 The following fish story comes from Iditarod: Natives catch black fish in winter and cache them for dog feed. When food is scarce the Indians them selves will eat the fish. At such times they are brought from the cache hard frozen and dumped into the frying pan. The fish then become active and often jump out of the pan and founder around on the floor before caught and made to serve the family breakfast.
 Up to the present time there is not quite half as much freight in sight for the foot of the lake as came last year, when about nine hundred tons were handled by local freighters. Then the river and lake were both in very bad condition, snow several feet deep being found much of the way. This year, when the river and leke are in the best condition ever known, the shipments will not exceed one-half those of last year.-Whitehorse Star.
 Ruby City, Feb. 11-There is no longer any doubt as to the future of this camp, and the prospects for big boom are of the rosiest kind. The town itself is deserted, as practically every body is out on the creeks trying to get chance to do some stalking. There is large number of outfits on every creek working hard and everybody is excited with the prospects. Ruby will ask the government for an appropria ton of S150,000 to build roads to the the creeks, and the cooperation of Fair banks is solicited. On Midnight there is now positively lined up six miles of pay running from g to S8 to the foot, and on Long creek there is an undoubted pay streak three miles long.
 The senate committee has reported favorably on the bill introduced in congress to appropriate funds for the purpose of assisting the city of Valdez in their fight to destroy the huge glacier which is threatening to destroy the town. The committee recommends the appropriation of S55,o00 with which to commence the fight for extermiuat ing the huge body of ice which aunu' ally encroaches on the domain of the town. An effort will be made to skill" the glacier by the use of dynamite. It will be broken up as much as possible in the hopes that summer heat will melt it faster than the huge snow fields can pour forth the frozen product, thus causing the glacier to recede and 'die."

Alfalfa Versus Glover.

The New Jersey station reports that
the average yield per annum of green
clover to the acre is 14,0OO pounds anl
Of green alfalfa $4,000 pounds: the pro
tein in the clover is GIG pounds and in
the alfalfa 2,2l4 pounds; one ton of Il!
falfa has 265 pounds of protein and
clover only 246 pounds But afalfa
will produce three. four or more ruI
tings each year. while clover Will pro
duce one or at most two. Further, clio
yer will ordinarily survive bat tive
years, while alfalfa will last from ten
to a hundred. thus saving many pIow
ings and seedlings. 1t is also estimated
that the stubble and root growth Of al
falfa are worth at least four times n
much for humus as are those of clover
while the mechanical and other benet

The Newspaper of Today,

Monroe News-Star:: The newspa-
per of today is the most potent ele-
ment in civilization. It's audience
is practically unlimited. 1t reaches
every class and condition of men,
Ii penetrates to every hut and hovel
on the farthest confines of human
society. The schools have an influ-
ence and gather the children of the
high and low. But after schools
are outgrown, teachers forgotten,
and books mouldy and dusty, the
newspaper is still constant COM
panion. No public speaker, be he
preacher or political orator, can
draw an audience OF one-tenth that
which greets the average newspaper
today, and thus the tone of the press
becomes matter of vital import
anee to the welfare of the commun-.
lty. The influence is widespread
and is also lasting. Therefore We
say, study well the contents OF the
newspaper you are taking, and il 1t
contains that which tends TO lower
the scale of humanity and morality
and moi to the elevation of that
which is good and right, better are
you by far without it

RIGHTS OF PRESS.
Brief Filed In Supreme Court to
Test Publicity Law,

Former Assistant Attorney Genera
james NJ. Beck lied in the United
States supreme court his brief in the
case brought by the Lewis Publishing
company to test the CONSTITUTIONS a lity
OF the newspaper publicity law.
The brief discusses fully the power
OF the Federal government Indirectly
to censor the press through the regu
tions OF the mails and it reviews 1T
length the struggle Ia England and
America TO free the press from re.
straint and the meaning of the FRS,
amendment, forbiddinR any abridse-
ment Of the freedom OF the press.
Mr.. Beck srgues that ss the consti-
tuition did not expressly give any
power to regulate journalism, any at
tempted regulation can only be justi-
ted ~ necessary and proper means to
carry out some Federal function.
He denies that the regulation of
newspaper ownership and the enforced
publicity OF its business can be ppro.
pirate means OF carrying out Federal
power over the mails.

THE CAUSES OF
STRINGY CREAM
Unclean Utensils More Often to
Blame Than the Cow.

When a cow gives stringy cream, in
majority of cases she is not to blame.
but the condition Of the cream is pure
ly due to bacteria in the milk vessels.
utensils, etc, says DR.. Alexander in
Farm Journal. The bacillus is known
as bacillus lactis viscosus' and is de
rived from surface water, dust and
stable floors. 1t may enter the udder
by way Of the teats. but such cases are
rare. 1t should also be stated that
where the cow Is known to be affect
ed the germs present In her udder or
dinarily are those causing garget (mam
mitis or inflammation of the udder).
Clean sour milk. due to the presence
Of the Tactic acid bacteria, will destroy
the viscosus bacillus; hence 1t has been
proposed by Professor A. w Rudnick
Of Kansas. experiment station to coat
with such sour milk the walls. uten
sils and everything that comes in con
tact with the milk that has formed
ropy cream. WhItewashing with fresh
made lime wash is the common prac
tlce In such cases. Also scrupulously
cleanse and sun dry all milk utensils
Purify the washing water by adding to
each two or three gallons of water, one
teaspoonful of solution OF one tea
spoonful OF sodium or calcium hypo
chlorite to one quart of water.
To see II the COW Is to blame set
sample Of milk fren, each teat in
separate vessel II all Of the samples
become similarly ropy The. COW is no,
likely affected, but IL ene sample
two-becomes stringy. then 1t Is likely
that the cow has garget and should be
treated for that trouble.
