BERRIES IN ALASKA
Strawberry Growing Is Possible
in the Far North.
Department of Agriculture Finds Cold
Resisting Plant Susceptible to Gull
tIvation-The "Tin Cow" No
Longer a Luxury.

Washington. - Native-grown straw
berries and cream in Alaska would
have sounded like comic supplement
joke few years ago. But they are
now actualities, according to the ex-
pertinent station report of the depart
ment of agriculture. Of course, the
resident millionaires of the Klondike
could afford to import strawberries
from Indo-China if they wanted to do
so, but they prefer to grow them local
ly, and if the present prospects hold
out they are likely to become a reg
ular market commodity and within
reach of the common mine laborer
who makes only SIS or $40 a day.
The department of agriculture was
interested in Alaska fruit culture for
a long time, and explorers brought
cold-resistant plants from all quarters.
Many of them did we'll, and the de-
partment is now experimenting there
with black currant that will live out
of doors at temperature of SO.
But the residents could not find a
strawberry that would stand the eli
mate and bear fruit inside the narrow
time limit allowed by an Alaskan sum-
mer
Finally the plant breeders took hold
of the problem. The plant breeder is
one of the latest developments Of sci
ence. He Is the wizard Of the new
tive member of the strawberry family
down on the coast near Sitka The
fruit was about as eatable as a mock
orange, but it was a native and in
ured to the climate. This was crossed
with a good fruit-bearing plant from
the states, and the result has devel-
oped as a cold-resisting plant that
bears q better fruit than either of it's
parents. The experiment station has
been growing them and next year
they will be generally put out in the
local gardens.
AS for cream, that is easy. The
day has passed when Alaska had to
depend on the 'tin cow" and get its
milk from the condensing factories.
The department started several years
ago with a small herd of the little
shaggy, black Galloway cattle and
found they took kindly to the soil and
climate of Kodiak Island. To be sure,
the big brown Kodiak bears that are
big as elephants ate a few, and last
year there was a volcano over on the
mainland sixty-two miles away that
sifted ashes down on the pastures and
starved few more to death. But the
cattle did we'll In spite of handicaps,
and the department now Is selecting
some of the best mixers and build
ing up a regular dairy herd.
Butter from the native cows has
sold at times in Alaska cheaper than
it was doing on the same date in
Washington. So the cream for the
native strawberries is assured. 1t is
true that the department has not yet
found a sugar cane that will grow
inside the arctic circle, and the Alas
kans still have to import their sugar,
but if the sugar beet man Is to be
trusted, he thinks in time he can de-
velop a sugar beet that will grow on
the Yukon. If that is the case, Alaska
will feel so Independent Of the rest
of the country that the chances are
she will raise a kick in congress for
an autonomous form of government.

The state supreme court this morning
dismissed the appeal taken from the
circuit court of Gillian county by Rob
ert Morgan. In fit of jealousy Nor
gan killed his sweetheart, virgie Hart,
in Condor last November. He was
tried and convicted Of murder in the
first degree, and sentenced to hang.
MOrgan's attorney sought to appeal
the case, but failed to file the transcript
of the case within the allotted five days.
On these grounds the court dismissed
the appeal.
The last hope for Morgan is the in

may bc brought about by the fact that
the murderer is but youth.

GIDEON STOLz TRIES
TO EXPLAIN MATTERS
Laughable Effort by Councilman to De

Which Evaded Work.

Gideon Stolz valiantly defended the
jain Construction Company last night
at the city hall, insisting that much of
the dirt reported to have been left on
Union street was really an accumu-
lation of years and that the contractor
left very little, if any. He insisted that
the ways and means committee and tho
citizens committee were off in their
conclusions.
The ways and means committee g re.
port upheld that made by the property
owners and recommended that the city
attorney be instructed to recover from
the jain Construction company total
Of $3.50 for Church street and $249 for
Union street. 1t was further recon.

After giving lot of figures showing
that the jain company had evaded its
contract by failing to remove the dirt
Rigdon mildly declared that he was
not censuring anyone and he felt the
jain company to be the least to blame
Of anyone. He intimated that if the
jain people were the gentlemen he
thought they were they would do the
right thing.

NIGGER IN SEWER

That there is niger in the sewer

the assertion last night Of MintOn at

every effort was being made, and had
been made, to delay the san. Of bonds,
and he proposed to show up the true sit.

not see why the bid of the United
States National bank was not legal.
The council last night authorized the
committee on accounts and current ex-
penses to re-advertise the $3S0,000 is
sue of sewer bonds, referring the mat
ter to the committee with power to act,
The special committee, consisting Of
the committee on accounts and current
expenses, the mayor and city attorney,
made long report, in which it was
stated that only $4,000 subscribed by To-.
cal people toward the sewer bonds could
be accepted. The report recommended
the bonds be again advertised, but
fears were expressed that it would be
impossible to get par bid, and the
charter made it impossible to accept n
bid below par, In case the bonds are
not sold the city must take care Of ap.
