City JtiieiaI Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JAN. 22 1916.

The sIimy hand ot the beast Is again brought 10 Vlew through the effort to
 wresI away rom Alaska the right To der4se some benefit through the medi- um oI taxation from that greatest oI all her marveIous resources, the hsh- cries. Not content with &ying pit tance out of the vast wealth annually pIundereu from the waters of the ter rtoiy, tney are now. with the con nlvaAce ot the department or com meree, oI which the bureau Of fisher ies is branch, preparing to strip the territory of the last prospect of de- irving revenue from the fishing h. dustry. Also, as if in an effort to add insult to injury the same corporation controlled department, wishes to take away from the territory all control of the fur bearing animals of the district. This is going the limit and indicates that the plunderbund are commencing to fear that the people of the terri tory are about to wake up and learn that they are entitled to something out of the vast wealth that Is being reaped by this aggregation of law protected pirates and will shortly demand that they shall have a share in the millions that are being taken from their bays and rivers and streams. The enact ment of the last legislature placing a tax, a pltifully small tax on the pro- ducts of the fishing combine, evidently set that trust by the ears and they are now attempting, not only to nullify the objectionable legislation, but are also preparing against a recurrence of such iniquitous doings in the future by having their tools in the department of commerce take away all rights and privileges of control which might give them trouble In tho future. Delegate Wickersham has apparently forstalled the plan for the present by having the measure referred to the committee on territories where 1t Is more likely 10 receive different consideration from that which would be accorded by the committee on fisheries. of which Rep resentative Alexander, who introduced the measure at the behest of Secre- tary Redfield, and who Is undoubtedly In sympathy with the intention of the department, Is the chairman. The in- t'odpction of two bills, one of which IS designed to centrallze control of the fisheries in the department and the other to take from the territorial leg islature all authority over the fish cries and fur bearing animals and par tIcular the right to tax the fisheries in any way indicates plainly that the action Is part of a we'll developed plan, which was probably conceived by the fish packers themselves and Is doubt less so framed that the packers will practically control the fisheries of AL aska through their henchmen in the department, one of whom Is the secre- tary himself.

Last year Canada was In hard luck An over extended boom in town and city lots in the northwest had weak ened the financial position, and the banks were drastleally restricting credits when the war broke out. Then to put the cap sheaf on the dominion's weight of woe, the crops failed at the very time when all grains commanded fancy prices. This combination of dis asters forced the dominion and pro- vlncial governments to take etraordi- nary measures to relieve the distress of business men, and moratoriuma were declared that afforded temporary relief, but injured credit because sol. vent but dishonest debtors hid behind the law.-New York Commercial.

BISHOPS APPROVE PLAN
TO REUNITE METH0D|ST5
Boston PreIate Reads Address
at General Conference
on Subject
CBy Associated Press.)

SARATOGA SPRINGS, n. Y, May >
The proposal to reunite the Methodist
Episcopal church north and the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. south, which di-
vided about seventy years ago over the
question of slavery, is approved in the
Episcopal address of the board of
bishops read at today's session of the
Methodist general conference by Bishop
John w. Hamilton, of Boston.
The attitude of the bishops on this
question follows:
I'VE are convinced of the essential
unity of the two great methodisms III
doctrine and life and this essential
union must in due season express itself
in outward and organic forms. Without
presuming to pronounce upon the terms
of union we declare ourselves earnest
ly in favor of the organic union of the
Methodist Episcopal church and the
Methodist Episcopal church, south, and
of such other bodies as may share our
common faith and experience. More
over We declare ourselves in favor of
such a union upon terms that shall pro-
vide an ample and brotherly protection
for any minority
The bishops praised the denomina-
tional activities among the negroes of
the south, the labors of the mission
boards. and the study and criticism of
the scriptures under the direction of the
Ilavmen's missionary society. Child La
Dor, the growth of Mormonlsm, the re-
neal of Sabbath observance laws, in
several localities and the liquor traffic
were denounced.
The membership of the denomination
has increased between 100000 and 4OO,-
600 every four years for more than half
q century, according to the address.
The address emphasized the responsi-
biIity. concerning and opportunity re-
sulting from the European war. say
ing:
THE occasion requires the keenest
ldiscernment and most tolerant apprecia-
tion of the opinions and feelings IN
the several belligeTent nations. This Is
especially true of Metnodists, who by
their systems of church. polity are re-
lated to every nation at war. In Petro-
grad, Rome Frankfort, France and Hun
gary the work of the church is being
planned and carried on with forward

No experiments have been conducted
to prove the specific value of oat pas
lures for dairy cows but according TO
their composition they should make a
fairly good substitute for grass at this
season of the year. Grasses as You
know. always afford cheap feed. If You
turn your cows on the four acres In
question, however, they will trample and
destroy a great part of the feed. We
think il will be better practice. to let
these oats grow for the next thirty days
and cut and feed them from the time
they come into the early dough stage
until they are practically matured. We
believe you can use them with dairy
cows I'm the manner indicated TO better
ADVANTAGE than i'm any other way. The
cattle will consume practically all of
the feed. There will be a minimum
of waste and you will obtain a maxi
mum amount of nutriments from this
area of land.
