Annual Report of Alaska
Experiment Station

The u. S. Department of
Agriculture has recently issued
the Annual Report of Alaska
Agricultural Experiment Stations
for 1912.
In the minds Of many. Alaska
means a land of snow and ice
with only the scantiest vegeta-
ton; to such a reading Of the re-
port named above will be found
worth while. Of especial inter-
est are the pictures showing
fruits grown in Alaska. These
pictures are reproduced from
photographs and clearly show
that Alaska is by no means a
bleak and barren land.
The Alaskan farmer is more
dependent upon the sunshine
than the farmer in the States;
inbeed the success or failure OF
his crops is determined to a large
degree by the abundance or lack
of sunshine during the growing
season. The work of the Alaska
experiment stations is largely
concerned with efforts to adapt
crops to the peculiar climatic
conditions.
A feature of especial interest
in this report is the account of
the results Of the eruption of
Mount Katmai. 1t will be re-
membered that from June 6 to
June 5, 1912, there was fall of
volcanic ash from Katmai Vol
cano. This volcano is about 80
miles west Of Kodiak where a
station is maintained for expert
ments in livestock breeding. AS
a result of the eruption the sta
ton herd had to be brought to
Toppenish, Washington, to pass
the winter, since it was found
more economical to bring the
cattle to a food suppuly than to
take a food supply to the cattle.
While the first effect of the
volcanic eruption were disastr-
Gus. the report states that it will
eventually prove a blessing in
disguise, since the ashes have
made cultivation Of the land
much easier.

SUBSCRIPTION So. 90, In advance.

If you have got a crouch on,
if you have been acting mean
towards your neighbors, if your
mouth is full of cuss-words, and
you feel sure that, while your
good old grandfather back east
used to read, ''The meek shall
inherit the earth and de-
light themselves in the abund-
ance of peace" the Devil has
inherited Arizona, we have a
sure cure for you which will
cost you only a quarter.
But maybe you haven't been
acting mean. Maybe you have
only been playing the good
Samaritan to an audience of
blockheads who fail to appreci-
ate your genius and applaud
your efforts, till your anatomy
is covered with sore spots.
Or maybe you are a pretty
decent citizen and are earnestly
looking out for signs that the
corporations are not riviting the
last shackles on nation of slaves
nor the labor unions preparing
to substitute murder for work.
But maybe you know that you
are not the only decent citizen,
and haven't like Elijah told the
Lord that you are the only man
on the river who hasn't bowed
the knee to Baal.
When you come in we will
give you the glad hand, assume
that you are the decent citizen
and sell you one hundred old
Arizona newspapers for quar-
ter. Now don't look ugly when
you read this-let us explain.
These papers are our exchanges.
We get twenty or so of them
every day, and they are full
brimming full of good things
that are well worth reading even
when several months old. They
tell you things you ought to
know They will broaden your
vision. They will help you to
savvy" that out here in the.
Arizona desert you are right now
in the midst Of an empire in the
building.
Your wife can cover the shelves
with fresh paper. the baby can
cut out the pictures, the children
can get acquainted with Gloomy
Guss, the boys will read about
the base ball fans, you will learn
something new about your neigh
bors and the quarter will go to
fill a vacant spot in our cost ac-
counting system.
Besides you may find out that
you would like to subscribe for
some of them.

Work on Yuma Bridge
Will Commence at Once

The guarantee of California S
share of $25, 900 towards the
building of the Yuma bridge
across the Colorado river was
made yesterday by the Imperial
county supervisors, backed by
San Diego and Los Angeles
county subscriptions. Arizona
and the Government each has
$25, 900 put up, which completes
the amount the bridge will cost.
Construction work will begin al
most Immediately, says the San
Diego Uuion of September I6.
Col. Ed Fletcher, chairman of
the local committee that raised
San Diego's portion Of $1,000 for
the bridge, returned from Ell
Centre this morning. Fletcher
was accompanied to Ell Centre by
Ferdinand Thum of Pasadena
and Ed Haupt of Los Angeles,
friends of San Diego. Los Ange-
les was represented at the meet
ing of the Imperial county super
visors by C. E. McStacy and l.
M. Parker, engineer of the Auto
mobile Club of Southern Califor-
MIA who also were in the same
party.
Los Angeles subscribed $6450
to the bridge fund. Imperial
county supervisors appropriated
$1,000 and the remainder of Cali
forLia's share was raised in the
towns of Imperial county.
Col. Fletcher says San Diego
is now practically assured of the
Southern National Higway. The
counties Of Arizona will vote
SIS, 600, 600 in bonds to connect
up the highway from Yuma
to Phoenix and to New Mexico.
Yuma county will vote $500, 600
road bonds next month. Fletcher
reports that supervisor of Yuma
county told him that had the
Yuma bridge fallen down. the
bond issue might have been kill
ed and public opinion would have
been toward the Needles route
to Los Angeles for which Los
Angeles has been hard at work.
THE Los Angeles boys did
good work and | was pleased to
have the privilege Of working in
harmony with Them" said
Fletcher.
The board of supervisors of
Imperial county expressed much
gratitude by our action and their
explanation satisfied us that what
we have done was necessary in
order to secure the Yuma bridge.
Never before have | seen I'm
perial county so enthusiastic for
San Diego.
The roads are in fine condition
better than | have ever seen
them. We made the run over in
six hours with comfort. Our re-
turn trip to Pine Hills last even
ing was delightful.
Referring again to the Yuma
bridge will say that the psyche
logical moment was at hand in
my opinion when we undertook
to raise this money; we have
secured the friendship forever of
Imperial county and Yuma. Our
successful effort will bring US the
national highway and as we'll
marvellous returns for our efforts
to help the cause of good roads"
Aside from their efforts on be-
half of the Yuma bridge, the
board of supervisors of Imperial
county have decided to purchase
$500, 600 worth of the state high
way bonds so that the state can
Immediately build the highway
from Ell Centro to Mountain
Springs, where San Diego boost
ers finished up this end of che
highway last spring.
