in the use of heel and mallet cuttings
lies in the greater certainty of devel-
oping roots. The principal drawback
is that only one cutting can be made
from each lateral branch
When 1t Is desired to make the lar
gest number Of cuttings from a limit
ed supply Of stock. cuttings are made
containing but one bud each. Such
cuttings are commonly started under
glass with bottom heat either in green
house or hotbed.
Cuttings are usually made with two
or more buds. The cuttings are made
while the wood is dormant during the
fall or early winter. As fast as made
they are tied In bundles Of twenty five
or fifty tbutts oil one way) and buried
bottom end mp In trench and covered
to depth Of two or three inches with
sand or mellow soil Cuttings may also
be kept over winter in cool cellar
buried IN sand. sawdust or moss.
The following spring cuttings are set
about three inches apart in trench
with only the topmost bud or buds
above the surface. The soil is then
replaced in the trench and thoroughly
packed. In planting. the cuttings
should be exposed to light and air as
little as possible After being planted
the cutting should develop roots and
put forth leaves, and by the next fall
or spring 1t should be ready to put out
Herbaceous or soft wood cuttings
are exemplified in the "slips' used to
increase the numbers Of house plants.
This method OF propagation can be
employed In the winter time under
glass. Herbaceous cuttings may be
made from the leaf or stem.
Leaf cuttings are commonly employ.

GRAND JURY ASKS
 FOR INSTRUCTION

Hhen the &rand jury filed into the district court last Monday, the body asked the court for instructions re garding their duties and had Judge Fuller give them legal opinions upon matters which weighed heavily with them. The instructions were given the jury upon complaint made by District Attorney Crossley regardine interference the judicial body is re ceiying from outsiders in connection with the matters which are to come mp for investigation.
 After the jury had filed into court Mir Grossley explained that certain per sons, probably through lack of under standing in that regard had addressed communications to the grand jury dealing with cases pending or advis- ing the jury what to do and investi gate. It was stated that the jury had ,een asked to reinvestigate the Wash ington-Alaska lank case while another had d request for an infcstisation of license matters.
 In giving his instructions, Judge Fuller, taking the opinion handed down by Justice Field, of California, as precedent, quoted the California iurist to tn. effect that under no circumstances should the grand jury act upon or receive letters com were received they should be turned over to the district attorney for action. such communication with the grand jury is criminal offenSe and is pun iShable with d fine of $1.o00 or six months imprisonment.

It was at this tine that he first seemed to realize the enormity of his offense and that he must suffer for his act.
 When asked through an interpreter if he had anything to say why he should not be sentenced he replied with request to speak with the judge in private This was denied and when asked again he stated that he did not intend to commit murder when he stabbed borossco-that the offense was committed in a passion of rage without full knowledge of what he was doing.
 In passing sentence. Judge Fuller stated that the affair had been thor oughly investigated and that the de- fendant had just hearing. He then

TOMMY M'SMART WAS
 NOT ENTIRELY DEAD

Last weeks issue of The Citizen contained the story of the attempt of Tommy McSmart. the former Fair banksan, to commit suicide in Seattle some time ago by drinking chloro- form. From the information then at hand it was not expected that Tommy would recover as he was still in an unconscious condition at the hospital
 Advices have since been received by a Fairbanks friend from McSmart tell
 ing of the affair. He states that while representing a coast business firm he met some former friends in Seat tie and they held private celebra- tion in which too much liquor play ed an important part. After the festivities were over he went to his apartments and being rather thirsty and not knowing what he was doing he drank the chloroform. He states that for time after the occurrence he was very ill. but now he is as we'll as ever again and attending to the business of his firm.

MUCH ACTIVITY
 AROUND TANANA

According to George Hinton Henry. from Panama, much prospecting is be- Ing done in that district this winter and as consequence the town at the mouth of the Panama river is enjoy ing an increased activity. Many min CTS from the koyukuk. Chandlar. In dian river and other Yukon camps ou,fitted there this winter and are now hauling their supplies to the scene of operations
 A new discovery was made last summer on Moran creek. a tributary uf the Yukon river. about 20 miles be low town and because of its proxi- mity much interest was taken in tn, new discovery. About 20 claims were located during the stampede and con. siderable prospecting is now being done on the creek The ground k prospects have been found.
 The Indian river district is also the scene of considerable activity and further discoveries are looked for there this winter. \ little excite ment was caused by good find made last summer and prospectors rushed into the district from Panama and also Ruby. It is estimated that the gold yield in that camp last summer was s21.oOO and double that sum is looked for next year
 Fox farming is becoming an indus try at many points along the Panama river and the animals are particularly numerous this winter While coming np to Fairbanks. Mr. Henry. states that a large silver gray fox crossed the trail but q short distance in front of him. There are at least six farms for the raising of fox located between Panama and Fairbanks and some of them have secured some hisi priced animals
 At the Morrison farm, which is To- cated at Hot Springs. there is one black fox and two crossed black foxes The Ban farm. At Baker. has three black foxes. The Vachon fox farm at Tolovana, is also reported to have several valuable animals which are being raised for breeding purposes The Indians along the river are out trapping and while making good catch es they have not yet started in the busness of fox raising They obtain the animals for their furs

 When the malady first broke out in the city it was not thought that the production would not be interfered with as all of the cases had been con fined to younger children.

 Similar rich finds have been made in pockets in this district before The gold found is rather coarse and chunky. When the finds are made il is always found that the pay runs out entirely after short time and is lost. Mir.
