BIG GROWTH SEEN
IN WINTER LECUME

College Station, Raleigh, Jan. IA
tremendous increase in the acreage
planted to winter legumes was an
outstanding feature of North Caro-
lina's agriculture last year, said E. c.
Blair, of State College.
In Jones County, for example, only
20 acres of clover, Austrian winter
peas, and vetch were sown in the fall
of 1886.
Last fall growers in that county
seeded 500 acres of these winter 1e-
gumes-25 times as much as the year
before, Blair continued.
Over the State, he said, growers
have not only planted more of these
soil-conserving winter legumes, but
they are growing them in the proper
manner to get the best results.

OPPORTUNITY TO FOSTER

Reports emanating from Fairbanks indicate that
conditions reminiscent of boom days prevail this
spring in the Interior country as hundreds of new
people push into the region lured by the reports of
successful enterprises of the last three years
Housing in Fairbanks is at premium and many are
reverting to the living mode of the gold rush days
and living in make-shft shelters in the open accord
ing to these who have visited there recently. More
and more men pushing out onto the creeks, ever
pursuing that magic word-gold!
With such a condition, naturally enough, there
is hardship. Many without necessary resources have
joined the invasion with the result that Fairbanks like
many other towns in the Territory, is faced with
severe unemployment problem That is to be ex-
pected No matter how clear the warning, men with
out adequate resources will come north 1t is the
history the the tide of empire and in time it usually
corrects itself
In the meantime there is more activity in the
Interior than in many year. The Chicken region

forks of the Forty-Mie; through the HeaJy River
country and Goodpaster; ALL this spring, are the
scene of prospecting and mining development work
Major problem is of transportation, and the cry
for road from the Canadian border near Dawson
to connect with the Richardson Highway at Big Delta
grows ever louder This proposed route approximately
1870 miles lcng would open up much of the promising
country mentioned above Whether this road is the
most important for construction at this time we are
not prepared to say. There may be others equally
important necessary to normal development
of the Territory. But it is evident that road con-
struction in these isolated but mineral-promising

declines to accept advice.
Young folk come under aspects
that promise adventure and change.
Many college graduates will serve
in foreign countries.
Women who are wise will cult

competition with men in the learned
professions. For those already pre-
pared to practice medicine dis

Political assassinations again are

20 Years Ago
From The Empire

APRIL 13, 1918
The War Department was giving
serious attention to the necessity
of the erection of coast defenses for
Alaska, but it was deemed imprac-
ticable to undertake the work at
time when all the artillery ma
terial was needed in the war.
John Brewer, of Nome, who had
been awarded the contract for
carrying the mail from Chitna 10
Fairbanks for a period of four
years, was making the necessary
arrangements for this work. 1t was
his intention to put auto trucks,
with the Webb chain wheel, on the
trail and also have horses in readi-
ness for an emergency. Brewer said
that as soon as the war was over
and aviators were available, he
would put "a fleet Of airplanes il
service and be able to deliver the
mail from Chitina to Fairbanks in
less than four hours.
Earl Hunter in the gasboat Santa
Rita left for the scene of the Al
HI wreck after a cargo OF ma
terial and freight which had been
salvaged from the wreck.
The harvest season for Alaska was
beginning. On every side in Ju-
neau were received calls from other
sections of Alaska and nearby To-
calities for workmen and mechanics
for the canneries and mines. Over
26 men had left in the past few
days for Gambler Bay to work in
the cannerieS.
L. Carlson, manager of the Aux
Bay cannery, was in the city and
said that the snow was still deep
at the cannery site.
Superintendent of School Arthur
M. Mathews, announced that the
schools would run on regular sched-
ule for the remainder of the year.

of genuine value to the Police Department and to
the motoring public of Juneau.
Most Juneau drivers are cautious when ap-
preaching school intersections and where children
are the streets and the Patrol will assist in empha
sizing these safety precautions which cannot be overly
stressed Cooperation of all drivers in respecting
these young traffic officers and needing their warning
signs will make for greater safety to the motorst
