GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, Dec. s.
The greatest movement In recent
years for the advancement OF rae

part OF the state was the formal
organization OF the West Michigan

shown to a marked degree by the
convention which comprised more

breeders, trainers and track man.

roll of Is race tracks. Many mem
bers will give two or more meetings
and racing Is assured from early in
June until Il is too cold TO stay out
OF doors.
What this means to horsemen and
their patrons can scarcely be exag-
gerated. The tracks and fair
grounds, by avoiding conflict Of
dates, will in many cases be able
to supplant a deficit with balance

JUDGE BUNNELL NUT SEEKING
 BE DELEGATE

Judge Charles E. Bunneli arrived in Cordova Sunday afternoon from Fair. banks, and reports most delightful
 trip over the trail. The judge took passage on the Alameda for Valdez
 and from tLere will go back to
 Pennsylvania to visit his parents,
 whom he has not seen for seven years.
 When asked as to the report that l he intended to be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Delegate to Congress, Judge Bunnell said that he had not given the matter much thought, but did not think that he should enter into political campaign while occupying the bench. He ad- ded, however, that his friends in the interior seemed anxious for him to enter the race.
 Since taking office last spr:ng, Judge Bunnell has worked hard, clearing up the large civil and crim- inal calendar that had accumulated during the time that there was no judge in the division. Of the total 215 days, not counting Sundays and holidays, court has been in session 182 days, while the rest of the time was spent in travelling, Fairbanks to Iditarod and Ruby and back again. During the long session of court Judge Bunnen has had no less than PIT cases before him for consider ation. in which it was necessary for him to take some action. In addi- tio nto this, he has heard many ap- plications for naturalization; has been dispersing agent of the indigent fund for the division, and has had many other duties to attend to in his chambers, which never appear Of record, but which required great deal of time, thought and work.

|CE LOCKED FUR
 WINTER

Navigation is closed for the winter in Cook Inlet, and many thrilling taies are being told of the ice blockade at Anchorage. and the narrow escape the launches, stern-wheelers and barges had, before they could be lowed to a place of safety. The Ad- miral Farragut took the barge Sperm, three lighters, one stern-wheeIer, two gas boats and a big skiff in tow, making a string nearly a mile long, to Seldovia, where they will remain until the opening of navigation next spring.
 As a result of navigation closing at Anchorage most of the freight for that place was taken back to Seward for winter storage. The Farragut discharged $50 tons there; the Kan sas City 1.5OO tons for the Engineer ing Commission, and 100 tons for merchants at Anchorage. The Kan sas City, Seward and Alliance were also compelled to store their freight for Anchorage at Seward.
 Many parties who came aboard of the Admiral Farragut at Anchorage to greet friends and tend to business matters were unable to get ashore, and were brought to Seward. Among these are. Harry c. Locke, harbor master; George G Vause. wharf finger; William Jones, assistant su- perintendent of construction, and about fifty foremen, Iongshoremen, etc. They will probably all return to Anchorage overland. walking most of the way, if not all the way, owing to the scarcity of dog teams at Seward.
 In discussing the conditions at Anchorage the Seward Gateway says;
 "It is estimated that the cargoes which have returned after an effort to land them at Anchorage and the cargo yet to come aggregate close to five thousand tons. It is stated that the supply of staples in the new railroad town will be nearly suffi- cient for the winter, and a shortage will only be felt in some articles. A vast amount of potatoes had to be returned, but this is regarded as a blessing to the home growers, who have thus been provided a market. The whole affair is to be regretted, as it is a sad blow to the new rail- road town, showing as 1t does that it can never be terminal in fact of the railroad for any import ant length of time each year Owing to the unusually mild winter of last shippers had acquired a false feeling of security, and no one isI really to be blamed, notwithstanding the fact that oldtimers had poined out what might be expected"

against butter Dealers
City Sealer of Weights and Measures
Reel Warns Farmers to Acquaint
Themselves With Laws Concerning
Goods in Packages

Dealers and farmers who attend the
city markets would do well to acquaint
themselves with the laws governing the
sale of commodities in package form,
since City Sealer of Weights and Meas.
ures Reel is collecting evidence which
will be used against those who do not
comply with the requirements of the
law. This applies especially to those
who sell butter in pound prints anu
lard in pound packages.
The consumer should refuse to ac.
cept package of any commodity unless
it is plainly marked on the outside with
the net weight of the contents. The
dealer, whether he be from this city or
from the country, must see that his
goods are marked to comply with the
law, as follows:
eff in package form, the quantity
of the contents shall be plainly and
conspicuously marked on the outside of
the package in terms of weight, meas
ure or numerical count.
1.-The penalty for the first offense is
not more than $25, for the second Of.
fense not less than $25 nor more than
$100 and for the third and each sub
sequent offense not less than 500 nor
more than $3.50"
The words "if in package form"
mean that if commodity of any kind is
placed in a box, basket or container
and sold by the box, basket or con-
tainer it becomes package and must
have the quantity of the contents
marked as provided by the law of
1913.
