The Persistent
American Farmer

The American farmer is the most
persistent fellow in the world as well
as indefatigable. We know what
he has done to agriculture in this
country. Now he is proceeding to
put himself over in Alaska-Alas-
ka, where farming was supposed
next to impossible except in very
small and weak way.
Already the Matanuska and Tan
ana districts are furnishing practi-
cally all the vegetables required for
local consumption. Forage for horse
and cattle is being grown and even
wheat, the maturing of which was at
one time thought impossible, is
through the efforts Of the agricul-
tural stations now a regular crop.
Fairbanks has the first flour mill
to be built in the territory, and it is
expected that it will be only few
years before that district will be
supplying the whole of the interior
and the towns along the line Of the
government railroad with flour.
The average yield of wheat at
Fairbanks is 1876 bushels to the
acre. The farmers there are COM
mencing to organize for the purpose
Of cooperation in buying machinery
and equipment. The livestock indus
try has hardly progressed beyond
the demands for dairy products, but
eventually beef cattle will be grown
in many parts of the territory.

Drawing Contest
A Big Success

The drawing contest at the Tabb
Theatre Christmas night proved
quite a success and the largest
crowd ever in attendance at this
popular playhouse was present and
the street was lined with persons
eager to gain admission for almost
a block. The winners were as fol-
lows: One years free ticket-Earl
Sexton; six months free ticket
Miss Rose Scott, of Sharpsburg;
three months free ticket-Mrs.
Frank Boyd.
The Tabb has an unusual pro-
gra mfor the remainder of the week

B. Small, the popularity Of the Tabb
continues to grow and due to his
tireless work this theatre is enjoy
ing the largest patronage in its his
tory.

periors. To her family she was the
real mother, a mother that shared in
Joys and sympathized in sorrows.
She knew how and did extend the
helping hand, and though her life
was not for show, the world has
been made the better by her living

son Of the late James e. Thompson,
and Mrs. Mamie Thompson, who
was with him, died on Friday even
ing at Tucson Arizona, where he
had gone with his mother and three

His character was, as we know him,
spotless and his heart was the kind
that beats in sympathy and love for
all mankind. We knew him in the
Sunday school and we believe he
had that faith that saves the soul.
His was a short life, but here and
there are footprints, guide to those
who would live for others and at
tain to that future where bliss and
Joys are vouchsafed to those of the
faith. We are grieved on account
of his death and sympathize with
those in sorrow.

yesterday after her condition han
continued to grow worse for the
past several days, death being caus-
ed by septic poisoning. Mrs. Rat

neighbor she was known to the
writer, and as such we are here to
say, a kinder or more thoughtful
woman never breathed, and with her

friends-we mourn.

dawn of mature womanhood, just at
the time when, as it seemed, she
had much to live for, that the Mas

truly "asleep in Jesus" May the
same infinite hand touch the heart
of her loved ones and bring them
surcease from their sorrow.

of the local Christian church and
her church life, as was her home life,
was one worthy of emulation, and

noblest young mothers, Heaven viii

His hand on the two dear little chill

or she must remember that we have the
snow In super-sbundance and don't al
ways have the traius-that 10 not on time
and both conditions are what consti-
tute news. Friday gave full measure OF
this kind of news. The trains were OF
schedule, but that has been the rule
rather than the exception, and In addi-
ton to this, two trains upon which South
Paris depends got stalled In snow drifts,
which formed all day long In the high
wind. The frat train to enter the cold
embrace OF gigantic snow drift was one
on the Lewiston Branch with q car load
of South Paris and Norway passengers.
This train was unable to connect with
the afternoon train from Portland on the
main line and the latter In turn stuck
fast in drift near the gravel pit about
two miles above this station. A relief
train, which had gone to the assistance
of the Lewiston train, was hastily sum-
moned, and arrived at South Paris about
ak o'clock with snow pillow and twenty
Eve shovelers. They went to the assist
auce of the stalled train, shoveled 1t oui
and pulled IL back to this station In two
sections, the laDt one arriving about II
O'Clock. In the mean time, the Lewiston
train had arrived ct Lewiston junction,
and then proceeded to South Paris to
discharge passengers which should hsvs
been transferred ct Lewiston Junction
On Its way back 1t took on oil passenger
