oldest in Berkeley and the bride has
wide circle of friends in the col

at many social affairs following the
announcement of her engagement to
Smith. and nothing was known of the
romance which eliminated Satur-
day. 1t is known that the brides
parents objected. to her marriage to
Holback, and for this reason the young
couple went to Alameda, where Rev.
F. S. Brush tied the knot. The parents
were not consulted and knew nothing
until after the ceremony, when the
young people returned home and were
promptly forgiven.
They then left for Gilroy. where they
will make their home. The bride was

eotler bodies The fight was carried
so far that Senator Owen of Okla
shoma announced that If the nomina-
ffion was presented he would fight
confirmation to the bitter end and
would introduce a resolution in the
senate asking the president for copies
of all Endorsements of Judge Hook.
All these protests were referred by
President Taft to the department of
justice for investigation and resulted
in a report from Attorney General
Wickersham that he found them to be
groundless. The latter pointed out that
it would be unfair to Judge. the char
acter of a jurist by single opinion
simply because it happened to favor a
public service corporation, and added
that an examination of Judge Hooks
record refuted thes charge that he was
that Judge Hooks decision in the Okla
homa rate case was sustained by the
court of appeals and that the supreme
court refused to reopen the case.
Judge Hook, through Senator Curtis
of Kansas, laid before the president a
letter denying the charge which had
been made against him that his son
was an attorney for the railroads in
the oklahoma case.
AS an offset to this opposition. it has
been recalled that the railroads raised
an outcry when Hook was appointed a
federal district judge in 1899. objecting
to having more power given man who
had made a reputation as a successful
attorney in damage suits against them.
and that after his promotion the the
circuit court four years later by Presi-
dent Roosevelt he again lost favor
with the corporations by his views con-
cerning the Standard Oil and Hartman
merger cases

AGRICULTURE IN ALASKA
FEASIBLE ON EXTENDED SCALE

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1. =
Prof. c. c. Georgeson, who has charge
of the Alaska Agricultural Experiment
Stations, has just arrived in Wash
ington and reported to Secretary Will
son on the agriculture of the Terri
tory. He shows that agriculture is
practicable on an extended scale.
The economic conditions prevailing
in Alaska prevent speedy settlement
of the Territory by farmers. Trans
portation is too expensive for the poor
man to go there and take up land, and
the farmers who are well-to-do do not
leave the States.
A special homestead law for Alaska
allows citizens of the United States
with homestead rights to take up 800
acres of unsurveyed land for home
stead purposes, but the locator must
pay the cost of the survey, which
amounts to several hundred dollars.
Professor Georgeson by crossing a
cultivated variety of the strawberry
which was too tender for the climate
with the wild Alaska strawberry, has
produced a large number of hybrids,
many of which are not only hardy
and thrive well in the climate but
are very productive and yield large
berries of excellent quality. He also
produced a number of hybrid barI6ys
by crossing varieties excellent in
themselves but requiring a longer
growing season than the Alaska
climate affords, with early maturing
varieties which are undesirable be-
caUse they are small producers and
have heavy boards. Many of the n.y.
birds resulting from this cross are
early enough to mature in the interior
of Alaska in normal seasons and hav.
ing no boards can be used for hay
and red to farm animals without be-
ing threshed This result is of i'm
portance, for it is becoming more and
more apparent that to succeed in grain
Alaska must develop vari-
eties which are better suited to the
climate than the grains which are in
troduced from southern ATTITUDES.
Winter rye and winter wheat can
be successfully grown in interior Alas
ka whenever the snowfall is deep |
enough to protect the grain against
severe winter temperature, say from
2h to Sh feet. Rye is harder than
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-05-22

wheat and therefore the more success
full of the two grains; but it is ex-
pected that the Experiment Station
viii develop varieties of these grains
suited to the climatic conditions. ST.
berian alfalfas which the Department
of Agriculture secured through Prof.
N. E. Hansen, of South Dakota, from
the vast semi-arid regions of western
Siberia have been introduced, and have
been grown at the Experiment Station
at Rampant in latitude Csc 30' where
all the experiments with grains and
various plants are conducted. If an.
other year should prove that they can
maintain themselves, an important
problem in Alaskan agriculture has
been solved, as leguminous plant was
needed, not only to furnish feed for
live stock, but to aid in the mainte.
nance of the fertility of the soil.
There are four Experiment Stations
in Alaska located respectively at Sit
ka, Fairbank, Rampant and Kodiak
The headquarters is located at Sitka
station, which is devoted chiefly to
experiments in horticulture, such as
the naturalization of strawberries
above mentioned. Five varieties of
apples were matured in the summer of
1911 at this station in a test orchard
which was planted in 1908. 1t has been
considered doubtful whether apples
could be grown in Alaska, but this
station has proved that some varieties
will mature.
The climate of the coast region is
modified by the proximity of the Pa
cific ocean. The winters are compara-
lively mild but the summers are cold
and moist. The lowest temperature at
Sitka the past winter was IA deg.
above zero and the highest tempera-
ture on record at the same place dur.
ing period of upwards of rs years
is 81 deg. The maximum temperature
frequently does not exceed rs deg. and
it does not reach that high
during the entire growing season. The
difficulty with apple-growing in the
coast region is not that the winters
are too cold but that the summers are
not warm enough to mature the fruit.
In the interior, on the other hand, the
are warm enough but the
winters are too severe for the trees

BOSTON TO HAVE A .
HOSPITAL FOR THE BLUES

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 9.--Boston
is to have hospital for the blues"
the first of it's kind in the world. The
hospital for the blues" will be a
branch of the Boston State Hospital,
and will be conducted on the theory
that all insanity cases are simply
forms of physical sickness which can
he alleviated with proper treatment.
To that end, the place will be sort
of clearinghouse for those whose
brains are out of gear. They will be
differentiated and classified according
to the kinds of mental diseases they
show, and the remedies will be sought
for each class of patients.
There will be an out-patient depart
ment for dealing with incipient insan-
ity, and it is expected that this branch
of the work will afford striking oppor-
tunities for the relief of many mildly
insane persons without subjecting
them to the stigma of insanity.
