Will 'ut Up 4 Full Psc<

Work at the Santa Anna cannery is moving apace, IS the prepara- tons for the seasons pack are be- i2g made. The intention is to put up about tWenty-seyen thousand cases. the greater part Of which will be pink fish. The market for this latter article remains very un- satisfactory. and unless 1t improves within tho next twelve months there is every probability that the cannery vii not operate during the season of 1910. There is a hope, however, that the present year will prove a red fish year on the Sound, in which evert that istrict will net pack so much pink, thus re- lieving the market. This is the year of the ''bi- run" of sockeyes on the Sound, so there is some pro- babiiity that the hopes of the northern cannerymen will blossom out into reality.

Brought Over Injured Han

Isaac Isaacson was brought over from Shakan for treatment Tuesday evening. Fng or six weeks ago he fell while working at the can nsry, sprainina his ankle. It was not supposed that he was at all badly injured so.that it was thought by everybody that few days would see him around again. Re lief has been slow in appearing, however, so 1t ' as decided to bring him here. The doctor here states that the sprain is a bad one, ag- gravated by delay in not securing medical assistance at an earlier date, and the probabilities arc that 1t will be another six or eight weeks before he will be able to go to work again.

Things have been happening since

Find Undesirable Citizens
Among the Minnesota Hens

ST. Paul, Mimi, Feb. How many
eggs should hen lay in year?
This innocent question bids fair to
thin the ranks Of the hens of Mnne-
sofa of many undesirable citizens, and
to exalt the hen who does her duty
above the wont of feathered kind. The
state has taken the trail Of the hen
and sleeps not neither can it be de-
tered from It's purpose until the re-
creant hen Is pilloried and Minnesota
is rid of her kind.
The trouble started at the Crooks
ton farm school where Superintendent
William Robertson made up his mind
he was supporting in idleness and lux
urv a good many hens who were not
paying for their feed. He therefore
tagged each hen with a metal leg band
and number. He established an egg
REGISTER, and with his farm boy de-
vised cunningly built nest by which
the hen enters all unsuspecting only
to find that she must lay an egg or
stay imprisoned until some one comes
to check up her record.
Tor months every hen has been fol-
lowed by a sure detective. For year
every new laid egg has been entered
upon the book, and a day or two ago
came the end of things for many OF
that hen house.

BEDE OBJECTS TO
RAISING MAINE
Washington Bureau of
The Ottumwa Courier
Washington, D. c.. Feb. l. Z

President Roosevelt wants steps TAX
en- to remove the wreck of the old bat
tleship Maine from the place where it
was sunk in Havana harbor, on the
ground that it is serious danger to
navigation. Representative Bedc of
Minnesota is deeply concerned about
the proposal. He regards it as most
dangerous.
Its this way" said Mr.. Bede. 1--WE
went to war with Spain to avenge the
destruction Of the Maine, which at the
time we believed had been blown up
by the Spanish. AS a result of that
war, Cuba became free, we got the
Philippines, and the United States
assumed a new position in the world.
Now, suppose we were mistaken
about the Spanish sinking the Maine?
Digging up that old hull would be sure
to demonstrate the mistake; it would
show whether an exterior or an in
terror explosion did the damage. If it
shows that the Maine blew up from
within, the results would be almost
unthinkable.
First, we would be morally bound
to apologize to Spain for suspecting
her. Then we could do no less than
hand back Cuba and Guam and the
Philippines to her Then l suppose
we would have to pay her for the
navy she lost, and otherwise indem-
Nifty her for other injuries sustained
by reason Of the war. What less
could we do in good conscience?
No, consider the digging up of the
Maine as very dangerous piece Of
business. It's liable to require the I'M
making OF lot of histroy that has
become so ossified that it would be al
most impossible Of revision"
When Tom Hedge of Burlington was
member Of congress he used to be a
great wag. One day he was sitting
in the chair of one of the doorkeepers
ct the east entrance to the house
chamber, when visitor came up. Dig
ging a card out of his case, the man,
assuming that the representative was
doorkeeper, said:
please take that in to Representa-
tive DeBrown."
Eyes, sir; certainly, SIR" replied Mr..
Hedge promptly, while the doorkeep-
ers who were standing by exploded.
"Ten cents, please, SIR
The man came up with the dime,
and Hedge went in and sent out the
man who was wanted.

