AGRICliLTLUt IN ALASKA
Gov. Brady Tells What Has Been
Demonstrated by Trial
That agriculture can be successfully
prosecuted lias been nearly demon
strated. >V-<‘>7 worth of agricultural
i implements have been shipped into
Alaska during the last fiscal year.
Wheat, barley, oats, potatoes and hay
have been harvested; strawberries.
‘ cauliflower, and other plants have been
cultivated. There- are four agricult
ural experiment stations in tin- dis
trict: one at Sitka, given largely to the
I cultivation of nursery plants and their
| distribution; one at Kenai, on Cook In
let, testing the native and imported
grasses and dairy work, and one each
at Copper Center and at Rampart, on
the Yukon river, where grains are
tested. Dairy ing promises to he one
of the chief industries, owing to the
enormous wealth of grasses in south
eastern Alaska. Milch cows have long
kept at most of the coast settlements,
and they do very well while feeding on
the green grasses. Many admirable
sites for dairying colonies or settle
ments may be had on Kodiak island, or
other islands on the mainland. The
Finnish colony on the Kenai peninsula
will engage itself in this industry.

VALENCIA SURVIVORS
(Continued from page one)
break up lmt it is scarcely thought that
they were able to do so as a trcinen
i ddlis gale was blowing against them all
1 the way. This morning the steamer
i City of Topeka also went to the loca
j tion of the disaster.
Survivors Tel! Talc of Wreck
Seattle, .hut. 2d Steamer City wi
Topeka is due here at noon with
twenty-three of the survivors of the
Valencia shipwreck. Harrowing ae
j counts continue to come in of scenes
i on the doomed vessel during the hours
she kept afloat with scores of men,
women and children aboard, utterly
I unable to escape from her. The dis
aster was t he worst shipwreck in the
| history of the Pacific coast.
Capt. O. M. Johnson went down with
his ship. When the last life raft put
I off he was clinging to the rigging to
give orders, and as the raft was de
parting he shouted to the men in it,
“My God! Tell them to send help for
the passengers'”
Many passengers, hurled into the
water from the small boats, tried to
swim ashore but were dashed lifeless
against the rocks in sight of those on
hoard.
John Cigolas, a fireman, volunteered
to take a line ashore, and with the rope
around his body lie leaped into the
boiling ocean but was thrown about on
tiie breakers until he became uncon
scious and was pulled back on board.
He was one of those saved on the last
raft.
Chief Engineer Downing with gun
in hand declared he would kill himself
when all hope was gone.
Steamer Shamrock picked up Chief
Cook Hancock, Fireman Mana Stanis
lar, and Fireman George Long from
Tarret island, where they had been
found by Indians, half-starved and
nearly dead from exposure to the cold.
The Valencia was one of the oldest
and fastest steamships on the Pacific
coast. Seward people will remember
that she came here in August bringing
450 laborers from San Francisco for
the Alaska Central. Afterward she
made a run to Nome.
'The City of Puebla, the PacificCoasi
Steamship Company's boat whose run
the Valencia was taking, was disabled
otV the mouth of the Columbia river
this month and was towed with great
dilliculty#to San Francisco, bong out
in a fierce gale which prevailed all
along the coast and wrecked several
boats.
The Valencia was owned by the
Pari tic Coast Steamship Company and
had been plying on the coast for many
years. For some time after the Span
ish-American war she was a govern
ment transport from San Francisco to
Manila. Since then she has had differ
ent runs on the coast, usually plying
between Seattle and Nome in summer.
The past season she has been running
wherever an extra steamer was needed.
SHOT IN PLATOONS
St. Petersburg, Jan. 22 - It is believ
ed^that laborers employed upon gov
ernment works received brief trials by
court martial upon charges of nfutiny
and being speedily condemned were
led out and shot in three squads, the
tirst before the eyes of their compan
ions who were awaiting a similar fate.
The firing in the yard was heard plain
ly outside.
It is constantly reported that girls
are frequently beaten for trivial ofTens
es, and that the rule in the govern
ment works is despotic and cruel in the
extreme. **
The revolutionists and peasantry
yesterday held meetings in commemor
ation of ‘‘Red Sunday” a year ago
when thousands of people were shot
down in the streets by troops. The
streets were crowded but no disorders
occurerd and the government took no
action. The meetings took place in
the early morning.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 26—Rebellion
is still brewing in the Baltic provinces.
The people are reported to be sullen
and it is declared that the revolution
has progressed too far for pacification.
Only the sternest repression is deemed
to be sufficient to quell the spirit of
rebellion. Troops are being rushed to
Riga, Mitau and Rithuan from thq ad
joining regions of the frontier.
