"In changing any farm product from a lower to higher altitude, as it is done in this country" said MT. Tauk, Cit is necessary first to acclimate it-just as human needs to become accustomed to the change. That's what Pm doing with the crops have in now.
 "Just for instance, there's a patch of the finest Greeley seed potatoes I could obtain. They're a failure this year-thsy're not acclimated. Next to them you see some native Coconino county spuds-they're. fine first year crop. The difference is worth keeping in mind.
 Another thing, the soil must germinate before it is ready to re- ceive the seed that is to bring into being the plant life."
 These things may sound odd to the old time hit or-miss farmer. But to the farmers of the new school who are working such wonders in the dry farming districts it is the merest A-B-C of successful farming. There is not farmer in Coconino county who could not, with inn mense profit. journey to MT. Tauk's farm and spend a day under the instruction of that versatile Ger man. And at that he would only have scratched on the surface of really scientific farming-the sort that is so necessary to the future of this county.
 Stalking majestically about the chicken pens is prize rooster. He ia Cochin. China. king of his kind, and cost $40 at an eastern poultry farm. Another, Buff Cochin, cost $2O..
 Will they pay?" was the ques- ton.
 MT Tauk's eyes twinkled. "It's up to me to make them pay" he replied.
 This, then. is the secret of the success of this hard working. happy and determined couple, who are working out their destinies in the quIet valley between the moun- tains: To set themselves the task, and then make good. P S-And. by the way. perhaps some of the secret is the fact that Mrs. Tauk is an exceptionally fine cook and housekeeper. The memory of meal partaken at the home of the Tauks will finger long in MT. News Mans memory.

ARIZONA GOOD ROADS SECRETARY

Ling Compliments Commercial Club and Predicts Fine Auto Highway for
 Summer Tourist Travel

Concerning the recent visit of
 Reese M. Ling to Williams, the
 Prescott Journal-Miner says:
 Returning Friday from Will jams, on duties incidental to the Arizona Good Roads association of
 which he is secretary, Reese M. Ling states that much interest is
 being manifested in the movement in that community-in fact, there
 IS no public question that is 80 eag- erly being discussed as roads out of
 that city.
 The Commercial club has taken up, in a vigorous manner, the fe- opening of the old road from that city to the Grand Canyon. An auto trip was made during the week by
 Judge Rounseville, Joseph Amund
 sen and MT. Ling, with Bobby
 Burns as driver, to ascertain what expense would be required to make repairs. the round trip of 126 miles being made in less than nine hours. MT. Ling also states that the old county road between Williams and Ash Fork is being repaired [practi- oally a new road is being built and in few weeks will be ready for traffic. From Williams to Flag staff work will be. started in few days also. This will afford tour ists between Flagstaff and Prescott
 fine highwav. via Ash Fork and Williams. which promises to be lib
 erally patronized.

Tauk's Model Farm

Lying just over the mountain, scarcely more than a mile south of Williams as the crow flies, and nestling down in one of the fertile. level parks with which this section is SO thickly dotted, is the farm of William H. Tauk. graduate of Penn sylvania Agricultural college, for merly government taxidermist, poultry raiser and first rate farmer, who, with the able assistance of p'ucky Mrs. Tauk, is rapidly trans forming the valley into farm that gives promise already of being in a few years a place worth going many miles to see.
 From @ sharp, picturesque pro motory some 400 feet above the valley one looks down upon a new neat cottage. around which flutter and feed world of chickens of the finest breed obtainable. and a min iature farm that is laid off almost like 8 truck garden in it's variety of growths-oats, alfalfa, corn, sweet and stock peas, turnips, pota toes. even buckwheat-with which Mir. Tauk is making intelligent expert. mentation with a view of applying the knowledge gained this year. to more pretentious and money mak- ing efforts next year.
 It takes nerve. money. much manual labor and a faith in the future to farm as Mir. Tauk is farm ing. Also it takes intelligent ap plics tion and expensive improved machinery. MT. Tauk has every one of these requisites, and uses them.

Curtis Biplanes at Fair

Albuquerque, August 9-Glenn H. Curtis, probably the best known aviator in the world. general direc- tor of the Curtis Exhibition com pany of New York, man who has awed and mazed thousands by his thrilling flights, has signed contract with the New Mexico Fair association for two flights daily in Albuquerque on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of Fair week, October 9 to IA It is not yet known whether MT. Curtis will make the flights himself, or whether they will be made by one of his associate aviators. John A. McCurdy. Eugene B. Ely, Hugh A. Robinson, James J. Ward, Lincoln Beachey and c c. Witmer, all of whom have splen- did records for flights on many fields. The conditions of the con tract signed in New York last week between P. F. McCanna, chairman of the advisory board of the Fair association, and MT. Curtis, on be- half of his company, are that there shall be two flights daily on three days of fair week. one flight to be at least over 5C0 feet high. The fact that an aviation meet has been secured for the State Fair, and that aviators of international repute will participate, more than assures the success of the amusement feature of the fall exhibition.

