HIS DUKESH|P
 IN DISGUISE
Descends From a Print Shop to a Dukedom With a For-
 tune Attachment

Says the Dawson News: Let tcrS from the lowcr' river bring the news that Nat Lyons, for years prominent KlOndiker, and for the last two years advertising manager of the IditarOd Pioneer, has fallen heir to a title and a large estate in England. The ti- tle is said to descend from Mats brother. The Iditarod Pioneer tells of Nat preparing to leave for England, but does not reveal the reason. Letters state he goes to get the wealth and label.
 Nat Lyons history in Klondike is romantic. He came in '9s, tOiling over Chilcoot with the hardest and the toughest, eating beans and bacon for months straight, sleeping in the snow, mushing the numerous streams, prospecting at the end of the pick and shovel, and all the time maintaining the simple tenor of his ways that led none of hisi companions to suspect he was a duke or a lord.
 Nat was a real miner. He ran hundreds of feet of hard rock tunnels on inc S"lwyn and did much other work behind the pick. Three years ago hc was promi- nrnt in Yukon politics and took the stump for Bob Lowe, making speeches in some of the firrcrSf gatherings and acquiiIing himself crcdiIahly.

One of the most interesting fea- .turcs of Alaska farming--outside of the midnight sun--is the mos quitOes, which are said to be so numerous that fertilizing is never resortcd to. Moreover, some Alaskans even go so far as to de- clare that the soil of the Panama valley is so rich and productive that many of the farmers find it necessary to hire men whose sole duty it is to keep caribou and moose from lettering in their fields. That's going some for farming. A curious legend, how ever, connects some part of the country with glaciers and storm swept mOraineS. Old-timers know or but one such place: Many years ago--in the Cheechaco age --Naldez was so hot that the town council found it necessary to build a glacier back of their "R: R." to keep the ties from burning and the rails from melting. 9th crwiSc she is workable garden of Eden.

THE FARMER
 IN ALASKA
He acn Raise Average Crops of Cabbages and Hades--Farms
 Over and Under Ground

The Alaska farmer is that lat est "punkin" in the Northern market; and his light, like the aurora bOrcaliS, cannot be hidden under buShel. To the unso- phislicated "townie" and Outside camp robber, the Alaska farmer seems paradoXical absurdity. To the practical cxpcrimcnter of propagating scientist he is a growing wonder. To Alaskans he is a godsend. When first heard of and seen the Alaska rarmer appeared to be only a Scarecrow or prospective bugaboo, invent ed by miners and busybodies with a view to frightening innocent transportation companies and galvanized solder-and-can indus tries. Later observations, how ever, taken in the Iimelight of gastrnomic opinion, shows him to be a hoc-and-rake, spade and spud rcality--icOnoclaStic in his appearance and classy in his rut- abagas and potatoes. The com mon idea is that Alaska is only a country of gold and corporate greed is busted fallacy. The Alaska farmer is thc guy that busted. ii. Digging in the ground has always been a fascinating game io nld-timcrS in the north, and many have got rich and poor at il. BuI only now are they
 really commencing ln farm.
 Farming. however. is a vague icrn:, and il is mol easy lu say where il hrginS and where it ends In Alaska.

In snbrrcr or lat rr days an ancient cOnlrivancc called "husinrSS" was used. Some farmers, howsomcvcr, were so enterprising in those days that they had Siwash blows and native motive power. Few AlaSkans go to the blow nowadays and turn over the ground with a bull moose and SiwaSh driver. Outside ma chincry does everything but pay the prospcctOr and circulate the profits.

strong one. the light weight season

There is comparatively little wool
