_|WISH TO ACQUIRE:

_ALASKAN PANHANDLE

Ottawa, Feb. 17:--The British
Columbia members intend to
draw the attention, of parliament
and the government during this
session to the question of Canada
opening negotiations for the turn-
ing over of the Alaskan panhan-
dle, now owned by the United
States, to the Dominion. The
question will probably be brought
up by Dr. Thompson, member
for the Yukon, and he will be
supported by the British Colum-
bia members, and also by the
Alberta representatives, who are
to a lesser degree interested,

The Alaskan panhandle con-
sists of islands of the Alexander
Archipelago and a strip of coast
on the mainland running south
from Alaska proper as far as the
fifty-fourth degree. It consists
of a fringe along the British
Columbia coast no less than 536
miles long and fram eight ta
thirty-five miles wide, shutting
off the Yukon territory, the
northern half of British Columbia
and the entire Mackenzie Basin
from free access to the Pacifie
Coast. Northern Alberta is also
shut off from free aceess to the

sea, and as that northern ecoun-

try develops this promises to bea
serious menace to its prosperity.

The history of the panhandle
is interesting: Alaska originally

belonged to. Russia, ‘fhe tradera
of the great Russian-American
Trading Co., coming across the
northern Pacific, followed the
line of easiest communication,
and planted their stations along
the coast, while the Hudson’s
Bay Co., coming from the east,
had spread its network of posts
from the interior westward,
When the two companies came
into collision the two -govern-
ments found it necessary to de-
fine their respective spheres, and
this they naturally did in accord-
ance with existing interests,
The coast, with the Ruasian sta-
tions, was given to Russia: the
interior, with the Hudson's Bay
Co, stations, to the British com-
pany.. When the United States
purchased Alaska it secured also
the panhandle, : v

The British Columbia members
will propose that the Canadian
government take the matter up
with the United States and the
Imperial government with a
view to making some exchange
of territory, British Honduras
and British Guiana, both , being
suggested,

Peace River Agriculture
Edmonton, Feb, 18:— John
Harris, formerly of Oklahoma,
and H, L. Adair, of Sonthern
Alberta, have the distinetion of
taking the first steam plows into
the Peace River country, north

of the 66th parallel- of" latitude,
where they will engage in grain
growing and mixed farming.

Harris has a tract of 4,000 acres!

in the Grande Prairie district,
and Adair bas between 4,500 and
5,000 acres near Lake Saskatoon,
in Northwestern Alberta. These
plows will break from 40 to 60
acres of land in 16 hours, work-
ing two shifts. Harris is plan-
ning to break 2,400 acres this
spring, and seed it to wheat and

barley,. which he will feed. to| ~

stock next winter. Heads of im-
plement houses in Edmonton re-
port that twenty steam plows
have heen contracted for deliv-
ery during April and May. This
means that many’ thousands of
acres of virgin lands will be brok-
en and cultivated this year.
