I' The Doctor himself, is a farmer,
j His farm is in Virginia. Last year
he sold apples off his farm and could
realize no more than fifteen cents-—
FIFTEEN CENTS—per barrel. Just
to keep cases on how things art
done, he followed a carload of
those 15 cent apples to Washington,
I). C. There they were sold by com
mission men at $15,. per barrel. The
commission house trust bleeds the
growers, holds up the buying pub
lic and makes millions of dollars.
Simply immense, isn’t it?
The State of Washington witness
ed the construction of 164 new man
ufacturing plants for the year 192 7.
The total now, of active manufac- j
luring concerns, is 5,825. Among!
them are four new paper and pulp '
mills. The latter are in no way re- 1
lated, financially or otherwise, to !
the big paper and pulp mills of |
Alaska, so nobly described by 11
ounces at Juneau.
Charles F. Hopkins was a soldier
in the Civil War. In one of his
many battles liis heroism attracted
the attenion of officers and his name
was sent in to headquarters. He
earned the Congressional Medal of
Honor, and the other day, 65 years ,
after the war, the Department of
War handed the medal to the aged
trooper.
The Seattle Chamber of Commerce
is making a howl because too many
•ships in the coastal trade buy
| their provisions and get their re
pair work done in San Francisco
The Queen City thinks it should get
at least half of the business. So
attle. geting about all of what, Al
aska has, shouldn’t make a squeal
like this for steamship supplies.

SOMK ( HIM, IN THE KLUKWAN
COUNTRY
Word reeived from Klukwan and
vicinity is to the effect that there
was some winter in that region, and
. indications are that it isn’t altogeth
er over with yet. In latter part of
I November and through January the
| thermometer hung around 24 de
! ffrees below zero. The Chilkat Riv
er was hard frozen, but recent big
tides have broken the ice and it is
moving out. The cold kept the vil
lage iolk rustling fuel all the time.
At Porcupine the frost registered
IS below zero. In the ice of the
Chilkat River thousands of sokoi
and cohoe salmon were imprisoned
and started to complete their journ
'ey upstream as the ice left. This is
something unique in salmon history.
The deep snow put all automobiles
out of commission and the trans
portation of the region had to turn
back to the old reliable dogs and
sleds.

It ig reported that the Rober
Dollar interests have taken to tin
birch timber of the Alaskan Interi
or as if there were something to it
To test this wood around 100,000
t'eet will be shipped out. The Alas
ka birchwood is good timber and
. will live up to any of the tests for
small semi-hard growths. It will
be a good thing for the Interior i'
a market can be developed, and
there is no reason why there should
not be a demand if the operations
are properly handled.
The Gentleman at the Keyhole,
Collier’s, says: “• * * Mr. Coolidge
had nothing to gain by four more
years in the White House. He had
achieved an extraordinary populari
- j ty, largely due to circumstances and
s | not much due to his personality or
to his accomplishments. It wa3 the
most negative popularity in history
People applauded him for what he
| was not, not for what he was.”

j A bone head joke was pulled not
Hong ago by one H. R. Creecy, a
prospector on Wild River of the Koy
okuk District. He tacked a sign on
a tree that he was about to die.
Some one found the note and a re
lief party was made up to find him.
This party traveled 200 hundred
miles in rough country to offer aid
and finally found Creecy alive and
well. Creecy said the note and
death notice was "just a joke.”
