ALASKAN ROAD TO OPEN COAL FIELDS 6reat Undeveloped Areas Invite Commercial Operation. TO BUILD LINE BY CONTRACT W. C. Edes Is Chairman of Commission In Charge of Big Government Enter prise—Alaska Northern Route, Sev enty-one Miles Long, Bought by Gov* ernment. Washington.—The two greatest un developed coal fields in America, so far as is now known, will be surveyed in detail by the government this sea son, and a year hence it Is expected they will be ready for commercial op erations. To one of these fields a railroad will be opened within the year, or as soon thereafter as possible. To the other a road will be opened just as soon as the examination of physical conditions shall make it certain that the terminal is satisfactory and the approach to the field satisfactory. These will be immediate results of the action of President Wilson in sign ing the order under which construction of the government railroad system In Alaska will begin at once. The president in signing the order designated that the Alaska Northern road shall be bought by the govern ment and then extended up the Susitna valley to Fairbanks. This will make a total of 471 miles of road from tide water at Resurrection bay to Fair banks. A branch thirty-eight miles long will extend into the Matanuska coal field, which has been shown by Photo By American Press Association. W. O. EDES, CHAIRMAN OF AT.AHTCATT BAIXi WAY COMMISSION. careful tests to produce a high grade of semianthracite coal of excellent qual ity for use by the navy.. There were two routes competing for the selection at this time—one from Seward inland, which has been select ed the other going Inland by way of the present Copper River and North western railroad, up the Copper river and making available the Bering river coal deposits. It is understood that the decision in favor of the Alaska Northern route was settled by reason of Hie fact that the navy has tested coals of the Matanuska and Bering riv er fields and gave its verdict in favor of the former coals. The government is going to reserve 5,000 acres of the best coal for its own development and use, thus insuring a naval supply for generations to come, no matter what may become of the re mainder of the two fields. In deciding to buy the Alaska North ern road, seventy-one miles long, aud extend ii up the Susitna valley to Fair banks the government rejected the of fer of the Copper River "and North western line, which is 196 miles long, it will pay $1,150,000 for the Alaska Northern, which is said to be less than the valuation fixed on it by the gov ernment appraisers, while it is under stood that about $15,000,000 was asked for the Copper River line, a fine and complete road, built, however, in a dif ficult region and at great cost. The president directs that the pres ent Alaska engineering commisison, composed of William C. Edes (chair man), Lieutenant Frederick Mears and Thomas Riggs, Jr., shall manage the construction of the lines. The work, however, will be done by contract in sections, instead of directly. One reason why the Alaska Northern was taken over, as Secretary Lane ex plains, is that it opens up a generally good country for agricultural, live stock and mining purposes. It Is the gov ernment's wish that there shall not be an untimely rush of ill equipped bonanza seekers to Alaska, and that Is feared in spite of all warnings to th« contrary. Along the route that has been chosec lies the Susitna valley, which, to a large extent, is unknown In detail, though it contains much of gold and great areas of land available for agri culture and stock raising. Big gold strikes have been reported lately along this route and important finds of quartz in the Mount McKinley country. sfetjiiiiisiaMiiatt 3 CHURCH NOTICES LUTHERAN CHURCH. T. G. Sifldtno.

For grain production, checking corn 3 feet 6 inches or 3 feet 8 inches, with 3 to 4 kernels per hill, is the method usually followed in Minnesota, says A. C. Amy, of the Minnesota College of Agriculture Checking the corn permits cultivation both ways and gives a better opportun ity to keep it free from weeds than does drilled corn. When the soil is excep tionally free from weeds, the corn may be drilled to advantage, and the plants should be from 12.to 14 inches &part in the row. For silage, or for bundle corn to be fed without husking, a plant every 6 or 8 inches in the row, either checked or drilled, will produce a larger yield and better quality than thinner planting. From 1 to 2 inches is a good depth to plant if the soil is moist. If there is no moisture within 3 inches of the surface, the corn must be planted deeper. When the season is late and the soil somewhat wet and cold, planting not more than 1 or X% inches deep is important. The deeper corn is planted the longer the time needed to reach the surface, which means that the growing season will be shortened. The probability that some plants will not be able to reach the sur face is increased by planting unecessar ily deep. The corn plants cannot be made to root lower in the soil by deep planting. The permanent roots are de veloped about the same depth whether the corn is planted 2 or 4 inches deep. Three Hints for Up-State Potato Men. Northern Minnesota has splendid op portunities as a potato region, but, sayB M. J. Thompson, Superintendent of the Northeast Experiment Station of Du luth, "we must fight the menace of dis ease." In this fight Mr. Thompson re commends three things: Seleotion of disease-free stock as far as possible. The planting of this stock in new land or in clover or blue grass sod, never re peating immediately on old potato land. Treating potato seed before planting, with either formaldehyde or corrosive sublimate. -zt Spring Rain.
