STARTING THE FLOWERS.
BY JOSEPHINE DE MARI.


If your sweet peas begin to deteri-
crate. watch closely to see that no
seeds mature; that the soil is stirred
and good mulch applied; that they
get good soaking at the roots once
or twice week during dry weather.
In shady corner of the garden pre-.
pare bed of light, rich, sandy soil,
and put frame about it. Cover it
with a glass frame heavily white
washed. Water and firm the soil and
then plant cuttings in it. Cuttings of
geraniums, roses, ETC., may vary from
an inch to eight, but in all cases re-
move two-thirds of the LEAKAGE and
bury tho cutting, allowing one or two
eyes above the soil.
II you want to grow geraniums, snip
out the tips of the branches and train
the plant to throw out shoots near the
ground. No shoot should be allowed
to grow longer than three inches. This
shipping process will insure lots Of
F. blooms later on.
Prepare good supply of liquid ma
nure to Offset the facilitating effect
of summer upon the flowers. Have a
spigot placed two or three inches
above the bottom of the barrel, fill
with straw well above this spigot,
and then foot or two of fresh manure.
Fill the barrel with water and in
few days the manure water will be
ready to draw off and apply.
Turn the potted plants that have
been plunged in the border to prevent
their roots striking through into the
soil. Cut off all the buds just as soon
as they appear. and give the plants
enough water so that they will not suf-
fer. Turn the Gala lily pot on its side
in a shady place and give it a good
rest.
While most people preach the desira-
bility of young plants for winter bloom
ing, you will find that the geraniums
and kindred plants will give more
bloom and be more satisfactory as
winter boomers in their second year
than in their first, if properly raised.
Cut the year.old plants back severely,
pinch out all the shoots before they
get three inches long; repot and shift
as necessary, but do net stimulate
with liquid manure.
A neighbor has a hedge of perennial
sweet peas screening the barnyard
from the house yard, and it is most
satisfactory. Although its flowers are
not as light and graceful as the an.
nual sweet pea, they have charm all
their own, and through heat and cold,
frost and drought. need little care or
coaxing to do their best
If you want to cover a fence or trel-
lis with a quick growth of vines, get
stems of the Virginia creeper, about
six to eight feet in length, make a
trench along the fence. and bury the
vines five or six inches deep. At ev-
cry joint will grow shoot Give q
good soil and top dressing of we'll
rotted manure in spring and fall. This
vine is hardy as the oak and almost
immune from the attack of insects and
pests.
The gladioh may be planted up to
July 20 and. II given good soil, water
and liquid manure. they will bloom
before frost. II you come across the
wild cucumber this month be sure to
carry home with you some Of it's seeds.
Plant them where you want them to
grow and then forget them. They will
appear next spring.

lection and the number of bleedings
that are obtained before rehyperimmu-
nization. Other conditions being equal,
the more virulent the virus, the more
potent will be the serum, Nothing but
the strongest virus possible should
ever be used Strains of virus that
will produce fever and fatal sickness
in seven to eight days are much pre-.
ferable to those that require an incu.
baton of eight to ten days. The usual
amount of virus injected at one time
when injected into the veins of the
immune, is six cubic centimeters for
each pound of body weight. If less
than this is used. the serum will be
apt to be low in potency. The first
and second bleedings are of stronger
potency than the third bleeding. In
practice, equal parts of first, second
and third should be mixed for the
proper production of serum. Not more
than six cubic centimeters of blood
at any one time should be bled from
the hyperimmune for each pound of
body weight. The method of bleeding,
whether from the tail until clipped too
short for further use and neck at the
final bleeding or from but one bleeding
at the neck as practiced by some serum
companies, will not produce any differ
ence in the potency or in the amount
of foreign bacteria, provided that
proper methods Of sterilization are en-
ployed.
No virus should be used that is bled
from hogs that show LESSONS Of other
diseases other than acute cholera.
Each virus hog should be carefully ex-
amined after bleeding. The amount of
bacteria, and especially the number of
pathcgenic bacteria, is due to the meth
DDS of sterilization used. Each hog
should be carefully cleaned and disin-
fected, the tail or neck shaved and
sterilized before bleeding. and all bot
ties or jars should be sterilized. All
of the preparation and bottling should
be done in clean quarters free from
any dust, and no vessels used that are
not sterile.
The potency test may be misleading
through the use Of pigs that are from
immune mothers. These pigs may re-
tain enough immunity that they will
remain we'll even though the serum is
low in potency. That is one of the
reasons why check pigs are used, to
show the natural immunity of the pigs.
The pigs should also be of the same
herd OF litter and treated alike.
Under the provisions Of the new hog
cholera control law in Indiana, Purdue
university is charged with the testing
of all hog cholera serums and so-called
cures that are sold in the state. All
of the different serums exposed for
sale in the state and great many Of
the cures have been tested. The great
er majority of the serums have been
found to be potent, but no cure has
been Of any use in either curing or
preventing hog cholera. All serums
tested by Purdue university are RECON-
mended to the state veterinarian, who
issues a state permit, under which
each serum is sold. At any time this
permit can be revoked through the
serum not being up to the standard.

