_|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.
