rAvoas Moan rowER EOR rERRIT0RY.

Some Of those newspapers which have commented upon the report of Gov Strong tpriOr to its release by the Interior Department said that he favored i'm mediate statehood for Alaska The Governor made no such recommendation He did urge that Congress confer additional powers on the Territorial Legislature and said that the need of more extended for the Iegsla ture will become more and more nsstent until such time as the Territory Is ready for Statehood" and he urged that the sooner additional power be granted the Legislature the greater will be the benefits ac cruing to the people"
 Tho paragraph dealing with this matter in the re- port of Gov. Strong Is as follows:
 "In my opinion the welfare of the Territory would be materially promoted by conferring upon the Terri crial legislature additional powers. and have to re- new the recommendation in this respect embodied in my last report that the Territorial legislature should be given enlarged powers so as adequately meet the growing needs of the Territory consequent upon an in crease in population the development of its natural re- sources and its industrial and commercial expansion This need of more extended power for the legislature VIII become more and more ins:stent until such time as the Territory ready statehood. and the sooner is granted the greater will be the benefits accruing to the people"

THEY KNOW.

wickersham papers are stI asking what Is full Ter ritoria form of sOvernment?" Of course they know They know that President Wilson former President Taft and others who understood the proper use of English who are lawyers and cOnyersant with American history and American government have made mistake in us- ing the term They know that full Territorial form of government" means complete local setgOvenment such as other Territories have enjoyed and. in nearly all cases where government concerns the people. as com pete as that which obtains in the separate States They know that practically the only difference between full Territorial form of government and State government is that the Territories participate in National af fairs or grant title tide and granted lands The ire quency with which they ask the question only indicates how hard pressed they are say something They are iooling nobody.

THE GOVERNORS REPORT

Gov Strongs annual report, released by the Depart
 ent of the Interior for publication today Is one of the best documents on Alaska. her development her re- sources and her needs that ever has been Issued The recommendations are pertinent needul strongly set forth The report Is lucid Illuminating and refreshing
 is written in Gov srOngs best style and that Is to say that it is interesting reading and possesses literary merit of high order All Of Gov. strOngs reports have been excellent but it IS no reflection on previous efforts to say that the 1915 report exces It's predecessors
 If Congress would but give life to the suggestions of the Governor of Alaska contained in his reports. con- dons in the North would be far more the liking of the people Gov. Strong has mapped course for the government in connection with Alaska that in keep ing with American principles and that marks the short est and most practicable course to desired results iu Northern affairs.

VILLAS SURRENDER
(New York worId.)

There was a time when General Villa who concluded terms of peace with the de facto Government of Mexico recently might easily have hailed the liberator of h,s country He commanded a powerful army that fought vaanty He exhibited many surprising gifts of generalship For season he disavowed personal am bition In spite of his earlier of lawesness if he had remained 10 the Consttutionalst cause he would have gained a measure of the fame of Bolivar or Q Juarez
 Partly by reason of his own lack of discipline, partly as result of jealousy Of General and partly. no doubt in response the influence of certain foreign interests General Villa rebeed against his own cause in the very hour of ts triumph By his attack upon the Provisional Government in attempt to promote his own fortunes or to revenge himself upon those who had sighted h.m he added immeasurably to the miseries of Mexico and gave himself name that will remain infamous

NEW CABLE NEEDED,

Tho recommendation of Gov. Strong in hts annual report that new cable should be laid between Alaska and Puget Sound will meet with hearty approval of the people of Alaska Comment on this recommendation Is particularly pertinent at the present time because the cable Is out of commission again for the sixth time with in year.
 Alaska needs a new cable not only on account of the necsency of tho present but the growing de mands of business require two wires between Alaska

Black variety in case the beans are
raised for hay, as they are a little
larger. ,.-:...s
When soy beans are sown on the
soil for the first time the seed should
be we'll inoculated with proper nitro
gen fixing bacteria. On, rich soil no
difference between inoculated and un-
inoculated plants would be noticed
because there are plenty of nitrates
to be drawn from the soil. We want
such crop, however, to draw, nitro
soil instead Of tearing it down. On
a poor soil, incubation produces the
better crop. incubation material
for soy beans, red clover, sweet clo-
yer and alfalfa may be obtained
through the school farm at Bemidji
free of charge if request is made
month or six weeks before the ma
terial is needed. The soil is Pc
pared for soy beans in the same man.
ner as for corn.
Time and Method of Planting.
The time of planting varies from
May rs to June 49,. They should
be planted Immediately following
corn. Planting soy beans in drills
so as to allow intertillage is the best
method. If there is plenty of mois7
ture, good results are obtained if
they are sown in solid drills. like
grain. AS rule, better results will
be obtained if they are further apart.
If intended for seed, plant the rows
thirty inches apart with seeds every
three inches Where the crop is
raised for hay the rows should be
about twenty inches apart and the
seeds about two inches apart, in the
row, or else sow the beans broad
cast. The narrow planting. ALLOWS
cultivation only early in the season.
When beans are sown in rows the
ordinary garden drill is best to plant
them with. -.
Amount Of Seed Per Acre. ill.,,
From one-third to -one-half bushel
Of seed is required when the TOMS
are thirty inches apart; from ope7half
to two-thirds of bushel when twen-
ty-four inches apart. When planted
with grain drill with all spouts
open, one bushel and half per acre
is needed. The seed is planted the
same depth as navy beans.
When grown for seed cultivation
continues until the plants begin to
bloom. 1t is advisable not to cul-
tivate while the leaves are wet.
When the crop is grown for hay, two
or three civilizations are sufficient. \
Soy beans should be cut when the
pods are forming and before the:
leaves are dropped. It is better to.
cut early instead of late as the stems
get woody, the leaves drop or and
the plant becomes unpalatable.. The
crop may be cut with q mower and
cured quite similarity to clover. The.
soy must be handled with care to-
save the leaves. If we'll cured. soy
bean hay has a high feeding value:
about equal to alfalfa. j

toric ages, has been unearthed by T. E.
Nichols Of this city by men employed
In making deep cut on Diamond
creek, a mile and a half northeast Of
Elmdale. The trench had been sunk
to depth Of fifty-three feet and had
passed through an eight foot gravel
strata when the big tooth was found.
A soapstone formation was encounter
ed Just beneath 1t.
The tooth IS we1l preserved, II
weighs over three pounds, measures
a foot and three inches in circumfer-
ence around its base and Is three
inches in height from It's base to the
points of the tooth. It is oblong in
shape, its width being three and a
half inches. There are six t]anges or
points to the tooth. which extend up
ward In regular pairs. The tooth has
two large roots, there being about three
or four inches Of the root Intact, but
the lower parts are broken off. It Is
believed the tooth belonged to car
n1vorous, or flesh eating, animal be-
cause of the fanges or sharp points.
After finding the tooth another bone
only a few feet away was uncovered
by another workman. 1t Is large
