department sends soil
• ■.xter: into Fairbanks
From the Fairbanks News-Miner:
! At the request of Secretary Lane,
; 'ho Bureau of Soils of the United
States Department of Agriculture
| detailed two soil experts for Alaa
ua till: summer, one of whom ar
| rived in Fairbanks last night over
1 ihe trail. His name isr H. H. Bon
neit and ho came through on Shel
don's a» to. The other expert is
T. l). Rice, whom Mr. Bennett left
in the Cook Inlet country. They
worked together over there until
about two weeks ago when the lat
tfc,- started for the interior.
Mr. Bennett has been with the
service for a great number of years
aud has been eng.-god in examining
soils all over tiitj united States,
lv«m the Atlantic s us west to the
Pacific. Ho will tako many samples
Of typical soils iu this valley, in
th0 lowlands on tile benches and
on tho hillsides, which will bo Bent
east to Washington for chemical
analysis iu tho government labora
tories lor the purpose of determin
ing their composition. From his
examinations and these analysis,
tho agricultural department will
mako a report on what the soil
will best pcoduce, %\ they require
to 'ucrease their production,, how
they can bes*. be Li.udled by farm
ers, a d how much actual farming
land thero is ;;long t!>o proposed
railway i ues to L>o b'.-lt iu the
territory bj the government. These
reporta w'll all be turned over to
Secretary Lano and by Jiim sub
| mitted to Pr( id< t 11 llson and con
gress and will i: j U.'iU)'. have an
: important bearing or laying out
the railway lii.-s.
Mr. Bennett aud Mr. Rice are the
first soil experts ever sent North,
and their appearance marks the be
guiling of aud bn <jr work
by the department of agriculture in
the development of. Alaska. There
are a number of experiment stations
now maintained at different points
In Alaska, one hero and one at
Rampart among other places, all
of which are in a branch of the ag
ricultural department. As rapidly
as large farming districts have been
opened up in thi. states, these soil
experts have been of great benefit
to farmers and have made exhaus
tive examinatioi j aad reports which
have been of great benefit to farm
ers and others engaged iu developln
farming.
Over on the coast Mr. Bennett
says tliej have fo^.id much \ory
fine agricultural hind around Cook's
ln!ot to which their work has been
confined. T'-ey worked clear to
the he id of t' o Susitna valley and
will report in lull regarding its
farming ; , 'ibilitlcj. Hi. states
that they raise ;;cod cropj.. of veg
etables, oats, barley and hay in
that 0 "ict and nuch of it is
black loam th.it compares very
favorably with the soil in the rich-1
est southern valleys.
Coining over the trail he made
some c-.vimi; 1:10.1$ in the C°PPer
river valley and found some thriving
farms scattered over it. The Tan
ana valley looks good to him, but of
course li*s has not yet beeu able to
do any work here. He will visit
practically ail the farms in the dis
trict aud much of the unoccupied
region in his investigations and re
main here ::s l»i:g :>s tie can work.
With so short a li.ne, lie cannot
make anything but a general report,
but Secretary Lane desires the In
formation very much and Mr. Ben
nett is here to get all he can for
the department. Arriving at just
this timo he will also be able to
attend the Tanana Valley Fair,
which opens a week from Monday.

VR i MAi: Y ELECTIONS
Trenton, Sept. 22—Congressional
fights and m. ly cor csts for county
nominations chai n: Prized today's
state wide primary - ion in New
Jersey. There being no governor
or United Stales senator to be chos
en this year, the primary battle is
mostly of a local nature.
In three districts democrats are
contesting at the polls for congres
sional nominations, and in six there
ore fights for tho republican nomin
ations. The progressive candidates
have no opposition within their own
party in the districts in which they
are running. The bull moose party
has nominated men in about half of
the twelve congressional districts
of tho State.
An interesting sidelight In con
nection with the primaries today
was the fact that the Jewish New
Year which fell today served to
make the early votiug very light In
Hebrew communities throughout the
state. The polls opened at one
o'clock this afternoon, but owing to
the Jewish feast the citizens of that
faith did not cast their ballots in
large numbers until after sundown.
The voting ceases at 9 o'clock to
night.

