EARLY SUNDAY MORNING FIRE

About seven O'Clock last Sunday
morning the fire alarm sounded and the
drowsy den'zens of Glenwood we're
aroused from their slumbers to find
that fire had broken out on Grand
avenue in the room in the Cardneil
building used rs barber shop by
Frank Mechau. The fire department
responded and the fire was finally ex-
tinguished, but not until all Of Mr..
Mechau's tools and fixtures had been
destroyed.
There is no definite clew as to the
manner in which the fire originated.
but as there had been NO fire in the
heating stove for more than twelv.
hours previous to the discovery Of the
blaze and ~ the most Of the fire was
in the back part Of the room, 4 eonsid-
erable distance from the stove, makes
it practically certain that the fire did
not originate from this source.
There was sufficient insurance on
the fixtures and tools to partially cover
the loss. but this is scant consolationtp
Mechau who was getting we'll establish
ed and was counting on = good sum-
mer season.
The building which helence3 ta.-Mr.
Cardneil was completely destroyed and
the adjoining room, occupied. by the
Glenwood Milling company was con-
siderable damaged, but fortunately the
freuen pEtvsnted the flames from
Spreading to the two ROOMS sa the
south, occupied by Kirwin and Hart
nsa.

We believe that. wisely selected
and properly trained expert in the
moro technical and economic phases Of
agriculture has great possibilities As an
aid to the farmer Of any region, who
will welcome and use him. In our
opinion, the wise thing for farmers to
do is to join this movement for local
toward the development of the system
along Legitimate and useful lines. Let
us refuse to utilize no agency which
promises to improve and make mort

THE FAlME1'S AffI-
fUDB TOWARD EIPE1rS

Agriculture is more and nore coming
to be recognized rs an exaeting and
difficult business. Not many sther oe-
cupations require such wide anA varied
knowledge, experience and i. technical
skill to enable one to be supOpsfui.
Striking confirmation Of these state
ments is found in the relatively few
remarkable successes in agriculture.
Compared to the numbers engaSpd 10
farming, the Edisons, Harrimass and
Wanamakers are few and far between.
This is to he expected, however. For
instead of dealings with natural nan
made conditions and things. farmers
come directly in contact with natusa!
conditions and things. To succeed they
must cope with the soil, the weather
and with nature in all her forms. TO
be able to win success under these cir.
eumstances requires prOportionately
greater knowledge and skill than are
necessary in dealing only with aFti-
fic;al forces such rs buildings, msekin-
cry and goods. These are standard sHsl
uniform, they can be understood ssd
controlled to nicely, while nature eaa
only be approximately interpreted sal
subjected to mans will.
Since these things are 20. as farmers
We would welcome all agencies which
promise us a;d in bringing the fosees
Of nature more nearly under our esa-
troll. Our colleges and experiment. sta-
tiOns have learned many sciepGifie
facts which have not been as wiAely
applied as they might have beea IL
their application had been better IN
derstcot. We have paid for the h.
vestigations which have resulted in tSis
more scientific information, at lease, N
part, without receiving all the possSAls
benefit from them. The local farm e.
pert promises to bring to US more u
this benefit.

