Lewislonj Me., Aug. 30.—This
completes the fourth day of Gov
ernor Marshall's campaign in this
state. Wherever he has spoken he
has been given a great ovation. He
addressed an imemnse audience
here last night and was enthu
siastically received, lie said that
trusts were foes of opportunity
and closed the door of hope l«> the

Valdez can congratulate herself
in having been so well represent

Congress without having been
weighted down with the dike ap

the press of election matters that
we were not notified of the pifss

heavy passenger list is because of
an exodus <>f miners as the re-1
sii11 of placer mining on Seward
Peninsula and in the Yukon val

water fololwiug the small snow
fall of last winter. The gold out-l

HOME MOT
IS TO BE USED
T*nana Citizens Find the Home
Grown Potato to be Superior
to Outeide Article
After I In* experience of dealers
and householders with I ho outside
potatoes which were so dceidediy
inferior tin's last winter, many
have decided to depend entirely
upon ti»e native grown spud this
coming season, for they have he
come convinced that the tuber
raised on the upland or sidehill
soil cannot be surpassed.
It is true that the gardens of
the flats atTeeted successively by
drpughth, frosts and cold weather
are not looking nearly as well this
season as they ddi las| year, but
the flats at best are not adapted
o the growth of potatoes and their
product never competes with the
outside product.
On the hillsides a different
state of atTairs is found, for the
gardens there are apparently just
the same as in other seasons and
will produee I lie same lii^h clas-s
potatoes.
The present indication js that
the potato crop from the hills • «»
tin' north and upper Tanana will
be as large and probably larger
han last season.-News_Miner.
