FISHERS OPINION OF ALASKA.

Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the
Department of the Interior. at Wash
ington, has just returned from hi S
visit to Alaska, where he made d
careful personal inspection of condi.
tions about which so much of a
sensational character has been said,
and his report will put a decided
Crimp into the muck-rakers who have
been giving their imaginations free
rein in these matters At a dinner
given in his honor at Seattle last
Friday night he declared Controller
Bay to be neither the only nor the best
harbor for the output of the Behring
River coal fields. He pronounced the
extent and character of those fields
grossly exaggerated and announced
his policy to be the opening and
development of the fields, but not
under unrestricted private ownership.
The plan of leasing the coal lands,
Mr.. Fisher said, observes considera-
ton because it has the approval of
the President.
The third remedy" he continued,
is that the government shall own
and operate the mines, A great
many thoughtful men in tha Uuited
States are of the opinion that the
time will come when it will become
necessary for the government to
regulate the sources of fuel
and waterfalls-upon which industry
depends.
However, the opposition which
government ownership and operation
would encounter in Congress must be
considered. "
OF the coal lands be said:
l am seriously disappointed in
what l saw in the Behring River coal
fields. Reports Of their extent and
character have been grossly ex-
aggerated. I regret this exaggeration,
because it may have been the means
of leading persons to invest in these
fields. However, there is valuable
coal, and the district is one of con-
siderable Importance. .
The Matauska coal field, tributary
to Seward, he did not visit. he said,
adding, lit is reported to contain
better coal than the Behring River
field and mole of it. However, it is
farther ftom railroad and farther
from seaport.
If any foot Of CONTROLLER Bay is
more valuable than another, do not
know it, = he said, speaking of out
'le& I am not violating any conf
dence @V2en I say l believe Controller
Bay is not the only possible harbor
for the Behring River coal fields, and
far from the best bar bor. !"

sight tor the majority which they had

uneducated in the art of flying, the ascent of

source of education. HIS machine looked

FARMERS TO FORM
SOCIETY OF EQUITY

"A large number Of representative
farmers in this vicinity met in the
school house last Saturday afternoon
Tor the purpose of listening to an adj
dress delivered by Mr.. Lemon, dis
trict organizer Of the Farmers So
ciety of Equity. After the speaker
explained the object of the society,
the farmers preseut engaged in Il
general discussion of the proposition
of organization, and the matter was
left for final decision until Saturday
of this week at which time another
meeting will be held.
The sentiment of those present was
strongly in favor of building a farm
ers' elevator in Judith Gap, and
whether or not society of equity
Will be formed here. it is almost GER
tain that farmers elevator will be
in operation in this town in time to
take care Of next years crop.
The matter Of flour mill for Ju-
dith Gap was also discussed, and all
except George Finch thought it
would be a good thing to have
with the elevator. Mr.. Finch was of
the opinion that the farmers should
not go into the mill proposition, and
cited case of farmers mill in
Bozeman which was sold to the mill.

many Of the stockholders lost every

vor Of shipping all the wheat to Min
neapolis and making the local mills
pay the freight back on the grain il
they wanted it.
The statement was made that verv
little Of the Montana wheat was
shipped out Of the state, yet the
freight charges to Minneapolis was
always deducted from the Mlnneapo-
lis price when the farmer sold his
grain. All were Of the opinion that
this was all injustice, inasmuch as
none of the grain ever left the state,
and that at least half Of this freight
charge should 60 to the farmer.
Cases were cited where farmers
had shipped their grain direct to
Minneapolis and sas sed 10 centsa .bu.

Statements were also made that the
local buyers .All over this section of

Charles Adams, who has been work
ing for Murphy Bros, and others in
this vicinity since the first part OF
August. was arrested last sunday
night in Deyarmon' saloon for dis
orderly conduct and landed in the
calaboUse ON the hill.
Monday morning he sent for Justice
OF theP-eace j. r. Balm and informed
him he wanted to make u confession.
In the presence Of the justice and
Muck Ray, Adams made the follow
ing confession:
~, Charles Adams. do swear the
following is Il correct statement:
There were six OF IT'S when we left
Aberdeen, :. y. We went to Il small
town in North Dakota forthe purpose
OF holding up "A tram there. We
could not board the train there, so
moved north about seven or eight
miles and boarded it, two going to
the head and two to the rear. was
one that went to the rear. l entered
the sleeping coach; there were Il
couple Of shots ired; they say a wo-
man and baby were killed, but this l
am not sure of. We robbed few Of
the passengers il: the sleeper. Then
we got Il signal from the boys on the
head end to stop. We left the train
and ran south. This was southeast
OF Buffalo. We circled and made for
the swamps, and went through Buff
falO. That was where one was shot.
Went from there to Fargo. Tried to
board passenger train there, but
could not do it, so we separated. l

work for man named Kaufman. 1t

After receiving the confession,
which Adams claimed he made to
ease his conscience, not being able to
sleep nights, Judge Balm got into
communication with the Northern
Pacific officials and they wired Balm
to hold the prisoner. Tuesday two
railroad detectives arrived in Judith
Gap and took Adams into custody,
taking him to Livingston on No. ~.
People who are well acquainted with
Adams in this vicinity claim that he
has always acted queerly. and many
OF them believe he is crazy. llowev-

WHY OUR WHEAT
GOES TO EUROPE

Why Pacific coast farmers shin
their surplus grain to Europe rather
than to the market centers of the
mississippi valley, is discussed in Il
bulletin just issued by the depart
ment Of agriculture. Freight charges
for the $1,000 mile voyage from Spo-
kale or Walla Walla to Liverpool,
the bulletin points out, range from -
to 30 cents a bushel for wheat, while
the 2,00O-mile haul from the same
points to Chicago is 34.5 cents abush-
Ell. The former rates to Portland or
Puget Sound, ocean rates and marine
insurance. While it costs the far
mer from 20 to % cents per ton mile
to haul his wheat to the shipping
point the ocean haul to England by
way OF Cape Horn is only from two
three hundredths OF one cent per ton
per mile. During the five years from
1905 to 1910, inclusive, there were ex-
ported from the Pacific coast an aver
age OF 10000, 600 bushels Il year.

WHY MONTANANS
WERE THANKFUL

The people of Montana had manv
reasons for giving expression to their
gratitude for blessings that have been
theirs during the past year, says tho
Valerian. This great state and its
people have been spared from the dis
asters of fire and food that have been
the portion Of some of her sister
states: her farms and her orchards
have produced abundantly: her mines
have poured forth their treasurers.
and there has been no death-dealiue
epidemic to carry sorrow into hund-
reds of homes. Her people have not
only been able to produce food with
which to provide themselves, but tho
products Of the state have gone to
feed and to clothe people in all parta.

because after many years Of waiting
there has come nationwide recop-
milton Of her natural wealth and re-
sources, and this recognition has ta-
ken form which will in the near fu-
