TANANA GROWS
AN ABIDANCE
OF VEGETABLES
FAIRGANKS, Aug. 26— Statistics
compiled and read at the meeting of
the Tanana Valley Agricultural Asso
ciation show conclusively that there is
an abundance of potatoes and vege
tables in the local market.
Thirty-five farmers gave their acre
age and crop estimate and with an
ordinary fall the tubers should be
A-l. This is particularly welcome news
as the crop is selling for $200 a ton
in Seattle.
The wheat crop will not be a
bumper one but there will be a
fair yield on most every acre plant
ed. If wheat ripens this year, when
the spring planting was delayed three
^eeks later than average by the late
spring and early preceding fall, there
will always be an assured wheat crop.
The flour mill purchased by Sup
erintendent Snodgrass of the govern
ment farm for the Farmer’s Mill Cor
poration is on its way, having left
Seattle July 11, and should be in St.
Michael now.
Mr. Snodgrass reported a Twentieth
Century mill manufactured at Deca
tur, 111., wras purchased. It has a
capacity of 25 barrels a day. . The
mill is built with cast iron frame and
steel angles, making a compact, light
mill that is as strong as the old
fashioned iron one, the shipping
weight of the mill proper being but
6,500 pounds.
When the mill is in operation,
wheat can be turned into flour with
all its by-products of bran, shorts,
etc., and will make the Tanana valley
virtually self supporting.
An important step in the agri
cultural line was taken, when it was
decided that every sack of spuds
sold by the association would be ma
chine grade and a guarantee slip
with the growers name and the asso
eiation guarantee as to size and qual
ity. The farmers have a potato grad
er installed that grades in three
sizes and any purchaser may be as
sured of a good sack of spuds when
so graded.
Mr. Snodgrass reported the arrival
of some thoroughbred hogs and the
local farmers will be assisted in get
i ting a start in raising thoroughbreds.
A shorthorn milch class bull was alsc
secured and is on the farm for the
cattle men.
With the description of the late
farm conditions outside, as given by
the superintendent, every farmer
went home pleased that his farm is
in Alaska, the land of promise, and
not the great outside.
NAVIGATION CLOSED
TO GASOLINE FLEET
LEWISTON, Ida., Aug. 26—Captair
E. G. McFarlane, veteran pilot of gaso
line craft on the upper Snake river
announces the river has reached such
a low stage that navigation beyonc
the mouth of the Salmon river, aboui
50 miles above Lewiston, would be im
possible for two months.
In recent years the extension o1
river transportation by large gasoline
freight and passenger boats up the
Snake river* has increased greatly
This has opened up large stretches oi
cattle and sheep grazing country hith
erto inaccessible, and has made possi
ble during the past year a regular mail
service by boat to upper river points

BALL GROUNDS
PROVIDED FOR
AT KETCHILAN
KETCHIKAN, Aug. 26—Ketchikan
will have a regular honest-to-goodness
baseball park—one which it will not
be necessary to share with shellfish
or humpies—by the first of April,
1921.
W. J. Walter, who claims to have
had considerable experience with such
work, has signed a contract with the
park committee to put the ground
which was cleared last year, in shape
for a baseball diamond, tennis courts
and ornamental plots.
The contract provides that the
grounds be leveled up with gravel
and sand, an ample supply of which
is available in the hillside north of
the park clearing. The area adja
cent to the light company’s power
house will be prepared for a base
ball diamond.
Tennis courts are to be erected on
| the northwest side of the park, ad
| joining the woods.
Approximately one-third of the
area that has been cleared is to be
laid out in the form of a park with
gravel walks, green grass and trees.
The section of the park nearest to
town will be used for that purpose.
It will be divided from the baseball
i ground and tennis courts by an 18
! foot gravel road, which will lead to
the grove—an ideal spot for picnics
I during the summer.

The Alaska road commission re- j
ceived a 5%-ton tractor on the
freighter Redondo from the south. !
The big machine was loaded on a i
scow for shipment to Hyder, where it
will be used in connection with the
! construction of the Salmon river
road. The arrival of the big tractor
| has brought to the attention of the
! officials of the road commission the
lack of transporaion o Porland canal,
j An atempt was made to have the
j tractor taken to Stewart by one of
| the Canadian boats, but none of them
| could handle it. It will cost the com
mission nearly twice as much to send
it from Ketchikan to Hyder by scow
as it cost to bring it from Seattle
to Ketchikan.

