Punfa Gorda's Trucking Industry

Is COHpdIuhNOiJ S'
dustry here, the business for the
past few years having been rather
of an experimental character. The
first corners here were mostly fish
ermen and merchants who knew
but little about gardening and did
not care to embark in the busin-
ess, while people coming later
found no object lessons to show
them the adaptability of the soil
to the cultivation of vegetables.
An occasional successful expert
ment, however, began to convince
our people of the superior advan-
tages of this location for growing
vegetables, that not only is the
soil eminently adapted to their
cultivation, but the immunity
which we enjoy from injurious
frosts insures the successful pro-
duction of all kinds of vegetables
throughout the winter months,
when in other less favored Sec
lions the liability to severe frost
makes winter gardening uncertain
and precarious.
After it was thus demonstrated
that virtually all kinds of vege-
tables could be successfully and
proftably grown here throughout
the winter, people began to buy
lands and embark in the business
on a small scale. One result was
that lands just south of the town,
previously considered OF little
value and offered at $3.50 to 3d.
90 an acre, almost Immediately
advanced in price to $4,000 and
$4,000 an acre, and we doubt OF
any of them can now be bought
for less than $4,000 an acre.
Notwithstanding the proof fur
nished of the adaptability OF the
soil and the unsurpassed advan-
tage Of. our mild climate, the
trucking industry has by no
means reached proportions COM
mensurate with the opportunities
and advantages presented and is
now limited to the cultivation
of less than a hundred OF the
thousands of acres suitable for
the business. In fact, the total
number of acres now in cultiva-
ton is only one hundred.
Less than a dozen gentlemen
are engaged in the business. The
names of these and the acreage
planted by each have been furn-
ihed THE HERALD through the
kindness of DIR. Mcqueen and
Senator Cooper. They are as fol-
low:

Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA. FEB. ,7, 1914.

It certainly Segins to look Ike busi- ness when things have gorn so faI
 with Nome's harbor that the rivers and harbors committee Of ihc house of representatives ia willing t1 include In it's appropriation estimates the clause providing for funds with which the army engineers can go ahead with the work of making the survey and re: porting on the most feasible plan for providing a safe anchorage for the lighters and small craft which will from now on be coming to Nome in greater and greater numbers.
 We should all be thankful for this evidence that Nome has not been en- tsrely overlooked in the ks6srN boost given the territory by the present con RI ess. Perhaps VIC wish that the thing lad been undertaken before and that with the influx of people and trade next summer we could have the harbor already provided.
 But we should not grumblc even if we do have to put up with things as tkey are in the shipping line for little longer. Nome has managed tO do pretty we'll in the past with nothing but the beach and tho overhead trol- ley and We can very probably get along with them for yet n little while
 The main thing is that we have hccn noticed md our needs cxphi cd to congress In such way that the at- tention of the river and harbors com
 tee has been aroused. It has been aicused to the extent of the chairman having said that the money for the survey would he made available in the appropriation hill about to bc reported.
 Of course the bill has not passed tho house and the senate has not shown it's hand in regard to the ques- ton of a harbor. but judging from the manner in which the rest of the AL aEka legislation has been handled in Washington this winter there should b.. no objection to the passage of the bill with the Nome feature in 1t.
 If 1t is found that at the last minute ruy member of the house or senate makes serious objection to this provis- for of the hill it will mean hut one thing. that there are influences at work which do not want to see the country hack of Nome. the country upon which stme of the prosperity of Nome de- ponds. opened up--yet.

