Mise farmers and poultry fanciers
are not in thel Of neglecting their
fowls at any time, but they give them
extra attention in early spring, not
merely TO keep them healthy, but to
secure hardy stock and good layers.
Chickens are MS sensitive as human
beings, and their diseases are much
the same. The most common ailments
in the poultry yard are colds in their
various stages. These have variety
of names. but they result from neglect
at a time OF year when special care
is needed. Roup, bronchitis, pneumonia
and rheumatism are prevalent among
fowls at times. and while majority
of the sick birds may recover such
illness is sure to affect the general
vitality of the flock. There are many
things to be considered along this line

Refugees From Strike Zone
Haze Easy Time at Duncan

DUNCAN, Ariz., Nov. 3.-Nearlv
4Oe strikers from Clifton, Morenci
and Metcalf are living at the Dun
can refugee camp, where the Shan
non, Detroit and Arizona Copper
companies are feeding, clothinc and
housing, absolutely free of charge,
al their former employees who care
to join the colony.
These companies have adopted
new and unique plan in meeting
their Industrial troubles. They ap-
pear to regard their workmen as
wards to be taken care of in times
of stress. Hence the Duncan camp.
: ALL ARE WELCOME ~
Any former employe who desires
to join the colony is made. welcome.
NO questions are asked. 1t makes
no difference If man has been
strike leader and a rabid Western
Federation man; he is told to make
himself right at home. u; ',
Every train from the north brings
it's quota of refugees from Clifton,
Morenci and Metcalf, while scores
have walked from the strike zone to

closely watched by the strikers, who
have given orders that federation
members must remain in the district
till the strike is settled, but a great
many are eluding the vigilance Of
the pickets. Many have got away
from Morenci by pretending to go
over the hills for wood.
When single man arrives he is
assigned to bunk and q place in
the mess hall. He is also given
credit slip good at the Duncan
stores for clothing, tobacco or any
thing else that he may reasonably
desire. A married man is given a
furnished tent for himself and fam
lily and supplied with a credit slip
good for food as we'll as for cloth
ing and tobacco.

ATTRACTIONS OF CAMP

One Of the attractions of the camp
is a Mexican orchestra which rem
ders frequent concerts and plays for
fmpromptu dances. Every day hunt
ing parties go out and come back
laden with quail and rabbits. Now
and then deer is brought in.
Until few days ago reports were
persistent that strikers were coming
down from Clifton to destroy the
colony. Many of the strikers be-
lieyed that it was really a concen-
tration camp for strike breakers and
that when the time came an attempt
would be made to take possession of
the mines and works. A committee
Of Duncan business men went up to
Clifton to explain that this was not
the case, that the refugees would be
the last persons in the world to
Start trouble. AS a result the mu.
tual feeling Of distrust existing be-
tween Duncan and the strike zone
has largely passed away. a
The refugee colony Is. without a
definite name. Frank Mclean, "may-
or of the colony, has offered $40 to
.the person suggesting the most
suitable name: He asks that sug-
gestions be! mailed to him at Dun
can.

BELLA BELLA, Oct. 12. 2.- The natives are having great feast on Thanksgiving turkeys consigned to Juneau and Skagway mostly on the wrecked Mariposa.
 When the ship began pounding on the swell the turkeys were released and flew ashore.
 The natives turned out in force and hunted the birds as rapidly as they landed and proceeded at once to have great feast.
 It is believed that the Canadian wrecking vessel will be able to save good portion of the Mariposa's cargo.
