NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 1, 1916.
It must be an astonishing revelation
to the benighted “outsiders" to read
such articles as that contained in a
Seattle trade Journal which states that
the Alaska yellow turnips are of a
quality that can scarcely be equaled
by any similar product reaching Seat
tle from any shipping point and also
asserts that when the Alaska grower*
reach a point of production where
they will have a surplus product fo;
export to eastern markets they wll
bo able to meet any sort of competition
on the quality basis alone. When yoi
think of It, that is saying a whole
lot for a land that Is supposed ti
raise nothing but polar bears, Eski
mo's and Icebergs with a sprinkling o'
gold and furs thrown In by way o'
making up for other delinquencies in
the line of productions. The article
also goes on to state that the future
for agriculture In Alaska is regarded i
by the outside Jobbers as very briglr J
Judging by the quality of the Alaska
grown vegetables so far received ir
Seattle coupled with the known pos
sloilltipc ul the northern territory fo*
vc etablr production. It would be
truly „ good Joke if some of those hid»
bound old senators from the rural
districts who have so consistently
opposed doing anything for Alaska ot
the ground that the country was un
productive; save for its mineral wealth
should one day find the products of
their own fertile acres supplanted In
the markets of the United States by
the vegetables and cereal growths of
this despised lantl of snow and Ice
And yet such a contretemps is not
without the bounds of possibility. All
who are the least bit acquainted with
the nnrthland are a ware that vege
tables forms mature no where so rap*
id’> as they do In this country and
also that they are of a quality un
matched by those of other climes. The
long days of brilliant sunshine cou
pe! with the gentle rains character
istic of the producing sections combine
to make the Alaska climate ideal for
the raising of all the quick growing
varieties of vegetable life.
From Juneau to the far away reaches
of the Arctic slopes and well within
the Areti. circle, vegetables can be
grown where ever the proper soils can
be found. And further they are every
where of that same matchless quality
which has made them so much In de
mand in the Seattle market whenever
available. Turnips of every variety
are grown all over the territory to
gether with other varieties of surface
vegetables. Fairbanks raises strawber
ries of a quality which are, in the
opinion of epicures unsurpassed in
flavor by any domestic berry know-n
i
Fairbanks also produces potatoes by
ilie tons and the potato Industry has
i.lready reached the degree of develop
ment that the home market is being
supplied this winter by strictly home
grown potatoes. The district around
Haines is at the present time supply
ng all southeastern Alaska with cab
bage and Skagway celery is fast sup
planting the outside product in the
markets of that section. Haines has
also an enviable record for strawberry
production and produced a crop
valued at two thousand dollars during
the present season a large part ot
which was shipped to Seattle when
the berries were received with the
Mine favor given to all other of the
Alaska vegetable products handled in
that market. Skagway is also com
menclng to produce fruit crops of
ither tjpes through the planting of
fruit trees and the same Is also being
lone at Fairbanks with every prospect
.hat Alaska apples and pears will also
be added to the list of products drawn
from the northland. It is true that
.he product is small at present but
this is due solely to the fact that but
few are giving more than desultory
attention to the possibilities of this
line of wealth production. Enough
has been done, however, to show that
there are unlimited possibilities for
vegetable and fruit production and it
requires no great stretch of the im
agination to see a day when the pro
ducts of the north will find their way
to the east in easy competition with;
those of more favored localities j
Against the argument that such would1
t ct be possible because of the trans-1
portation costs, the statement of the
trade Journal may be cited. “Local.
Jobbers assert that when northern
Jobbers get to such a point that they
will have a surplus for the eastern (
markets, they will easily be able, on;
the quality basis alone, to get more;
than enough additional to cover the
freight charges over any sort of com !
petition that may develop.”
SCIENCE OVERTAKES NATURE.
—
(Chicago Herald
A Chicago physician lately declared j
in a lecture In an eastern city that
' girls with "baby eyes,” pink cheeks
and deliciously downy faces make the 1
best wives.
Thus does science, after limping
Uong for a millennium or so, finally
-et up steam, make a spurt, and over
ake nature. The poets and the ro
mancers, recording observation of lov
ers all about them, made the doctor’s
liseovery before they "hewed the
Sphinx’s visage,” and before "Homer
twanged his bloomin’ lyre.”
Or if they didn’t precisely affirm that
iuch girls make the best wives the>
recorded the solemn fact that such
Tlrls get the most husbands. Or to
.it It more accurately, and In a way j
w hid. accuses no lady of a liking for j
•he rc yandrous practices of Thibet
iuch girls get the first choice of hus
bands and other kinds of girls take!
what Is left.
