COMMISSION ID ASK s8,000,000
Tom Riggs Says Matanuska Coal will Be Available for Navy Next
 Year if Appropriation Made

. WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Com- missioner Tom Riggs, of the Alaskan Engineering commission, has arrived in Washington from Alaska and has established headquarters from which an active campaign will be made to secure a large appropriation from congress for railroad construction work in Alaska next season. Chair man Edes, of the commission, has been summoned from Alaska to con- fer with the department in regard to next year, and to aid in securing a large appropriation from the coming congress
 Commissioner Riggs stated today that the commission hoped to secure an appropriation of $S,00O,0O0 for next years operations. He states that surveys of the railroad from Seward to Fairbanks have been completed and he will recommend that con- struction work on the road be carried on simultaneously from both ends of the road next summer.
 Riggs says that construction work on the road from Anchorage to the Mat anuska coal fields progressed satis- factorily during the past summer considering the small amount of money available. He believes the Matanuska road will be completed at an early date next summer, making the best coal in Alaska available for the use of thes United States navy in the Pacific.

PRESS 0F GERMANY
 READY F0R PEACE
t3emi-l Official Statement Declares that Initiative Must Come from the
 Allies If They Want Peace.

LONDON, Nov. 19.-Advices from Berlin state that the evening papers print identical articles showing that they come from some authoritative source, stating that Germany is ready to make peace but that the initla- live must come from the Allies. It 1s.fssderted that much foreign terri tory Is now occupied by the central powers of Europe and that the Teu- tonic allies have been successful in all their campaigns.
 The British press in commenting on the dispatch from Berlin in unan- imous in declaring that the Allies cannot seek nor accept peace until the central powers of Europe have been forced to withdraw within their own borders. It is asserted that Ger man advances were made some time ago through the king of Spain to as- certain the terms upon which the AL lies would end the war and that they had answered by raising greater ar mies for coming campaigns.
 Many British writers profess to be- gieve that the slowing up of the Teu- tonic campaigns on both the western and eastern frontiers means that Ger many has exhausted her strength and that she lacks men to continue her campaigns. It is declared that the German and Austrian troops have taken an insignificant part in the crushing of Serbia, which was accom- plished by the Bulgarians. It is as- serted that no peace can be possible until it is announced by Germany that she is willing to withdraw with in her own borders.

BETTER SEEDS

Better seed can be raised on your
farm or in your community than you
can buy outside, according to d. w.
Frear. Of the Colorado Agricultural
College.
Mr.. Frear says that the high grade
seed which is shipped in is brought
to its standard and kept there large
ly by methods that are within reach
OF every farmer
Imported seed may be of high
quality for market, manufacturing
or feed but 1t is not necessarily a
dapted for planting purposes in
places other than where it was
raised. Because certain variety
of oats yields a large quantity of
high quality grain in Iowa or Illinois
or Minnesota is no reason for be-
lieving that 1t will do the same in
the San Luis Valley.
Farmers will usually do better If
they will make an effort to raise
their seeds locally, than to depend
upon shipped in from distant points
where conditions are quite different
At the same time lots OF cussing of
the Country, soil, climate and the
seed men is caused by the Farmers
failure to use the tanning mill and
to prepare his seed fro planting.
The beset plan to follow is to sell
ect and prepare a small amount of
extra fine, clean, uniform seed.
Plant this by itself on a seed plot
for the next years seed plot and use
the bulk Of seed from this seed plot
for the main field. That is, take all
OF the seed for both plot and main
field from the seed plot of the pre-
vious year.
IL Farmers will follow the plan of
carefully selecting. cleaning and
grading their seed. they will make
marked progress toward improving
the yield and quality of their farm
crops.

COLORADO SHOULD HAVE
ACTIVE IMMIGRATION BOARI

A bill has been introduced in the
House and the Senate appropriat
ing $4,000 for the Board of I'm
migration to be used for the pur-
pose of gathering statistics on the
Agricultural, Mining and Industrial
production of each County in the
State and to advertise to settlers,
tourists and investors, the advan-
the next two years.
This bill has the endorsement of
the Colorado Association of Com
mercial Executives and the Colo
rado State Chamber of Commerce,
both of which organizations have
agreed with the Governor to give
their unanimous support and as
sistance to make the Board of I'm
migration an investment for the
State of Colorado, rather than an
expense.
Every year. for ten years, after
the Franco-Prussian War, in 1870,
over 100000 Germans emigrated to
this country. The same has been true
regarding emigration from Euro
pean countries ever since the Nap
oleonic wars. One year it reached as
high as 100000.
If we are not ready with a live
immigration Board to secure our
share of the peace loving farmers
and citizens of Europe when the
| present war is over, they will set
tie in all OF the rest Of the Western
| states and Colorado will be left out
| in the cold.
Arizona, New Mexico, Texas.

Utah, each have an active Board of
Immigration with an appropriation
sufficient to carry on the work of
securing settlers. The result is
that during the past five years the
