TELLS HOW TO CUT
COST OF LIVING
Establish Direct Relations Be-
tween Farmers and COnsum-
ers," Says Mrs. Dunk

There are many factors that enter
into the absurdly high prices that we
pay Tor groceries. rent. delivery, fancy
packages, bad bills and for our own
Jolly and Indifference. said Mrs. A. o.
Dunk, president OF the Housewives
league, in lively meeting in the Uni
tartan church. In which central
chapter was organized, Wednesday
afternoon.
Mrs. Charles V. Bear was made
chairman OF the new chapter.
Farmers and others who wish TO
furnish the housewives with produce
and stocks of other goods are contin-
ually asking the women TO establish
store OF their own. The leaders OF
the movement have had such action IN
mind some time, but are hesitating
because they do not want TO take the
financial responsibility of the venture.
The most direct method OF solving
the high cost of living asserted Mrs.
Dunk, is TO establish direct relations
between farmers OF dependable hon
esty and consumers. ! am receiving
hundreds OF letters from men who
want TO sell provisions at reduced
rates, honey for instance at 10 cents
as against the grocer's %; potatoes at
35 cents as against the SO paid now In

A motion was passed that the league
cooperate with the animal welfare
committee of the Twentieth Century
club In an attempt to stop crueltles to

vent the sale In the markets OF anil

CONSERVATION OF BIRD
LIFE AND ITS IMPORTANCE

We are living in an age whom the uucs
tion of conservation is one Of vital nm
portance, and concerning this question
Clifford IinchOt has said: "Our greatest
problem in connection with the conserva-
ton Of our natural resources is the pres
ervation Of the wild bird life of our
country"
In order to realize how essential is
conservation "i"i- this lin", let us con-
slider how it affects 0JT daily lives. and
the interests tlus involved. Here W" have
- question Of natural importance. for the
birds are one of the cOuntry'S most vHlu-
able economic assets because Of the close
relation which they bear to an forms of
agriculture.
As the foundation of the wealth of this
national prosperity must depend largely
on the success of this industry. This has
been proven again and again, for inVaria .
bly, with the failure. Of, crops comes the
see that this question affects not merely
the farmer, but the banker manufacturer
and tradesman as well. In fact it mat
ters not what our daily work may bc.
we are all primarily dependent upon the
success Of agriculture.
President TAFT. in an address on Con
SclVatiOn of Soil. states that in 1911
there We're H1%. 729, ,ooo acres of farm land
in the United States EVe:y acre Of this
land has its host of insect. weed and ro-
dent foes which cause Il yearly loss to
over billion and half dollars. Dr
r S Palmer of the United states biolugi-
cal survey, has said: among thc most
potent agents in checking such losses are
iusectivorous and seed-eating birds, ana
the importance of their preservation.
while difficult to measure. in dollars and
cents. is self evident.
With the introduction of new crops has
also come the Introduction of new pests,
examples of which are the Hessfan fly.
San Jose scale and COdling moth. These
usually go unnotced until they become
too numerous to be eXtermnated. once
however, they are here to
stay and add their toll to the immense
loss already levied on the farmer aud
fruit grower by native insects.
While luuCh time ard money are being
spent in trying to find artificial methods
.'n..t"ONrn@ these pests. we too often
overlook one of natures means of con-
trolling them--the birds While ii may
be an easy matter to destroy the birds
ON Il farm. it is not SO eHsN to control
the insect. weed and rodent foes whicn
are, sure to follow such destruction, for
it is a well established fact that the de-
ytrIction of the useful blvd life of this
has been followed by Il marked
increase in those poets which deNastate
the crnps and by subsequent loss to the
farm and fruit grower. ON the other
hand the protection Of the useful bird
population on the farm or in the orchard
is sure to bring abundant reward in t3"

TO CONTROL RATES
ON COAST BOATS

OLYMPIA, Wash, May 1G.-some Of
the small boat owners on Puget sound
are just learning that they come under
the jurisdiction of the interstate com
merce commission and as result they
may have to file trafiicS with that body
at Washington ID. c., as well as with the
state public service commission. For in
stance. the small tugboat owner who
tows "a load of shingles from some point
on Puget sound to Seattle, Tacoma or
some other point for shipment by rail
out of the state. is handling an inter
state shipment and therefore he is under
the jurisdiction of the interstate body.
The same is true of the Steamboat or
launch owners who pick mp a cargo sent
in from some outside point for delivery
at any of the smaller ports of this state.
To fill out the blanks and reports re-
,lured 10y the interstate commerce com
mission it is stated. will require weeks

