ANCHORAGE IS BOOMING
 AND HOPEFUL.

Anchorage has @ population of 2,2OO according to a census taken there un- der the auspices of the railroad En- gineering commission, and the An chorage Pioneer predicts that 2,OOO will remain for the winter. Other authorities estimate that at least l. 800 will remain there, and that next summer it will become much larger
 pr. J. IT. Condit. who returned last week from attendance at the meeting of the Presbytery of the Yukon of his church, says that 25O houses were under construction when he left Am chorage, and that the place presents a busy appearance.
 Many of those who have located at Anchorage believe they have selected the coming metropolis of the West ward country. They claim that they are closer to the producing country than Seward. and that the products from the interior that are intended for shipment to the States will be dis charged at their town. This will in. clude the coal from Matanuska, and the ore from the interior mines. If smelters are located in that section of Alaska, they believe that they will not be far away.
 The rivalry between Seward and Anchorage is keen. Seward, which will be the ocean terminus of the railroad, coulNs upon its excellent harbor and other advantages to make 1t the center for the Kenia country and the port of entry for the interior trade

EXAMINED FOX FARMS

SEWARD. Sept. H. Ned Dear born, the representative of the De- pertinent of Agriculture, passed south on the last boat, after having exam ined the fox farms along the coast. One fact which he intends to investi- gate is that foxes in Alaska farms are not as fertile as in the east. The foxes back east usually have filters of eight or nine, while our animals seem to be able to produce only three or four to the litter. Mr. Dearborn visited Fox Island over in the La- touche district, which is owned by some Seward people, including Guy Whitehead, and he was SO interested that he remained there three days.

ANOTHER WARNING.

We note from The Rock Hill
Herald that MIR. T.. \. Ilutchison of
that city has recently made visit to
the boil wocvil infected sections of
Alabama and Georgia. In speaking
of Mr.. Hutchison's trip, The Herald
says:
MIR. Hutchison was especially i'm
pressed with The devastation by the
boil weevil in the western edge OF
Georgia and in Alabama. He said
he saw fields in which the wesvil had
appeared and il would take II least
twenty acres 70 produce bale u

ed conditions generally. despite cns
fact that ample warning ot is counting

5 ;nteciS;cu - % the next step
throughout the section.
Not only did MI Hutchinson talk
with the business men. but he was
out among the farmers and spent ;
good!y portion OF time with some ct
them
Mr., HutchiSon talked diversified
tion quite extensively and interested
quite number OF tanners and land
owners with his statements as to what
has been accomplished along agricul-
tural lines in this community during
the past few years. He is firmly con-
vinced that the boil weevil will hit
South Carolina within five years and
believes that the sooner the farmers
prepare to turn loose with the cotton
crop the better il will be for them
when the pest actually arrives"
II there is anything as certain as
certain can be, it is that in the course
of few years Give according to Mr..
Hutchison) the pest will be in this
state. At the rate the weevil has
been travelling in this direction we
believe it will be sooner than that.
But the length of time is not impor-
tant; the certainty of the coming and
the consequences are the important
things. Now what are the farmers
going to do about it? The sensible
farmer will begin by cutting down
his cotton acreage each year so that
when the boil weevil gets here it will
find but little cotton to feed upon.
Diversification of crops is not only
the antidote for the boil weevil. but
the means whereby a farmer can i'm
prove his land and get out of debt.
