Wonderland of Wealth Is

Washington, March 10. --Whe.l
Secretary Seward paid the Russian
government $7,2O0,O0O for Alaska Sc
years ago, he did not dream that there
would ever be college within 100
miles of the Arctic Circle, or that it
would be wonderful land of wealth.
When President Harding goes up
there this summer he will land about
strawberry time and such strawber-
ries as Marion never saw to hear the
natives brag., The president will see

able to take little auto trip right up
to the nose of a glacier.
The head Of the college near Fair
banks is Charles E. Bunnell, former
federal judge, and the campus is on
a tract Of land four miles f. ON FAIR
banks, on the main line Of the new
railroad. The college was, formally
established in 1917. There was un-
der cultivation in the immediate vi
entity Of Fairbanks last year, accord
ing to Prof. Bunnell, Il total Of 1920
acres. This land produced 100 tons
of vegetables, 1,OO6 tons Of oats, hay,
1870 bushels of oats and barley, s.
SIG bushels of wheat and 1892 tons of
potatoes. The wheat represents the
yield Of 1873 acres.
As a result Of "redtape," Alaska
lost 23.4 per cent in population in ten
years when it should be growing by
leaps and bounds. On this, Col. W.
B. Greeley Of the Forest Service has
this to say:

Just what is involved is pointed out
by the American Forestry Associa-

"There are 2O,OO0,OOO acres and

Alaska. This is equivalent to nearly
six per cent Of all the timber in the
Continental United States. Wisely
handled, a paper industry can be de-

the paper industries of Scandinavia
and capable Of supplying a third Of
the present paper consumption OF the
United States.
During the administration Of th-

for Bagley where it will take on the
Bagley high school squad this evening.
Those representing the college arc

prove interesting, although Bemidji
is easily the favorite. However, Bag
ley has the advantage Of playing on
it's own small floor. Bemldji is not
used. to such floor, but this is not
expected to prove much Of hardship.
Bagley has only few high school
victories this season but nevertheless;
the team is putting up a fair game of
basketball and will probably do so
tonight.

Lloyd George has resigned was issued
today from Ten Downing street the
premier's official residence. On high

"Lloyd George has resigned. He
has not done so in official form, but
Mr.. Chamberlain has the resignation
in his pocket. The premier has ev-
pressed the desire that the Irish bill
should be passed into law before th.,
country is acquainted with his deci-
sion."
The paper said Lloyd George Will
not wait for Genoa "for his expecta--
tons have bcen torpedoed by the joint

TWO,EAST BASKETBALL
>'s' GAMES ASSURED FANS
Bagley Legion to Play Naval
: Militia Saturday Night;
"is Fast Preliminary

Two interesting games of basket
ball are assured those who attend :hc
games at the new. armory Saturday
evening. The Bagley American Lee
gion team, which defeated the Naval
Militia squad on the Bagley floor ~ q
score of 20 to 10 two weeks ago, VA!
play a return game on the Bemidli
floor. As a preliminary, which p, Or
ises to be the best preliminary seen
here this season, the second team OF
the high school will play thu secon"
team Of the Naval Militia. The mi
game will be called at 1880 and tie
main event will follow.

game has not been announced but
the following players are available
,Simons, Riggs and Neumann, for
wards; Stapleton, Doran, BoN;e and
Reed, guards; Phibbs and Rudy, CEN
ter. On their own floor, the boys alc
sure to put up a much better game
than they did at Bagley and both
teams will have much better oppo.'-
|tunity to display their team worH, than
on the small Bagley floor.
Bagley will come here with as
strongest lineup, primcd for another
victory over the Bemidji squad. The
visiting team is composed of former

much stronger organization than one
would at first believe.
For the second team game, Peter
son, Frost, Minnick, Batchelder, Wi!'
son, A. Peterson, Hulett and Kicker
son are available for the Naval MIL
tia squad. The high schools second

the Bcmidji teachers by only one
point.
These games will be the last Of
the navy's schedule this season ana

BOYS, CORN CAMP

1t is quite probable that Roosevelt

Camp for all members of the bows

latetr part of June this year.
Superintendent Kitch of the Indi-
an Department and Professor Glass
cock, in charge of the boarding
school at Poplar have offered the
use of the dining room and such
other equipment of the boarding
school as will be necessary in CON
Quoting such campaign. It is ex-
pected that q four days camp can be
put on for a charge of about So a
boy which will be the actual cost of
boarding for said boy while in camp.
The Extension Department at Boze-
man will furnish moving picture
reels and the extension specialists on
conr, poultry and such other spec
as are of interest to bows on
the farm. Four days will be devot-
ed to profitable instruction and rec
reation if present plans materialize.

It is certainly time Montana

as a responsibility Of the state. When

nanclally weak sections of the state
are, these localities should have
special assistance, at the same time

Until the State of Montana as

This is a problem for our Tax
