with $50 other outfits and some hun
dreds of tons of miscellaneous
freight, are my supplies. They were
carefully packed by one Of the best.
Alaska outitters in Seattle to pre-
vent disintegTation en- route.
The assortment of stuff aboard this
boat is unique. In the hold there is
everything from mining machinery
to the complete fixtures for a saloon,
including a 60-foot bar. The bar is
Grated in two pieces, and getting it
aboard was one Of the finest pieces
of stevedoring seen here in a decade.
Since it became known that
would sail on the Northwestern for
Cordova en- route to the new gold
fields l have become one of the $50
most popular men in town. This day
has been taken up with an almost
continuous confidential chat with
folks who can't go, but who are will
ing to confer on me power of attor-
ney to stake a placer claim for them
at Shushanna. Each gave strong as
surances of his ability to get funds
to work 'our claim" should l strike
it rich.
Declaration that l was not going
to get gold, but stories and pictures
for The Day Book was invariably fol-
lowed by boots of disbelief.
Fortunately the mining laws of
Alaska prevent the use Of more than
two powers of attorney by any one
man, else the good steamer North
western would never get away. She
would sink at the dock, overloaded
with legal papers. The rush is less
than Is days old. What a madhOuse
this dock will be when the next
steamer sails! Every berth has been
sold on it already.
We are scheduled to sail at g
O'Clock, but it is 6 already and the
pile of freight on the dock seems no
smaller than it was at 8 O'clock this
morning.

ders to merchants here for supplies.
Auto trucks from the wholesale
house have been adding to the pile
on the dock as fast as the stevedores
make room for more freight.
The cable which made this rush
order service possible is operated by
the United States army signal ser
vice, together with a great wireless
system which covers nearly all Of
Alaska. It is the first move toward
the opening Of the territory by the
government. 1t is one of the most
extensive systems for the amount of
business handled in the world. Con-
sidering this, the rates for CONNER
cial messages are low. Ten words
may be sent from Seattle to Cordova
for S2.40 or from Nome for $3.50.
There was no cable when the rush
to Dawson started, and little informa-
ton about what could be expected on
the trip or what to prepare for could
be obtained in advance. This time
every one knows just where he is
going and that the trip cannot be
made with any degree Of safety with
out a pack horse.
This horse question caused more
grief and cuss words along the water
front during the last two days than
anything else. Men who had not
made the trip didn't realize that pas
senger boats have room for only a
limited number of animals, that the
bureau of animal industry has to
pass on. each horse, and that the
shipper has to furnish feed for his
horse en- route.
Only 81 horses could be taken on
the Northwestern.
Mine was the fifty-frst-thanks to
the courtesy Of the Alaska steamship
company in providing an extra stall

measured the deck-space.
In closing let me acknowledge the

top and the facers and the barrel filled with fruit free from defects of any kind. It is very important that the barrel be well shaken each time basketful of fruit is put in as the fruit will be tight in the barrel and require less pressing of the head and consequently less bruising of the fruit.
 The markets are not filled with an overproduction of good fruit. It is the over-production of poor fruit that knocks down the price Of good fruit,
 There is never time Chat large, well-matured apple will not bring a fancy price in any market. And when nothing but this class is put into a barrel handsome profit is realized. Retailers buy fruit from it's outward appearance and when they purchase package of seemingly nice fruit and find on opening it that inferior stuff is packed between, that does the grower as far as that man is con cerned.

