Farming in Alaska

Since the Department Of Agri-
culture first took up the question
Of farming in Alaska there has
been a great deal of interest
manifested in that subject, and
it mast be confessed, some ssep.
ticism. However, the Depart
ment is how in position to give
out some definite information
regarding this subject in the An
nual Report Of the Alaska Agri.

1909, which is fer sale by the
Superintendent of Bacamen8,

colonist fares from the starting point

The agreement further provides
that excursion, round-trip or one-way

shall not be used or recognized in
establishing fares for transportation
on government requests. Tariffs
showing such reduced fares are to
be supplemented or reissued so as to
make them applicable only where
cash is paid on delivery for tickets.
This is supposed to be on account of
long delays in getting settlements

ons including red tape, whereas the
public has to pay for tickets on de-

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 15.-Pending
the adoption of constitutional
amendment increasing the Supreme
Court bench to five members, the sen
ate judiciary committee has framed
up clever plan to give that tribunal
the benefit Of additional Membership
through statutory enactment.
The plan, briefly stated, is to author.
ize the Governor to appoint two SUI
preme Court commissioners, who will
sit with three duly constituted men,
bers of the bench during the hearing
OF all cases, and who will have au-
fhority to examine records, briefs,
ETC., and prepare opinions.
The two commissioners, howeve.
will have no voice or vote in reach
ing decisions. They are to act prin-
cipally in an advisory capacity, per-
forming practically all of the work of
a Supreme Court justice, except the
rendition of opinions, and are to 81,
ceive the same salary and possess the
same qualifications as regular incumb-
ents Of the bench.
The matter has been discussed at
some length by members of the senate
judiciary committee, having been
brought before the body by Chairman
Anderson. Instructions were given
to Senator Mcdonald to frame a bill
in accordance with the suggestions Of
fered, and it will pass the senate u;

builders of the great $1OOO,OOO canti-
lever bridge of the Copper River rail-
road, that will span Copper river di-

ice.
Three feet of water is flowing over
the ice and the ice may be swept out
any day and with 1t the false work.
If the bridge is not completed before
the false work Is swept to sea the loss
in extra labor involved will be $1,000
beside the delay to operation of the
