ALASKA BEST
 SHEEP COUNTRY
Manager of Experimental Station Says Alaska Will Soon be
 Exporting

MT. M. D. SnOdgrass, in charge of the government experimental station on Kodiak island, was a passenger on the Sampson, bound for the central states, where he goes to purchase additional stock for the station.
 MT. SnOdgrass reports that cat tie and sheep do well on the is- land and can be maintained at less cost than in the states. Dur ing the past winter the stock ranged outside and were not fed at any time. Galloway stock has been principally bred, although the other breeds have been suc- cessfully raised.
 u IS the purpose of the station 10 bring out a breed for butter as well as beef, to suit the condi- tions and necessities of this nor- thern country. Mir. Snodgrass expresses his firm conviction that within 0 few years Alaska will raise all the mutton and beef she consumes and that later on this territory will be exporting to the states.
 Of sheep, the long-haired va 1'rties seem 10 prosper best and are not winter fed. He pronoun- ces the islands on this coast as the best sheep country on the en- tire continent. Immediately up- on his return MT. SnodgEass will begin experimenting on dairy work to ascertain just what stock will do here, and to thak end will erect model dairy.

Eagle Hall Was Brilliantly Decorated and Hundreds of Happ, People Enjoy First Annual Event Of Valdez Camp
 No Boundary Line Here" Is Motto

The grand Easter ball given by Valdez Camp No. 10, Arctic Brotherhood, last evening, in the Eagles hall, was one of the most successful social functions ever given in Southwestern Alaska. The Brotherhood had gone to much expense and trouble to transform the hall into a verita- ble fairy land, and to say they succeeded we'll would but weak ly voice the sentiments of the joyous throng filling the hall. The colOrS of the order were cv- anywhere visible, generously re- lievcd by the Stars and Stripes. Electric lights were used in pro- fusion, adding brilliancy to the scene.
 At the head of the hall, in cleo tric bulbs, was the motto of the order: No boundary line here" and just below was a reproduce tion of the Chilcoot pass, at the Scales, artistically executed by MT. William Morton. In the cen- ter of the floor a booth was erect ed, where the Arctic Queen, in the person of Miss Esther North, dispensed refreshments to the thirsty. The booth itself was a thing of beauty, being profuscly covered with carnations brought from the outside, which, later in the evening, were distributed among the ladies.
 Each guest was given a badge of silk, in purple and white, bearing the orders legend. while the gentlemen were given silk ribbon surmOunted by a button rmblcmatical of the fraternity. The Majestic orchestra of five pieces dispensed sweet music, with the occasional addition of the voices of Mcssrs.
