SEEDS FOR THE SETTLERS.
'Pile Times is officially advised that M. D. Snodgrass, rep
resentative of the agricultural experiment stations in Alaska,
stationed at Kodiak, will send seeds to the settlers in the Mat
annska valley and the Cook inlet country generally, if they will
, advise him, by letter, as to what kind of seeds they desii'e.
These seeds are the best obtainable for use in Alaska, in that
iliey are acclimated. Experience has taught that the best re
I suits cannot be achieved by the employment of seeds from
semi-tropical regions like California, and hence the settlers will
find it to their distinct advantage to use the seeds that will be
gladly forwarded to them, by the first steamer in the spring, by
Mr. Snodgrass.
The agricultural experiment stations, under the general di
rection of Prof. C. C. Georgeson, have been doing a good work
in aiding the settlers in the territory, in making practical tests
as to the herb ami root crops tljat are best adapted to the soil
and to the climatic conditions. The settlers in the west had no
such governmental assistance. They had to gain their know
ledge by their own experience, and valuable time was lost in
the experimentation. In Alaska, the government is taking the.
initiative in determining the products of the soil host adapted
to the country. It will "be to the advantage of the settlers to
use the seeds that may be had for the asking. Just drop a line
to Mr. M. D. Snodgrass, at Kodiak, Alaska, telling him your
wants, and the seeds will reach you in time for the planting
season.
And while we are on the subject of farmers, it might be
well for some of our settlers to earn a premium price by raising
a quantity of large, mealy potatoes for the Northern Pacific
Railway company.
A NEW ALASKA.
(Diilutli Herald)
Hidden away in the more intensely interesting news dis
patches telling of the results of the election there was a brief
story from Alaska that is strikingly significant of what may
he expected in that country.
Briefly, the story was to the effect that several hundred
homesteaders have arrived and settled in the section of the
country through which the United States government is build
ing its railroad; that these settlers are prospering, and that in
dications favor a rapid increase of this class of newcomers.
Think of that! Homesteaders going to Alaska instead of
gold-hunters. Tt opens an entirely new conception of that coun
try. Tt means that instead of stripping an unwilling land of its
sole wealth and then abandoning it, men are finding that there
is a continuous wealth in the agricultural possibilities of the
country, and are going there to cultivate it and make it con
tinuously richer and more prosperous. It gives a notion of a
new Alaska of vastly different style from that of former days.
Perhaps, too, there is another significance in this move
ment. Perhaps it is an indication that men are not today as
insanely anxious for sudden wealth as they were in the ’4-f) and
Yukon days, but are better satisfied to be industrious and pros
perous with certainty, without taking the risks of undergoing
the hardships of the usually disappointed gold hunter. Per
haps.
Today, February 14, is Valentine’s Day, saered to the mem
ory of St. Valentine. A custom, handed down from past ages,
suggests that on this day missives of love and affection he pass
ed between loved ones. In this material age, however, we se'em
10 regard lightly the customs of our forbears, and this day has
lost much of its enchantment because of our indifferent atti
tude with respect thereto. We now send any old thing to our
friends and our enemies, from the sublime to the ridiculous, in
the art monstrosities called comic valentines. It was a very
old notion, alluded to by Shakespeare, that on this day birds
began to couple.

BLAME THE WAR—And Not Your Druggist.
| l ou are apt to Diame your druggist
' because he charges you more than he
|
i did a year ago. Maybe you can’t
understand why you only get half as
1 many puinine tjppsulps for a dime, or
wny you nave to pay almost flouDie
for the same size bottle of Castor Oil.
It would MEAN MORE BUSINESS
FOR YOUR DRUGGIST IF HE
COULD SELL AT THE SAME OLD
PRICES, BUT HE CANNOT.
BECAUSE OF BLOCKADES AND EMBARGOES, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR
HIM TO SELL AT THE OLD PRICES.
The European war has practically cut off all importations of drugs from for
eign markets. Men formerly given steady employment in the great German
chemical factories are now in the trenches.
I WHERE FOREIGNERS FORMERLY SOLD TO US, NOW THEY BUY
j from us. Nations which once SOLD drugs to this country are now buying
here—thus not only cutting off our largest source of supply, but demanding
that we supply them with their needs.
YOUR DRUGGIST ISN’T A ROBBER, HE IS YOUR FRIEND AND NEIGH
, bor. He is interested in his community—in YOU. He tries to serve your best
i interests. When he charges you more for his goods it is because they arc
I costing him more—many times more. Everything he buys costs him from
■ fifty per cent to FIVE THOUSAND per cent more than it did a year ago;
even his freight has advanced materially.
THE REAL SITUATION
Glance over the table which follows ing. Think of the thousands of items
he must carry in stock—MANY OF
and see for yourself under what great THE^j SL0W M0VING AND rR0F.
burdens your retail druggist is labor- ITLESS AT BEST.

The regular weekly meeting o' the
Sourdough club, held at Roberts’ hall
last night, was the best attended yet
and showed a growing public interest
in the organization. As usual, enter
tainment was the feature of the meet
ing, the evening’s amusement being
ended with a dance. A. G. Thompson
was chosen temporary chairman. The
subject of debate was represented by1
Dr. J. T. Westermann and J. R. Mac
Kay on the affirmative and J. F. Cof
fey and J. C. Murphy on the negative,
and although the question would prob
ably appear as a one-sided one to the
average person, the subject was well
handled and for at least an hour the
time was fully occupied in a discus
sion of the advisability of prepared
ness. The debate and discussion was
followed by Matt Button, the critic of
the evening, who unmercifully but in
a friendly spirit, criticized each of the
speakers, to the great amusement of
the audience. Most of the members
remained for the social dance that was
greatly enjoyed, as were the refresh
ments served during the evening.
