.ROPS BETTER THAN EXPECTED.

ROPS BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
The fear of a complete crop fail
e which was felt all over South
akota a month ago, has been
city generally dissipated by the
cent general rains. Reports sent
ut now are to the effect that in all
probability the state will produce
he largest corn crop in its history.
IS this is the main crop raised in
1t least third of the state and a
1ery important one in the remain
ng portion. it will be seen that
vhen the full reckoning is made we
ill have escaped complete fail
re by a long, long way.
In this section conditions have
hanged wonderfully in the past
1ree weeks. 1t is absolutely Ger
ain that winter feed on the range
,ill be better than last year and
lay in all low places is coming
long SO fast that if any is shipped
n during the coming winter and
spring it will be by those who are
now absent from their claims and
fail to procure at the proper time
what there is. The potato crop
though far behind schedule is now
coming along at a corking pace
and by the time frost comes eve
predict there will be plenty and to
spare.
But the most encouraging as
pect of the whole matter is the
hopeful manner people are looking
ahead and preparing for the future.
Nearly all of the steam breaking
outfits have resumed work. There
will be sufficient winter wheat put
in to demonstrate pretty clearly
whether it is feasible to raise that
crop in this section, while others
are, or soon will, disc and drag
their spring breaking with a view
of retaining the present moisture
according to recognized dry-farm-
ing methods. The net result is
that things are going ahead instead
of backward and the opportune
time for invertments is right now
when prices are the lowest they
probably will ever be again.

the Seller?

classes in the world: the people who
buy and the people who sell. Our
government by its protective tariff has
given the seller club to beat the

who sells and the man who buys, why
should the government favor one more
than another?-Beaumont Enterprise.

According to the New Rules and
Regulations" lately issued by the de-
partment of justice. copies of which
have been received by the district
court officials, witnesses in attend
ance on grand juries and the courts
of Alaska. after July l, will be more
literally paid by the government than
heretofore has been the custom The
new ruling applies only. however, TO
those witnesses who are compelled
to travel more than 100 miles, and
who, at the present time, must not
only stand the loss occasioned by
their absence from business, but al
so the bulk of their travelling ex-
penses in going and coming from the
federal headquarters.
The new regulations, which are TO
go into effect July 1st, give the wit
nesses the choice of two courses, both
of which are an improvement over
the old rules.
Under the new system, where a
witness resides more than 100 miles
away he may either take mileage at
Is cents per mile and attendance at
81 per day for the time necessarily
occupied from the time he started
until he gets home again 1.-THE old
rule allowed only the actual attend
ance in COURT or he may take his
actual expenses for travel and sub
sistence with the S4 per diem for the
time spent from the date he left home
until his return. By these provisions,
while jury duty will be a hardship
it will hereafter not call for the ex
penditure of money from the witness
es' own pockets to meet expenses.
These rates of pay hold for the Sec
ond, Third and Fourth divisions. In
the First division the mileage allow
ed is 10 cents and the per diem at
tendance is 50.
Since being advised of the changes
the federal officials have attempted
to have the attorney general advance
the time that the new rules are TO
take effect from July 1st to include
the present term of court, and the
witnesses now in attendance on court
and before the grand jury, but the
effort was without avail.

LOCATED
NEAR TRAIL

Parties coming from the interior
report that F. V. Vaughn, the well

house, on the Fairbanks trail, has
located a quartz ledge, samples from
which show free gold.
The ore body is said to be ten
feet across the face and to be trace
able for distance of several claim
lengths. Mr.. Vaughn has brought
quantity of the rock down to his
roadhouse, where it was placed on
exhibition.
The ledge is said to be in plain
view of all who pass over the gov
eminent trail and several experienced
miners who have visited the prop
erty claim that Vaughn's showing is
a remarkable one. The roadhouse
man is elated over the find and states
that he will commence development
work just as soon as the weather will
permit.

CHANDLAR AND kOYUkUK PROTEST
AGAINST POOR MAIL SERVICE

The residents of the Chandlar,
Koyukuk and Beaver districts have
sent request to Alaska's delegate
in Congress asking him to aid them
in securing from the government a
twice-a-month mail service during
the closed season. 1t is set forth
in the petition to the delegate that
the citizens of Beaver at present are
absolutely without a mail service be-
tween the time the Yukon closes I'M
til the opening of navigation in the
spring and he is requested to inter-
cede in their behalf in persuading the
government to give them at least a
twice-a-month service during the
coming winter.
In the petition they set forth that
they have had mail service along the
The Chitina leader., 1911-03-18

Yukon from Eagle to Fort Gibbon.
Last fall the winter service between
Fort Yukon and Rampant, and from
Fort Yukon to Caro-, was discontin-
ued. Proposals were called for TO
carry the mails from Fort Yukon to
Caro- via Beaver, and several bids
were submitted for such service.
However, nothing came of it, and the
consequence is that from rs to 100
people, miners and prospectors on
the Chandlar and Hosiana Rivers
and tributaries, and the residents of
the town of Beaver, have had to de-
pend upon any one who might be 60
ing over the trails on private bust
ness for the delivery of their mail
or bear the expense of sending some
one for it.

the most feasible way of reaching
the top, because it is gradual, where
as the south or Chulitna River ap-
proach, which DIR. Cook took, is pre-
cipitous. Nobody in Alaska believes
that the summit can be reached in
summer. The Fairbanks expedition
left in December with two dog teams
which, l believe, they took all the
way. They went along leisurely up
the Cantwell River, camping here and
there, and following the northern
ridge above the glacier. In March
they arrived at the base, and in the
latter part of this month, when the
sun had hardened the snow crust and
there was no fresh snow or any dan
ger of avalanches, they made the
dash to the summit.
I'VE have only their say and their
diary to prove that they reached the
top, but nobody in Alaska, nor any
one who knows them, doubts that
they got there. All the men were
