O’NEILL & SLATER COMPANY
THE STORE OF QUALITY
Among the passengers on the Ala
meda today were Senator Prank Al
drich, Representative James Daly, of
Nome, and Representative Martin
Moran, of Shugnak, in the Kobuk
country. They were among the pas
sengers of the gasoline schooner Sil
ver Wave, which left Nome Novem
ber 10, and which after a rough voy
age of twelve days finally came to grief
ofT Sand Point, where she lost her
propellor. She finally made the vil
lage of Sand Point and the passengers
remained there until picked up by the,
Dora and taken to Seward. They re
port that the story of the voyage has
not been exaggerated, and was hazard
ous in the extreme. Rough weather
was prevalent almost the entire dis
tance from Nome, and that the voy
age was one none of them would care
to repeat.
Messrs. Aldrich, Daly and Moran
are bound for Juneau, where they will
await the opening of the session of
the Territorial Legislature in March.

EDWARD RUCKER
TO BE A CADET
Delegate Wickersham announced
at the public meeting on last Monday
evening at Eagle hall, Valdez that
he would appoint Mr. Edward Ruck
er to the cadetship at West Point.
The announcement brought forth
rounds of applause showing full well
the popularity of this young man in
Valdez where he grew to manhood
and received his education. Judge
Wickersham boasted much of the
splendid record his previous ap
pointees to this position are making,
but Valdez will rest content that Ed
die Rucker will will make them look
well to their laurels if he does not
surpass them. Mr. Rucker is a bril
liant young man of sterling qualities,
and moral habits. His discourse at
the time of his graduation from the
High School there was a remarkable
display of oratorical ability. He is at
the present time a student in the
school at Berkley, California.

ALASKA FARMING
FUTURE
Alaska's agricultural possibilities
are set forth in an article prepared
by J. W. Neal, superintendent of the
government experiment station, for
the Fairbanks Commercial club. Mr.
Neal shows by figures on record at
the experimental farm what has been
accomplished with potatoes and vari
ous other crops.
Spring grains have not proved a
success every year but Mr. Neal
Is still experimenting with them. He
figures to show what various kinds
of grains yield at the farm, as fol
lows: Hultess barley, 1,800 pounds
to the ncre; beardless barley, 1,275
pounds to the acre; sixty-day oats, 4?
bushels to the acre. Finish black oats
planted on the northern slope. 155
bushels to five acres; and on the
southern slope, 90 bushels to one acre
Concerning potatoes, he had the
following to say:
"Potatoes have been grown at the
station, on a commercial scale, fot
six years, and it will, no doubt, Ik
Interesting to note that a few acree
on the south slope, in front of the sta
tion cottage, yielded potato crops
without fertilizers, which was ns fol
lows: First year, per acre, $500;
second year, per acre. $700; third
year, per acre, $500; fourth year,
seeded to red clover and alfalfa; fifth
year, five tons of potntoes per acre, at
$100 per ton. These figures are startl
ing to people unacquainted with con
ditions and prices here."
