 A song written for the purpose of eX- plotting the A.-Y.-P. and which is said to have a catchy air, starts out like this: "What do you know of the gold, en North, said lilly Jones to me, as we swung in a garden hammock meath the apple tree."

 The Alaska Yukon Magazine for August contains timely article on the present state of education in Alaska by Clara Leonard Hulgren.

The Ketchikan Miner remarks: "Oh what rebuke is this, our friends, ad. ministered to the little contingent of seif-seeking, selfish Republicans who engineered the proceedings of the Ket- chikan knock down and drag out' convention held here in Ketchikan last May. The rebuke must be all the more severely felt because of the fact that the candidate just elected by an overwhelming vote must be less satis- factory to them than would have been any other person named for the place."
 The body of white man was found last week by the Indians, in the Skee- na river about two miles above Kit wauga.

 A Tanana miner was sick unto death. Those waiting on him in his cabin found tiny stoc king which the sick man explained had been placed in his valise by his four-year-old daughter when he left home. The sight of the little stocking touched the hearts of the hardy miners. The poor father died and the sum of S2,464 was raised and placed in that little stocking and sent to the widow and orphan at Portland, Oregon. That is the sort of charity that counts on Gabriel's books Whitehorse Star.
 Congressman William Sulzer, who arrived Saturday on the Dolphin from Sulzer, Alaska, says that throughout the Ketchikan district mining IS talk ing a step forward. Many of the mines that have been idle are beginning to do the work necessary to ship ore. Claims that were only prospects are be- ing developed and m ines that have been producing ore are getting ready to increase shipments. "With copper at 131@ cents the copper properties on Prince of Wales island are picking up in value,"said MT. Sulzer, "and if it goes to above 15 cents there will be something doing in that part of the territory which will attract attention from the mining world" Mir. Sulzer came down from Alaska to attend the Eagle convention. He is registered at the Rainier r-Grsnd.-Seattle P.-I.

CHICKENS STUFFED
TO SUPPLY MARKET
Birds Like 1t, Looking Forward
Eagerly to Meal Time, While
Meat Is Whittier and
Higher Priced

Broilers fattened by machinery are
now being shipped TO Los Angeles
They come sfrom the Carson Heights
ranch in the San Pasqual valley, near
Escondido. and command a higher
price than the ordinary fowl.
The fattening process is done by q
cramming machine, which consists OF
a reservoir mounted upon tripoe
and a clutch pedal, by which enough
feed to fill a chickens crop is forced
into the crop through small rubber
tube. The operator seizes the bird by
a wing and leg, quickly passes the tube
down its throat and with deft pres
sure of the foot pedal a full meal Is
furnished so swiftly that a man anc
boy are able to cram 300 brollers an
hour.
The fowls are kept quiet and in
somewhat darllened coop so that they
have no opportunity to exercise. Inc
fattening is, in reality, that of glut-
tony or intemperance, and, like con-
firmed topers, the chickens soon begin
to call for their cramming and tc
know when the time for it arrives
Machine cramming has the effect OF
making all the meat lighter in color
and in some cases almost white. II
is a great deal more palatable. and
for that reason brings the best price
in the market.
#. e. Judson, proprietor of the Car
son Heights ranch, is shipping this
season about 1900 broilers to this
market.

IRRIGATION YIELDS
ENORMOUS RETURNS
Engineer and Expert on Pumping Ma
chinery Says This Country Is
More Productive Than
the North