William Sulzer. former governor
of the state of New York, and a
brother of the late Charles A. Sulzer,
former delegate from Alaska to con
gress, arrived from the east on the
steamship Princess Alice. Mr. Sul
zer is going to the town of Sulzer
on Prince of Wales island. He de
clined to make a statement, saying
he would return from the island in
a week for a stay at Ketchikan,
at which time he would probably
have an announcement to make. It is
understood that a party of mining
men, representing the Branby inter
ests at Anyox, B. C., are going to Sul
zer also to look over the copper
mines there.
After having spent the past three
years at lonely light stations in the
Aleutian archipelago, Edmund Moore,
keeper of the Scothch Cape light, and '
George Alezius, assistant keeper at 1
Cape Sarichief, returned to Ketchi- i
kan on the steamer Katherine D. | '
The men will probably take a year’s ‘
holiday with pay. Capt. W. D. Di-1 <
Hi ell, superintendent of the light <
house service, also returned on the
Catherine D. The captain went to the j
westward with the tender Cedar on ^
a tour of inspection. He boarded ^
| the Catherine D. at Unimak.
The concrete work on the new ^
bank building is nearing completion, ^
and the- brick work is to start soon. i
A rumor was circulated that a fourth 1
floor was to be added, but this was
denied. What is now the roof of the
building has been built in such a way *
it can be used for a floor in case it
should be found necessary to add ,
another story later. A false roof will
be placed above the concrete roof. I
The forest service has received a
portable machine shop for its boat
ways at Gravina Island. The shop
brought from the south on the Re
dondo has been /transferred to a
scow for shipment across Tongass
Narrows. It is. compact and con- •
tains all necessary equipment for the
making of ordinary repairs to the
forest service boat Tahn and the for- -
ester’s boats.'
The United States mine sweeper
No. 4, Lieut. H. L. Arnold in com
mand, arrived from the north with
the sub chaser 306. • The sweeper 1
has been detailed to patrol work in '
Oiaskan waters, and will remain in
the north until late in September.

WANTS SEPARATION
AS HUBBY HUGGED
ANOTHER WOMAN
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—Because she
saw her husband, Charles L. Hug, hug-;
ging another woman, Mrs. Marie Hug,
who believes that all Hug’s hugs
should be hers, has brought suit for
separation and is asking the court to
award her $40 a week alimony and
$350 counsel fees. Mrs. Hug charged
in her complaint that her husband has
treated her cruelly since 1917, a year
after they were married.
“On May 5, 1917,” Mrs. Hug states,
“the plaintiff encountered the defend
ant and an unknown woman while in
the act of kissing each other.”
Mrs. Hug also said that Hug spoke
to her so “very infrequently” that he
caused her to become a nervous
wreck.
MILLION IS SAVED TO
SHIPPERS BY PUBLIC
SERVICE COMMISSION
OLYMPIA, Aug. 26.—More than
$1,000,000 annually was saved to the
shippers of Washington by the inter
vention of the public service commis- *
sion before the interstate commerce
commission in the recent rate hearing
at the national capital, according to
a statement made by the state com- i
mission in a report to Governor Hart, i
The public service commission, :
through its experts, pointed out at the
hearing that the railroads operating in
the northwest, particularly, were hi
some instances, under the present
rates, earning in excess of the 5%
per cent guarantee, while other roads
in western classification territory,
notably those operating in Oklahoma,
Kansas, Nebraska and the southwest
ern portion of the United States, were
in bad financial straits. To make in
creases in the territory as a whole suf
ficient to recoup these southwestern
roads would place an enormous and
unnecessary burden on the western
shippers.
As a result of the commission’s
showing, the interstate commerce com
mission announces that it has divided
western territory for rate increase
purposes and the southern part of
western territory will be permitted ad- -
vances aggregating 35 per cent, w’hile
the northwestern section, including
this state, will be allowed advances
of approximately but 25 per cent. This
means that the increased railroad rev
enues for the northwest will be ap
proximately $17,000,000 a year less
than had the entire classifiication, ter
ritory been grouped.
