The Need Of Humus.

The waste straw on the farm, and
other foIms of farm refuse that contain
properties for the enrichment Of the
land, should be returned to the soil at
the earliest possible convenience after
the crop has been harvested. 1t is a
hard and tedious task to scatter straw
by hand. 1t should be spread evenly
over the land, and this can be done
only by machinery, to get the best
possible results. In hap-hazard farm
ing the slow and laborious method OF
spreading straw by hand probably will
prevail, if the necessary work is done
at all, but the modern farmer, who
realizes that time saved in labor is
true economy, will not depend on
manual labor to do what straw
spreader and horses can do not only
better but faster than by any other
method.
There is a money value in wheat
straw that can be saved to the farmer
by spreading the straw over his acres
and afterwards plowipg it under TO en-
rich the soil. Besides containing a
certain amount Of the three principal
plant food constituents which are nitro,
gen, phosphorus and potash, straw adds
humus to the soil and makes available
the rich store Of plant food already
there. Humus is rich in nitrogen,
the important building material out Of
which the gluten in wheat and grains
is constructed. When the humus de-
creases, the nitrogen also decreases,
and is lost out of the soil as we'll.
Humus aids the soil in retaining
moisture and to withstand the evil
effects Of drought. StrawY matter
plowed under aids the soil in resisting
the passage Of water to the surface,
where it is lost through evaporation.
While increasing the moisture holding
capacity Of the soil, humus also pos
sesses the power to lberate phosphoric
acid, which in this form becomes very
valuable as plant food. Some one has
said that he is a wise farmer who can
see and appreciate that the silent forces,
by timely direction and control, may
be made to minister to his wants and
to changesstoil to healthful, inspiring,
intelligent work."
Soil blowing on thin, sandy or over
cropped land can be prevented by
spreading straw TO cover new seeding
and young wheat. Straw won't blow
or drift, but has tendency to anchor
itself and holds the wheat. Many
farmers have saved their entire crop in
this way, besides leaving a mulch
which ccnserves moisture and furnishes
fertilizer value.
To maintain the original fertility Of
the soil is not hard matter, but to
increase the fertility it is absolutely
necessary to use every means possible
and to utilize all the forces at hand.
The silent forces" ol straw, man
ure aud other vegetable matter plowed
under will aid in giving a bountiful
harvest TO the farmer who plows and
plants and harvests with his brains.

Governor Major has disposed Of the
best appointments he is at present
to make and has promised
some jobs the legislature is to place at
his disposal. His lavors are going
only to democrats who favored him in
the nomination for governor.

Major and HadIey.

Governor Hadley was severely crit
icised by some ardent republicans be-
cause he did not cause Mr.. Hitler,
the labor commissioner, and Mr.. Mar
shall, the state beer inspector, both
appointed by Governor Folk, to resign
so that republicans might be appointed
in their stead; but those officials had
been confirmed by the democratic
senate and each had more than two
years to serve. Had they not been
confirmed, however, Governor Hadley
could not have consistently asked them
to give up their Offices for the sake Of
republicans who desired appointment.
The action Of Governor Major in
summarily preventing the confirmation
Of Mr.. Biggs as labor commissioner,
and the confirmation Of Mr.. Wilder as
beer inspector, each appointed by
Governor Hadley in 1911 for terms Of
four years, is in striking contrast with
the lenient and reasonable course Of
his republican predecessor. Major has
shown himself to be a rank, selfish
partisan with no regard for the rights Of
men not Of his own political faith.
Hadley was loyal 10 his party and to
his partisan friends but his rational
and reasonable view Of the public ser
vice and the rights Of men holding
commissions emitting them to four years
tenure OF Office showed that he was
more a patriot than a partisan.
And this comparison may be ex-
tended in connection with every official
act Of Hadley. From the very start he
exhibited broadminded conception Of
public duty. Major has exhibited a
narrow minded conception oI pub
lie duty from the day his election
was proclaimed. Extremely partisan,
he has shown no consideration for re-
publicans; and what consideration he
has shown for so-called progressives
has been equally partisan and narrow
because prompted by purpose TO aid
his own party. Nor has Major mani
tested decent spirit toward citizens o.
his own party who did not support hin
for the gubernatorial nomination. He
has ignored some Of the best men il
his party in order to reward men will
no political claim upon their party bu
who espoused his cause when he va
candidate for nomination. Leading
democrats who did not favor his nom
nation but who gave him loyal sup
port after he had been nominated hav
been treated with indifference.

