DAWSON WANTS AN ALL
 CANADIAN RAILROAD

DAWSON, Y. T., May 31 (by Asso. ciated Press).-Klondike business men are considering asking the Can adian government to look into a pro- posal for the construction of a rail. road into Dawson from Southern Can. ada, thus giving the Klondike country an "All Canada" route from the outside world. Traffic into the Dawson sec tion now crosses twentymile stretch of Alaska between Skagway and White Horse, Y. T.
 The railroad plans were laid before the Yukon Development League re- gently. Proposals have been made that the line connect in the south with some Canadian transcontinental rail. road and then run north touching at White Horse, Atlin and other south. ern Yukon valley points.
 Although the road probably would cost millions, it is said, 1t would open a great undevelopment country be. lieved to be rich in copper, silver and timber.

ARIZONA'S NEW WHEAT
 OF EXCELLENT QUALITY

| PHOENIX, Ariz., May 31 (by As sociated Press). Arizona Number 39, a wheat originated at the state ex- perimental station at Mesa, near here, was one of the principal attractions of the farm bureaus semi-annal field dis play held at the station today. The new wheat, which was pronounced by experts to be of excellent quality, is being multiplied as rapidly as possible in order to obtain seed for distribution purposes.
 The new variety is said to have been found to surpass early Baart wheat in both yield and quality, and there also is claimed the added ad- vantage of it's being beardless.
 In all 200 plots of grains, legumes, cotton and sorghums were on display. Under the direction of Frank H. Parker, president of the county farm bureau, the program was started at g o'clock in the morning with tractor and other machinery demonstrations. Demonstrations in home economies were conducted by Amy L. Dinsmore, county home demonstration agent of the University of Arizona extension service, while B. B. Oxley, county leader of boys and girls club work, also superintended exhibitions along the same line.
 The hundreds of visitors inspected the experimental plots on the farm, it was declared, found there the most complete facilities fo grain study thus far shown in the state.
 During the afternoon speeches were delivered by Governor Campbell, Dr.. R. B. von Klein Smid, president of the state university, N. D. Working, dean. of the university and director of the experimental farms. and Professor C.. E. Thompson, chairman of the com mittee managing the field today.
