ATLIN. B. C., Jan. 8.-(Special to Daily Alaska Empire) Left Tul- sequah December 27, three days to Inklin, IA hours travelling time.
 For the first time in my life l have seen blue water the color of icebergs. on the headwaters of the Taku Water fast, cold and cruel running between its icy banks. Travelled on gravel bars, crossing the channels of the river on log sweepers with poles from logs to ice on opposite banks.
 Chocack Lacgoose, Billy Williams to you, scolded his sons and made them put boughs over holes so 1 could not see water underneath while crossing. White Lady plenty scared" Crossed on my hands and knees and dogs followed like soldiers. Crossed the upper Taku another place over rapids on huge cakes of ice three feet apart held by sweepers and snags. Put chain on Tip and each dog fell in water and pulled them out onto anothe cake of ice. Ice two feet wide, in places just room for sled with wa ter leaping over and gurgling un- derneath. l jumped over and just made it, but they had chain on me, too.
 Sled in Water
 From Inklin House travelled to Canoe Navigation an Naxina River. Followed ice on bank with open wa ter on one side. My sled tipped over and my movie camera bounded into water. Fished it out with gaff hook made of poles.
 From Canoe Navigation two In- dians went back and I started up Sloko Mountain with Lakuata Slad- anta, otherwise Frank Williams, with his sled and two dogs carrying smoked salmon and my Woods sleeping bag. My own sled so heavy in steep places we put seven dogs on and both of us pushed and pulled.
 Took three days to reach Sloko Summit and glorious sunshine. Was terribly thrilled to htar Elec- tra over Sloko river Could have dropped down easily for visit. Many good landing fields on Sloko Sum- init, and cluttered with lakes.
 Dropped down to Silver Salmon crossing Telegraph Trail to Faulk- ner's cabin, three miles south of Dixie Lake. From Dixie Lake to O'Donnell river and hit the trail tc Hot Springs.

FARMERS APPROVE
NEW SOIL PROGRAM
Extension Service Sweep Of
State Continues With
Great Success

College Station, Raleigh, April T.
The new soil-improvement program is
receiving widespread approval from
North Carolina farmers, Dean I. o.
Schaub, of State College, announced
here today.
Representatives of the State College
extension service who held meetings
in 20 eastern North Carolina counties
last week to explain the new pro-
gram told the Dean that farmers are
eager to get it started.
At a numper CT meetings, the speak
ers asked farmers who plan to coop
crate with the program to raise their
hands, and in each case the show of
hands was almost unanimous.
The farmers were told that after
the program has been explained to
them, they could make preparations
at once for cooperating with it, The
work sheets, to be used in connection
with each farm, will soon be available
in each county, the dean said.
AS no contracts are to be signed, the
farmers will not have to wait for a
sign-up to be completed, he added.
However, all farmers are urged to
consult their county agents in regard
to what they should do to get the
most benefits out of the program
Later in the year, local committee
men will make a check of farms I'M
der the program to determine the a.
mount of soil-conservation grants to
be paid each grower.

Fits in Well With

College Station, Raleigh, April T.
The agricultural program for North
Carolina developed by the state Col
lege extension service will work we'll
in connection with the new soil-in-
provement program, said Dean I. o.
Schaub, of State College.
The state program is based on de-
finite crop rotations, more soil-build-
ing and erosion-preventing crops,
more food and feed crops for home
use, higher yields and better quality
of all crops, more livestock, and bal
anced farming. i.
This program has been presented
in detail in a 7O-page bulletin, "Agri-

His Campaign From Now on

Raleigh, April THE campaign
managers for DR.. Ralph w. McDon-
aid are certain of one thing, at least
They are going to give the State
the greatest political show it has ever
seen, whether they succeed in nomi-
mating DR.. Mcdonald or not, although
they are fully confident they will do
both, it was indicated at Mcdonald
headquarters here today. With Nc
Donald a veritable political John
Barrymore and Houdini combined,
with his campaign manager, Willie
Lee Lumpkin, to help him write his
lines and develop his plot and with
Phillip Whitley as stage manager and
producer, it is generally conceded
that the Acknowledgements
Theatrical Company is going to pro-
duce the greatest political thriller
ever staged in North Carolina.
1t is now becoming generally known
that Whitley, who at one time was re-
garded as McDonald's choice for
campaign manager, has become the
unofficial stage manager of the NC
Donald campaign. It is understood
that Whitley has already = remarked
Earl Carroll of this campaign and to
put on a political show which the
people of North Carolina will never
forget" And with John. Barrymore
Mcdonald as his star and Ben Hecht
Lumpkin as script writer, Earl Car
roll Whitley should not have much
trouble in staging a thriller that will
make the people of North Carolina
sit up and rub their eyes for months
to come. Many already agree that
so far Mcdonald and his stage man
ayers have had uncanny success in
convincing many people that black is
white and that Mcdonald can pick
money out of the air with as much
ease as Houdini picked rabbits out
of hats.
This very hockus-pokus which Nc
Donald is using so effectively so far
in his campaign admittedly has the
other candidates especially their
supporters, considerably worried.
For while the hackers of CLYDE r.
Hoey and Sandy Graham frankly adj
NIT that their candidates have logic
and facts on their side in the cam
paign, some frankly admit that even
Hoeys oratory and Graham's factual
knowledge of government are no
match for the soft lights, the party
scenery, lovely illusions and generally
superior showmanship of Mcdonald
and his stage managers. Unless
Hoey and Graham can get some
fancy scenery and some clever tricks
they are going to have hard time.
