A CftAXGE OF HEAKT
Prof. C. C. Georgeson, of the 17.
S. agricultural experimental sta
tion for Alaska, has evidently had
a change of heart with referenco
to certain sections of the territory
since the publication of his 1912
report in September of last year,
in which he says of Haines:
"There is practically no garden
ing at this place, largely because the
town is built on a rocky slope with
little soil. The Fort Seward grounds,
however, were covered with an ex-'
cellent lawn. A SOLDIER SAID that:
until within the liist year they had
kept excellent gardens, but in lores:
had been lost in these because j
steamers brought all kinds of veg-.
etables and nobody seemed to care
particularly about growing flower--."
The report is so wide of the ac
tual fact that we are astonished
that one in Prof. Georgeso i s posilio
should make such a statement with
out personal investigation into the
truth of what he is giving public- I
ity to. The truth of the matter is :
that Prof. Georgeson has not kept
in touch with the agricultural lie-!
velopment of certain sections, not- j
ably those of Skagway and Haines,
and all the information he has of
the latter appears to hr.ve been
supplied by a soldier, of whom he i
doea not even give the name.
When Prof. Georgeson's report j
appeared last fall we took occasion
to iuforni ourselves as to the'
varieties and quantities of farm ■
produce that had been raised in
the vicinity of Haines for the pre
ceding summer, and from most |
authentic sources we can give the I
following:—Six thousand quarts of
strawberries, raised bv Ctns. Anway,
and sold for SlL'OO; 1,000 sacks of
rutabagas, 15o sacks of potatoes
and about one ton of cabbage, by
different parties, whose ni mes we
can give if necessary, and will h
were shipped to Seattle and soid
in the open market in competi
tion with similar varieties of veg
etables raised on the Scund. Of
course the actual anu>' tit pro
duced was far in excess of that
quoted above, for the reason that a
quantity of the out-put was dispos
ed of in the home market, of which
no track was kept.
In the face of his report of last
year, however. Prof. Georgeson
during his recent visit tj Juneau
gave out the following for publi
cation in the Alaska Daily Empire
of April 10th, and hence it is that
we say he has evidently had a
change of heart:
"Haines and the country back of
it furnishes the best opportunity
for orcharding in Alaska, according
to Prof. C. C. Georgeson, of the
U. S. agricultural experimental sta
tions, who returned on the Mari
posa this morning from a brief visit
in that section. Several years ago
Prof. Georgeson gave Che farmers
of that section some apple trees
and they have thrived we'.l. On the
farm of E. A. Adams a <a-ce was so
heavily loaded with fruit one year
that it broke down.
Tho present journey was maue
with a view of having tho farmers
co-operation in the matter of try
ing out more fruit tre s. The trees
will be furnished by Prof. (Jeorgesou
and the farmers will care for them
The object is to secure the best
variety that will grow anil produce
most successfully in that section.
"Prof. Georgeson says he was
surprised that there is so much snow
on the ground in the country back
of Haines. The farmers there will
raise a heavy crop of turi.ips this
year and arrangements have been !
made to market it all."
We would suggest that Prcf.
Georgeson, instead of devoting all
his attention to his little garden
patch at Sitka, come to a part of
the territory where there is a chance
to show results.
SPRING CLEANING
We read, sometimes, with a thrill
of pride and pleasure of the lives
and deeds of some of our-ancestors
•—and we like to forget that we
ever had certain brands of ances
tors—but, though thoy may have
worn cloth of gold, or have gone^
abroad in inlaid armor, for the
most part an aristocratic American
hog lives better than any one of
them ever lived. No knight of
Arthur's Table Round lived a6 well j
;.s any eighteeu-dollar-a-week clerk
in the city of Dayton. Those old
ancestors of ours were none too )
clean, and they had sc-me very
startling and careless habits.
it's a fine thing to live in an a'ge
of soap and paint, a finer thing to
live in any community where these
things are religiously used. It pays
in many ways to be clean. About
the only uopular thing left in this
country that appeals to anyone it
it happens to be dirty is a dollar;
but the majority prefer clean dollars,,
though we can't deny that they
may be tempted. That isu't due to
the condition of the dollar, how
ever. It's beacuse Uncle Sam says
U's worth a hundred cents even if
its face isn't washed.
In every other sense a.nl relation
cleanliness is a personal and civic
asset.
So Jlr. Knocker, go chase your
self—no, go and paint everything
in sight, except your mother-in-law.
She probably has learned how to do
I hat job for herself.
Clean up and paint up, or shut
i!|> ii you can't do anything but
growl. There is a scripture that
fits your case if you want to con
tinue dirty and ruity. It ljgads:
"lie that is filthy, let" him be
filthy still."
That was all right scripture away
back yonder, but in these days we
won't let a fellow be that way. The
interests of the public are para
mount to those of the individual.

Purified Blood——
SOLVES Most of Sick
ness Problems
People who have been poulticing
and anointing for yirars and years
marvel at the way Purola docs the
work.
When you come to realize that
the skin and flesh beneath are
composed of a network ol tiny
blood vessels you solve the mystery.
There are wonderful medicinal
properties in Purola Syrup Sarsap
arilla compountf that follow the
course of the blood stream just as
naturally as the most nourishing
food elements.
Thousands know it to be really a
remarkable remedy. It contains one
ingredient, the active purpose of
which is to stimulate the tissues
to the healthy selection of its own
essential nutriment. And the "med
icinal elements of thiy matchless
blood purifier are just as essen
tial to wel'.-balanced health as the
nutritious elements of the meats,
grains, fats and sugars of our daily
food," said a well-known physician.
Not only this, but if from the
presence of some distributing poi
son there is a local or general in
terference of nutrition to cause
boils, carbuncles, abcesses and kin
dred troubles, Purola Syrup Sarsap
arilla compound, so direct the
local cells that this poison is re
jected and eliminated from their
presence.
Then, too, I rola Syrup Sarsap
arilla compouu. Las su:h specific
stimulation on ! hose local cells as
to preserve their mutual welfare
and a proper relative .assistance to
each other. •
Not one drop of minerals or
drugs is used in its preparation.
Ask for I'urola Syrup Sarsaparilla
compound, and just insist upon
Having it.—Keller Bros. Drug Co.
