ARE
 COMING ID ALASKA
Governor Strong Believes Alaska will Have Hundred Thousand White
 Residents in 1920.

Speaking of the agricultural pos abilities of the Territory in his an- nual report Governor Strong declares that the population is now coming to reclaim the wilderness and establish homes. In the past year hundreds of homesteads have been taken up, crops of various kinds have been planted, live stock brought into the territory, dairies have been started, and an era of permanent agricultural possibilit- ies of Alaska are no longer matter of doubt. The Territory offers to many people an opportunity for attaching to the soil. It is an accept led fact that there are too many idle men in the cities of this nation and too many idle acres in the country. Alaska needs population in order that its many latent resources may be developed, and to do this, access to the Territory's agricultural lands should be made as free as possible. The man who is anxious to till the soil is fairly entitled to every en- couragement that the government can give him. Unnecessary restriction should be removed; he should re- ceive aid from the government if he needs it, for a period of years, by the advancement of money to be return- ed at a low rate of interest within a stipulated time. But what about the markets for his product? These will be provided by the industrial develop ment of the Territory. It may be stat ed as a postulate that Alaska is quite capable of producing all the farm products that will be needed by a population of several millions, with the possible exception of wheat. And 1t is quite within the realm of prob ability that enough wheat can be grown to supply all the demands. The Nenana valley is potentially the wheat field of Alaska. But it is, con- paratively speaking, an unbroken wilderness.
 It has been estimated that Alaska has 3O,000 square miles of agricul- tural lands, besides tracts suitable for grazing. = q.
 The white population of Alaska is now estimated at 44,000, an increase of 5000 in the past year, and the Governor fully believes that the cen sus of 1920 will show a population of at least 100000. Alaska in time will have a large population of fish erfolk, who while prosecuting their marine occupations, will also culti- vate the land where they have found anchorage grounds for their homes.

Mystery, deep, dark and profound, which has pervaded the Frye Hotel :, for several days past, has been cleared up and like all mysteries it's solution was simple-after it had ' been solved.
 Several days ago a prominent phy- aician from Valdez registered. He hadn't been in Ais room half an hour when a we'll know steamship man whose name is known from Harbor Island to Smith Cove showed up. "Is the doctor in?" he inquired of the young lady at the telephone switch. The doctor was in. Would he please go right up to the doctors room?
 Come on, fellows, guess it's all right" said the called to a group of other Alaskans who accompanied him. Manager Watched them to the elevator. Their faces wreathed in smiles, they returned to the lobby.
 Thirty minutes later a delegation from the Arctic Club showed up.

 Pretty soon an Alaska mining man showed up again. He went through the usual formula and then took the elevator. Ten minutes later the steamship man who was the first iis- itor appeared with 8 new gang.

BRITISH LOSSES
 WERE VERY HEAVY
Turkish Dispatches Confirm Report that British Expeciitionary
 Force Was Defeated.

BERLIN, Jan. 28. 8.-Dispatches es from Constantinople confirm the news received yesterday that the Turkish forces had severely defeated the Brit ish troops in Mesopotamia which were trying to force they way to the rescue of the British troops at Kute- lamara.
 The official advices to the German war office reports that the British suffered the loss of fifteen thousand men killed and twenty thousand cap- tured, and that the expeditionary force under General Aylmars is in retreat to the coast.
 The Turkish express confidence that the entire British army with which General Alymars was trying to form a connection will be captur- ed as 1t is believed they have nearly exhausted their ammunition. The force is surrounded by overwhelming numbers of Turks and Arabs and 1t is believed they will surrender when it is realized that no help from the coast can reach them.
 The besieged British force at ku- telamara number ten thousand men and is composed of Indian, New Zealand and Australian troops which were drawn from GallipoH peninsula.

AN AID TO WASHBURN
Rockefeller Foundation May Allow
Stitch Legacy on S4OO,OOO

Washburn college may get big
boost towards it's 100000 endowment
fund if efforts being made by Wash
burn trustees and officers accomplish
their aim. Some four months ago by
the death of A. c. Stitch of Independence
Washburn was left 100000 to add to
its endowment. To secure the $780,
900 offered by the Rockefeller
foundation Washburn must raise
100000 and according to the terms
of the gift legacies cannot be counted
in the amount. But according to Dean
McEachron, of the college, there is a
large possibility of the Rockefeller
Foundations allowing $4,000 of the
legacy to apply on the 100000. This
would reduce the amount yet to be
raised to $3.50, 600.
At the trustees meeting a month
ago it was announced the Topeka cam
paign had netted S150.000 and the
state wide campaign $4,000 The to-
tai amount to be raised was $465.000.
hich includes $685. back debts of

to aid materially in feeding the people
detained there.
1t is Mr.. Porter's plan to have the
old pumping plant remOdeled for use
as a detention hospital. The plant be-
longs to the city and is now standing
idle. The walls are good and an ar
chitect has given figures showing it
can be remodeled to fit the needs of
the city for about $4,000. The build
ing is located at the foot of Harrison
street on the south bank of the Kaw
river.
Topeka needs q tubercular sanitar-
ium," said Mr.. Porter today, land
there are great many people in To-
peka who realize it. 1t needs a tu-
bercular sanitarium much more than
it needs a detention hospital. for that
matter. Last year thirtynine people
died of tuberculosis in Topeka. Their
average age was thirty-nine years.
They died in the prime of life. There
are scores of cases in the city that
ought to have proper treatment. In
a place like the building east of town
they could be given the most approved
treatment The building is ideally To-
Gated and with slight changes in the
equipment it would be ready for the
reception of patients.
1t Is Little Used.
THE city constructed that building
principally for smallpox patients.
solIlCe last august there nave D6en just
four smallpox patients there. In the
three years L have been city commits
sioner there has not been a single
death from smallpox in Topeka.
There are few other contagious dis
eases that require the use of place like
the building east of town. We ought
to be getting something out of that
investment of $4,000. We ought to
be saving lives with it. The economic
value of a human life is said to be
$4,000. If that is true Topeka has
lost $3S0,0O0 during the last year be-
cause of smallpox"
1t is Mr.. Porter's theory that the
old pumping plant could be made
fully as good a place for the treatment
of smallpox patients as is the deten-
ton hospital. George Hayden, city
attorney, says there is no law pro-
hibiting the keeping of smallpox po-
tients inside the city limits The
pumping station building could be
equipped with twelve rooms, exclu-
sve of an office. a kitchen, dining
room and bathrooms. 1t is 95 feet
long and the width runs from "a feet
to So feet.

tions have come in on time and the
Ladies' Aid has subscribed and paid III
$4,000 in the last three years on the

partment of over 1000.

cient work of DR.. Benjamin F. Young
