KNIK HOAIESTEADER
 PREPARES TO FARM

Valdez, March-Gust. Haller, homesteader in the Sasitna valley, located about twenty Il iles from Knik, was a passenger on the Ala meda yesterday returning from a trip to the states, where he pur- chased horses, cattle, and imple- ments for his ranch. He stated tha he had five acres under cultivation, and that the soil is the finest he has ever seen and would produce anything.
 Haller has arranged that his wife should come north about May 1, at which time the stock will also be shipped to Knik from Seattle. He expects the railroad construc- tion work will provide a market for all kinds of garden truck he can grow, and will help tide over the ranchers in the Susitna until they are on a self-supporting basis.

NEW KELP POTASH FACTORIES
 TO BE OPENED IN WASHINGTO

Seattle, March 23- Several new factories will probably be opened il Washington this summer for the manufacture of potash fertillze: from kelp, according to Professor Geor0e B. Rigg of the botany de- partment of the University of Wash lngton. The checking of impor- tations from Germany las excited interest in the industry, he says, not in this state, but in Oregon anl British Columbia.
 "The whole thing" Dr. Rigg told q reporter for the campus daily, tends to emphasize the resources Of the northwest, for we might sup ply the world with this necessity if we only made use of our facilities.
 "We possess a great deal of water power, by which we can fix atmospheric nitrogen in forms to be used for fertilizer. The supply of phosphate rock in Idaho and adja- cent regions will last this country for thirty-six centuries at the pres ent rate of consumption.

From E. J. Shaw, who in com- pany with Mrs. Shaw was visiting In Macon, Ga, on March 18th, comes greetings in the shape of q Souvenir Folder; The Sunny South," a glance over the pages of which, with but a slight stretch of the imagination, would carry the beholder bac'- to ante-bellum days.
 The folder is about the size of a post card and consists of II pages, on each side of which are typical Southern scenes. The front views are devoted almost exclusive ly to the featuring of King Cot ton," from picking time until baled, transported to the steamboat land ing and on the way to some great commercial! center for distribution to the four quarters of the globe. There is also a Logging Scene in the South," an old-tire horse-pow- CT Sugar Cane MilF' at work, a half dozen little picaninnies sitting on an old stake-and-rider fence by the roadside, Waiting for the Par a6e," and another entitled, south ern Products; Watermelons, Rag orbacks and Pickaninnies."
 There are also views depicting the home life of the average Southern "cottonfield" negro, and last a re- production of a "Razorback."
 This folder is now on exhibition in the frant window os Keller Bros. drug store and is attracting the notice of passersby as well as the customers of the establishment.

xxx WILL HAVE
 A NEW PAPER

Seattle P.-I., March IT: T. R. Needham, of Knik, will leave tomor- row for San Francisco, where he will complete negotiations for found ing a newspaper at knik, to be known according to present plans, d the Cook Inlet Pioneer. MT. Need- lam is sourdough editor. He went into Alaska in 1894 as associate edi- tor of the Juneau Searchlight, and has followed the newspaper busi- ness in the north ever since. Soon after leaving the Searchllght he founded the Douglas Miner. In 1898, during the Stikine river boom when the excitement over the pro- jected building of the so-called dir ect railroad to the Klondike was at it's height, he started the Stikine River Journal at Wrangell. In 1906 he was one of the founders of the Fairbanks Daily Times.
 MT. Needham is firm in the belief that the first railroad work to be done by the government will be the construction of the railroad coal branch from Ship creek to the Mat auuska fields at Chickaloon.
 The Ship creek terminal is on gov ernmeut land. reserved from entry, and all the early birds who are in the Cook inlet country waiting to grab the expected opportunities re- sulting from the railroad construc" ton are making their headquarters at Knik, across the inlet.
 Knik now has a population of ap- Troximatelv six hundred, says MT. Needham, and besides being provid- ed with the usual facilities of an Out-fitting point has what is per haps the most novel community or social center in the north, develop ed through the efforts of Rev. T. P. Howard, Presbyterian home mis- 2iondry.
 The social center is large frame building with a variety of enter prises housed in it. On the main street front, are two store rooms, one occupied by a cigar and candy shop and the other to be used by MT. Needham's newspaper. On the floor above is Dr. Spaulding's hos pital, and in the rear is large hall, forty by seventy feet which serves as church, theater, cnd dance hall. Rev. MT. Howard decided not only to minister to the spiritual wants of hie parish, but also to their social needs. 50 he built church that -as a th3ater and a good floor, and at the conclusion of a Sunday night service, MT. Needham says, 1t is not unusual for the pastor to an nounce that next Friday night the rou. people of Knik will give . dance, to which all are cordially in vited."
 Two nights week moving pie lures are shown, ana at other times the hall IS open for public meetings on civic affairs or wcmen's enter tainments. Indicative of the bal anced character of the population of Inik, MT. Needham says that at the Nea Years eve ball there were 240 persons present, 110 women and 130 men.
 Mir. Needham says thSt while there is a great future ahead Of the Cook inlet and Matanuska dis trict, it is no place for the man set king ordinary wo,k-a-day wages. There is plenty of room he says, for the miner and prospector who in- tends 10 deyeloD his property, and

HARDEST AND EASIEST
GOLF SHOTS EXPLAINED

In the October American Maya
zine Jerome d. Travers, present
open golf champion and four times
amateur champion of America,
writes an article under the title
Heroes of Wood and Iron" He
tells many stories of great plays
and players and tells as follows
what he considers the hardest and
easiest shots to make:
Il have heard many debates as
to the hardest and easiest clubs to
play L should say the hardest
shot IN the game, the one that has
fewer masters, is the full iron shot
to the green. Running a close sec
ond is the mashie pitch. There
are fewer golfers by far who can
play these two shots we'll than
those who are good drivers or good
putters. The easiest shot in golf
is the drive, and the simplest is the
putt But as putting is almost pure
ly mental proposition it probably
varies more with all players than
any other shot.
You see few good sound iron
players, especially among the
amateurs in America. In England
their iron play is much better
