Owing to controversies continu
ously arising as to courses, distance,
etc., a boat would travel from Uni
mak Pass to Nome, we hereby in
sert tho following bit of information :
which we gleaned from John A.!
Wilson.
Unimak Pass, through which
nearly all boats pass north bound
from the Pacific to Bering Sea, is
on the same meridian of longitude
is Nome, that is, an airlino due
south from Nome 600 miles in length
would go through the Pass. Such
i line, however, would take one
over the Yukon Flats, and it is
necessary for a boat bound for Nome
to lay a course at first slightly
.o the west of north so as to clear
qunivhk island and then slightly
,o the east of north to Nome. From
>pposite Cape Sarichef Light on the
lorth side of Unimak Pass a course
s steered N. By W. V£ W. (N 17
legroes W.) true for 353 miles
vhieh will bring the ship to a point
tbout 20 miles west of Cape Mohi
an, the westernmost point of Nuni
mk Island. From this point Nome
mars N. by E. Vs E. 267 miles, so
hat the total distance from the
lorth side of the Pass to Nome is
120 miles. From Scotch Cap Light
in the south s:do cf the Pass to
•Jome is a distance of 634 miles
■'rom Nome to the Pass the courses
vould bo just the reverse, S. by W.
ia W. for 267 miles and then S.
ly E. VsE. 353 miles.

That the people of Nome are
wakening to tho possibilities of
his camp being self supporting in
ts vegitables is evident by tin many
;ardens planted and the unique
nethods adopted.
A new and truly remarkable
nethod of raising potatoes by which
t is claimed one can produce as
auch as forty bushels on a plot
f ground 6 x 8 is now being tried
iy a few people here. This plan
t is believed will revolutionize
iotato raising. It has proved
horoughly successful elsewhere and
3 therefore not an experiment en
irely.
The plan involves little cost ex
ept for seed. The first step is
o construct a bin measuring 6x8
t and 6 ft high, the sides of which
ire composed of strong boards or
data placed horizontally 2 Vi inch' s
ipart.
In this bin is spead a 6 inch
ayer of dirt. The surface Is then
narked off.with lines drawn length
wise and crosswise every foot with
!>.'• lines closer to an edge than 6
nches.
A piece of seed potato is placed
it each intersection. The pieces
Peing cut with at least two eyes
iaeh. The seed and earth re thou
’.overed with an inch or two of
Tl.y.' ure.
Another 6 inch layer of earth is
hen added and the process is re
peated until the bin is full.
Straw is used at the edges to
ceep the dirt from running out.
The potatoc vine takes the shortest
•oute toward the light and issues
Torn the top and sides.
Burbank said that by such a
nethod potatoes can be grown in
extreme northern climates as sue
:essfully as at the equator.
As late as 1865 potatoes were im
ported into Montana it being be
ieved that, tho potato would not
;row there. Since then those same
K-ctions have produced more po
.atoes per acre than has any other
part of the United States.
The time is now opportune for
similar experemental work in this
part of Alaska.
