work on farms or in mines. Others
se ei employment simply n.s lahorerson

road building.
The purpose of the immigration pro-1
met, which has sought a icld in Alaska
is to give Finnish immigrants an op- j
portnnity to ne«|oire farms or other i
property of i>.• Iv own more easily than
they could do *<\ 1 »\ hiring out as labor-,
ers for great corporations. Ttie chief
! iiiu'.istrics of Finland are agriculture

Finlander-. more similarity of employ
men' than any other part of tin* west
ern world, with resources tar greater
than at home.
| In tin- locality chosen for the Finnish
e finny is found a large expanse of rich
! land, practically unlimited -.alt, water
fisheries, excellent timber and immense
coal deposits. Tiie climate is milder
than that of Finland and experiments
on a small scale have demonstrated
| that all the hardy cereals anil veget
ables have a prolific growth. Along
Cook Inlet the Finnish immigrants
will find a far richer country than they
I leave.
TO ORGANIZE A. B. CAMP
I Local Members Hold Meeting and
Prepare to Get Together
Twelve members of the Arctic
iirot her hood, holding proxies for four
others, met Sunday afternoon and
made arrangements to organize a Sew
atid camp of the order. Four addition
a! members live in Seward or vicimtv,
so the local camp will start with a
I membership of twenty.
A committee was appointed to make
i the necessary arrangements with the
; grand council for a charter. I iii> will
have to he obtained from the office of
the grand reeorder, Godfrey ( healan-,
j ger of Skagwav. The committee is
i composed of H. H HiAreth, ( . 1. Gag*
g >; i and < 'ceil H. Clegg.
II. i\ Web rant is a deputy grand
chief and empowered to conduct the
| formalities of instituting a new camp,
so that this can be done whenever tiie
.charter is received without sending
i for an outside official. As soon as the
camp is on a working basis an effort
' will be made to add a large number of
new members and to take steps to
j equip a lodge room.
