The visit of MT. Blum to Chitina this week resulted in radical change in plans for his feed ware houses. The north end of the build ing was torn out and an extension is being built that reaches Main street. This end of the street will be oc- cupied by the Chitina Cash Store, MT E. H. Gilman, manager, and will carry a general line of mems goods
 groceries and trail hardware, and will act as forwarding agents for s. Glum & Go. The rear end of the building will be used by s. Blum & 'Co., as a hay and grain warshouse. This will enable miners and pros- pectors to secure everything they need without the tedious details ex- perienced in ordering from elsewhere.

COPPER MINING
 ACTIVITY

Copper mining on the sound is rapidly gaining ground according to recent arrivals from Latouche, and several of the properties are getting into a position to ship ore to the shelter.
 At the Beatson Bonanza the amount of ore shipped is steadily in- creasing, and it is rumored that dia- mond drill tests have demonstrated the continuance of this enormous ore body to a considerable depth.
 The plant of the Seattle-Alaska Copper company at Montgomery bay has been installed and is now work ing. It consists of mining, crushing and concentrating machinery, and the trial runs have been very success ful. The ore will be concentrated and the concentrates shipped to the smelter, shipments to commence with in a short time.

How Old is Your Horse?

Corvallis. Ore.--There are four ways
to tell the age OF n horse, according
to Prof. L. l.. Potter OF the oregon
Agricultural college: bv his teeth, by
his ribs. 10y the flesh on his tail, and
by the skin on his cheeks.
In young horse the cheek skin Is
soft and elastic, and flies back
Quickly when raised; in an old one, 1t
is lifeless and goes back but slowly.
Old horses apparently have wild
Ell and more distinct space between
their ribs than young ones And with
age the flesh on the tail OF n horse
shrinks. making the joints more dis
tinct than they are on young horse.
Judging by the changes in the teeth
is a more accurate method The COM
ing of the temporary teeth first. and
then the permanent ones: the de-
velopment to maturity; the change In
shape on account OF wear; the COM
ing of the cups in the teeth, and their
wearing away afterward; and the
change in the angle of meeting of the
teeth. from straight together at five
years to n sharp angle at twenty
all these are signs by which the ex'

Flowing 35 acres a day and doing
the work of 40 horses, a Caterpillar
engine is daily toiling away for John
Crow, the big reservation farmer. AL
this time the machine Is at work on
the Isaacs place, between Mckay ana
Tutullla. and Is engaged in plowing
4SO acre field. In company with MI
Grow a trip to the scene Of operations
was made today by a representative
of the East Oregonian and by MISS
Fleek, librarian OF the public library
who Is from wisconsin and is anxious
to learn of western ways and condi-
tions. She had 'joy ride" on board
the Caterpillar" and declares she en-
loved the experience immensely.
"The caterpillar engine is the right
thing and II does the work." said Mr..
Crow, as he stood by the side of his
auto and watched the crawling mon
ster 90 along, at what would be fast
walk for a horse. and drak four three
bottom plows behind 1t. Chief among
the advantages of the caterpillar are
that it does not have to be fed during
the winter months, it does not have to
be harnessed and embarrassed, 1t does
its work faster than horses and IL
saves hired man or two.
At this time Claude Crow, son OF
John Grow. Is serving as ehauffeur
for the caterpillar and he has one
man to care for the plows. with TINS
crew of two men and machine fed
by gasoline. 80 acres of ground Is COW
cred every day.
But the caterpillar is not pertec'

need to make n few improvements
in order to get 1t right" says the
owner OF the Crow machine. Th'
magnetic is too cheap and there are
some other betterments that will come
about in time as the engine Is made
more and more perfect"
Flowing 1900 Acres.
This spring Mr.. Crow is using hi
caterpillar to plow not only his owl
land but TO turn under many acre
for some neighbors. He is farming
500 acres himself, but will ploy {
total of about 1900 acres with tn
machine on its present run.
Not Always Thus.
How did you farm when you frs
came to this country?" Mr. Crow wa
asked. after the workings OF the cat
terpilar and its 12 trailing plows ha'
been duly observed.

made little money the first year. We
used walking plows then. The next
year I had three quarter sections to
farm and I bought two gang plows.
That year l made profit of $5OOO.'
He Also Lost Money.
But wheat farming in Umatila
county has not always been the big
money making business 1t has been
during recent years. Though he
made money in the early days Of his
farming career, John Crow also had
the experience Of "going broke" dur
ing the hard times. 1t was in 1895
that he lost a crop through rain and
had $4,000 mortgage that was due
and could not be paid. When that
mortgage was satisfied Mr. Crow was
in much the same position as when
he arrived in this country, "broke as
dog as he expresses 1t.
However, of late years prosperity
has smiled again upon the farmers
of Umatilla county and especially up
on men who are good managers and
! hard workers like John Grow So
it has come about tina when newcom-
ers ask who some Of the big wheat
| farmers of this section are the name
! Of John crow usually comes NEAR the
head of the list. 1t is sufficient to
say that when he goes from ranch to
ranch to see hok his spring work is
/ proceeding he goes neither afoot or
horseback. He goes by automobile.
\ Progressive Farmer.
Unlike some other big wheatraisers
of this section, John Crow is not a
"standpatter" in the matter of agri-
/ cultural methods. He believes in
progress and is willing to make more
, money than at present If he can as
certain how to do so. Therefore he
is devoting 40 acres of good reserva-
tion land to experimental crops. He
has long had an alfalfa pasture that
has been the envy of other reserva-
\ tion farmers. He is now trying out
some field peas, some millet and su.
gar beets. The field peas were seed.
ed this spring and at the same time
a crop was put in by his neighbor
Charles Hamilton. That the field
pea will grow with success in this
country Mr.. Crow Is hopeful and hi
Is going to give that crop a trial. L
he finds the field pea properly pro
ductive he will use 1t as a summer
fallow crop. In other words, he will
J seed the field peas early in tn
spring, thresh or hog off the croI
early in the summer and then proceed
; with the summer following durlnl
the rest Of the season. In this wa.
he is following out the suggestions o
