Subject to the call of President l..
Newman. the United Milk River Irri-
cation association OF the Milk river
valley nat at Harlem, Tuesday after
noon Of this week for the purpose of
electing officers for the ensuing year,
receiving and acting upon the report
OF the committee sent to Washington
last summer and for the transaction
OF such other business as might nat
crally come before the meeting. On
account of the blockade on the rail-
roads the attendance was light, but
the enthusiasm was Of the right sort
and tho work OF the association will
be pushed the coming year with even
more determination than in the past.
Before proceeding with the roll call,
the cid question of allowing proxies to
vote At thse meetings was submitted
auh the members decided In favor of
allowing, representation by proxy.
However, after roll call, and on the
showing that the proxies outnumb-
cred those present, the association re-
considered their former action and de-
cIdel against the use of proxies.
The report OF the committee, Messrs
Thomas M. Everett, of Harlem, and
John Willis of Glasgow, who were
sent to Washington by the association
early in the season was read, accept
ed, and the committee discharged
with vote of thanks.
The following interesting letter, or
rather salient extracts from the same,
from Senator Thomas H. Carter, was
read and the same placed ON file A
nong other things, Senator Carter
said:

regret I feel at my inability to attend

It is rumored that an attempt will be made at the. next session of Congress to raise the salaries of senators and representatives, on the ground that many ot them could make mere than they do at present in private business. The latter part of the argument may be true, yet, quality considered, we believe the government is now pay ing all exhsrbitant price for its leg islation.

Nome business men are, kicking and we'll they may, over the fact that the government only allows two clerks-in the Nome postoffice. The first batch of mail reaching Nome thisspring gamounted to nine tons, and in order to- get their mail in any kind of season the business men of the town were compelled to hire extra clerks themselves.

The Alaska prospector., 1906-07-12

Not satisfied with having run the convention last winter. to suit them selves, Seattleites- are now seeking proxies in Alaska that they may have a voice in the republican convention at Juneau. No one Tot blessed with a superabundance of the, Seattle Spirit" commonly designated as "gall", would have the face to make such proposi- tion. Several ofthese Seattle Alas kans. among them 9. J. Hum phrey. who last writer was chosen by the Seattle convention, ostensibly to represent tie Third Division of Alaska, but in reality to work for Dick Ryan of Nome, have sent in request for the Val dez proxies: o. J. Humphrey has no interests in Alaska whatever other than what he may make out Jf the country with his steamships: an d his request for proxies is an exhibition of unsurpassed nerve. and a reflection upon the common sense of the people of the town.

The Sc attle P.-I. editorially ridi- cules the Mayor of Portland be- cause the latter bewails the fact that there is no steamship line from that city to Alaska. 1: says "there aint going to be no' steam ship line from.P Portland to Alaska, " and intimates that Seattle has a
 strangle hold on the Alaska busi- ness and proposes to keep it. One of these. days Seattle may wake up tSthe fact that the hold has 5ee,t.broken and if not Portland, some other city will by fair treat
 ment and reasonable prices, get the

pentine into bucket which is about
the size of nail key. The contents
of the bucket are turned into barrel
and carted to the still, which may be
from one to ten miles away. When
there are from ten to sixteen barrels
the still is filled with the crude tur-
pentine and capped. Heat is then in
troduced beneath, and if necessary
little water is added. The heat drives
the vapor out of the crude product
and into a condenser, where the hot
vapor meets a worm or coil of copper,
which is filled with cold water. The
vapor is condensed into spirits of tur
Dentine and is run off into a barrel.
(See cut, Drawing off the Spirits.'O
After the vapor has been all driven
off the cap is removed from the top
of the still Water is introduced to
aid in separating the trash from the
rosin, and as much as possible of this
trash is raked and scooped out.
At the bottom of the still is tap,
from which what remains of the crude
turpentine is drawn off into screens

