Change in Primary
To
Attention Public
At the last session of the A1
aska legislature an amend
ment to the primary laws of
the Territory was passed
which should be kept in mind
by persons intending to file
declarations of candidacy for
office.
Ihe change in the law con
cerns qualifications of candi
dates and no declaration can
be received unless the candi
date, if he voted in the 1932
and 1934 primaries, shows
that he voted at the schedul
ed primaries for the political
party in which he is now fil
ing his declaration.
In other words, a candidate
cannot file as a Democrat for
the 1936 elections unless he
voted as a Democrat in 1932
and 1934.

Ethiopia Seen As
Fertile Garden
For Agriculture
By Charles Norman
Associated Press Staff Writer
The shadow of Italy’s Afri
can legions lies across “the
finest piece of unappropriat
ed real estate on the interna
tional horizon.”
That is the destination giv
en Abyssinia, the largest and
most fertile portion of Eth
iopia, by Wilfred H. Osgood,
curator of zoology, Field Mus
eum, Chicago.
It is a country that abounds
in livestock, estimated to num
ber millions; cattle, sheep,
goats and poultry are plenti
ful. It is capable of being con
verted into one vast granary
said another observer.
I he entire surface of Aby
ssinia shows traces of past vol
canic upheavals. Now most of
the crater shells are filled
with the water of the coun
try’s extensive lake system.
Much Gold and Silver
Iron and coal are found ev
erywhere. Gold is washed
from the sand of mountain
streams. Godjam is rich in
silver, saltpeter, sulphur and
copper deposts. Rock and cof
fee are important crops. Med
icinal springs abound.
Abyssinia proper is a farm
er’s paradise.
Perpetual spring weather
reigns in many localities, and
in these crops are numerous
and abundant. Every agricul
tural product can be raised
with ease with the assistance
of a bountiful nature, and
two and three crops of wheat
barley and maize often are
harvested in a year.
Only one species of live
stock is conspicuously among
the missing. The Ethiopians,
Cptic Christians since about
300 years after the death of
Christ, do not eat pork.
They like hot, peppery dish
es and raw meat, which is
considered a delicacy.

Terrain Rough
Between Eritrea and Ital
ian Somaliland and the Eth
iopian highlands lie vast, wat
erless plateaus covered with
grass and scrub growths—an
uninviting watseland through
which invading armies have
to pass.
The mountainous terrain of
the interior represents seem
ingly insurmountable obstac
les, and there are few cities
which offer real targets for
artillery or air raids. Addis
Ababa, the capital; Harrar,
center of Emperor Haile Sel
assie’s own province, and
Dire-Dawa are the only cit
ies of any considerable size.
The rough regions that make
Abyssinia proper a turreted
castle of a country offer slight
opportunities for landing air
planes, or for their take-off.
