I'VE are very glad your country has
had so much rain this season, but up
here we have had the driest summer
on record. but last night we had a
good rain.
"The president and party passed
here on July IA at $3.50 in the after
noon, and as the train stopped here he
was the first to alight We were out
and all lined up to see him, and he
came over and extended his hand to
me and | introduced nj INTO the 9TH
ers He asked il he could see our foxes
and We assured him that they could.
He and John led the way and all the
rest fell in behind with as little for
mality as country picnic. He was
very much taken up with our pen, that
had besides the old ones five young.
| He poked a stick through the wire and
tne young ones grabbed 1t and pulled
like dog pups would have done. Com
| ing back to the house and train Mrs.
Harding saw my wife's pansy bed in
L
Wife said let me pick you some. Mrs.
Harding said mo- but / would love to
have my picture taken behind them.
AS there were 16 reporters with ko-
daks along they insisted that Mrs.
Harding get behind the flowers. Mrs.
Harding. Mrs. Hoover and two other
ladies got all fixed when Secretary
Work said, hold on boys and taking
!my wife by the arm said you belong
in that group, and marched her
around and put her in the center and
said All set, boys, shoot, and so the
picture was taken. In all they were
here 25 minutes. They had lovely
weather with no smoke and beau
tiful sky for the whole trip and not
one unpleasant thing came upon the
whole trip.
About cows They are worth in the
Ispring from $3.50 to $500 and chickens
are generally worth from SIS to $36
a dozen. Eggs bring from $1.50 in the
summer to $500 in the winter dozen.
Horses are worth about the same as
with you with from $50 to SIS added
for freight. Lots Of people up here pre-
fer goats to cows mostly on account
of SO much brush for feed the year
around. We are going to get team
, and some goats or COW before spring
, cuse for cutting hay.

know we cannot grow all you can
t but some things We can grow better
r The whole of Alaska will some day
( | be farmed where there is soil enough
IL am of the opinion, as farming
l country to be in the future, that the
/ sKranai peninsular is the best l know
of, with a far milder climate than
2 Montana, but not so good for growing
0 fur as here. 1t seldom gets to zero
e down there and the soil is, If anything
e better, but there is no work dowr
e there that a fellow can make a dollar
4 at outside of farming. There Will b'
a 7 land left to take up in Alaska l0'
O years from now. 1t is as large as one
d third of the United States. You know
O about how many farms that woult
e make.
v 1T is all rot about this country be
d ing so cold. This place had the nam
r of being the coolest spot this side o
d the Yukon, but l told the knocker
l. that was what / was looking for, th
coolest place on earth, for without
h doubt | would find it hot enough Il
ID the next world to come. Well the
n said it always got about " degree
1t below zero here, but for three year
i'd our coolest has been 40. 3S aud 80 be
d. low, and these spells were for only
Id day or two in the year. 1 can say W
have quite number of days of frol
n 10 to 20 below weather.
