HOMESTEADS IN THE TANANA
 VALLEY

According 10 the records and fig. ures of the Fairbanks United States land office, which embraces in it's district the whole interior of Alaska, an estimated area of 100000 square miles, there are on this date only 55 homestead entries. They con 'ain an aggregate of 15,344.44 acres
 This office is comparatively new so far as homesteading is concerned. as the government surveys were not ap- proved and filed formally until this year. The first homestead entry was made February 12. 1914, by Alphonse Zehnder, and the last entry embraced is that of J. F. McGrath, November 26. 1914. Local officials estimate that S5 per cent of these homestead CTS have been living on their land the last two years and over. Some of them have been squatters, how ever, for four and five years, and have finely cultivated ranches. Under the laws all they have had to do is to prove three years residence and bona dde cultivation of the land to ob- tain patents to 32O acres. or the amount filed upon.
 The general homestead laws apply to the taking of land in Alaska as in the States, no special requirements or offers being made in the matter of proof So far the government sur veys have been very limited. but with the coming of railways larger appro- priations for this purpose are bound to be made and the area extended greatly. It is not possible to state ofhand how many acres of agricul- tural land there are in the Panama valley alone, but it will climb up in- to the hundreds of thousands. The government maintains large exper- ment farm or station near Fairbanks. full reports of which for several years back are available by writing the de partment of agriculture at Washing ton, D. c.

acter of the Past.

A youthful prospective bridegroom
has just begun an interesting expert
ment by taking a house in London
suburb and living alone with his pro-
spective mother-in-law a month before
the marriage.
Grave warnings from his friends led
him to do this to prove that the old
conventional idea that the mother-in-
law is necessarily menace to the
peace and happiness of household
has become myth.
II the experience Of the month Is
encouraging the mother-in-law will re-
main, and the next and more anxious
stage will begin after marriage. He
recognizes that the mother-in-law will
be on her best behavior but thinks
that month will give him a good In
sight into her character.
"The first week has passed off very
happily" he says, although we still
have the decorators in. The situation
is full Of hope because my mother.in.
law is sweet-natured woman, always
willing to compromise.

she tells me on the telephone not to
worry about getting home to a very

A REFORMED Thief

Burglar Bill breasted the storm
bravely. The lights of village were
directly ahead Of him, and he pressed
on through the deep fallen snow with
vision Of warmth, food and comfort
ahead.
Burglar Bill was reformed burglar.
That was the reason why he was in the
most deplorable condition of his life.
Hard as had been his luck for the past
week, he had a trade" that would
have brought him a ready income with
no other equipment than pair Of pin
GERS and skeleton key
But when Bill had left the peniten-
tiary, his sentence reduced one-half
through the kindly Intervention Of a
friendly and human chaplain. he had
made sacred promise never to break
q safe again"
1t had been hard work so far keep
ing that pledge. Bill had gone to the
city. Whenever he got honest work,
however, either the police exposed
him or old cronies came about the
place and got him into disrepute.
So now Bill was tramping about the
country, where his past was not
known. It was at bad season of the
year for work, and, caught in great
snow storm, he was now making his
way towards the nearest village.

Burglar Bill went around to the

knocked, and a stout, comely woman
answered his summons. Her sympa

she spoke, his forlorn aspect appealing
to her pity at once.

wonderingly.

Warden steadily. 81 have had trouble

Burglar Bill told his story in frag.
ments while he ate like a famished
man. Then bell summoned Mrs
Warden to another part of the house
and he was left alone.
"a fine woman, a true woman" he
unused gratefully. What comfort
after the long, hard tramp" And, well
fed and content, he snuggled down in
his chair by the warm, CHEEKY kitchen

He noted drowsily that the house
keeper passed through the kitchen. He
saw her return with an AK, and won
dered. He reused up in strange
amaze as soon thereafter there sound
ed from the upper part of the house
a vast thudding, crashing noise. II
was as if that AK was being used to bat
ter something to pieces.
Mrs. Warden came down into the
kitchen looking fiustered and breath
less, as though she had been under
going some very forcible exercise. She
came straight up to Bill and looked
him earnestly in the face.
You said you we're burglar" she
began.
