Important Alaskan Product.

The potato is Alaska's most impor-
tant crop. and. according to COM
merce report. 1t is a most profitable
one. Potatoes have been grown in
commercial quantities at the Fair
banks station for several years. The
object of growing them there was to
demonstrate that good potatoes could
be grown in the interior, and the re-
port says that the farmers in the
vicinity have taken the hint. Nearly
all of them now devote considerable
acreage to this vegetable. One farmer
estimated his crop as high as fifty
tons, which. at cents pound, or $50
ton, the lowest price at which pota-
toes have been sold in Alaska up to
the present time, would bring him
$4,000. Hog raising has also been
started at Fairbanks, the hogs being
fed on the unmerchantable potatoes.

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken in Selec-
ton Of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

II you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in a wilderness,
your first thought would be of food
supply and your next of shelter. for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties of mankind. 1t is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tails.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
in the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with it.
Modern hotels and office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction is away from
the fire hazard of wood.
One of the most significant develop
ments of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt single which
is, on new construction and old, rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any buildins-in fact. there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing
tints of red or green. is employed as a
surfacing The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying a slate
surfaced shingle that is not guaran-
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are so many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that it becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly
