SETH MANN FAVORS
 ROADS IN ALASKA

Seth Mann, the personal represen- tative of the President on the recent Seattle excursion to Alaska, has de- clared emphatically his support of gov ernment aid for railroads in Alaska and for land laws that will permit peo- pie to secure title to lands.
 Upon his arrival at Seattle he said:
 What is most needed, in my Opin- ion, for the development of Alaska is transportation facilities and the formu- lation of land laws that will be adapt ed to conditions in Alaska, that are not different from those in the States. Transportation does not mean the construction of railroads alone, but the building and maintenance of suitable roads and trails. Some Alaskans have told me that wagon roads and trails are more necessary than railroads, for the reason that one of the principal ob- jects sought by the proposed trans portation facilities IS the encourage ment of prospecting. The great extent of Alaska is but partially conceived in the minds of map students, and while Alaska is generally admitted to be heavily mineraIized, yet only a small part has been prospected by miners.
 Farming in Alaska Succeeds.
 Viewing Alaska from an agricultur- al standpoint, I would say that the government experimental farms and private farms, especially those on the upper Yukon and in the Panama valley have demonstrated that the raising of vegetables is practicable. Barley, rye and oats can also be raised profitably, and probably a variety of alfalfa can be found that will be adapted to the climate, which will be suitable for win ter feed for cattle. Hay in the interior at the present time costs from S10O to $125 per ton.
 Many private farms are now self supporting, particularly around Fair banks. Vegetables are grown in abund- ance, cabbages and potatoes especial ly. Wheat has been matured, but it is a doubtful crop at present. The long days of sunshine bring the products of the soil to rapid maturity and the growth of few weeks is remarkable. There is no reason to doubt that Alas ka will be able to supply the agricul- tural needs of it's own population.
 Roads and Trails Needed
 "Reverting to the transportation problem. I repeat that a solution of this question will take care of the others. The roads and trails will act as feeders and the mail service will necessarily be greatly improved Nee essary amendments to the land laws would follow the construction of prop CT transportation lines.
 Government Will Mine Coal.
 "The cruiser Maryland met us at Seward and accompanied us to Valdez, enroute to Controller bay to take on 150 tons of Boring river coal. If the test to be conducted shows that the physical characteristics of the coal are such as to make it suitable for naval use, I can safely say that between 15O,OOO and 100000 tons of Boring river and Matanuska coal will be used on government vessels each year"

Pedro Rodregues for the same offense drew a $500 fine. August Anderson for the same crime was given a suspended sentence of a fine of $100.

ALASKA TRAVEL HAS
 TOUCHED NEW LEVEL

The travel to Alaska has touched new levels. The attractiveness of the Northland for a summer jaunt is be- ing realized more and more each sea son and the tourist throng increases cOrrespOndingly
 The immense advertising that the Territory has received through public discussion of plans for it's develop ment undoubtedly is responsible in no small measure for this condition.
 Many persons who never knew of Alaska save as a vague wilderness of snow and gold, are coming to realize that it is the future West Seattle Times.