A CARD OF THANKS

Not a single kind word, expressed last week to the publisher of the Sour dough about this publication, has been received without genuine apprecia- tion.
 Not a single wsh-from the heart, as this publisher believes-that the Sourdough might succeed, has been received without gratitude.
 To those who subscribed for the pa per, without payment of cash, the edi- tor is very grateful. A subscriber IS a subscriber, and what this paper wants is a subscription list.
 Even for those who kindly consent ed to take the paper on trial for a month, to be paid for at the end of the month, the publisher has a cer tain measure of appreciation.
 But for the S7 who had the cour- age in the first week of the Sour dough $ life, to pay years subscrip tion in advance, the publisher has the very highest degree of gratitude.
 The publisher will be grossly mis- understood if this is taken as his measure of those who have not sub scribed. Every man knows his own business best And the publisher real izes that during the week he has not seen half the residents of the Island.
 Of that kindly eighty-seven some subscribed on account of the merits of the publication, but the pub fisher believes that more of them subscribed through motives of person al friendship.
 Friends like that-but never mind; we might get sentimental.
 But anyhow, The Sourdough will never forget it's friends

in the conservation of Alaska as there and this part of Washington state
 There are, in Southeastern Alaska, an abundance of small streams, each furnishing small amount of water power. It is doubtful, however, if there is more than one stream which would furnish as much as five thous- and horse power without the expendi- ture of a fortune Salmon creek might produce that much but it would cost a million dollars to develop it. These little streams may be of inestimable value in the development of the coun- try by furnishing power for private use to furnishing power for mines, but 1t would be folly to conserve them for running the cars of municipal street railways in the future metrop- oils of Admiralty island, for instance, not so much on account of the power as on account of the improbability of the metropolis, as on account of the insufficiency of the streams.
 The immense fortune of Weyer- houser is built upon thrifty practice of securing at small cost immense tracts of splendid timber which was once the property of the United States, and holding it for a higher price. But in Alaska the forests do not amount to much There are no, immense tracts of splendid timber in Southeastern Al aska.
 The Sourdough believes, however, that the forestry regulations here are undeservedly unpopular. The editor of this paper has never bought any stumpage, nor cut either piles or logs or cordwood, but he understands that the settler is not required to pay any thing for the wood he cuts for his own use, and that the price that one must pay for timber for commercial purpos- es is purely nominal, and barely sutfi- cient to cover the cost to the govern ment of preventing needless waste, and making impossible any lessor Weyerhousers who might wish to ac- quire such timber as we have, and sell it at prices based on virtual mono plv

THE ALASKA LABOR UNION


 The new hall, for the erection of which a contract was let this week to l.. G. Thomas, will, when 1t is built, be an exceedingly useful institution to the town of Douglas. It will be an in stitution which has been needed here for long inc. 1t will be also, a struc- ture which will be a credit to the town.
 But it will be more than that. It will be monument to the success of the kind of a union the Alaska Labor Union is.
 The Alaska Labor Union is primar- fly, to afford an expression from the men in the contests between labor and capital. Inc essential distinction in its character, however, is the emphasis which it places on arbitration.
 Under the superintendency of the present incumbent, there has been lit tie occasion for the exercise of its pri- mary function The members of the union have had no greivances to .ad- just. The Alaska Treadwell Gold Min ing company is, of course, not phil anthropy. But the management pur- sues a policy which mak es for the con- .tentment of the men. The wages paid are not the highest in Alaska, but the local cost of living is controlled by the company, and ita is doubtful if any place can be found where the dispar- ity between the cost of living and the going wages is as great as 1t IS at Treadwell, either in, or out of Alaska.
 The usefulness of the Alaska Labor Union however does not begin and end with the exercise of! it's primary func- tion. It's great usetulness has been as a benefit society. Here on Douglas is- land, practically all of us depend on the fruits of our daily labor for the comforts of life which we buy, and when we are overtaken by illness or disability for labor, our incomes cease. To its members who thus suf- fer the loss of their wages, the Alaska Labor Union pays a sum each week. Scores of men on Douglas island have been helped over the rough places by that ''little old ten dollars per. Y

CONSERVATION, GOOD AND BAD

CONSERVATION, GOOD AND BAD
 It is a mistake to think that all con servation is bad, and it is difficult to see how any one who has ever lived in the United States could make it.
 Certainly a conservation which would have saved Snoqualimy Falls from a corporation like the Puget Sound Rail- way company, would have been good conservation. Snoqualimy is a ease of. a tremendous water power which once belonged to the people, but was seized by a corporation and con- verted into electricity and sold back to the people at a profit not so conscousnessless, however, as it was before the city of Seattle develop ed water power of it's own. Any con servation capably designed to prevent the handing over of tremendous water power to corporations to be sold back to the people at price made possible by monopoly, is good conservation.
 Whitby island is a fertile spot in Puget Sound. Here and there may be found 8 rancher, mak ing tidy profit in garden truck Stretched between are large areas covered with standing timber, owned by the Puget Sound Mill company. On the other side of the Sound, and along the shores of Hood S canal is vast country in pre- ,isely the same condition. These areas would afford comfortable lives for a thousand homeless Seattle laborers. These timber covered areas are being conserved, not for any future genera tions. but for the heirs of Pope and Talbot These timbered tracts cannot be released from the forest reserves of the Puget Sound Mill company by orders issued by the president of the United States The settlers scattered here and there between the company $ holdings may have a greivance against the United States, but not because of conservation by the government of the United States. A little conservation by the government twenty years ago., was a lack of it in Washington state. would be by now thica1ly settled with prosperous farmers.
 It is human nature to lock the stab le after the horse is stolen, and the locking of Alaska in the ice chest has been as natural as it has been out rageous. There is just as little wisdom
