THE NEW YEAR.
We cross the threshold of another year,
We know not what it holds in store.
Behind we letave our record, dull or clear,
Hoping for good not met before.
If disappointment’s cross has pressed us sore,
If sorrows weighed us down to earth,
’Tis best forgot, remember these no more,
Much yet remains of better worth.
Alluring are the new unbeaten ways,
We long to older ones discard.
But ’tis to sorrow often he who stays
Too close to highways that retard.
The soul of each should each man lead aright,
And so will gladly if allowed.
Let none seek guidance from his neighbor’s light,
Or think to hear soul voice in the crowd.
In mountain pastures or in forest wild,
The voice of Nature’s God is heard
In sweet advices waiting for earth’s child,
In blossoms, brooks, and leaf that’s stirred.
Guardian spirits will bring us delight,
That Old Years have never yet known.
Much happiness, Heaven sent, the angels write
To earth’s children when all their own.
Mistakes of the New Year then will be few,
Behind will be left the heartache,
Like blushing wild roses under the dew,
Life’s comforts are ours but to take.
Then welcome the New Year, good-bye to Old,
His joys are our portion indeed,
With garlands of blossoms all our arms hold,
And with fruitage just as we need.
—MAY L. KELLOGG, Anchorage, Alaska, Jan. 1, 1917.
BULL PLAYERS’
SHE IS A
LAST RESORT
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Talk of a
baseball players’ strike in the event
that certain things are not done is
rampant in the heads of many base
ball followers today. David L. Fultz’
demands on behalf of the fraternity;
Ban Johnson’s declaration of war, and
his suggestion that salaries be made
lower, have made an ideal setting for
such chatter.
However, it would be the best bet in
the world, in the opinion of more than
one baseball magnate, that the base
ball players do not strike. Further
more, there are a great many close
students of the game who predict the
expected showdown will be a tame af
fair.
"Such rumors are bound to have
some foundation. In fact, it has been
stated oy Fultz that he would go to
such limits if necessary to carry out
some of his most cherished plans. But
there is no likelihood of such a thing
taking place. The magnates simply
would not permit it and the baseball
players would not carry it that far.
It’s a fair-sized blutl' on each side,
with the odds in favor of victory for
neither.
To close the gates of the baseball
parks, as has been threatened by sev
eral of our leading baseball moguls,
would mean financial annihilation for
some of them. Of course, there will
be the argument that organized base
ball would stand stanchly by the short
fellows. But when the recent tiff with
the Federal league is considered if
doesn’t seem quite possible that the
magnates would enjoy flinging out a
few more coins to join the ghosts of
those who walked the plank during
the troublous reign of James Gil
more.
And it would be the funniest thing
in the world to see the star ball play
er trying to earn money doing some
thing else. They would soon be ready
to capitulate and capitulation would
come after the game had been dealt
the most severe blow in history.
Baseball players and magnates alike
seem to be doing all in their power to
sour the public on a game that has
grown fat on the tolerance of this
same public. The more mercenary
jolts the better apparently has come to
be a popular slogan. Nothing would
come nearer dealing the final smash
to the old pastime than a strike of
baseball players.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Alaskan
crops in 1915 were grown under the
most favorable season for years, ac
cording to the annual report of the
four Alaskan agricultural experiment
stations just published by the depart
ment of agriculture. Grain ripened
and matured early and vegetables
and berries produced abundant crops.
Excellent results were reported in
the development of a hybrid straw
berry combining the hardy character
istics of the native stock and the qual
ity of fruit of sorts cultivaated in the
states. Most of the hybrids were de
veloped at the Sitka station in south
eastern Alaska where agricultural ex
perts predict a still better berry be
fore long. Certain varieties of ap
ples have been grown in the coast
country and what is believed to be
the first apple blossom in central
Alaska is reported from Rampart sta
tion 75 miles south of the Arctic
circle.
Many new and early varieties of
grain have been produced in Alaska.
Work has been continued in breeding
strains of alfalfa better adapted to
Alaskan conditions.
Sheep the reports declare, will do
well on Kodiak island and the coast
region. In normal winters the ani
mals could maintain themselves with
little feed, it is declared. For the de
velopment of a satisfactory beef an
imal it is recommended that yaks be
importaed from Asia for crossing
with hardy cattle. Horse breeding al
so is recommended for Alaska.
