question which company should have
the contracts signed by Sedgwick

pany to Julesburg Thursday of last

his company offered to contract for the
growing Of beets upon considerably
better terms than those offered by the
Eaton company.
During the progress of the meeting
Tuesday T. telegram was received by
l.. E. LoVelaud from the Eaton com
pany in which that company's offer
was increased 25 cents per ton for
beets. This modification of the Eaton
company's contract placed the propo-

No matter what the nature of the med.
icine, IL is generally made up into enor-
nous pills whose naturally bad taste is
modified by nothing but little liCOrice,
These pills are inclosed in wax capsules
which preserve them from the air and
keep them from being broken to pieces
before their time.
aside from the pills, the only RENE
dies used by orthodox Chinese in PHI
ladelphia are medicinal oil, which
they rub on the temples to cure head
ache, and "A liquid made by boiling
down the leaves, stems, seeds and roots
of certain plants in u quantity of drink
ing water. According to my authority
this fluid medicine is even worse than
the pills, for il has to be cooked till
it is almost like syrup and drunk scald-
ing hot"

FOX CULTURE
AS A BUSINESS
A DOZEN VENTUREsOME AMERI-
CANS WHO ARE RAISING BLUE
FOXES AS A VOCATION.

The success of the Alaskan CONNER
cial Company in raising blue foxes in
the Aleutian Islands has attracted
nearly a dozen venturesome Ameri-
cans, who have engaged in the same
business. Though having little labor to
perform, these men live in complete
storm-swept isolation while waiting for
their herds to multiply.
Chris Willer who has just reached
Tacoma from Kodiak, says that fox
raiser5 consider three things necessary
to get successfully started. They first
lease one of the Aleutian Islands from
the Federal Commissioner at Kodiak,
paying a yearly rental of 81. Next they
purchase their breeding foxes from the
Alaska Commercial Company at $40
pair; thirdly, they usually proceed to
one of the Indian camps and purchase
themselves a squaw wife, paying from
$25 to SO, according to the beauty and
age.
Olaf Bjornsen, who started six years
ago with twenty foxes, now has 500.
He declares he will not sell until he can
realize $4,000, when he will make
cleanup and return to his Eastern
home. Foxes live on dried salmon and
thrive on it like Alaskan dogs.

TALKS BY ONE
OF OUR VISITORS
MISS CONAN OF WELLESLEY
TELLS OF SOME OF THE THINGS
SHE SAW HERE.

Miss Katherine Conan, professor of
economics at Wellesley College, who is
off on her Sabbatical year, studying the
| industrial conditions in the United
States, has returned from a month of
investigation of labor conditions in the
Hawaiian Islands. While in the islands
Professor Conan met many planters
and labor leaders and visited sugar
plantations on Oahu, Hawaii and Maui,
obtaining the general attitude on the
labor problem, leavened with her own
personal observation.
While in the Hawaiian group, Profess
sor Conan was particularly interested
in the sugar plantations and the diff
hculty of securing men for that work
She says that she found labor very
scarce in the fields for white men claim
they cannot stand the heavy and diff
hcult work under such enerVating con-
ditions. The only white men on the
plantations are mechanics, the field
hands being japanese and Chinese, and
the latter, according to Professor CO.
man, are steadily growing less owing
to the exclusion act. She believes that
the japanese do well under coop
erative system, but that they are not
so manageable as the Chinese. The
agricultural employees wages have ris-
en- from $l5 to $50 since the exclusion
act. AS the houses, fuel, furniture
and medical attendance are supplied
these men by their employers, the wage
Is fair one.
Professor Conan learned that the
planters all favored a restricted form
of Chinese immigration, and hoped to
obtain such an amendment to the eX-
clusion law. The labor leaders. Pro-
lessor Conan states while not 50 unan-
imous in their opinion as the planters,
favored the proposal, because they said
they did not feel that the plantations
could be provided with white labor
The Labor Council had not been tho
roughly organized, Professor Conan
was told until this question drew the
workers together There are three
branches of unions on the islands, the
men of the building trades the typo
graphical workers and the iron laborers
There are two councils of building
trades, that of the contractors and that
of their employees. The master build
ers were more generally in favor of the
restricted admission Of Chinese than
We're the members of the Federal coun-
ell. White men do not compete with
the Chinese in the unskilled forms of
work. buL the Chinese do compete with
the whites in some of the skilled trades
and therein Professor Conan found
that the objection to the yellow men
lies.
Since leaving Wellesley in June. Pro-
fessor Conan studied the Industrial
conditions Of the Northwest, in Wash
ington and Oregon, before her trip to
the islands. on next Wednesday
morning she leaves for the Southern
States to investigate the question of
child labor and other problems.

else in the room was as dry as the
humid atmosphere of a city after a
thunder storm would allow.
That's my barometer" said the
prophet 81 killed the snake myself in
Florida and had it stripped, The skin
is not tanned, but just preserved, like
rawhide. l had noticed in some Of the
coasting boats along the Gulf shore lit
tie strips of snake skin hung up i'm the
cabin. The captains had told me that
they could always tell when a squall
was coming by watching this skin. 1
have had that for three years now, and
it has been far more accurate than the
weather observer. No matter when
the first indications of storm make
themselves felt i'm the atmosphere,
whether it be night or day, summer
or winter, the faithful skin shows it
by beginning to sweat. If the storm
pass off the drops dry up and the
skin crisps and shrivels until it is more
like sandpaper than anything else. In
winter of course, the sweat is not so
profuse, because the air is drier than
in summer.

sensitive to changes i'm atmospheric

ed expert snake handlers and students

rattler's skin exclusively for their ca
bin barometers. There's something

admit but it tells the truth as accu~
rately as the most expensive glass that
/ was ever constructed; and all it cost
