The Fairbanks Bar Association held two meetings during the past week. They were called by the president of the association to as certain the trouble which caused a little dispute in court the other day between Attorney Louis K Prat; and District Attorney R. F. Roth, MT. Pratt having accused the dis trict attorney of unprofessional prac tice Judge Bunnell ordered MT Pratt to sit down and then signified his wish to have the matter inyes- tigated by the bar association,
 The charges in question were in relation to the Williams Fleischman case which was tried last week in court MT. Roth was formerly at torney for Fleischman, but when he became district attorney he turned the matter over to other attorneys. The charge made by MT, Pratt is court was that Mir Roth was still acting as attorney in the case. He supported his ac cusations by an affidavit which was ordered thrown out of court by Judge Bunnell.
 MT. Pratt Jailed to bring the charges before the meeting of the bar association. Mr Roth then in troduced resolution asking that the matter be referred to the griev- ance committee and thoroughly in vestigated in order that he mignt be eXonerated of the charge made Nothing has been done to date in

THE BURNSIDE

The cable ship Burnside is {; yes sel owned hr the United States government and it's only duty IS to look after ard keep in repair the Alaska cable reaching up the coast of Alaska from Seattle. The cable has been in service for a number ot years and consequently needs looking after more or less all the time.
 The use of the telegraph and cable lines owned and controlled by the war department of the Unit ed States has become a second na- entire territory and when these are out of commission il works a great inconvenience, if not an actual hard ship, upon the business community.
 Interruption on the cable has been quite frequent during the past year or so, and when such interruption has occurred the cable ship Burn, side has always been out of commls- sion through being in the dry dock or for some other unaccountabl" reason and as a result the users Of the wires have been unable to get service except after a great oelay and ill some instances not at all.
 About two weeks ago this same cable decided to go out of business agaln, and the latest information received up here was to the eff feet that it would be at least eight weeks before the cable ship would be able to investigate the cause In the meantime those desiring quick service are assured that it may take three days to get their messages to Seattle, with no guarantee tha; they will get there at all
 The care of these cables is the only duty imposed upon the Burn side, and why it will tahe her eight weeks to get ready to move to the scene of the disturbance is mystery which may never be revealed

GOOD PARTY MAN.

The Juneau Dispatch under date Of April 29th published a column article regarding the passing Of Dan Callahan and goes into some details regarding the trouble that existed between him and Marshal Erwin. It gives the history of both men rom the very inception of the camp. and tells wherein the friction occurred which ultimately proved the downfall of Callahan
 There Is nothing particularly new or exciting in the story. with the win was always good party man and constantly worked for the party organization III the Panama valley.
 There is where the teller oi the story got things slightly mixed. un- less he considers the deliberate de sertion from tke ranks of Democracy at a critical time as being the ac; of good party man"
 Honest John Roman was once upon time the regular Democratic nomi nee of a territorial convention called for the purpose of placing in nomi nation a candidate for Gelc2ato To congress. Stubs" Erwin opposed the candidate of the party and took the stump in his opposition and ir favor of the present delegate to congress. T. is also charged up man in the campaign in the Fourth division who deliberately slandercd and lied about John Roman.
 It was not .ntil he thought tb ":,s were about right for Democratic victory that Erwin commenced his "organizing efforts" in bchalI of the party. and then it was through be traying his friends and constituents at a convention held at Valdez, when a dirty dozen bolted the convention and set up shop for themselves.
 It was at this meeting of Alaska Democrats that Stubs" Erwin was selected to attend the national con yention, wa& arrested while enIoute East to the convention. thrown in jail and was only released after friends came to his assistance 'i- i111 bl h; big talk about tried and true De- mocracy and gained the pull which gave him his present position He did not disclose the fact at that time that he was a Democrat only when there was something in it for him
 He at once assumed the leadership of the party and took over the ob- legations of combination with the Republicans through Shacli!oford and the Democrats who have met With his favor in appointments were only those who could be counted upon to do his bidding. He has used his office ever since he took it to fur ther his own ends and has given but little thought to the advancement of the party. That is why there is no Democratic party in the Fourth division.
 If it were put up to the people to- morrow which of the two men-Cal- lahan in the penitentiary or Erwl1 in the marshals chair-the people had the most respect for or confi- dence in, it would be a landslide in favor of Callahan.
 Which all goes to show what Er- win is thought of as a good party man"

MAKE STABLE COMFORT STATION
Giving Cow Comfortable Winter Home
Means More Milk and 6utterfat.


No dairy COW will yield her maxi
mum of milk and butterfat unless she
is comfortable. As winter approaches,
it is necessary to make some practfcal
changes that will add to the comfort OF
the cows. recommends the dairy nus
pandry department at Ames.
The dairy stable should be warm.
dry and well ventilated. II there are
cracks in the wall these should be COW
cred by lath. Often 1t Is well to line
the interior of the stable with heavy
paper. Where the stable floor Is low.
care should be taken that the drain
water flows away from tie building
Ventilation deserves special attsn-
ton. Where no means for ventilation
has been installed good plan u to
provide openings covered with canvas
thru which air can pass. This Is a
very primitive method Of ventilation
but is better than allowing the cows
to breathe impure air.
The practice Of bedding the cows
with straw from out OF doors Is often
followed. In extreme winter when the
snow Is deep it Ia difficult TO get straw
in this way and, it is we'll to prepnrN
in advance by getting large supply Of
straw under cover. II this is done the
COW will be assured Of plenty Of bed

IOWA FARM NEWS AND NOTES
CHOLERA NEARLY ELIMINATED o.
Farm improvement League Does Good
Work in Scott County.

Hog cholera is apparently almost
eliminated from Scott county thru the
use Of serum and the activity OF the
farm Improvement league is giving
publicity to preventive methods.
In 1912, only 400 hogs were treated
with serum. In 1918, 1920 were
treated and 81 per cent were saved,
while 10 per cent of the hogs In un.
treated herds which became sick were
able to survive the disease. In 1914,
22,250 were treated and SO per cent
were saved, while only 20 per cent OF
the hogs in sick herds not treated were
able to pull thru. Since that time no
record has been kept in either treated
or untreated herds. In some cases the
results have not been satisfactory, due
either to weak serum or virus. The
past season, however. q number o.
herds have received the treatment
without losses. There is serum on the
market which can be relied upon. and
any man who lies next to herd sick
with cholera is foolish not to put this
insurance on his animals. Serum has
solved the problem of hog cholera.
