The RAILROAD SERVICE
It Was Excellent During Corn Palace
Week and Contributed Much
to the Success.
to the Success

For the first time in the history
OF the corn palace the railway service
for that event was sufficient to give
everybody an opportunity to come to
Mitchell.
The Milwaukee road was particu-
larry liberal to render a special SER
vice when it rendered Mitchell
fourteen special trains. They were
run from all directions of the system
anG there was not a day but what
the cars were filled with the people.
More than that the trains were run
on TINE and got the people here
So that they could enjoy themselves
for the full day. Excursion Agent
Walker was placed in Mitchell a
month before the palace opened to
get things started right and he spent
a great deal of time III travelling over
the proposed excursion territory in
advertising the palace and the special
trains, and as a result Mr.. Walker
did not fail on his estimate of the
amount of business that the company
would do in the course of a week.
The company now realizes more than
ever before that With a good train
service that the people will not hang
back on coming to Mitchell, and
next year there will not be the
slightest difficulty in securing a
service that is equally as good as this
year, il not better. The Milwaukee
people are taking sufficient interest
in the corr palace now to indicate
that they are going to stand by the
proposition.
The Omaha road furnished two
special trains during the week, and
brought crowds right along. The
regular service every day OF the week
was particularly good for passengers
north Of Salem, and there was not &
day but what the coaches were
jammed with people, and the las,
day there were nearly 400 passengers
on the train coming in from thu
east.
Mitchell is indebted 10 the twt
roads for the splendid service ant
next year will expect somethin,
equally as good. If not better.

Diphtheria Didn't Scare.

Woonsocket Herald: The Milwau-
kee Railway Co. has been doing a
Dig business this week on its line
cunning through this city, on
account of the Corn Belt exposition
being held at Mitchell. From the
Start the corn palace has been re-
celvlnp all the patronage it could
well handle and the report that diph-
liberia was prevalent in Mitchell
seems to have made little difference
in the attendance. 1t seems chat
the report was started by some
ma!aciously disposed party or faction
as Investigations have failed to
reveal any cases of the alleged disease
in Our sister town.

Took In $1,000 Each.

The fact that there was a large
crowd in Mitchell during corn palace
week is attested by the amount of
business that was done ty the Pres
byterian, Methodist and Catholic
churches. each of which served meals
every day during the week. Each
society took in $1,000, and the crowds
we're we'll taken care OF every day.

THE BuRcH BROS. BUSINESS.

During the past month one of the
most significant happenings in connec-
ton with the development of the agri-
cultural industry has transr ired. This
was the amendment of the papers of in
corporation of Burch Brothers, whole
sale poultry, in that they have increas-
ed the capital of the firm to $4,000 to
be enabled to go after the poultry trade
of the northwest in good earnest.
It is with pleasure that The Ranch
chronicles this matter, because it has
been one of the most devoted adherents
to the poultry idea in this state, and 1t
is glad to note that the industry is in
creasing to such an extent that Burch
Brothers are able to put additional cap
ital into the business of receiving and
distributing the poultry of the north
west. In speaking Of the matter to a
reporter for The Ranch Mr.. Ralrh
Burch, the head of the firm, said:
IT came to Puget Sound about fifteen
years ago with the intention of going
into the poultry business in wholesale
way. I had known of its development
in Minnesota, from which state I came
here, but I was astonished to find that
there was no poultry industry in the
state and towards all efforts to develop
the same I was met with the strangest
indifference. No one seemed to care
whether there was money in poultry or
not and my efforts to develop 1t at that
time utterly failed.
About five years later, however. I
entered business with a stand down on
the docks and from then on it has been
a hard fight to get enough local poultry
to count. I have had to depend on my
eastern and storage shipments for the
greater bulk of my business. In fact,
have never understood why everyone
seemed to fight shy of the poultry bust

