Food is very scarce in Unga, and Kondike prices are being charged by the Alaska Goldfish Company, which has the only available means of trans portation here since the steamer Dora left the run. Prices are as high or higher than in the old boom days of the territory. Coal is $37 ton: Carr ttion milk is D cents a can straight; sugar is 15 cents per pound. and flour is ST barrel, and pur. chasers must still take the substi- tutes
 For long time now the company has limited coal to one sack at a pur- chase and gallon ofkerosene at 8 time.
 It is earnestly hoped that another boat will take the Dora's place this summer, as conditions here are be- coming unbearable.-yaldez Miner.

Suppose, when the roll was called at

Gen. Pershing, "the weather Is too in
clement for me to be there this morn
ing!" Yet we send word to our Lord
on Sundays and Wednesdays that the
weather is not suitable for us to be

I have seen q truck train a mile long
moving to the front on rainy. pitch

on the front tenders for hours so as

At the request of ]. Skattowe Wan

Wannamaker told Senator McLaurin

is fit for. When the amendment pass

a matter of fact it has always been a
violation Of law to deliver this unmer-

think it is Mr.. Brands duty to consider
the Smith amendment as legislative
Interpretation act and not allow any
difference whatever between the olo
and the new contracts.
1.-The only legitimate function OF a

BUSINESS OF THE FARMER.
Cannot Pay Good Wages Because II
Does Not Control Product Prices.

Cannot Pay Good Wages Because II
Does Not Control Product Prices.
"An employment agency in one Of
the largest cities in Texas states that
out of 1000 applicants for employ
ment, not one asked to be sent to work
on a farm" B. Harris, commissioners
of agriculture says In an interview
just given out. What does that mean?
Merely that farm life is not remunera-
tive enough and not attractive enough
for the young men Of our country.
Why should not our young men on
the farm be paid as much as cotton
mill operatives or the man at the forge?
The only answer that can see is that
the man on the farm Is not allowed to
fix the price Of what he produces.
1--WE are now engaged in q fight to
the finish, a fight which means that
the south must forever submit to ac-
cept with the submission Of beggars
the price that MI. be fixed by indi-
viduals that have never worked, or
the south will now emerge master Of
the situation and able to place upon
it's own commodity the price which
the south sees At. The coal miners OF
England and the diamond mines OF
Africa do not say that they will ac-
cept any price that may be offered
them-they tell the world what 1t must
give.
Now, with regard to the cotton. I
wish to call attention to some singular
facts. The largest cotton crop ever
grown in the United States yielded
less to the producer than one Of the
smallest. That doesn't appear reeson-
able, but it is q fact. The great crop
of 1912 which was 16,184,930 bales
brought in cash to the producers but
$50, 100000, while the small crop Of
two years ago, 11,302,375 bales brought
in cash to the producer $1,667. 900.
In other words we grew in 1912 for
nothing 4,S32,555 bales.
This should be the very strongest
evidence possible to convince the farm
er that the right thing and the best
thing for him to do is to take warn
people are urging him to do-curtail
the acreage and the fertilizer 90 1-8
per cent.
THE farmer should not raise large
crop this year and thereby should sell
it for profit and not merely for the
cost Of production or less. 1t is much
better to raise five bales to the horse
and make a profit on them than 1t Is
to raise ten bales at a loss to the farm
er. AS surely as the cotton farmers
grow a big crop this year. just that
surely they will grow 1t at loss.
What will the farmers gain by
growing a 100000 bale crop this
year that will cost them at least 26
cents per pound with high priced fer
tilizer and high priced labor? Now,
just stop and think and remember
that you farmers can make the crop
profitable or improbable. Which shall
| it be?"
Commissioner Harris Is no convert
to the new idea of mixed farming. for
he has been trying 1t for 81 years. The
first year that he began to farm, he
failed because he planted all cotton.
But since that time he has been en-
gagged in what is now known as diver
sifled farming. and he II living ex-
ample that 1t pays.

announcement issued simultaneously
said this action would destroy lts apll-
