changed but liittle from its original
state, even at depths of two feet or
more, where, obviously, the vegetable
matter has lain for a very long time.
There are also many moss covered
areas where the subsoil is permanent
ly frozen. With the removal of all
this luxuriant vegitation and the
opening up of the soil by plowing,
process of improvement immediately
starts up, evidently connected with
aeration, which are conducive to a
change equivalent to a sanitation of
the soils, or at least to changes favor
able to plant development. This im
provement is hastened by application
of wood ashes. In general, the soils,
■which have never been touched since
creation, are ready to respond to the;
efforts of the settler.
“Matanuska Valley and the region
tributary to the government railway
are the best for settlement by reason
of the improved transportation facil
ities. In fact, there are a number of
homesteaders already in the region. I5
talked with same of them and receiv
ed most encouraging information.
SETTLERS DOING WELL
“One of the settlers came, a fewj
years ago, into this reign with but!
$35 in his pocket. Now he has scores
of acres of cultivated land, all kinds
of modern farming machinery, live
stock and several buildings. I took
a number of pictures of another far
mer near Matanuska "who had arrived
and settled on the land 14 years ago.
Then he lived in a small log cabin
about 10 x 10 in size; he cultivated
but a few beds of strawberries which
he carried on his back from the rail
road station. Some years later he
was able to build a larger cabin, and
now he owns a large residence which
would be a credit to any settlement;
has a hundred acres of cultivated
land, machinery, live stock, etc.
BACHELOR FARMERS
“This is the first time in my life
that I have seen single farmers. In
fact,almost all the farmers hei'e are
bachelors. But if a single farmer can
attain such wonderful results, what
great progress shall we witness then!
when these pioneers of Alaska re
ceive a helping hand from women im
bued with similar pioneering instincts.
As I have already noticed, th,e region;
along the government railroad affords:
the best transportation facilities. The
