KAKM1-NCJ IX ALASKA
Seattle P.-i.: Practical demonstra
tion of the possibilities of Alaska
in agriculture are soou to by sup
plied by the farmers of the Tan ana
valley. Those who are not informed
of the real resources of the terri
tory, and who have regarded it as
au ice-bound country in which the
only excuse for occupation by man
is its treasure of gold, are to be
disillusioned. Alaska's friends
everywhere, we are told, will be
given food ior pride in the agricul
tural showing by the valley farmers
tnis season.
Tanana valley farmers have un
dertaken to supply; interior Alaska
with its potatoes and ordinary gar
den vegetables. Fairbanks, pretty
well north and well in the iuterior
of the territory, is the ceuter of
this area of effort. Nest year the
valley hopes to raise enough po
tatoes and vegetables for the
whole territory.
As an earnest of ability to do
this, Fairbanks will have an agri
cultural fair this mouth, aud as
surances are given that it will
furnish surprises even for Alaskans.
What the Tanana is doing so
well will later be done by the val
levs farther south. The federal gov
ernment is constructing a railroad
i:'to the hecrt of a rich agricultur
al country where abundant crops
will ultimately be raised. That
district, we are now assured by the
Tanana example, will furujsh homes
for a large agricultural population.
If there is any necessary re
source that Alaska has not been
endowed with it is not apparent.
YELLOWSTONE "HELP'
Wh°n the Yellowstone hotel and
camp men shipped their season's
"help" to the park early in June to
be ready for the rush of visitors,
*he special train that carried them
afforded plenty of fun for the
cities at which it stopped enroute.
I*, was a merry crowd that filled the
fifteen Pullmans, one that knew
how to entertain itself exceedingly
.well. "The employes have their
owu lexicon of descriptions," says
the Salt Lake City News, describ
ing the scene at the station. "The
terms used to designated different
classes of help as follows: savages
—all of the help in a generic
sense; Heavers—dining room help;
Wranglers—horse herders; Barn
dogs—help used about the corrals;
Swaddies—soldiers in the park;
Dudes—all tourists; Mulligan Dump
—where the drivers eat. The aes
thetic designation of Biscuit Shoot
ers is applied to the hotel waiters."
The regular hotel help is strict

lareely amateur. The Wylie C&mp

wife of the well known Fairbanks
lawyer, and who is conducting a
lady barber shop in Seattle, was

Patrolman Burgess. According to
the stcry told by Burgess, the

her opinion of policemen generally
and those of Seattle in particular.
Burgess says that the remarks of
Mrs. Tozier were pointed in the ex

emphatic by the revolver held on
a level with his nose. The woman

northern territory and has resid

bankruptcy. It is unnecessary, how
ever, to pursue tluit Interesting pro
ceeding through ail its stages, which
culminated in a composition of 10 cents
cash and 15 cents promissory notes at
eight. ten and twelve months respec
tively.
Ten days after the confirmation of
the composition Morris Perlmutter,
laden with a sample case and followed
by a smuU boy similarly burdened,
passed*into the salesmen's entrance of
the Boston Store, Km gel & Flshblatt,
proprietors. He encountered Philip
Unterberg 011 his way out
"Good morning, Mr. Unterberg,"
Morris said pleasantly.
Philip U111 el berg stopped short and
fixed Morris with a terrible glare.
Then he turned his face to one side
and spat out on the ground, "T'phooeo,"
even as did iAlmcl of old.
Morris dropped his sample case and
clutched Unterberg by the elbow.
"What's the matter. Sir. Unterberg?"
he asked. "Have we done you some
thing?"
Unterberg choked and at length
found speech.
"Done me something? A question!"
he gasped. lie waved his hands im
potently. "Walt," he shouted—"wait;
I fix him yet. that—that Bcoundrel—
Abe Potash!"
"Mr. Unterberg, 0110 moment," Mor
ris protested.
"And you, too," Unterberg went on—
"you too. You try to steal my trade.