FARM BUREAU pRoros1r1oN

Watertown, n. Y. Feb. 49,, 1913
Mr.. w. H. Haley, Rifle, Colo; Dear
Sir: l read with much interest the ar
ticle in . Rifle paper on the farm bu-
reau proposition This was in connec-
tion with, you and Frank Sweet and
Cliff Parks meeting with the county
commissioner. and putting the PROPOSE,
tion up to them of getting help from
the national government to help pay
for farm expert for Garfield county
A good many counties in all Of the
eastern and middle states are runainx
what is known - farm bureaus. A
good mas . employed who understands
the needs of the particular community
IN which he is to operate, 20. Is the
editorial intimates, it would not be nee
essary to hire a good man who knows
to go around with the expert and show
him how to do things. As general
thing the people who figure out these
propositions have brains enough to en-
ploy men who "know' to take charge
of this work. This county of jefferson
has = farm bureau man. This will BE-
his second year. He gets $1,000 from
the county, and a certain amount from
the state, national government and the
New York Central railroad. do not
know what these aggregate, but il
makes = good salary for the man, and
he has to earn his salary. There il NJ
question but what he does earn 1t, for
the farmers and business men in this
county would not 70 back TO the old
way Of everyone for himself, as they
were in all the previous years. I will
venture the assertion that there is NO.
one county in the United States tha.
would go back to the old way for twice
what it is costing them. This seems t.
be the best argument in favor Of wha.
. few Of you want to do. These things
have been tried out and proven to be
good for the community. A man who
has tried out 4 proposition and made \
saceess Of it is better guide to 60 by
thal some one who is working on \
theory.
While have in mind / wish
you would write to Kankakee
Soil and Crop Improvement association
at Kankakee, III. They are getting
d 900 from the julius Rosenwald fund.
This fund is Of $1,000, 900 and some
800 counties have taken advantage Of
1t. There are upwards q 1000 com
ties in the country that are going into
the farm bureau work, and there is bu.

When Phil Abrahams was in Juneau a few days ago, he suggested toI members ot the Alaska legislature that they should pass a stringent pure food law. It WIS not SO very long ago that one Of the largest wholesale houses in Seattle had to pay a fine for shipping misbranded extracts to Alaska, but the indica- ttons are that it did not serve to wholly stop the practice.
 The individual consumer can not be expected to tote a labra- tory around with him to test the grade of stuff that is being offered him for sale, consequently he has to take what is offered and run the chance of eating embalmed foods.
 There used to be in popular vogue. before our time, and probab- Iy before the time of Phil Abrahams, a set of laws known as the Mosaic or old Jewish, in which 1t was forbidden to eat certain unclean things, but granted the right to sell such stuff to the strangers without the city gates, and even encouraged the practice. From a knowledge or some of the perishables that oc- casionaIy comes from below, we are inclined to think that some of our wholesale houses are working un- der those statutes.
 The United States supreme court would doubtless hold that a "rea- sonabIe" amount of rottenness might shipped to Alaska and sold, if 1t cid not restrain trade to any appre- cIable extent, therefore it would be well for our statesmen not to make a pure food law too severe
 We believe a law could be en- forced which would make the retailer lwben things got too rank) clean out his Augeau stables and serve our an article of food that the rats and flies had not previously staked claims on.
 It is true that there is a pure food law applying to Alaska, but g. needs a little supplementing' something spirited into it that will make 4, effective. A little formal dehyde or Treezum to keep it from deCaying and falling into inocuous desuetude.

sume there have already been a number Of slates fixed up for the voters to choose from It is a noted fact in history that when any great crisis arises, men will be found to bear the lurdens and carry the country safely through, and it is doubtless the case with Skagway.
 While 1t Is true that many of us think of our candidates are defeat the municipality will wither up like an autumn leaf and blow into fence corner, yet within two, or even one week, after election, not one of us will appear at the council meetings to find out whether the officers are on the jobs or not. We will continue to neglect the opposi- tiOn, if they be elected, the same as would our friends, should they succeed.
 It is very probable that no one is going after an office on the city council with the intention of getting suddenly rich out of the operation. They could not if they would. They can't even do anything very bad, because We have laws to prevent lt; and if a council attempts to go wrong, we are parties to the crime i we do not invoke the laws already made for our protection, and stop them.
 There is always a difference of opinion as to the policies to be pur- sued by tho city government. An honest difference of opinion does not necessarily make the other fel- low a criminal, because most of Qs have been wrong ourselves at least once in our lives, and it is possible that this Is another time.
 In our young and lOvesick days, many of us, had we been on the council, would desire to spend public money in building lovers lanes and hanging guitars on the trees. Later we desired race horses and automobile tracks. Now we want to get rich and never spend a cent for anything. Tomorrow we will want to improve the cemetery for our own occupancy. The really wise councilman will take into con- sideration all these things and be governed bg moderation.
 Skagway will live long and con tinue to be the eleanest and health fest city in Alaska, even if some of our enemies are elected. It ought to make us feel pretty small though, to refer to a fellow citizen, neigh bor as an enemy" SO we use that term in It's Pickwiekian, of political sense.
