RANCH NEAR M’CARTHY
RAISED BUMPER CROPS
A1 Doze, proprietor of a sixteen
acre ranch near McCarthy, at the ter
minal of the Copper River railroad,
is in town this week attending court
as a juroro, says the Valdez Miner.
Mr. Doze is one of the most success
ful farmers of the Interior district,
and states that he finds no difficulty
in disposing of all he raises to the
Kennecott Corporation at an average
price of 8 cents per pound.
r£liis season he raised fifteen tons
of barley hay, a ton and a half of cab
bage, 300 pounds of carrots and 880
pounds of turnips. Mr. Doze planted
his crops in the early spring and later
went to work for the Tjosevig-Kenne
cott people, leaving the crops to shift
for themselves. Despite the fact that
they received no cultivation, he raised
a bumper crop.
Mr. Doze stated that he raised his
potatoes from seed that had remained j
in the ground all winter and was
frozen hard as rocks. He declared
that frost did not hurt the vegetables
so long as they were allowed to thaw
in the ground.
Discussing the numerous hunting
parties that have made McCarthy their
rendezvous this year, Mr. Doze stated
that in his opinion such parties should
be prohibited from coming to the ter
ritory. He stated that one such party
would destroy more game than ten
times the same number of prospectors,
and that game was being driven back
into remote districts, making it im
possible for a prospector to live off
the country.

George C. Hazelet, territorial chair
man for the memorial fund, delivered
an interesting talk on “The Object
and Purpose of the Memorial Cam
paign.” Mr. Hazelet stated that the
ultimate end in view was the setting
aside of the Roosevelt home at Oyster
Bay. Long island, as a national park,
and the establishment of a memorial
at Washington, D. C., consisting in all
probability of a technical school or
college, where scholarships would be
granted to worthy young people from
all parts of the United States. Mr.
Hazelet also gave an interesting ac
count of a visit made by him to the
home of George Washington at Mount
Vernon.
Frank H. Foster, chairman for the
Third division, explained the method
of procedure to be followed by the
local committees. In order that there
might not be a duplication o£ solicit
ing. M. Foster stated that the can
vassers were to stick to their own
districts as outlined, and that contri
butions should be for one dollar or
more to entitle the person contribut
ing to a certificate in the Roosevelt
Memorial Association. Contributors
should also make their gifts to the
committee in whose district they re
side.
The children are enthusiastic in
the canvass for funds for the Roose
velt memorial, and each of them is
anxious to make as good a showing as
possible. Every member of the com
mittee wears a badge and is entitled to
collect funds and give a receipt for
same.
KNOWS NO NORTH OR SOUTH
Southern Doughboy Who Fought in
France Is Strong for the Appella
tion “Yank.”
The monicker, Yank, is going to
stick, .lust read what this fellow, who
was born south of Mason and Dixon’s
line, writes:
“I come from n line of ‘rebels’ who
boast that they did not surrender.
Until 1 was quite n husky chap I be
lieved that d- Yankee’ was one
word and ‘Republican’ its synonym,
and knew the ‘rebel yell’ as a varsity
boy knows his college yell. Before
the war I wore a slouch hat, rode
horseback and shot squirrels. I still
say cawn bread, think Dixie should
be our national air, that Robert E. Lee
was the world’s greatest general, and
Jefferson Davis, sub, the world’s great
est statesman.
"But, speaking for myself and a
not overly small bunch of fellow ‘reb
els,’ I am exactly satisfied with the
honest, hard-fisted, flrtn-Jnwed and
seemingly inevitable nickname of
Yank, and say, with one of the papers
back home:
“‘Let Yank be the official battle
name of our boys, and the "rebel yell”
their official battle cry.’”

are welded.—Stars und Stripes.
