Special to The Journal
Long Prairie, Mimi, Jan. 27.--Walter Hogan,
of Pillsbury, Todd county, after a study or
many years. has discovered what will be of
interest to poultry men everywhere. : He has
perfected a theory concerning the possibility to

which will be good. layers. Mr. Hogan asserts
he can go thru henyard and select without
any hesitation the fowls that are yielding their
owners good profit and those which should be
killed because Of their Inability to lay. 1t has
passed the experimental stage with him, for
he has succeeded in convincing poultry experts
and hard-headed business men in different. parts
Of the country that he can do what be says
The state experimental stations are not given
to wasting much time on mere theories, and the
fact that the Minnesota experimental station
at Crookston has put Mr.. Hogan's theory to
the severest tests, and is enthusiastic in praise
of it, speaks something of its real value to
poultry raisers.: The following from the January

The French fleet which arrived eff the

visit received great welcome, which
was supplemented by further enthusi

entertained at Guildhall. The visit
ing squadron was met in Middle Chan

escorted to the anchorage where the
Atlantic fleet was waiting to welcome
them. The visit of the French YES

welcome is the best assurance that the

recently accorded the British fleet by
France Tomorrow the French sail

board of helath to 6 p. m. yesterday:
New cases, 63; total to date, 679.
Deaths. Z: total to date, 119.
New sub-foci, 70; total to date, 130.
Cases under treatment, 265.
The first day since the fever appear
ed here in which there was any ap-
parent depression in the community
was yesterday, and there are two rea-
sons for it. One was the death of Arch
bishop Chapelle. who succumbed to an
attack of the prevailing illness, and
the other was the general closing of
stores in accordance with the mayors
proclamation urging everybody in the
city to close and devote the day to a
geenral cleaning up. While the death
of the distinguished prelate is deplor-
ed by the loss which the community
sustains, it is also regretted because
of the effect it will have upon the
outside world. It Is feared that it
will cause the belief to spread that
conditions here are really much
worse than they are. The records are
now being issued under the auspices
of the marine hospital service, which
vouches for their correctness.
Quite a number of the cases are in
close proximity to existing sub-foci,
indicating secondary infection. The
new sub-foci are evenly divided, six
being above and six below Canal
street. One is in a hotel, and the pa
tient is well-known citizen. In the

A report gained currency on the
streets this morning that the Arkan.
sas and Texas Ice and Coal company
and the Consumers Ice and Coal com.
pany had entered into an agreement
relative to the price of ice in the city,
and that as result thereof, the price
of the commodity would soon take

said that this agreement was entered
into at the recent meeting of the
stockholders of the Consumers cCmpa.
ny, which was held last Monday night.
A reporter for the Graphic investigat.
denied at the Offices of the Arkansas
company, where it was stated that
no such agreement was contemplated.
The two companies have long been
in keen competition with each other,
and the Arkansas company has been
holding down the price of ice. Re-
ports of an agreement were rife on
the streets on several other previous
occasions, but proved to be unfounded.
