ALASKA SEED IS
SHIPPMTSIDE
On the steamer Tanana, which
sailed from Nenana last night, a
cor.-ignment of 800 pounds of Pet
rot:.,,- turnip seed, the product of
the government experimental farm,
is being sent out to the States, con
signed to the Woodruff Boyce com
pany of Seattle. It is believed that
the seed will bring about $1 per
pound in the States.
Heretofore the seed of this
variety of turnip had been imported
into the States from foreign coun
tries, but owing to the war seedmen
were unable to get their supplies
this year.
Superintendent Snodgrass of the
experimental farm stated that the
Petrosky turnip seed was very easily
grown and that the yield would be
about 800 poun3s of seed per acre.
A new industry is opened up for
the Tanana valley farmers who may
care to go in for seed raising. The
price of the seed, however, is very
likely to fluctuate, the tendency al
ways being to drop.

MEN OF DRAFT
APPEAL TO CLUB
FOR ASSISTANCE
Alaskans who have been drafted
I into the service during the war,
jand who are now stationed at Fort
, Gibbon, have appealed to the Fair
| banks Commercial club for assist
ance in getting their discharge, so
j that they may be enabled to get in
j part of the summer in the peaceful
* pursuits it had been their custom
jto follow ere being called to the
j colors for the duration of the war.
! There are about 35 men still in
jthe service at Fort Gibbon wh>
! expected to be discharged shortly
! after the signing of the armistice,
j Several Alaskans have already been
; discharged at Fort Gibbon and the
.various other camps throughout th?
j States, and there is apparently no
.reason for holding the men longer
in the service.
The commanding officer at Fort
i Gibbon does not appear to be vested
.with sufficient authority to dis
; charge the men on request, and
| the officials in the States from
■ whom he gets his instructions ap
pear to be densely ignorant of con
ditions in Alaska, as usual.
The Fairbanks Commercial club
has sent a wire to the commanding
general of the Western division, re
' questing that these men be dis
i charged as soon as possible, point
■ ing out that men are needed urg
ently for work on the railroad and
1 in the mining camps, and that to
• hold them needlessly in practical
j idleness at the military post, when
their services can be utilized to ad
vantage in furthering the develop
ment of the country, would be in
the way of retarding that develop
ment.
It is hoped that the action taken
by the Fairbanks Commercial club
will have the desired effect and
that the officer commanding at
Fort Gibbon will be ordered to dis
charge the men at once.

MINERS LEAVE
The power scow Mary, owned and
operated by Charles McGonagal, left
Fairbanks this morning with Tom
Blaylock, A1 Copeland and another
man, bound for the Kantishna coun
try on a prospecting trip.
Only a part of the necessary
outfit for an extended prospecting
trip has been secured, it being the
j intention of the men to secure the
balance of their outfit at Nenar.a
[on their arrival here this evening.
The McConagal scow was re
cently used to take up Tom Aitken’s
outfit to Roosevelt. The destina
tion of the scow on the present trip
is not definitely known, but it is
believed that she will go un the
Kantishna river as far as that
stream is navigable.

LAUNCH ECLIPSE IN
FROM TOLOVANA RIVER
The launch Eclipse, with Captain
' George Black at the wheel, arrived ;
■at Xenana shortly after midnight j
! last night. She had one passenger |
[for Xenana and three in transit
for Fairbanks, whither she sailed
early this morning. Among those
i on board bound for Fairbanks were
i Ernest Peterson and Paul Ringseth.
From the logjam she brought Dr.
and Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Ernest
Peterson, who landed at the Vaehon
trading post, near the mouth of j
the Tolovana. They are enroute
to the States and expect to join the
steamer Tanana at that point.
Dr. and Mrs. Martin and Mrs.!
Peterson had intended to come to,
Xenana and look over the town, I
joining the Tanana at this port, but
owing to the delayed departure of
the launch from the logjam, had to 1
alter their original plans.
