Land Falls as Tide Rises.

According to the report of Professor
Milne to the British association. land
adjoining the shore falls as the tide
rises. BY means of a seismograph
placed M and a half miles from the
shore at Bidston. Cheshire. it was
found that the average DETECTION due
to tidal effects represented a change in
slope of about n inch in sixteen
miles. The violence of the change ap-
pears to depend upon whether the tide
rises slowly or whether it rises rapid
~ and to ar unusual height.-London

The Alaska sourdough., 1911-09-26
ROADS AND AGRICULTURE

Two things in Alaska are necessary before it can become an agricultural country of any extent and importance -cheaper transportation into the country and good roads within the country. The present cost of moving into Alaska-high enough for single ndividual-become prohibitive to the average farmer with his family and his bulky farm machinery. To move to Alaska he must be capitalist to be- gin with, and being so, would probably not care to come to Alaska to take his chances with new and strange condi- tiona.
 As Professor Georgeson says in an interview elsewhere in this issue, good roads aer a necessary element ln the development of farming in any coun- try. The fertility of the Tanana val ley and it's adaptability to agriculture has been proved beyond all doubt, and we believe firmly that the floor of the valley will some day be smooth ex- panse of waving grain. But quite as necessary to success in farming as are fertility and favorable climate, is the facility of disposing of the products. Without good roads, agriculture must continue as a fringe around the towns, and can never move very far away from the mass op population.-Fair- banks Times.
