EXPERIMENTAL
EARM STARTED
That the Matanuska section is to
become one of the greatest farming
sections of Alaska, is the assertion
of Dr. C. C. Georgeson, head of the
Alaska Experimental Hureau.
“There are hundreds and hundreds
of homesteaders in the valley and all
of the available surveyed land has
been taken up,” Dr. Georgeson said.
“The great drawback is the lack of
roads. The land is rolling and the
soil is as good on top of the hills as
in the valleys, but the farmers are
forced at the present time to build
their own roads ami that is so ex
pensive that it is prohibitive.
“That valley will make a wonder
ful community, but it will bo absolute
ly necessary for the farmers to have
roadways before they can develop the
country.”
The experimental farm is located on
a tract of 880 acres near Matanuska
Junction and .”8 miles from Anchor
age. Dr. Georgeson arranged for the
necessary lumber for the erection of
buildings and for the clearing of the
land.
“The land is heavily timbered and
the soil is a silt loam which is very
rich,” continued Dr. Georgeson.

PROGRESS ON
MATANUSKA
Two contracting lirms finished their
grading units during the period: Ha
rich & Co. and Pappadis & Co. Two
other contractors will complete their
sections within a week ending June
16th.
KarginolT & Co and Lanoflf & Co.,
grading contractors, have established
camps on their work, between Camp
187 and Camp 195 . Eli Barich & Co.,
who recently completed a contract on
the Manatuska Branch, have been
awarded a contract for grading be
tween the Kashwitna and Sheep
Creek. The balance of the work
north of the Kashwitna will be cov
ered by stationmen within ten days,
since it is now possible to land supplies
by boat at Camp 201.
Piledriver crew Xo. 1 was engaged
in driving the last structure on Resi
dency No. 9 at the close of the week.
After this work has been completed
the crew will move ahead to the struc
ture at Station X-6624.
Piledriver crew No. 2 will be estab
lished at Sheep Creek immediately
upon its arrival by boat from Anchor
age.
High water in the Matanuska River
washed out a part of the wagon road
just north of King during the week,
making the hauling of freight imprac
ticable. A force of laborers was im
mediately set to work repairing the
damage.

COMMISSION BOATS
HAVE BEST LUCK
Commission boats on the Susitna
river have handled most of the sup
plies to Talkeetna this spring, accord
ing to Walter DeLong, general store
keeper. Independent boats have met
with all kinds of reverses in their at
tempts to navigate the river this
spring, and Talkeetna has received as
its total freight offering from inde
pendent boats one box of oranges.
The B. & B. boats No. 1 and 3,
which are handling the traffic from
Kroto to points beyond, are doing ex
cellent work carrying not only Com
mission, but privately-owned freight.
On a recent trip of the No. 3, it car
ried 48 tons of freight and 25 passen
gers and their baggage to Indian river
and then went live miles further pros
pecting.

How Easy It Bends—
—that sole of ‘ ‘ H ipress* ’ — the won
derful rubber footwear that’s
molded in one solid piece.
‘Ilipress” is made by the new
High Pressure Process — a Good
rich invention and the greatest im
provement of footwear making of
the century.
This process leaves the rubber in
the finished boot springy—live —
flexible. The sole bends freely and
comfortably with your foot. Yet
this rubber is so everlastingly tough
that it Actually Outwears Steel 1
That means no more half-soles
and hobnails—no more repair bills!
He sure to get the genuine. Look
for the “Red Line ’Round the Top.”
“Ilipress” is made only by