Washington each year more than six
hundred carloads of poultry and poul-
Try products. A liberal estimate would
place the value Of these importations
at $1,SOO,oOO or almost 81 for every
man, woman and child in the state. 1t
would prove an enormous income for
the ranchers and farmers of this state
And L am very anxious to have 1t de-
veloped into a business or the proper
proportions.
1T is we'll known that the Salt Lake
City prosperity was built on the Nor
mon principle that they would raise
everything that they ate. And II we
can do the same here in the state Of
Washington it win materially aid the
prosperity of this state. 1 want the
re lchers and the wives of ranchers to
communicate with us. We can make
money for them and do 1T without any
extra effort, to amount to much on
their part"

males should always be of the same
breed and changed every year for five
years, then for one year the stock may
be crossed back again with young and
vigorous specimens of the original
breed and then back again to the pure
breed males of the same stock as those
previously brought into the flock. Pure
bred advocates will scott at this adj
vice. but a fair test will convince any
person that a new breed thus evolved
is far superior, for the ordinary farmer,
than the best so-called high-class fowl
ever produced.

DEFECTS IN THE POULTRY.

When buying pure-bred fowls for
Improvement one need not mind GER
tain defects, provided the birds are
healthy and vigorous, as all defects are
not transmitted to their progeny.
When the comb is torn or frosted, or
the bird is injured in any way acciden-
tally, it does not destroy the quality OF
the stock for breeding purposes, unless
of course, the birds are disabled en-

not grow again, but new feathers will
appear on the body when Noting takes
place. Any defect, however, that is
Inherited, or appears voluntarily, such
as Topped combs. crooked back, wrong

transmitted to the next generation.
Minor defects may be overlooked, but
defects that are indications of the i'm

ness and do not understand yet. The
orchards of the state provide the ideal
runways for the chickens and there is
enough grain wasted in Eastern Wash
ington to feed and fatten all the poul-
try this state consumes. 1t is what the
Chicago packers call a by-product and
one In which there is an enormous
amount of money for the ranchers and
formers of this state.
Until five years ago I was unable to
do anything to develop the business. I
had made an acquaintance with the
ranchers and farmers of the state and
a number of them became warm friends
of my firm. But had no time to take
up these matters, the way of developing
their business so that it would be made
to pay, until about five years ago, when
my brother, John w. Burch, returned
from Alaska and purchased half in
terest in the business. He relieved me
of a great deal of detail and 1 have

toward building up the consignment
business of our firm.
"It is for this reason that we have
increased our capital and are going
into the business more heavily than
ever before. We want to get into cor
respondence with poultry raisers all
over the state and we want to suggest
to them when and how to ship their
poultry to market. We want to feel
that they are our friends and that we
are theirs.

TIME TO SHIP POULTRY.

This is the opening Of the Spring
broiler" poultry season, according to
J. r. Burch, Of the wholesale poultry
firm of Burch Bros, Seattle 1.-The
famer will make his best profits on
poultry during the next thirty or sixty
days." said Mr.. Burch. I'VE have only
received one crate of this kind Of poul-
try on the street so far this season.
These fowls averaged IA pounds
apiece and brought the fancy price Of
So per dozen. The farmer who has
young spring chickens now, weighing
from one pound up, should ship them
Immediately and realize on the good
prices which will be paid in the next
few weeks because eventually, when
shipments become heavier, the market
will drop and the poultry raisers will
be compelled to sell their produce
CHEAPER. A one-pound fowl will bring
a better price now than a two-pound
fowl will by the time it has attained
that growth, and in the meantime the
farmer will be saved the expense Of

Another mistake is breeding year aft
er year from year-old hens The GUS
tom Of selling off the old hens because
they are little heavier than the pull
let's of the previous season Is great
mistake, as young chicks from pullet
eggs are never as hardy as those hatch
ed from the eggs Of mature hens. Tur-
key hens should be kept until four or
nve years old. as they continue to pro-
duce eggs for several years.
The male should be selected from
some pure breed and not haphazard but
after a careful investigation of his an
tecedents. In this way the ordinary
farm flock can be graded up from the
common, hardy barnyard fowl to
practically new, vigorous and prolific
breed, producing more and larger eggs
and more vigorous offspring. The

Important Session Ended.

