 : On the other hand. Prof. 6. C.. George son, who is at the head of Uncle Sam's farm experiment in the territory, tells me that there will eventually be many small farms scattered throughout this part of Alaska. He says that they will grow up to supply the mining centers with vegetables and fruits. He does not expect them to come soon, believ- ing that it will be a task of a genera ton or so to clear the forests and take off the moss. He thinks the coast re : giou is best adapted to gardening chicken raising and dairying, while the natural meadows. may to utilized for stock raising. fs
 l understand that small farms are growing up about many of the fishing stations. One of the best of such is that of c. A. Burkhardt. the president of the Alaska Pacific Fisheries" at Yes bay MT Burckhardt tells me that he raises rhubarb with leaves as big as parasol and stems as long as baseball bat, and quite as 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 a Jersey named Daisy She was first brought up on account of Mir. Burckhardt's little daughter, born six years ago. The baby needed one cow s milk, and Ssaisy came along to furnish it. The experiment worked so well that Daisy has spent her summers in she seems to know when the time has come to fit. southward. She goes on board thes ship without urging and thrives under; these changes. Y.
 The great possibilities of southeast ern Alaska lie jn its fish. it's 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, fish h-packing estab- lishments 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 .canneries. also at Petersburg. Wrang- ell, Juneau and Sitka. The salmon run every season and the canneries are To- cated near the mouths of the streams, where the fish cah be brought in boats and cooked and packed for all parts of the world. sf

It is really: only the stopping off place on the edge of the territory proper. Travellers come from Puget sound and make the trip through the islands and back, without knowing anything of the main body of our great possessions of the far north. They see only a small part of southeastern Alaska, and from this they judge the whole.
 Skagway now feeds on the tourists. At the time of the gold excitement in the klondike it was the main entrance to the mining regions there, and it had then about 15,0Oo population It has not now more than 800
 Haines which lies on Lynn canal just below skagway, is. still smaller It has a little fishing, few stores, a public school and Presbyterian mission. It has also the only army post in south eastern Alaska. This is Fort Seward lying west of the town. The post has a beautiful site, it's buildings being sit uated on a low hill with hundred acres or more of lawn running from them down to the water. There are 30 or 40 buildings, including the barracks and the homes of the officers. The post has about 250 men,
 The greater part of southeastern Alaska
 is practically unknown How many of you have heard of Prince of Wales Island? It is 140 miles long and 40 miles wide. It is almost half as big as the state of Massachusetts, and it has great copper mines that are now working and gold mines and quarries of marble Revil- lagigedo, on which Ketchikan lies, is 50 miles long, and Baranof and Chichagof are. together, of about the same size as Prince of Wales Island. Gold and other minerals have been found upon all of these islands. Admiralty Island which lieA east of Chichagof, is 100 miles long by 8 miles mide. and it is in the heart of a country known to have minerals of various kinds.
 On the opposite coast lies Sumdum bay, where the great Juneau gold belt may be said to begin. This belt is ''the Rand of the northwest.'' It runs north east and southwest along the coast for something like 200 miles. Juneau lies in it's center and Douglas Island, from which $60, GOO worth of gold has been taken, is part of it. The Juneau gold region has already produced over s70,00O,- coo; it contains vast quantities of low grade ore, and it promises to be mining or gold manufacturing center for many generations to come.
 During my stay here in Juneau 1 asked MT. B. l.. Thane, the manager of the Dig Alaska Gastineau mine to tell me something about this gold belt. Said he:

 is one of the questions that is I.S. agitating Alaska. The dog is I&18I the main body of the country It. has more than nine tenths of the ter ritory and potentiallysit it is a world of the future. ItS'e1hbraces all the land west or the long line of international bound ary, that runs north and sonth between us and British Columbia. coming almost to the Pacific ocean, where the Mala- : spina glacier slopes off from Mount St. Elias into the sea The tail is south eastern Alaska, comprising the strip of coast and the Alexander archipelago lying south and east of the boundary exten- son. This section contains much less than one-tenth of the land, but just now 1t has the most people, and it's industries are producing more money than any other part of Alaska of quadruple it's size.
 Southeastern Alaska may be said to begin at tine Maaspina glacier, or Mount St. Elias, and it runs to the southeast from there along the coast to Dixon en- trance and the Portland canal It in- cludes a strip of coast line which is 30 or more miles in width, and is three or four hundred miles long. It has in addi-

The proposed territoriy is all told about four times the size of Massachusetts, or three times as big as Vermont or New Hampshire It would make six or seven Connecticuts. or couple of SwitZerlands. and leave some to spare. Nevertheless, it compares in size to the rest of Alaskas as a postage stamp does to bank note, and as far as area is concerned it would seem that tho dog could not help but wag the tail.
 The matter has come up in connection with the appOrtionment of the taxes and revenues of Alaska. The most of the revenues are derived from this section of the country and the larger part are from forests. Southeastern Alaska is heavily wooded Uncle sam charges s dollar a thousands as stumpage for all the timber that is cut on the government reserves. and the receipts are supposed to go back to the people for the makin*- of roads, Such revenues from southeast ern Alaska last year were about $6O 0OO. but the legislature, a majority of which comes from the body of the territory, has so divided the money that three fourths of it's goes to road work which is out side this region, and the people object. Indeed. the feeling is so intense that T party has arisen which advocates that southeastern Alaska break away from the main body of the territory and be- come a territory of its own. It demands that it be separate political entity. A
