REQUEST DATA
ON AGRICULTURE
"
The Land and Industrial Depart
! ment authorizes the following:
Recently letters were mailed by this
Department to .‘199 homesteaders liv-1
ing along the line of the Governmnet
railroad requesting them to furnish
an estimate, on a form which was en-:
closed, of their crop production for!
this season. Letters were also sent
to 141 merchants, mine owners and
others of this section asking for an
estimate of the quantity of agricul
ural products needed by them to sup
ply their wants during the current
ycar- j
The purpose of this information is
to place the Department in position
to furnish reliable data to both the:
producer and the consumer, and in
this manner establish practical co-op
eration of value to them both. It will
also enable the Department to compile
a trustworthy statistical statement as
to the comparativevagricultural out-j
put and demand this season with that
of last year.
It is urged that the recipients of
these letters furnish the data at the
earliest possible date.

MILL STRIKE
EFFECTS R. R.
Continuation of the strike in lum
ber mills at Puget Sound may pre
vent the Alaskan Engineering commis
sion from securing over 3,000,000 feet
of lumber included in unfilled orders
already contracted, according to ad
vices received by Walter De Long,
storekeeper on the Central division.
I)e Long, who returned west Thurs
day night, stated that the mill own
ers are up against a hard proposition
and have suggested to the purchasing
agent at Seattle that a new call for
bids be issued for lumber included in
the unfilled contracts, giving the mill
owners a chance to bid under new con
ditions.
The only shipment affected on this
end is one for 300,000 feet of snowshed
timbers, but the threatened shortage
on the Central division is equally se
rious, as some of the lumber ordered
is for Turnagain Arm work.

Plans for unloading the big spread-1
er brought here from Anchorage, in-!
dude beaching the barge at high tide,
and the construction of a temporary
spur track on bridging by which it
may be hauled ashore.
An attempt was made last evening
to lift the big piece of machinery
ashore with the Browning crane but
its bulk, combined with fifteen tons
deadweight, made it a little too much
of a load.

BARRACOUTA ANCHORED
AT HEAD OF THE BAY
The barge Barracouta has apparent
ly become a fixture as no orders for
her to proceed south have been re
ceived as to future trips.
Owing to the trouble big vessels
had in landing at the dock while the
Barracouta was alongside, the hulk
was towed to the head of the bay
this morning and anchored off the San
Juan dock.

Nineteen traps were washed away
in the Seldovia and Cook Inlet dis
trict in recent storms, entailing a tre
mendous loss on cannerymen of the
district. Storms have been unusually
severe in the Cook Inlet region this
season and fishermen have been un
able to do much with their traps.

ported that a very few of the house
