JOHN O'CONNOR RAISES POTATOES
He Has as Fine a Patch of Spuds as Are to Be Found Here.
Visitors at the John O'Connor farm, 6 miles out on the Valdez trail, where there
is a side-hill on this side of the slough, declare that he has one of the finest
patches of potatoes in the camp, not even excepting those of Henry Hanford and
other farmers who have hillside tracts.
O'Connor has 2 acres in potatoes, all showing large, thrifty tops of uniform
growth, and promising a good crop of fine quality tubers. The hillside potato is
conceded to be of as fine quality as any that can be imported, and several
storekeepers this year are going to depend entirely on the local crops, not
having ordered a pound of chechaco spuds.

FIELD ENTERED BY NEW FIRM
New Hardware and Machinery Depot Established on Garden Island.
ERCHINGER & FERGUSON.
Both Partners Have a Wide Acquaintance in this Camp.
A new hardware firm is entering the list of Fairbanks business houses today; a
new firm with well-known experienced local men at the head, the partnership
being that of Ray Erchinger and Roy Ferguson, both formally with Brumbaugh &
Hamilton.
For the hardware and machinery business which they are to conduct, the
proprietors have selected quarters in the Alaska citizen building of garden
island, where they will be able to greet old friends with a list of prices as
low as any in the field today.
Because the decision to enter the field was made late in the season, Erchinger &
Ferguson could not get in orders of stock from the Outside and so have made
arrangements with some of the local dealers for their first year supplies.
Ray Erchinger, or the new firm, has been with the Brumbaugh & Hamilton company
for six years passed, during the last two years of which he has been manager. He
has a wide acquaintanceship on the creeks through his extensive dealings on
behalf of the other firm.
Roy Ferguson has been with Brumbaugh & Hamilton for two years and is also
thoroughly familiar with the business.
Prompt deliveries and good service will be two of the main objects of the new
business house.
