RUBY GETS NO
 TELEGRAPH LINE

RUBY. July 2l.-M. J. Flood, chair man of a committee which circulated and forwarded a petition for the re- moval of the Washington-Alaska mili- lary telegraph station from Melozi to Ruby. has received notification that the petition was not iavorably con- cred: The communication to Mir. Flood Is from Capt. B. O. Lenior. off cer In charge. Seattle. and in it the following points are presented.
 !. The line is for military purpos- es and when not SO engaged the hand. ling ot commercial messages is per. mittcd. The policy has been to per init citizens to connect with the lines wherever they desire. Tho trunk line passed on the north side of Che Yu. kon river in the vicinity of Ruby and It's stations along there are maintain ed principally for the purpose of keep ing the line in repair.
 @ TO abandon the Melozi station in favor of Ruby would mean that two wires must be extended across the riv. CT. that the men stationed in Ruby would find it very difficult to cross the river for the purpose of making re pairs. in addition to the delay which would ensue in reaching the trunk line and locating and removing faults on 1t.
 8. The government would be com peting with the line already establish. ed by private enterprises. contrary to precedent on the part Of the signal corps.
 q. It is acknowledged that the cost over the private line to Melozi is rath CT high. but in all such cases the rem edy lies with the people themselves IT they are not satisfied with the present arrangements it appears a very easy matter for them to built a tele graph line or telephone competitive line to Ruby from Melozi. and the matter of high rates will settle itself -(Ruby Record-Citizen.)

 VALDEZ, July 24.-Returning from a stampede to the 50-AIile post on the Valdez trail. Charles Slater and Fred Robinson Arrived in town shortly be- fore n o'clocl last night They re- port that they found conditions at the 5O.mle post just as stated by the first stampeders. who returned to Fairbanks Friday night Good prospects were found. although the ground appears to be low grade. Each member of the party staked some ground. Like the men who returned the previous night, they agree that the best that can be hoped for from the ground is that 1t will prove rich enough for Q dredge or large hydraulic plant.
 From their account of the reported strike, it appears that Jack Taylor, the fox farm man. was doing some prospecting and found fairly good prospects. A teamster working out on the tran sent word to a friend in town. and he started the small stam- pede-(F Fairbanks Times)

Poland is declared to be honey combed with German spies. Large es- tates are owned by pro-Germans, who keep the Germans informed, and many of these estates were discovered to be German supply stations on their march to Warsaw. One such, midway betweon Warsaw and the frontier, was famed in antebellum days for the lavish and apparently pointless ex- penditure in transforming barren wilderness into a huge fairy land of flower gardens. Great concrete con duits had been built, pools, terraces' broad concrete walks, On the near approach of the Germans it was dis covered that there was method in the German madness The reservoirs were granarles, the conduits store houses. the walks, flower beds and the fountains all part of a marvellous sys- tenn. of trenches. It took the Russians days to drive the Germans out once they were intrenched there.

Old and New Siaqe.

Farmer O. W. Fighter Of Indiana re-
ports that he placed well matured corn
in a concrete silo fourteen years ago
and emptied the bottom of the silo last
July, says the American Cultivator.
Mr.. Fighter says that the only differ
ence that he was able to detect be-
tween the fourteen and the one-year-
old silage was that the former was
slightly more acid than the latter, but
that the cattle ate the old and new 81
lage alike. A very important fact in
connection with the silage keeping SO
well is that the corn. was ripe when
it was placed in the silo. Incidentally
the silo was a homemade one, the base
Of which was five feet below the sur
face Of the ground line. Such a con-
struction with mature corn well pack
ed would almost always preserve good
silage for several years.

PROPER FOODS FOR HENS.

layers Must Have Right Materials For
Production Of Eggs.
Prepared by the United States depart
ment Of agricultural
In order to obtain eggs it Is neces-
sary to have healthy. vigorous stock
and to supply proper food materials.
These are heterogeneous material or pro-
TEN, non-nitrogenous matter, succu-
tents, mineral matter and water. Ma
ture provides the first in the form Of
worms and bugs and when these are
absent or present in insufficient guam
tity, the poultryman supplies the same
sort Of food by giving eggs, meat
green cut bone or beef scrap, milk or
cottage cheese. For the non-nitroge-
nous material nature furnishes seeds
and the farmer gives wheat, cats, corn
barley, etc. For succulents the fowls
in a natural state find them in grass
and other green growing things. The
poultryman puts before his charges let
tuce, cabbage, kale, mangels, alfalfa,
clover, sprouted oats. etc. In their nat
ural state fowls find grit for themselves
and the cultivated varieties get grit
and oyster shells. Water, Of course,
must be pure.
A splendid mixture for laying hens
is equal parts of cracked corn, wheat
and oats. which should be scattered in
the litter.
Bran or middlings and beef scraps
should be kept in receptacles to which
the fowls have access at all times.
Plenty Of exercise increases the egg
yield.
Provide four or five inches Of good,
clean litter in which to scatter the
grain.
When wet mashes are fed be sure
they are crumbly and not sticky.
For the first three days chicks may
be fed a mixture Of equal parts hard
boiled eggs and stale bread, or stale
bread soaked in milk. When bread
and milk are used care should be ex-
ercised to squeeze all milk out Of the
bread. From the third or fourth day
until the chicks can eat wheat and
cracked corn, commercial chick feed
is a good ration.
Plenty Of pure, fresh water, grit,
shell and green feed should be avail
able from the first day.
There is very little danger of over
feeding young stock.
Feed the chickens about five times
daily and only what they will eat up
clean in a few minutes, exceptat night,
when they should receive all they want.

Queer Old Laws of England That Have
Never Been Revoked.

Queer Old Laws of England That Have
Never Been Revoked.
Although the stocks. like the pillory
and the ducking stool. have been done
away with. a lot of punishments sur
vive in England which are every bit az
medieval.
The most ludicrous of these exist In
the two services-the army and navy
which were renowned in the past for
the %cruelties practiced in them in the
name Of justice. "Keelhauling'' as car
ried out in the navy used, of course. to
amount to execution by drowning.
while in the army running the CANT
Lett was a popular way Of Furnishing
troublesome soldiers.
Here is another queer punishment
which never has been removed from
the statute book. If you are motoring
OR driving in England beware lest you
run over anybody, for If you do 80 and
cause his death your motorcar or car
riage a be ~cOntiscated. Even a fall
ing tree that caused the death of a hu-
man being can be taken from its owner.
The strangest punishment which still
survives under modern law in England
is that Of "outlawry." Only a few
years ago-in 1906 to be exact-a law
yer charged with forging a check was
''outlawed' in the Glasgow high court.
By this sentence the person of the ac-
cused is declared forfeit. he cannot
bear testimony in a court o sue nor
defend an action. He cannot act on a
jury % vote at an election nor act as
tutor or guardian to another person.
If any one robs him he has no redress.
If any one kills him it seems rather
doubtful if that person can be hanged.
