 DISTRICTS

Rev. Tikhon l. Lavrischeff member of the Alaska Ecclesiastical Consis- tory in charge of the Ellamar par ish. gives the following Illuminating interview of impressions gained while on his visit here and to Interior re- gions. Reverend Lavrischeff, honor guest on Tuesday at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon, at which time he described his work in the Territory, departed yesterday for Ellamar, a passenger on the s. s. Yukon.
 "This was my first trip to this sec tion of Alaska. The last four years I have spent in coast region of the Prince William Sound. It is impos- sible, living on coast, to have the correct ideas about Alaska.
 Moving Nrthward, I was surprised to find more warmth and more of the sunshine. Indeed, the Interior of Al aska has very agreeable climate From the standpoint of health the climate along the Alaska Railrad is exceptionally favorable. The sweet breezes sweep over the snow-covered mountains, or virgin forests, and the air is pure and bracing.
 Some of the Russians, living ir California at present, expressed a de sire to know more about the farming possibilities in Alaska. Keeping ir mind the inquiries and questions oi my friends from sunny California tried to do my best in collecting the facts about the agricultural condition: here.
 T stopped at the Matanuska Fix. perimental station and there I found the agricultural capabilities of con. siderable range. Mean annual tenn perature is B x. Average annual pre- cfpitation is 1914 inches. Average annual snowfall 39-4O inches.
 "The growth of grasses is not st luxuriant as on the coast region, but here is the possibility to save tho grains after it has matured, as it I: very rare that the fall rains interfere with the saving of the crops.

DIFFERENT IN RUSSIA

"Matanuska Valley has the best soils for grain growing and for gen. eral farming. The soils of Alaska diff fer greatly from the fertile soils of Central Russia. There is no steppeI here such as characterize the Dniepr Don, or Volga basins Alaska is hilly country and only the gentler slopesI are aerable. Practically every foot of; soil has to be cleared before it can be put under cultivation. The principal ! timber is the spruce and the hillsides birch. Oh, how delighted I was to see the birch, this most admirable of trees of Russia, where hundreds of songs and poems are dedicated to the birch ' tree!
 'The soils represent material which evidently has undergone attrition by water or glacial action or both, mix 1 ed, especially in the surface portion, with varying quantities of volcanic matters. The clearing of the land re- quires much work though: the trees are prevailingly shallow rooted and soft, therefore easy to cut and uproot. SOIL RESPONDS QUICKLY

the pride of Brightwood crashing

However, Roy came back and
managed to more than hold his own
