tatoes and hardy vegetables are grown
to perfection. Barley, rye, oats and
sometimes wheat are to be found as
well. Cattle too are raised in large
numbers and the time seems not far
distant when the territory will be able
to feed herself. Wild berries grow in
profusion, while the wild flowers that
cover the hills growing even at the
foot of the glaciers are the most beau
tiful in the world. Thriving villages
and bustling towns with all the mod
ern improvement have sprung up and
the primitive miners hut is rapidly
becoming a thing OF the past. The
prospector with his bean pot and
bacon who cooked his meals on the
hills has gone out of fashion and the
man who comes to seek his fortune in
Alaska today is usually a we'll dressed
man with scientific information and
some ability as a geologist and engt-
neer. The development of the great
territory has just begun for there are
thousands OF acres Of land that have
never been trodden upon by the white
man and undeveloped riches unsur-
passed in the world.
To the hunter It is a perfect para
disc for bear. moose, caribou. wolves
and mountain goats abound; among
the smaller game are foxes, rabbits
and offers as we'll as such game as
the ptarimigan, swan. snipe, plover,
grouse, partridge, wild duck and wild
goose. All OF these are plentiful as
the hunting grounds are not overrun
with sportsmen.
Alaska offs the tourist scenery
equal to that found anywhere in the
world. 1t boasts of the highest noun
tain in North America, Mt. Mckinley,
which lifts its snow-capped head more
than 10000 feet above sea level It's

the exception of some recently dis

Wild Scenes Along The Road.
The stories told by the ambulance
drivers Of their wild rides over shell
torn roads without lights and under
fire carrying bleeding soldiers seem
night after night these awful scenes
80 on. The mud bespattered ambu-
lances rush up to the dressing sta
tions, known to the French as postes
de secours, to carry the men to the
divisional hospitals. These places are
near tho front and the wounded are
carried there first, those who are able
to do so either walk or crawl. In one
instance well known surgeon had
his leg fractured by shell while at
tending a wounded man in trench.
He managed to crawl two miles to
the nearest dressing station stopping
to aid wounded men while on the way.
He finally lost consciousness and was
picked up by an ambulance man and
rushed to the hospital with others.
He recovered later and although
minus leg he is serving at one OF
the base hospitals.
Dressing Stations.
Only the very worst cases are at

of the men who are only slightly
wounded are able to dress their own
wounds by the use of the little first
aid packet, which every soldier car

Importance in North America, while
its copper product runs up to about
100000 worth per year. The best
copper mines are those Of Prince Will

There the ore is extremely rich and
the deposit extensive. About twelve
copper mines are now producing the
ore which is sent to Tacoma. Wash

lack of smelters. Later, according to
the report of Governor Strong, of
Alaska, smelters will be erected in the
territory, that is, when the supply Of
coal from the native mines is avail

countries as little short Of marvellous

eighteen thousand persons, and there
