The U. s. Department of Agricul- ture sends us copy of Soil Renais- sance In Alaska, with an Estimate of the Agricultural Possibilities Of the Cook-Inlet Susitna Country; the Yukon-Tanana Regions, and the Cop per River Valley. This is wonder full work and shows better than col umns of newspaper dope could do the wonderful possibilities of this country as an agricultural region.
 Vast fields are shown in the Tanana Valley, filled with cattle, horses, pigs and poultry. Waving fields of grain are shown, with harvesters at work the same as in Illinois. Huge crops of cabbages and other vegetables are shown, together with beautiful farms and level fertile valley, where crop
 failures are unknown, and where the farms are dotted with pretty houses and substantial fences. It is won derfully convincing demonstration of what the soil will produce in the ter ritory, and every citizen of Alaska should have copy sent to some rela-
 tive or friend in the east. The book is profusely illustrated and is well worth perusing.

Hunt has been taking Alaska views for many years, and in connection with his camera has moving pie ture machine, for views of Alaska industries. Many of his pictures are on exhibition in Seattle and Eastern cities, where they are exciting much interest. It would be good thing for the Chamber of Commerce, from time to time to send some of MT.

Prince William Sound is credited in an eastern mining journal with hav- ing the largest deposits of copper ore in the world, and the same journal states that at the close of the war a mining boom, such as never experi- enced in Alaska, will be enjoyed by this district. What the district is in need of now, more than any other one thing, is shelter. The haul of 1900 miles to Tacoma is too costly for ore carrying but 15 to 25 per cent values; and if the government gives this district cheap coal, we may expect to see a shelter erected in this district in the near future. Thou sands of tons of ore go from the Sound to Tacoma annually, and our mine owners are ready to welcome any condition which will lower the price of reducing their ores.

Russia is engaged in internecine strife, her peasantry opposing the continuation of war which has cost her so dearly, and troops have been necessary to quell the riots. War has demoralized every branch of trade in the empire, and thousands are re- ported starving in the cities. The government has taken over all the factories and soldiers are compell- ing every woman in the empire to assist in making ammunition; peas ant and autocrat alike. There are lots worse places to live in at the present moment than Valdez.

he is wont to picture dog-teams;
 fashionably dressed people attend services in our churches, and little
 children shout merrily at their play. Yes 1t is different from the States;
 so much different that one who is
 used to the heat and the dust, and the cold and the storms, and the precarious existence eked out in the crowded, cities, and the hum-drum
 from hand-to-mouth way of living of the average customer, will wonder, after a year spent in this delightful paradise, why they never studied geography more and paid less atten- tion to bunny-hugging.
 The trouble with Alaska is that she has been seen from the deck of a steamship, while the author of For ty Years on Snowshoes" has reclined gracefully in a steamer chair, and examined our coast line with a pair of cheap binoculars. Of course there are snow-clad mountains and im- mense glacial fields, and polar bears and walruses-it would not be Alas ka without them, but unfortunately the tourist has not seen anything else. Things that are common at home he overlooks, and seeks only the unnatural and the exaggerated. He is amazed that we take him for gentleman and invite him to our homes-he straightway writes of our wonderful hospitality. If we give him a ten-cent stogie, he writes of the extravagance of the oldtimer; and column after column is devoted to the wonderful fact that he finds pho- nographs and books everywhere Why shouldn't we? Alaskans are not rear ed to the music of tomtoms.
 Alaska is a great country; win some, wonderful country; but it, is as little understood by the average Fastener as it is by the average con- gressman. Some day the people back there will wake up, and find Alaska to the States in every way in climate, soil, and citizenry.

We have received a letter from an Eastern friend asking if it is true that many Alaskans go crazy. We have investigated the matter at some length and have found out they do.

