Fruit Prospects Good

Chas. P. Hartley and R. B. Will
son have been examining the fruit
buds in the valley this week and
report splendid prospects for a
big crop o. peaches on the slope,
and a small crop in the valley,
where the buds have been some
what injured. On the slope, how
ever, where the great bulk OF the
peach orchards are located the
buds are in perfect condition. This
is accounted for by the fact that
trees went into the winter in
prime condition and that at no
time has the temperature register
ed TO exceed 4 below zero, aIthoug

Farmer Gregg, who had charge
of the dairy part o. the program,
is probably the most noted auth
ority on dairying in this country
and his services as a lecturer and
as judge of stock, and his ad-
vice are eagerly sought from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. His nick
name fits him well. He is 20
years of age, but his heart and
his inclinations are as young as
a 16-year-old boy. He is a pleas
ing and impressive talker and make
every word count. His home is at
Lynd, Mimi, where he owns
dairy of $50 cows. He is known
as the father of the farmers in
stitltte in Minnesota and has been
active in institute work for 25
years. The greater portion of his
time during the winter months is
devoted to this work and his labors
cover the entire Northwest.
Emmett was chosen as the first
place in which TO begin the in
stitute work in southern Idaho this
year. From here the party went

said road as herein set out, that
the said road be accepted as a
county road, and that the necessary
bridges and culyerts along the route
thereof be constructed by the cuon-
".
The route of the new road is
along Squaw creek, following the
valley a greater part of the dis
tance, thus obyiating the grades
and rocks of the present road on
the upland, which becomes almos
impossible in the winter months
on account of the mud and hot and
dusty in the summer time The
new route has been surveyed and
an easy grade found over land of
sandy formation. The eHterpris
ing people of Sweet and Ola and
the farmers between have subscrib
ed sufficient funds to build the roaC
and by the terms OF the agreemen
with the county commissioners, th1
county will build the bridges and

Emmett should now take up the
long-talked of proposition to place
the north side river road between
this city and Sweet in good condi-
ton and thus complete the link.
The south side road is in a deplor
able state and almost impSsable. To

 HUMANE MOVEMENT,

Following the complexion of the third year If existence Of the Child ren's Humane Society, formed by the children of the Sitka School for the purpose of securing the humane treatment oF all animals, they have started on their fourth year with the determination to endeayor to extend the movement throughout the North land. Much good has been done by the children in this humanitarian movement during the past years in which they have been engaged in the protection to dumb animals move menL
 The following letter has been. re- ceiyed from member ot the SitNa society in which the school children Ot this city are asked to assist III spreading the work of the socicuy throughout the cites Of Aiaska:
 Sitka, Alaska, March gg. 'l2. Editor of Daily Alaskan,
 SKagway, Alaska,
 Dear sir
 The Sitka Public Schools has become a branch of the "ChiIdrou s National Humane Society" which has its headquarters at ITS E. 2Sh St, New York City. The children have been so interested in it that they thought the other Alaskan towns might like to organize a similar so- Ciety. The branch in Sitka started in the year 1909 in this way: The boys of the school found a crow that had a broken wing and they were treating 1t so cruelty that th, tcach- CTS thought 1t would be very rood plan to start a Humane Society
 Our main object is to protect aG dumb and harmless animals from any kind of abuse. This is not al- ways an easy task. for people srorr sometimes and even object to our or- forts. The children. however. arc pledged to report at every mac''na if they sec any acrsou abusing ami mals. and if the members do mol rulriI the laws they are either rv- rellcd or suspended from tho soair.y for a certain timc. We hovc found it to have helped Sltka in many wave. Wiu you help Us in such a move mcnt. and try to interest tho cnll1 ron of Skagwav?

"ELEcTRlo RAIL" MAY
 SOLVE RAIL PROBLEM.

NEW YORK, April An open hearth stele rail finished by an elec- trical process now being perfected by the United states Steel corporation is the chief present hope of the steel makers and railroad men who are looking for a solution of the baG fling rail problem. In the mills the new rail is known a8 tho "clectric rail" and a statement by one of the railroad presidents who attended the recent rail conference explains:
 "Ir this electrical process does not contain the secret, then wo shall have to rely on a rail heavier than that VIC have been using We shall have to put in a 1O0-p3ul rail at a cost of more than $30 a ton.
 At conference with the steel me last week We demanded that more be rut off the ends of thc rails after they had been rolled and more cul url the ends o. tIo in-Ots before they were rolled. The f1oa of this is to prevent air holes and other defects. The steel men are averse to this un- less We consented ta pay more for tbn product However, in thc end they agreed to maEe a concession aDI to cut off little moro from the ends, although they declined to go as far as We asked at the pre.cnt price which We think ample.
 "Tu'oss the electric rail solves the problem. my belief is We shaI have 10 put in a heavier rail if wo want i' as hard os thnso now in uao. If rof, wo shah haeo to usc a softer ono. which will woa~ ouf in halr tho fmn"
