INDUCING AGRICULTURE
 PITRSITTS

I The greatest benefit to any new country is permanent settlement of the agricultural land by bona fide farmers, and the greatest efforts Iof all Governments is directed to that end. For over 30 years the farming possibilities of the central Alaskan valleys have been spoken Iof, and written about, exhaustively Each succeeding management of the railroad has taken a whack at the settlement problem, and failed. The usual method by the different
 managers, has been enticing far
 merS in states, by illustrated lec- lures, etc, to transfer their activi- ties to Alaska, painting in glowing terms the luxuriant groWths, the ease of acquiring land, etc. Year after year a few farmers have re- Sponded, and visited this region. I believe their annual number could be counted on two hands. These few have come and seen, and eith- er abandoned farming as an occu- patton, or returned to the states WHY? Tt is NOT because the soil is poor, or land unavailable, or too hard to clear. or schools not handy, or that winters are more severe than in northern states. NO-IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO AS SURED AND STEADY MARKET FOR FARM PRODUCTS. That is the real answer.

tor of present policies This is, nc doubt, an effort to increase the revenue. BUT ANY EXPENDITURE
 WHATEVER, SOLELY FOR THIS PURPOSE, IS A WASTE AT THIS
 TIME, and WITHOUT GOOD RE SUITS TO THE DEVELO
 OF ALASKA Strict tourist travel
 does not now, and never has, stim- lulated or helpel the development
 of cOuntry's internal resources Small European States are very
 greatly helped financially by tour list travel, but the inhabitants are changed from industrial workers to the status of personal servants AlaSkanS are not at all a type of hardy frontiersman whose instinct land pleasure is to heW a home and living from a new country. This is the last frontier, yes. but most ot the inhabitants are coSmOpoli- tan city folks, with the one idea ot
 making money with the least ef- fc~t. If, therefore, this country Iscould gain enough tourist travel to provide Alaskans with more of
 an income than they could get, at
 first, from the development of the esources, IT WILL RETARD GROWTH, and turn the population
 into bunch of servers.
 The great majority of tourists
 visiting this country are people of small means, using years of savings on the trip. From observation I would say the average age of adults it's 50 years, and of children Is years These two elements combine to create far greater expectations of plea res and beauties to be seen, than Alaska can fulfill. They are not seasoned travellers, and the length oT the trip, combined with the unfulfIlled expectations, make THE MAJORITY OF THEM DIS CREDIT THE COUNTRY AND EVERYTHING IN TT.
 I believe this knocking to be one of the main reasons for the great slump in tourist travel this season. is this true of those the trip down the Yukon River. and out this way to the states That trip is both tiresome and uninteresting nine-tenths of the distance. For the good of AL aska it should be discouraged The only one that should be encourag- ed at present is the round trip

 This railroad should not cater to the "Threadbare" tourist T h c $5O,0OO or so, expended last year on tourists batting would have been much better spent on some devel- opment work along the railway. The seasoned traveller, the high class tourist, the big game hunter, etc., will come no matter what schedule, or service, the railroad gives, and one of these is worth a dozen of the "threadbare' kicking kind

of Alaska. Complaint that lack of hotel accommodation would work Ia hardship if this were done, IS NOT TRUE. So far as have been able to learn, the hotels in Seward have been full but twice in the last three years.
 The one valid argument of inter- for people against this proposed schedule is that the delay of day

lin Seward keeps them waiting for mail, and is detrimental to perish able shipments, (fresh fruits and vegetables. The complaint of an extra day iii mail transit IS far fetched, for in the old days WI A it took three weeks to deliver mail to Fairbanks they were very happy and contented when it was cut down to two. The other objection can be met by equiping the ice cold storage cars with freezing ap- iaratus. to make them equal in this respect to the boats But, if that proved unsatisfactory, then one of the large gas car combinations could be used for mail and perisha- ble haulage, leaving here as quickly as possible after the boat arrived, and making a NONSTOP RUN THROUGH TO FAIRBANKS dur ing the open season.
 It is to be expected that Fair banks will vigorously pro e t against any curtailment Of trans portation service, but there is NO VALID REASON why the Govern ment should spend AN ENORMOUS SUM OF MONEY just to provil e them with fresh fruit and vegeta- bles, and a quicker mail service, by keeping trains running in the win r ter. Before they had this service, the town was larger and more prosperous, and no real hurt would come to the community if it was discontinued during the winter months. The only commercial change it might occasion would he the closing Of the little ca. and carry stores. but as these are not an asset to the community their loss would not be felt.
 If frequent train service, and close connections at Seward, was as necessary to Fairbanks as they claim, WHY IS THE TOWN, AT THE PRESENT TIME, AT ITS LOWEST EBB, both population and commercially, after having the fast schedule for long time?

