 In the early days ninety per cent of the settlement on land for farming was 9 lest resort of old prospectors Whc had filed to make a strike or locate a paying mine Observance of the grow ing gardens of the miner who came from the fam showed them that a living in Alaska Was assured through farming, pay streak or nc pay streak. Then too, the fancy price vegetables commanded in all the towns and camps gave the homesteader the incentive necessary to clear the land and turn to gardening Later he could engage in regu~ lar farming to produce horse feed, which commanded prices ranging from five to ten cents pound. Here was something sure as long as mining in the camp held out and it beat the pay streak proposition for the average prospeclor.
 Among these early homestead CTS was found a fair per cent who were capable farmers and who have fully demonstrated that farming in Alaska can pay: that returns from the labor Of the farmer are equal to and oft en much greater than returns to the farmer in the states. Farms developed in the Matanus ka and Panama Valleys prove beyond all doubt th2t farming in Alaska has come to stay, that the millions of acres of good farming land will in time be put in production ana that Alaska will mo- only feed it's own popu- lation but will contribute large ly to the production of wheat for the United States and the

Three trials were held and at the last one the jury vot- ed unanimously to acquit the defendant. Sentiment against conviction was also very strong at the first two trials, it is said, but there were certain men on the juries who were of the opin- ion that trappers should go hun- gry while waiting for a warden to come along and seal his pelts. The Kuskokwim district is very large one.
 The proposal to register trap lines is not a popular one in the KuskokWim, MT. Hood asserts The plan is all right in theory, lie admits, but it is his opinion and the opinion of others in his district, that the parceling out of territory in the manner sug- gested would open the way to favoritism and graft, of which there already is too much in Alaska and elsewhere as the result of unavoidable regula tons.
 Fur conditions are not so good in the upper KuskOkWim dis trict just at present and the signs of an early return of fur bearers are not any too encour- aging. It is the belief of MT. Hood, in view of the demoraliZed condition of the market, that the fur situation in Alaska. would have been materially im- proved had the Territory been closed to trapping for a time and then opened without annoy ing and confusing restrictions.

IF the threads that are interviewer fn the
manufacture of cloth cross each other singly,
the material will have smooth surface. But,
If these threads cross each other alternately by
ones and twos, the surface win be diagonally
lined.
A cloth of this sort, made Of two colors
usually combined in the same yarn, IS largely
manufactured in the south of Scotland. The
English name for this material is twin, and
the Scotch, tweed.
Tweed, which is the name by which 1t is
universally known today, had its origin In an
accident. A dealer in London once received q
shipment Of tweeds from Scotland. The words
of the invoice had been blotted, and in making
out his records, he could not read the word
tweel. But, as the material came from the
banks of the River Tweed, he accepted the
name tweed" appropriate and it has re-
manned unchanged for this particular type Of
cloth.

Lincoln Stories.'

A BRAHAM LINCOLN, whose birthday is
celebrated all over the United States on
February IL, was famous for the wise and witty
stories that he told. Here is one of them.
It is related that man once called on Presi-
dent Lincoln and asked to be appointed to some
Office I.ncoln's keen Judgment told him that
the man was not qualified for any Office, so he
said:
my friend, cannot give you an Office, but
will tell you story:
There was once King who very fond
of hunting. This King stopped at mountain
cottage one Summer day, and asked for some
refreshments When the King started out in
the afternoon the n1ountaineer who had en-
tertained him begged him not to go out as
there would be severe storm in few hours
But the King would not listen to the advice,
and set of for game.
"In short time, however, he came galloping
back in the midst of terrific storm. When the
storm had passed the King said to the
mountaineer: You are wise man, and will
give you an office
But the mountaineer replied. Tt was not my
wisdom that was able to forecast the weather.
I could tell by the way the jackass you were
riding worked his ears that there was going to
be storm.
Then the King said, IF you win not accept
the Office will give it to the jackass.'
"And thus" said Lincoln, lever since then
every jackass has been wanting an Office"
