ALASKA FOR SHEEP

The interior of Alaska is to succeed Dakota and Montana as the great sheep raising country, so thinks John Rosene. In an interview in the Haines Pioneer Press he says, speaking of the country back of Haines:
 Sheep thrive in that land. In fact the possibilities of sheep raising struck me most forcibly. No where have l seen land that has more promising future in this direction, now that this great industry is being crowded out of Dakota and Montana, owing to the dry farming that is taking it's place. The sustenance is there for many mil lions of sheep; the supply is practically inexhaustible-the food that they thrive on in winter in Northern Flu rope-alder and birch boughs dried is there in unlimited supply, and in that country it is not even necessary to cut and dry it as they do in the old country, on account of the dryness of the winter.
 ''Where this land is cleared,' con- tinued Mr. Rosene, "wild grass grows up in season, making pasture for countless herds. I don t know as much about sheep raising as some, but l shall soon know more, for l intend to give this matter some study and l will give the land trial, and will place a hundred or two head of sheep on this land for test. The summers are dry and warm and the winters not nearly so severe as in Dakota and Northern Montana, and I am more than certain that the trial will prove successful In those wonderful valleys, winter wheat and rye will surely ripen and mature, and were it not for the minerals that abound, this alone would some day be the cause of this country being settled. The mineral wealth will draw them, but they will see the agricultural pos abilities, and farms will spring up all over these fertile valleys.
 ''The building of railroad through this territory would be an easy under taking. No where have I seen an cas- fer grade, practically water grade all the way after passing Rainy Hol- low, and for stretches of 50 to 75 miles rails could be laid on a straight line, no curves, and no grade for the main line. For some of the side lines perhaps the grade would be factor to contend with, but nothing difficult whatever With such a roadbed in the future it will be but three day trip from Seattle to Fairbanks, with fast steamers to bring you to Haines in AS hours, of course not making long stops at other towns it would be but a 24 hour trip from Haines to Fairbanks, distance of 750 miles.
 "We will do considerable work next year, just to what extent it is impos- sible tosay at this time, but we will continue on a much larger scale than during the present season..

Church of the Redeemer.

(Rev. Edw. Fulenwider, Pastor).
Nothing preventing, there will be
the regular services at the Lutheran
Church of the Redeemer next Sunday.
The following is the program:
II a. m.-The regular morning SER
vice with a sermon by the pastor on
the subject: "The Converted Mans
Relation to the City in which He
Lives" There was time when men
thought that, in order to please God
and live the best life, they must go
into the dens and caves of the earth
away from business and their fellow
men, but we have passed away from
that conception of lire and are begin
ming more and more to realize that
the best life is lived IN touch with
men, and the best character formed
in the marts of the world. The words
of the text are these: Lord, what wilt
thou have me to do? And the LORD
said unto him, Arise, and go into the
city, and it shall be told thee what
thou must do"
Some things of practical import
ance that the citizens Of every city
should consider will he presented.
7.30 %. m.-The subject of the SER
mon will be: "The Gardens of God. -
This will be another of the evening
sermons on the common things OF
life. It is interesting to note that
some of the most important and tragic
scenes of the worlds history have
taken place in gardens. Notably, the
Fall" in Eden, and the agony OF
Christ in Gethsemane.
Men may admire their fields which
suggest toll, labor, and profit, but
they love their gardens which sug-
e7est beauty and pleasure. 1t is saad
that when old Diocletian was invited
from his retreat to resume the royal
p1rple~ which he had laid down some
wears before, he exclaimed: "Could
YOU but see those fruits and herbs OF
mine own raising at Salona, you
world never talk to me Of empire.
The subject suggests many practical
lessons. There will be good music at
both services.
.. m.-The Sunday school meets
There are classes for all ages.
The public is cordially invited TO all
