(Fairbanks News-Miner)
That hemp may be grown success
fully in interior Alaska is demonstrat
ed by the display of the Northern
Commercial company, in front of
whose store there stands a hemp plant
six feet in height and of luxuriant
growth. Notwithstanding the fact that
a number of frosts have been felt the
plants continue to grow and new
leaves are appearing on it every day,
proving the hardiness of hemp.
Whether it can be grown for com
mercial purposes remains yet to be
seen, but the indications are that it
may be produced with good success.
Further and more extensive exper
iments will be made next year and
some day in the not far future it may
develop into an industry worthy of
recognition. It is but another one of
the possibilities of the north that are
being demonstrated yearly and which
are slowly but surely coming to the
front.
SEAL HERDS BUILDING UP,
SAYS OLD-TIMER REDPATH
Forty-one years of almost continu
ous residence in Alaska have not
proved sufficient for J. C. Redpath,
now. of San Francisco, who is at the
Ranier-Grand en route to Dutch Har
bor, to spend the summer as his fan
cy wills, says the Seattle Fost-Intelli
gencer. Mr. Redpath for thirty-sev
en years was stationed on the Pribi
loff islands for the two companies
that during that time had the islands
leased. He left the service when the
United States fisheries bureau about
four years took over the islands.
Since that time he has made his an
nual summer pilgrimage to Dutch
Harbor, returning to California when
the northern winter sets in. During
his years of active Mr. Redpath often
remained in the north continuously
for four or five years at a time, es
pecially during the early part of his
career, when travelling was not so
easy.
Although the fur seals, which make
a resting place of the islands at cer
tain seasons, have been hunted un
mercifully in times past, Mr. Redpath
believes modern methods of protec
tion will prevent their extinction.
“The fifteen-year closed season on
pelagic seals has had a wonderful ef
fect on building up the seal herds,”
he said. “Now that sealers cannot
take these animals on the high seas,
the seals have had a chance to in
crease, and as the government has
not been killing many on the islands,
the rookeries look like they did in
olden times. This closed season has
ten years yet to run.”
Mr. Redpath says the islands have
yielded literally millions of %kins.
“In twenty years one company
which had the islands leased took
over 100,000 skins a year,” he said.
“And even this was under restric
tions. In spite of all - this warfare
against them the seals still return to
the islands year after year, and do
not seem to learn what fear means.”

Watson, having disposed of the fam
ous steamboat Pup, will shortly leave
for the Marshall diggings, taking with
him the wireless telegraphic appara
tus which formerly did service at
Dikeman. If after a personally con
ducted inspection, the new camp re
tains the same roseate hue it does
from this distance, Mr. Watson will
install a telegraphic station at that
place.
Made Money by Internment.
The German ship Indra at the out
break of the war was homeward bound
from Chile with a cargo of nitrates.
She made a dash into the neutral har
bor of New York and has remained
there ever since. When she arrived
her cargo was worth $125,000. Re
cently it was determined to sell the
cargo, and it brought more than a
million dollars, considerably more
than the value of the ship and cargo
combined when the war broke out.
