|S LOOKING TO
 ALASKA

Speaking of the agricultural possi- bilities of the territory in his annual report Governor Strong declares that the population is now coming to re claim the wilderness and establish homes. In the past year hundreds of homesteads have been taken up, crops of various kinds have been planted. live stock brought into the territory, dairies have been started, and an era of permanent agricultural possibilities of Alaska are no longer a matter of doubt. The territory offers to many people an opportunity for attaching themselves to the soil It is an ac- cepted fact that there are too many idle men in the cities of this nation and too many idle acres in the coun- try. Alaska needs population in order that it's many latent resources may be developed, and to do this, access to the territory's agricultural lands should be made as free as possible The man who is anxious to till the soil is fairly entitled to every encour- agement that the government can give him. Unnecessary restriction should be removed he should receive aid from the government if he needs it. for a period of years, by the advance ment of money to be returned at low rate of interest within a stipulated time. But what about the markets for his product? These will be pro vided by the industrial development of the territory. It may be stated as postulate that Alaska is quite cap able of producing all the farm pro ducts that will be needed by a popu lation of several millions, with the possible exception of wheat. And 1t is quite within the realm of probabil- ity that enough wheat can be grown to supply all the demands. The Ne mana valley is potentially the wheat field of Alaska. But it is, compara- lively speaking, an unbroken wilder ness.
 It has been estimated that Alaska has 30,000 square miles of agricultural lands, besides tracts suitable for grazing.
 The white population of Alaska is now estimated at 44,0O0, an increase of 5000 in the past year. and the governor fully believes that the cen sus of 1920 will show population of at least 100000 Alaska in time will have large population of fisher folk. who, while prosecuting their marine occupations. vii lalso cultivate the land where they have found an chorage grounds for their homes.

ever live in such a place.
You can 90 in to the graveyads
and about two-thirds Of the graves

you what the climate means to the

heart goes back to Dening and the
beautiful sunshine.

Of the Graphic that ] might know

makes me homesick indeed to think
Of the pleasantness Of that climate
while here we are having rain and

well they are in that climate, it con-

KAKAPOS TAKEN IN SHARES
Simple Trick That Is Resorted TO by
New Zeaanders to Trap These
Wary Birds.

The New Zealand kakapo, or large
parrot, with all it's credit for brains,
allows itself to be caught in a very
simple manner. In the dusk of the
early dawn the Maoris, carrying tame
kakapos tied to long sticks, set OIL to
hunt. These are the call birds used
to attract by their screams the large
focks Of kakapos flying overhead.
While one Maori tethers the call birds
by the leg and sets them screaming TO
the full extent of their lusty lungs. an
other cuts as many perches as there
are men in the hunting party from the
neighboring bush. By means of flax
bands these are dashed firmly to difter-
ent parts of little hut or WHARF TN
which the hunters secrete themselves),
so as to act as perches for the unsus-
pecting birds. Each perch is so fixed
that it can be drawn down into the
WHARF through the roof. On the perches
are placed running nOoses of TAX, and
when all is prepared each Maori sits
quietly within the WHARF with his lax
cord in his hand ready TO pun Ut the
right moment. The call birds are then
disturbed by means Of long stick, and
presently a large flock of parrots, hear
ing their cries, wheel down and settle
with great chattering in the adjacent
trees. One by one they fly and set
tie on the perches of the WHARF to hold
converse with the call birds, and when
every perch is occupied a Maori gives
the signal and the nOoses are pulled.
The hubbub of screaming and scold1ng
as each perch with it's captured parrot
is drawn down into the WHARF can be
best imagined. 1t is only equaled by
the frantic excitement of the Maoris
as they grasp the birds by the neck
and throw them aside dead.

BRITISH LION REALLY SCOTCH
Fergus the First of Scotland, as
Proved by the Records, Took the
Animal as Device.

The British lion is not British, after
all, in the broad sense, but strictly
speaking, Scottish. This, of course,
sounds like contradiction, and 1t Is.
But it seems that, officially, birds and
animals as national emblems are not
always the ones most favored or
thought by all the most appropriate.
1t is curious condition Of things.
A writer in the London Graphic calls
attention to the case of the British"
lion. for instance. Fergus of Scot
land, the records show, took the lion
as device long before English Occur
de Lion, while the three little beasts
in the English quarters of the national
shield are properly leopards, not lions.
Nor is that all, While the English
make a pictorial parade of the lion,
they personify themselves as "John
Bull" for the bull is stronger than the
lion and more consistently brave and
dignified, and it is to their fine cattle
the British partly owe the prosperity
which the feline monarch has done
nothing to help. Indeed, both lion and
unicorn have come out badly during
this war. An English officer has been
killed by lion and other lions have
raided army stores of live stock in
Africa, and the rhinoceros, the real
unicorn, has shown himself more de-
cidedly pro-German by raiding motors
carrying British troops, whereas a bull
In Belgium, let loose on the approach
of the Germans, turned on them and
slew many before he fell.
Continental nations have generally
played very strong on the eagle, which
comes down to them from old Rome,
and is certainly a grand type Of force.
But, after all, modern France takes the
cock as the national bird, and not only
the pun upon gallus, but the knightly
behavior of this most gallant of feath-
cred creatures, makes it most typical
Of the great nation which has always
been In front, and learned and suffered
for the rest of humanity.

these she meant to throw between
him and all that terrible past. They
were her power, and she meant to
use them all. He dared not think of
accepting her sacrifice.
"But Ray YOU dear, noble girl -

"Oh, you'll be well some day. she
replied. "And listen. l have money.

to love my home. It's beautiful OLD

''My darlingr' cried Duane, broken

Yet he knew in his heart that he
was yielding to her, that he could not
resist her a moment longer. What
was this madness of love?
well be happy" she whispered.
ooh, know. Come come !-come !"
Her eyes were closing, heavy-lidded.
and she lifted sweet, tremulOus, wait
ing lips.
With bursting heart Duane bent to
them. Then he held her, close pressed
to him, while with dim eyes he looked
out over the line of low hills in the
west, down where the sun was setting
gold and red, down over the Nueces
and the wild brakes of the Rio Grande
which he was never to see again.
1t was in this solemn and exalted
moment that Duane accepted happi-
ness and faced new life, trusting this
brave and tender woman to be strong
er than the dark and fateful passion
that had Swallowed his past.
It would come back-that wind of
flame, that madness to forget, that
driving, relentless instinct for blood.
1t would come back with those pale,
drifting, haunting faces and the ac-
cusing fading eyes, but all his life,
always between them and him, render
ing them powerless, would be the faith
and love and beauty of this noble
woman.
