degrees in this province this summer breaks all
records with the temperatures of 100 degrees F.
In the coast region stretching from Katala to
Seward, the temperatures are much the same as
for southeastern Alaska the lowest ever recorded
in this region being ia degrees F. and the highest
80 degrees F. The Aleutian islands and the Alaska
peninsula have climate of moderate temperatures.
In the interior, at Fairbanks on the Tanana-
the northern terminus of the new government rail-
road-the mean temperature for the three summer
months is about SO degrees the mean for the three
winter months about ia degrees +.
Along the shores OF Behrng sea the mean sum-
mer temperature varies from 40 degrees to so de-
greeS and the mean annual temperature from IS
degrees to 40 degrees. The extremes recorded at
Nome are 90 degrees In July and -2S degrees
in January The Arctic province Is colder, Of course.
The experience of old residents of Alaska has
shown the climate to be very healthful. No ex-
tremeS OF cold or heat occur along the Pacific sea
board. The excessive rains on many parts Of the
coast are diSagreeahle but have effect health
The Cook Inlet and SuStna regions have a climate
similar to that OF the interior, and warmer summers
than those on the coast with less rain. On the
Yukon the summers are cool and bright; clear
weather prevails most OF the time. The lack OF
humidity in the interior makes the extreme tenn
peratures of winter easy TO resist. The winter
Journey between Fairbanks and Valdez Is made by

hardshipS except when storms arc encountered. The
summer climaee at Nome is delightful.

WHERE UNCLE SAM HELPS

OUR folks in Alaska are not behind the times.
" Would you believe it-they even have CO.
operation
A remote island In the Aleutian chain, 1900
miles west of Seattle, and nearer to japanese ter
ritory than to the mainland of the United States,
Is Aka, more than half way across the Pacific
ocean Aka Is inhabited by colony of less than
100 AleutS, and is visited only by one of the reye-
nue. cutters on its annual cruise and by trading
schooner
For many years the economic conditions Of
the natives there had been hard The island is en-
trely untimbered The native industries are fish
ing, fox hunting and basket making. They had
been selling their fur skins to the local trader and
to the trading schooner at from IS to So each and
buying goods at three or four times their cost in
Seattle.
The local price on the island for rough lumber,
for instance, was $50 thousand. The same lum-
Der cost about si2 per thousand in Seattle. For
shingles, worth s2.25 thousand in Seattle, they
paid So thousand Articles OF food supply and
clothing were proporionately high
The United States bureau OF education main
tains school on the island for the natives And
the school teachers in Alaska, being not merely
school teachers, but genuses, were called upon to
solve the economic problem of the natives.
SO in April, 1913, Mr.. and Mrs. n. c. Seller,
teachers on the island under instructions from the
bureau, assisted the natives TO start cooperative

store with the aid Of the revenue cutter service
and merchants in Seattle who advanced the orig.
inal stock TO the value Of about 81 800 which the
revenue service delivered TO the island
Now the natives send their fox skins and bas-
kerry to Seattle by mail and sell them for prices
much above what they used TO get from the local
traders
Similarly they purchase their supplies at the
local cooperative store, cutting out the profit Of the
middleman and getting better goods at less cost.
Detailed reports Of the operation Of the store
sent in to the chief Of the Alaska division in the
bureau of education at Washington, and the finan.
cial transactions are audited by the commanding
officer of the revenue cutter which visits Atks
every summer. A continuation Of the policy is
expected TO enable the natives Of this barren island
TO live in comfortable houses, to become economic
ally independent and possibly even contribute 10
the support of their school.
Maybe you have noted in the foregoing that
your Uncle Sam really believes in cooperation and
helps some of his people to 20 to it.

Conditions resulting from the sink

business in wheat. This fact, with
ment to primary terminals both in the

about a decided rush here to dispose

Rains in Illinois and the Ohio valley

show of strength at the outset, but
otherwise developments proved almost
unanimously adverse to the bulls. AS
a matter of fact, a good many traders
were disposed to regard further storm