made of wire, the meshes of each
screen being graduated, until the low
er screen is very fine copper wire
with cotton batting, so that the final
result is a clear. beautiful amber-col-
Ored product known as rOsin.
This company own thousands of
acres of land in this county, giving
labor to fifty-eight workmen. Mr.. D.
B. Paxton and S. B. Wilson are the
principal stockholders. Mr.. Paxton has
direct charge of the work here and
Mr.. Wilson spends a large part of
each week in Jacksonville. Both are
very fond of hunting and find much
pleasure in bagging coon, squirrel,
deer and quail. which are so plentiful
among the palmetto hammocks skirt
ing the St. Johns river.
We caught them on their return
from three hours hunt, so you may
Judge by the picture what sort of
hunting we have.
Within four hours drive from either
shore of the St. Johns river may be
found turkey, deer, bear, quail, doves,
>quirred and coons. The law limits
the number of quail, deer and turkey
that may be killed and none may be
sold. 1t is a liberal law, however.
Mr.. Wilson is a man of esthetic
taste The garden about his beautiful
home in DeLand is a marvel of bloom.
He takes especial pride in growing
those flowers that are supposed to
succeed only in the cold North. His
chrysanthemums are unequaled. Pan
sizes. roses, violets, geraniums, dahlias
and Gamma lilies vie with each other in
furnishing bloom through the season.
Mr.. Wilson finds that plenty of ma
nure, combined with irrigation and
culture, insures success.
He is looking forward to the day
when the lands from which he is now
taking turpentine and cutting timber
will bloom into flower and fruit gar
dens and hold forests of pecans, peach
and orange.

One of the most interesting and
profitable experiences we have had
in the vicinity of DeLand was a visit
to the turpentine farm of the Naval
Stores Company. This company has
an office in the Lands & Fish build
ing. One of their principal camps is
about two miles out.
In selecting lands for turpent1ning
the Naval Stores Company seek those
lands which are near to transportation.
1t does not pay to haul the turpentine
and rosin more than sixteen miles.
Necessarily the lands should be we'll
timbered, and quality of timber call
ed slash generally found growing on
wet or swampy land carries more sap
than the pines of the higher and drier
lands The land once selected, a
building is erected for the protection
of the copper still. Necessary habita
tons are also built for the working
force which is generally made UP of
negroes with two or three white men
ly very comfortable, and commissary
for the providing of necessary food,
wearing apparel, etc, is kept on the
ground
The men are divided into gangs for
boxing, clubbing and hacking. The
box, which is necessary to hold the
drip of the crude turpentine, is a huge
tta hxr fto
men, who use what is called box ak.
They then use a club ak for cornering
This cornering makes a hollow guide
for the drip of the sap to go into the
box During the first year what cut
ting is done is called the virgin cut.
Every week a man goes around
among his crop of trees, which may
comprise from eight to ten thousand
chips gouge-shaped cut. (See il
lustration marked "Chipping'O. The
instrument used is called a hack, and
the workmen become very expert,
sometimes making a crop in from
three to four days, and having the
remainder of the week for their own
amusement and recreation. Very nat
urally the turpentine business is
favorite work with the negroes. They
are very happy about it, singing and
expressing their joy in life by yells
and calls to distant co-laborers. Those
who are studying the negro problem
in its different phases should certainly
visit turpentine farm. Their income
ranges from five to ten dollars a week.
This chipping makes what is called
a streak, and it takes four streakes,
or four weeks work, to fill the box
at the foot of the tree with the crude
turpentine Then it is ready to dip.

DECORATIONS on Grounds.
The irrigation congress grounds will
tonight be glow of incandescent
lights. In a space of less than two
blocks there are more than 1000
lights. OF these, about 1000 are aerial
decorations above the pavilion, colors
white and green, lights and pendants
alternating, ranged in an artistic
manner. Inside the pavilion about
200 lights have been placed in a
manner to thoroughly light the ex-
hibits. These are also white and
green. On the arch, at the entrance
to the grounds. are 500 lights, all
white, except the emblems of the Ma
tional Irrigation association, which are
an intermingling of the congress col
ors. The band stand has 200 white
lights.
The feature of the electrical decora-
tions is the emblem of the National
Irrigation association, a Hindoo en-
blem Of great antiquity one of which
has been placed on each of the piers
at the entrance to the grounds. The
emblem resembles two letters and is
known as the Swasteka. The Swas-
teka is the rabbits foot of Hindoostan.
1t is a symbol of good luck AS Hin
doostan is an arid country, the en-
blem in time became associated with
rain and hence became the emblem of
the rain god of that country 1t ante
dates written history and Is said to
be one of the oldest extant. 1t was
adopted a few years ago as the en-
blem of the National Irrigation asso-
citation.