George II. Paris, a constructing en-
gineer of 92S South Hope street, gives
his experience both north and south
of the Tehachapi and in the Hawaiian
islands as authority for the statement
that water properly applied to the land
in this section of the state will go,
on an average, eight times as far in
producing results as the same amount
used north of the Tehachapi range.
Mr.. Paris lived for years in Homo
lulu, where he was member of the
Honolulu society of engineers, and
made extensive observations of results
in pumping plant irrigation, said to
have had its most profitable develop
ment on the Eiawiian sugar plantations.
Prior to the earthquake he conducted
a machinery sales business in San
Francisco, which made him familiar
with the effects of irrigation through
out that section of California. Mr..
Paris has been spending the last two
years in Los Angeles and San Diego
counties in work which has made him
thoroughly acquainted with crop re-
suits there.
Mr.. Paris is convinced, as the result
of his experience, that a smaller guam
tity of water will not only bring far
greater results in this territory than
in northern California, but he also
says that these results may be OBJ
tanned for less money.
There is but a small part of Cali
fornia south of the Tehachapi,' ne
says, "that will not produce ten times
more than it costs to pump. with a
practical plant, all the water available
for farming anything that the land is
suited for, except hay, grain and cac-
tus. A little two-acre slope about ten
miles from Econdido has produced
over $500 worth of early cucumbers
and cantaloupes, and now, with a
pumping plant to raise water sixty
feet and costing $3.50, the farmer feels
absolutely confident that he will pro-
duce $1,000 worth of tomatoes, or other
like produce, at a time when such gar
den truck brings prices which warrant
handsome returns to the grower. This
is perhaps an extreme instance, but
summer feed and winter silage, the in
crease of alfalfa crops when properly
irrigated, and other crops show as
founding increases in comparison with
the investment and cost of operation
in Los Angeles and San Diego coun-
ties.
'Tmagine a Southern California
rancher pumping 100000 gallons of
water every twenty-four hours, 400 feet
high, two-thirds of the year after
field has been planted. That is the
case in the Hawaiian islands, where
the most extravagant returns are made
in sugar culture, and where it rains
every day In the year; but it pays.
The multiple of profit is as 10 to 1
for the same pumping in northern
California.
1.-THE only hindrance to Southern Call
ifornia being the greatest agricultural
profit-earning portion of the United
States is the confidence of the farmer
that the powers above have given him
every cultural advantage, so he lives
easily and healthily and well, and does
not mine the wealth of production as
strenuously as is possible.

EXPECT CARLSON TO
SUBMIT TO ARREST
MAY HAVE B0NDSMEN READY
EARLY TODAY
Specific Complaint on Which Banker
VIII Be Arraigned Is That of
Having FaIsified
Accounts

w. H. Carlson, former head of the
Consolidated bank, for whom a warrant
for arrest was issued Saturday at the
instigation of the grand fury, which in
vestigated the affairs Of the bank will

Constable r. p. Cochran, who was
designated to apprehend Carlson, re-
ceived word indirectly from him yes

in his hands, but the banker no doubt
wished to be sure of his bondsmen be-
fore submitting to arrest
The specific complaint on which Carl
son will be s~rraigned before Justice
Stephens is that of falsifying accounts
after the investigation of the grand
jury, District Attorney Fredericks was
instructed to draw up such a complaint,
and this was sworn to by H. l.. Brown
detective in the district attorneys

SEIZED WITH FIT OF
'SENSORY APHASIA'
Receivers Senses Suddenly at Receiv-
ing Hospital and Is Able to
Give His Name and
Address

With only two facts left in his
memory, Eugene Babst of Bedford,
Ind, spent twenty-four hours at the re-
ceiving hospital before he could remem-
ber his own name, where he worked,
where he lived, whether he was mar
ried or not--in fact he could furnish no
more details about himself than could
a newly born babe. The only facts the
police surgeon succeeded in obtaining
from him were that he had just paid a
physician $11 for treatment and that
he came here from Bedford, Ind.
Bobst's trouble was diagnosed by DR..
Quint of the hospital staff as "sensory
aphasia," and it was not until yester-
day morning that his memory returned
and he was able to give some informa-
ton about himself. He then remem-
bered that he lived at 760 Clanton
street, and that he left his wife at 3
o'clock Thursday afternoon with the
promise to return at 8 p. m. AS soon
as his memory returned Mrs. Bahst,
who was greatly worried at his con-
tinued absence, was notified and came
at once to the hospital.
Babst is car repairer and is en-
ployed by the Los Angeles-Pacific Rail
road company.
