WHERE TRAIL
 WORK IS NEEDED
Alaska Road Commission Willing to Spend $500 Toward Helping
 Build Road to Shushanna.

Billy James, the original discoverer of Shushanna, and whose rich claims on Bonanza creek yielded him quite a bunch of money, is anxious to see a good trail built from Mccarthy to the new camp, in order that freight may be transported during the winter over an American route to the camp.
 While m Valdez recently he con- suited with Major Richardson, presi- dent of the Alaska Road commission, and learned that the commission was willing to spend $500 towards de- fraying the expense of building the trail, that being the amount that can be diverted for that purpose as the -.v..- commission's fund is limited.
 MT. James believes that unless something is done the miners and prospectors in the camp will have to wait until next spring and get their supplies in by water over the Cana dian route. The merchants Of Cor dova and Mccarthy are interested .n keeping the trade of the camp and are trying to devise some way of raising funds to have the trail put in shape for the winter. The merchants of Cordova have already spent $6,0O0 on the project

NATIVES ARE GRATEFUL
 FOR RECENT DONATIONS

Col. w. c. Whorf, of Seldovia, re- ports that the natives of English Bay, who were reported to be in starving condition earlier in the season. are grateful to the whites who sent them donations of food and clothing. He says there are about 1000 natives in the district, and as they depend al- most entirely on securing work in the canneries, they are in bad shape as they were unable to secure em- ployment during the past summer owing to the failure of the salmon to run for the usual time.

SEATTLE, Oct. 19.-Alaska mer- chants, and wholesale houses supply ing the north, are experiencing much difficulty in securing freight reserva- tions on north bound vessels owing to the loss of the Admiral Watson, the Mariposa, and the big fre;ghter Edith, having caused a shortage of vessels in the Alaskan trade.

HOW. TO HANDLE FRUIT
Care Must Be Exercised in Pick
ing and Packing Apples.
Apples Are Very Easily Bruised,
Thereby Presenting Unattractive
Appearance-AIways Watch
Markets i'm Selling.

Few people realize the importance of
handling apples with care while pick
ing. packing and marketing. Apples
are bruised very easily and especially
those varieties having a tender flesh
or skin. Bruises mean not only an un-
attractive appearance. but a real waste
OF fruit by having to cut out the
bruised tissue. Probably the greatest
damage from bruises. however, results
from the fact that the bruises furnish
an entrance for fungus or rot spores.
These spores, or fungus seeds" are
as fine as dust and float in the air. II
they happen to lodge on a bruised or
broken spot on the apple, they take
root and grow and spread through
the apple, causing it to rot. Wrapping
or covering the apple may not always
protect it, as the spores may have
lodged on the apple before it was
picked. However, If the skin and flesh
OF the apple can be kept intact and
not bruised or broken. there is not
much danger of the fungus or rot find
Ing its way into the apple.
To prevent bruising, apples should
not be dropped or thrown into a
bucket. box or barrel, and in pouring
from one vessel to another care should
be taken that the apples are as close
as possible to the bottom of the vessel
in which you are placing them before
the pouring begins If a pail is used
to pick in. it should be small enough
to lower into the boxes and. even then,
holding back the apples with the
hands is a good idea, as it breaks the
fall and lessons the bruising No apple
which falls from the tree should be
allowed to go into the first grade ap-
pies
First-class fruit in first-class shape
will probably develop an inquiry for
more of the same kind.
There is almost as much in the
selling of apples as in the growing

prices are most favorable

ing up a good orchard and then allow
the buyers to come in and take them

OF course it pays well to raise fancy
apples if all the details of packing

must be remembered that the bulk of
the fruit consumed is of the standard
variety.
When apples are shipped from the
orchard in bulk the packer makes a

in clean boxes or barrels-a thing the
grower should do himself.
