In order to encourage the raising of vegetables along the railroad belt and to spend as much of the annual appropriat- ions in Alaska as possible, the Alaska Railroad is inaugural ing a plan to can peas and other commodities now pur- chased through Seattle whole sale houses, says the Valdez Miner. To give the matter a thorough test the management has engaged a man with a team to break a large plot of ground near the the general office building in which peas will be planted. During the past year the railroad used 300 cases of peas. Along the lines of MT. Smiths program of opening up the Territory to the fullest extent, and desir- ing to keep as much money in Alaska as is possible out of railroad appropriations, MT. Smith fostered the plan of canning peas as an experiment believing that the railroad can put up it's own peas at a cost not to exceed the landed cost of outside peas.

A bottle of crude oil and a sack of samples of oil shale from the oil district near Nc. Carthy was brot into Mccarthy recently by William Henry, and provides proof of oil in that district. The oil was talk en to Kenecott to be analysed. The shale samples are appar- ently very rich in oil, for by breaking small pieces in the finger free oil is disclosed which may be burned with match, the odor given off be- ing strongly tar-like. Men ac- quainted with the section state that shale of the same gene ral appearance as these sam ples may be found on Dan and Young Creeks and over an area of many miles on the Nizina River. Henry obtained the oil and shale samples from land adjoining his homestead, approximately nine miles from Mccarthy.

The present outlook for the herring industry is not bright, and the coming seasons pack may not not be as large as that of last season, according to Lee H. Wakefield, one of the largest Alaskan operators in the industry. Last seasons pack was the largest in the history of the Territory and there is still a good sized carry over on hand which will have to move very rapidly if it is to be cleaned up before the new pack reaches the market, he said. Wholesale prices are not very satisfactory, the top price for choice fish being SIS per barrel. The same fish at retail brings around $70 a barrel.
