DESERT VANISHING
Under IRRIGATION

A quarter of q centur ago any men
ton of the great American desert
called up visions of a region of limit
less extent, sun-baked, parched and
dessolate. A country associated al
ways with tales of suffering and death,
of u%nfriendly savages, and deadly
deptiles, for years it was passed over
by as worthless. The marvel
GUS transformation which has been
wrought in two decades in this land
of silence and sunshine furnishes one
of the most interesting and inspiring
pages in the annals of our republic 8
development. The great American
desert is vanishing from the map. Its
boundaries have shrunken and it no
longer presents a formidable barrier
to the growth and progress of the
far west, Twelve million acres of this
~rainless country have been subdued
by means of agriculture and irriga-
tion and are producing bountiful and
assured harvests every year. A
quarter of a million families are re
siding on farms and as many more
have found homes and occupations in
the cities, towns and villages which
have sprung up in the midst of the
agricultural areas, Great dams have
been constructed to impound the floods
and through 10000 miles of canals and
bitches the life-giving water has been
turned upon the dusty desert. The
streams have been harnessed for pow
err and an era of manufacturing is
dawning in which all of the raw pro-
ducts of the farm, the forests and the
mines will be prepared for the mar
kets of the world. The comforts and
.luxnries heretofore unknown in ag-
~ricultural regions already are obtain
able in many of the western valleys.
The farmer lights and heats his home
with electricity and his heavy work
is done cheaply by the same potent
force. Trolley lines bring the farm
and town close together. In a ma
iority of the irrigated districts the
farms are small-not more than forty
acres each. With sixteen to sixty
farm families to the square mile, iso-
Ilation is eliminated and life in the
country becomes more nearly urban
than rural. While pioneering in this
new country calls for a good deal of
grit and not a little hard work the
compensation is sure and abundant.

Carving out a home in the desert. is no
child's plsy, it is a mans work, but
there are few places where nature re-
spends more quickly to intelligent in
dustry than the irrigated country.
On the government projects the
past year has been a conspicuously
prosperous one. The success of the
average farmer in many instances has
been remarkable. On several of the
projects the crops on individual arms
this year have yielded enough to en-
able the owners to repay to the gov
eminent every dollar of their obliga-
tions if they were so inclined. AS the
payments to the government extend
over a period of ten years without in
terest there is no object in meeting
the same in advance and most of the
farmers therefore are devoting their
revenues to improving their homes and
in purchasing livestock aud nipple;
ments. One Of the NEST interesting
features of the u%pbuilding of these
new communities is the large number
of settlers who have come from the
cities and towns. Their success is all
the more notable because they had lit
tie or no previous experience in farm
ing, especially farming by irrigation.
these circumstances the call of
the open country is likely to appeal to
others who have grown tired of the
stress and fume of city life and the
never-ending struggle to make income
and outgo balance.

CHICKEN, |D|TAR0D
 HAS PAY

A new strike has been made in the lditarOd on Chicken creek
 Last week Duncan Michie receiv- a wire from Alex Cameron stating that he had located pay running 20 cents to the pan, working on the rim, and urging Michie to join him in the new camp at once. Michie left ac- cordingly on the Panama last Wed nesday.
 Duncan Michie grubstaked Gamer on for the lditarod last year, and went to the new camp himself this spring. Not finding pay he returned to Fairbanks. leaving Cameron to continue prospecting with the above result
 No holes have as yet been sunk 10 bedrock on Chicken creek, owing to water, but when the freeZup comes holes will be sunk to bedrock
 This is the first pay to be found on Chicken. only colors having been obtained hitherto.

IMPORTANT TO PROSPECTORS

Prospectors and others interested in mining locations should bear in mind that unless their locations are filed for record within ninety days from the date of location the filing is useless
 This notice may appear superhu- ous to those who understand the law on the point, but that it is neces- sary is proved hy the fact that To- cation made in February, 1909, has been filed for record. The record in this case is yalueless. as the ground may have been restaked since then several times Ninety days only is the limit allowed by law during which To- cations can be filed to be of any value,

SUPPORT THE DELEGATE

Delegate Wickersham was sore disappointment 10 his supporters on Tuesday last.
 Coming back from a successful campaign. which he had won against great odds. it was natural that he should he elated; but il was not thought he would go to such lengths in dcnunciation of his enemies.
 Undoubtedly the opponents of Wickersham were deserving of cen sure for the wanton manner in which they misled the public and assailed the character and record of the dele gate while he was not here to defend himself; but il would have been wiser on the part of Mir. Wickersham 10 have refrained from abusing them in return.
 But the incident is over. and may as well be forgotten Bearing malice can only work harm. from whatever side it comes. and what We want Is unity
 Apart from the personalities indulg- ed in. Delegate Wickersham's speech was worth noting.
 He has promised his constituents to work whole-heartedly for the ad- yancement of the interests of Alaska and the Alaskans; he has promised to work with the administration in Alaskan legislation, so far as the same is not absolutely antagonistic to the interests of the people; he has promised to support railroad legislation, with proper safeguards; {; and he has promised 10 fight against any measure like the Beyeridge bill with all his strength.
 That is good. So long as Delegate Wickersham fulfils these promises he is entitled to the support of every body in Alaska, including his former opponents He shall certainly have the support of the Alaska Citizen.

