A XKW AUHlCTLTl'liAL MILK*
SIONK.
The shipment of 1U0 sacks of Al
aska grow u rutabagas from Hulaes
to Seattle markets marks another
milestone In the development of Al
aaktt agriculture. While the capa
bilities of Alaska soil ami climate
in the production of foodstuffs have
been demonstrated beyond the polut
of experiment, the most optimistic
have looked upou agricultural pur
suits iu Alaska as secondary aud
complementary to the mining aud
fishing industries. It has been accept
i-d as a matter of course that for
many years to come farmers of the
North must look wholly to local de
mands for markets. However, here
we have a practical demonstration
that -?>ue farmer at least has found
It profitable to produce {or the
markets of the States.
It is an old rule that what has
been done can be done again, and
before we know it others wilt be
shipping the products of Alaska sol
to the big coast cities iu exchange
lor cosh with which to make the
wheels of industry go round in this
country. With the coming of popu
la t Ion aud the application of labor
and capital, there will be no end to
the possibilities of Alaska develop
ment. ? Juneau Kmplre.
Wo must take exception to the
statement that Haines enjoys the
distinction of being the first com
munity to ship agricultural prod
ucts to the Slates, for to Skagway
belongs the honor.
I.lttle credit is claimed bv the
H. D. Clark ranch for a shipment of
six bushels of seed potatoes to
California early this spring, and no
great fuss was made when the same
ranch booked an order for one-half
ton of tubers to be shipped early
lit 1914 for seed to the same lo
cality. Three years lit succession
peed potatoes have been sent Into
the Yakima valley, this year's ship
ment being for one and one-half
tons, and when planted alongside of
the Washington product, produced a
much stronger and crisper potato
than th? western state's seed pro
duct.
For many years celery, cabbage,
cauliflower, rhubarb, green peas
and tomatoes have beeu shipped
In quantity to Whitehorsc
and Dawson, in the Yukon,
while a number of the stores of
'uneau have handled the Skagway
ranch products exclusively. This
year, taking advantage of the thru
steamsi.ip service afforded by the
Alaska steamship company. Cord
ova has been supplied with all kind
of vegetables frotu the Skagway
valley.
This is merely mentioned to show
that the shipment of vegetables
from Skagway Is no longer a nov
elty nor an experiment, but an ev
eryday occurrence during the sum
mer.
While ou this it might
not be amiss to mention the fact
that daily, many gallons of milk,
put up lu pint, quart and gallon
caua, are shipped by train to White
horse and intermediate points along
the White Pass and Yukon route,
from the Skagway dairies, and (or
several years past, Kmll Klutt, the
Uvea farmer and dairyman, has been
uhippln^ butter to outside poluts.
Yes, Brother Troy is right. The
old rule holds good. What has
been done, can .be dono again, and
wlt!? the Skagway farmers "it has
been done time and time ugaln". It
will contiuuo to be done, and the
time Is here when the people of
the world must know that "there is
no end to the possibilities of Alas
ka development."
SCHMIDTS CMMK \XI> THK
CHl'ltCH.
Some of the members of the!
church are over sensitive because
of the arrest of a man, of the cloth
til New York for murder and coun
tcrfeltlng. says Editor Troy, in tho
Juneau Empire. There Is absolute
Iv nothing in the arrest and con
fession of Rev. liana Schmidt tha
Involves the church to which ho bo
longs any more than It Involves th
German race of which he Is one.
Schmidt Is oue of those abnorma
men such as the authorities come
lu contact with now and again in
whom the criminal Instincts are s
active that even the Influence of
the church and the religion of tho
Xazarene did not find permanen
lodgment. No one will blamo tho
ihurch for Schmidt's crimes. It
was the devil that was in him and
not the religion that he professed
that made a fiend of him.
If the truth were known, and we
had some way to measure the re
sults of lufluenco on individuals, wo
probably would learn that his con
nection with the church prevented
him from doing many things In the
<ourse of his life that would have
been crime against society.
An Oakland judge dismissed the
case of a woman who was wearing a
soldier's khaki suit, saying she look
ed better and was more modest in
that than in a allhouet gown or a
slit skirt. It won't bo long before
niafher will r t Into her overalls on
wash day, and look quite as dlsrep
utable as father in his Sunday gar
1 1 en clothes.
