The canned pack of salmon on the
Columbia river will be the largest in
20 years, is the opinion expressed
by State Senator Robert S. Farrell
of Oregon, head of a packing con-
Germ. The heavy run of fish this sea-
son is due, Mr. Farrell believes, to
salmon propagation and the placing
of millions of fry in the Columbia
four years ago. The record pack in
recent years was 100000 cans in
1911.

Concerning Eggs.

The following is of great Importance
ito the retail grocer as we'll as to the
farmer The retail grocers will do well
ito present the facts as given here be-
how to every one of their customers
who are in the poultry business.
Fertile eggs cost the farmer $15,000,-
600 year.
Farmers lose 100000 annually
from bad methods of producing and
handling eggs. One-third of this loss
as preventable, because it is due to
the partial Matching of fertile eggs
which has been allowed to become
warm enough to begin to incubate.
The rooster makes the egg fertile.
The fertile egg makes the blood
Hing.
You can save $15,OOO,OOO now lost
Sfrom blood rings by keeping the male
tbird from your flock after the hatch
ing season is over.
The rooster does not help the hens
ito lay. He merely fertilizes the germ
of the egg. The fertile germ in hot
weather quickly becomes a blood ring
which spoils the egg for food and mar
lket. Summer heat has the same enect
1on fertile eggs as the hen or lncu'
lbator
Infertile eggs will not become blood
rings.
After the Matching season, cook, sell
sor pen your rooster. Your hens not
running with male bird will produce
infertile eggs-quality eggs that KEEP
best and market best.
Rules for handling eggs on the farm
Heat is the great enemy of eggs
both fertile and infertile. Farmers are

LAST GRAND ARMY
ENCAMPMENT
TO BE HELD AT WASHINGTON,
D. c., ON 5oTH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE GRAND REVIEW.
WILL BE A NATIONAL EVENT
Took Part in the Great Review at
Close of the Civil War Will Be
Again in Line.

Washington, D. c., July 28.-Fifty
years ago the victorious Union armies,
fresh from the battlefields of the civil
war and the surrender at Appomatox,
marched down Pennsylvania avenue in
Washington.
1t was a grand review of the war
SCARED legions Of Grant and Sherman,
of Meade and Sheridan, and the other
famous commanders whose boys in
blue" had preserved the Union. Presi-
dent Johnson and General Grant were
in the reviewing stand as the veterans
swung proudly past to the exulting
music of their bands, while the battle
flags that had flown on a hundred
bloody fields waved over the triumph
ant host.
This thrilling pageant, of national
interest, will be reproduced as far as
possible during the forty-ninth annual
encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic, which will be held in Wash
ington, September 27-October 3, next,
according to the announcement made
here today
1t will be the fiftieth anniversary of
the Grand Review Thousands of the
same veterans who marched in that
review a half century ago uniformed in
the Union blue, will again keep step
to martial music down Pennsylvania
avenue, and pass in parade before
President Wilson and members of his
cabinet 1t will be the last time the
veterans will march in Washington
and the last time that hundreds OF
them will ever again attend an en-
campment, as the aged men are fast
passing away.
The Grand Army, which survived
four years of campaigns and never sur
rendered, will soon have to lower its
standards, defeated by Time, the only
= enemy able to vanquish the veterans
Because of the increasing death rate
} and the feebleness of the survivors o.
) the great war it is probable that the
t. Grand Army will never again hold {
? great encampment after the Washing

last in which many of them will par

Halt Won Mackensen.

The other point, which Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen is directing at the
Chelm-Lubin railway, has hardly
gained a yard of ground since it
reached the village of Relovetz, just
south of the railway.
In offering stubborn resistance to
the German advance, the Russians are
making a continual threat at Won
Mackensens flank along the Bug river
from the east of Chelm to east of
Lemberg. Between Krylow and Sokal
their attacks have been particularly
severe, compelling the Germans to
send reenforcements, probably intend.
ed to support Won Mackensen, to meet
them.
Along the Vistula to the south and
west of Warsaw there has been little
change, except for the occupation by
the Germans of some positions evacu
ated by the Russians when they drew
in their line.

Stiff Work Ahead.

While Warsaw is under heavy pres
sure the Austro-Germans have a lot
of stiff work before them if they are
to bring their operations to a success
full ending by it's capture. After cross
ing the Narew they still have the
broader Bug, lined with fortresses, to
face, while in the south the Russians
have good positions north of the Lub-
lin-Chelm railway, which might prove
the undoing of the army which at
tackled them.
Many are of the opinion that the
most dangerous attacks at the moment
are those which are being made in the
provinces of Courland, Kovno and
Grodo, at the lines of communication
between Warsaw and the northern in
terror of Russia. Those attacks are
being delivered for the most part by
cavalry and will doubtless be met il
due time by the concentration of Cos
sacks in these regions.

French Report Success.


The French report another success
in the Vosges at Ban-de-Sapt, where
they claim to have taken more than
800 unwounded prisoners. The Ger
mans admit the loss of a portion of
their trenches there.
There is no diminution in the Italian
offensive along the Isonzo river, which,
the Italian say, is proceeding favor
ably for them, but which the Austrians
declare is meeting with no success.
Germans Failed.
London, July 26.-Field Marshal Won
Mackensen's sustained effort to throw
any considerable body of Austro-Ger-
man troops astride the Lublin-Chelm
railway having to date met with no
success, the Germans are now center
ing their main offensive north of the
Warsaw salient, and, having crossed
the Narew river along a 40-mile front
are driving the Russians toward the
Bug, where it joins the Narew north
of the Polish capital.
Warsaw still holds out, but the gen
eral belief is held here that its loss
by the Russians is only a matter oil
time.

