Thg Skagway Alrskan completed
IS years of its existence a few days
ago. My how time does fl}:!
Eighteen years ago the towtisite of
Skagway was almost a wilderness,
bat c-vtn then it ■was filled villi
the greatest aggregation of argo
nauts from all parts of the * orld,
bound for the Klondike, li was a
busv, buddiug metropolis, then, and,
though age has moderated the ex
hcberance of its lusty youth, Skag
way is still a substantial town,
with a promising future and the
town lias always had an able and
faithful exponent in the Skagway
Alaskan. It is an excellent news
paper, clean and decent, t'afrr and
honorable always, and is an insti
tution in its home town and a re
presentative newspaper cf the ter
ritory. The Alaskan, by the way,
is the oldest daily newspaper in
Alaska. Long may it continue to
serve i's constituency and the ter
ritory in the same able manner «is
in the past.—Juneau Empire, Feb.
MEXICO'S MILLION. ACRE FARMS
lu :he United Suites the farmer
is an humble person; in Mexico ae
is a ki'sg 01' millionaires.
You icok out across a level plain
and vc ,i ste a magnificent house of
stone, cement and great timbers,
covering, sometimes, as much as
half aa acra Surrounding it are
other houses, hundreds of them,
but all small, comarucuU of adobe,
brush tr even of cancsuilks.
You are not looking at town,
but at a ranch settK mer.t. In the
great house—which costs many
times more than all the little
houses put together—lives the
hacieadado and hi? family. In the
little houses livo the peens.
The 'ypicul farm, in Mexico is
not of 160 acres, but of 1,000,00.
In the state of Morelos, twenty
eight haciendados own all the ag

Quintans Roo, double the site of
Mas*a<husetts, is Wvidod among
eight companies. The greater
portion of the stare of Yucatan Is

Chihuahua is owned by one family.
Lower California, equa; la sire to

great corporations.

rich, agricultural country, Mexico
does not produce even enough com
aaed beans to feed her own peon
population. Modern machinery is
needed but modem machinery will
never b" used extensively so long
as the peon is so cheap that primi
