THIEVES SENTENCED.
Five London young men who were.
arrested in Landon on charges of rob-
bing.;garages at Bayfield, Brucefield
and Varna in the early hours of Sun-
day morning, May 9th, appeared be-
fore Magistrate Reid 'Goderich, on
Monday of this week and elected_ to
be' tried by the magistrate. Through
their counsel, J, M. McEvoy, K,'C,, of
London, all five pleaded guilty to the
charges. Mr. McEvoy read to the
court letters relative to the boys'
characters, and ,called Messrs. Orth
and Hewitt, of London, who gave
testimony on ;behalf of two of the
boys.
The magistrate before passing -sen-
tence endeavored to find out who was
the ringleader of, '" the party or who
suggested the unlucky trip. Sn this
he was unsuccessful, as all claimed
that they did not know who was at
the head of the trip. Gordon • and
Edward Harvey, brothers, were given
each six months to one year in the
Ontario Reformatory; ;Bruce Lauer
and Ronald Rodd three months each
in the county jail and Robt. Davie
two months in the county jail.
The authorities believe these swine
parties: were responsible for similar
thefts a week before this, but these
were not touched. '

FROM THE LAND OF
,,THE MIDNIGHT SUN,
During the past few 'weeks the in-
terest of
n-terest`of the' world has been equally
divided in watching the progress of
the British coal strike and the oper-
ations of bite several ,.polar expedi-
tions. In the newspaper reports
Alaska has occupied a very prominent
place and P s'nc `
t e
the completion
of
Amundsen's trip over the North 'Pole,
frequent mention is made of Point
1BarroW, Teller, !Nome and Fairbanks,
the last named ,p}ace being of interest
to many residents of Huron •county,.
as the home of Mr, and Mrs. W. T.
e Pinkerton, who visited relatives here
last . summer and from whom The
News received this ‘week a most in-
teresting illustrated booklet which
gives a very •complete description of
Fairbanks and Alaska generally for
the benefit of tourists,
It says Fairbanks was founded in
1903, due to a .placer gold discovery
in the neighboring creeks, It now has
a population of 1,800 people, plus a
large transient .population of tourists
and its principal resource still is min-
ing. Most of the enining is placer
mining now done by drifting, but
there is some 'quartz mining, open
eutting,'• hyrdauliking and dredging.
Fairbanks seotion has produced over
$100,000,000, about 14 times the cost
of Alaska when purchased from Rus-
sia by the United States.
Lignitic coal has been found in
many places in the Yukon basin—it is
excellent for domestic use house-
keepers prefer it to bituminous, it is
so clean. It can be handled without
• leaving' any more trace of soil upon
the hands than would glass. This coal
is delivered to one's door in 'Fair-
banks at $8.50 per ton.
'Fairbanks is the center, of the
finest agricultural section of Alaska,
where everything that grows in temp-
erate cliamte can be raised in abund-
ance. While the growing season is
not as long, measured in months as
Ontario, it is just as long, measured
in growing hours, due to almost %con-
tinued sunshine during midsummer.
About 3,000 acres are in cultivation'
near Fairbanks. This would only rep-
resent about three blocks in Mc-
Killop, but there are 2,000,000 -acres
of unimproved, fertile land in the -die
trict. The' Government maintains an
experimental farm there, The wheat
is graded as No. 1 Northern—it aver-
ages 62/ pounds to the bushel, with
10 p.c. moisture. The yield averages
22 bushels to the acre, although some
lands have produced • 56 bushels to
the acre. •
Wholesale . prices on root vege-
tables, locally grown, 'bring from $4
to $6 per 'kindred; wheat. $4.50 per.
hundred; eats $3.75 per hundred;
eggs from 75c to $1.50 per dozen;
chickens' from 65c to $1 per pound;
pork from 25c to 50c per pound, loose
eat hay from $38 to $50 per ton.
The booklet says a "sourdough" is
a person who has wintered in the in-
terior of Alaska and seen the "break-
ip•" The river freezes up and when
pring arrives the ice breaks. It is
popular annual sport to bet on the
xact day, hour, minute, and second
when the ice breaks. Stakes are
riven in the ice and attached by a
ire to a whistle: When the ice
reeks the whistle blows and the
ime is recorded. The one who
tresses the exact time or Comes
the closest, wins the money which
he bettors put up.
Unlike the coast towns of Alaska
which strive for modernity in ap-
earance, Fairbanks retains the ;pic-
uresque exterior of its frontier days.

MADE PRESENTATION,
At the banquet tendered Premier
Ferguson in London on Wednesday
last, Mr. E. 1R. Wigle, M. P. P. for
Centre Huron, had the honor of de-
livering the address accompanying
the presentation of a magnificent sil-
ver candelabrum, the gift of the Wes-
tern Ontario Conservative Associa-
tion. •
Mr. Wigle, in making the pre-
sentation address, characterized his
assignment as a very' pleasant one.
Around the Parliament buildings it
was usual, al he said, id to supplicate cote the.
pP
premier for forfao
P favors, but that
was not
the case on the present occasion The
people of Western Ontario were very
proud of their section of the prov-
ince, said Mr Wigle,'for its agricirl-
tura! development, as illustrative of
which fact hcc't
cited that fruits ru s her
e
are just two
weeks behind the e fruits
imported from Southern climes Mr.
Wigle referred to the visit of the pre-
mier to Great Britain in which the
premier had, he said, tried to inculcate
in the minds of the people of the old
land that Ontario was more than the
name of a province, He believed that
'Hon, Mr. Ferguson's trip overseas
had assisted materially in finding for
the products of Ontario a ready mar-
ket within the empire. As for the
gift of the candelabrum, Mr.,. Wigle
reminded the premier that even as he,
the
speaker awed his is position in the.
Legislature to the indeendent elector,
so also the premier in a measure
owed his position to the independent
elector, whose approval of Mr. Fer-
guson's leadership was represented in
the presentation.
NEW BUS SERVICE.
A new bus service is commencing
this week, operating from Stratford'
to •Goderich, which' will pass through'
Seaforth westbound at 10.05 a.m. and
6.35 prm, and eastbound at 1.55 pan,
and 8.55 p.m. thus giving two services
each way every day, including Sun-
days. Many people locally wonder
at a bus service starting on this route
when there will be a detour from
'Clinton and Goderich, and from Mit-
chell' to Dublin all this summer. A
couple of years ago a bus operated tit
from Stratford to Goderich, but dis- th
continued as it was not a paying co
proposition, and last year' Mr. R T. efe
Mclntosh'ran his bus between Sea- sti
forth and London bet is not doing so ly
