power of gold. The entire farming section about Fairbanks consists of but few small patches. One place we visited is called the "Rickert Gar dens." It is the show place of this community. It consists of 85 acres under cultivation, 12 acres of which are devoted to truck farming The rest is in oats, wheat and vetch. Prac- tically all the land in this valley, 750 miles long, is open for entry and can be had for the asking. MT. Rickert, who owns and operates the show gar dens is of the opinion that there is a profitable business here for 500 more practical farmers. All vegetation here grows prolifically during the three or four months of summer. It is day. light practically all the time, and the weather is warm and balmy. Vege- tatiOn therefore grows practically 24 hours each day. We saw fine looking cabbage, potatoes, carrots, turnips, beets, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, head and leaf lettuce, rhubarb, straw berries, and raspberries growing in the open. Altho the planting season is later, the vegetables mentioned are practically matured and have progress ed as far as the same vegetables in Lodi at this time of year.
 There is keen competition here with vegetables from the States which are shipped in from Seattle at a less price than they are proftably grown here The only market is local. Many of the more delicate vegetables are rais- ed here in hot houses. We saw toma- toes, cucumbers, peppers, egg plant and sweet corn growing to enormous size in these glass houses.
 Fairbanks is only little more than 100 miles south of the arctic circle, still it is land of beauty and sunshine during the summer, contrary to the general belief that it is a land of per- petual snow and ice It is extremely cold here in winter, ranging between 90 to 50 degrees below zero most of the time.
 Last night just at sundown, about 10 o'clock every sled dog in the village commenced yelping and kept it up un- til the sun had disappeared from view. It is too late in the season for us to witness the midnight sun" which is visible here best on June 21 and 22, the longest days of the year, There is about an hour of semi-darkness from midnight until o'clock and it is real light at 2 o'clock in the morning.

15 miles. There we started out in automobiles to make the 317-mile trip to Fairbanks Our machine was a Studebaker Six.
 Travel 100 Miles Day.
 The trip to Fairbanks was made by easy drives of about 100 miles per day, travelling at an average speed of about 15 miles per hour. We passed numerous crews working upon the roads, graveling and smoothing down the rough places, although at the present rate of construction it will take number of years to place it in first-class condition. Telephone and civil service telegraph lines traverse the highway, and reservations for meals and night accommodations were made by telephone along the way. We found the roadhouse accommodations very good. It is quite remarkable what nice tables these people are en- abled to set in that seemingly isolated section. At most of the places we had fresh beef and vegetables that had been shipped ill cold storage from Seattle. Many of the vegetables came from California. At one place we had caribou meat, which tastes a great deal like venison. Although it is out of season for this kind of game, the authorities allow this road house to serve it on account of being too far away from civilization to get other fresh meat
 Enjoyed the Scenery.
 We had beautiful weather the first day out and enjoyed the scenery of interior Alaska. We all decided that the only way to really "do Alaska" is by taking this inland trip. Mt Black burn, Wrangell, Drum and Sanford, each about the height of Mt Shasta, were passed during the first day After leaving the Copper river we travelled up the Gulkana river to the summit, then our course was down the Delta river to the Tanana river where We ferried across the stream in barge that utilizes the force of the stream as means of motive power.
 Other Lodians Passed Thru
 We had lunch the first day at Ken ney Lake, and noted by the register that MT. and Mrs. Geo. E. Lawrence and R. E. Ryan of Lodi had spent the night there on July 9th, and at the Rapids on July 8.
 We spent the first night at Sour Dough, where I had my first fishing. came in shortly after 10 o'clock that night with dozen grayling, averaging from foot to A inches in length. This species of fish, which abounds the streams in this section, is very similar to the mountain trout at Lodi. They will take nothing but flies, and strike and put up fight exactly like trout. They have scales like bass, but taste like troute, only that they are little sweeter.

Through Rolling Country.

The. country is rolling and flat great deal of the way between here and Chitina. Outside of the high snow capped mountains, few dead glaciers and numerous lakes and glacier streams, there is little scenery of note Most of the land is covered with scrub spruce, cottonwood and birch We passed miles of dead timber, where fire couple of. years ago had killed out practically all the vegetation Many of the trees in other places had been killed by rabbits. which have eaten off the bark down to about two feet of the ground. This bark is their only food during winter when the ground is covered with snow. The entire surface of the ground for hun dreds of miles around is covered with green and caribou moss. The latter affords food for the caribou and moose during the winter. The ground thaws out only within one to two feet from the surface in summer, below that it is frozen to depth of 50 to 60 feet. All along the road were beautiful pink wild flowers.
 The only white children we saw were four little orphans, aged from 6 to 13, who had lived in that isolated section all their lives. They seemed happy and contented, telling us that their chief amusement during winter was with their dog team.
 Very Little Game.
 Caribou and moose horns were strewn along the way, but we encoun- tered no wild game with the exception of red fox which came out to greet us on one of the grades, and through curiosity trotted up to within ten feet of our machine.
 Fairbanks DwindIed Some.
 We are surprised at the thrifty ap- eparance of Fairbanks. During the gold rush of 1904-10, this was city of 10000, but now it has dwindled down to 1900 inhabitants. The principal reason is the playing out of the placer claims, the high cost of the produc- tion of gold and the low purchasing
