The vegetables were grown by Fred Sick Ter, government school teacher at Shuugnak on the Ko5u5 river, 100 miles north of the Arctic circle in AL aska, and were sent as an exhibit by Joe Chilberg of Nome. The vege- tables were grown by sub-urigation which means in this ease that the sun melts the soil down as far as moisture is needed.
 "Thc single day required for this growth was of course, an Alaskan day, which means that it was the length of 60 days are in san Diego Bales was as happy over the sc'cn samples of Arctic vegetables as he would have been over thousand dol- lar nugget"

THE KOYUKUK REGION

That part of central Alaska lying betewen the lower Koyukuk river aGd the Yukon was until recently but little known. In 1913 it was explor- ed by II. VI. EalSin, and his results are presented in a report entitled "Ihe Iulion-Koyukuk region" re- gently issued by the Geological Sur vey as Bulletin 631. The region is essentially a rolling upland above which rise some higher mountain masses reaching attitudes of 5000 to 60OO it. This upland is broken by broad valleys and lowlands. The mountain slopes are clothed with spruce trees up to the attitudes of 2OOO 1t. Spruce and birch also cover the lowlands. Above timber line the vegetation is chiefly moss. The tim bercd areas, notably in the lowlands, are broken by meadows covered with a uxmiant growth of grass. Moose, caribou, and bear still roam over much of this region, which is seldom visit ed by white men. No important min eral resources have been found in the Yulon-Koyukuk region, but many of the stream gravels carry some fine colors of gold. This gold seems to have been derived from the contact

 The following is a clipping from one of the san Diego papers about the Bales exhibit:

VAN GLIDER B4BG.
 BECOMES A CENTER

The Office Building, built by van Glider, is now fast becoming the "civic center of Seward. 1t is one of the most finely appointed buildings to be found anywhere and cuts out more than half of the longing to g' outside. The basement is occupied. as is generally known, by the Gate way plant and nearly all the rooms on the first floor are already occupied. The law hrm of Morford X Finncgan has taken possession ot it's c.hces and Dr. Sloan has splendid offices also on the second floor. The MaSons ana Oddfeuows have their headquarters on the third floor and the Christian Scientists will hold their meetings every Sunday in the third floor hail. lt still seems Co be difficult Co call the fine building anything but the "Nan Glider Building but the real name, of course, is the Office Building. It looks strange to oldtimers to have in Alaska a building where you can have hot and cold water in every room but this is the age of wonders. 1T one were trying to show the world what advances Alaska is making a picture of the van Glider building would be sufficient.

zones of granite intrusive rocks, which are abundant in the region. That some of these deposits are of com mercial importance is shown by the fact that the placers of the Indian river district, which lie in the Yukon Koyukuk region, have for several years been mined on a small scale. It is not improbable that other com mercial placers may be found in the region, but the prospecting thus far done does not indicate the presence of any very rich deposits.

has failed in his repeated efforts to
capture chihuahua City from the de
facto forces, high Carranza officials here
who were in constant touch with deyel-
opments in the state capital declared en-
phatically last night.
After two days of almost continuous
fighting, Villa has left for the north
west with the remnants of his command,
they say With the reported withdraw
al of the enemy, the attention OF the
Carranza forces is being turned to bury
ing the dead and caring for the wounded
both bandit and government soldiers
who were left on the battlefield after
yesterdays fighting, official reports from
Chihuahua City say The Carranza gen
ersl reported killed is said to be General
Gandara, former follower of villa, who
received amnesty.
The whereabouts Of General Murguia's 5
division which has been advancing to.
ward chihuahua City from the south is
as much a mystery as it was Thursday
when Murguia was expected to reinforce
General Treyiuo A theory advanced by
military officers is that bandit scouts in
formed Villa of the approach of the Muir
guia column and he abandoned the at
tack on the city and sought safety in
flight to the Sierras Villas losses are
believed here to have been heavy, and
are variously estimated at 500 to 500
dead and as many more wounded.