AIRPLANE SERVICE

AARPLANE SERNIGE
 If the railroad were not operat- ling during the winter, of is chang to highway which might be blocked with snow, there would be regular travel by dog team, and stage-line- But I believe all mail and express, and some passengers would be handled by airplane from the end of the open road to Fair banks, by the present interior air plane service companies.
 LUXURIES
 Fancy and luxurious rolling stock, all steel trains, etc., are not needed. and it is a waste of money ito provide them. Tens of thous- ands of dollars have been expended the last year on unnecessary equip ment. The luxurious new observa - tion car eliciets much surprise and praise, but was drain UNJUSTI- FEED. The great, powerful snow blow purchased lately, will break thru the snow drifts and slides quicker than the ones We had, and So will, no doubt, save few days delay, for a dozen or sO travellers, who have had to spend a few more dollars in Alaska while waiting for our old, ordinary blows to do the work in the past. At will take more engines to push this blow, and so will add few names to Anchor ages payroll. BUT JUST WHAT BENEFIT will it bring to Alaska.
 MILAGE AND FREIGHT RATES
 There should be an immediate raise of THE PASSENGER RATE FROM SIX CENTS ITO TEN CENTS PER MILE. The resulting loss of traffic would not be more than 25 percent of the gain in revenue. Such advance would bring a pro- test, but would be beneficial in general, both to the railroad and the people Tn the old Alaska Northern days a charge of 20 cents per mile for open gas car travel was paid and half that amount, now, would also be cheer 'ully paid if the alternative were given of shutting the railroad town. The raise in rate would also nave an influence in keeping inter- or people from running outside to pend their money FREIGHT RATES ON ALL M pORTED PRODUCE SHOULD BE RAISED, so as to stimulate home { of home grown food \ This applies to lumber, coal and neat also.

---| OIldpUCI Q. MORSE'S MASTERPIECE

Anne lifted the glasses and lev eled them at the great triangular basin between two solid wedges of mountain rock, which third slowly rearing wall of cement and stone was making into giant reservoir
 Over the basin, some quarter of mile away, hung a complicated network of scaffolding, on which innufnerable mannikins clun g. clung and worked. Up and down the rflountainside, crawled innum- erable others, a ceaseless, harried ant-column, carting up material passing it to the insects on the scaffolding, then hurrying away for more.
 "The people around here, the na- tives, you know" Douglas ex- plained, "are dead against the re5- ervoir project. They have their own little private ditches which the big reservoir will drain off. They will be forced to pay for water rights which they had before for nothing, and naturally they're fight ing the thing tooth and nail. There is even talk of"

 What hermit?' her companion inquired
 The man in front turned. "Oh, was just making a little joke" he explained.

 "Doubtless-for "A hoursl' Doug las remarked sagely, as he quick ened up his pace little and swung around the next bend in the trail a half dozen feet ahead of the others.
 "No--" Morse said reflectively, his eyes on Anne, "a hut in the mountains is most emphatically not the proper frame for you. For come women it might be all right that or a ranch house on the plains-even tenement on the East side; these are the settings best fitted to bring out their par ticular quality But for you"
 She looked up curiously. For me what kind of frame?"
 For you-a frame worthy of the subject, frame of gold. a back ground of great rooms and spacious corridors-elegance, luxury, har- mony. That is the only background suited to you"

DOUGLAS HI CHALLENGES
 JUNEAU FIVE
Series of Basketball Games
 Planned Between Chan nel School Elves

According to basketball talk, it won't be long now!" On behalf of the Douglas Hi team, Superin- tendent Cathcart and MT. King are forwarding a challenge to the Juneau basketball team for a game on the Juneau floor on January IT or 18 Juneau is challenged on the condition that she refrain from using as member of her team any student who has been engaged in any form of athletics for remunera- ton or under the auspices of any other than a school organization; also that at each game there be two referees, each school trusting the other to provide referee whom it believes will qualify. In view of the fact that these requests are nothing more than customary rul- ings in high school athletic asso- citations bylaws throughout the United States, we feel quite con- fident that Juneau will accept our challenge" said the school au- thoritieS.
 Douglas has challenged Juneau tc play a series of either two or four games, a third or fifth game to be slated in case of tie. Il an uneven number of games is tc be played, the Douglas team has asked that the place of playing b. decided by a "heads-or-tails" toss.
 Members and officials of tht Douglas high school squad have re- gently observed the Juneau tean in action, and they say that therf will be very interesting, perhap: very close contest to look forware to in the l929-3o Juneau-Dougla! series. Of course, the Dougla! boosters have pretty good ides which side the pendulum will swins to.

 Anne focused the glasses on the clinging figures on the scaffolding Suddenly she leaned eagerly for ward. Far out on the scaffolding bending over some newly poured ce- tnent, with the pail in his hand, stood her acquaintance of the mountain spring.
 While she watched him intently he strengthened up, and moved on to another part of the scaffolding Among all the other husky work men, there was no mistaking his frame and stature.
 With barely audible gasp, she dropped the glasses, then on sec of1d thought quickly found the fo- cus again and indicated that Doug las was to look.
 Who is he?" she asked with al much casualness and indifference as she could command.
