mismanagement or graft on the part
OF the Society.
The trust has used every means to
disrupt our Society. 1t has paid
the independent grower more money
for the 1906 and 1907 crops than
they ever dreamed Of getting; 1t has
tempted our own members to vio-
late their contract by offering I'M

higher prices for the 1908 crop. II

OF all this we present a solid front.
The Burley Tobacco Society still az

chester and our prospects are bright
or than ever. We have orders for
1907 tobacco. which. IL filled, will
consume nearly all Of that crop. The
crop OF 1908 was cut out beyond our
Tost sanguine expectations and the
great drouth has still further dimin-
ished the available supply.
Let every farmer and every coun-
ty hurry in their samples so that the
1907 crop can be priced and bnth
crops sold.
Above all, let every farmer dis
courage Incorporate talk and more
Incorporate acts. Law and order
are worth more than all tobacco
crops. Lawlessness and the fear Of
lawlessness have done us meal
culable injury. The Society has
never countenanced any violation Of
the law. We believe in the majority
ruling. but we insist II must rule by
lawful means and not by force. We
insist that those who have entered
into contracts shall be made to abide
by their contracts. but only by pro-
cess OF law.

The value OF n tobacco seed Is de-
termined by its weight As separat-
ed by the apparatus used for this
purpose the station has found that
the difference In the yield OF heavy
seed and light seed taken from the
same lot was 500 pounds per acre.
In this particular experiment the to-
bocco sold for 10 cents, resulting
in a gain OF $40 per acre In favor of
the select seed. On our type OF to-
bacco the difference would be APP
proximately s25 per acre. No to-
bacco grower can afford not to have
his tobacco seed graded when such
gains may be had.
The arrangement for grading the
seed is very simple. II consists of
two large glass tubes several feet In
length. They are stood up side by
side and are connected at the top
with a rubber tube. The seed to be
graded are placed In the bottom of
one OF the tubes, and compressed
air from the stations plant Is turned
into the bottom OF this tube. This
compressed air Is regulated in such
m wav TINT ~ hIoua fuaf n ri an On o. n
to blow the chan and the light seed
out at the top OF the tube and over
into the other, leaving the select
seed at the bottom Of the frst tube.

FROM
BURLEY SOCIETY,"

lnasmuch as the country has been
hooded with false and misleading
statements In ergard TO the Burley
Tobacco Society, its purposes, its
management and It's prospects, we
believe 1t an opportune time 20 cor
rect these statements and inform our
members. In the first place why
this great interest in the welfare Of
the grower, on the part OF the news
papers. warehousemen. spectators
and trust buyers, an interest which
Is newborn and had no existence
when the prices were low, when the
farmer was down-trodden and the
trust held undisputed sway in the
tobacco trade. This interest, and
these misstatements and criticisms
come from a few honest people who
believe the organization responsible
for lawlessness, and who have not
looked deep enough into the situa-
ton TO find out that this lawlessness
is caused by previous lawlessness on
the Oart Of the trust. and Is the blind
effo. OF few unreasoning men who
seek 10 remedy one wrong with an
othe-. and who strike back because
they themselves are hurt. With this
exception, these false statements
come from venal source. from men
who fo- consideration, or from pri-
yate interest, seek to overthrow this
organization OF farmers.
A great cutlery has been made
about extravagant salaries; II is suf-
fcient answer to state that though
over four million dollars has been
distributed TO the growers not one
cent OF salary has been paid to any
member of the District Board, the
Executive Committee. or the Presi-
dent himself. And when salaries
are voted and paid they will be 80

er will grudge one cent of them to

planned the business and stood the
attacks and criticism of those who
wished the failure of the movement.
OF the ten per cent reserve. eight
per cent Is deposited In the various
counties where II will do the grow
ers the most good and at no distant
day the greater part by far will be
to the individual growers.
II has been stated that too much
has been charged for handling to-
bacco-in only few instances has
more been charged for this service
than ia the usual charge for the same.
And In these instances there we're
other benefits to the grower which
more than counter-balanced this ex-
ira charge, and In no case has there
been any profit to the Burley To-
bacco Society or its managers from
such charges. In most cases brought
forward to prove this. It has been
clearly schown that the grower en-
tered voluntarily into a private con-
tract to pay these fees when he was
free to have made other and better
or have done the work him
self.
From some sources II has been
claimed that the tobacco has lost
too much In weight-mistakes are
liable to occur In any business but
II is a queer fact that such losses
are reported more frequently on to-
bacco stored and sampled In the old
established warehouses of the cities
than on tobacco stored In the Equity

A special from Valdez to the Juneau Daily Dispatch states that that city is thoroughly aroused over a reported rich strike on the Koyukuk, where 820O pans are found. Considering that Valdez is about thousand miles from the scene of the alleged strike, it ap- pears that the infection has spread a long ways. The presence of gold in the Koyukuk country has been known for long time, and last summer sever al parties left Panama for some point down the river which they did not reveal. The Koyukuk flows into the Yukon from the north, about 175 miles below Tsnapa, or Ft, GibbOn.

Making Dirt Fly

Washington, Dec. 23-The dirt taken from the Panama canal route last month-1,S38,486 cubic yards-would cover ten blocks to depth of forty feet. It is shown that every fifty work ing days the commission is moving an amount of material equal to the pyra- mid of Cheops, which required the labor of 100000 men for twenty years in the building and the services of the same number of men for ten years in constructing the road connecting the work with the quarry. The commission could dig the Suez canal at the present rate of progress in 3.S years, though it took ten years for DeLesseps to finish the work, The famous Manchester ship canal could be excavated by the American canal workers in two months and Emperor Williams magnificent Keil canal could be dug by the Americans in five years.
 According to the latest health report from Panama the isthmus has been free from yellow fever more than eighteen months and there has been continued improvement in the health conditions. Comparing the death rate for the year up to December l, with that for the corresponding period in 1906. there is a 50 per cent decrease. The figures for this year are 2O.66 for each 1000, against 3O.61 last year. The sick rate also showed a marked decrease.

A benefit ball was given last Mon- day evening at Natatorium Hall for Mike Dahl, young man who is suffer ing from rheumatism. The attendance was large, and as there were no eX- penses, neat sum was realized. A worthy person in distress never needs to call second time in Douglas.
 The rain descended in torrents and the wind blew a gale last Saturday night. The storm, which came direct. ly up the channel, struck the Juneau waterfront with it's full force, and for a time the wharves, docks and small craft were at the mercy of the clements. The damage was considerable, but not so much as it would have been had the storm come at the time of the extreme high tide, earlier in the day.
 Odd Fellows Hall was crowded last Wednesday evening the occasion being social given by Northern Light Rebekah Lodge. At the conclusion of a very interesting program, the ladies served refresh ments. The people of Douglas Island are naturally inclined to be sociable and when given an opportunity they mix we'll. Many more of this style oj entertainments would be enjoyed.
