PROPER PLANNING OF CITIES
Method Has a Deeper Significance
Than the Mere Laying Out of HUI
man Dwelling Places.

II am very glad to hear that among
the objects of the American Civic as
ISOLATION is that of getting rid of the
impression that city planning has
mainly to do with the large cities OF
hundreds of thousands of inhabitants,
and indeed that is not solely concerned
with these cities, but that one of the
main functions of city planning is to
deal with the small town and even
with the small village community" so
said Mr.. Thomas Adams, the we'll
Aknown English town planning expert,
how civic adviser to the commission OF
conservation of Canada, in opening an
address at the convention of the Amer
lean Civic association on the subject.
The Economic Basis of City Plan
Ming"
Continuing, Mr.. Adams said: "Town
planning does not deal with the beau
tification of the town but town plan
ming, / should rather like TO put it,
includes the establishment of the ex-
ternal features of the town both in
regard to its public buildings and in
regard to its transportation. But these
matters are only part of what should
be properly regarded as city planning.
And when we come to analyze the
fundamental things In city life we find
that really we ought not to begin with
the establishment or with the beauti-
full in the city, but that after the route

e the Industrial and the residential;
the factories and home life. You

It TO make sure that in the next
forty, fifty or sixty years every per-
soa who builds a new home will be Sc
cured against disease which may be
created by anything that can be pre-
vented. You want to make sure that
the conditions shall be healthy in re-
gard to housing as well as in regard
to the general civic aspect of the city,"

These are some of the facts indicat-
ed by the poster which explains why
survey of the live stock producers
shows that those who are producing
the good stock are the ones who stay
dropping out.
From the breeding standpoint the
importssat steps are ~ the use of
tried purebred sires, (2) proper feed
ing of breeding animals, (3) careful
culling of barren and pOor-breeding
females, and (4) replacing culls with
the best females in each seasons pro-
duce.
Since it costs little or no more
profits to produce an eight-cent steer
than it does to produce a five-cent
steer. the profits to be derived from
producing live stock on corn belt farms
is limited by the quality Of the ami
mails. Good sires must be secured and
the herd must be carefully culled.
Last but not least, the marketing
problem must be carefully handled.
Cooperation with neighbOrs is often
essential if purchases and sales are
to be made to the best advantage.

TRY AGAIN TO BLOW
 UP SEATTLE DOCKS

SEATTLE, August 17.-Seattlc is again being made the scene of at. temps to destroy great waterfront properties and last night two such at tempts were made and came winthln an inch of causing tremendous destruc ton. The first attempt was when an incendiary attempted to set fire to a warehouse at Pier 4 at the foot of Spring street, which is occupied by the DodweI Dock and Warehouse Company and by the Borderline Tran sportation Company. The attempt was made by hurling a bottle of phos- phorus on to the roof but the immedi- ate discovery prevented a costly blaze. The second of the series of incendiary attempts was even more determined.  This time a bomb was placed under the floor of Pier D of the Pacific Coast Company's wharf at the foot of Jackson street and blew a hole ter feet in diameter through the floor. it also wrecked a shack which stood on the dock. Non union men were sleep ing on the dock at the time bus a nightwatchman saw the fuse light and .pluc<ily rushed in in time to awaken them and save their lives. The eX- pIosion was so strong that it hurled ,imbers ten feet long and six inches square for a hundred feet.

MINING LAW PASSED
 BY LEGISLATURE IS
 INVALID SAYS COBB

NOME, August lO.-Thcre is great discussion here of a knotty mining question. Several of the most promi- nent attorneys asert that section 20, chapter 10 of the Session Law of 1915, regarding assessment work on mining claims by survey, is invalid. They assign the reason that this is not development work required by the United States laws and that the Alas ka Legislature was without authority to modify the law.
 To which Juneau paper adds:
 "Territorial Counsel J. H. Cobb when showed the above report today stated that the law was invalid and that development work is demanded as assessments on mining claims. Surveys are not improvements, being merely a step in the acquisition of a patent"
