F.. Carroll and Gus Weinburg are re-
sponsible for many of the new, novel
surprises and exclusive features with
which THE Alaskan" fairly bristles.
and in the part Of Walsingham Watts,
stranded theatrical manager, Car

peculiar talent. Gus Weinburg as

found physically perfect, and an ef-

station is to be established by the
people of the Coquille valley for the
purpose of finding what crops can
be most proftably grown in the To-
cality. Many varieties of vegetables
and garden truck will be planted The
plan is to carry on the experiments
for term of years and it is believed
that the result will be highly benefit
cial to the ranchers who own land
in the locality. Farming and dairy
ing have always been highly profit
able in the Coquille river valley. 1t
is possible that the government will
be asked to aid in the experiment sta
