FUTURE KITE. SHAPED TRACK.

NhNAO 10 AhOAO ehoh
that unless there is an organized
movement among those who desire to
see an interest in the light harness
horse business maintained and pro-
noted in independence, the kite track
and Rush Park will pass out of exis.
tence as a training ground on the first
of May. Two years ago the track was
leased for a term of three years by F.
d. Rockwell and j. M. Marquette,
and offered to horsemen for training
purposes. Last year Me I. w. New.
ton came into the partnership, and
many trainers from abroad were at
tracted here. Mr.. Newton, having
sold Early Reaper and all his colts in
training, is no longer interested in
keeping up the track, and has dropped
out. Messrs. Rock we'll and Marc cite
do not feel that they are warranted in
assuming alone the expense of the
rental and care of the track. and Mr.
Campbell has consented to relieve
them from further obligations under
the lease and take the property back
May LIST. What disposition he will
make of it is not known, but it is
probable that the stalls, amphitheatre,
etc.. will be removed and the ground
converted to agricultural purposes.
Such fate for the historic track has
been imminent twice before in the
past few years, but just at the critical
moment some public spirited citizen,
or body OF citizens, has stepped in and
stayed the hand of the dismantler.
Just before the lease was made two
years ago the track had been disked
and sowed with grass seed. With the
cooperation of a number of others. so
that the loss, if there should be any.
would not fall heavily on any one.
Mr.. Rockwell would undertake to
keep the track up for another year. IL
is popular as a training ground, and
the location here during the summer
OF large number of trainers, with
their helpers and horses, means the
expenditure of considerable amount
OF money with our business men. It
is up to them to say whether they
have interest enough in the matter to
take hold and keep the track up. In

MAKE HAY IN WINTER.

Making hay in March may sound
rather strange, but this is exactly
what the farmers across the river from
Clinton, Iowa, are doing in what is
known as the Meredocia bottoms,
which contain hundreds of thousands
of acres of splendid hay. The hay
crop on these bottoms last year was
unusually heavy, but owing to the
wet weather the farmers were unable
to cut the crop. The farmers made up
in the deficiency of hay crop by feed
ing corn fodder and cut straw. A few
days ago farmer looked over his
large hay field and noted the fact that
the frozen ground was covered with
tons of hay, we'll cured and which
would bring a good price on the
market. He did some pretty deep
thinking and concluded that he could
cut the hay and harvest it while the
ground was frozen. He got out his
mower and rake and went to work.
lie soon had large field cut down
and went to work Immediately raking
it up. 1t was we'll cured and it was
not necessary to leave il on the ground
to dry. In fact the rake followed
the mower. 1t was found the hay
could be harvested as easily in winter
as in August. Other farmers follow
ed his example and now one may hear
the CHATTER of the mowers over the
frozen ground from morning until
night and the barns are now being
filled with hay worth $40 ton.
There has been but little snow in this
section this winter and the hay has
not even been broken down.

The Road.

The contract for the plank road was let last Saturday to H. G. Slater and Bert Webster. Their bid was S3 cents per foot, and they gave bond in the sum of $500 to complete the work by September 15. They started work Monday morning.
 This road has been the one thing needful for some years, and now as our hopes are about to be realized, we shall wonder how we ever got along without it. Next winter when the snow is packed and we walk along our nice planked street, we will wonder how we ever walked on that old track; clipping between the rails and sliding of the walk on the ice. Then it will 6s that we will lift up our hearts in thanksgiving. The best thing to pro- mote good feeling and good fellowship between two places is an easy means of communication and without doubt when we can go down to Treadwen and visit our friends and they can come up to see us without endangering their lives on such walk as we have had heretofore, that it will be much better for all of us.
 The road will follow the old track for a considerable distance and then take a straight line for the corner oi the 800 mill.

"Judge Day, who is in Alaska inves-
 tigating the truth of certain charges
 filed against federal officials, has con-
 cluded his work in this division and
 gone on to other fields supposedly ripe for the harvest of official heads. While here Judge Day commended
 himself to our people generally as an
 official earnestly intent upon the faith fuI, honest and impartial performance of the not altogether agreeable duty en- joined upon him, and whatever may be the result of his investigations, few will be willing to believe otherwise than that bis conclusions have been
 honestly arrived at. That some official heads will fall as the result of his in- vestigations is pretty generally be- Iieved, the belief being founded not upon any expression of feeling or
 opinion by Judge Day, but upon the knowledge which could not be con- ceaIed, that the testimony taken in very large measure substantiated the truth of the charges against at least one of the officials under investigation. It is not the province of the Mining Journal to predict results, but that
 Judge Browns career on the Alaskan bench is practically ended seems to be a forgone conclusion. That it ought to
 be summarily ended will be the verdict of very large majority of the people of his judicial division, no matter what
 Judge Day may report as the result of
 his investigation. That the crown rests uneasy on the judicial head, is evidenced by the very evident pertur-
 bation of mind displayed by his honor
 during the past two or three weeks, and
 the fact that he has packed all his be-
 longings and gone to the States osten- sibIy on a three months vacation.
 That he will not return in his present
 capacity in the general belief. Should
 that be the case, be will have left
 Alaska, "unhonored and unsung," leaving behind, save the little coterie
 who were won't to "bend the pregnant
 hinges of the knee that thrift might
 follow fawning," none so poor as to do
 him reference. ."-Ketchikan Journal.