SENATOR SAYS HE
WAS REELECTED ON THE
FIRST BALLOT.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 3O.-Senator
isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin. who
is having troubles of his own trying to
be reelected to the United States
senate, where he has been serving out
the remainder of the term of Senator
John c. Spooner, proposes to make
vigorous fight for his seat before the
committee on privileges and elections
OF the senate, in case the legislature of
Wisconsin decides he is not to return.
senator Stephenson and his friends
hold to the view that he was duly
elected on the first day of ballotin~ at
Madison when he received majority
OF all the legislators present and vot-
ing for senator.
The fact that he failed to receive a
majority of all the votes in the legis-
lature, according to Senator Stephen
son, cuts no figure, and it is said he
VIII be supported in this view by some
OF the abiest lawyers in the senate, in
Guiding Senator Burrows. chairman of
the committee on privileges and cleo
tlons; Senator Cummins of Iowa, and
Senator Bacon of Georgia.
Arrayed against Stephenson is the
contingent led by Senator La Toilette,
his colleague and former political ally,
Which will make protest on the senate
floor.
In case he is admitted to his seat
after protest is made against his talk
ing the oath resolution will be intro
duced, probably by Senator La Fol-
lette, to declare the seat vacant on ac-
count of charges of improper use of
money by Senator Stephenson to Sc
cure his election.
Stephenson Vote Drops to So.
Madison, Wis. Jan. 3O.-The sena-
ho or -
long waiting game, with Stephenson's
chance of success in the immediate
future growing dim.
Pending the result of the investiga-
ton of his expenses it is improbable
that there will be any election. and in
the end 1t may become a question for
the United States senate, under the
protest on Tuesdays vote in the SEN
ate.
Senator Stephenson lost more
votes yesterday and his total of 63 is
4 less than enough to elect him when
all are voting.
With the primary law utterly repv-
dated by both sides, those legislators
who voted for Stephenson only be-
cause of the victory in the primary
will have less and less inclination to
cast their ballots for a man they are
personally opposed to.
Such men as Senator Whitehead of
GAINESVILLE, who was one of the old
stalwarts and who was bitterly fought
by the Stephenson men, has been vot-
ing for Stephenson from a sense of
duty to the primary law. which he
fought for years.
The alleged failure of the primary
law has resulted, so far, in one propo-
sition to amend it. An assembly bill
by Assembyman Whitman proposes to
remove the senatorial selection from
it's provisions.
1t is probably that amendments will
be introduced.

HIS FIRST DEAL
WAS IN TURKEYS
JOHN D.,TELLs OF EARLY sTRuG-
GILES IN HIS FIFTH MAGA-
ZINE ARTICLE.

New York, Feb LIN the fifth
article of series written for Worlds
Work, John D. Rockefeller gives a
glimpse of how he started to build his
stupendous fortune. He tells of his
first transaction in turkeys at the age
of seven and relates how he borrow
ed frequently, paying his father as
high as ten per cent for a loan.
The difficult art of getting" is the
title of the article, nowhere in which
does the seeker after great wealth
find any certain recipe for amassing
millions. Speaking of his early bust
ness ventures, Mr.. Rockefeller says:
When | was seven years old 1
owned some turkeys, and my mother
presented me with the curds from the
milk to feed them. took care of the
birds myself and sold them all. My
receipts were all profit, as l had no
express account, and my records were
kept as carefully as knew how"
Only once in his life did Mr.. Rookie
Teller receive gift of money. Shortly
before he was twenty-one his father
ture Inheritance. The amount was
$1,000.
Mr.. Rockefeller wanted the money
to join with an Englishman named
Clark in establishing wholesale
produce and commission firm.
One of the first positions the ON.
bryo multimillionaire secured paid
him $50 for three months work. Mr.
Rockefeller still thinks that was all
he was worth
