 A Fairbanks paper makes the state meut that all employees of the White Pass system are required to contribute 8 a month to the war fund. Supt.

 Reports from various game wardens all over the territory show that big game is growing scarce in Alaska The territory is SO large that the present force of game wardens cannot possibly cover every part. The miners and In- dians are usually careful not to shoot any more game than is needed for their immediate purposes Tbis is not al ways true of hunters who come from the outside and are given permits. -Ex.

 Oscar Wallen leaves tonight on the Princess May for a soiourn in the States, says the SkaRway Alaskan. To a casual peruser of the above state ment, this may not be a very startling one, but to Mir. Wallen it is the event of a lifetime. It is the greatest event of his life, outside of his advent into this vale of joys and sorrows, for it means that he is to see the great out side for the first time in bis existence Twenty-eight years ago Oscar was born in Douglas, and since that time he has travelled as far north as Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, as far south as Ketch' ikan, as far west as Cordova and as 10 the east, Juneau is as far as his wan derings have ever carried him toward the rising of the sun. During his life spent in the North Mir. Wallen has always been a thrifty and industrious young man, spending much of his leisure time in study, and when he goes out and mingles with the world it will not be surprising if he shows no signs of having lived his life away from all that enters into the hum and hustle of the great conters of commerce and in dustry. It is the intention of the young Alaskan to return to his native heath early in the spring, and again resume his position among the meu who are building this great empire.

The fact that the pumps are being drawn at the Pueblo mine, which sus- pended mining and shipping operations month ago, does not "listen" we'll. But it is a plain matter of business. Of what use would it be to continue to mine copper when there is no market for that product? TEe war in Europe has practically closed the copper mar kets of the world and until such time as copper is in greater demand, there will be no sale for it. The Pueblo is a wonderful property and will not long remain inactive after the copper market Whitehorse Star.
 A representative of the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad recently visited Skag- way and gave the following information to the Daily Alaskan: "The Grand Trunk is now operating two through trains each week between Prince Ru- pert and Winnipeg, with sleepers aud
 
 diners attached, the run each way being made in 72 hours Next year it is thought that a daily service will be maintained. People on their way to the East via Skagway from either Alas ka or the Yukon territory can save 48 hours in time aud Sll in cash by de barking from the boat at Prince Ru. pert and taking the Grand Trunk rail. way, for the fare To all points East over the railway from there is the same as that charged over tIanscontinental lines from Vancouver and Seattle, while the fare between Skagway and Prince Rupert is only SIG, as against S3O to Seattle. Although during the early stages of the European war our boat service was discontinued between Prince Rupert aud Seattle, it has since been resumed and it is further coutem plated by the Grand Trunk manage ment to put on line of steamers from Prince Rupert to Southeastern Alaska and Northern British Columbia ports" !"
 The people of Ruby are mad as can be because the White Pass company charged them S8O875 for transporting a diamond drill from Nome to their town. The Ruby Record-Citizen says: "Iu due time the board of directors of the Ruby Development company was notified by the agent of the White Pass company that said keystone drill had arrived and was ready to be turned over to said development company when freight bill from Nome to Ruby was paid, which bill was only S8O8.75. The directors, it is said, staggered just a little when this announcement was made, but as the entire camp is stag gering under the same load, they de- cided to pay this bill to the robber barons, as the drill must be had. In doing SO, however, they appeal to every citizen who has advanced a dollar in this cooperative enterprise. to every man, woman and child who has the in- terest of this camp at heart, and to every Alaskan of the Interior and all their friends on the Coast and the Out side to swear vengeance on this trans portation monopoly, as the White Pass company, or any other name, and make a VOW to force this barnacle on prog ress, this octopus of the Yukon, to retire with it's boats, where no ice will interfere with navigation and where steam from it's own boilers will be as cooling zephyrs to it's blackened, sbriy- eled, aTaricious soul

Census is about to publish a pamphlet
containing statistics and information
in regard to the ravages of the boil
weevil. This pamphlet contains in
formation that will be of the utmost
value not only to the farmers but to
all persons interested in the devel-
opment of Lou siana.
| might further add that the sta
tistics VIII be illustrated by map
and diagrams.
The Director is also DESTROYS OF
making wider distribution of the
statistics collected by his office con-
corning the quantity of cotton ginned
and consumed monthly. and the
stocks of cotton on hand at the end
of each month. Hence, l am anxious
to secure the names of twenty-five
representative cotton growers in each
parish in my district, which names
will be placed on the mailing LIST.
However, the recipients of these re-
ports must be widely distributed over
each parish, and the names will be
selected by the Director accord ngly.
In addition to the above, l have
also a few copies of the Ayr cultural
Year Book; few books of the Dis
eases of Cattle; copies of the report
of the Bureau of Animal Industry,
and a number of Farmers Bulletins
pertaining to agriculture, horticul-
ture, dairying, etc. Any person who
desires a copy of any of the above
documents will please advise the I'M

HOW FARMERS CAN TEACH AG'
RICULTURAL SCIENTISTS.

1t is not enough that the county
agent be simply common carrier
of IDEAS from farmer to farmer. He
is. to be go between to gather facts
and experiences everywhere and to
Interpret these facts and exper sences
IN the light of local conditions and
needs. Then he is to go step far
Their and carry the experience and
the ideas of the farmers themselves
to the Department Agriculture and
the agricultural colleges; for these
institutions are as much in need OF
the farmers problems as the farmer
in need of the information which
agricultural institutions can give.
Active and mutually helpful CO.
operation is needed between the
farmers themselves and all of the
public agencies intended to promote
agriculture and agricultural educa-
Ii on. The farmer needs the facts
and the sc entists and teachers are
IN need of the facts and the point of
view of the farmers; they need to
learn the supersc .ence which farm
ers call common sense, that whole
some wisdom that is the essence OF
the thought and experience of gen
|erations of men who have made good
through work and thought and
thrift and unconscious adaptation to
C rcumstances.
In nearly every country it Will. be
found that most of the serious agri-
cultural problems have been solved
by several of the good farmers.
There is no better way of teaching
a scientific truth than by calling at
tention to some one who is success
fully practicing it. 1t VIII often be
found that the successful farmer has
not stopped to analyze the cause of
b s success and may often attribute
it to the wrong factor. The lesson
Is there just the same.-U. 81 De
