The Fishing Combine

Some excellent suggestions are con- taiued in the recommendation made by the grand jury which adjourned at Valdez his week Chief among these is one asking that some equitable form of taxation' be devised for the fishing interests of the coast. phe jury recited one instance in which corporation packing 800,000 cases of salmon paid the government 32 cents in taxes.
 An agent of the company furnished an affidavit that his concern bad re- leased enough red salmon fry to entitle it to d tax re bate of S32,272 The aff- davit did uot even have to be proven to the court. According to the present law, as set forth by the grand jury, the unsupported word of any agent is suf- ficient 10 release fishing corporations from paying taxes. The government fosters the industry for the benefit OF these private interests and then allows them to escape the payment of taxes
 Folks Alaska directory claims there is 17,0O0,OO0 invested in the fishing in- dustry at the present time. 1t says further: "Today theYe are 47 canneries and g salteries in fpll operation, the value of which combined the yearly outpat approximates $8,0OO,o0o The industry grew with extreme rapidity. Canneries were constructed at cost of from S5OOO0 to S120O00 each, and enormous profits were realized from the investment. When it was found, ID 1902, that the supply of canned salmon was exceeding the demand, a combine tiou was formed, with the result that by mutual understanding several can neries were shut down, the owners com ing into the general pool and receiving pro rata share of the profits from the active canneries"
 Over 10000 persons were employed the past season, of whom over 4,OoO were white men. Congressional legis- lation has been devised to keep aliens from encroaching on the fishing grounds. In fact, legislation so far, it would seem, has been devised princi- pally to perpetuate and protect pow srful combination in ravishing the wealth of the most valuable fishing grounds in the world without paying i cent in return toward the support of tbe territory.
 True, in lieu of taxes, the companies are supposed to release salmon fry, but on this point the grand jury said: "Your grand jury is of the opinion that this fry for the release of which the goverement is paying, is mainly for the benefit of these companies. ."-Cordova North Star.

First Japanese stowavay.

The first Japanese stowaway ever
brought to Boston arrived on a steamer
from London the other day. He gave
his name as Tasujo Nakamura, aged
30, and claimed to have been a men,
Der Of the crew Of an American sailing
vessel.
1t was learned that he was a salon
on board the ship Johanna, which ar
rived at Falmouth, Eng, some months
ago. He was starving in London when
he determined to come to this country.
He wandered about the docks in the
Thames and stole on board the Phila-
delphian and hid in the coal bunkers.
Nakamura said he was all through
the Russlan-Japanese war, having been
one of the crew Of a cruiser in the Jap
anese feet.
Inspector Root examined the man
and ordered that he be sent back on the
Philadelphia when she leaves on her
return trip.

When fowls crow at night, which is
the fact when the number quartered is
greater than the capacity of the house,
they sweat. This sweating causes the
feathers to rot at the base, giving them
the very appearance Of molting This
explains why so many focks look
ragged In early summer
1t Is noted fact that the majority
OF cases where roup has become epi-
demic among fowls the latter were
crowded in tightly-built houses when
the weather is very cold and allowing
the houses to remain closed all the next
day. This creates moisture which
generates dampness, and the whole
house feels very much like vault At
night the house is more or less filled
with dampness emanating from the
fowls breath, but If, on the following
morning, the windows are opened wide,
this dampness will be dlspelled. This
is great point in favor of the scratch
ing shed plan of house.

TranspIanting,

As the time approaches for removinA
young plants from the fats in the
house or from the hotbed outside, an
extra amount Of airing must be given
to harden them. Plants which have
started indoors or under glass are
more or less tender and will not be
able to thrive under the rigor of early
spring planting without treatment.
They must become hardened, or accli-
mated, to the new conditions
At least week before transplanting
remove the sash entirely from the bot
bed during the day and allow abund-
ance of ventilation at night, except
when heavy frost threatens This will
give the plants practically an outside
temperature for the greater part Of the
day and they will grow stronger and
harder thereby. At this time also less
watering should be given to check
growth and make the plants more re-
slstant to the cold. All plants can en-
dure lower degree of temperature un-
der dry than under moist conditions.
Most seedlings are transplanted d.
rect from the fiat or hotbed to the open
garden when they have attained a
height of from four to six inches or
more. When facilities are at hand a
better way is to first transplant them
to a cold frame, which is the same as
hotbed without the heat. In the cold
frames they become accustomed to low
er temperature and are still protected
from frost of nights and on cold days.
A still better way is to transplant the
young plants Mt the appearance of
their second or third set of true leaves
to two Inch flower pots.

