Power Of the Opium Habit.

In the American Magazine former
newspaper man, who became a victim
Of the opium habit and Is now con-
Vict in penitentiary, writes dramat-
tc account OF his experiences with the
drug. He gives as follows his idea OF
the power Of the habit:
II do not believe that any man With
en- opium or morphine habit Of years
standing can deny himself the drug If
It is within reach.
II do not believe that any man, no
matter what his previous character
may have been. can use opium contin-
uously and not have the impulse to be
crooked He may not be crooked, he
may lack the nerve or the necessity to
steal, but the impulse will be there,
and If it ever becomes a question Of
theft or a habit he win thieve. This
is the history Of every opium smoker
have ever known"

FARMING IN ALASKA.

The Possibilities Of That Territory
and What Can BE Grown.
So far as topography, soil and cl-
mate determine the matter, Alaska has
probably 100000 square miles OF area
on which there are possibilities for
farming and grazing. The larger por-
ton Of the farming land is in the in
terior, in the Yukon drainage, according
to the department OF agriculture's new
bulletin, entitled Possible Agricu1tur-
al Development Of Alaska"
Currants, raspberries, gooseberrieS,
strawberries, blueberries and cranber-
RES are plentiful in Alaska. Varieties
Of wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes
and many other vegetables have ma
tured every season since the depart
ment started its work at its two most
northern experiment stations. The de-
partment has four stations. One is on
the Yukon within seventy-fve miles Of
the arctic circle, another is also in the
interior, while there is one in the
southeastern and another in the south
western portion Of the territory.
It has been positively demonstrated
that forage crops may be grown in the
southwestern and central portions as
well as potatoes and other garden veg
etables. Chicken raising is also prov
ing feasible. It has also been estimat-
ed that a great number Of farm prod
ucts are shipped in that might easily
be raised on the ground.

citing so many optimistic facts, also

warns the homesteader that there are
many difficulties to be encountered.
On the south coast, where the CHI
mate is mild, hllable land is scarce be-
cause Of the proximity Of the noun
tains to the shore line. Elsewhere in
Alaska the winters are long and very
cold, and frostproof buildings must be
provided for shelter Of family and
stock.
The swampy character of much of
the surface Of Alaska makes it a great
breeding ground for mosquitoes and
gnats, which are almost intolerable
pests to both man and beast. It also
makes drainage a prerequisite in Or
der to remove the surplus water so
that the land can be worked, raise the
temperature of the surface soil, lower
the frost line, facilitate the decay OF
the accumulated organic matter and
bring about chemical changes which
will transform the soil from very
acid condition to one much less SO.
Nature requires much time for this
last process.
Where the vegetable Accommodations
are largely moss this must be destroy
ed either by burning or by cartng It
from the land, for If 2Iowed under it
decays very slowly and seems to have
an injurious effect on most crop plants.
The timber growth, which occurs
on practically all the land suitable for
ttllage, must, Of course, be cleared from
the land.
All this work-building houses and
barns, draining, clearing land OF moss
and dmber-is very slowly accom-
plished in the short outdoor working
season If done single handed by the
homesteader and costly, almost pro
hibitively so if hired labor is used, be
cause Of the high wages and living ex-
penses.
Lack of general transportation which
would open up the country, OF local
wagon roads, schools, churches and
other features OF present day life and
of the markets in which to sell farm
products and from which to obtain
home supplies and farm equipment
are deterrent features at present, but
they will disappear in time.
The federal homestead laws extend
TO Alaska, excepting that, instead Of
16O acres, $40 may be fled upon. Very
little OF the available land has beer
surveyed, but that work is now =
progress. One may locate on unsur
veyed land. file claim and establish
