pleased with the fact that ~ had
saved considerable amount cf time
and labor by using the same piece

with beets the proposition u differ

this and still raised = good crop Of
beets, but II the ground has been
thoroughly plowed Il ID quite likely
that the Increase in the yield Of beets
would have more than paid for get-
ting the ground In good shape. .eev-
eral years ago man In this nelgh-
borhood boasted that he had no
spring work to do. He planted his
beets in old ground with NO more
plowinE than had been given II With
the beet puller In the fall previous.
About the first OF June he went all
over the vicinity hunting teams to
plow his ground. The beets had
come up in fine shape. but the weeds
were close to the surface and made
such vigorous growth that they
choked the beets. They could have
been checked by thorough cultiva-
tion. but the unplowed ground was
so hard that u cultivator was useless.
Not all that use this method have
such an unpleasant experience. but
Il is likely to occur and even II the
ground-hard from irrigation from
the year before--prevents the beets
from making the growth they could
In well prepared soil.

That all of Alaska is in doubt as to the outcome of the election of dele- gate Is shown by the number of tele- grams received by the Nugget from papers of the principal towns from Fairbanks to Anchorage.
 There is ground for supposing that dispatches emanating from Juneau claim Sulzers election because of esti- mates rather than from the returus. The Nuggets disaptch from the En- pire of Juneau gave Wickersham 1901 votes several days ago with fifteen precincts still unheard from. Other Juneau dispatches have since given wickersham only 1745 with some of those precincts added to the score. That additional precincts had been heard from is shown by the increase of Sulzer's vote from 2146 as shown in the Nugget dispatch to 2226 in the later message. That Sulzar should gain 80 votes and Wickersham go back 56 votes by later returns Is not possible. There must be Q mistake somewhere either In the tabulation I of one set of figures which Is possible or in their transmission over the wire which Is not probable.

If a skilled cross country musher should be secured to make the trip, another route could be followed which would get the news to St. Mich. ael in four days and that route would be straight across country. As no returns have yet come from Marshal 1t is likely that this was not attempted.
 Probably the Marshal officials arc not so anxious to get the returns out as Alaskans are to hear them and they may be entrusted to the mlii or casual travel. Owing to these facts and the additional fact that the trail from Marshall in either direc- ton Is bad at this time of year 1t Is possible that waiting territory may not hear the results from that section for couple of weeks.
