 IN ALASKA IS
 ENCOURAGING Over 300 Homesteaders Are Now Busy Farming in the Matanuska
 Valley. SOME FARMING FACTS Some of the Potatoes from That Section Recently Shipped to Idaho
 Flour Mills.
SOME FARMING FACTS

ANCHORAGE, May 20. - Develop ment of agricultural resources this season along the Government rail. road north of Anchorage promises encouraging results.
 About 1,0O0. acres of land, held by about 300 homesteaders, in the Mat anuska and Susitna Valleys, which are between 36 and 65 miles from Anchorage, were under cultivation last year. While this area will not be materially increased this season. it will be made to yield more di- versified and, undoubtedly, more prof itable crops. The ground last year was planted entirely to root crops, particualrly potatoes. Large tracts this season have been seeded to grains and put into hay
 The production of potatoes last season was in excess of the de mands of the local market High steamship rates last fall prevented, the shipment on a commercial basis of the vegetables to other Alaska coast towns or to Seattle A reduc tion in the water freight charge on potatoes early this Spring, making it $4OO per ton, enables them to compete in the markets of South western and Southeastern Alaska with tubers from the States. As a consequence, shipments of Matanuska potatoes, on orders, have been made to Brown & Hawkins, of Seward ; Blum-O'Neill Company, Finkelstein & | Sapiro, the Carlisle Packing Com | pany. and the Canoe Pass Packing Company, of Cordova; the Kennecott Corporation, of Kennecott; the B. M | Behrends Company, w. R. Mills, the Sanitary Grocery, and the Juneau | Fruit Company, of Juneau; the Alas
 ka Gastineau Mining Company, ol | Thane; J. R. Heckman, of Ketchi
 kan, and the Storf & Refling Csm | pany, of Petersburg.
 Fifty bushels of Matanuska pota
 oes, on the suggestion of Governor 1 Thomas Riggs Jr., recently were
 'hipped by the Matanuska Farmers l Association, to Idaho Falls, Idaho
 where the vegetables will be tested
 IS to their value in connection with
 he manufacture of potato flour in

EXCELLENT PROGRAM IS RENDERED AT RECITAL BY MRS. DAWES PUPILS

It was a more than pleasing pro gram rendered by the pupils of Mrs.
 L. P. Dawes at the Methodist Church Wednesday night. The music lovers of Juneau showed their appreciation by their ready response to the num- bers rendered.
 The program was varied and well arranged. Mrs Dawes pupils showed that they had been drilled in those
 qualities that make for good interpre tation and real artistic values. The first number on the program ! was by Xenia Christensen. She played
 Gypsy Dance," with a spirited touch and with the confidence of a sea soned musician. a
 The vocal duet by Misses Cupples
 and Dyer was Verdi's Home to Our
 Mountains. It was well interpreted Miss Cupples shows excellent training as we'll as dramatic ability in her
 songs. Miss Dwyer's song was sym
 pathetically appealing.
 Little Harriett Barragar compelled spontaneous applause from the au
 dience by her delightful piano solo
 'The Running Bird" Although the
 youngest pupil she showed marked ability and her future work as a musi
 elan will be watched with interest. One of the most artistic contribu
 tions to the program was the piano solo Second Muzurka." by Carrie l, Cragg. Miss Craggs technique was perefect and she brought out those voice tones through the medium of the piano that all of Mrs. Dawes pu-
 pills seem to understand so well and
 which made the program so unique. Nadia Kashevaroff gave an excel lent interpretation of Saint SaeRs, My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice." and
 Mary Kashevaroff was pleasing as usual in Greig's Solveig Song, from Peer Gynt. Mary Kashevaroff's clear youthful tones were well adapted to the song selected, and her voice is charming.
 Miss Cupples' solo from Lucia De Lammermoor closed the program This song showed her voice off to advantage and was well rendered.
 Mrs. Dawes is to be congratulated on the splendid work done by her pupils. There is every evidence that good music is being more and more appreciated these days and to know that the talent in Juneau is being we'll cared for is an inspiration to those with musical ability and who desire to develop it.
