NO DANGER OF
 FOOD SUPPLY FAILURE

KANSA SCITY, Oct, 31.-America need be in no fear of a shortage of meat or other foodstuffs. All that is needed is more careful use of the land, and more complete use of it, such as is tanght in the agricultural colleges, thinks A. L. Bauwens, of Brussels, Bel gium, who is inspector general of the agricultural colleges of the kingdom. MT. Bauwens is the head of the force of sub-inspectors or supervisors who keep constantly in touch with the work of all the agricultural schools.
 Don't be frightened at high prices of food, and don't be afraid that the time is at hand when you'll not find it possible to raise all that you need in America" said MT. Bauwens. "You haven't begun to use your soil here. There is enough untitled land in the country to support the entire popula- tion."

SOME GOLD IN
 INNOkO COUNTRY

While Cripple and Colorado creeks, Innoko district, on which gold was struck last fall, did not have a fair trial this year on account of the dry weather that interfered with work. enough was accomplished during the season to demonstrate that they con- tain sufficient gold in places to war rant their being worked, according to Charles Hull, who has spent four years in the InnokO, Iditarod and KuskOkwim countries. Mir. Hull is a pioneer of the North, having stam- peded to Dawson in 1897.
 Colorado and Cripple creeks are spotted" said Mir Hull. That much has been demonstrated, though there has not been enough work done to tell how rich they are. It is known that there are spots that it will pay to work. The total output of Cripple creek this year did not exceed $1O.- OOO"
 MT. Hull says POOrman creek, in the Ruby district, located half way be- tween Cripple creek and Long creek. but on the Yukon side of the divide. is also spotted, but that there, too, the drought prevented sufficient develop ment this year to make anything ap- preaching an adequate demonstration of the value of the creek.
 "The exceptionally dry season hit the whole InnokO and Ruby districts hard" said Mr. Hull, "and prevented prospectors from accomplishing as much as they had hoped to accom- plish this year"
 MT. Hull arrived in Juneau from Skagway last night He came out by way of Dawson. After spending a few days in Juneau he will go to his old home at Papa, California, and later go to the Chisana if reports from there are favorable,

BRITAIN LARGEST
 WARSHIP LAUNCHED

PORTSMOUTH, Eng, Oct, 31,-The oil burning turbine battleship, the Queen Elizabeth, carrying a tremen dous armament, was launched at the Royal Navy Dockyards here for the British navy,
 Her keel was laid on Oct 21, 1912 but the details of her construction have been kept secret.
 It is generally believed that her arm, ament is to consist of ten 15-inch guns mounted in pairs in barbettes.
 Under ordinary circumstances the carrying of such a big battery would imply a considerable increase in dis placement, but the substituting of oil tanks for coal bunkers means great saving in weight and space.

 WHILE HUNTING

 Mir. Tweit in company with Ben Peterson left Juneau for a hunt on Ad- miralty island with the launch Mel rose. They went ashore at Eliza har- bOr last Wednesday morning. Tweit carried both a shotgun and rifle when he found there were no ducks on the flats he started to hang the shotgun on small tree when the gun was ac- cidentally discharged at close range. The flesh was cauterized by the burn powder and this probably saved him from bleeding to death. His com panion poured some brandy into the wound and whatever first aids that were on hand were used. The Raven was hailed and the 9O-mile run made to Juneau last night.
 Peter Tweit is one of the most pop- ular men in Juneau, He was a cand- date for the Alaska legislature on the Socialist ticket and again stood as a Socialist party candidate for the city council in the last election.