GREEKS AWARDED
 ANCHORAGE CONTRACTS

Anchorage is in the throes of labor war, largely over the fact that the large, fat, juicy contracts are given to Greek concerns, who send outside for their help, and leave the rinds for the oldtimers who, therefore, look for a long hungry winter.
 The Chamber of Commerce held a meeting there this week at which the pros and cons of the question were discussed with much warmth and fervid, oratory, but after all was said and done, the report as adopted was considered too strong for publication. At the meeting it was stated that in nearly every case fat contracts were secured by Greeks, who used their countrymen to the exclusion of other nations, and that an American stood little chance of knocking the persim- mons. One case was quoted where settler bid 22 cents on the pipe line, which was turned down by the gov ernment agents, and the contract awarded to an outsider for 90 cents. The official claimed that the man could not do the work for 22 cents. The contractor securing the plum sublet it for 15 cents to Greeks, and they claim to be making money.
 Two prominent attorneys there in. jected so much arcrimonius errata into the convention, that it was be- lieved wise to table the report.
 The matter has been taken up with Senator Thomas McGann, of the sec ond division. Nome, who wrote prom inent citizen of Anchorage as follows:
 "I am much surprised to learn or the discrimination being made in fav- CT of foreigners in connection with government construction work at Ar. chorage. If the government estab- fishes less than Alaska standards in connection with railroad construction or any other line of work, great

ALASKA PLACER MINING
 AND FUTURE DISCUSSED

The activities in the mining dis trict in Alaska are described in detail in MT Brooks report, which contain also chapter on the future of placer mining in Alaska. Between 5000 and 5000 men are engaged in placer min- ing and prospecting for placers, and nearly third of the white population of the territory is directly or indirect ly supported by the placer mining in- dutry will hold it's own or will It in- therefore to them a most important one. Will it continue to decline, or are the known auriferous gravels suf- f1cient to justify the belief that the in- dustry will hold it's own or will in crease? It is believed that the future of the industry must depend, so far as now can be determined, on the exploi- tation of auriferous gravels of lower gold tenor than those which in the past have yielded most of the gold though there is, of course, always the hope of finding new bonanza deposits, such as have in the last decade yielded large returns.
 No one can deny that there are ex- tensive deposits of auriferous gravels in Alaska, but because of the lack of systematic prospecting of gravels car rying small amounts of gold it is diff ficult to reach any definite conclusions about the extent of deposits that can be profitably exploited when cheaper transportation and fuel have reduced the costs of mining. In view of the importance of the subject the survey has published in this report a sum- mary of the data relating to it. The general conclusion is drawn that with cheaper fuel and transportation there is no reason to believe that placer mining will continue to decline.

ILLEGAL LIQUOR SELLERS ARE ARRESTED
 

That the federal officials are deter. mined to stamp out the illegal prac- tices of peddling liquor without IT, censes is evidenced by the fact that raids have been made by the deputy marshals at Anchorage and Mccarthy, and it is reported that other sections of the district where bootleeging has been reported are to be investigated. :.
 In "a general raid at Anchorage on October 4, Deputy U. S. Marshal Jas. Wardell arrested ten men for run ming "blind pigs" at that place. The men will be taken to Seward for trial at the term of the district court to convene on November 1, and are:
 J. c. Provist, Peter Gilovich, F. P. McArthur, Anton Kovacevich, c. C.. Buh, George Geliff, Nicholas Man. die, Frank Ozich, Peter Mcclure and Ore Barnhard.
 Since then score or more arrests have been made at Anchorage on tne same charge, but the names of the keepers of the "blind pigs" are not known, although it is said they include three women who are more or ,ess prominent in business and social af- fairs at the terminal town.
 It is understood unofficially that at least 60 property owners, many of whom own lots in the heart of the business district, are liable to lose their property for this reason.
 People acquainted with waterfront men in Anchorage state that whole sale shipments otherwise marked have been common and that the man in charge of one of the docks lost his position because he not only allowed these shipments to be dealt in while on the dock, but handled liquor him. self.
 Loose conditions are the rule in construction camps, but 1t was under. stood in advance that the government would not tolerate liquor near this railroad project, especially on the re esrved land. Judge Brown, in his speech at Seward when the terminal had just been announced, declared that the old days of wide open gamb ling would not be repeated, but new corners at Anchorage paid little atten ton to either this warning or the re striction made by the land office.
 Thus far the only arrest in the Cop per River section was that of Gustavc Priesner, druggist of Mccarthy, by Deputy Marshal Milsap.

