ALASKA'S BIG YEAR

Inquiries at travel agen- cies and advance bookings with steamship lines indi- cate that Alaska will have a great tourist season this year.
 Transcontinental railroads are cooperating to increase the natural interest in the northern territory by bring ing it to the attention of prospective summer travel CTS.
 Tourists are awakening to the fact that the Alaska trip offers much in the way of scenic interest, comfort able travel and natural cur iosities.
 The journey by way of the inside passage to the Northland has no counter part in the world.
 Among steamship men it is predicted that Alaska will have more visitors this year than at any time since the great gold strikes at Nome and Fairbanks, a gen eration ago.
 At the height of the tra- vel season which they eX- pect to be reached in June and July, there will be daily sailings of freight or passen ger ships from Seattle tc Alaska.
 In anticipation of the in- crease the Alaska Steam ship Company has added two large passenger and cargo vessels to it's fleet. Subscribe for the Nugget

The One Way Ride

Being taken for ride in the term of gangland,
implies that the victim has been taken for one-way
ride-a ride from which he will never return. Law
abiding citizens shudder at the thought and the hor
ror of that act of gangland brought thousands upon
thousands of pleas for better law enforcement-tne
Omen got busy. No sane citizen would subscribe to
the theory of gangland and yet thousands of people
enter upon that one-way ride and until it hits close
to home very few raise their hands in horror.
Upon the highways, speed and carelessness are
the gangsters who take toll of honest lives the
one-way drive, which ends in flowered lot at the
cemetery. The dead strewn along the highways
as sacrifice to those gangsters and it is within
power-the Car-men-to stop it.
The ruthlessness of gangsters cannot compare
with the deaths caused by carelessness and speed
proven from the following percentages derived after
counting the dead-from automobiles-for 1885: 81
percent driving too fast; II percent the wrong
side of the road; Is percent did not have the RICH:
of way; IA percent drove off the roadway; Is per-
cent wreckless driving; 10 percent miscellaneous
And the most accidents caused by the able-bodied
intelligent experienced driver!
Haste makes waste! Speed and carelessness
wreck more lives than any other agency. Wake up.
Be alert while driving!

Foreign Farm Products

The following article prepared by Representative

trough the governments farm and tariff program
Under the theory that we producing
surplus of farm products, the farmers in this
country induced to take around 30OOO,-
900 acres of farm land out of production, so
to produce less. After three years, they
found they were providing abundant
American market for foreign farm products
Foreign imports for the year 1885 and the
percentage of increase over 1884 tell the
story of what happened. Some 2O2OOO0OO
pounds of wool were imported, increase
of $50, representing wool from 250O00OO
foreign sheep; 17,5O00OO bushels of flax,
increase of 2496 representing flax from
100000 of foreign land; 2740O,000
bushels Of wheat, an increase of $3.50, this
wheat representing 1,S30OO0 of foreign
land 100000 bushels of corn, an increase
of 1880, representing more than 100000
of corn land 100000 bushels of rye,
an increase of 27%o, representing $4,000
acres of foreign land; 364.623 head of cattle,
an increase of $3.50 166y0O00O0 pounds of

1884. There was imported during 1885, o.
674,00O pounds of butter, an increase of /,
94S% over 1884.
The total dairy imports for 1885 in terms
of milk amounted to 1,1180O0 pounds At
1000 pounds of milk per year for the average
cow, the dairy farmers of this country gave
way to 279,00O head of foreign cows. These
cattle consumed feed and pasture from sew
eral hundred thousand acres of land. Surely
a governmental program in which DOM
este market was given to foreign farmers
can be of no benefit to American agriculture.

Minnesota, says e. c. Stakman,
chief of the plant pathology section
of University Farm, st. Paul.
If grain must be sown on corn

should be plowed under deep.

Higher Lake Levels Forecast BY
Olson
A substantial rise in Minnesota
lake levels as a result of heavy
snowfall was predicted last week by
Walter Olson, director of the div

IF we have normal rainfall this
spring and summer, there will be a
considerable increase in ground wa
ters and a consequent rise in lake
levels" Olson stated.
Flood conditions in Minnesota
were very materially eased by the
fact that there was a dry fall in
the southwestern part of the state
where the snowfall was heaviest,
and that during the spring break

sufficient length to cause the melt
