Secretary Meyer Takes Two Days TO
Travel SeveDty-fivc Miles Up the
shallow But Rapid SusdtIla River 10
Monarch OF Mountains.

How inaccessible our newest ma
tional park, Mount Mckinley, still re-
mains is graphically suggested in the
account which Herbert A. Meyer. as
sistant TO Secretary of the Interior
Lane. gives OF his last summers trip
INTO the great northwest in connection
with the Alaska railroad which the
government Is building. we had
reached Alaska by the inside passage
and from Seward, the seaboard ter
minal of the new railroad, had traN-
eled a hundred and fourteen miles by
rail to Anchorage, the present mead
quarters. where he was still a nun
dred and nifty miles from tho point
where the station for the Mount NC
Kinlev national park probably will be
located. His progress from Anchorage
toward Mckinley was picturesque
~T WAS making trip up the line
said Mr.. Meyer, with the intention of
going as far into the interior as my
limited time would permit We had
travelled bv rail until the end OF track
was reached and had then continued
by blackboard and saddle for many
miles over rough corduroy roads,
through dense underground, over half
forgotten trails. crossing sloughs
where the mud and muck would
be body-deep on the horses,
rordinr streams and swimming rapid
rivers until finally the bank OF the
Susitna river was reached have
no hesitation in saying that the sight

The Susitna, Ike most glacial
streams, IS exceedingly rapid and for
the most part very shallow, with jut-
ling rocks and eddies and wbiylpools
that tend TO make navigation difncult
and dangerous The problem con-
fronting the engineers at this point
was to find the most efficient and eco
uomical way by which men ana sup
plies could be transported further

sented themselves-of tuilding wagon

London, June 5.-"The British
farmer is the most skillful agricul-
t,lrist in the world" said the Duke
of Marlborough in an interview here,
discussing the new income tax meas
ures directed against the farming
classes.
"The war period has brought out
the value and virtues of the British
farmer as never before continued
the Duke 1.-The farmer has lost his
skilled men, and the difficulties due to
the war have made his pursuit more
and more irksome, but he has made
a supreme effort and the results have
exceeded all expectations.
The Duke declared that over-tax-
alton of the farmer would be a great
national disaster. "The farmer is
not profiteer," he explained. I'm
my opinion, profiteering as applied to
agriculture does not and never has
existed in this country. Those who
accuse the farmer of profiteering have
little or no knowledge of conditions.
Labor, feeding stuffs and machinery
have all advanced in manner out
of all proportion to the extra profits
reaped by the farmer. Today the
farmers net margin of profit on his
investment does not exceed ten or
twelve per cent,
"The question is, what does the
government consider a legitimate
profit for a man who stakes the whole
of his capital on an industry in which
he also expends the whole of his
labor and abilities? If the govern
ment will fix that percentage, and the
farmers profits are in excess of that
sum, then he may be accused of prof
iteering, but not till then.
"In industl m the returns on
capital are higher and the risks many
times less. For this reason people
prefer to invest in industrial enter.
prises, where they obtain large re-
turn without working for it, rather
than in the soil. If homegrown food
matters, then the profits gained from
agriculture should be in relation to
the profits gained elsewhere"
The success of the British farmers
labor during the war; in the Dukes
opinion, is due very largely to the
loyal support of women workers

1.-The women land workers have toiled
splendidly," he said. ''They have
filled the gaps on the farms, and con-
sidering that they have hitherto had
no experience in agricultural pursuits
they have shown an extraordinary ap-
titude for the work To use a we'll
worn statement of mine women can
supplement men but they cannot sup
plant them. We are not, and shall
never be, an agrarian people. Our
women are not fitted to toll on the

Mail Christmas Packages Early.

The Post Office Department has
again called attention to the adyisa-
olllty and necessity for mailing Christ
mas gifts early. Railroads will be tax
d to their capacity bringing home
lemobilized soldiers, tens of thous-
ands a day being discharged from
the home camps, and the troop move
ment from Europe is well under way.
The Christmas gift which is mailed
early is much more likely to reach it's
destination in good condition than
one that is mailed during the big rush
of business of the last two weeks, when
the only practical way to handle the
immense volume of business is to
send parcels to state terminal distrib-
buting points. Practically the same
force which handles the every day
business will have to handle the
Christmas rush, and there promises
to be even less baggage and mail car
space available. 1t would be impos-
sible to deliver every Christmas gift
on Christmas Day, so the words DO
not open until Christmas, should be
placed on every parcel mailed early.
