Press.
In spite of ntne errors the B4icks
won - to 6, then Is hits to four

whole story. Tine sin errors the
Nchcnimm outfit made also sided
in their defeat.
Following is the score by innings:

Schcniman 000 POO 100 Is 6
According to the schedule as sup
piled the Press, the Lingo team is

Farming il, Alaska.
Seattle Times. )


 From the Matanuska Valley, Alaska comes word that the farmers planning their sum- mer's work and discussing problems to their lati- ude. Only a few years ago the people in the States had little if any knowledge of agricul- tural possibilities in the Northand, but thanks to widespread campaign of education it is now rather generally known that Alaska soil is capable of adding enormously to the wealth of the Territory.
 In the Matanuska and other interior valleys the shortness of the growing period is compen- sated for by the daily duration of sunlight. The days long and there is little radiation at night The farmer experiences the joy of noting his crops grow so rapidly that the change is lpreceptible from day to day.
 The Agricultural College and School of Mines lat Fairbanks had enrolment last year of more than 150 students. As the farming industry grows this school will render a service to agri- culture comparable with that given the people at Pullman. However the problems it will help tions in Matanuska different from those at Fairbanks and both different from those found at Kodiak Stka
 Agriculture will thrive in Alaska when in dustrial centers established to supply ready market for the products of the farms Federal agencies at work to find the particular species of grain and vegetables best adapted to climatic conditions. Already great progress has been made. and it is not too much to expect that with fin relatively short time agriculture will take Its place with mining and fishing as a source tof Alasga.s wealth.

SEE WARD DAY.

Today is Seward Day. the 61st anniversary of the exchange of the treaty which gave Alaska to the United States named in honor of the great Secretary of State in the Cabinets of President Abraham Lincoln and President Andrew Johnson. Ii is holiday in this Territory, appropriately made by enactment of the Territorial Legis lature
 The day is observed by honorng the memory of Seward, and he is deserving of all the honor that might be bestowed upon him. He far seeing statesman He was Governor of New York and twice elected United States Senator from that State. Before becoming Governor his record was principally negative. He was most prom inent anti-Jaeksonian As such he was a leading member of the Anti Masonic Party for four years He then became Whig, but Opposed the leadership of Henry Clay, though he sup ported Clay for the Presidency after he had got the Republican nomination in 1S44. He was an unqualified opponent of the institution of slavery and against all of the socalled Clay compromises. It not therefore, until after the death of Clay and Webster. when the Republican Party was born that he became real National lead CT. He was the leading spirit in the party and the chief contender against Gen. Fremont in 1856 and against Lincoln in 1860 for the Re publican Presidential nomination. Lincoln in 1861 named him Secretary of State After the death of Lincoln he stuck with President John- Soh NhO "ao iepuhidieh ny tHe ItpuDllcdl ledu- CTS and received his principal support from the Democrats, and opposed the reconstruction policy of Congress. It was while he President Johnsons Secretary of State that he negotiated the purchase of Alaska and performed what he declared the greatest public service of his life.
 It is due to President Johnson to say that he enthusiastically supported the proposal to pur- chase Alaska, and the record shows that several times he asked Seward for information as 10 the progress of the negotiations. In each instance he urged that they be prosecuted with all pos sible dispatch Not only that but President Johnson used his influence among the Democratic Senators to secure the votes necessary to ratfy the treaty of purchase. The Senate refused tc ratify treaties negotiated by Seward with tho support of the President for the purchase of the Danish West Indies, the control of Panama and the purchase of the Bay of Samana The West Indies and Panama control have since been accomplished.
 When the time that Aaskans shall begin to erect monuments for those who have performed large office in the history of Alaska among the first to be honored ought to De Sec retary Seward and President Johnson.
