CANDIDATES FILE
 FOR PRIMARIES
Five Republicans and One Democrat Signify Willingness to Serve
 Dear People

With four more days left during which filings of candidates for the primaries may Doe made. there ore but Eve in tho First Division who have sIgnidod their intentions to run for Che Territorial legislature
 For Che office of Delegate to Con- gross there has as yet been but one one name filed with the Territorial secretary. that Of Che present in- cumbent, Dan Sutherland.
 Those who have filed for Che legis- lature ore Frank A. Aldrich who was a member of the house in Che session of 1913 and elected to the senate In 1915. He is willing Co ace cept the latter position again.
 Rev. A. p. Kasheyaron, native Of Alaska and priest Of the Russian Or- thodox church. has also nled for tne senate. Both Alduch and Kaahe- varon have nled as Republicans.
 Republicans nling for Che position of representative are E. M. Policy, former resident Of Juneau and now commander of the Sltka American Legion Post. and IT. R. Shepard, old- time Juneau resident and well known Alaskan.
 On Che Democratic side but one dlng has been made. that Of Jack Mcdonald. pioneer Alaskan and well known.
 w. D. Grant of Wrangell forward ed the filing fee accompanied with am affidavit that he is a Republican, but did not state which onice he wished to enter the race for 10 is a case of "We don't know where We are going. but we're on the way"
 As filings can be made up to next Thursday evening. it is very prob- able that there will be enough rcp- sontatves of both parties Co hll all the positions by that time.
 Just what the Republicans win do in tho dclcgateship contest is not known. but it is known that many of them have no use for Dan Suther- land and that their support of him would be about as enthusiastic as that displayed by a sick man eating cold potatoes. And what Che Demo crats will do in the same contest Is yet on unknown quantity.

ALASKA FARMERS
 MOST PROSPEROUS
Fairbanks Paper Publishes Interest ing Facts Regarding Farm
 ing in Interior

Men who should know better go before Congressional committees and break into print to say that "Alaska win never amount to anything in an aericulural way" because of this and that whereas Che farmers in Alaska are probably Che most pros porous workmon in America. Every thIug they raise they can sell in this immediate vicinity. At that, they are m.sing larger crops every year. clearing and farming moro ground and progressing an along Che line. Tho.r Touring mill, Che only one in Alaska. is grinding every day and last year tho farmers in the little Panama Valley alone cultivated 1.- 59g acrcs Of land. cleared t4i new acros summor-fallowcd 10 acres and win cultivate 2.0O0 acres this year and are adding from 400 Co 500 acres to cultivation yearly. Last year they raised and sold at tho highest prices Che products were ever sold for in Che open market:
 Vegetables 500 tons from 100 acres.
 oat Hay-tO26 tons from 1.o3e acres.
 Grain - Oats and barley ey-1,270 bushels from 28 acres.
 Wheat 3.5l6 bushels from lS3 acres.
 Their wheat average wus 70 bush els per acre and their oats and barley 70 bushels per acre. For the pota- toes raised in this Valley Of Silent Men they received $4O.00O, and such prices for other farm produce that we hesitate to give them, as farmers Outside have never received them and would not hlieve that they could exist anywhere.
 Alaskans owe it mostly to them selves that Outsiders are in such ig- uorance of Alaska. for We have con- lr.butod to it. When we all first came hero we came to a Freaklaid. and we sent freak pictures back pictures Of fec and snow and polar bears. and few of us ever saw a polar bear except in Bronx Zoo. At 90 degrees above zero we would put on fur coats and caps and Doc photo eraphcd to send pictures Outs ide. Because lt takes SO long Co get an answer to a letter sent Outside we seldom write home--somo of us never. We can't blame The Ofd Folks at Home if they consider Alaska an inaccessible and undesirable section of Gods earth. Whats the use in our now trying Co tell The Folks Back Home that we never saw a more beautiful winter night than chat of last night -at midnight Che wiudlcss srccts blaze Of moonlit beauty which could be witnessed mo- where else where the snow ever falls. Che weather SO mild that one walked home with coat unbuttoned, and walked slowly Co enjoy the "Grcat White Way" and mediate and thank Che good Lord that he has given Go us the chance Co live for ever iu Alaska for how could they understand? - Fairbanks Now s- Miner.
