 ALASKA FARMS
 TOBE PRINTED

| One of the best known farm journ- | nals in the west is going to print from six to twelve articles on farm ing in Alaska. The request, unsolicit- ed, was received by E. J. White, of the Alaska bureau of publicity, from J. c. Knollin, editor of Orchard and Farm, a monthly published at Los Angeles, Cal. The requests for the articles limit each to about 2,000 words, or in short Alaska will re. ceive from 12,000 to 24,000 words in a great western farm magazine, which was established in 1888 and which has one of the largest circula- tions of any similar journals west of the Mississippi river. Mir White immediately acknowledged receipt of the request for the articles and will prepare them so that the first can appear in the first monthly issue.
 In making the request for the ar ticles on agriculture, MT. Knollin says: q am going to take a step apparently never before considered by any Pacific Coast farm journal I do not know when anything has in terested me as much as the agricul tural items in the Bi-Monthly Bulle- tins with which you have so kindly furnished me-
 q state frankly that was amazed to learn of the agricultural resources of Alaska and one of my ambitions is to visit Alaska at the earliest pos sible opportunity.
 Nevertheless I believe the time has come when Alaska should be con- sidered a part of this great agri- tultural empire known as the Pacific west.
 T now ask that you please fur nish me with six or twelve articles not more than 2,000 words each, con corning agriculture in Alaska, it's past accomplishments, present conditions and possibilities. I am convinced that such articles, If they did no more than enlarge upon the startling facts set forth in your bulletin would arouse the greatest interest and com ment"

 In his letter to Gov. Riggs, Gen. Harris quotes from a proclamation issued by former Gov. James M. Cox, of Ohio, relative to the victory medal, as follows:
 This little bronze badge will in time be enshrined in the heart of every patriotic American as the out ward and visible sign of true citi- zenship. It will designate the pos sessor as soldier of the greatest republic of all times and a defender of democracy. The spirit of patriot ism and the pride of service to ones country will lend in time senti- mental value to the possession of this medal.

YUKON PIONEER FOUND
 DEAD IN HIS CABIN

Thomas Rossborough, pioneer pros pector and miner of the Yukon dis trict, was recently found dead in his cabin at Dawson, according to ad- vices received here. The mounted police authorities were notified and from all appearances death was due to heart failure. The deceased was born in Scotland about 75 years ago. For the past 20 years or more he has been in the Yukon region. For a number of years he worked good diggings on Glacier. Bossborough was an active member of the Yukon Order of Pioneers.

quite a job. McGraw's men won