and statesman of wide experience and
no mean ability. Before the war he
was member Of both branches of the
State Legislature, corporation counsel
Of New York City, secretary of lega-
tion at London and twice member of
Congress.
At the opening Of the war in 1861
he raised brigade of volunteers and
was commissioned colonel of one of
the five regiments. He was soon raised
to brigadier general and gained dis
tinction In many hard-fought battles.
In 1868 he was made major general.
At Gettysburg he lost a leg. At the
close Of the war he Joined the regular
army as colonel and year later was
breveted brigadier general in recogni-
tion Of his bravery at Fredericksburg
and major general for gallant and mer-
itorious conduct at Gettysburg. In 1860
he was placed on the retired list with
the full rank of major general.
General Grant appointed him minis
ter to Spain in 1869 and it was there
he met and married his wife.
Since the war he has been president
Of the New York State Board of Civil
Service Commissioners, Sheriff of New
York in 1890 and in 1892 was elected
to Congress.

severe; II the reverse is true, we may
look for hard winter in February and
March. Bright northern lights bring
severe cold. Sun dogs indicate bad
storm.
Distant sound heard distinctly fore
bodies no good weather. If the sun
draws up water 1t will rain. The
pitcher sweating and the tea kettle
boiling dry also indicate rain. Cobwebs
thickly spread upon the grass are an
indication of fair weather. Animal life
seems, according to the popular notion,
to have peculiar warnings regarding
the weather changes Some of these
are explalnable by natural causes. II
is fact recognized by all intelligent
stockmen that cattle have an int1ma-
ton of an approaching storm some
hours before it is visible to the hui
man eye. There is certain restlessness

When you see pig pasturing in the

look for storm. Chickens take extra

The work Of disking alfalfa requires

possible. A little experience will en-

best work In the field. There are times

whichever l think best, always finish

real pleasure to see the alfalfa start

the feat attributed to a Western steve

lunching In a sheltered nook of
wharf. One of them went across the
street for a plug of chewing tobacco,

for his tin of pale coffee and milk
his own tin of milkless black coffee.

Helpful Hints.
OIL up the work harness.


The neglected colt or calf will prove
profitless.
Cattle will never do well in the same
pasture as sheep.
Wood charcoal should always be
kept in the hog pen.
How are the farm implements? ANY
Of them need repairs?
To improve live stock, requires in
telligence and thought.
1t Is a good plan to have the horses
and cows clean up their managers after
each feed.
There is such thing as overfeeding.
Feed stock all the food they will as
simulate, but not more.
Don't have lot Of manure lying
In the yards all summer. 1t will lose
just about half Of its value by fall.
1t is better to feed the cows fodder
and hay after milking, as It keeps
the dust down. Feed the grain before
milking.
The best feed for making muscle Is
oats. They are not heating nor very
fattening. The young calves should be

says that about month ago he wound
ed great moose on the banks of the
Saskatchewa River, and that, when the
animal sprang into the river he jump
ed into his boat and started in pur-
suit, hoping for another shot at close
range.
While trying to reload and row at
the same time, says Traps" he drop
ped his gun overheard and it went to
the bottom. Marking the spot where
the weapon went down by associating
the location with a fallen tree on the
shore nearby, he seized both oars and
gained rapidly on the injured animal
When he reached 1t he made a slip
moose of his tow line and skillfully
threw it about the great, spreading
antlers. This done, he attempted to
tow his quarry ashore by backing up
the boat, but the frightened beast pull
ed him rapidly down stream.
The rapidity Of the current increased
and soon Traps" was terrified to hear
the sound of the falls. His most des-
perate efforts availed nothing against
the current and the frenzied animal.
Having no knife, he attempted to un-
tie the line from his craft, but it was
water soaked and his trembling fingers
could do nothing with it.
The cry of the falls came nearer and
nearer and the boatman had given him
self up for lost when the mooses feet
struck bottom.
After some stumbling the beast
braced himself and walked to a little
island about five feet in diameter, COM
posed of rock, and rising in the center
OF the river ten feet from the edge of
the falls Traps boat swung around
over the falls, the stern projecting over
about three feet. The moose braced his
feet against the pull, fearful of being
swept from his point of vantage.
Seeing that his preserver could not
hold out much longer against growing
weakness and continued loss of blood,
Traps began cautiously to pull his
boat to the little island, hand over
hand. The moose looked ON the ap-
preaching enemy with terror, trem-
bling visibly. When Traps" was with
In four feet of terra firma he sprang
| from the boat and after a scramble
succeeded in getting to temporary safe
ty, wondering the while whether or
not the moose would gore him to death
In revenge. But his fears were ground
less, for the animal, in a frenzy be-
cause of his nearness, sprang into the
swift current, and moose, tow line and
boat went over the falls.
Traps had been on his little isl
and without food for three days when
he was discovered by passing hunters
who fOated him line from a safe
distance and he was dragged ashore.
He recovered his boat and the dead
moose entangled in the branches of a
fallen tree eight miles down stream
two days after his release, and has
brought the antlers to Winnepeg as a
souvenir of his wonderful experience.

and the singers of an ancient army
used their little weapons with terrible
effect. "These natives have such skill"
says one old historian, "that it very
rarely happens that they miss their
aim. What makes them so great in
the use of the sling is the training Civ

Improved nut trees begin bearing at
