MAY MAKE ROAD
4 STATE HIGHWAY

starkweather, N. D., June 14.-An
effort is being made by the county
commissioners to have the road from
this city to Devils Lake made a state
highway. It is said that this road
carries as much traffic as any highway
in the state, and several Ears have
been ruined on it during the present
summer. 1t has never been cared for
properly and is constantly in a bad
condition., and the change will be
welcomed by the thousands of people
who use it annually.

ANY otp CLOTHES?


 Y DOUGLAS, March 26.-This is re fuxee garment week and the local chapter of the Red Cross wants all the old seryiceable garments that can be supplied. Every resident on the island is requested to make a search through their wardrobes and fee if there isn't some article of wearing apparel that will do to send tp the needy ones in Europe. All Fs;eadweii residents can leave such articles at the Treadwell Store in charge of Gabe Paul and the resi- depts of The Pines can notify or leave the garments with Mrs. Jack McCOrmick. The Douglas residents will notify any of the school chil- dte1 or leave the clothing at the Douglas school house. Juneau and other towns are now making big campaign on gathering up old, but ssrviceable garments and the Doug las-Treadweli chapter of the Red Ctoss also wants to make good showing. The present campaign should result in large shipment of clothing which will be sent to the hAlf clothed people in Europe.

 WASHINGTON Various depart ments of the Government from time to time have investigated the Alas kan coal fields, and on odd occas- ions serious efforts have been made to develop these resources The Bu- reau of Mines, the Alaskan Engin. eering Commission and the Forestry Service have all done their little bit in the way of Investigating and now the United States Navy is pre- parting to make some real develop ment
 The general appropriation bill which failed of passage at the last Congress carried an item of $1,000.- coo which was to have been expend- ed under the direction of the Navy Department in developing the Matan- uska and Boring river coal fields in order to obtain coal for naval yes sels operating on the Pacific
 Work Deferred For Year
 The bill will be brought up fof passage as soon as Congress re

convenes and the item doubtless will be allowed to remain. The failure of the bill to pass at the last Con gress simply deferred the work for year.
 The Navy, acting in conjunction with the Bureau of Mines, operated in both fields several years ago, taking out several hundred tons oi coal for testing purposes. The fuel from the Matanuska field was tried out in the battleship Maryland and was found far superior to that iron. the PCcah0ntas field of West Nir ginia. the naval coal used for steam ing purposes. The coal from the Eering river field proved unsatisfac- tory, but many who were in a posi- tion to know contend that the test was not a fair one--in that no care was taken in mining the coal from the Boring river field, and rocks and gravel were shoveled into the sacks with the coal, and that the material was allowed to lie on the beach for year where it was washed by the

 URGES FARM

Alaskan Farmers Need Aid to Help Them to Engage in Diversified Farming
 for Markets.

ANCHORAGE, March 20. Fifty as a Federal fund from which loans could be made to Alaska farmers to enable them to buy livestock, agfi- cultural implements and machinery, suggests Andrew Christensen, man ager of the Land and Industrial De- partment of the Alaskan Engineering Commission, in an official report to William C. Edes, chairman of the Commission. The yields of root crops greatly exceed in quantity the products !. cannot be shipped at a profit to distant places, so MT. Chris jensen urges that farmers be aided and encouraged to direct their eff forts to meat. butter, cheese, eggs, milk and dairy products.
 Twelve to fifteen years exper fence with agriculture in Alaska,
 he says, "has demonstrated that the Alaska soils will produce all kinds of root crops, such as potatoes, tur IlpS, CdIIOto, 1CitutCy tdD' bage, etc, and that there is now grave danger of over-production in this class of products. During the season of 1917 there was an over production of several hundred tons of potatoes and turnips in the Mat anuska Valley, considerable of which vert Q wa~te because of the lack or market. + is. therefore. of the utmost importance that diversified farming be immediately undertaken otherwise farmers will give up in despair and leave the Territory. Ii has also been demonstrated tha; oats, barley and rye, when properly cured, make excellent feed for stock These small grains can also be ma tured. The farmers in the Tanana Valley have matured wheat and il will not be long before sufficient wheat will be raised in the Interior to supply flour. However there can not be full development of the agri cultural resources of the Territory
The Alaska daily empire., 1919-03-26

until all branches of agriculture are thoroughly established.
 In order to encourage farming 1t will be necessary for the Govern ment to render aid in some way. If the stock and dairy industry can be encouraged it will have tendency to make Alaska self-supporting, a situation which is very much desired This will result in holding in the Territory twenty million dollars or more which is now paid by the peo- pie of Alaska to the producers and commission houses in the States, and in the cost of freight from the States to Alaska.

is a story within the story, for, Of course,
Mark Shore is found, to clash with his
brother for the command Of the ship, and
to tell the blood stirring tale Of his island
adventure with the pearls and villainous
white men and native women and drunken
greed and treachery and murder.
For excitement and horror Mark
Shores story is only matched by the final
mutiny and fight on the ship, which every
one will agree is the liveliest little scrap
that was ever fought between book covers.

so Is the carpenters adze.
Nor is the woman lacking. Before
Joel had sailed the ships owner had asked
him whether he would have use for the

who doubts the valor of her husband, but
at the last she underscores "Alp in the
line, "All the brothers were valiant"
The story is thriller with the plus
qualities that lift mere story telling into
something more enduring. The descrip-
lions are unhaekneyed, and the characters
have reality. The old whaler herself has
strong individuality, not a perfect
thirty-eight in figure, with her "great
shoulders that buffeted the sea-" and
her masts that stood up straight and
stiff as sore thumbs" but, "give her time,
and she would poke that blunt nose Of
hers right round the world, and come
back with net profit anywhere up to
$50, 900 in her sweating casks" The story
is short, but makes up for length in in
tensity and its concentrated drama.

"All the Brothers Were Valiant"

7 TOW did romance instead Of
l i tragedy ever come to be associated
inseparably with the seat 1t is after all
her sons are gone that the old woman
in the Synge play, Riders to the Sea, can
at last sleep o nights. If there were a
mother in Ben Ames Williams's story
All the Brothers We're Valiant she too
might be able to take well earned rest
when the full tale is finally told.
It is story Of four brothers who ride
to the sea in whaling vessels The story
begins with the Log of the House of
Shore, the entries in which have a tragic
sameness. Each entry, according to the
ancient form, begins with the state of the
wind and weather, since in the life of
seafaring folk these are of first i'm
portance, with bearing on the ultimate
catastrophe. The last entry made by the
father is typical of the succeeding entries
written in turn by the brothers:
"Wind began light, from the south.
This day came into harbor the bark
Winona, after cruise of three years two
months and four days. Capt. Chase re-
ported that my eldest son, Matthew
Shore, was killed by the fuke of right
whale, at Christmas Island. The whale
yielded seventy barrels of oil. Matthew
Shore was second mate"
And following each entry, like an
epitaph, is always the single line: "AlI
the brothers were valiant" 1t falls TO the
lot of the youngest brother, Joel Shore,
to record-after "wind northeast, light
that his older brother, Capt Mark Shore,
did not return with his ship at the end
of its three years cruise, having left the
ship at the Gilbert Islands, where it took
water. "They searched three weeks. They
encountered hostile islanders. No trace
of Mark Shore" And below is again re-
peated: "All the brothers were valiant"
There could not be q more dramatic
frame for story. Joel Shore succeeds
