SUCCESS IN MATANUSKA

Alaska is our country now Vic and look for ist station agent can point to us and say there's a couple of real sourdough colonist farmers-Mr. and Mrs Victor Johnson of Tract 97.
 Thus does Mrs. Victor Johnson, collaborating with Barrett Wlloughby widely known Alaska author con- clude article in the June American Magazine on her life in the Matanuska Valley under the title I'm a Cream-puff Pioneer
 It is an enlightenng article, and interesting in the typcay Wiloughby Boldly it contra diets the assertions of such U S. Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma who. after standing for short time on the Palmer station platform last summer, would collapse as soon as Federal aid is withdrawn" "
 Mrs Johnson very honestly points out that being Coonst is not particularly bed of roses if one is determined to make success she and her husband are doing There were hardships, especially at the start. There unfitted persons sent from the States in the undertaking. There degree Of confusion but that has been irored out in large ure the Maanuska farm wife points out. The reader gets the idea that Mrs Johnson knows what she is talking about when he reads:
 While colony life is certainly bed of neither is it pioneering in the traditional know, because my mother was born in a sod house on North Dakota prairie homestead. Moreover, I taught school in Wisconsin farming dstrc-s my spec ialty being early American history As for real Alaska pioneering my neighbor is sourdough farmer, who slashed his way into this valley with pack on his back to stake his homestead.

SATURDAY, MAY 22. 1887.

Except in the morning adverse planetary aspects rule strongly to- day, according to astrology It is la most unfortunate sway under which to lend money or to proffer any sort of aid to friends.
 The stars smile on contracts for lthe future and it is wise to sign them today. Business should be dropped at noon, for this is a rule under which rest and recreation Iare imperative.
 Newspapers and periodicals con- |tinue under a sign making for suc- ,cess and profit. Advertising should be particularly effective while this configuration continues.
 From overseas will come sensa- tional rumors, but they may serve to put this country on guard. Amer licans again are warned against in- volving the United States in trou- Ible.
 There is a prediction that be- cause of gross injustice and perse- cution of certain individuals and peoples retribution will affect all Europe. Again the innocent will suffer along with the guilty.
 Many sudden deaths are fore
 cast. The young are cautioned against dangerously strenuous ath- letic activity. Girls will regret se- were physical exertion under this planetary government Holland now may experience dif- ficulties affecting the royal fam fly. A political crisis has been foretold for the summer or early autumn.
 The seers, who foretold the in lfluence of a planet which is blamed for fires and explosions, again warn that there will be serious confla- lgrations in forests as well as cities. Persons whose birthdate it is today have the augury of a year of ad- lvancement and ssccess. Both men and women will profit through pulp Ilicity.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be determined in nature and ambitions. Subjects of this sion may be exceedingly versatile owing
 to their Gemini sign. Newman Hall, English clergyman
 and educator, was born on this day

turned his section of wilderness into paying culti- vated acres with livestock barns and dwelling that make it of the show places of the Maanuska But-to achieve his he put in twenty years of grueling work and loneliness admire that sour dough's courage and tenacity I should be proud to feel that might face such problems his with equal forttude.. But I'm happy to know that shall never be required to do SO"
 Giving a glimpse of the progress that they have made Mrs. Johnson says:
 When my husband Victor and I first set foot 40-acre tract, it. too was wilderness of birch and spruce Today sixteen months later, eight of the 40 acres are cleared and in production. Our fortaby furnished cottage overlooks excellent graveed road which connects with the ITO other tracts of fellow coonists scattered about this 100 square miles of valley. The tight log walls of our barn and chicken house, built after the govern ment's modern plans keep their occupants with out stoves in the codest weather. Our well is good one; and have all the creatures we can winter-feed from this years harvesta 100 white leghorn hens, and pigeons
 For over year I've had from five to Is boarders. The food serve them is not put on the cuff of the corporation. Vic and I, being childless permit ted credit of only $3O month. But Alaskas for ests and streams offer without cost, a variety of wild food to those willing to gather and preserve it. While Vic's rod and gun supply table with trout salmon. uucKS, geese, aHC HlOoSe caH eilougn ol these items to last through the winter. have on hand a supplementary supply of wild fruts-200 quarts of bueberries currants raspberres and cran berries which picked in the nearby woods In ad- dton my cellar contains an abundance of home canned vegetables together with cabbages, potatoes and such taken from our garden Our COW and chickens provide milk and eggs and Sunday bird. So you see we live off the fat of the land
 Giving due credit to the government. the pioneer woman writes:
 Though our comfortaple circumstances are due primarily to unceasing labor We realize that no amount of individual effort could have advanced us so far in sixteen months had it not been TOT government aid That aid enabled to reach AiasKa and be housed within five months It placed at our disposal the most efficient modern machinery tor clearing and cultivating our land supplies us with invaluable data on local soil crops, and seasonal con- ditons; and it extended the g-erm credit which assures us the necessities while we are bringing our tract into profitable production"
 themselves independent of the colony she writes and are now paying cash for everything they buy Tn addition they have lowered their debt to the govern ment to s1 700 which she assured they will eventu- ally pay in full Nine other colonsts also have de- clared themselves independent.
 Much has been written of the failures in Mata- nska Thus it refreshing to read of actual success in the Colony which bodes well for not only success for the Johnson family but for most of the right sort of Colonists and the project whole That type of people would make success at any undertaking
