INTERNATIONAL EGG
LAYING CONTEST.

The twelfth week of the laying con-
test at Storrs was similar in many
respects to the eleventh week but for
the most part much better. The to-
tai yield amounted to 2,140 eggs
which is BOT in excess of the proceed
ing week and relatively 1.229 eggs
better than for the corresponding
week last year. For the second con-
secutive week two daily egg records,
were set. On Monday the hens laid
BOG eggs which was the best for any
single day up until that time. This
record, however, only lasted until
Thursday when the figure was set
at $50 eggs for a single days yield.
The best single pen production for
the week was made by Merrythought
FARMS Columbian Wyandottes from
Columbia, Conn, with 48 eggs. These

COMMUNICATED

skagway, Alaska, June 23, '15. Editor Daily Alaskan:
 ! beg to call your attention to an error in the local item which appeared in your columns yester- day in reference to the chloroform- inc of "Denuis," the old huskie dog, and to the fact that he was not chloroformed, but murdered.
 Two Skagway citizens lured the old deg to the bank of the river and shot at him fourteen times, badly wounding, but not killing him. After tie shooting the dog ran hack to his old haunt at the Board O. Trade saloon, but not finding me there, continued on down to the wharf, where the men afterward finished Tim with a shotgun.
 There is no punishment too great for the perpetrators of the above mentioned crime, for Dennis was certainly entitled to a more hon. orable death than was accorded him he being one of the vanguard of the Skagway pioneer days of 1898.
 Very respectfully,
 TUCK FLAHERTY.

BELIEVE PLATINUM BEEN
 DISCOVERED IN DAWSON

Tn excitement which occurred sey eral days ago over the report that platinum had been found on the hillside near Dawson was given an otber impetus when Dr. Wells made an assay of rock found under Bill Paddock's greenhouse at West Daw- son, and declared the material sim liar to that found on this side of the river. The doctor has made several tests of the rock in question from both localities, and shows bright buttons about the size of a vest button, and hard. He says that t. all appearances they are platinum, but he will not say posi- lively that he is correct. He de- sires to have the assays confirmed outside if possible, and is sending samnlcs to various assay offices in different cities. Some of the local as savers say they failed to find plat mum !u rock from the hillside. Ap- phcations had been filed with the quartz recorder this afternoon for eight claims, which were staked back cf Dawson in the stampede of several days ago. No applications have ceen filed for ground at West H. assay plant running day and night for a week or more making tests of the supposed platinum bearing rock Dawson News.

 JOINS DRY FORCES

Chicago June 21-The Chicago dry movement got a big boost re- gently when no less a parsonage than the redoubtable Barney Gro gan, eX-alderman, ex-saloon keeper and erstwhile political overlord of the 18th ward, predicted success for it. Grogan charged with selling liquor without a license, announced he had sold his saloon.
 "Chicagoaus," said .Grogan, "are losing their thirsts and I sold out. By 1916 there won't be a thirsty man in Chicago. The town Is bound to go as dry as Sahara"

Side Lights From
the EuropeanWar

Toxic, July 23.-What Japanese re-
gard as a significant step in the pro-
motion Of a better understanding
with tn" United States was inaugur-
ated by the departure today of an
accredited Japanese labor delegate
to the forthcoming International La.
Dor congress at Los Angeles. This
action is the fruit of proposals made
by DR.. Sidney L.. Gulick, the Ameri-
can missionary and author, and Dean
Schailer Mathews Of the University
Of Chicago, during their recent tour
Of Japan.
The pioneer Japanese delegate who
left today is Bunji Suzuki, founder
and president of "The Laborers'
Friendly Society," which, in less than
three years time, he has built up to
such strength that it has a member
ship of over 1000, with "a branch
organizations throughout the empire.
The object is to promote the techni-
cal, social, moral, and intellectual
welfare O the Japanese working peo-
pie, and to bring about a better un-
derstanding between labor and CAPT
tai. The society keeps aloof from
politics, and it is said to be looked
upon with favor by employers. 1t
supports a 64-page monthly magazine,
maintains a free legal bureau and
holds regular meeting, addressed by
capable leaders on labor and econom-
ic topics.
President Suzuki, although only SO
years old, has won fame in Japan
by settling six formidable strikes
within the year, two of them involv-
ing several thousand men. The
strikes chiefly threatened the cotton,
wooden and electrical industries. Mr..
Suzuki is a graduate Of the law de-
partment of the Imperial university,
and in addition to his labor service,
ne is secretary of the American Uni
tartan mission at Toxic.
Berlin, July 22.-German slang is
being enriched by a number of in
teresting expression S which have
come into use at the front. The avi-
ators, for instance, do not drop bombs
they slay seggs.' Soldiers no longer
talk Of the aviator-observer and Of
the pilot. The former is always