WHAT ALASKA STUDENTS
 ARE DOING AT UNIVERSITY

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Oct. 9-Wayne Sutton, who followed the stampede into the Shushanna dis trict in 1913, has returned to the Uni versity and has been made assistant football coach.
 Emil Hurja, of Fairbanks, wno Ilas written much in current magazines concerning Alaska, has been made editor-in-chief of the Daily for the first semester. The Daily is a four-page daily newspaper, edited entirely by students in the department of jurnal- ism. It is conducted in a manner identical with that of any metropoli- tan newspaper and gives practical ex- perience to those studying journalism
 Wallace Drummond, of Latouche and Valdez, also a Shushanna stampeder, is a likely candidate for the football squad.

OPENING IF GOAL MEANS MUCH TOCORDOvA
 t

At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce several Alaskans were en- tertained at luncheon, our townsman, Sam Blum, thus spoke optomistically of the future of this section:
 "Cordova will this year rank as one of the leading copper export ports of the world" he said. Copper to the value of $1,50O,000 a month is passing through Cordova in transit to the Ia coma and Eastern smelters. Cordo- vas future will be assured when we can use the immense deposits of coal lying tributary to this port for the smelting of the great bodies of ore in adjacent regions. Present conditions are resulting not only in great waste, but in holding back the development of our region. The opening of the coal fields will result in the building of large smelting industry at Cordo- va.
 "In the territory adjacent to Valdez are number of small rich mines that are now actice producers. These as- sure the future prosperity of Valdez. Like other sections of Alaska, We badly feel the great need of wagon roads, and every effort should be made to secure an adequate appropriation from congress for this most impor- tant work"
 Mir. Blum, in behalf of the Cordova Chamber of Commerce, and in appre. citation of the work of the Alaska bu- reau, rendered the bureau the exhibit prepared by the Cordova Chamber and now being displayed at the Panama. Pacific exposition.

PORTLAND AGAIN I ALKS LINE
 TO ALASKA

Portland again is seeking to inau- gurate a steamship line to Alaska. Twice the venture has failed, but this time, it is reported. Rose City busi- nessmen will make concerted effort to perpetuate the service.
 The Portland Telegram has this to say of the proposal:
 Backed by shippers and other lead ing business interests of the city, a new steamer line, it Is rumored, is about to be established between Port land and points in Southeastern Al aska. It is stated the ulans of the new company are for the inauguration of the service the latter part of the fall or early winter. Later the steam CTS may be sent as far north as Cor dova. Because of railroad building the business men in that section of Alaska are looking for an unusually
 
 The report has it that several ves- sells have been purchased, or the deals practically have been closed, to be placed on the run between here and Southeastern Alaska. One or two of them, it is intimated, will have passenger accommodations. Through out the year there Is more or less travel back and forth to that section, while Portland merchants are sending goods up there at frequent intervals under the present handicap of ship ping via Seattle. Even by this meth oh it is declared, they have been able to compete successfully, in a measure with Sound merchants.
 When given assurance which will satisfy them of the permanency of the line and of it's being able to provide regular schedule it is claimed that the Alaskans will give it most liberal support. In fact, it is through their efforts largely, it is held, that a de- cision to establish the line was reach ed, since some of the business men of the north long have been dissatisfied with the system which makes them de- pendent almost wholly upon Seattle to furnish them what supplies they need.

DEPUTY MARSHAL ID BE
 STATIONED AT YAKUTAT

Efforts by the governors office to secure the appointment of a deputy United States marshal at Yakutat, Alaska, have at last been successful. The attorney general has authorized United States Marshal Bishop to make the appointment, which will be done very shortly.
 It is hoped that upon the return of Judge Robert Jennings, now holding special term of court at Ketchikan, that commissioner will be appoint ed at the same place. Reports of un- lawful making of "hootch" and distur- bances among the natives in the vicin- ity of Yakutat have made necessary the creation of the office of deputy marshal at that place.

mistake will be made. Such a policy will be reflected throughout the Terri tory and will have an evil effect on the welfare of the workingman who must be considered the main factor in this country, not excepting those hench- men connected with government rail- roads.
 "A Panama standard of living can not be maintained in Alaska, and if the road cannot be built by American workmen and an Alaskan wage sched- ule, it will prove disaster rather than benefit to the Territory. Hope the people of your division will vigorously protest against cheap men and cheap methods"
 Another meeting of the Chamber IS shortly to be held, when the matter will again be brought up. The gov ernment is coming in for much cen sure there for employing foreigners to the exclusion of American workmen.

Coal Claims Rejected.

Notice has been received at the Juneau land office of the rejection of the claim of the Alaska Peninsula Mining & Trading Co. of four coal claims in the Unga district. The re- jection is based upon the failure of the claimant to open up a coal mine as required by law.