IN THE HEART OF
 ALASKA TREASURE HOUSE

EG. Sawyer, city editor of the Se- attle Star, sends the following out to his paper from the Chisana gold diggings where he is now in it's in terests, was published in the Star O. Sept. 26th.
 Now the smoke is out of my eyes and I am losing my appetite for half-cooked beans seasoned with gravel, soggy hotcakes and raw ba- con, lets rant bit on stampeding on the trail as I sit here in camp at Chisana, the seat of the new gold fields of Alaska
 First of all, put gold on the list of poisons along with cocaine and opium.
 No victim of the seductive poppy juice, searching for 8 "shot in the arm, could be more irresponsible than a man stamped'ug for gold.
 Sixty streams to ford, 80 miles of swampy tundra to cross, 40 miles of gravel bars along glacial streams, 12 miles of goat trail over sharp crags and rough shale-slides, F miles of slippery mOraines and ice, with just six miles of good going through pine scrub-that's the trail the early stampeders travelled from Mccarthy to Chisana.
 Of course it is slightly different now, with 55 miles of wagon road and 25 miles of sledding over the ice, and soon it will be so miles of sledding, but with that, it's no sun day afternoon pleasure stroll.
 You don't walk to Chisana, you know-you "mush" there! And, af- ter pIodding over a few miles of tun' dra or moss a foot thick and ozzing with water, you appreciate to a nj cety the origin of that descriptive word.
 On sight there's something anus ing about a man stumbling over tundra in heavy boots in chase of q few young ptarmigan in an attempt to kill one with a club, but when you find out, from personal eXper' fence, that the mans life depends on his ability to hit the birds-or starve-you cease to see anything funny in his wobbling stride.
 In out-of-the-way spots all over men could be seen sleeping in the san. But what do they do on cold days?
 Well, it was '"cold days" and lack of food that drove 1,5OO of the first
The daily Alaskan., 1913-10-07
TERRIFIC WIND AIDED BY FIRE WRECKS NOME

to reach Chisana out of camp and "back home"-penniless.
 Speaking of food, the amount of that commodity consumed per day per men in Chisana is undoubt- edly greater than in any other gold field in Alaska, and THAT'S CO., ING SOME.
 The high altitude, together with the fact that trails around camp lead over rough ground, gives every one a GOOD appetite.
 In some camps they keep milli- gan stews going all the time-eat- ing them as fast as cooked.
 Six ptarmigan make a fair meal for two men, and a ptarmigan is about the size of a spring chicken.
 Some day when you haven't much to do, put so pounds of wheat in a sack and walk up stairs with 1t. Then you will realize the strength of those lads who packed that much over Scolai Pass and part Of the go- ing on "Scolai' is sleeper than a staircase!
 Of folly there is no end in this gold stampede. Only men insane with the lust of gold will try to ford glacial stream waist deep with a pack on their back.
 That only four were lost in the Nazena and Chitistone rivers was not the fault of the stampeders.!
 "The Dyea trail to the Klondike was a paved street compared to the goat trail over Scolai Pass after the blizzard of August 3O", said an old timer who ought to know. He crawl ed over Scolai on his hands and knees, digging holes in the ice with hunting knife.
 Easy money?
 THERE ISN'T ANY SUCH IN AL ASKA
 SOMEBODY PAYS FOR EVERY OUNCE of dust with his LIFE BLOOD!
 The only difference is, as I see it, that there is more chance for the poor man here than "outside"-the man with nothing put his two hands to help him win!
 ,,ut is i worth jail the hard ships, even fer $15,vGO, which some of the stampeders, the luckiest, have taken out?

ROYAL PULLEN IS
 STEADILY CLIMBING UPWARD

Word comes from Dawson of the appointment of Royal Pullen as as- sistent superintendent in the oper- ations of the Canadian-Klondike Mining company, for which he has been at work for several months. It is always a pleasure for us to note the advancement of a young man, and more especially so in the case of one like MT. Pullen, who Is, so to speak, a skagway product, hay ing lived here the greater portion of his life, and taken part and share in the yicissitudes and hardships incident to the settlement of from tier town, such as Skagway at that time was.
 During the summer months, when Mir. Pullen was in his teens, he worked on the docks, or at any thing he could find to do, to earn a dollar. In the winter he attended the University of Washington at Se- attle, and was graduated from there as a mechanical engineer last spring Shortly afterward he went to Daw son and secured employment with the Treadgold company, and his ser vices have been of such satisfac- tory nature that he has been stead fly advanced until he has reach- ed his present responsible position. We congratulate Mir. Pullen on his success success, and we congratu- late Mrs. Pullen, his mother, on be- ing. blessed with such a son.

REFUSE TO READ
 BIBLE IN SCHOOLS

Portland, Ore, Oct. 7-The city board of education has voted unan- imously against granting a petition of the ministerial association re- questing that the Bible be read without comment, in the public schools of Portland.
 A number of persons appeared be- fore the board for and against the adoption of the plan. Those oppos- ed did not deny the literary merit of the Bible, but expressed a fear the the teachers personalities or au- thority might influence the schol- ars' minds.
