MUSEUM REGISTRATIONS
 SHOW BIC JUMP
Tourists This Year Come from Every Corner
 of Globe

| Travel to Alaska this year show ed a considerable increase over l93J as is shown by the greater number of registrations at the Territorial Museum for the months of 1884 to date. From January through Sep tember there have been 6,551 regis trations this year in contrast to 4,672 for the same months in 1883, according to the Rev. A. P. Kashe- varoff, Curator of the Museum.
 While some of the registrations are those of Alaskans, the great majority are from the States, var ious> parts of Canada, Hawaiian Islands or foreign countries.
 June, July and August, are, of course the high months, and in- clude the greatest number of va- cationists and travellers. In June, 1884, 999 people registered in the museum guest book compared to 654 for June, 1883; in July, 1884, 2,356 signed their names as com pared to 1,641 for the same month last year and in August, 1884, there are signatures of 1913 visitors where in August, 1883, there were only 1,263, difference of more than 500 The increase was more than TOO visitors in the peak month, July, for this year.
 Every State Represented
 Practically every State in the Union is represented with perhaps the Pacific Coast claiming more than any one particular district. California and Washington almost tie for first place and Oregon also contributed her share of visitors, though they came from the entire continent, from Point Barrow to Florida.
 Next to continental United States. the greatest number of the more than $500 registered visitors here came from the various Provinces of Canada this year, as is custom arily the case, though nearly twen- ty countries, territories or provinces outside the continental limits of North America are listed as home py some of our many tourists.
 Hawaii, the United States second Territory in size, sent 27 visitors. and one each registered from the Phlllppine Islands and Puerto Rico. Thirteen callers at the museum registered from England while others came from Scotland. Wales Australia, Manchuria, Germany France, South Africa, Japan. China. switzerland and Manchukuo.
 In addition to these there were many who registered from the numerous naval vessels that stop- ped in Juneau during the sum- mer, the U. s. s. Oglala, U. s. s. Crowninshield, U. s. s. Buchanan. U. s. s. Holland and accompany

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 11.-Despite drought and damaged crops, au- tumn is bringing golden harvest to Nebraska.
 Far from pessimlsulc, farmers of the Cornhusker state turn from reports that they are 'dro1ght- stricken" to count more dollars than they have figured since 1880.
 One reliable private estimate, based on government crop figures and current market prices, places their total 1884 income at $144 4,235,- 900.
 There is no denying the extent of damage done by scorching winds and rainless weeks, but spectacular price increases, combined with added thrift and cash benefits under the governments AAA program have assured Nebraska of a farm in- come approximately $12,000,000 more than than of 1883, $60,000,000 more than 1882 and s4,0OO,000 more than 1881.
 Retail Sales Increase
 In the cities, likewise, the pres sure of flowing cash is being felt as reliable indicators point to an upturn in purchasing power.
 A spokesman for Omaha retail CTS, for example, reports an in- crease in retail sales here during the first seven months of $23,000,- poo over the same period last year; Omaha bank clearings in August showed an increase of $26,197, ,l9S over last August Smaller communi- ties report corresponding gains.
 Newspapers have been devoting considerable space in recent weeks to discounting any impression that Nebraska is "on the ropes"
 Hay Down, Price Up
 The farmer, they argue, is well ahead in the long run even though his crops-in some inStances-are greatly reduced by lack of moisture Selling prices of the things he rais- es have increased during recent months between 50 to 100 per cent over last years prices.
 Hay production, for instance, has been reduced greatly, but hay worth three or four dollars ton ,.z4 ,,oo~ ;e col1ino at t17 in fha7 stack. Wheat, corn, hogs, cattle. chickens, milk, butterfat, eggs and all the other farm commodities tell the same story of reduced volume but increased value.
 In addition to getting higher prices for the hogs they raise, the farmers are receiving AAA cheeks for the hogs they didn't raise. Bene- fit checks, under the corn-hog plan, will total $30,0000o0 in the state Wheat benefits will total S5,759 ,000.
 Other government agencies, too, are contributing to Nebraska's larg- CT income The farm credit ad- ministration is reducing interest rates on farm loans. The Public Works Administration is in process of pending $30,O00.000 in the state. The EZRA has spent more than $12,OO0,O0O here prior to Sep tember l.

they utilized everything on the farm but the pigs Squeal.
 Cows that year ago were out on pasture - largely unattended this year were fed on corn and every quart of cream was saved to sell. On thousands of Nebraska farms, trench silos were dug and tons of corn stalks, left to rot in the field in former years, were piled in; they'll be valuable stock feed during the winter.
