MCCARTHY, June 25.-One of the beauty spots of the Copper river valley, which is not as we'll known as it should be, even by the residents of Mccarthy, is Long lake, situated about fourteen miles down the rail- road, an ideal place to spend vacation
 The lake itself, which is two miles it's widest point, is nestled down among wooded hills, with back ground of white capped mountains, all of which are reflected in the waters. Trout are plentiful, worthy of the efficient angler, who can be sure of good string.
 The roadhouse which is located quite close to the railroad, is we'll arranged for the comfort of visitors, the host, Ed Mullen, is one of Alas ka's old timers. and makes every one very much at home. For the pleas ure of guests, he has fine boat equipped with Coban motor, so that boat riding is joy.
 Another fine fishing spot is a stream which has it's. source in the lake. and winds for several miles through the woods
 The Lacaina river flows from the hills southward and joins the Chitina river few miles below
 Several fine farms are south of the lake, the best being that of Os- car Anderson, who has twenty acres now in crop, principally barley, po- tatoes and turnips. The average yield per acre of hay is two tons.
 Anderson has wisely provided mod ern farm machinery, which is of the greatest help. He will have fifty acres cleared by next fall
 Ed Mullen has five acres under cul- tivation, chiefly winter wheat, turn 1ps and potaoes. Rhubarb is grow ing in profusion on both these ranches. Al Fagerberg and Fred Overlander have also located home steads and are clearing and planting.
 In response to several inquiries as to the scale of wages which is paid by the Alaska road commission we have communicated with the officials at Chitina and will publish their re- ply next week.
