EDITORIAL PAGE
ALASKA AS A FOOD CENTER
Never before lias Alaska been giv
en ns much favorable comment In
Outside newspapers as during the
present year. A recent article o\j Al
aska’s possibilities as a food-supply
center, was published by the Times
■Tournal. of Dohuque, Iowa. The ar
ticle is as follows:
“We’ve known for some time non
that Alaska is supplying Uncle Sam
with his gold; for many years Alas
kan salmon has helped to feed Un
people of the United States; Alaskan
furs have been a big item of export;
we have known that pretty soon Al
aska will begin to keep the Pacific
Coast warm with her coal, and we
know also that here vast mineral, wa
ter power, and timber resources are
practically untouched and that the fu
j ture will sec an enormous develop
moot-in those industries. Rut we had
never quite realized that Alaska
might' be a big storehouse from which
tiie States could derive a large portion
of their food supply. Somehow, it
hadn’t o.-enrred to ns that cattle rais
ing might some day become an impor
tant item in Alaska’s industrial de
velopment. And so the information
which comes from the T’nited States
Department of Agriculture, showing
that successful cattle raising of ordi
nary domestic cattle is even now go
ing on near the Arctic Circle is rath
er surprising.
In the fall of 1911, J. A. Reiger.
who conducts a road house about 15
miles from the town of Circle on the
road from Circle to Fairbanks brought
in twenty-six head of young cattle,
lie believed that stock could be win
tered on the native hay or swab
grass if he' eonv( i ted it into ensil
age. He built a silo of logs, on a
small creek near his road house, calk
ed with moss and painted on the
inside with cement. At the head of
his creek are large natural meadows.
The coarse wild grass was cot. float
| od down the creek, put into the silo
I and rammed tight with a small mix
j lure of salt.
i The stock was grazed in the open
! until October 12, after which they
were given the fermented grass, that
they ate eagerly. They were provid
ed with a log barn for shelter in the
extreme cold weather. They were fed
on the ensilage alone until April of
the following spring, when it was all
consumed, ami hay had to be iniport

ed. They grew fat on the salty food,
and retained excellent health. At
present, lteiger has '."> head of the fiu
cst cattle to be ft ■ - I anywhere, and
•it no time since llu first winter has
hc imported any h .v for them.
The importune- of this experiment
lies in the fact that the entire Yukon
flats from Circle to Fort Hamlin,
nearly 100 hundred miles in width,
furnishes thousands of these natural
meadows, on which I his grass grows.
With an enorn ■ reindeer indus
try already startr i i Arctic Alaska
and already alii| - -■ reindeer meat
to the States: w ■ the introduction
>t‘ domestic cattle in interior Alaska,
and with the breeding stations of the
agricultural department proposing to
develop a special strain for the conn
try, the future of the meat industry
in Alaska looks very promising.- I..-:

COAL’ MEANS CHEAPER COPPER.
Given needed coal from A!:. :'a. V
ov.n mines territory will prodv"
mormons amount of copper next year.
This is the situation now eon-''rout
ing not merely the northern treasure
land but the administration as weil
tor there is no question that Air.
Wilson is sincerely desirous of seeing
this possession of the republic opened
up to a material degree 'luring his
administration.
The dispatch north of George Wal
kins Evans a Seattle mining engineer,
with instructions to survey the land
into units of forty acres each, i- hail
ed as the final physical step toward
the throwing open of the eoal field
to private enterprise.
However, a matter of fully as great
importance is the drawing of leases
that will attract capital to the north,
where the market for the fuel already
exists aud where it is certain that ad
ditional markets will exist as more
mining enterprises are developed.
With reasonable assurances concerning
the security of investments, there >•
no question that the money will be
forthcoming.
Copper is in big demand at present
and will be worth even more next
year should the war continue that
long. Given coal, the copper will l"'
forthcoming and the nation, as well
as the territory, will prosper to a
corresponding degree.—Seattle Times.

FARIBANItS TIAN SOMETHING OF j
OF A BURBANK
Fairbanks, July 19- In Fairbanks,
fresh strawberries are a luxury, en
joyed by few, owing ;qhigh price
charged for them, Hut it will be but
a short time until the most humble
will bo able to partake of them,
thanks to John Seharle, tho Garden
Island gardner, says the Fairbanks
Times. For six long years. Mr.
Seharle lias been experimenting with
various species of berries, trying
to perfect a plant that would grow
and produce berries out of doors; out
that would stand the cold weather, i
and at last he is successful.
In the window of Golden’s grecery,
store at the corner of First Aevnuo
and Wiekersham street, a number of
hardy strawberry plants which will
stand all kinds of weather, are on
display. The mother of tho plants is
a healthy strawberry plant, a wild one
which was found about three miles
from Fairbanks, while the father Is
■in imported one from tho States.
The technical name of tho father
plant is the “Jessy,” while Mr.
Seharle has named the wild mother
plant the “Central Alaska.”
From these, he started to raise 3.
000 plants, but of those only 10 ma
tured and were good. Of these -10,
>nl_v about 12 suited the owner and
he lias discarded practically all others.
Mr. Seharle has been offered a very
substantia! sum by several Now York
nursery establishments- if he can pro
'.luce a plant that will withstand all
kinds of cold weather. He now has
the plant they want, and will send
some to them as soon e.s he is satis
fied that he lias found the best pos
sible plant.
From the plants, which lie now has
on hand, Air. Seharle expects to grow
fifty thousand pla its within the next
two years, and with ttiese it will be
but a short time until Fairbanksnns
will be able to get strawberries for
heir breakfast at a nominal cost—Ex.

FAIRBANKS YIELD
An exchange says that the strike
of Russians and other laborers brought
on in Alaska by the compulsory eight
hour law will *uot seriously affect tiic
gold production of that region is the
■ ■pinion of Murdock Morrison, who op
crates claim No. 8 on Goldstream
creek. Morrison Is a recent arrival
from Fairbanks and is a guest at
the Savoy Hotel, Seattle. He esti
mates that the Fairbanks region will
produce $3,000,000 in gold dust before
the season closes.
“Mnnv of the Fairbanks creeks
have been worked out.” said Mor
rison. “and the operators are now
j busying themselves with the aurifer
ous gravels of the benches and side
hills.”
.Morrison believes that the recent
strike at Tolovaua is going to prove a
good one and bases the belief on tlie
fact that one party took out 150 ounc
e.s of gold this spring, lie says the
heavy cost of freighting in supplies,
however, will hamper development to
a considerable extent.
“The quartz mines of Fairbanks
will turn out all right,” he said.
’.“Most- of the claims are working.
Nobody knows how much they are
making, but tho faet is they are
keeping at it and paying tlicir bills
right along—Exchange.
