CORDOVA RANKS
 FIRST VOLUME IF BUSINESS

If any person desires to ascertain exactly what the Alaska trade con sists of. he can be referred to the annual report for 1915 recently issued by U. s. Collector of Customs J. F. Pugh. Of Juneau, whose office takes in the entire territory This report covers in detail shipments of mer- chandise, machinery and equipment north. and the shipments south of all products of the sea, mines. soil, etc. It gives statistics covering each sep arate port of entry by valuation of shipments in and out. By these fig ures it is ascertained that the ports of Alaska in volume of business rank as follows:
 Cordoya first, Nome second Juneau third Kitchikan fourth, Treadwell fifth, and so on down the list. Cor dova's excellent position as first port was created not only by the immense copper tonnage southbound, but by the immense amount of supplies and equipment shipped to that port for road. Nome's standing was created by the valuation of supplies and ma chinery shipped north. and the excel lent gold output. Juneau, Ketchikan and Treadwell created their totals by substantial mining and fishing indus tries. and all these places will main tain their position probably for some years to come.
 The new railroad town of Anchor age forged ahead of Seward and Val deg, but as it had no southbound ton. mage, it's standing was created eXclu- sively by the value of railroad sup plies and equipment, with general merchandise, sent into the country.
 NtHtS otHtH tiOuodHu anu AHl' passengers landed at Alaska ports, and 21 ,407 departed from same. North bound the passenger movement show ed an increase over any previous year, but sOuthbound the total showed a decrease for five years, which is splendid indication that larger num- Der than ever before remained over in the country during the winter in place of coming out during the fall season This makes for a permanent and substantial population.
 A total of 1,4O2 vessels cleared at Alaska ports and 1894 entered. This is one of the important features
 brought out in the report, as the to- dred vessels over any previous year. While 1t is true that the vessels cleared are generally duplication of those entering, yet 1t is evident that close to 1,400 vessels went into the territory, and while a number of those
 included whaling vessels. salmon ships, halibut schooners and the like,
 each and every one helped contribute
 to the great total of commerce, and
 the number of merchant steamships
 entering the territory was also great

GOOD POINTS TO OBSERVE
IN CILLING POULTRY PEN

Watch for the cOckerel that finds
out that he is cockerel soon and
begins early TO assert his individual
ity with great importance. and mark
the pullets for the laying and breed
ing pens that are good growers and
have good appetites. II heavy pro-
duction is the point sought for in
oulling the flock. says c. c. Lamb,
extension poultry specialist at o, A.
C.
The birds that make steady de-
yelopment from the time they are
Matched are those that possess good
vigor and will be the profitable pro-
ducers, Eliminate those that are
loosely put together. with slender
body. stlited legs and thigh, long
neck. long narrow pale and crow
like head and beak, and duh sunk
en- eyes. These are some of the
characteristics that indicate poor con
stitutional vigor.
The strong vigorous bird is active
with an alert carriage, a well put up
body. bright plumase. prominent, full
eye, bright comb and waffle. and legs
well set under the body and rather
wide apart
Occasionally the bird that has been
rather slow indeveloping but has
possessed good health may develop
into a very good looking bird when
finally 'fnatured. Such individuals
should be watched and not sold or
used for breeding. II is the sturdy.

ducer,

NEXT BIG LAND
OPENING IN OREGON
II. W. Purdum Working ON Plan to
Open 10000 Acres To Settle
ment.

n. W. Purdum aud Or. Kellogg re-
turned yesterday from a weeks trip
TO Harney valley Oregon, where they
were looking aver big irrigation
project Mr. Purdum has been working
on for the past year, lie is enthus-
iastic about the country, saying that
In the Harney valley there are about
4OO, 200 acres OF rich land with sage
brush from five TO eight feet high
OF this large tract about 100000
acres can be irrigated from individual
wells from the underflow, but this Is
not the land that Mr.. Purdum Is par
ticularly interested In but another
section OF the valley consisting of
10000 acres which IL is proposed
to water by irrigation from Lake
Malheur. Johnson a Son. an eX-
perienced engineering firm of Vale,
OreGon. examined the land with Mr.,
Purdum and claim that the propo-
sition Is very feasible.
II is figured that II will require
ten pumping outfits TO lift sufficient
water for the tract. the highest lift
being only 80 feet and when raised TO
the highest point the whole tract is
sufficiently level to water by gravity.
Malheur lake covers $4,000 acres
of ground and holds 100000 feet of
water but not to exceed 100000 acre
feet OF water will be required TO ir-
rigate the land The cost Mr.. Pur-
dun and his engineers estimate to
be considerably less than one dollar
per acre pumping charge, and the
cost of water rights will not exceed
$25 per acre.
People whom Mr.. Purdum has in
terested in the prospect will put on
an expert the first of the week and
II his findings agree with Johnson
& Son the project will be financed
and the great tract thrown open to
settlers.
While absent Mr.. Purdum attend
ed the opening OF the townsite OF
Crane which was very successful. The
state officials OF Oregon were there,
Ex-Governor Hswley OF Idaho and a
big crowd of people. He also visit
ed several other towns in Oregon,
among them Nsrrows, where he met
John Shumate. who moved from here
there a few weeks ago.

considerable money can be saved and
perhaps several good fried chicken
dinners may be enjoyed. by killing
off these birds that give indication
OF not developing into desirable
breeders before they become large
and STACEY, better prices will be re-
ceived per pound and considerable
feed will be saved.

putting out such excellent cheese
that there has not been a complaint
filed and the company could sell
much more than they are now maxi

For the May milk the company
paid 23 cents per pound for the but
ter fat II contained. holding back 20
per cent OF the amount until the May
product was all sold. with the
June payment, which was reckoned
at 25 cents per pound for butter fat.
the balance OF the May payment was
included. and the directors found II
possible to increase the amount so
that May butterfat netted the pa
irons over 20 cents per pound. Add
ing to the prices paid. the cost OF
hauling the milk, the customers OF
the factory feel that they are being

The stockholders and directors are
confident that with the splendid sup
