BIG POULTRY DAY,
Farmers Becoming Interested
In Chicken Business.

Monday and Tuesday were chicken
days this week and another large car
Of over 20. 900 pounds was loaded at the
depot for eastern markets. This makes
the fourth full car load of chickens
shipped from Huntingdon this spring
and yet the farmers say there are
plenty of chickens in the country for
the local market. The prices paid this
time was Is cents for hens and eight
cents for roosters, the highest. price
yet paid in this market.
Our farmers have been getting on to
chicken markets in the past few years
and have learned to bold their hens
until spring. They have also learned
that a few dozen hens to spare in the
spring will cost them practically moth

helps greatly in starting the crop,

NATIVES CLA|M M UNCLE SAM |S
 BUNK"

Uncle Sam is a great big fake"
 If you do not believe the foregoing statement the next time you happen to be near Panama Crossing ask any native you meet and they will bear it out. The natives of that section are peeved. They are more than peeved, they are sore and extremely so. Why? Because the territory of Alaska offers a bounty on wolf skins and then does not pay. The average native of the interior does not know of any such animal as the territory of Alaska, but they do know about Uncle Sam and the difference between the two is too fine a distinction for them to understand. So they are sore at Uncle Sam. and the first chance they get they are going to get back at him good and plenty.
 If Uncle Sam ever visits their sec tion of the country and they catch him alone he will be shot in the back. or will be turned loose in the woods without clothes to furnish the piece de resistance for a banquet to which all the mosquitos in the Yukon valley will be invited.
 Here is the reason for this bitter feeling on the part of the natives. Since the Alaska legislature passed the wolf bounty bill and nice large no tices have been printed and stuck up in conspicuous places all over the land, nailed on trees, stumps and elsewhere , the natives of the interior have been mullng the question over in their minds as to whether to send the skins to Uncle Sam or sell them to fur buy CTS.
 Finally two native boys decided to take a chance, and two skins were prepared and shipped, on one of the Panama river steamers, addressed in nice large letters, printed on them by the natives themselves. Did they ask any advice about them? They did not Uncle Sam was well known, everybody knew him, and anything addressed to him would go straight to his house as fast as the boats could travel. So these two wolf skins were addressed in the large letters to Uncle Sam, Outside"
 The skins were placed in a boat in the hands of a friendly member of z the crew, and were seen safely on their way by the anxious native boys, who stood on the bank and watched the steamer until she had passed the 1 bend down the river. That was the last heard from the skins, and the . boys are very sore at poor Uncle Sam, and he will have an awful time squar- ing himself with them.
 The governors office was notified of this dereliction today, and now every one concerned is scratching his head in an effort to solve the difficulty and find out how to make the stock of Uncle Sam stand high with the natives again.

DETAILS DE \ l H OF OLD-TIME
 ALASKAN

The Butte Daily Post pays the fol- lowing tribute to a former townsman, Thomas c. Moves, whose death was recently recorded in this paper. and who had a large circle of friends in Alaska. where he spent many years in the mining development of the territory:
 MT. Moves was a victim of pneu- monia. Broken in health he came to Butte on December 20 last and a few days later left with his wife and mother for St. Louis, here he entered hospital. He appeared to be on the road to recovery and his friends here had supposed that he would soon be back in Montana. He was, in fact, cOnvalescing, when he suffered an at tack of pneumonia. contracted in the hospital, and it was this that carried him off His health had been under mined by the hardships of a prospect ing trip taken recently in Alaska, and it was that that had brought him to Butte in December.
 For eighteen years MT. Moves had been a resident of Alaska. He was a pioneer of some of the more i'm portant districts in that northern country, and had taken a prominent part in the development of the ter ritory.
 As boy none was better known in Butte than Tom Moves. He was born May 25, 1874. in the Noyss resi- dence, 47 East Granite, which is still the home of his mother, one of the best known pioneer residents of the city. He attended school in Butte. and after completing the high school he went to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
 On his return to Montana he be came interested in Alaska, where many Montanans already were located. On January ', 1898. he married Miss Frances Patchen at Seattle. That same year he removed to Alaska He engaged in mining and he became one of the well known men of the north ern country. He operated at Nome, Skagway, Candle, and was a pioneer of the Candle creek country where he made a fortune in placer opera tions. He established bank there.
 MT. Moves home was on Tongas is land, southern Alaska. From there he made many expeditions into the interior He had prospected in the Shushana district with some success, and it was on another trip to a part of Alaska that he made his last trip. This was a particularly trying expert ence. An athlete skilled in the mode of travelling and living in the far northern lands. he met with hardships of an unusual nature on his last ex- IpeditiOn. They so wore him out that he was a physical wreck on his return 1 to his home on Tongas island. In the hope of restoring his health he de- cided to come to the States He was accompanied by his wife and little daughter, Bonnica They went to Seattle, where MT and Mrs, Moves are very we'll known. and from that city came direct to Butte. It was then decided that MT. Moves would be bet ter off in a warmer climate, and he was taken to St. Louis, leaving here after Christmas
 Besides his wife. little girl and his mother, MT. Moves leaves his brother, Jack Moves, and two sisters. Mrs Arthur P. Heinze of New York, and Mrs, T. J. Murray of Butte The fam fly is specially prominent, and MT. Moves himself was we'll known in Montana. on the coast and in Alaska, of which he may be said to have been a pioneer.