Wanted Senator b Look lip Prospective Wife

T HE other day Senator Knute Nel- x son was startled by the receipt of letter which contained the fol- lowing clipping from publication called Cupid's Column. His surprise grew as he read the clipping, which was as follows:
 '27S3 Washington, D. C.-I am a young widow, twenty-five years of age. No children; 5-6, 130 pounds, blonde hair, gray eyes, very good form, good disposition, French Methodist; have small income; like both city and country life. Would like to core spond with some young man matri- mentally inclined See my photo"
 To the right of this touching mis- siye vas. a picture, also clipped from a newspaper, Of a remarkably pretty girl, wearing a low collar and ali elaborate picture hat.
 The senator, who is over seventy years of age and married, at once be gan to suspect that some widow had her eyes on him. But taking another look into the envelope he found the following letter and a photograph of young man. The letter read:
 .'I am mailing your picture and your description, said the note, ito the city of Washington, D. c. l hope you will get it and write to me at once, for I am a young bachelcr, and my father owns farm in Minnesota,

ASHINGTON.-Pres Wilson's
 new commissioners for the Dis trict of Columbia are planning to pro vide the national capital with public golf links, and golfers already are wagering that when the new links are available the chief executive will be found playing on them
 At present he gives the two so- called fashionable golf clubs the go- by and motors over the hills of Vir- ginia, where the common folks main tain the Washington Golf club.
 The membership of the club is made Up mainly of government clerks and other persons who have to look sharp to make both ends meet hnafl- cialiy. The democracy of the play ground seemed to appeal to the pres ident.
 All golfers agree that golf is played for either one CT two purposes-exer- else or pleasure. If you play good game, you play for pleasure. If your game is bad, you play for exercise and you get plenty of it.
 Now, the President is not so bad

 Feed Fowl Meat

Meat in some form must be fed to poultry; they must have animal mat ter. Fowls running on free ranges where insects are plentiful obtain a sufficient supply of animal matter, but those kept in closer quarters must be given this food in another form Finely chopped fresh meat is an excellent bone and muscle builder for the young stock, but should not be fed more than two or three times a week Green bone, cut freshly just before feeding, is equally as beneficial, but must also be fed with judgment as to how much and how often. Meat foods assist feather, bone, muscle, and comb development, consequently too much is apt to cause foo much forcing along these lines.

This Job Hunter Certainly Was Good Guesser

A STORY which is going around the "A Hobbies and cloakrooms at the capitol in these days of scant patron age had it's origin at the national capital with Secretary Redfield of the department of commerce.
 Tt happened at a time when there was keen rivalry for government DO sitions," said Secretary Redfield, that young man named Allen de- sired place in the postoffice depart ment and applied to his congressman. He was told he could get no place until a vacancy arose. He waited for several weeks and one day, when his money was nearly exhausted, he went down to a beach nearby. There were many people bathing there and among ttssm was a man whom Allen recognized as clerk in the division which he sought for place.
 This clerk ventured beyond hfs depth and was drowned. When the body was brought ashore Allen hur- ried up to his congressman and ex- claimed:
 ",1scan have that job now. There Is a vacancy!'

TT HE people who know how to run \ the United States government better than the men who made it are numerous, and they always have their information on tap. The other day a woman, who is tired of government interference, wrote to Secretary Mc- Adoo as follows.
 Hon. Secty McAdloo.
 Sir Why do it for you to perse- cute the little stocks of Steel and New Haven and Telefun. Only little I have and now all gone so that cant make any will to give to my oun.

 Dear Senator: This young woman lives in your city. Please look her up for me, as I want to marry her. 1 put her photograph outside the en- ve1ope, but the postoffice authorities returned it to me. If you will look her up and tell her to write me I will be much obliged to you anG will re- member your kind favor"
 All the senator said when hs dropped the envelope and it's contents into the wastebasket was:
 He wants me to open a matri- moniaI agency for his special benefit Now, I'll do any number of things for the people, but I'll be blamed if will do that"

Plan Public Golf Links at the National Capital

as they make them, by quite long way, but he still is in the exercise class.
 He plays golf for the good it does him and because he never expects to make his living teaching golf to be- ginners.
 He goes out to the club with two automobiles. He is in the front one with Dr. Cary Graysen, while the sec ond carries a secret service man or two
 The president usually reaches the club about 3:30
 He plays the first nine holes very leisurely, without the least sign Of having to hurry back to the White House. Then he usually cuts off to the seventeenth, playing that hole and the eighteenth. Then, without going into the club house, he gets into the automobile and rides back to the White House.
 With the president, golfing serves as no silk-stecking amusement. He never plays golf with the nabobs of the town. His almost exclusive golf ing companion is Dr. Grayson.
 Indeed, President Wilson has not devoted himself in the least to nak- ing friends in the wealthy.
 Indeed, if the president were in pur- suit of society, he would not play golf at the Washington Golf club. So- ciety is not found there-not the kind that is spelled with capitals. SOCI- ETY abides at the Chevy Chase club.

