COMMISSION FACES
A HARD YEAR OWING
TO EXPRESS PROBE
Duties of Commerce Body
Will Be Taken Up Again
in Three Weeks.

Members Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission will get back to Washing
ton within the next three weeks and
VIII begin its work. The commission
has a hard year ahead Of It, with no
end OF important matters to be con-
sidered.
Since the law requires the commission
10 examine into proposed increases of
rates, when IT believes there is reason
for examination, a large amount OF
business has devolved upon It from this
source Moreover, the activities of the
commission are all the while growing,
and doubtless will continue to grow un-
less the Commerce Court gives them q
check, something that will have to be
determined by the Supreme Court Of
the United States.
The express company investigation Is
one of the biggest tasks the commission
has on its HANDS. It has been going on
for months. The commission has not
said much about II, but as a matter Of
fact 1t was we'll under way long be-
fore any public admission of that fact
was made. Experts have been probing
into the operations of the express COM
panies for the better part of a year. 1t
Is likely the report will be completed
this winter. Whether any public hear
ings are to be had is not announced.
The report Of the commission on the
express companies Is awaited with the
keenest interest in Congress. It is
likely TO lead to important legislation.
II is no secret that a large number of
members Of Congress are convinced that
the express companies ought to be put
out of business and that the railroads
themselves ought to perform the ex-
press service. The view that the Gov
ernment ought to take over the express
companies, too, has considerable sup
port.

ALASKA'S WEALTH
Agriculture Expert Says Country Will Produce Grain,
Vegetables, Berries and Live Stock-Farmhands'
Wages Only $3.50 Per Day.

| toned, do well. The currant, the
gooseberry and the raspberry, according
to the report, thrive and fruit as well
as anywhere on earth. THE currant
and gooseberry are both Indigenous to
Alaska. The red currant' is described
as abundant in many sections and Mr..
Georgeson adds:
THE writer once was a member Of a
party of berry pickers less than q de-
gree from the Arctic Circle, and the
raspberry was the most abundant fruit.
Alaska has other berries equally as
good. The blueberry of the interior is
so abaudant in places that the slopes
look blue at distance, and the native
cranberry Is also found in low, moss
grown thickets.
As to grains. some success has been
met with. 1t is said barley will be
the most important grain which can be
raised in the interior. It has a wider
field Of usefulness than oats. Barley
meal can be used, and in Northern Eu-
ropean countries Is used, largely as a
-four for domestic use. Winter wheat
has been more successful than spring
wheat, the latter being a failure.
The down-trodden "hired man. has a
Paradise in Alaska, providing he can
find anybody to hire him for farm work.
The Government agents at Fairbanks
experiment station found that wages
for common labor were $3.50 a day.
This means that only about one-fourth
OF the work can be done for a given
sum that could be done for the same
in the States. 1t means, too, that only
such agricultural work can be done IN
the Territory as can be done by the
owner himself or by members of his
family.
In the raising Of livestock, II appears
the experiments have met with a large
measure Of success. Cattle and sheep
thrive. Moreover, settlers have met with
success in raising hogs.
Some settlers say they anticipate
more from stock raising than from any
other kind of farming In the Territory.
The Washington times., 1911-09-13

In view Of the conflict of opinion as
to whether Alaska is as valuable as
represented. the report Of c. c. George
son, special agent Of the Department of
Agriculture IN charge of experiments
in Alaska, is an especially entertaining
document.
Mr.. Georgeson's report shows that
agriculture in Alaska Is difficult
proposition, beset with many disadvan-
tages. and yet that in spite of draw
baIks, much ran be accomplished. For
instance. the possibilities of the potato
are great in Alaska, a consideration of
moment to the inhabitants in view of
the high prices Of potatoes in this coun-
try.
The potato. in fact. 10 the chief vege-
table crop Of Alaska. Mr.. Georgeson
Gays Il is Of more value than any other
single kind OF vegetable. Potatoes can
be grown successfully in all parts Of
Alaska. even north Of the Arctic Circle
Alaska would hardly be considered a
good place to raise strawberries, but
the efforts of the Department Of Agri-
tended with much success. Strawber-
lies grow Wild in many parts Of the
country and the work of most interest
at the Sitka experiment station the last
year, Mr.. Georgeson reports, was the
of hybrid strawberries.
These experiments have been success
full. Some Of the plants produced ber-
ries that would exceed in size the av-
erage strawberry found in the market
and with few exceptions all of the ber-
ries are superior in flavor to the culti-
waited varieties.
Considerable success has been met
with in the cultivation of cabbage,
and root crops of all kinds.
Apples and like fruits have given lit
tie promise. Some fruits. however, in
addition to Strawberries already men
