As a prognosticator Chief Nocholi
is there and should be on the govern
ment payroll. His prophecy of the
Chinook Sunday came true as did his
forecast of milder weather with the
new moon. The Chief has given out,
however, that it may snow again be
fore spring.

Colorado has her Rocky Ford canta
loupes, California her oranges, New
York her Wall street and Kansas her
anomalies; all of which are just a
little bit better than their sister states
j can produce, but leave it to Alaska to
top the market when it comes to tur
nips and rutabagas. The following
I clipping taken from the stock report
i of a recent Seattle newspaper clipping
bears out the above statement;
“Matanuska turnips and rutabagas
are among the very best sellers of the
day, with prices 50c over Yakimas and
all competitors. The quality of this
stock exceeds anything ever before
seen on the Seattle market.”
Next year the Matanuska farmer
will be able to add potatoes to the
list of “best sellers” but this year’s
crop was contracted for by the Alas
kan Engineering Commission and lo
cal business houses for home con
sumption. Nor were the farmers able
to supply the urgent demand that
came from Seward and adjoining
1 small towns for the famous Matanus
ka potato.
However, the valley farmers have
been busy all winter clearing off more
land and the potato acreage wall be
materially increased and it is highly
probable that the Matanuska farmer
will be able to supply both the local
demand and Seward with their next
winter’s potatoes.
“While there is no question but that
:he potato is king of the valley crop,”
said Frank Hoffman yesterday, “1
have heard many of the farmers in the
valley express themselves in regard
to a diversity of crops and this next
season will see many experiments
tried. The results of Superintendent
| Snodgrass’ experiments last season
I were very satisfactory .especially as
S fo small grain. Several species of rye
j proved adaptable to the valley soil
| and a large acreage of rye will be
1 sown this spring, in addition to the
usual acreage of wheat and oats.”
Mr, Hoffman expects to return to
Matanuska in an official capacity the
latter part of this month and ig seri
ously thinking of taking advantage of
his prerogative rights and file on a
homestead. “For myself,’* said JVIr.
Hoffman, continuing, “If I do decide
to take up farming as a side issue I
shill certainly take advantage of the
Seattle markets and the prolific yield
[ and plant turnips and rutabagas.”

j MOHAWK OFFICIALS
HEAR FROM MINE
The officials of the Mohawk Mining
i company have just received word
from John Aho, who has the contract
for doing the tunnel work for them
that he has driven 50 feet since re
turning to the mine Dec. 10th, making
in all a little more than 150 feet.
Mr. Aho says the ore body is hold
! ing steady between three and four
j feet and that the samples he sent
down were good average samples tak
■ en in each case across the ledge from
the hanging to the foot fall. These
samples were run by C. H. Holmes
i and show an average value of better
than .$4.'1.00 per ton. This particular
ore body has been drifted on now for
nearly 100 feet, which means a large
amount of high-grade milling ore has
been developed.
E. R. Davidson, president and man
i ager of the Mohawk company, expects
to let the contract this week for the
| placing of the mine and mill timber
on the grouml this winter and says
the machinery for the 40-ton mill will
be shipped on the first boat leaving
for Anchorage in the spring.
Alaska Company Expanding.
(Railway and Marine News.)
At a special meeting of the stock
holders of the Alaska Steamship Co.,
held in the office of the Vice-President
R. W. Baxter, Nov. 15, the capital
stock of the company was increased
from So,000,000 to $4,500,000. This
action will be followed by a distribu
tion of a stock dividend of 50 per cent
among the former holders of stock in
the company. The increase in the cap-'
ital stock was caused by the very great
increase in value and tonnage of its
fleet and the ever present possibility
of still further and more important in
creases and expansion brought about
by the unusual encouraging traffic in
crease in Alaska, brought about by
the tremendous copper output, new
salmon canneries and general indus
trial revival.
