No solution to Problem

And so on progress has been made toward the solution of Alaska's transportation problem, either thru federal or territorial agencies.
 The thought of bigh-knojred. di- rect-goIug steamships plying be- tween westward Alaskan ports and Seattle and San FraDcisco--a Twen- tieth Century line is possible of ultimate realization, but mauitestly cannot be realized until tonnage has been created by the development of the territory.

Action vs Discussion

Alaska's needs loug ago became a threadbare subject of discussion.
 AssuredIy the time has now come to substitute action for discussion, to turn word into deeds and to stop theorizing and recommending and ger to work. The concentration Of authority and responsibility in one department at Washington, with a centralization of administrative pow CTS in Alaska, will be a direct and decisive step toward the solution of Aiaskas problems.

Natives not Dying Out

Apparently the popular theory that the Natives. Indians and Eskimos, are fast dying of, is not sustained by fact. Improved methods of liv- ing seem to be making for harder races of Natives. That the reindeer industry. which has assumed an i'm portant magnitude, has contributed to the bodily. as we'll as material welfare of the Eskimos, is readily Co be believed.

Agriculture Progressing

Agriculture is making marked progress in Alaska, in spite of ad- verse general conditions. Homestead CTS in the interior, in the Panama, Matanuska and Susitna valleys, are demonstrating the farming resourc- es and possibilities of this rich coun- try. Larger and more accessible markets will assuredly mean many thousand acres of rich soil under successful cultivation.

Hope

The most promising sign of the times today for Alaska is the awak- eped interest in Washington in the opening of this rich domain and the expressed determination in both the executive and legislative depart ments of the government to coor- dinate and simplify the methods and system of administration and meet the manifest needs of the territory. Surely it was never intended that the rich natural resources of Alaska should be unused. Nature never intended it so. The gold and silver and other precious metals, and coal and oil. clearly are intended for the use and benefit of mankind So, too the countless acres of untitled soil. The fact that more than half cen tury has elapsed since the purchase of the territory with SD little done toward developing it and making its resources available for the public good is past understanding tu those who know and comprehend Alaska's richness.

BOARDMAN FARMERS CUT
THIRD CROP Of ALFALFA
Cast Oregonian Specially

BOARDMAN, Ore, Sept 16.-The
third cutting of alfalfa is under way
and baling under the association con-
tract at $2.35 per ton has begun. A
carload of the finest is going to Pen
dletOn today for use in construction
of the Hay Palace for the Hay and
Grain Show. Another shipment is en-
route to New Jersey for feeding trial
and inquiries are coming from New
York in similar vein. That section has
in the past used largely of California
hay, but the equalization of rates
through the Panama Canal makes It
possible for Oregon to compete. The
growers of this section are confident
that in feeding tests Oregon hay will
outrank California hay owing to the
fact that the crop is not forced, there
being fewer cuttings and consequently
greater maturity Of product. About
1000 tons have been ordered from the
Boardman district at price that will
net s12 to s14 according to grade.

again changed hands, the new owner
being A. B. Chaffee who recently NOV

NEW YORK, Sept 16.-Q. n. s.
The Rockefeller Foundation spent
over $7,000,000 on public health meas

Wheat underwent new declines in pri-

Argentine rains and fresh breaks in
foreign exchange. The market closed

q ga to 1c, and oats 1-2@5-Sc to 7-Sc.
Provisions finished unchanged to l5c

Bulls failed to make much headway
with reports of freezing temperatures
in Canada and with advices that un-
seasonable wet weather in the Dakotas
was spelling wheat in the shock. Raj
lies proved transient and the market

Corn and oats descended with

buying of both corn and oats.
Provisions were weighed down by
eastern selling of lard, presumably to
