FAIRBANKS FARMER
 CLEANS UP s1O,OOO
 WITHIN FIVE YEARS

FAIRBANKS, May 1.-Yesterday a real estate deal was closed by R. NJ. Crawford by which P. J. Rickert be- comes the owner of the Crozier ranch, which is located about five miles from Fairbanks. The cash con siderauon was not made known says the Fairbanks Times.
 The deal is particularly interesting in that it marks the transfer of the first patented piece of agricultural land in the Interior from the man who located and developed it to a man who has faithfully and earnestly worked hard to prove that as an agri- cultural country Alaska is one with out peer
 Five years ago Charles E. crozier left Portland. oregon. for Fairbanks' He arrived in the Golden Heart of the Internor anything but well fixed financially. He went out to Pearl Creek and there settled upon a piece of land. In due course of time he made his entry at the local office, proved up on his ground. and about six weeks ago he received his final receipt for the land from the gener- al land office.
 Next fall. Charles E. Crozier is going back Go Portland With him he will take s1O,OOO in cold ca5h, every dollar of it made from the soil of the Panama valley. every dollar Of it earned and made from the ground on which the moss that is laughed at and the niggerheads and the brush that is pointed too, grew and thrived. He is taking with him what is considered small fortune even in these days of wealth. and he made every single cent of that money from raising selling Alaska potatoes. vegetables and hay Ana while he titled the soil. while he cleared the ground. while he built his root house and put up his fenc- es. he lived and lived well. from the same vegetables, He killed his own meat and 1t was always fresh for he kept it in a cache which he built from wood that he chopped on his own land. Five years in a wilderness five years in the hunters paradise five years in the Golden Heart oi the Golden North and he is returning to his home rich man.
 The man who bought the ground has practically the same experience as has Mir Crozier He made most o' the money he used to buy the Croziel property by raising the products ol the Alaska soil.

NO JOBS WAITING IN THE NORTH

 The warning issued by Chairman Mears of the Alaska Engineering Commission that no more men are needed for work on the railroad should be needed by laborers contemplating trip to the North this season. His statement makes it plain that those who take chance at obtaining employment on this great enterprise will be bitterly disappointed
 There will be no openings for period of at least several weeks to come" The Commission has "an ample supply of labor both skilled and unskled Whenever. in the future. help is needed prom ise is made to send out notices to that effect
 This in brief is the businesslike announcement given out by Mir Mears Opportunities for employ ment at this time are better in the States than in the section through which the railroad is being built and promise to continue better long as the present period Of nationwide prosperity lasts

cAusrAD.s STATEMENTS AND THE FACTS

Senator Gaustad m a statement Co the Fairbanks >,,,ys,finer printed in connection with the letter from pelerate wickersham heretofore appearing in The Empire. in which the Delegate told the terms npon which he would accept the Republican nomina- ,on for Delegate Co Congress by the Republican convention. says:
 Much has been said and written about the
 alleged combination between Delegate WICK
 ersham and the Republican boss. Shackieiora
 for the control of the political patronage oi
 Alaska in exchange for the Republican nom
 nation for the delegateship
 ~Au of these stories have emanated rom
 Che same source-the Juneau Empire-and
 have been instigated>by the said shaekesord
 for the sole purpose Of discrediting the Deie
 gate with the people of Alaska. It was so
 systematically and persistently iterated ana
 reiterated as to cause even some oi the
 warmest supporters Of Mr. Wickersnan to
 give credence Co the report believing that
 the nneau boss had been induced to quit
 bv wealthy political aspirants whose ambi
 tions could never be realized in the face or
 violent opposition from Mir. Wickersham.
 .No one who knows Mir. Wckersham and
 fs fan,iliar with the bitter fight which he has
 made against the Republican ring believed that
 he had entered into any agreement with MT
 Shackieford or anyone representing him. That
 srch rnbeef was well founded and that the
 relecate can always be depended upon Co
 friistrate the deep laid plots of his enemies IS
 well shown in the open letter to the dele
 gates to the Republican convention at Sew
 ard"
 As is usual with the Wiekersham brigade. when discussing political questions Senator Gausad mis- represents. The stories told about the Republican combination did not emanate from The Empire The Empire only printed the news concerning the matter in its daily work of printing "Al the News Al the Time AS matter of precaution in its desire 10 be accurate i did not print anything concerning the terms of the deal that was entered into by Delegate wickersham and the regular Republicans. therefore Senator Gaustad's statement Of what were the prr- ported terms of the combination refues his allegation as to the source of the referred stories However the terms of the compact an open secret and were passed by word of mouth throughout the Ter ory. and printed in the newspapers of the Westward and they were about as Senator Gaustad states them Furthermore. the letter from Delegate wickersham to the Republicans of Alaska upon which Mir Gaus tad based his assertion that there combination between the Delegate and the regular Republicans onv denies allegations as the terms Of the combna ton-about which The Empire never commente-- and is on ts face an admission that he was dealing with the regulars" and thus disposes of Senator caus,ads white winged and angelsweet words about

There is no question but that there has been a wonderful reversal of public sentiment since the ar rival of the German note It looks now if President Wilson would again accept the promise of Germany and as if the future would depend upon the sincerity of Germany keep her pledge.
