Manager Christensen of the Land
and Industrial Department states in
his report on the farm lands Of the
railroad country:
"Since the advent of the railroad
there has been an influx of several
thousand people and there is now a
demand for more products than the
farmer can supply. Matanuska is
located in the heart of the Matanuska
Valley, and will be distributing point
for the farmers. Nearly all of these
farmers devote their time Exclusively
10 agriculture because they have al
ways been assured of a market and of
high prices for their products"

TROUT TIME

1t is only of late l have learned 10
know
The JOY OF a rod and line,
And a gunny sack. and some wiggly
worms
On a day that is sunny and fine.
Add to this array a stream we'll stock
ed
With trout that are hungry to bite
Why, I'll tell you friend. you have
found the gate
To the land of Hearts Delight.
The shoes that were shiney and
clothes hat were clean
Before you left the town,
Are muddy and wet. but you are not
a jot,
As you wade up the stream or down.
The birds that wabble above your
head
Are not half so happy as you,
For the babbling brook puts a song n
your heart
That thrills you through and
through.
Say farewell to the city and fish
awhile,
And feel your heart grow light;
For there's nothing on earth that can
worry a man
While the speckled trout still bite.

distance away.
Alvira and Lopez superintendent the
work, and when everything was ready
I they FASTENED to the servants quarters,
where they warned the Mexicans to
take their belongings and escape.
While this was being done, the horses
were brought up and held outside the

Manuel had previously gone to his

get his things together and start for
Mexico City. where he would be safe
until everything was over. The old
man had needed his sons advice and
was busy packing up his belongings.
When Manuel returned to the horses
he found Liberty and Therese had been
taken from tho hut. They were stand
ing outside, struggling madly with the
Mexicans who were binding them. Lo-
PEI and Alvira stood looking on in grim
delight.
Then Lopez directed his men to put
Liberty and Therese on the horses

Now 1t happened that Libcrty's horse
had stopped right beside the man, who
stood with his hand on the handle Of
the detonator. Her courage rose. She
summoned oil her reserve strength, and
with one mighty effort threw herself
from the saddle and landed on the
Mexican. The impact forced the mans
body down on the handles Of the de-
tonator, and an instant later q terrible
report was heard, followed by a ire
mendous crash.
Lopez and his men turned and
looked. A great cloud Of thick, black
smoke before them to q height Of
a hundred feet, followed by blast after
blast as the dynamite exploded, send

The explosion wrecked the hacienda
