Capt. w. II.

 When a week before, the American navy had shot up and captured Vera Cruz, the authorities on the west coast got the curious notion into their heads that Mexico and the United tates were at war, and so sent out a transport of troops from Manzanillo and captured the Geneva as prize.
 Sometime later the gunboat Raleigh arrived and prize and crew were re. leased.

LAND AGENT ID
 REVIEW GOAL CASES

w. H. Lewis, Special Agent from the Interior Department at Washing ton, D. C., arrived at Juneau Satur- day night. Mr Lewis was sent there at the request of the local land office to help review the numerous coal land cases which have been hanging fire so long, it being feared at one time that the local force would not be able to get through the mass of evidence within the time prescribed by the act of Congress of Oct. 20, 1914.
 This same act provides for the Ieas- ing coal lands in Alaska, and fur ther provides that all controversies over coal land then existing should be adjudicated by Oct 20, 1915, so that it would be known what coal lands were open to lease. MT. Lewis was sent to assist in the matter but finds that Register c. B. Walker and Re ceiver Frank A. Boyle, of the Juneau office have progressed so rapidly that very little of his services will be re quired.

RAISING BROILERS ON FARM
Demand for Fowls of Two 20
Three Pounds.
CRy 4. c. sMITHJ

The early chick is the most profit
able, yet there is profit in the late
chick provided it is not too late.
There is an exceptionally large de-
mand in some sections for lightweight
roasters and brCilers of from TWO o
two and a half pounds. This fur
nishes q splendid opportunity for
those who wish to rear and market
chicks without being obliged to house
them. Hatched in May or June, they
should easily weigh two or two and
one-half pounds before October |. If
especially well fed, they should reach
that weight still earlier. This is the
most favorable time to hatch and raise
chickens, as the parent stock has been
out of doors long enough 10 acquire
splendid health and remarkable vigor.
Eggs, if sensibly set. should hatch al
most perfectly and the chicks should
live and thrive.
The equipment required is very
small-a good sized box or a barrel,
covered with waterproof paper, set in
a dry sheltered place, may be used
both to set the hen in and to house
the brood, though the barrel is rather
unsuitable for the brood after the
chicks are weaned, especially if there
are many of them,
Both hen and chicks should be al
lowed free range after the chicks are
a few days old, to pick up large
share of their living, but in addition
it is good plan to feed them at night,
and to give them all they will eat, as
they will grow faster and will either
be marketable at an earlier age or
weigh more, and consequently bring
more. at a given time. Chickens of
this weight. will not, it is true, bring
a fortune, but it must be remembered
that they cost very little to rear The
fact that the earlier they are mar
keted, the better the price, should not
be lost sight of. For this reason, it
pays to feed them little where there
