Residents Of Lee county should feel justly proud Of the
record that has been made by the people Of the county IN
the subscribing Of the fund for farm agent i remains for
others to point out to us one OF the best features OF this work
which Is that the fund has been subscribed almost entirely
by the farmers Of the county Mr. a. 3 Caldwell state
travelling representative OF the Georgia Chamber OF Com
has said to representative Of The Journal that IN his
belief Lee county stands practically alone in this particular
as in every other county Of the state the subscriptions have
been made largely by those notdrecy interested in farming
This is matter Of great satisfaction to the people OF the
county for it shows that the farmers OF Lee county are alive
to their own interests The farmers Of this county have not
waited for others to pledge this fund for hem but they have
rome ahead and pledged it for themselves That not all
or the most part this fund has already been paid IN It Is
only matter Of very short time before the entire fund VIII
e paid into the bank here be held in trust until the agent
begins his work next February this is not record Of
which Lee county should be proud then surely it has not
appreciation OF its own enterprise and agressveness.
Tn speaking Of this county and section, Mr. Caldwell
paid glowing tribute to the future that awaits this section
Of Georgia The beginning Of prosperity has just been made
here he said and the future holds everything that the c
ens Of Lee county and neghborng counties desire no
wonder immigrants are coming into Lee county rapidly said
Mr.. Caldwell for no white immigrants should find more
desirable home than is to be afforded him here where add
ona white people are much desired and are SO cordially
received by their neighbors Mr. Caldwell predicts most
helpful and useful career for the Lee County Chamber o.
Commerce if the people Of the county will give it their full
support and sympathy Surely the people Of the county
ought not to appreciate their only trade organization less
than a stranger

ALASKA NEWS NOTES

There is considerable excitement at Seward and to the westward over the seeming discovery of another big gold placer district. Gold to the value of $l.200 has been brought by one party to Knik. which was taken out under difficulties and without many faciIi- ties. The location of the new placer find Is northeast of the Matanuska coal fields, and about no miles dis tant from Knik and possibly little longer distance from Chitina, via Will low creek and Copper Center, and then along the Tazlina river to the mouth of the Nelchina river
 The first finds have been made on Albert creek. which is a tributary of the upper waters of Caribou creek, and at the headwaters of the %elchina river. The location is just south of the 62 line of latitude and between the 147 and 14S degrees of longitude.
 
 stream, having a large number of tri- butaries, among them being Albert, Billy. Sheep Afford. Sauaw. Shtina Divide and Kick creeks. The head waters of the Nelchina river being very close to the northern part of the Caribou. In turn the Nelchina runs into the Tazlina river near it's head waters.
 The railroad surveys of the line from Seward to the Matanuska coal fields gives the distance from Old Knik, near the mouth of Knik river on Knik arm. to Chicaloon. the terminus, as nearly 50 miles. From there eastward along the Chicaloon river to the mouth of Hicks creek the distance is 70 miles. It is nearly 15 miles up Hicks creek to Caribou creek and AL fred creek. Il is 10 mills or moro up Caribou to Alfred creek, making the total distance from Knik. 110 miles From mile 72 on the railroad. to which point construction has been made and which is known as Kern creek. it is 70 miles 10 Chickaloon. This would make the total distance to the new strike 190 miles from the end of rail- road construction, or 252 miles from Seward.
 The new field is possibly more &C., cessible from Cordova. The railroad can be used 131 miles to Chitina From there good grade and trail runs over to the Matanuska field. The railroad survey runs close to the gov ernment road from Chitina via Will low creek to Copper Center, 50 miles, From there 1t follows close to the Tag lima river 52 miles to the mouth of the Nelchina river. II is possibly 15 mues up that river to its headwaters and to Alfred creek. This route would make the trail distance from Chitina IT miles, or the total distance from SWUoVa, Zf0 mucS. OnOuIO iI De du- visable to continue along the railroad survey route from Nelchina river to tho mouth of Caribou creek. the dis tance would be 30 miles. It would be los miles up the creek to Alfred. and frem thare 10 miles to Albert. This would make the distance from Chitina ahDut 1s2 miles. By these figures 1t may readily he setn that if the new camp turns out toS be rich and extensive that it will bs accessible from both Seward and Cordova. People from the westward would naturally go by way of Knik. while those coming from the Tanana valiey would % via Copper Center.
