raising and dairying. while the natural
meadows may be utilized for stock
raising.
I understand that small farms are
growing up about many of the fishing
stations. One of the best of such is
that of c. A. Burckhardt, the president
of the Alaska Pacific Fisheries" at
Yes bay. Mr.. Burckhardt tells me
that he raises rhubarb with leaves as
big as a parasol and stems as long as
a base ball bat, and quite thick. He
grows Strawberries that are four inches
in circumference, and they keep bear
ing for two months of the summer.
Mr. Burckhardt spends his summers
only in Alaska. and he brings his COW
back and forth with him each season.
The COW is Jersey named Daisy. She
was first brought up on account of Mr.
Burckhardts little daughter, born six
years ago. The baby needed one cow 8
milk. and Daisy came along to furnish
1t. The experiment worked so we'll
that Daisy has spent her summers in
the north ever since. l understand that
come to fit southwark. She goes on
board the ship without urging and
thrives under these changes.
The great possibilities of southeast
ern Alaska lie in it's fish, its woods and
its minerals. The beds of the ocean
are paved with halibut, and millions of
salmon are caught and canned every
season. There are f1sh-packing estab-
IlShmentS on many of the islands, and
the towns are devoted to fishing and
mining. ketchikan is perhaps the
chief fishing center, but there are large
canner1es also at Petersburg Wrangell
Juneau and Sitka. The salmon run
every season and the canneries are To-
Gated near the mouths of the streams
where the fish can be brought in boats
and cooked and packed for all parts of
the world.
About the larger canneries little
towns have grown up. At the smaller
ones there may be only one or two
houses near the great buildings which
lie at the wharves. Take Petersburg
situated on the mainland opposite
kupreanof Island. 1t lies in a little
harpor with long wharves of wood
erected on piles, running out into the
sea. The chief street runs around the
harbor. This street has a boardwalk,
facing which is bank, newspaper
office, and half dozen stores. Farther
back on the hill is two-story hotel
and perhaps fifteen fine two-story cot
ta&es.
Petersburg Is the headquarters of a
mosquito fleet that brings In halibut all
the year around. 1t has large can
merry. and it ships many thousand
pounds of salmon during the season.
Just below Petersburg is Wrangelt.

During my stay here in Juneau
asked Mr.. b. L. Thane, the manager of
the big Alaska Gastineau mine, to tell
me something about this gold belt.
Said he:
The Juneau gold belt is a part of
the great belt of gold-bearing rock
that runs north and south along the
western side of this hemisphere. 1t be-
gins here in Alaska and crops out in
British Columbia. 1t is found in the
United States in the Sierra Nevada and
other mountains, and from there it
goes on southwark through Mexico and
Central America to Panama. 1t crosses
the isthmus and is found again In the
Andes.
From this belt has come a great
part of the gold of the world" Mr..
Thane continued. The mines about
Juneau form one part of it, and it is
probable that other great bodies of
low grade ore will be discovered The
character of the ore and the conditions
of mining make 1t so that getting out
the gold is a manufa curing PROPOSE
ton, and this will result in there being
a population of miners working here
for long time to come. These mines
of southeastern Alaska have the adj
vantage of cheap transportation. The
ore lies in the mountains close to deep
sea navigation The mountains are
precipitous, and much of the work can
be done by gravity. We have also the
advantage of rainfall of nearly 100
inches per year. This gives US many
trio power to operate the mines and
the mills. So far only a small part Of
the region has been thoroughly pros.

MURCHISON ASKS FOR
REELECTION AS JAILER.

Charlie A. Murchison, our pres
ent popular and efficient
jailer, places his formal announce
ment Ia the Courier this week as
candidate for reelection to the
office of Jailer of Fulton county,
subject to the Democratic pri-
mary.
In the last and only campaign
Mr.. MurchiSon ever made, he
was opposed by several mighty
good men, but he received the
Democratic nomination by a big
majoity; his term in office proves
conclusively that his friends
made no mistake in selecting him
for this important office. He
promised during his race that ii
elected he would administer the
office to the very best of his
ability-and it is needless to say
that he has faithfully carried out
his pledges. The Courier doesn 4
know of a cleaner, more upright
gentleman in the county than
Charlie Murchison. He is just
one of those plain, sensible, every
| day sort of fellows that viii do
To tie to; man of rugged
honesty and sincerity of purpose.
His one term in office has merely
qualified him the better to look
after the duties of jailer. He is
a Fulton county boy, a staunch
Democrat, a faithful official and
fine citizen, and we see no reason
why he should not be honored
with a second term.

FULTON COUNTY MAY YET
RECEIVE STATE AID.

Judge Stair and Esq. A. M.
Shaw ran up to Frankfort last
week to confer with Public Road
Com. Wiley concerning state aid
road work IN Fulton county. Ow-
ing to previous high standards
prescribed by the State, requiring
hard surfacing, etc, Fulton cOun-
~ had some trouble IN comply
ing with the letter of the law,
but these have been altered IN a
lneasure-such as cutting the pre-
scribed widths from 80 10 % feet,
etc. - which reduces the project
to a more feasible basis. The
change In the standards will en-
able the county to qualify for
state aid-which it could not do
before with the amount of money
available for road improvement
and thus participate IN the
State S road money. The Com
mlssloners gave our representa-
t1ves assurance of financial aid
and encouraged them TO go ahead
with contracts for work ON the
state highway system. In due
time, or as soon as the changes In
our road plans and specifications
are approved by the Fiscal Court,
they will advertise for bids on
the various sections, as original
ly planned.

OUT-OF-DOOR SLEEPING

Again the inconoclast is out
with his AK and another and very
popular medical idol has been
smashed, namely, sleeping out Of
doors. 1t was great while it last
ed, but apparently it is now on
the way to the scrap pile of medi-
cal science, where sooner or later
all that brand of science is cast.
Sleeping out of doors is all right
for those who live out of doors,
like travellers in remote regions,
soldiers III active service and the
like, but it has been at last real
lied that for those who live in
houses the going out of warm
house to the often bleak or damp
air of the outside is not always
beneficial-in fact, is very often
hurtful. The same is true OF
sleeping with wide open windows,
which is all right in certain states
of the atmosphere, but as an in
variable rule it is an error. In
nothing Is common sense more
needed than in medicine and
health culture, nowhere else is
it often lacking.-Ex.