ADVERTISING RESOURCES

A proposal is on foot to have a permanent exhibition of Alaskan pro- ducts in Seattle.
 Mir. Joslin, who is the leader in the local movement, believes that first class permanent exhibit on the Out side would be of great value to the territory. He advises that an exhib- it of quartz be sent and also sam pies of our agricultural products.
 MT. Joslin is confident that some good quartz samples would be the means of inducing a great number of outside quartz men to take an in terest in this country.
 Many in the States are still doubt full about our immense resources, and it needs an ocular demonstration to convince them that their scepti- cism is unwarranted.

lNDISCRIM INNATE CHARITY.

The people of the Panama Valley are not lightly taxed, but they pay their assessments without complaint.
 There is one form of taxation. however. which presses with excep- tional severity upon all who are charitably inclined And that is the charity tax
 This tax has become a serious drain upon the resources of many kind hearted townspeOple, who feel that they cannot refuse the call of char ity, but who. at the same time, are not too well supplied themselves with this worlds goods
 It is time that something was done to remedy this evil of indiscriminate charity for evil it undoubtedly is No man should be called upon to as sist directly a person in whom he is not interested and sometimes does not even know.
 In many communities in the United States the same evil has had to be faced.
 The method adopted, as a rule, is to organize a benevolent fund to which all business men and citi- zens could contribute according to their means. This fund could be man. aged by a committee, which would have power to investigate where they thought the special circumstances of the case warranted.
 At present genuinely deserving or unfortunate person is subjected to all the odium which follows a house to house canvas for help frequently against his expressed will, or without his consent. With com mittee of trusted toWnsmen manag- ing a benevolent fund, this added hardship to affliction would disap- pear, and the people would be saved from malingerers who live upon the charitably disposed.
 We are led to make these remarks after hearing of woman who boast ed that she had collected $3,0O0 in the Panama Valley, by a personal canvas and parade of her affiiction.
 We think that the public would be not only justified but well-advised in starting an institution for the needy such as we have suggested

from the fact that most of the wood pulp for that product is i'm ported from Canada to the United States. In fact. some ot the large manufacturing concerns are talking of moving their plants into Canada so as to be closer to the source Of supply and cheapen the cost Of manufacture

The time would seem to he ripe for the organization of some sort of Thought Exchange where ways and means could he devised to pro mote the development of and work ing of the numerous quartz proper ties in the Panama Valley. A joining of forces. both financial and moral

WINTER ROUTE ID
 THE COAST

The usual winter mail service over the NaldeZ-Fairbanks trail will com mence during the first week in October
 As the contract has not yet expir- ed the service will be in the hands of the Ed s. Orr stage line. Mir. Mar tin vii be manager
 In August last Ed s. Orr went to Cordova and paid a flying visit to the rail head Interviewed on his return to Cordova he stated that his visit was connected with the proposal to make CordOva, instead of Valdez. the starting point for the interior mails. In that case a branch trail would have to be built from the main trail to the head of the railroad. Mir Orr said that if the trail were built he was after the business from Cordova.
 The proposed new route would mean a saving from Seattle of 30 hours. allowing for favorable condi- tiOns
 The opponents of the Cordova route say that the Copper River rail road could not keep the line clear throughout last winter. Therefore if would be a dangerous experiment to make the change. as the mails would be held up indefinitely in case of stormy weather in the Copper river valley. But this same objection ap- plies to Thompson's pass route. Last winter. in January or February, the stages were stalled at the pass for over two weeks.

BLIND PIGS TO GO

Chief Conway has received instruc- tions from the City Council to stop the illicit sale of intoxicating li- quor on the Row. Accordingly the Chief has ordered the denizens of the redlight district to abstain from the illegal traffic in future
 The council has also caused the women to be informed that in future they will not be subjected to fines.
 The order was probably issued in fulfilment of the prediction pledges of the councillors, wherein they promised to put an end to the system of laying tribute on fallen wo- men.

FOOD FOR THE kNOCkER,

On Flat creek is registered the first cleanup to which the "Guggs' lay claim on the Wildcat lay. It weighed up in the neighborhood of $7000, and represented about $1,200 day or $100 to the shovel for a six days run. It is expected that the remainder of their cut will beat this average. If so, they will take out somewhere near $40,000 out of the little cut they have opened this sum- mer.

OUR SPRUCE.

It is just beginning to be realized that the Alaskan forests which are practically worthless for commercial lumber are great assets for their value in good pulp.
 At the present time the price of paper has been advanced sharply
