ALIEN ENEMIES |NTERNEDAT
 NENANA

FAIRBANKS, July 23 That the government officials are completely in control of the strike situation a. Nenana and that the back bone ol the strike was broken by the arrest of the strike leaders, is the opinion expressed by United States Marshal Erwin of Fairbanks. With the main agitators in government custody there is but litle doubt that the right think. ing men among the strikers will verl shortly lead the remainder back to work, in the opinion of the marshal.
 The chief instigators of the strike according to Marshal Erwin, were Charles Lestor, Robert Smith, Hen ry Miller and Fred Beringsohn. Al are now in federal custody, while Les ter is in jail at Nenana, under sen tance on the charge of seditious libel Smith, Miller and Beringsohn are in termed charged with being enemy liens. The marshals office is now the informed Germans; whether tc waiting for instructions from Wash ington relative as to what to do with he interned BGermans; whether to send them to the internment camp of the State of Washingon or keep them here. In the meantime they have been lodged in the federal jail
 These three men are not the only ones who should be interned, in the opinion of Marshal Erwin. There are numbers more at Nenana and also some here as well, and it is his inten- tion to round them all up. "Tn fill this jail so full of them that their feet will stick out of the windows" said the Marshal.
 "We are at war, said Marshal Erwin, "and a lot of stuff that we tolerated before we entered the great struggle will not be allowed now. And it is my hope that every cit izen of this country will see to it that men who make unpatriotic re- marks are reported to me-"

CHILDREN MATURE EARLY
 IN WESTERN WASHINGTON

SEATTLE, July 23- "The early maturity of childern in the western part of Washington is equalled in no other part of the world so far North. said Judge King Dykeman in re. sent address at the university. Judge Dykeman has for three years been judge of the King County juvenile court, and a part of the time of the divorce court also.
 "The average mother and father are ignorant of the fact, the early matur- ing of their children physically" said the judge. "The lack of paternal sympathy at this critical time in a child's life accounts for many cases brought in the juvenile court.

MADE $1,000
OUT OF HOGS


1t is getting to be long drawn out
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many OF
them a few years ago. came TO the
country with little more than their
few household effects, probably team
Of horses and q cow or two, and sum-
cient money to do them for few
months, until they got start. Hun
dreds of such can be pointed out, who
today have splendid homes, well
equipped farms, the latest machinery
and an automobile. Here is the case
Of A. e. Merriam, formerly Of Devils
Lake, N. d. He didn't leave there be-
cause the land was poor, or farming
not a success, for all who know that
country are aware that it Is an excel
lent country. He wanted to expand,
to take advantage Of the cheap land
that Western Canada offers. And that
same story has appealed to hundreds
of others who have had like success
with Mr.. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs 1t, too, is:
II came to Alberta In the Spring OF
1909 from Devils Lake, North Dakota,
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
II arrived with six head Of horses
and two head Of cattle and about
$500. Since then. have increased
my live stock to seven head Of horses,
four head Of cattle, and about one hun
dred head Of hogs, four-roomed
house, good barn with oil modern i'm
provements, feed grinder, elevator,
chopper, tanning mill, etc. have in
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here.
From the feeding of hogs during
the last year, l had o gross return Of
5000.
II first started grain farming, but
during the past four years have made
hogs my specially, and you may see
by. the foregoing statement for 1916
that have not done so badly.
Land has increased at least twenty
per cent in value during the past few
years, now selling for from $25 to $50
per acre, with nominal taxes of about
1927 quarter section yearly.
THE climate here is better than Da-
kota In that we do not have so much
dry wind; the winters are similar to
Dakota.
LAS for farming in general, the grow
ing and feeding Of live stock Is more
sure than the grain farming. If con-
tinued year after year, and If every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
of the grain growers in the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,
l feel satisfied with my success in
Alberta"
(Sgd) A. e. MERRIAM.
