WHERE TO LOCATE.

Nearly all inquiries for informa- tion about Alaska want to be adver- tised as to the best place to locate. This is a difficult question to answer. In fact, there is no such thing as best place. There are several desir. able regions, and the home seeker will have to choose for himself that which he prefers.
 undoubtedly the Matanuska valley and the region tributary to the pro jected railway from Seward to Fair of the improved transportation facili- ties. The region about Fairbanks has already been settled by many home steaders who were attracted there by the local market afforded for their produce by the towns and mining camps.
 "The whole stretch of the Panama valley, at least from Fairbanks to the junction of the river with the Yukon, affords fair transportation ia cilities during the summer. The same holds true of agricultural land on the Yukon. During four months of 4, the year there are fair facilities for the transportation of produce up and down the river. Railways have very de- cided advantage over river navigation in that they can be operated through out the year, and such transportation will. undoubtedly, be spur to settle ment.
 "The Copper River & Northwestern railway affords transportation to the Copper river valley and the Chitina valley. The latter has some good az ricultural land.
 Transportation and markets are the main determining factors in the settlement of any given region. The prospective homesteader should also consider the advantages to be gained by locating near other homesteaders, because every settlement will in time be provided with stores, churches, schools and other indispensable fea- lures of community life"

AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES AND
 CLIMATE OF ALASKA

heavy growth of timber and bushes before 1t can be made ready for cul. tivation.
 THE SOIL.
 "The soil is rich in places where land has been built up by silt depos- its. Taking Alaska soils as a whole, they must be classed as rather poor from a crop producing standpoint. Geo logically speaking. Alaska is young country. The ice cap, which at one time covered the continent as fat south as Ohio remained in these nor. thern attitudes perhaps thousands of years after it had disappeared from the more southern attitudes. Rem. nants of this ice cap still remain in the glaciers and on the ice-covered mountains which traverse the terri tory in various mountain chains. That portion which is now free from ice, including the agricultural areas, has heretofore not had time to develop a soil by the growing up and decay of vegetation, as has been the case in the states.
 "In many places gravel is found near the surface, where 1t was deposited by the torrents created by melting snow. This is the case, for instance, throughout large regions of the Cop per river valley. and while a foot or two of soil can produce agricultural crops, such shallow soils are not in herently rich and must be fertilized to maintain their productivity.
 Another drawback to shallow soils is that they drain too rapidly. The rainfall in the interior Is light, and the gravelly subsoil drains off the rainfall so quickly that crops ire quently suffer from dry weather. This has been found true particularly in the Copper river valley. Of course this condition can be remedied by ir- rigation.

promised.
The war has temporarily cur:ailed

greatest rival, almost wholly, from
England in lesser degree. From the
Orient they have increased. Our man

ton of certain articles for which, due
to foreign combinations, we were en-
tirely dependent on European coun-
tries. DR.. Norton concludes: "Ameri-

and ingenuity are pluckily taking
great chances. They are confidently
hoping that the nations lawgivers will
promptly grant them statutory pro-
lection against the danger of unre-
stricted, unfair competition, on the

The rock of their salvation must be
the Republican party and its policy of
protection, and not the Democratic
party which has done so much to de-
industries.

PREVENTING NOTIFIED BUTTER

Notified butter is frequently found
on the market at this time of the year,
and, even though it may be of very
good favor, it is strongly discriminat-
ed against by the purchased. As this
defect is one Of workmanship, it can
be overcome by the application Of
proper methods on the part of the but
ter-maker.
Notifies are caused primarily by an
uneven distribution of salt in the but
ter. This may be produced by insult
fcient working of the butter or by
churning, washing, and working /. at
very low temperature, or by washing
or working it at temperature several
degrees higher or lower than the
churning temperature.
When the quantity of butter made
in one churning is much less than
usual, it is necessary 70 work is a
greater number of revolutions of the
churn than usual in order to produce
the same results on the butter
Extremely low temperatures Of
churning, washing, and working
should be avoided, because they pro-
duce so firm butter that it is only
with great difficulty that the salt can
be worked uniformly into it. High
of churning, washing,
and working must also be avoided to
prevent an abnormal loss Of fat in The
and also the making Of
greasy leaky butter.
Great variations in temperature
Turing the manufacturing process
should always be avoided. Under
normal conditions the temperature Of
he wash water should be the same as,
,r within two degrees of, that of the
When the churn room is so cold that
he butter becomes chilled before
working is completed, notified butter
S frequently the result. To prevent
his it is preferable to increase the
mount Of working rather than to
aise the temperature of the wash
,ater.
Notified butter, then, may be pre-
ented by using methods that will in
ure uniform distribution Of salt.

appointing a committee TO study the

by this committee will be brought to

every night, public spirit is at a high
pitch. Last night Secretary Bartlett
of the County Association, gave an
address on Cooperation in which he
urged plan for the future. At the
close of this address the matter was
discussed for over an hour, many Of
the prominent citizens taking part.

NEED OF PROTEC-
TION ADMITTED

Dr. Thomas H. Norton, of the Blu
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, says in the New York Annalist
for January Ord: an a more or less
uncomfortable way we have brusquely
been forced to recognize the unwis-
dom, the folly, of shipping vast
amounts of crude materials of our for
ests, mines, and farms three thousand
miles across the ocean, and then buy
ing them back in manufactured
form, at greatly enhanced price"
This forced recognition must be of
very recent date in so far as it may
have affected the minds of free trade
Democrats. That school of economic
thought which so long has advocated
the sale of our crude materials to
European manufacturers to be made
up and returned to the American mar
ket under low duty rates, counted a
large number of adherents up to about
year ago. Did they deser. their
philosophy when Secretary Redfeld
and other tariff wreckers became pan
ic-stricken at the havoc they had
wrought and the prospect of deluge
of European and Oriental goods which
would overwhelm this country fol
lowing the war? With their heads
they had butted the protective wall
into scrap heap. A wave of i'm
ports surged in extinguishing the fires
of our domestic furnaces. The war
came on and higher barrier than
ever protection contemplated was
the American manufactur-
err and farmer for brief space, and a
spotted prosperity set in. But, though |
the war acts as temporary barrier to
keep out European goods, SO also is it
a dam behind which huge stores of
