an Indian village on the shore or sal mon cannery, but the open country is just the same as when our era began. It has been rightly named the last frontier.
 One begins to notice that the sun. light fingers after the sun has set at home. ln midsummer one may read a newspaper on deck at 10 o'clock and at o'clock in the morning 1t is broad day
 The ship passed through Seymour narrows, where the tide runs like roaring river. Vessels time their ar- rival at the narrows so that, taking the passage at slack tide, the water is calm and peaceful. Across Queen Charlotte sound, where we felt the swell from the Pacific, and through passages that vii dened and narrowed at intervals, we came to Dixon's entrance aud were in- formed that we could take our first view of Alaska. That evening we drew up to the wharf at Ketchikan. Clinging to hillside like a starfsh to a wave swept rock, Ketchikan is one of the most picturesque towns in the North land. A copper mining district sur rounds it and the halibut and salmon fishing interests are extensive.
 The passengers went ashore while the Alameda was dischargng it's freight and spent an hour or two visiting the points of interest until the big whistle on the ship called them aboard.
 The snow on the mountains crept seaward as we went further north, un- til we were sailing between white man. tied islands and peaks. Standing on the upper deck of the steamship one had to but half close one's eyes to inn agine he was aeroplaning through snowy ranges of mountains. The shores had no shelving beaches. The woods came down to the waters edge and the foot of the mountains were lapped by the shimmering waves.
 Juneau, the capital of Alaska, is built on a narrow bench, backed by Mount Juneau, whose rugged bulk makes the little city look handful of children's blocks scattered on hillside Across Gastineaux channel We heard the migh- ty roar of the stamp mills at Tread we'll.
 After leaving Juneau we got our first view of great glacier The pale green tints of the distant ice fields of the Davidson glacier, where it pushed it's way through two mountains and de- bouehed upon the shore, held the en- tranced gaze of the passengers for an hour as we navigated Lynn canal.
 We passed Haines, where the famous Dalton trail into the interior began, and Fort William Henry Seward, the military headquarters for Southern AL aska, and presently arrived at Skagway, the wonderful boom town of the bon- anza days which sprang into being in the night. It is now the terminus of the White Pass and Yukon route and is the gateway to the Yukon country.
 In the early Klondike days thous. ands of gold seekers climbed White pass on their way to the bonanza mines. Just around point of land and at the head of an inlet is Dyea, where the famous Chilkoot pass trail began. Situated in basin surrounded by bulky mountains, Skagway is a won- derful city to one who is seeing Alaska

Scenic Alaska
As Seen From the Hurricane Deck on a Summer Excursion Cruise, by J. w.
 Gilbert

When the days get hot and you be- gin to suspect that you are overwork- ed, sidle up to your family doctor and ask him if he eau find anything in the books which would suggest a trip to Alaska. If he is a wise old doctor he will say yes. Then grab a couple of go away bags and hike for the dock where your ship will be waiting for you. Pres enuy you will be sailing among en- chanted islands on inland seas where the sun shines twenty hours a day and the cool breezes are tinctured with the enliveuing perfume of fir trees. You will watch the snows which enmantle the Cascades and the Olympics creep closer and closer to the water; you will see great ice rivers which have their sources among distant peaks discharg- ing into the sea, and range upon range of snowy mountains which resemble a great barrier to frighten away the tim id from seeking the treasure which you are told lies buried in the interior.
 Seeing Alaska from the deck of a steamship is a pleasant and restful va- cation. It takes two weeks to sail from Seattle to Seward and return, stopping at the various towns along the coast, and long before you get back you will forget that you have nerves and you will look forward to meal time with a yearniug that you haven't experienced since childhood.
 The Alaska cruise through the inside passage takes you through archipela goes where the mountains come down to the waters edge. The passage ways between the islands are frequently so narrow chat you could almost throw a stone ashore. The water is deep and clear and the banks are so steep that it would be possible in many places to moor a steamship to the shore.
 On the mountain sides, filling deep ravines, were the snows of winter Un- der the warming influence of summer sun, streams of water left the foot of the snow banks and leapedand plunged into the sea. These cascades, taking their long leap down the mountain side frequently end in mist or foam at the bottom. Sometimes it is a small river that comes from some lofty lake perch ed among mountain peaks, but usually the streams are brooks seemingly glad to escape from the grasp of winter and to return to their home in the sea.
 Occasionally sailing from behind a protecting island, the watcher catches sight of the broad Pacific. These stretches of open sea, with their gentle swell, give the tourist his drst idea of the voyage that will come after the ship has passed through Icy straits on it's westward turn.
 The wooded mountains and the glis- tening waste of snow that lies on dis tant ranges gives the landscape the ap- pearance of @ country 30 new and SO wild that it has not felt the effect of man. Sometimes the sightseer glimpses