"Mr. Uuterberg, do me the favor,"
Morris commenced again conclliatlngly.
lie renewed his clutch on Unterberg'a
elbow, but the latter shook himself
free and strode angrily away. Morris
gazed after him, shrugged once or
twice aud. resuming his sample case,
continued toward the buyers' office,
with his assistant close at his heels.
Mr. Fishblatt greeted him in person.
"Ah, Mr. Perlmutter," he said, ex
tending a large patronizing hand, "glad
to see you, even though I'm afraid I
can't do much business with you to
day. We're somewhat overstocked In
our cloak department."
"Mr. Fishblatt, don't say that!" Mor
ris cried. "A busy concern like this
ain't never overstocked. Walt, now,
Just a moment, and I'll show you our
style forty-twenty-two, especially in
sizes sixteen, seventeen and eighteen."
Mr. Fishblatt leisurely examined
Perimutter's line, and when Morris de
parted he bad procured a record break
ing order. It had been obtained only
after much protest from Mr. Fish
blatt and a great deal of anxious per
suasion by Morris, so that he felt Just
ly proud of his achievement.
"Well, Mawruss," Abe said Ironical
ly as his partner re-entered the store,
"I suppose you got rid of all them for
ty-twenty -twos."
"Why not?" Morris murmured.
"A tine chance," Abe retorted bit
terly.
"And all sixteens, seventeens and
elghteens," Morris went on calmly;
"also them old princess styles and one
gross style forty-one-twenty-flve."
Abe's lower Jaw dropped.
"l'ou struck It good, Mawruss. what?"
he said.
For answer Morris spread ou; to his
partner's astonished gaze a thousand
dollar order.
"Mr. Fishblatt himself gave It to
me," Morris said.
Abe took the paper and read It over
twice; then he went to the customers*
E to J first and second credit box and
lit himself a fine cigar. For ten min
utes he blew reflective rings at the
patent sprinkler and finally gave voice
to his thoughts.
"Mawruss," he said, "tjie Boston
Storo doi>£ always a good business,
ain't it*"
"And Kugel & Ftohblatt Is two pret
ty good smart boys, ain't It?"
"Sure."
"And always pays prompt, ain't It?"
"That's right," said Morris.
"Then why Is It they never buy
nothing bat seconds from us In two
and three hundred dollar orders, and
today they Jumped us to a thousand?
It looks suspicious anyhow, ain't it?"
Then It was that Morris told of his
encounter with Dnterberg.
"Abe, I fflvo you my word," hi said,
"he abused me like a pickpocket. He
says I'm always stealing his best cus
tomers. He Just sold 'em a big bill
this very morning, and you know, Abe,
if Kugel & Fishblatt was at all shaky
Philip Unterberg ain't looking for no
orders from them. He gets it good
last week already from Mengel Bros.
& Gunst, and he ain't taking no more
chances, ain't It?"
"You're right, Mawruss," Abe re
plied. 'Thll'.p Ur ferberg ain't going to
get bitten twice. If Philip Unterberc
can sell 'em, I guess we can, too; what?
V'y don't you bay soiuedlngs?"
"Sure," Morris agreed.
Inside of ten days the Boston Store,
Kugel &. Fishblatt, proprietors, receiv
ed the lust shipment of the I'otash &
Perlmutter order.
One morning, six weeks later, Abe
Totasb came down early, and proceed
ed at oucc to open the firm's mall.
First he shuttled the envelopes over,
but on none of them could he see tho
trademark of Kugel & Fishblatt. By
the time his partner arrived he had
opened every letter. Not one envelope
contained the Information that he de
sired.
"Mawruss," he said, "why ain't we
got no check from Kugel & Fishblatt
yet? Their account is two weeks over
due."
"You must have always something
to worry about," Morris replied.
"They're all right. I seen rhlllp Unter
berg this morning. He don't look wor
ried. Why, he smiled at me and shook
hands like we was lodge brothers."
"I know," Abe said. "That's all
right, too; but Just the same I like to
