory will have become American
territory also.

character"

OF INTEREST TO ALL SOIL
TILLERS.

Naturally, the recent speech OF
James ]. Hill, in which he showed the
need which now exists for increasing
the productivity of the soil In this
country; pointed out the fact that our
tariff system, by making 1t posslD1e
for labor be better remunerated IN
factories than upon the farm and said
that we shall shortly be an importer
of grain instead of an exporter, is at
tracing general attention.
There has been no more pregnant
utterance regarding the material well
fare of this country made In years.
Mr.. Hill is a very able man and as
his railways draw their main revenue
from the carriage of farm products he
has made these products and the ter
ritory along his lines the subject OF
profound study. There is perhaps no
man in this country who is better
qualified than he to warn against the
loss contingent upon continuance OF
our errors and to point out how these
may best be avoided.
The average business man has not
much leisure to study conditions other
than those prevailing in the narrow
sphere to which his activities are con-
fined and therefore much which MT.
Hill, whose survey is of a wide held
said, probably is new to him. Surely
he must be startled by the prediction
that the stream of grain which we
have for many years been sendlne
abroad must soon cease unless WE
shall produce more largely than We
are now producing.
Serious indeed must be our p1gn'
when we shall no longer have oul
drafts upon the gold stock OF tnt
United Kingdom and Continent
drawn in payment for grain sh1ppet
foreigners, honored. Gold has beel
coming to this country in a stream 10
many, many years, in payment 10
wheat and corn, which Mr.. Hill pre-
dicted we shall shortly have to retail
for domestic consumption, unless W
shall increase our acreage largely o
increase the product from acres al
ready titled.
That we shall be able to secure
greater crop per acre, however, !
promised by the promoters OF com
pany which is said to be about
produce in quantity, through the EN-
ployment of a method devised by
German chemist, nitrogen in an en-
during form which may be used IN
stead of fertilizers now generally i
use and which are largely compose
of nitrate of soda. 1t is claimed tha
the new nitrogenous fertilizer may b
produced at a cost much lower tina
natural nitrate and the fertilization
an acre may be done for SO, while
now costs something like So.
The new product will proveSa boo
to the world should it be all that
claimed for it, which it must be &C
mitted has not yet been demonstrates
Upon the other hand, the nitroge
company is capitalized at 100000
and the statement made by the pro
moters, that they will invest 100000
of the sum procured through the sal
of securities in buying land which
now exhausted and which they clan
their product will restore to produ,
tivity, is assuring. It is stated th'
the nitrogenous fertilizer has bee
known to increase the productivity
worn-out land ten-fold.
If it shall add no more than 25 p
cent. to the productivity of our Ian
at comparatively small cost, 1t WI
prove to be a - great boon to Il
farmer. e.

of appeals declared the offics OF
mayor vacant and he was chosen to
I'LL the uneApTed term. The Louis

The contest was bitter. Grinstead

REDUCING NUMBER
OF TRUSTEES OF
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Following the adjournment OF the
school board last night. the trustees
devoted much time to a. discussion of
getting the cooperation of the other
second class cities in an effort to
have the school board reduced from
twelve to five members. Superin-
tendent Carnagey reported that at
the recent educational meeting in
Bowling Green he had talked with
school officials concerning the reduc-
ton. At present the educational
commission. which was appointed at
the last legislature to revise the
school laws. is at work on the school
laws for cities of the first class.
The work will be completed soon,
and the commission will begin re-
vision OF the laws for second class
cities. The committee promised to
notify the cities when the work will
begin. and 1t is possible that Coving-
ton. Newport and Paducah will send
delegations to appear before the COM
mittee. Last night a resolution was
read by Secretary Arch Sutherland.
and this was signed by the school
trustees. Signatures of former board
members will be secured, and sent to
the commission. So far Lexington
has not expressed any intention OF
fighting for the reduction, but Cow
ington and Newport are heartily in
favor of the smaller, school board.
