AGRICULTURAL ALASKA

There are many men living in Alaska who up on their initial acquaintance with the Territory laughed to scorn any person who ventured to remark favoraby upon its agricultural possibilities. No doubt the doubters were not merely pessmists for they had grounds for their belief that the soil Of Alaska would prove most inhospitabe for farming purposes. What else could they think? From time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary has not Alaska been represented as land Of ice and perpetual frost? Were not polar bears Eskimos. totem poles and furs it's principal products? Did photography portray aught else than these with glacier rampant and polar bear couchaut in the background? Indeed these are yet familiar pictures The fur-clad Eskimo crawling on hand and knees into ice gloo are recalled in older geographies Forests of totem poles at Wran- gel. Shakan and Stka were aluring to the tourists How many or how few were garden scenes in the ear Her daysl They were not known, for was not Alaska an nhospitable forbiddlng even God-forsaken land? To believe otherwise was not to be thought of or en- dured
 The report of the Alaska agricultural experiment station for the year 1914 which has just to hand tells a totally different story and it should be read by even those not directly interested in farming in the Territory Such reading would enlighten their under standng as the report presents array of concrete facts touching agricultural progress and development sufficient Go convince the most skeptical And the re- suits of this development are not confined to anyone section of Alaska Nearly every town. hamlet or set

SUPERVISION SAFE.
(Seattle TimesD

Seattle Ilmes)
 No more dramatic announcement has come from the North in years than todays from Nome that vnhjamur Sefansson is safe in Banks land whence he has dispatched reports to the Canadian government de- scrbing his movements.
 The announcement is peculiarly interesting to Se- ate both because of the local interest felt in the of the daring exporer and the knowledge that many citizens have of the dangers which he has tri- umphed.
 Stefansson left Martin Point west of the mouth of the Mackenzie March % 1914. He was accompanied by Ole Anderson and storker Storkeson. The three headed north the Arctic ice and disappeared from view Since that time various reports have been re- ceved concerning the daring three atterly these re- ports had been couched in a pessimistc strain.
 Still, there division of opinion among "od- timers in Seattle Hope naturally grew dim the de- pressing rumors in, but many cung to the belief that the explorers previous exploits an that he would out alive from the Arctic this time
 With the majority of observers, however, all the expectation that Stefansson or his companions would again be alive long since had been abandoned Nu- merous articles have appeared within the past six months in Eastern publications particularly, aluding to the explorer and his work in the past tense
 Nomes statement that he is safe in Banks land will upset all these predictions In due time may expect to see him back in civilization possibly with reports of new discoveries paraleng in interest the finding of the blond Eskmos"
 However Stefansson and his companions will hear as well as relate sensational news. During the time they have been out of touch with civilization sundry things have happened in Europe and elsewhere that are certain to prove decided surprise to the returning explorers.
