At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of

sion.

ed of murdering one Phillips at AIc

Dr| J. T. Westcrmann is receiving
orders for strawberries, and wc guess
not California strawberries, either, but
real, red, luscious strawberries grown
in the Matanuska valley, says the
Anchorage Times. To further adver
tiise the first appearance of Matanuska
strawberries on the Anchorage mar
ket, Dr. Westcrmann is having a
photograph made of them, which will
be used as evidence for the “doubting
Thomases."
Lieut. Joseph Mehaffey, engineer of
ficer of the Alaska road commission,
recently received notice of his promo
tion to a captaincy. He thinks that
his promotion is the result of the gen
eral preparedness scheme, for, with
the mobilization of troops for the
» Mexican border and the prospect of
raining the number of troops compos
ing tho standing army, it becomes
4 necessary to promote some of the
younger officers. As Captain Mehaffey
told the Fairbanks Times, “the kids
have come in for a raise.”
A Seattle dispatch of July 29 states
that Dr. Alfred H. Brooks, head of the
Alaska division of the United States
S Geological Survey, is in that city on
his way to Alaska. At a banquet
In his honor the geologist told
'“sent that he had never rc
•ee of "doctor” from any
i said it was a “rall
’ferred upon him by
>f the Yukon.” Grad
hls friends called him
•wue early days. Seattle
it up next, and finally it got
• back to Washington and all over the
country, until today all the official re
ports of the government refer to him
ns “Dr." Brooks. In remarking on It,
Dr. Brooks said that he prized the de
gree more than if it had been conferred
upon him by all the universities of tho
east Dr. Brooks will spend some time
at Chicagoff islands before proceeding
to any other part of Alaska.
Little Hazel Hensley, the ten year
old daughter of Mrs. Kittle Hensley,
is now on her way to the outside, the
. first child to be sent out from Fair
banks under the juvenile court act, says
the Fairbanks Citizen of July 24. She
is going to the Bethamy Home for
Girls at Glendale, Ohio. The matron
who Is in charge of the little girl is
Miss Clara White Cooley. The child
and her mother appeared before Com
missioner John K. Brown in juvenile
court last Friday afternoon. The com
plaint in the case had been made by
Chief of Police Frank Wiseman, who
alleged that without care and school
ing the future welfare of the child
would be impaired were she not sent
I out to school. The place where the
child is going is in no sense a prison,
the authorities have ascertained. The
•hildren sent to the institution pre
ell schooled and otherwise well cared
for. The mother made objections to
the sending of her child outside. The
little one, however, seemed greatly
pleased at the prospect, stating in no
uncertain words her desire to go. She
appeared in court dressed In overalls,
but when she departed on the Alaska
| she was neatly garbed.
During the last year the Fairbanks
merchants lost nearly $5,000 on pota
toes imported from the states, accord
ing to one of the largest dealers in
the town, and the News-Miner says
that the result is that no more ptta
toes will be brought from the states.
Several years ago it was a matter of
pride for the people of Fairbanks to
boast that the farmers could raise al
most all the potatoes needed- here,
while today it is an actual fact that
outside farmers cannot compete with
local growers of spuds. l.ast year
there was an excellent crop of first
class potatoes, and this season the
farmers report that the spuds will be
just as good. There is a greater acre
age of potatoes this year than ever
before but the crop will be taken care
of because of the fact that none will
be brought in from the states. Inte
rior Alaska farmers now raise all the
cabbage, carrots. potatoes, celery,
turnips, parsnips, cauliflower, beets
and some other vegetables that are
used in the interior. The amount of
other vegetables grown in the interior
is increasing yearly, and it will he but
a short time until practically no vege
tables of any kind are brought in from
the states.