 Statistics of the population of Alas ka, according to the census of 1910, are presented in detail in bulletin soon to be issued at Washington, D. C., by the bureau of the census, department of commerce. It was prepared under the direction of William o. Hunt, chief statisticiau for population. Statistics are presented for the territory, as a whole, relating to number of inhabit- ants, increase of population, color or race, nativity, parentage, sex, age, mari tai condition, state of birth of the na- tive population, country of birth aud year of immigration of the foreign-born population, males of voting and militia ages. citizenship, school attendance, illiteracy, inability to speak English, and number of dwellings and families. Statistics relating to sex and age for Indians of fullblood and of mixed blood, by stocks and tribes, also are given. All topics covered by the thir- teenth census are included except oc- cupations and ownership of homes.
 The Pioneers Home at Sitka will be ready fer occu pants July 9, according to the plans of the trustees, who met and organized in that city, July 4. The trustees, whc consist of Governor J. P. A. Strong, W. P. Mills and Rev. Sergius George Kostrometinof, selected rep resentative A. c. Shoup to act as the first superintendent of the Home, with out compensation. The furniture for the home has been ordered, and it is proposed to have it installed and ready for occupancy July 9. Several appli- cations for accommodations have al ready been received. The funds for the use of the home are limited to SlO,OOO and it is the purpose of the trustees and superintendent to make that go as far as possible. For that reason 1t has been decided to ask the people of AL aska to donate books for the library, and the newspapers will be requested to send copies of all their issues to 1t. Donations of other necessities would also be welcomed. The purpose of the trustees is to carry out the intention of the legislature and not conduct the home as a charitable institution, but to make those availing themselves of it feel that they are simply receiving a reward for the services they have done the territory in pioneering.

OLDHAM ISSUES PARDON.

Little Rock. March 25-Acting Governor Oldham, before leaving the office of Governor, reduced the sentence of James Harris, a Jefferson county murderer, who was in 1905 given AZ years in the penitentiary, to 21 years. His last official action was to grant pardon to Clay Gibson, convicted iu Greene county of murder in the second degree, and who has already served 16 years. This pardon was issued only a few minutes before the Supreme Court declared J, M. Futrell to be the legal holder of the office of Governor, and as it was for Greene County convict, and Act ing Governor Futrell i < from Greene county, is considered a bit of a slight to the new Acting Governor. As Oldham was not

URGED TO HOLD ON.

Little Rock, March 25-Just before he left the office of Cover nor. Acting Governor Oldham re- ceived letter from Dr. c. c. Ab- bolt of Pettus, a fellowtownsman of the retiring Acting Governor, urging him to hold on to the office and not call special election on account of the great cost to the people of the state. He stated it would cost each voter S1 on time, which would be S574 ,449, and the $2O,OOO the state would have to pay for the expenses of the cleo ton, would make the total $624,- 449, which is entirely to much to spend for a change in adminis> trations. Where the figures were procured none familiar with politics can state, for there nev- CT has been an election held in the history of the state when one third this number of votes has been cast.

BUSINESS MEN
 OF PRESCOTT.

Gentlemen
 On account of the rapid growth of the Boys Corn, Cotton and Canning Club work in this state find that in order to encourage the boys and girls of each Coun- ty, that some organization take up the work and offer induce ments along..all agricultural lines.
 Realizing that no town would refuse to permit factories com ing in their midst, or in fact any, thll g that would build up the town in any way, it occurred to me, that this being an agricul. tural country, that the average business man has not yet realiz- ed the importance of assisting in

NEXT GOVERNOR TO
 BE CHOSEN JULY g

Little Rock, March 25-The next Governor of Arkansas will be chosen July B, a proclama- ton to that effect being issued by Acting Governor J. Marion Fut- rell late Monday afternoon after he had consulted a number of state officials regarding the best time for the election to be held.
 T have given the matter much study" " stated Acting Governor Futr ell, in order to have the el- ection placed so the farmers may get their crops laid by in time to vote, and at the same time do jus tlce to all persons who may wish to lay their claims before the vot- CTS. The time, I think, is suffi- cient for the men who desire to make the race for Governor to get before the people, and on the other hand, to give the people a chance to look up the candidates and satisfy themselves which is the best.'
 The Democratic State Central Committee must now hold a meet ing and set the date for the pri- mary, which must be held in time to give the candidates 20 days in which to place their names on the ticket for the gen eral election. This will permit the holding of the primary dur ing the last week in March, and as the ticket will be short it will not take long to count the ballots, and the returns can thus be made early. If the primary is held on Saturday, the farmers will have a chance to vote even if they do not get their crops laid by at that time, for few of them do any work on Saturday after noon,
 No candidates have as yet made their announcements, but it is expected that Stephen $. Brund- idge of Searcy, X. O. Pendall of Little Rock, and Judge George W. Hays of Camden, will certain ly be in the race, with Associate Justice W. F. Kirby possibility.

the promotion of the agricultural interests of the county, No town should be without q corn club or Business Mems League, or some institution that has the isterest of the town and community at heart and is al ways ready to help their town and community when opportu- nity affords itself. To assist the farmers and the farmer boys and girls in every way possible to make the country better.
 The time has come when we will have to look after the far merS interests more than ever. and Mir Bryan said, that the towns could burn up and would build again, but let the farmers fail and the grass would grow in the streets of any town.
 A few years ago, Prescott could have gotten along very nicely without Commercial Club of some kind, but the time has come that your little city de- mands such an organization that will continually lay plans and look out for the best interests of your town. Such organizations are helping the Government De monstration work materially.
 It is impossible to help the far mers near your town without helping your town. Such an or ganization would mean a great deal just at this time.
 I would be glad to meet with the business men at any time they see fit for such an organiza tion.
 Yours very truly,
 c. W. Watson,
 State Agent.
