vuco Perovich, who staked his life in
q fight for freedom after serving 16
years in prison for a murder in Alaska
may end his case on the gallows.
Attorney General Sargent an
nounced today that he would discuss
with the United States attorney for
Kansas the advisabiIity Of sending
Peroyich back to Alaska to face the
death sentence imposed upon him in
1905.
Perovich recently was released from
the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
worth on a writ Of habeas corpus

Pollock in Kansas City, Kan.
Judge Pollock upheld Perovich's
contention that President Taft had no
authority to commute the death SEN

Perovich. The court. however. held
in allegiance imposition Of the original
sentence.
Perovich asserted that the charge

Mrs. K. Westfall, of New York, one of the leading missionaries of the Baptist Missions was visitor in Seward last summer, en route to Wood Island near Kodiak, where it was stated, under her authority, a new orphanage would be construct ed, probably next spring. The for mer orphanage burned down last winter.
 The orphanage, which was started many years ago and maintained by the Sunday Schools of the New Eng land states, takes care of approxi- mately fifty children. Their educa- tion is closely followed along prac- tical lines fitting the youngsters for various work in the Territory which they are particularly adapted to. On the homesite at Wood Island there are six buildings, it is stated.

FOREST FIRELOSS CHUGACH FOREST
 AMOUNTS $2,OOO
Fire Swept Regions of Large Extent Show Relative
 lv Small Cash Loss

The report of the fires in the Chugach National Forest, particular ly those in the Anchorage and Sew ard districts, the figures show that over 3,735 acres of timber lands were burned over by forest fires the past summer.
 Eight hundred thousands feet of timber was destroyed with valua- tion of about s2,0O0. The Hope fire, which was the largest one, began on July II and burned until August 15. The largest crew of men at any time during the fire was 60 men employ ed in fighting the blaze. All the fires were thought to have been caused by the negligence of trappers or travellers leaving cigarettes or camp fires burning, in the moss.
 The season in the Hope district at the time of the fire was very dry and high wind ragged continually aiding the fires. Altogether there were 35 fires in the Chugach forest this summer and the total cost of fighting them amounted to about $8,O0O.
 The total damage done by the fires in other parts of the forest has not yet been computed. The expendi- ture in fire suppression this year has been greater than any year since the departments establishment. The reason for the unusual difficulty in fire fighting last summer was the fact that the fires were in isolated districts, and much trouble was had in getting fighters to the scene of the blaze in time.

reduction in prices of farm produce thereby lowering the cost of living and making possible the working of much low grade placed ground now impos- sibIe to work. I can conceive of no other way of lowering the cost of liv- ing to that end.
 The agricultural possibilities of Al aska were stressed and played an i'm portant part toward getting the appro- priation necessary for the building of the railroad. The agricultural possi- bilities of Alaska have been tested more and more each year since that day and all reasonable predictions of ten years ago have come true, except the influx of farmers. Economic con- ditions in the states have been such that farming has not paid there, and is less inviting today than in many years past. High priced land lays a heavy hand upon the farmer. Taxes and interest on investment have been too heavy for many, and they are look ing in vain for another frontier open to them. Alaska is closed so to speak by misunderstanding upon the part of the farmers of the states, by lack of appreciation of facts by many peo- pie living here, by the uncOncerned attitude of the transportation compan- ies serving Alaska and the lack of working capital for the farmers in AL aska today.
 The Alaska farmer living along the railroad enjoys low freight rate up- on agricultural machinery, if it be new, and there his encouragement is ended. He must have livestock, and fencing, and much material that goes into permanent construction, that must come from the States. He needs lower freight rates for these things, and he needs emigrant rates for him. self and family. He needs intelli- gent encouragement in every way pos sible for the first few years. He needs the assurance that he will have your support in way of market for his pro- duce, the support of the bankers of the territory to help finance his farming operations and the loyal support of every merchant in the territory Give the farmer this encouragement and make the invitation whole hearted and in good faith, and this country will be settled with hardy farming class that will make it possible to retain part of Alaska's wealth now flowing to the States.
 Repeated experiments with varieties of oats, barley, rye, wheat, vetches, peas, and the various root crops prov ed beyond a doubt that this country can produce it's own foodstuffs and all animal products now shipped from the states.

The total value of the mineral output of the territory since 1880 is s535,O84,276. These figures are bstracted from the annual report on the mining industry of Alaska, now in preparation under the direction of Philip s.

permit. In many instances, that capi ledge of what to do and a willingness to do. They have cleared the timber from the land, used such portion of it needed for the construction of log house, barn, sheds, and root cellar, and built the necessary fences to protect their crops from livestock running at large and their gardens from the rav- ages of the thousands of rabbits that infest the country. They have put their cleared land under cultivation and grown such crops as their needs call ed for, and many have made their liv- ing entirely from the soil. Those who were fortunate enough to enjoy a fair market for their produce, have been able to improve their farms year to year, and today have farms quite comparable to those of western Wash ington and Oregon. Where roads have been built and made possible for the introduction of modern farm mach inery to used on the farm, it will be found in use Up-to-date methods em- ployed on Alaska farms are not unusu- al and have proven that farming in Al aska is here to stay. People familiar with early pioneer conditions of the west readily recognize the need of markets to stimulate agricultural de- velopment. People of Alaska have overlooked the fact that Alaska mar kets look good to the farmers of Wash ington, Oregon and the western states, who produce the beef pork, mutton, butter, milk, eggs, bread stuff, pota- toes and large quantities of vegetables annually shipped from the States. h. variably, the question is asked, when one speaks of farming in Alaska, Where are you going to get your mar ket?" Those who are shipping these very same articles from the states ask that question: The housewife, the store clerk, the office man, the law yer, the teacher, and the army of gov ernment employees, who order from the store, want the stuff from OUT SIDE, presumably because of the friendly feeling for the outside, where many of them plan to return as quick ly as they make their fortune in Alas ka. This same question comes from some of our territorial officers, who draw their salaries from the territory they serve so Loyalty, but fail to recog- nize the possibilities of producing our food stuffs, and the markets now here for that food stuffs.
 We Alaskans, and would be Alas kans, are perfectly content to have our money go to Seattle at the tune of S5,000,000 and better annually for the things we eat, and then look to the government for more and larger ap- populations for roads, railroads, trails schools, and the many things now un- dertaken by the government in order to keep our house going, while there are many thousands of acres of fertile, tillable land awaiting the coming of the farmer, and the several hundred homesteaders already here ready to supply our needs for farm products. Mercantile business is overdone in all the towns of Alaska. We have too many people ready and anxious to serve us over the counter at fair profit to themselves. Alaska needs producers of foodstuffs more than any other class today and when production at home equals consumption, the far mer will be in position to stand a

Gold-fne ounces
 In spite of the gradual exhaustion of the richer gold placer deposits, the gold output in 1924 was larger than in 1923. The increase was due mainly to activity in the lode mines in southeastern Alaska The benefits to the gold-mining industry of inter- for Alaska that are certain to result from the completion of The Alaska Railroad are rather slow to appear in the production of gold, for the work of testing larger areas of placer ground and the engineering work needed to complete ditches and install dredges or other power-driven mining machinery require considerable time. The developments now in progress and increased prospecting for metal bearing ledges will eventually lead to an increase in production. The de- crease in the total value of the min- eral output of Alaska in 1924 from that of 1923 may be attributed almost entirely to the smaller production and the lower price of copper.