From information received yesterday it seems almost certain that the AL Alaska weepstakes race would he run
 this year as usual.
 There was a time, when things were
 lecking a little down" when it was
 feared that this annual and distinctive
 ,y Nome event. might have to be pass
 ed over this year in view of the gen.
 eral air of Encouragement which seem
 ed to have invaded the town with the erding of the summer and the coming of the storm.
 But all of that feeling of discourage mtnt is passing away with the passing o. the winter days. The things of last year are being put where they belong ir. the dead limbo of the past. and we are all facing the future with the cour age which will insure better year in
 1914 than we had in 1913.
 One of the very best signs of tho times is the fact that this great an nral race is not tu he allowed to fall by the waysidc as one of the events Of the year.
 This race Is waited for outside with almost as much interest as it is watch cd for in Nome and it's running Is one of the very best advertisements that the town can possibly have.
 When the grand prix is run in Paris men hang over the tickers in tho clubs and cafes of New York and watch for the results. When the great Ieiby is run in England men hang over the tickers in New York and watch for the results and when the Ail-.al- nska weepstakes race is run here men hang over the tickers in New York and watch for the results.
 Ii Is Nome's day. or Nome's days. throughout the country. and it is bet ter than the grand prix in Paris or the lerby in London in that 1t lasts longer md therefor keeps the attention of tho we rld focused longer on Nome.
 Tint Is the ono thing that VIC should all he striving for from now on. t' keep the attention of the world, or as much of t as wc can attract. fixed, rivitcd. on Nome We want all of the a we can get We will pay for what VIC can n:ord to pay for an'l we must beg. borrow or steal tho rest. Tut we must have 1t. and lot of 1t. for 1t is the one and only sure road to tho great future that We all desire Ia see and that we all will work to at ta In.
 Nothing In the world should now stand In tho way of Nomc's ono great chance to get started along the steady path of growth and permanent pros- perity. Neither political parties or po- liticai cliuues nor any other interests should be allowed to stand in the way of Eomes advancement.
 Thcrc should hc no ciidues or suh- ivIsions or even parties in Nome for tho next few years. It does not make my difference whether we he at heart republicans ar democrats or progrcs- sives or belong to the party "f Lydia l.. pinkham or Emilinc rankhurst. there should bc but one party in Nomc. the party or Nome or FOR Nome. II will not hurt anyone to sacrifice hi. political feelings to the extent of putting the party of Nomc ahead of th, political party. It will bc unfor- turate. perhaps, hut unavoidable. if ia farthcring the interests of Nome 1t 's necessary to sacrifice even party off, ciais. ns we'll as party feelings.

CLAFLlN COMPANY TO
CONTINUE BUSINESS
May Be Continued AS Buying
Agent for String of
Retail Stores.

New York. June 3O.-Creditors. who
have been working on plans to clear
the tangle caused by the failure of the
Il. B. Claflin company. were to meet
in various committees today to hear
reports on progress made and to out
lin proposals for the reorganization
Of the company. Some OF the merchan-
disc creditors and a few bankers ex-
pressed an opinion that a plan of re-
organization on a system that would
make the wholesale store here a pur-
chasing and distributing center for the
Glaflin retail stores in this country and
Canada would be an excellent plan of
reorganization.
1t is said that more than $4,000, coo
OF the notes OF the Claflin company are
in the hands of the note holders conl-
mittee. This is about a third of the
total said to be outstanding. This COM
m;ttee is working to get banks
throughout the country to deposit their
notes and full reports from the deposit
tories in Boston, Chicago and st. Louis
are expected early this week.

PLAN TO CONSOLIDATE
CHILD WELFARE WORK

Philadelphia, June 30.-The members
Of the United States commission on In
dustrial relations which is holding
hearings in this city are giving serious
attention to a plan for the welfare of
children of school age who are en-
ployed in industries.
This plan provides for the creation
OF state bureaus or department of child
relations. The commission intends to
present 1t to those at the hearings that
1T Will hold throughout the country
with a view of recommending a model
law for the states.
The main object of the plan is to
prlng all work done for children en-
ployed in industry under one organiza-
ton instead of having it scattered
Q various departments of state
ard city governments. The proposed
bureau or department would maintain
o school census and enforce regularity
OIL attendance, issIe licenses to minors
engaged in street trades; issue employ
ment certificates and supervise the
child during the first two years in in
dustry. establish vocational guidance
work to fit Industrial conditions of a
community; help the child to get placed
IN the industry in line with it's choice:
look after the delinquent defective and
dependent n take charge of the medal
inspection service of the schools.
Such a department would be organ
lied as a distinct branch of the state
department of education with a di-
reetlng head co-equal to the head of
The public school organization of the
state.
