RANCH
 NEAR HAYNES

Henry Morgan will try cattle
 raising on a large scale near Haines, says the Juneau Dispatch. He has staked a homestead in Burroughs creek valley 15 miles south. of HoInes and will stock it with sev- eral COWS and 15 calves. He reports that the valleys are especially adapted for .raisingg root crops, berries, hay and stock, The valley in which he located is 100 miles long.
 There are places in the valley l visited" he said, "whero you will find clear stretches of 10 to 100 acres covered with natural grass. The soil Is rich and ire. from stones. The slopes are heavily timbered, but have u wonderfully rich soil, the best for berry rats- ing l ever examined. One farmer l visited cleared $500 eff one acre and while l was north let a con- tract for clearing a lot of his slope land at $S5O an acre. When you get iu,o the timber on the slopes you can sink your arm to the el- bow in the Ioam without difficulty
 T figure that it will also he good hog raising country. I visit ed a hog ranch within three miles Of Haines. Its owner has 200 full grown hogs and 300 young hogs, all about the finest looking specimens of their tribe l ever saw.
 Besides taking cattle north l will go prepared to clear five acres for Iogauberries. One team of horses will suffice. On the low lands one good horse can pull any stump with out even block and tackle. l am the second locator in the Burrough creek valley, but a number of friend are planning to go up and we cy- pect to have quite a settlement. We are now allowed tc homestead %2o acres, but the government is talk ing of reducing the size of the homesteads 10 1GU acres.
 Prices are SD much higher in Alaska and the crop production to the acre is so much greater than in the states that We expect 10 do well from the start. I figure, however, that no one should 20 into the proposition unless he has @t least $1,OOO."

Caustin of Ketch!kan was el- ected chairman, Delegate James Wickersham was unanimously endorsed as a candidate at the coming territorial elec- tion to succeed himself, The Orpheum theater, where the convention was held, was crowded and everybody was wild with en- thusiasm for Wickersham when his selection was announced.
 Robet Gay was chosen as candi- date for territorial senator.
 For territorial representatives, the following were chosen, after Dr. F. NJ. Boyle, of Valdez one of the pres ent iucumbents had declined to have his name submitted for re-nomina- tion: Chas. Day, T. Tansey, s. Col well and R. Oldham,

GUN HAS
 35 MILE RANGE

Watervnet, N, Y, July 31-Re- pairs to the monster 16-nch gun, which will be the Colossus Of the Panama canal Qualifications, are nearing completion ia the local ar senal.
 Some months ago the canon, which is the biggest specimen of ordnance in the world, was turned out at the WaterYliet factory. Sub seQuent testa at the Sandy Hook proving station showed that It's proiectiles could pierce 12-inch armOr, set Il miles away from the firing point,
 The tremendous powers Of the gun, destined to guard the Pacific entrance to the canal, are not easily appreciated. The canon Itself is fifty feet In length and weighs l42 tons. It's prOjecIles, over s feet long tips the scales at 2,4OO pounds. More than a quarter of a ton of powder is needed to discharge this destructive bullet. Although cap able of carrying, at least, 35 miles, this iron-and-steel-bOned agent of death can be accurately bulls eyed" at 22 to 2S miles.

turned yesterday on the sonoma from
a seven weeks business trim. He was
in New York when he learned OF the
death Of Mrs. Alexander Young and
returned az once to Honolulu.
Business on the mainland Is rather
quiet, he said. The closing Of the
stock exchanges has had a deterrent
effect on all speculative lines. There
were fewer guests than usual at the
big hotels in New York and travel
was noticeably light on tn through
trains.
Trade Quiet
While the war has had SOLDERING
effect on business generally, some
lines Of trade have been exception
ally active. The belligerent nations
of Europe have made Tremendous
drafts on some classes of merchandise,
notably grain and -four, wooden goods
and blankets, horses and mules, and

While business Is slack all over the
