turned over on it's side after strik-
ing telephone pole. Boxes Of candy
were thrown about in confusion and
the wagon almost wrecked. The
horse was caught and turned over to
the driver. An ther wagon was Sc
cured from William Penton and the

THE METAL PRODUCTION OF
ALASKA DURING PAST YEAR
Output for 1912 Valued at More Than
twenty-five Million Dollars

The United States Geological Sur
vey has just issued, as an advance
chapter from Mineral Resources oil
the United States" a report by Alfred
H. Brooks on the mine production Of
precious and semiprecious metals in
Alaska in 1912. Metalliferous mining
in Alaska, says Mr.. Brooks, made i'm
portant advances last year. Although
the output of gold placers was less
than in 1911, the installation OF large
plants, notably Of dredges, in many
districts is encouraging for the future
of this industry. More important was
the progress made in lode gold min
ing, the output of which was greater
than in previous years. Copper min
ing also advanced, partly because sew
eral large plants increased their output,
partly because a number OF small
mines were developed on account OF
the high price of copper.
The development of the coal fields
still awaits the establishment of a def
mite policy in regard to the disposition
of the public coal lands. The delay
in securing cheap fuel for the Territory
has now for many years caused stag
nation in many industries. Railway
construction and, to certain extent,
railway operation have stopped and
many mining enterprises have been
hampered if not entirely abandoned on
account of the uncertainty as to the
fuel problem. Very few Alaskans have
any direct interest in coal claims or in
mining, but the entire population Of
the Territory is DESTROYS of seeing the
coal fields developed, because it is
believed that this will bring about ad-
vancement in many other industries.
Above all, it will encourage the opera
ton and the construction of railways,
which are all important to the territory.
The total mine production Of gold,
silver, and copper in Alaska in 1912
was valued at 22,285,821. against
S2O,5O5,664 in 1911, an increase Of
$1,78O, 158. The value of the gold
production of Alaska last year is esti-
mated at SIT, ISL, that of silver
at $316,83 In 1911 the output of
gold was valued at $16,853,256. The
copper output of Alaska for 1912 was
29,230, 491 pounds, valued at $685.
031, an increase from 1911 of 1862
613 pounds.

II Acres Sold for $16,5OO

Benjamin Golden Of Elkins, West
Virginia, has just purchased the or
chard and home of Gustave Brandt at
Cashmere, consisting Of II acres. 1t
is understood that the consideration
was $500 per acre. The deal was
closed by c. H, Moye OF the Cash
mere Real Estate Exchange.
The orchard is five years old and
the varieties are Winesap, Delicious,
Spitzenberg and few Jonathan. Mr..
Golden was assisted in making his Sc
lection OF purchase by one OF the
professors from the agricultural col
lege.
Possession of the orchard will be
given to the buyer next May. Mean
while Mr.. Golden will enter the state
college at Pullman to take the winter
course in horticulture. He has never
had previous experience in orcharding
and desires to improve the interven-
ing time by learning what he may
about irrigation and horticulture.
Mr.. Golden had a prosperous mer-
camille business at Elkins, city OF
5000 inhabitants, but his health failed,
and he sought an open air life. Moth
ing presented was more attractive than
growing apples in the most favored
valley of the world. He has several
friends back east who are contempla-
ting removal to this valley in the near
future.

MANY ARE INTERESTED
IN ALFALFA CAMP AIGN
Advance Man Believes 10000 Addi-
tiOnaI Acres Will Be Planted
Next Year

AS a result of the Holden alfalfa
campaign 10 be conducted in the In.
land Empire for a period of 40 days,
commencing September "a, Charles
M. Carroll, advance manager for Pro-
fessor Perry G. Holden, expects an in
crease Of S8,000,O00 in the annual
feeding Of the products Of Inland En-
pire farms.
Il believe this campaign will result
in the planting of 10000 acres to al
falfa in this territory" states Mr.. Car
roll. Each acre will produce at least
four tons, making 400, 900 tons. NJ
merous tests by agricultural colleges
in all parts of the country have fixed
the feeding value OF alfalfa at from $40
to $22 per ton. Taking the smaller
figure, we are justified in believing
that this crop will have feeding value
of $8,o00,000 per year right on the
farm, without the expense, time and
worry Of marketing.
"Of course we can not place such
limit on the possible, results of this
campaign. The benefits are sure to
be cumulative. Many farmers will
plant alfalfa the next year or two, and
others will follow suit from year to
year.
THE foregoing figures suggest won
derful possibilities in the line of feed
ing thousands of head of cattle and
other live stock in the Inland Empire.
This would mean adding millions of
dollars to the agricultural output of
this section, and greatly increased gen.
eral prosperity in which all would
share.

Bankrupt Seattle Merchant Imprisoned

Honest merchants and the business
men of the state see in the conviction
and sentence OF D. Thurman, a bank
rupt merchant of Seattle, by the fed
eral jury, an epoch-marking step in
the raising of the business ethics Of
the state. This conviction is the first
in Washington on the charge Of con-
cealing assets from the trustee and
Thurman was sentenced to fourteen
months in the federal prison. Similar
cases have been tried before but no
convictions have resulted. The good
results that are expected to follow this
conviction, which has now set a def
mite precedent, will no doubt mean
the future punishment of all cases Of
of this sort, and upright
business men see in it a definite en-
couragement to higher standards of
business policy. Much credit for the
conviction OF Thurman is due to the
efforts of United States District At
torney Chas. F. Riddell, who followed
the case with painstaking diligence
and with the determination Of punish
ing the defendant if found guilty.

Physical Valuation of Railroads

. In discussing the subject Of ply
steal valuation of railroads, Progressive
Leader Murdoch recalled the state
ments of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, that the total railroad
mileage in this country is 100000,
and that a proper physical valuation
would cost $75 a mile, which would
make the entire work aggregate be-
tween $18, 100000 and $40, 100000.
1t was brought out through the
speeches in Congress that each mile
of railroad is to be surveyed and ap-
praised, and field squads are to go
over and view every foot of the railroad
properties in the United States, and
thereby determine what part are really
property, or merely figured in as wa
tered stock" Strange as it may seem,
some people deny that the railroads are
over-capitalized, and one of the great
national leaders, Mr.. Mann expresses
this belief, basing his judgment upon
the fact that metropolitan terminal ia
cilities have increased so far in value
beyond the original cost as to more
than Offset whatever may have origin
ally existed in over-capitalization,
bonds, watered stock, preferred stock,
and so forth.