It is true that of late certain writer? j
'f fiction have sought to exalt "the
women of a certain age, and even
‘the lady with a past.” Careful read
°rs, however, know that the main aim
and object cf these Interesting female?
Is apt to be slightly different from
that of getting husbands, to keep
oermanently.
Since the average marriage is rea
sonably happy and the marriage that
isn’t is the exception, despite divorce
records, it stands to reason that the
girls who get the most husbands, and
keep them, make the best wives. The
observant physician’s statistically but
tiessed pronouncement mersly illus*
trates how wonderful science is, es
pi-cially when it happens to catch up
-vth nature.

ENI CLUB DECISION
CREATED MUCH INTEREST
The federal court of appeals at Pan
Francisco lias handl'd down a decision
denying the petition for a hearing In
the case of the Enl Club, of Nome,
Vlaska, which appealed f om n decision
of Judge Tucker of the Second division
requiring the Club to^ke out a $1,000
liquor license If It winc'd to soli Into*
cants to Its members. The decision
has been awaited with a great deni of
Interest throughout Alaska, as the
Tllllkum Club in Valdez and tho Tan
ana Club In Fairbanks were similarly
■ffeeted by the rulings of Judge Tucker
The attorneys for the Enl Club plead d
he men In Alaska outnumbered the
women in Aluska five to 0"e and be
muse of the lack of home life and ties
•he men needed the recreation afforded
by clubs f this charm ter, for wlthi »t i
’hem the ■ would patronize saloons,
and the morals of the commodity were,
better p-eserved In a club. In Its de
cision the court said th.it the lack of
women In Alaska had nothing to do
with the matter ns the judges wer'
bound by law and could not consider
the social aspect of the case, and that
on legal grounds there was no error In
the decision of Judge Tu.ker which!
must be upheld.—Cordova Times.
WE'RE WITH YOU, UNCLE SAM
(Seattle Star.)
Up in Seward, Alaska, Frank Cotter,
a little, red headed svuiuuugu runs u
uions’ furnishings store. Between
times, when business is slack, i uiin
sits down at his typewriter and ral
lies off poetry. He writes under the
name of Fat O'Connor, and he 11 be
put out when he gets the copy ot tue
.star and learns that wove given him
away.
f-oiks up in Alaska tlilnk Cotter is
a Worthy successor to Dwelt £>eiviee
iiere is his luiest etloit:
while all Euiope Is a shambles,
And the whole world is at war,
And naif the laud the sun snines on
Is drenched in human gum;
When every nation counts the men
It knows are tried and true,
We send this message to you, Sam
"ALASKA STANDS WITH YOU."
You've never treated us quite right;
You've grabbed away our coal.
And reserved all our firewood,
And what we've used we stole;
You soaked us on our cable lolls,
But we don t give a DAMN—
Even at twenty eight cents a word,
WE'RE WITH YOU.^UNCLE SAM
You squandered untold millions
On the lousy Philippines,
But you always made Alaskans
Go and hustle for their beans.
Your black and tan possessions.
While they've cost you quite a few-,
Can never be depended cn,
But we'd go to hell for you,
We're quite unu3ued to luxuries,
We’ve always played alone;
When we asked for help to build our
trails
You handed us a stone;
You four-flushed on the railroad.
But we don’t give a DAMN—
If they monkey with the Eagle,
WE'RE WITH YOU, UNCLE SAM
You gave us leave to make some laws,
Then tied our hands behind;
This gift to us was just the same
As pictures to the blind.
Your laws all have some Joker
To catch the sourdough,
And It’s hard to beat you game, Sam.
When It's framed up down below,
We've always been the dumping ground
For political “misfits,"
But, Sam, If you’re In trouble
We’re willing to cry “Quits."
We've never had an even break,
But we don’t give a DAMN—
L’ the Lion growls, remember this—
WE'RE WITH YOU. UNCLE SAM
.
We’re used to meeting trouble,
And If you put us to the test.
You'll find Alaska loves you, Sam.
Far better than the rest.
But, Sam, when this Is over
As the morning follows night
Pray glvo us some attention.
And get some matters right
We need some decent cable rates;
We need some decent malla;
We need some decent coast lights.
We need some decent trails.
You've given these to all the rest,
But we don’t give a DAMN—
If It's grown men you’re needin’,
WE’RE WITH YOU, UNCLE SAM
