SEATTLE, April 17.-Recalling frontier expansions of other lean decades, 400 young single men from relief camps will soon sail from Se- attle and San Francisco, to be fol- lowed by approximately 200 picked families-the first contingent of modern pioneers who will carve new homes in the fertile Matanus- ka valley of Alaska.
 Unlike the pioneers of the cov- cred wagon era, these moderns will travel in special trains from their homes in northern Michigan, Min nesota and Wisconsin to Seattle or San Francisco, where they will take ship for Seward. From there they will go by rail again to their new homes.
 Will Get 40-Acre Tracts
 Neither will they be forced to wrestle livelihood from the soil from the moment of their arrival. The government, through the EZRA will see that food is plentiful, tools available for clearing and planting the land and building homes, that cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry are on hand for stocking the new farms
 When the ground is cleared each family will be allotted 40-acre tract and given a drawing account of $3,000 to be repaid in 30 years with 3 per cent interest.
 Surrounded by Willow creek, the Lucky Shot and other famous gold fields, as well as one of Alaska $ most productive coal fields, these hand-picked sons and daughters of the soil will raise vegetables, grains fruits. livestock and produce dairy products. A cannery will preserve the food for distribution in the terri tory.

w. C.. HALSEY is CLAIMED
BY DEATH IN ASOTIN, WASH.

w. C. Halsey, a native of Grayson
county, having been born at Mouth of
Wilson, died on Saturday night, June
1, at Asotin, Wash, where he had
lived for several years. Death was
due to injuries received on the pre-
vious Monday morning in an accident
with an unmanageable team between
Asotin and Charleston.
Mr.. Halsey, assisted by a number
of men, was engaged in moving four
thousand head of sheep over into
Idaho for summer grazing, when the
accident happened. Returning to the
supply wagon, we'll to the rear of the
sheep, the team became unmanage-
able, began rearing and lunging,
striking Mr.. Halsey, and knocked him
down in an unconscious condition. He
was taken to the hospital, where he
did not regain consciousness for
about "a hours. During the next "a
hours he seemed to improve quite
rapidly, until at noon Wednesday, the
attending physicians appeared much
encouraged. The next day, however,
the injured man began getting worse,
and so continued until the end came.
Mr.. Halsey's boyhood life was
spent on Grayson farm, and his
education was acquired in the COM
munity school, and at Oak Hill acade-
my. After completing his schooling,
he taught for few weeks. He was a
brother of Mrs. A. E. Parsons and
I. L. Halsey, Mouth of Wilson, and
was we'll known in Grayson county.
In 1884, the deceased married Miss
Alice Halsey, New River, N. c. They
continued to reside there until 1904,
when they located in Washington.
Three sons were born to them
Archie Mccoy, William Dwight and
Wallace Edwin-two of whom sur
vive. Archie made the supreme sacri-
flee in France during the World War.
Funeral services were conducted at
2:3O p. m. on June 3, in Merchant S
chapel in Asotin. Rev. S. E.. Horni-
brook delivered the funeral sermon
and was assisted in the services by
Rev. Hedley A. Wicker, who read
scripture and offered a prayer.
Interment was in Vineland GENE.