 In handling the apple crop success fully it is important to have a suf1i- cfent number of ladders, receptacles, sorting tables and all accessories on hand. The early apple must be gath cred and shipped promptly. They may be sent to market in one.third, one-half, or one bushel boxes CT baskets; but little later these small three bushel barrel is the proper thing
 Prices are most always good at the beginning of the apple season, even for green cookers. and this induced some to pick and ship half-grown Ben Davis and other winter varieties. But experience has proven that this is folly, as the market is soon overload ed with poor, green apples and the returns are next to nothing
 This gut is apt to continue as long as the warm weather lasts; be- orchards neither sprayed or cultiyat- ed, in which the apples begin falling from the trees early; and they are picked and rushed to market to avoid loss from this cause.
 In picking apples some prefer the use of baskets while others prefer sacks. However, they both have their advantages and disadvantages The advantage of using a basket lies en- tirely in the fact that the apples are carefully placed in the same they are not bruised and the blooms if there be any are not rubbed off.
 The objections to the baskets are that they are not so handy as the sacks and that careless pickers are disposed to toss apples into them as they hang on limb or stand upon the ground several feet away.
 The advantage of using a sack is that it can be slung over the shoul- der with strap and the mouth kept open with part of a barrel hoop

Dried Corn.

Sweet corn may be dried in the same way as beans. Prime sweet corn, when properly dried, properly stored and nicely cooked, is excellent and is preferred by some to canned corn. Select corn that is just right for table. Be sure it is not too cid. Husk it and carefully remove all silks. Plunge the corn into boiling water, and allow it to cook four or five minutes. Cut it from the cob, and put it on plates or trays to dry.

basket from the limbs, thus enabling the picker to use both hands.
 In picking apples every specimen should be handled as carefully as if it were an esg. l usually have my apples picked and piled under the trees in the shade and take the bar rels to the orchard and pack as fast as possible, When the barrels are filed and headed I haul to the shed and stow away in as cool place as possible, until I get enough to fill car
 The packing should be done by an experienced hand as this is Of great importance and is always the danger point. layer of uniform apples even in size and color should be placed on the inside of the barrel and another layer of similar fruit put on

".Where? said the congressman.
 Why, clerk in that division was drowned this afternoon.
 The congressman looked at him sadly. T regret to inform you, he said, that you are too late; the place has been filled.
 How can that be?' shouted Allen, The man has just been drowned!'
 Yes. I know, answered tho con gressman. but the place was obtained by Massachusetts man who saw the clerk go in swimming. He made a correct guess that the clerk could not swim and made his application by telephone ten minutes before the clerks body wss brought to saas+.

sewed into the edge of the mouth and partly around the opening, allowing the picker to easily carry it and use both hands.
 The objections are that the blooms are likely to be rubbed off the fruit and the shifting of the sack puts many small bruises on the apples where they rub against each other which, with light colored or delicate skinned varieties is quickly noticed

Most Important News.

The reaction which followed from the
high Of the day and wiped out all the
earlier gain was due TO the deferment
Of tine gold shipment engaged from the
other side for some days. The chances
are considered questionable. as the Bank
Of England may be forced. to raise its
rate OF discount today and thus check
the export movement on the eve OF its
insuguration.
This was the dominant influence that
turned stocks from the high to about
the low Of the session.
Then covering by shorts turned the
tide and the list came back again TO