Main Street to be
Paved by Fair Time

People interested in the county fair
have felt some apprehension lest the
paving in Main street would not be
finished in time to allow the pavement
to be used. Councilman Ed T. Austin.
superintendent Of the streets and alleys
department. said today that the pave
ment would be down in two or three
days. which will give it more than two
weeks to set before fair week opens.
This stretch OF pavement should have
been finished last week, but delays in
terfered. The weather caused the con-
tractors to lose one day, a break down
caused the loss Of part of another, and
delay in getting the right sort OF
gravel delivered on the job caused still
a third delay.
The engineer Of the Monarch Engin-
eering Company, OF Des Moines, who
keeps an engineer on the job and is
testing the materials for the city, re-
ported early in the week that the gravel
being used was running too strong TO
sand. The city ordered the contractors
to discontinue using gravel that had
so much sand in it. and twas not until
after delay OF a day or two that the
PAYERS were able to set gravel that
came up to specifications. Paving was
resumed Saturday and 1t is said the
street will be finished by the end Of the
week.
The Iowa Railway and Light Com
pany has employed Adoiph Carlson, g
local contractor, to pave between Its
rails that are in the street, and to build
driveways across tho track and thru
the parkings into the fair grounds.

COUNCIL WANTS TO PAVE
SUMMIT STREET SOON
Would Like to Improve This Street
This FaII-scheduIe For Summit and
poty Streets to Be Ready Soon
Schedule. Of Other Streets Will Be
Delayed, Abstraeters Say.

Tedious progress, and perhaps long
delay, is to be experienced by the city
before 1t can get ready to award the
contracts for paving the six roads to
the limits oe the city. The cause Of
the delay will be getting the schedules
Of the property that is to be assessed
ready so that formal notice Of the pro-
posed assessments can be given by the
city in resolutions of necessity.
A week has passed since the council
expected to take formal action by
passing the first resolution Of neces-
sity, and since 1t employed firm Of
abstracters to check the descriptions Of
the land. Today w. H. Hammond, of
the Marshall County Abstract and
Loan Company. employed to do the
work, said that it would be a
few days before the first schedules
were ready for the council
Want Summit Street Soon.
The abstrocters have employed adj
and plats, but the task is big one,
that Tuesday or Wednesday the plat
streets will be ready for the council.
The council hopes it will be able to
have the plat and schedule for Summit
street ready very soon. as it wants to
let the contract and get this street
paved this fall. The Iowa Railway and
Light Company has the material ready
and is waiting to lay it's track extern
sion as soon as the street is paved. For
obvious reasons it was not best for the
public utilities company to put down
this extension until the street was be-
ing paved. altho it has been ready to
go to work on its track for a month.
AS to the schedules for the other
three streets, which does not include
North Third avenue, there is no GER
tainty when they will be finished. w.
H. Hammond has about arrived at the
conclusin that it may be necessary to
get surveyor to go and establish
boundaries to furnish descriptions for
some of the tracts that are to be as
sessed. He expects to take this ques-
ton up with City Solicitor Northup
and City Engineer w. H. Steiner to de-
eide what is best to be done.

NO MORE BAND CONCERTS.
Mcfarland Explains Why
Arranoanent Was Discontinued,


In a notice published elsewhere to-
day, signed The Band Boys" it is
stated that because Councilman NJ. s.
Mcfarland, superintendent of River
view park, will not allow the band to
play at the park there will be no more
concerts. Councilman Mcfarland,
when asked for an explanation OF the
notice this afternoon, said in effect
that it was not a statement Of facts.
He said that an arrangement had
been made with c. M. Toler to furnish
band concerts at the park Sundays
when there were no ball games, in ex-
change for the privilege of selling soft
drinks, cigars, popcorn. peanuts, etc.
Toler was expected to make his profit
from the concessions.
According tc Mcfarland Toler was
to furnish band of sixteen pieces.
"He gave three concerts, and none Of
the bands he furnished had more than
and once only eight pieces"
said Mcfarland. People complained
about the quality of the music, so I
discontinued the arrangement with
Toler. which does by no means. how
ever, bar musicians or bands from
playing in the park. Had Toler fur
nished the music he agreed to, and
done other things he agreed to do, he
could still be furnishing the concerts"