MEXICAN MINERS
 SEND REPRESENTATIVES
They Come to Tell Gov. Hunt of Sit
 uation at Ray.

Jose Miranda and C. l.. Salcido, representatives of the Workingmen' Committee at Ray arrived in the city yesterday with credentials to Gov. Hunt for the purpose of laying be- fore him the side of the Mexican miners employed at the Ray Consol- idated They said that it was next to impossible to communicate with the outside world either by telegraph or telephone and that it had become necessary for them to see the gov ernor in person.
 In a general way they corroborat- ed the stories printed in The Repub- lican of the situation at Ray. There had been no trouble there, no out break and no threatened outbreak of any sort and there was no prospect of any About 75O Mexican miners are out and probably sixty mostly Americans engaged as timberman, at work.
 Miranda said that the dispute be- gan last Sunday over a question of wages The scale at present is $225 day for muckers and B for ma chine The Mexicans demanded the same wages as are paid at Miami $375 day for muckers and $415| for machine men. An organization was formed called the Workingmen's Committee, without any relation with the Western Federation of Miners or the Liza, the Mexican protective as- sociation. It is a purely local body.
 A petition was drawn up and was presented at the office of the gen eral manager Miranda said, but the committee was unable to see MT Cate or anyone else in authority so that there have been no negotiations regarding the matters in dispute.
 One of the men who presented the petition was arrested while making a report and was locked up on the charge of creating a disturbance but he was released after q hearing on Monday Miranda said that at one time there were about eighty armed guards at Ray and that some of them were patrolling SonoratOwn with the object of preventing any communication between the two towns But Miranda said that he found an opportunity to visit Ray and explain the position of the Mex jeans to the Americans.
 He said that d telegram was sent to Governor Hunt on Sunday and that no reply had been received but yes erday he found that the governor had answered the telegram and a copy of it was furnished the repre- sentatives In the telegram the gov ernor said that their communication should have early attention and that an investigation should be made at once of the complaint of the Work ingmen's committed

ThOs. Ranahan, Former Gov elnment Scout, Makes a
 Visit to Valley for First Time in Half Century
 Saw One White Man Then

One man who visited Phoenix yes terday. had been here before but that occasion was a half century ago, and not nearly so memorable or of such interest as the visit yesterday.
 Thomas Ranahan, now of Boise, Idaho, was the interesting visitor The first time he was in the Salt River Valley. was many many years ago. Then there were no towns, no irriga- uon works, and as far as Mir. Ranahan could ascertain at that time there was only one white man.
 The history of his life. which Is the history of the west and south west. reads like a story of a vanished age. Tn ls60 year before the Civil war opened, Mir. Ranahan was a young Tan with the call of the west in his blood. He crossed the plains. that year and has never been back since
 Shortly after coming west. he en- tered the government service as an army scout. He continued in that branch of the service. and took part in the subdoinS of most of the bellig- erent Indian tribes in the west.
 While employed by the government. he was sent to Fort san Houston. and there detailed to accompany an ex- petition of seven army officers from Washinston. D. C., on an inspection tour of the army posts then located all over the southwest.
 The little column left Houston. with several Indians. two wagons. two am balances. and F saddle horses. Mir Ranahans recollection of the trip is remarkably clear. and he remembers the country over which they travelled as If t had been but few years ago.
 From Fort Houston. they made the journey to Fort Bowie in what is now Cocnise county. It was in mid summer the men were so affected with the heat. that most of the travelling was done at night
 Fort Grant was the next point the party were headed for. Reaching there they started for Fort Lowell. near Tucson.
 Tucson was then thriving village. MT. Ranahan said that as far as he could see, the town looks now about as it did then. except that the build ings are practically all changed. It was the provisioning point for the copper camps. and great long mule teams were to be seen vending their way in and out all the time
 Headed for Prescott. they passed first time they struck the Salt River. they came across the first and only white man they saw in the entire time

they were travelling through the val ley.
 MT. Ranahan could not remember the given name of this hardy pioneer, but his memory is very clear on the sur name it being Hayden, a name strong iy connected with the early develop ment of the valley. MT. Hayden, he said, was in his estimation, one of the shrewdest and smartest men he ever met When they first came across Hayden, he was busy with a gang of Mexicans digging the foundations for flour mill. The expedition laughed at him for his seeming foolishness in attempting to make a flour mill thrive in this barren waste But with the hardy endurance and the far sighted ness of the early pioneers, MT. Hay den ignored their jibes. and kept on working The trip from Florence, to the Salt was made by the party in one night. This was considered fast travelling.
 The party went north from here and on up through Colorado and New Mex leo. where Mir. Ranahan left them at Fort Lyon.
 He was very much interested in the development of Phoenix and the val ley, and made the trip down here especially to see the country.
 He stated yesterday that if the time ever came when he wanted q change of scenery. he was surely coming to this city to live. Next to Boise. Phoe- nix he said, was the best lighted, and the finest resident city in the west.
 He left last night for the coast, where he will take in the expositions 1e does not show in any manner his narrowing trials of the early days. and with a shrug of his massive shoulders he said he was ready to take the trail again on moments notice. and go over the old route without a mur- mur.
 After leaving the expedition, MT Ranahan continued in the government service and took part in many Indian battles, the most important Of which was that of Beechers Island, when the U. S troops were lined up against coalition of Sioux. Cheyennes. Arap- hoes and Dog Soldiers At that battle the famous Roman Nose, an outlaw Cheyenne, was in command of the In dians.
