What AIaskans Have to Say Regarding CuIti- vati0n of Soil in
 N0rthIand.

The 1918 report of the Alaska Ag- ricultural experiment stations by c. c. Georgeson is out and contains number of personal letters from Alaskans who have used seeds fur nished by the stations.
 The first of these reads: Walter II. Johnson. Togiak. Be- ring Sea.-In answer, to your of July 16, 1915, I wish to say that received the garden seed, and also bulletin No. 2 and reports, in which I was very much interested, and I hope that I may receive future re- ports.
 As to the farming possibilities in this locality, believe I am more op- timistic than others who have lived here longer than myself. I having come here two years ago from the Copper River Valley. find that the first thing to do with this tun- dra is to remove all the vegetation from the ground, and dig deep to get the sOurness out and at the same time put in fertilizer q have used nothing but salmon heads on my garden), and one can soon have piece of ground that will produce good crop of vegetables.

 It is expected that both Miss Cow els and Mrs. Smith again will be entrants in this years event and this for one reason, has done much to spur interest in the event. Mrs. Smiths supporters contend that not withstanding her disqualification last year she displayed her superiority over Miss Cowells.

 Feats of daring and bravery are plentiful in this story, but the more appealing tender love scenes have not been sighted. Mollie King is the lucky girl in this piece, but she has to undergo some pretty tough hardships in order to be discovered in Warwick's s arms when the pie ture finally fades from view.
 Another young lady who is less fortunate, but equally clever in the work she does in the play is Gerda Holmes. She appears as Miss Kings sister who is also in love with MT, Warwick, and her efforts to capture him for herself are very nearly sue cessful.
 This excellent feature will be shown for tonight only together with a number of special numbers by leading Juneau musical artists as a benefit for the uniform fund of the Juneau Home Guard.

JOHN BUCK WINS
HOG ISLAND TITLE
Defeats Mickey Carey and
Receives Two Months
Vacation With Pay
LARGE CROWD PRESENT

Johnny Buc, today is one of the
happiest men enrolled rs a worker at
Hog Island. Johnny has reason to be
joyous for las, evening he earned a
two months vacation with fulr pay. 1t
isn't often that one is given IA vacation
by a concern for his prowess in the bpX-
ing ring but such is the case with
Johnny Buck.
Last evening the employees of the
American International Shipbuilding
Corporation Of Hog Island held a mon
ster boxing carnival al Shibe Park.
While there We're many well-known
boxers OF yesterycars and the present
who performed in the padded ring, the
interest OF the 10000 laborcrs. clerks,
first class maChinists and what-not who
were in the grand stand and upper paw
lion centered in the siN-rourd encounter
between Johnny Buck and Mickey Carey.
These two boys. with only small
knowledge of the finer points of the
sport, went at il hammer and tongs.
What cared they if the temperature
was soaring up around the 90-degree
mark? What was one nights work COM
pared to two months vacation which
The winner was to receive? In the
first three frames both were little
nervous but starting with the fourth
they settled down to win the prize.
Buck had reach, height and weight on
his opponent and won every round but
the last. when Carey staged Il counter
attack and chased Buck around the
square circle. The fight and two months
vacation went 10 Buck.
Eddie O'Keefe and Bobby Lincoln, both
OF the Island, put on fight for three
rounds that did not meet the approval
of the crowd who bont the f1o ir after
each round. OKeefe knew too much for
his less experienced rival and after the
first round contented himself with hit
ting Lincoln on the chest and holdag
his swings much to the disgust of the
crowd who were anxious for a bloody
battle.
In the other bouts Johnny Downey and
Johnny Griffith drew in fast three
round encounter. Joe Theel beat Pete
Kraus. while Eddie McAndrews drew
with Henry Hauber Johnny Teal was
forced to stop in the first round of his
scheduled three-round bout with Bennie
Kaufman when he received a broken
tooth. '.
Lew Tender gave an exhibition three
round bout with Patsy Broderick. in
which he easily outpointed his rival
Tommie O'keefe won from Johnny Lin
coin in three fast rounds. Grover Hayes
and Kid Beebe boxed three farcical
rounds, which kept the crowd on their
toes all during the bout. George Fern
drew with Joe Coldie, Joe Phillips beat
Charley Siegel and vi vi Erue outpoint-
ed Johnny Crane.
Many ship filters, not content with the
bouts from the stands, got better places
of vantage by clumbing the rafters where
they seemed entirely at home. Others