The necessity of the wire drag
work now being carried on In South

strated by the discovery of several
heretofore uncharted pinnacle rocks
in Tongass Narrows, jnat north of
Ketchikan and on the route traveled
regularly by steamshlpe engaged In
the Southeastern Al^ka trade.
In the notice to mariners Issued
by the coast and geodetic survey
Aug. 28 Is the following:
"The coast and geodetic survey
party engaged on wire drag work
reports that subsequent examination
of the vicinity of the 16-foot rock,

end of Vallenar Point, western end
of Tongass Narrows, described in
Notice to Mariners No. 32, of 1914,
reveals the existence of another pin

Modern
Chivalry
By DONALD CHAMEERLIN
I wns sitting on the porch with
Farmer Griggs, while bis daughter,
• Philena, surrounded by a gtoip of chil
dren, was reading to them stories of
the age of chivalry. Her father and I
could hear her, and while she read
how Sir Somebody charged upon Sir
Somebody Else la a contest for the
Lady What's-her-name I noticed that
the farmer's eye lit up, and he seemed
to be rapt in reminiscence.
"They don't do sich things now that
a-wny," he said when the story was
finished, "but it's jlst as nater.-tl for
men to tight for women today as It
was then. But they're ginira-lly young
fellers, and the gals is young too. I
had a scrap like that when I was a
younker. I hearn one day that there
was to be a dance in a barn six or
seven miles down the road. After sup
per I started to walk It"
"What," I interrupted, "walk seven
miles, dance all the evening and walk
seven miles back!"
"Oh. 1 didn't mind a little thing like
that then! I was young and tough. I
needed to keep my muscles active;
there was so much vim in 'em. When
I got to the barn some fiddlers was
puttin' some boarus on ban-els to make
mnsic for the people to dance. While
they was tunin' up the dancers was
coinin' in.
"Purty soon they began to dance, but
I didn't know any o" the gals, and I
was afeared to ask 'em" to dance with
me. After awhile a black eyed gal,
seein' that I was left out in the cold,
said to me, siullin', 'Why don't you
dance?' and I says, "Cause I don't
know nobody to dance with.' And she
says, 'Won't I do?" And I says, 'You
bet' I put my arm around her -waist,
and we spun around that barn floor
like a flywheel of a cuttin* machine
with the beltiu' off.
"When the music stopped we went off
into a dark corner and set till it com
menced ag'in. I axed the gal if she
would dance with me some more, and
she said she didn't mind. We was
gittln' up to start off when a feller
came up and said the gal was engaged
to him for that dance. She said she
didn't remember any engagement with
him. so I put my arm around her, and
we sailed away.
"Not wishin' to take up the hull of
her time, wben the dance was over I
told her I would go and get a cup o'
water—jlst for an excuse, you know
though I would have liked to stay with
her the rest of the cvenin'. J hadn't
gone far before the feller that said the
gal was engaged to dance with him
come up to me, and he said, says he:
" 'See here, mister, if you want to
monopolize the belle o' this yere coun
ty you got to fight* for her.'
'"I don't want to monopolize any
one,' says I, 'leastways any one that
don't want to be monopolized, but I
don't want none o' your sass.'
"That wa'n't exactly like Sir Some
thing or Other In the storr would put
It, but I meant Jlst what he did. The
feller didn't throw down his mailed
glove, neither, but he was sp'ilin' for
a fight, and first thing I knowet! he
give me a jaw breaker. Then some
of the managers o' the ball that was
standln' by luterfered and said we
couldn't fight there: we must go out
side. So we went out, and all the men
follered us. The gals, flndln' thelr
selves without the men. thort they
might as well see the fun, and they
come out too.
"The moon was full that night and
shone like a big round silver dollar.
The feller I was to fight—they called
him Buck—was six feet high to my
five feet eight If the gal he was to
fight for was the/belle o' the county
he was the bully. He'd licked every man
he could get to fight him just as that Sir
What-d'ye-call-him In the story had
vanquished all the other knights. I
wasn't so big as he was, but I was all
fired tough. My arms was like a wild
cat's fore legs. When I seen the gals
gatherin' around I looked for the one
that the fight was about I saw her
standin' with her face squared to the
moon, and she give me a smile that
put enough vim in me to tackle a
grizzly.
"I couian t give yuu uu<.u w
count of the fight 'cause it was twen
ty-five years ago and a rough and tum
ble scrap anyway. Didn't neither of
us know how to box, and we just
slummed at each other like two wind
mills whose wings had got mixed from
bein* too close together. Onct in awhile
when I felt discouraged under a sledge
hammer blow the feller got in on me
I'd look for a smile from the girl.
She'd give me one, and I'd start in
ag'in pupty nigh as fresh as ever.
"The big feller was more ponderous
like than me, but he didn't have my
steel muscles, and he didn't have my
wind. After awhile he began to
breathe kind o' hard, and at last he
was hlttin' wild. I was as fresh as
ever, and when I saw he was givin'
out I jist waited awhile till he got
well tuckered, then landed a blow on
his Jaw that sent him sprawlin' on
the dirt
"Just then a rooster tuk it into hia
head^to crow in the middle o' the
night, and everybody Inrfed. We went
into the barn, the fiddlers struck up,
and I danced with the gal I'd fought
for."
"What became of her?" I asked.
"She's in the kitchen there boilin'
doughnuts."
"Oh, I see! Quite a romance."
"Not much like them tourneymenta,
but really the same thing after all"
