TANANA WOULD BE TERMINUS OF THE
 ALASKA RAILROAD
Continued from Page One.

ment steamers would be called upon 10 do all the freishtins for the military post On the other hand, II the road reaches the Yukon. then all the government transports would continue in use and the building of new. light draft transports would not be necessary.
 If the road were constructed so as to cross the Yukon al the Rapids. a point about thirty-five miles above the mouth of the Panama. the cost of bridging would be extremely low. owing to the great natural abutment1 and 10 the extreme narrowness of the river at that point. In addition, [ ese great natural piers are high enough that no drawbridge would est steamers 10 pass. These banks are of solid rock and rise almost perpendicularly If the rails were 70 bridge at that point and then run to Tanana. the road would terminate at the point at which il would be of greatest service to both large and small steamers and would serve the Territory in much more ef- ficient manner than it would be pos sible to serve il by terminating a, any other point in the entire Terri. tory.
 By reaching Panama. the road would open up vast region lying 10 the west and north of the Yukon. Most especially would 1t be of in- calculable benefit to the rich placer mining fields of the Koyukuk. which fields are almost due north of Tana ma. The koyukuk has the richest placer sions as high as ten thousand dol lars in coarse gold has been found at the bottom of eight to ten foot shafts. For many years this koyukuk dis trict has been sure and steady producer. and all indications are that it will be greater and greater as time elapses.
 If said region is such a valuable producer when freight rates via wat CT are $500 per ton to land freight at the mines. what is 10 be ex pected when freight is comparatively low?
 For eight years mail has been carried from Panama to Arctic City a distance of one hundred and twen- ty miles. and then another 15O miles 10 the various mining claims. An other contract has been let for car. rying this mail for the next four years It is carried over trail on which the government has not ex- pended more than approximately $200. A region which is forging to the front as rapidly as this one,

is the ranch of A. J. Campbell. It contains 320 acres, MT. Campbell having taken up a timber claim along with his homestead rights. He now has a completely equipped ranch as far as the necessary buildings are concerned as well as having some of tle modern time saving macinery. On the Campbell ranch this sum mer there are 90 acres of oats and several acres of vegetables.
 John Kehoe, another Panama farmer. has his ranch about two miles from town on the winter trail 10 the koyukuk He located his nlace about six years ago. It com prises about 160 acres, 40 acres of which he has cleared without felp 10 acres cleared there are about 25 acres in oats. potatoes and cabbage, which Mr. Kehoe says, will do very well this year. He has already eN nerimented with several grains and expects to put in considerable qcreage of barley and rye next sea son and he may also try wheat.
 Excepting the fact that large quan- titles of the aforementioned crops have already been raised and that it has therefore been demonstrated
The Alaska citizen., 1914-10-12

is undoubtedly to be consi idered in the progression of the building of the railroad Though these camps would be greatly benefited if the term mus were at Panama. there is still another fact to be considered.
 In the future the Koyukuk coun try is 10 be opened up, for nothing can retard its onward progress. In comparatively short time ade- guate roads must and will be bull With the rails reaching as far as Panama. when the koyukuk comes into its own there will be a neces5- ity of extending the road into that portion of the Territory. The stra- tegic point, Panama, will already have been reached Moreover. Tana ma is the only logical point from which rails can go into the Koyukuk All passenger traffic between the Koyukuk and Fairbanks passes through Panama. During the past year more than score of people were forced to travel over the trail from the former to the latter place in order 10 attend court Tue incon- venience is almost inconceivable, but some idea may be gained when il IS learned that this trail is over 100 miles and there are no roadhouseS between here and the kovukuk.
 "It is undoubtedly of the very highest importance that the feaslbjl- ity of Panama as a terminus should be investigated It is highly desir- able that your lieutenants investigate the statements herein made Per sonal investigation by your engineers of the advantages here claimed, will be greatly appreciated.
 Thanking you for any considera- tion you may give the enclosed sug- gestions. l am,

FARMERS ARE IN EVIDENCE
 AT TANANA

Wherever the tide of civilization leads him tte pioneer American farmer is always to be found and Alaska is no exception to the gen eral rule. In fact as soon as gold diggings of importance were found in the North many who had been farmers in the States, but who had turned toward mining as an occl- patton. forsook the gold digging and returned to the old love" as Ii were. by starting the tillins of the virgin Alaskan soil.
 After they had determined upon farming as their vocation these farm CTS. or great many of them. settled on homesteads nearest to the town or place which presented to them Panama has her quota. there being no less than dozen homesteads staked within less than half as many miles of this city. Some of them are located along the river. while there are others but short distance back from the waterfront proper or within the city limits of the town
 Everything which the statistics show grows in any other part of Interior Alaska, Is to be found on these Panama ranches. Tn fact most of the farms of the vicinity of Tana- na are located on high grounl which has such good drainage that the crops here are considered better than those grown on the more marshy soil of other places.
 On the ranches around Panama T large acreage of land is now under

cultivation while many more acres are cleared and waiting for the time when they shall be needed Most Of the cultivated ground has been crop ped for from six to ten years, but so far has shown no sign of wearing out This. as one farmer explains it, is the result of careful study of the soil and the rotation of crops necessary to the preservation, of its producing element.
 Crops raised at Panama consist chiefly of vegetables at the present time. However, several of the farm CTS have experimented with the r31s- ing of grain and have been so suc- cessful that they now raise mos' If their winter stock feed. CultiVa'- ed fruits. such as berries. etc. arc as yet in the experimental stage, being almost entirely under glass, but it is believed that varieties hardy enough for the outdoor climate Will one day be evolved. In the mean time nature supplies all of the wild berries needed there being people at Panama. as well as at othei Alaskan towns. who make winter arubstake picking berries in the sum mer time.