The Fort Smith Presbytery of the Presbyterian church. L. s. A., has just closed what is declared to be the best session in its history at Boone vile.
 At this session the Presbytery went on record as favoring a farther anal gatlon of the Presbyterian churches of the country, by adopting a memorial endorsing the proposed union between the now reunited Presbyterian church or the United States of America and the United Presbyterian church. The memorial will be presented to the next General Assembly of the Presbyterian church In this Presbytery the disaf- lection which followed the union of the Presbyterian Church. l.. s. A, and the Cumberland Presbyterian church does not seem to have affected the work in the least, and the Presbytery is in better shape now than ever be fore.
 Practically all the churches in the Presoytery are now supplied with preachers for the first time in years. The Presbytery appropriated S2,000 to supplement pastors salaries and So, 900 to assist weak churches in build ing new houses.

Island In Litigation.

The Supreme Court of the United states has been called upon to deter mine whether certain island about lS0 miles below Memphis was On the Arkansas or Mississippi side of the main channel of the Mississippi river In lSl7. It is the case of Moore and McFerrin of Memphis against R. J. McGuire and others, and involves ti- tie to the whole of Island No. 56 in the Mississippi river, which includes about 300 acres of valuable timber lands. The case involves boundary dis pute originating In 1877 between the states of Mississippi and Arkansas as to which side of the island was the main channel of the river at that time and in the settlement of the litiga- ton is the final disposition of about goo acres of valuable timber land. To establish the contention of the com plalnants it is important to locate the channel of the Mississippi river in lS17. ouasel for complainants insist that 1t tat time the channel was east of tibe island. In 1874 the United States government sold the island to individuals in Arkansas under sur yeys made by the surveyor general of the United States for Arkansas, and from this time down to the pres ent this land has been taxed in the state of Arkansas

A handsome building will be erected and a location is being sought which meets the requirements as to space where campus and grounds may be laid off The attendance on the pro

Louis Eggman, an inmate of the violent" ward of the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases for the past twenty years, hanged himself by a rope of strip of blanket, one end of which he had tied tightly around his neck and the other to the top of the head of his bed After placing the rope in position he had taken a re- cumbent position, with his feet stretched toward the foot of the bed. and in this way his neck was suspend ed by the rope, and he slowly strangled to death.

WASHINGTON STORM SWEPT.

About 100 houses in the southern part of the historic county seat of Hampstead county. Washington. were destroyed by tornado. and one per son was killed and another probably fatally injured. Carrie Shook, negro woman, was killed outright and Ellen Block another negro, was fatally in- jured. Frank Golston and wife were also slightly injured
 Tfe tornado, which occurred during a heavy rainstorm, continued but a short time, and spent all it's fury in the south part of town. It tore down all the telegraph wires between there and Hope, and news of the storm was not received until several hours later.
 In addition to the large number of houses occupied by negroes which were destroyed, the tornado either destroyed or damaged considerable property occupied by white persons.
 Tomatoes are usually attended with freakish incidents, and the one that visited Washington was no exception in that particular A house belonging tO d negro, ana WnlC0 ne and nlS fain- fly were occupying when the storm broke, was blown from it's foundation and rolled about quarter of a mile down hill. It finally landed in a clump of bushes and the negro and his family climbed out of 1t unin- Jured. The negro Baptist church was moved about ten feet from it's for mer location, but was not damaged to such an extent that it will be unfit for use.
 Washington is one of the oldest towns in Arkansas, having been found ed about 1918. It was once a place of considerably more importance than it has been for several years. While most towns grow and branch out, Washington has retrograded Up to the time of the building of the Cairo and Fulton railroad, between thirty and forty years ago, Washington was the industrial and social center of southwest Arkansas.
