RUSSIA IS READY
«
. ST. PETERSBURG, May 14.—Dip
lomatic circle* are considerably ex
ercised over a new order jufct Issued
by the council of ministers, which,
authorizes the war minister to lay
an embargo on any vessel or vessels
of the Russian mercantile marine
needed for transportation of war
stores and troops fourteen days be
fore formal mobilization orders are
issued.
The order provides that on the' im
position of the embargo no member
of the crew of the vessel affected may
leave the ship, and the clerical staff
in the shipowner’s office must also
remain at their posts, all being plac
ed under military law. It is pointed
out that under the new law Russia
could secretly hate everything ready
for war a fortnight before a gen
eral mobilisation order was issued.

TO RAISE FRUIT
ALASKAN COAST
/
Farmer* Have Already Solved the Ber
ry and Vegetable Question and
Are Now After Fruit.
A good many fruit trees are being
set out this spring in the gardens in
Southeastern Alaska, says the Juneau
Dispatch. Some grades of fruit have
already been successfully raised in a
small way, mostly in the line of ex
periments, but the gardeners are now
going into the business for profit.
"Farmers” in Alaska—by this is
meant those who started little gar
den patches and through experiments
and practical demonstration evoluted
into larger tracts—have already solv
ed the raising of many varieties of
vegetables and berries for the market.
Chas. Anway, near Haines, last year
sold 6,000 quarts of strawberries for
approximately $1,200. Many other
farmers around Haines, Skagway,
Juneau, Sitka and other places dis
posed of quantities of berries and
vegetables.
In fact, many varieties of wild ber
ries grow throughout Southeastern
Alaska, a wider number, in fact, than
is found in the interior, although wild
berries of certain kinds grow all ov
er Alaska.
I here are many small garden spots
throughout Southeastern Alaska that
will some day be utilized by farm- |
ers. Thus far farming is carried on
only near the commercial centers.
One may go a few miles from most
of the cities and be plunged into
comparative primitive wilderness and
where wild game abounds.
There are many pretty valleys nest
ling in the hills not eve ndiscovered.
People should not forget that while
Southeastern Alaska is but a small
part of the territory of Alaska, it is
still some chunk, as large as some
of the average states. As mining is
carried farther into the hills and re
mote sections farmers will follow.
Owing to the market offered, there
is not a better portion of Alaska to
day for farming for profit where the
locator can secure the necessary plot
of ground. At the present time, Alas
ka farmers are selling some produce
in Seattle. '
