For the 12 months ended June 30, | 1934, United States producers shipped to Alaska $2,234,684 worth of products which this valley could produce. These included beef, pork, mutton, poultry and fresh game, milk, butter, cheese, eggs. potatoes and various fresh and canned vegetables. The largest in-| dividual commodity was $346,000 wortk: of eggs. The second largest was $319,000 worth of beef. Can Supply 15,000 Persons. Matanuska farmers can conceivably sell to about 15,000 persons. Give them the equivalent of one-fourth Alaska's 60,000 population and you concede them about $550,000 of Alaska's import business. Most | | Alaskan experts believe this figire 0o | low. General Director Don Irwin of the colonization project estimates their market at $1,000,000; Roswl Sheely of the University of Alaska | at Fairbanks puts it at $800,000, and | | General Manager O. F. Ohlson of the Alaska Rallroad figures it at $1,500,000. But even taking the $550,000 figure, it is plain that the approximately 200 new valley farmers and the 100 old have more market than they can sup- ply with their surplus products. To reach this total each farmer would have to sell $1.800 worth of produce yearly through the marketing co- operative the Government intends to establish for them through the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corp,, | when and if the colony gets into pro- | duction. [ The backbone of the market is the so-called “railroad belt” served by the Government-owned Alaska rail-| It extends 470 miles from Seward, on the coast, to Fairbanks, in the interior, and includes the environs | of the rail towns. Col. Ohlson says | the belt has 8,000 permanent resi- | dents. | Population Varies Greatly. “You can't tell how much greater the population is in the Summer. when this part of Alaska does most of her work.” the colonel adds. “but the railroad alone employs 1.000 men That is an increase of about 50 per cent over the Winter. I think one out of every five men added comes from the States each Spring and goes ‘outside’ again in the Winter. “Now, then, besides the Winter and Summer railroad belt population, the along Cooks Inlet. Matanuska farmers can extend their market through airplane service to mines. The airplanes carry a great deal of tonnage in fresh meats, eggs | and vegetables. | “I don't believe Alaska can ever | export agricultural commodities. It's| not in the cards, but the railroad belt is all the colonists will need.” | Besides the railroad belt, the Wil- low Creek, Cash Creek and Broad Pass gold mining districts add to the poten- tial market. Anchorage, which prob- ably will become the marketing outlet for the valley, also supplies the Kus- kokwim mining district, part of the Nome country and the fishing hamlets per Alliance. Inc.)

HE grapevine telegraph has nothing on the female of the species when it comes to spreading news. For instance, a Silver Spring hus- band waited nervously in his wife's room at a Washington hospital while his wife was in another part of the hospital attending to the matter of a son and heir. An anxious neighbor cailed the hospital and was informed of the arrival of the son. The anxious neighbor called an- other and told the news. The second called a third until all the closer friends of the family in that area knew about it. The chain letter in its most prosperous days never reached so many people so quickly. Quite some time later the husband, still anxiously waiting in his wife's room, inquired into the matters of moment at the hospital. “Didn’t you know?" asked a nurse. | “You had a son born about an hour | ago.” * %% NO GUNS ON SUNDAY.

KITCHEN MYSTERY. 'HE latest Georgetown mystery might be entitled: “If figures never lie, what became of those dishes?” A married couple in that part of the city recently entertained a guest from out of town for a week. Upon her arrival they noticed an increase of 50 per cent in the number of dishes the maid had to wash. Upon her departure they noticed the number of dishes the maid had to bathe had fallen off by only 33!3 per cent. Did the refined visitor take away with her some of their best tableware, or did the maid just meet with another of those unfortunate accidents? * ¥ ok x SAILOR WANTS TO DIG. Capt. William D.

CHICAGO, August 6.—Acting Chief | Justice Cornelius J. Harrington in Criminal Court yesterday ordered an immediate trial of Mrs. Evelyn Smith | and Mrs. Blanche Dunkel, charged | with the “torso” murder of Mrs. Dun- kel's son-in-law, Ervin Lang. Mrs. Smith, 47-year-old former “Only ONE QUALITY and that’s the BEST” burlesque stepper, said by the police to have admitted garrotting Lang and cutting off his legs, elected to be tried without a jury. Mrs. Dunkel, who the police say confessed promising Mrs. Smith $500 for the slaying, demanded a jury trial. Judge Harrington said he would grant both wishes and ordered a se- lection of the jury to begin at once. He said that after the evidence was in he would rule on Mrs. Smith’s case, and leave the decision on Mrs. Dunkel to the jury. Gas Used Extensively.
