Pot.ltoes Bring Large Profits Per


Five thousand dollars net profits
from SO acres of potatoes during
the past year is the record made by
Robert W. Knight, tenant on the
Allan Cunningham farm, between
Dover, Delaware and Camden, N. j.
The 1880 baskets of potatoes pro
duced were sold for 76 cents per
bushel, few weeks before potatoes
rose to, one dollar per bushel. The
land on which the record crop was
grown had never produced over $500
worth of farm products in any pre-
vious year. The land was cut both
ways, plowed six inches deep and
fortified heavily. Choice seed po-
tatoes were used, ana the crop care
fully sprayed and handled through
out the season.

There has been circulated this vicinity, and probably throughout territory under congressional frank and presm ;v in the interest of the candidacy of James Wckesham for congress document entitled "lhe Making of Representative being speech delivered by the Hon. Champ Clark at the Naona Press Club baby congressman Like many pulc docu published the of the government and circulated under the frankng privilege it constitutes rank abuse of h" privilege is of public concern only m so lar as It shows themselves in pubic office Mir. Clark is quoted as saving

 MT Clark gave list of the many noted congressman who served their districts for lengthy periods and further said:

 man young enough learn and with at least far cauucty industrious, honest energetic sober and courageous and keep him long he discharges his duties faith fully and well Such will gradually rise to high pos and influence in the house His wide acquaintance with members helps him amazingly in doing things.
 All of which s of course intended show that James Wick crsa by of his several in congress will be more useful public servant than will new member rom AaNa Charles 4. Sulzer for instance.
 There great deal of truth in what MT Clark reported saying The seniority rule in reference to committee appoint lnents responsible for the fact that members hand- capped in their work in behalf Of thelr con stuents and condition that cannot well be avoided without revolutionng whole system of legislative practice But hardly will deter the people of territory from selecting the of their choice to represent them Ill the halls of congress.

YUKON'S LABOR SHORTAGE

An Ottawa dispatch of August II, re printed in the Dawson News, says that the Yukon is being drained of men owing to enlistments, and the shortage of lahof dur, ing the coming fall will seriously hamper, if not partially paralyze industry in the far northern territory, according to J. ". Boyle of Dawson president of the Cana dian Klondyke Mining Company, who IS m Ottawa on business In fact the shortage is so severe that Mir. Boyle contcmplates making representations to the Dominion government authorities while in the cap ital. It has been suggested that the ahen labor law be relaxed to make up the short age in the Yukon, so that laborers could be secured from the United States.
 The mining and construction companies do not mind the men from the Yukon eli listing. In fact, they would prefer that these men go, as they are on the whole a fine type, and most adaptable, is they could secure other men who could do the work, even if not quite so efficient
 MT. Boyle said that since the construc- ton of a government railway in Alaska many had crossed the border from the Yu- kon and gone to work on the construction of the new road, so that men could not be secured from American territory to take the places of those enlisted He said that neither could men be secured in British Columbia.
