ALASKA, FOUNTAIN YOUTH

On the average Outside when a man reaches the age of 50 he IS old; everybody knows it. he looks it, feels it and is about all in. insofar as work is concerned. But not so in Alaska!
 When they reach that age the average Alaska oldtimer-God bless 'em-have just about got through sowing their so-called wild oats and begin to work in real earnest. You see 'em every day around the 80 mark cutting trails. working on a road crew longshoring, in fact doing work which would kill man in the states of the same age.
 No fooling!
 Never a complaint but taking life as they find it, passing out a few gems of philosophy along the way, courageous and square Gee. what a wonderful bunch ot fellows they are.
 Keats may have been right waen he wrote;

THE DROUGHT

The Northwest is experiencing the worst
drought perhaps in its history
The condition, however, does not seem to be
confned to Montana, or to northwestern
North Dakota. In fact the condition seems to be
universal While there has been more rainfall at
other places than here yet the precipitation in the
last two months has been scant throughout the
northern hemisphere. For instance in the area in
Canada north of Lake Superior where there is
usually plethora of rain, the country is suffer
ing from the worst drought in the memory of
man. Northern Minnesota, the land of bitches, is
dried up, though of course there has been more
rainfall there than here. In the Red River Valley
the grain fields of America, and whose chief
worry is too much water the ground is baked
great cracks appearing in the ground, inches wide
and several feet deep. 1t is the driest season on
record. Press dispatches from Europe tell us of
drought therein England the rivers and creeks
are dried up and the water supply of the cities
usually ample, is threatened.
In Montana, in the sections where the rain fall
Is usually the scantiest the triangle district the
rainfall this year, has been the most plentiful In
Northeastern Montana, there has been practically
no rain since the last week in May-in fact no
rain except here and there skimp local shower.
At this time there is no promise of break
in fact it grows hotter and drier every day.
The marvel of the situation has been the way
the grain has resisted the condition. Grain on
well-farmed areas and summer fallow, will
make some crop-much more than would seem
possible. The grain poorly farmed land was
ruined long ago. Weeks ago, every farmer was
saying if we do not get rain inside of the next
week, we gone entirely, they repeated the same
prophecies next week. and the next still lot of
the crop has come through and while forced and
short, is filling quite well, and there will be bot
Of grain in spite of everything, even if the
drought continues. There is also considerable
grass on hte range and it is very good feed which
will insure good pasture for the cattle for the
coming winter. The gardens are suffering and
the vegetable crops will be short-the shortest in
years. The potato crop in the Northwest has
been cut in two.
If the drought continues on through the rest of
July and August, the usually drier part of the
year, disastrous forest fires bound to occur in
northern Wisconsin and Minnesota, in the timber
and swamp lands, where the bitches and
streams are dried up and where even the peat is
becoming dry as tinder reports tell u.s. Fire in
this peat burns all winter.
Everyone hopes for break, but the prospects
not at all encouraging.
