EXPERT SEES GREAT
FUTURE FOR ALASKA
IN THE FARMING LINE.

There are many thousands of miles
of good tillage land in the valleys Of
the southern coast Of Alaska, to say
nothing of the great interior, accord
ing to Levi Chubbuck, special agent
for the department of agriculture,
who has just returned from the
ncrthland.
Mr. Chubbuek spent the entire
summer making a general reconnois-
sance of agricultural lands that may
be surveyed for homesteading by the
general land office. The chief areas
examined were the Sushitna basin
north Of Seward, the Copper river
and the Tanana valleys. Concern
ing agricultural progress and possi-
bilities in Alaska he makes state
ments that may be considered most
conservative, but that will be amazing
to the great majority of those "out-
side'.
The most obvious fact concern
ing nearly all the valleys of this area
/ have seen-from tidewater north
ward 150 miles-is that they are
natural grazing lands. There are
certainly thousands of square miles
of very high quality of wild grass,
the nutritive value of which for stock
seems well established. The grass
often stands six and seven feet high
and is of the most luxuriant growth
also it can be cured and is of good
keeping quality.
A Great Dairying Country.
Nearly all of this land except
some side hill areas has more or less
standing and fallen timber on it, but
much is Immediately available fol
grazing. With adequate winter pro
lection stock thrives, and the market
with the development of roads would
seem assured. AT. present every
pound of meat consumed must come
from Seattle, and meat is first i'm
portance in the dietary of so cold +
country also it costs the consumer
/ 81 a pound. All dairy products, toe
are brought in by steamer at higt
cost, and this is certainly a dairyinl
country.
"There need be no speculation a!
to some present possibilities Farm
ing has Just begun in few localities
in this region, and local conditions
are most varied, but oats and barley
are being successfully grown, timothy
flourishes. and the root crop is Of
high excellence.

Judge ShackelfOrd declared ~ was such

Night Marshal Arthur Goegelin was
shot five times following a quarrel
Mum admitted on the witness stand
that he did the shooting. and also that
the last shot was fired as GOegelin lay
dying upon the ground.
Mum was tried here, having secured
a change OF venue on the ground OF

arises. Threats Of lynching have been

The railroad commission OF Iowa
adopted remedy of the situation in
too high. Instead Of going al the thing
backwards. the commission struck
right at the root OF the evil and made
the railroads reduce their tariffs on
. coal
The situation in Utah is not the same
as is found in Iowa. for in this state
the railroads control the coal produc-
ms companies, and IL is likely that II
the railroads were ordered to reduce
the freight per ton on coal they could
afford to do so II still permitted to
charge the same rate to the consumer.
The margin Of profit would merely
be pruned, but not seriously impaired
On the other hand. il there were an
existing power in Utah to compel the
railroads to reduce the freight rates
1t Is not unlikely that the producing
company would either shoot uD the
price at the mine and take il from the
retailers or compel the retailers to give
back a part OF their profits-either OF
which is within the power Of the trust
Know of No Trust.
Retailers in Salt Lake who are mem
bers, either voluntarily or involuntar-
lily. Of the coal combine. expressed deep
surprise when they received from the
secretary or state letter warning
them to get out Of the cont ine or run
a chance OF having their companies dis
solved by court order.
The funny part Of their surprise was
that they knew Of no trust and some
effect. The willing retailers who are
a part Of the conspiracy to rob the peo-
pie have acquiesced in every Illicit or
der Of the railroads and the consumers.
The unwilling members Of the COM
bine continue to play their parts be-
cause ~ Is fatal to disobey and because
too the money Is so easy it's a shame
to turn IL down.
VIII he on Defensive.
Already IL is apparent that the mem
bers OF the combine. the railroads the
producers and retailers. will appear on
the defensive and force the state to
make the attack through the regular
legal channels To all intents and
purposes they will not make answer
according TO n credible report vester-
day. and al the end Of the thirty davs
stipulated in the secretary Of states
warning the state will have to make
the first move.
There is a tacit understanding he
tween the railroads, producers and dis
tributors that the attorneys for the
Utah Fuel and the Rio Grande Railroad
companies will direct the defense Some
OF the retailers are wondering II they
will have 10 pay a share OF the cost OF
attorney fees. They realize that they
are in a position where they will have
to come across IL the producers and
carriers take IL into their heads to hand
down the edict.
