SAVE MONEY
this winter by saving fuel. Coal is expensive
in this country and the stove that gives the

one you want. The
heater is the simplest and best regulated stove
on the market and burns 25 per cent less fuel
than any other-this means a saving of
Twenty-Five cents on every sack of coal at One
Dollar per.
Why burn up thai extra two-bits?
We have four different sizes and extra parts.

HESS MADE
IN AGRICULTURE1
I
Experiment Stations Are Succeeding
In Raising Good Potatoes
In Alaska.
WASHINGTON, I). (\, October 20.
Tlie annual report of the Alaska ex
periment stations for 1911, which has
been made public by tho depanjment.
agriculture shows an unusual activity
in agricultural pursuits 'in the ter
ritory and successful crops and exper
iments. In spite of drawbacks and
the skeptical feeling of officials of,
the stations, considerable progress,
was made in experiments in smallj
fruits and apple-growling. This es
j pecially is the case in Yellow Trans
parent, Sylvan ISweet, Whitney, Hy- j
:»lop, and in Crab varieties. Tests!
I are now being made with Un» I'wr-j
! loss, Martha, Lowell. Tetofsky, Eu-j
reka, Briar Sweet, Transcendant, j
! Hibernal, Red June, Iowa Beauty'
! Early Harvest, and a number of oth-:
! ers. Successful t«osts were made:
'with some varieties of cherries, riir-1
; rants and raspberries.
I Ti»e most encouraging tests mad*'
were with vegetables, and Mho results'
• obtained were highly satisfactory. Ofj
• these crops the report says:
"The potato is by long odds the
'most important vegetable grown in
j Alaska. It constitutes a very impor-i
; taut item in tho people's diiet. Kvery-J
body uses it; everybody knows how]
jto grow it; and with proper can1 it 1
]can be grown all over the territory.!
But in spite of *|iis, several thousand i
(tons are imported into Alaska every j
year. About 100,000 tons are ship
ped into the Fairbanks region aionej
each summer from the I'uge^ Sound
district. It -is maintained that "out
side" potatoes are drier and meal
ier than those grown in Alaska, and
they therefore, bring a higher price
•in ithe market than do native-grown
potatoes. It is dertiied that Alaska
grown potatoes are of inferior qual
ity. It Is true of some varieties
when grown under poor culture in
j wet soil, but it is not true of all va
\ rieties. It is the function of the j
J experiment stations to ascertain
i which varieties are best adapted to j
jihe country, and for this purpose a!
j large number of varieties are grown
| on a very small scale. These are j
then compared to each other as to ^
yield and quality, and the inferior
ones are rejected, while the best
ones are distributed among those who
may wish to try them. The reason
! some varieties are undesireable is(
due to the fact that the tubers do
! not fully mature. The starch grains
are not normally developed in iinnitt- •
jture potatoes, and the tuber becomes
jsoft and "soggy" when cooked.

' As everybody in Vahle/. knows, the
I town and Reservation school board
have acted in concert for several
years maintaining one school with tin*
funds at the disposal of each, used
as one fund. The result of this has
boon to maintain a better school
than either the town or the lleservii- j
