GOVT. RAILWAY
BUYSPRODUCE
FROMFARMERS
ANCHpRAGE, Feb. 7 (Special to
the Daily Times).—As might be ex
pected, the best customer of the
farmers of the Matanuska valley is
the Alaskan engineering commisslom.
In mess halls at Anchorage and at
construction camps along the route
of the government railroad the com
mission uses, as far as possible, local
grown produce. According to the re
port for 1918 of the commission’s gen
eral storekeeper, he bought of farm
ers last year 57 tons of potatoes at
prices ranging from 1% to 2% cents
a pound; 32,845 pounds of turnips at
1 cent a pound; 8,063 pounds of cab
bage at 3 cents a pound; 4,075 pounds
of rutabagas at 2 cents a pound;
3,899 pounds of carrots at 3% cents
a pound; 876 pounds of rhubarb at 6
cents a pound, and 4,402 heads of let
tuce at 5 cents a head.
On account of dilatory steamship
service and high freight rates for
water transportation, Matanuska
farmers are unable to market their
produce to advantage in any of the
distant towns along the coast of
Alaska. As a consequence they are
urged by the land and industrial de
partment of the Alaskan engineering
commission to direct their attention
chiefly to dairying and the raising of
hcgs rather than as at present, to
the growing of perishable vegetables.
The land and industrial department
has recommended that congress ap
propriate money for the establishment
of stock farms in Alaska, whereby
stock might be lent to farmers for
breeding purposes pr sold to them on
long payments. Ensilage methods
could be invoked to put up feed at
harvest time for use in winter time.

SEWARD IS PEEVED AT
TREATMENT OF OFFICIALS
Robert J. Weir has received ad
vices from William Gerig that thp tug
Anna W. will be launched from the
ways at Anchorage and placed in
readiness to tow a barge laden with
Matanuska coal to Seward. The sup
position is that the tug will be
launched before spring, the barge
loaded and arrive here before next
summer. There are several bets up
that if the tug is launched within the
next few weeks it would not arrive
much before next summer, anyway.
In the meantime the Seward divi
sion of the government railroad is
using coal shipped from Seattle in
sacks on passenger steamships.
Let us see: The government has
coal mines about seventy five miles
north of Anchorage, the latter city
being 114 miles from Seward, yet it
is more expeditious, safer, more eco
nomical and more certain to have coal
shipped to Seward for the railroad,
in sacks, by steamer from Seattle,
than from the great government coal
mines.—Seward Gateway.

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
URGES CONSTRUCTION
Immediate resumption of public
construction 1b urged on state, county
and municipal authorities in a tele
gram sent by Secretary of War Baker,
chairman of the Council of National
Defense, and approved by Secretary
of Labor Wilson, to all state councils.
The telegram follows:
“Re-employment of discharged sol
diers, sailors and war workers re
leased from war industries is one of
the most important tasks now before
the country. We strongly urge that
in sections where surplus of labor ex
ists all public improvements be ad
vanced in order to absorb labor. We
ask that you use all Influence with
state, county and municipal authori
ties to this end. Preliminary steps
should be taken immediately in order
that necessary authority may be se
cured in time for operations upon
opening of construction season.”

Rev. A. J. Rocattl, priest in charge
of the Catholic church at Juneau re
cently left for Seattle where he will
spend a vacation of a month for the
benefit of his health. His physician
directed that it was necesary for him
to have a rest and Bishop R. J. Cri
mont gave him a leave of absence tor
a month. If he should regain his
health by tha ttime he will return and
resume charge of his parish there.

ALASKA OFTEN
FEATURED IN
SCREENPLAYS
The motion picture concerns go in
for Alaska screens and Alaskans go
in for the movies. This is evident
from the number of films that seek
to depict the wild frontier life of the
Northland and from the number of
Alaskans who are now playing in the
movies. Several of Rex Beach’s best
known novels, founded on Alaska life,
with an Alaska setting, are now pop
ular screens. And everybody knows
that Beach is an Alaskan. Wilson Mis
ner, another picturesque Alaskan, now
living in New York, writes an occa
sional scenario with Alaska as the
feature, and Jack Hines, an old-time
Nomeite, frequently appears in tue
movies. A] Cody, Jr., has a steady
job in the movies down around Los
Angeles, and had much to do with the
production of "The Flame of the Yu
kon. Miss Alice Niece, a former
resident of Valdez, is also with a mo
tion picture concern near Los An
geles.
“The Heir to the Hurrah,” which
is soon to be shown at the Empress,
v/a3 written as a novel and picturized
by Paul N. Armstrong, who made a
fortune out of the joint productions.
Armstrong died last year. His brother
Captain William M. Armstrong, is a
widely-known Alaskan. For years he
was interested in mines near Cordova
and on Chicagoff island. “The Heir
to the Hurrah” was the last novel
written by the brother, and the screen
production of the novel is an excel
lent production.
Anita King, the star in “The Heir
to the Hurrah,” is a young woman
who enjoys the outdoor life. She has
recently completed a transcontinental
trip by auto, driving the machine her
self.