RICH FIND 0N
 FAIRBANKS Ck.
Fairbanks Creeks Latest Find is Said to be the Richest Yet
 Uncovered

'The best thing ever found in the camp in the way of quartz prospect, without any exception" /" Is the way Angus McDOugall characlerizes the find reported last week by Critics and Feldman on above left limit of Fairbank 5 creek. and the veteran quartz man of the camp knows whereof he speaks, for he has been in the quartz game since the carly days of the camp, and he himself holds the rich Pioneer property. which he is now developing.
 Mr. McDOugall had just visited the Critics and Feldman strike, which is well upon the hill be- tween a half mile and mile from the creek. The two prospectOrS have a well defined ledge two feet in thickness, mineraliZed from wall to wall, which MT. McDougalI in his conservative way estimates will go better than $75 to the ton all the way across. And more i'm pOrtant still, the two boys have stripped this pay ore for $50 feet with a series of trenches and shallow holes, and il shows the same values all Nf that distance.
 In addition tO IT," rich two foot ledge, Critics and Feldman have a second lcdga, parallel to the first one. only 50 feet away. This vein is i8 inches in width and carries ore that will mill from SiO io $15 to the ton. Naturally, lying as close as this, both lodges can be mined from the same working shaft.
 While down on the creek, Me dougall took occasion to visit the Cook brothers workings on if above, where they uncovered a three or four-inch stringer of ex- ceptionally rich orc two weeks ago!He intimates that the stories of the rock going $tO to the pound is not exaggerated, for he saw slabs of ore several inches in length with seams and plates of free gold howing at the side.

DUST THIEVES
 FOUND GUILTY
of Stealing TWenty-nlne Thousand Dollars In 0oId. Dust on Flat
 Crock Claim

After four days triat Louis German, charged with holding up the tram between this place and Flat on September 2i, last year, and stealing s29.OOO in gold dust from George Friend, was found guilty as charged. The jury de- liberated but two hours. Although 40 witnesses were examined, the evidence of James Hagan is re- garded tn De mainly responsible for the man'S conviction.
 Hagen, who arrived too late in bc q witness in the BrnnScn case last week, positively identified the lparka and Slick"r produced as the property of Bronson and GOrinan. These articles were used by the robbers during the hOld-up. and this testimony practically clinch- ed the corVictinn. IL is generally approved, but there are not want = ing a number of skcptics.
 The second trial of Bronson began Thursday and both Thurs day and Friday were occupied get ting a jury. The witnesses in the case are now being examined, and the impression is that Bronson will share the fate of his partner
 Attorneys Maltby and COke-IIill are defending the men in an able manner and the court room has
 been crowded throughout the en- tire proceedings. Many of the vr- ,niremen were objected to by tho counsel and many of the Objcc- lions sustained by the court. All were put through searching cx-
 animation to find if the jurors had
 any preconceivcd notion as to thc guilt OF innocence of the accused as is general throughout smal
 camp like the IditarOd.

DYKE: BILL LACKED
 HELP N HOUSE
Record shows That Only Efficient Support Was by Nelson In
 tho Senate

Valde missed getting the S55,- 900 dike appropriation by a scratch because it had no active packer in the House. Senator Nelson secured passage of the it. em in the Rivers and Harbors bill in the Senate. The item was not in the House Rivers and Harbors bill, and when the bills passed by the two houses went to confer ence. Senator Nelson, chairman of the Senate cOnferecs, held up the bill for eight weeks in an eff fort to get the Valdez item through. The House confrrees would not agree and Nelson final ly had to yield in order to let the bill go through.
 Senator Nelson then had the dike item placed upon the Gen eral Deficiency, Appropriation bill and il passed the Senate. In con- ference upon the bill the House cOnfcrees insisted upon striking out the dike item. Representa- tive Fitzgerald, of New York, who was chairman of the House con- ferees on both bills, made this statement in the House on August F2i Congressional Record. p. i2- :9iO):
 "An item of s55,OOO to protect Valdez, Alaska. against tho pIa- Icial floods has been placed upon this bill. It was on the River and Harbor bill, and it held up agree ment on that bill for some eight weeks. The Senate finally reced- ed from it's amendment on the River and HarbOr bill and is in Sisting at this late hour that the
