THE NEW RUSSIA

Russia has always been known a!
nation of vast size and population
But, in its former governmental state
this country has never attracted
much attention from the people of the
United States, who have been wont
to look upon it as a nation of me-
diaeval customs and conditions. The
sudden change from a monarchy to
democracy would tend to disprove
this idea. Let us look at this coun-
try, which is now our ally, pledged to
fight to the end for the principles of
democracy, and see the new Russia
in the true light of her power and re-
sources.
Russia is three times the size of
America and more than forty times
the area of France. The forests of
the North contain millions of acres
of the finest timber, while the indus
trial region around Moscow and War
saw supplies the people with all the
clothing and textiles they need. South
of Moscow, in little Russia" is one
of the most productive areas in the
world. Corn, wheat, rye, buckwheat.
maize, oats and other cereals, grapes,
tobacco and sugar-beets are grown in
abundance. The "rich granary of
Siberia" could alone grow sufficient
grain to supply the whole of Europe.
These resources have led authori-
ties to declare that Russia could. if
necessary, carry on a defensive war
for years without feeling the need of
importing anything from abroad But
let us look at the people of Russia
and see if these wonderful resources
are backed by nationality that can
stand an equal test
The peasants are the backbone of
the Russian army" for of the $780,
100000 population 12O,OOO,OOO are
peasants. The hardness of these
peasants. who can undergo extreme
hardships. is partly offset by super
stition and ignorance, but the COM
mon people have fatalistic view of
life that leads them to say SHEEN
copjeka' Qife is a farthing). They |
look not upon battle as a sanguin- |
ary fight, but as the defense of their |
faith, government and country" says
one writer. 1t was due to the bull
dog tenacity of these peasants that
made it possible for Russia to carry
on war for ten years against Ma
poleon, beginning with their crushing
defeat at Austerlitz and ending with
the capture of Paris and the downfall
of Napoleon.
Russia has re-entered the struggle
against Prussian dominance and.
through her new minister to the
United States. NJ Bakmetieff. pledged
herself to continue her struggle on
the eastern front until the safety of
democracy is assured for all time to
come. The recent achievements of
her army under General Brusiloff
have proved that her leaders are fired
with the spirit that insured the inde-
pendence of our own nation in 1776.
Her resources in supplies and men
make defeat at the hands of the Cen

that no American constitution, ex-

on the subject.-Sherman L. Whipple.

JUNEAU PAID HALF THE PUR-

One of the wonders of the world nowadays is the price paid to Rus sIa tor Alaska. We have all come Jo look at that seven millions as a sort Of a joke like the old joke of muu paying the recording fees for some claim that produced mil lions. h the last fiscal year the amount Of merchandise shipped to Juneau from the States was just worth haii the total amount paid lor the whole territory. The amount of hard cash paid the Unit cd States government in revenues alone since the territory was bought was two and a hall times as much as the price of the territory.

ALASKA FARMING

Farmers who are pioneering Al ass agriculture along the govern ment railroad rigbt-of-way and discovering what crops may be best produced there are ureparing to shC~ the world what the soil of the Territory is capable Of raising, this coming season. To this end commercial bodies, land owners and agriculturists are cooperating to get the idle land iu use.
 There is not only need for nd- yertising Alaska's possibilities by concrete evidence of what may be produced, but there is a large home demand for the products. In the Matanuska district the soil is par ticularly adapted to the growing of potatoes, clover and timothy, and garden vegetables yield abundantly. Thousands ot men are working on railroad construction, and their commissary demands are very heavy. Local merchants have agreed to buy all the potatoes that can De produced, while hay is in con- tinuous demand and garden yeget- pbles find 9 ready market. All the available cleared Ind is to be de- voted to some form Of agricultural production.
 The district is to be made a great outdoor exhibit of Alaska agricultural possibilities, and the resulting publicity will mean much to the Territory. Alaska as a farming country is 9 new idea to most Americans. The Eastern farmer who views the territorial crop will be in no doubt as to what he may accomplish as a set tier on government land. - Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

BIG ORE BODIES
 ARE LOCATED

Within the past few days a body Of ore 37 feet in width has been located on the 500 foot level of the Pueblo mine, says the Whttehorse S:ar, and as is natural Manager w. D, Greenough is iubilant over the outlook for the future of the mine. The grade of the ore Is about the same as that encountered on the upper levels.
 A large body of high grade ore has also been lOcated on the 15O foot level Of the Grafter. The min CTS on the Crater have been work ing for many months on the low CT levels in rich deposits of cor per, but the strike on the 150 lev el came somewhat as a surprise not ouly for it's richness but on ae- count cf It's extent.

FEIDLE HAD HARD RUN

Dawson News, Feb. g.: simmie FeIdle, who brought in the last stagn from Whitehorse, made the entire run over the route from Wni.enorse to Dawson in the cold est stretch of the winter, One day he covered 70 miles, from Nor denskicld to Carmacks. That day it was 70 to 75 below, he says, along that part of the route, and little head wind was blowing. He had s.arted under orders to go three posts a day, and through that hitIng temperature reeled off the prescribed distance.
 RaleY, of horses were used that day, but Simmit stayed with the bex and drew on the frosty rib bous from 6 in the morning until 12 o'clock at night. A warm meal at each place, and he was ready to hit the trail again. From Carmacks to Dawson he came thru under slower orders, making only two posts a day, but in tempera- ture of 60 to 70 below, which, he states, with the little wind, was fierce on the face.
 simmie says that this trip was the worst he has encountered in the years he has driven on the route. For the first time his nose and cheeks were frozen, and nipped over large portion. He came in win large blister patches on all parts of his face.-Whitehorse star.

 GETS HOMESICK

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Having noticed the article previously written in your paper by our sergeant Dave Norwood, take the libert.T of writ ing more concerning the Fourth Alabama regiment and the Alabama brigade as well the boys camp life on the border Perhaps it would be interesting to the parents and friends of the Alabama boys to know how they spent the past few hol- idays
 Our daily routine of drill has been omit ted for the past two weeks so the boys could enjoy the Christmas holidays And they were enjoyed to the fullest extent. Parcels and packages were received from parents friends and sweethearts as well. All the boys would look time after time through their packages for fear some thing had been overlooked. AnL to make Christmas like Christmas we had a four inch snow, the first snow or rain to wit ness since we have been in the land of no man, Arizona"
 Uncle Tommy is not a bit tight when it comes to feeding his boys. The only thing missing at our Christmas dinner was mother. The last of the holidays was New Years. All were given the liberty of seeing the Arizona Cattlemen's exhibi- ton of broncho riding and steer roping. Now the holidays are over and our daily routine of drill resumed and to ride our bronchos over the snow clad hills of Arizona, more beautiful scene you never saw. But we like that of Birmingham better. With our tents walled up and each furnished with stove, we are in perfect comfort.
 The health of the Fourth Alabama regi- ment is considered splendid. Maj. John w. Watts, Captains Robert A. Burns, William w. Long, William M. Peters and Lieut.. Malcolm G. Dabney compose the medical officers and better roster is hard to find. Our first sergeant, Joseph M Otwell, deserves word of good mean ing. Always willing to help sick soldier, and is liked by all
 Just when we will return home no one knows But the longer our stay the more benefit we get No more pale faces, but rich, rosy cheeks, a full chest. almost perfect specimen of young Hercules. we will return to meet our friends and loved ones So, little girl. don't worry.
