The Small Farmer in Alaska.

There are fully 10000 square miles
of Alaska suited for grazing or agri-
culture,-an area equal to three-quar-
tiers of the state of Ohio Make this
accessible and develop local markets
and the farmer will come,-if not from
the states, then from northern Europe,
region which has already furnished
many good citizens to Alaska. Finland
supports three million people and ex-
ports agricultural products. Yet the
Finnish colonist will find in Alaska a
better climate and soil than in his ma
tive land. Be it remembered, however,
that Alaska is far from an ideal farm
ing region. The growing season is
short and the winters long and severe.
1t will probably never furnish agricul
tural products except for local con-
sumption, but that such a market will
prove lucrative one is shown by
the success of the many small farms
and gardens already under cultivation.

The DINING Room of a Circus.

The discipline of an army reigns SUI
preme in circus life, and 1t is always
interesting to watch how the thousand
or more people of such an organiza-
ton are fed three meals a day without
a hitch, and as silently as in a big
hotel The grass serves as u carpet,
and the forty or more walters move
quietly in and out The kitchen tent
is completely equipped with pastry
ovens, warming tables, steam watts for
stewing, steam urns for coffee and tea,
boiling ovens, and numberless other
cooking utensils. The force of cooks
numbers sixteen, including the three
which tend the camp fire, at which
nothing but soup is prepared. The
ranges fold up and are carried in wa
CONS, and the tents are lighted with
electricity at night. 1t is not unusual
to serve as many as 5000 pancakes
for breakfast, and 600 loayes of bread
are used each day, in addition to crack
ers and biscuit. The meat consumed
pounds. Such provisions as celery,
young onions, Strawberries, radishes,
melons, etc., are bought in each town,
often cleaning out the entire market.

Old Paxannent Into Naw.

A new paving machine which uses
old pavements Of granite blocks, bricks
or cobblestone, as the foundation on
which to lay a surface of asphalt is
described with illustrations in the Au-
gust Popular Mechanics.
This is accomplished by heating the
old surface with large and contin-
uous blast of heated air from the ma
chine. Immediately over this heated
surface is applied coat of melted as
phalt or other bituminous cement. the
heated condition of the stone causing
perfect adhesion. No flame is permitted
to come in contact with the stone, so
that no part of it becomes overheated
and cracked. A final layer of asphalt
completes the undertaking, thus con-
verting the old, rough pavement into a
smooth and noiseless thoroughfare.
The same machine is used for resur-
facing or patching wornout asphalt
pavements.

PECULIAR FORMS OF BREAD.
Substitutes FOR Baked Loaves That
Are Common In Various Parts
Of Europe.

Baked loaves of bread are practical
ly unknown in many parts Of south
Austria and italy as we'll as the agri-
cultural districts of Roumania, says
the Bakers Weekly. In the villages
of the Obersteiermark, not very many
miles from Vienna, bread is seldom
seen, the staple food of the people be-
from ground beech nuts, which is
taken at breakfast with fresh or cur
died milk, at dinner with broth or
fried in lard. and with milk again at
supper. The sterz Is also known as
heiden, and takes the place of bread
thia and in many parts of the Tyrol.
In the north of Italy the peasantry
live chiefly on polenta, a porridge
made of boiled maize. The polenta.
however, is not allowed to granulate
like Scotch porridge, or like the Aus
pudding, which is cut up and por.
toned out with a string. 1t Is eaten
cold as often as it is hot, and is In
every sense the Italian peasants daily
bread. The modern Roumanians are
held by many scholars to be descend
ed from Roman colony, in other
words to be the cousins of the Ital-
ians, and curiously enough variation
of the polenta called mamaliga is the
national dish of Rumania.
The mamaliga is like the polenta
in that it is made of boiled maize, but
it is unlike the latter in one important
respect, as the grains are not allowed
to settle into a solid mass but are
kept distinct. after the fashion of oat.
meal porridge.

PASSING OF OLD LANDMARK

Richard Grabe, who has the contract for the new building. began tearing down the old house yesterday, and naturally the sight of it's raging brings regret to a number of people to whom the old building is dear through it's many asso- citations. The loss of old landmarks is the price that every city pays for progress, and even though one realizes that the demolishing of such relic is in the interests of Greater Globe, it does not lessen the sense of loss that is felt at the destruction of something around which municipal and perhaps family history is woven.

the early days, was built, according to the recollections of some of the pio- neors, by Dr. Thatcher, who, at one time, held wide reputation for skill in his profession. He had formerly been a surgeon in the United States navy. The date of the building is rather vague, as no record of Dr. Thatcher's ownership is found at the recorders office, but it is known to have been previous to 1879. Dr. Thatch- CT later conveyed the property to Charles A.. Fisk and it was owned by him when Joseph H. Hamill married and went to live there over twenty-one years ago. It was later bought by Mir.

WATER DEPARTMENT BEGINS WORK OF
 EXTENSION
MAIN TAPPED AT BROAD AND OAK sTREETs-oTHER WORK
 WHEN MATERIAL ARRIVES

The first new work of any conse- quenee to be done by the city water department on the plan of the exten sion and enlargement of the principal mains throughout the city, was com menced yesterday, at Broad and Oak streets.
 Tbe Broad street main was tapped and a connection made for the Oak street branch, which will be four-inch line. This line will run down Oak. to Pine and down Pine to Mesquite, when completed. There is pipe enough on hand at the present time to lay good part of the line.
 It is expected that the shipment of pipe which was ordered couple of weeks ago will be here by the middle of July. When this material arrives, about a mile and half of new mains will be installed in various parts of the city, together with about twenty new fire hydrants.
 The connection at Broad and Oak streets was made in good time yester- day, the water being shut off for only little over an hour. A new coupling sleeve which permits pipe connections to be made without threading was used to join the pipes. effecting great sav- ing of time with the resulting accom- modation to water users on Broad street.
