Of the City Proper.

Fairbanks is an incorporated Town governed by common council nf seven members elected annually. la fire department is up-to-date and adequate fer all cmergenccs likely to arise, It's streets are well kept and it's public school compares flaw. orably with thos, found in much larger cities of the states. In spite of having made extensive improve ments in recent years the city is practically out of debt.
 A very large number of the resi- dents own their own houses. am ug these being many large frame buildings, handsomely constructed and elegantly furnished. Every year the city is taking on more pcrma- nent appearance as il becomes ap. parent that Fairbanks is firmly es- tabIished as the Alaskan metropolis

Farming Possibilities.

T ei ifIliiJ OSo oiDlIItlCS.
 Although the Panama valley is 300 miles long and contains millions of acres Of level fertile soil, covered ill places with vast meadows f na- tive grasses. very little farming has vet been done. and if is still necessary 10 import 1,250 tons of hay and half a million pounds of potatoes annually. the hay selling at $S5 per ton. and the potatoes at s to l2 cents pound This in the face of the fact that il has been demonstrated that almost all kinds of grain can be ripened here and that vegetables, the equal of any in the world, can be produced
 An official of the United States agricultural department is authority fer tEe statement that in the north of Europe approximately three mil lion people derive support from az ricuItural pursuits in countries whose soil and climate are not bet ter than that of the Panama valley, and those who have taken up farm ing as a livelihood are every year increasing their acreage under culti- vation. Truck gardening has been engaged in with marked success. for the variety and quality of the pro ducts of this northern soil are sur prising. While it is fact little understood ill the states it is never theless true that cabbage, cauli flower. potatoes. turnips, lettuce, Ihubarb. carrots. beets. parsnips. radishes, onions. celery. tomatoes, cucumbers ard mushrooms are as successfully raised in Fairbanks as they are on Puget sound and during the summertime househ0lderS have no difficulty in furnishing their sup ply of green vegetables from their own gardens. At the second annual Panama Valley Fair. held this month. 'ie ulSpldH ol NtSclipltS anu Sl dlllS were such as to elicit from many the remark that they compared ia vorably with any seen at county fairs in the best farming states.
 Those coming to the country with the idea of engaging in farming however. must realize that. as in all branches Cf pioneering, there are obstacles to be Overcome-none of them insurmountable but some that call for the grit and patience that are seldom absent from the makeup of the average American farmer Endowed with a fair amount of pluck. good health and a reasonable skill in husbandry. there is little doubt that a very good living can be delved. even at this time. by the homesteader from the 320 acres it property is certain to rapidly in crease in value as the district be- comes more thickly settled

A safer prediction would he that the neighboring creeks will have doubled their present out put under the pick and shovel method, before they will have been given over entirely to more scientific mining by dredge or hydraulic giants.
 The new era of placer mining has already commenced. the Alaska EX- pl lJration company, an English syn dicare. having installed q large dredge on Fairbanks creek. The sue cess attending this venture will un- d8ubtedly mean the importation of several more next summer. for these machines will certainly be made to pay handsome profits from their op- peration on the rich gravcls that have been worked wastofully under more primitive methods. The first of a number If small dredges that will he installed in the near future to work the old dumps of Cleary creek has been ordered and will be in operation next summer These dumps. extending along seven miles of the creek. have yielded nearly twelve millions of dollars and wherever they have been worked over it has been found that very large percentage of the fine goll had escaped the sluice boxes.
