STOCK RAISING ON YUKON
Missionary at Anvik Tells of Profita
ble Cow Culture There
Successful experiments with live
stock culture on the Yukon are de
scribed in a letter which Dr. Gibbons
has received from Rev. J. \V. Chap
man. missionary for nearly ten years
;tt Anvik. on the Yukon, in latitude
t>2 degrees, 40 minutes. In part Mr.
Chapman says:
•*\Ve have often speculated upon
your fortunes and are glad you are so
well pleased with Seward after your
journey of 5000 miles to get 500 miles j
from your starting point. What you
say about the railroad from Seward is
the most definite news we have heard
vet, and very interesting to us folks
who have to wait too long for our win-!
ter mails. There is more in Alaska I
than most people think. Since before !
the Klondike strike I have noticed a |
steady expansion of traffic. No matter i
what the reports of new diggings
might be. development has only begun.
“This neighborhood has nothing in
particular to attract settlers, yet there
are now enough steady white inhabi
tants to make a little set of them
, selves. They are people of energy
and well adapted to work together.!
What can they do? Well, new strikes '
are reported all the time and old dig- j
| gings are constantly me reusing their J
output. Beef, butter, wieese, poultry, j
rggs, salt and smoked .fish and perhaps j
buy are going to be very much in de- ’
mand. Alaska can furnish a good pro-'
portion of its food: Cattle keeping L !
no longer an experiment. Chickens,
! are on the same basis. We kaep a)
, cow and know the possibilities. Four
tons of hay will winter a cow. My |
fhay costs less than $9 a ton and we'
have already had 1750 quarts of milk j
and are still getting 5$ quarts daily, j
At 10 cents a quart this would amount
to $175. Enough to pay for the cow,
transportation and food for a year.
We fed her liberally on grain, but
that gave out a month ago and all she
gets now is native hay and a little
bran. As her yield has not fallen off,
j 1 conclude that native hay, with tur
nips, etc., will do, without the im
portation of grain. This is important
to settlers.
“I believe that beef can be raised
for 10 cents a pound or less. Our
stock came through an unusually se
; vere winter in capital shape without
artificial heat in the stable or even
i blankets. 1 understand that your
neighborhood is much better adapted
to cattle raising than ours. When
these things come to be better known,
people will be more willing to look
upon Alaska as a place of permanent
residence. The agricultural possibili
tie> of this section have been suffi
ciently demonstrated, notably by the
missions of Holy Cross.”
Alaska has at least fifty million
acres of land good for grazing and cul
tivation. Grain ripens in similar lat
titudes in Europe. When stock has
been a year in the northland, the hair
; thickens and becomes furry.—C. H. G.

GRAND DUKE TO BE
MILITARY DICTATOR
(Continued from page 1)
spiracy to overthrow the czar and the
present autocratic government. It
had been planned by the revolution
ary leaders to simultaneously capture
Russia's three sea fortresses—Cron -
stadt, Sevastopol and Sveaborg. The
revolt was prematurely sprung at
Sveaborg because of the killing of
soldiers by an officer for misconduct.
The first outbreak occurred Monday,
and continued until the loyalists were
finally defeated. The revolutionists
have destroyed railroad communica
tion to prevent the arrival of fresh
loyal troops. The telegraph wires
have been cut, and news from the
fort ress is difficult to obtain.
Yesterday a tleetof loyal torpedo boats
tried to run under the fortress to blow
up the rebels. A withering fire from
the fortress sank two and damaged
several more of the boats and further
attempt to storm the fort was aban
doned. _
(iovernment Panic Stricken
St. Petersburg, August 1—The gov
ernment is panic stricken over the re- J
volt at Sveaborg. The uprising was
entirely unsuspected by the authori
ties until it occurred. This morning
the revolutionists, workmen and so
cialists of Helsingfors, Finland, de
clared a general strike. It is reported
here that the population of the coun
try is responding in large numbers to
the call to arms issued by the revolu
tionists. Outbreaks from other fort
resses are daily expected. It is be
lieved that a revolution is at hand
which will repeat the frightful scenes
of carnage and internecine strife wit
nessed in the French revolution.
White Flag Out
Helsingors, Aug. 2—A white Hag is
Hying from the fortress but it is not
known whether it was hung out by
the mutineers or the imperial forces.
A loyal battleship has been bombard
ing the fortress and the walls are bad
ly damaged. This morning a heavy
explosion inside occurred. It is be
lieved it was the magazine containing
the supply of ammunition of the mu
tineers. The postmaster of the fort
ress arrived here this morning and
stated that the entire force of muti
neers had surrendered. The state
ment is not contirmed from any other
source.
Four warships in the hands of mu
tineers are reported to be heading for
Cronstadt. The socialists today issued
an ultimatum that all workingmen In
the city must join in the strike or the
city would be bombarded from the
fortress. It is reported that the mu
tineers are nearly out of food supplies
and are unable tot replenish them.
— -——
Baltic flutiny Imminent
St. Petersburg, Aug. 2—The govern
ment is warned to prepare to meet
mutiny in the entite Baltic region.
The war office is now in communica
tion with Helsinerfors, connection hav
ing been re-established last night. It
is advised of the arrival otT Sveaborg
of a loyal warship commanded by Ad
miral Birilew.J The guns of Cronstadt
fortress are trained today on the im
perial palace at Peterhof to sweep the
streets around it in case of an attack
by revolutionists. Troops are being
rushed to Helsingfors but revolution
ists in this city say that in the final
test the government will find the |
soldiers will break from their officers
and join the mutineers when the
movement is least expected.
Expect to Strike
Moscow, Aug. 2 -The workingmen's
council issues orders to them to hold
themselves in readiness for a general j
strike at a moment's notice.
