HURJA SEES
 PROSPERITY
 OVER ALASKA

Business in Alaska is on more substantial basis than ever before in the estimation of Emil Hurja, who is in Junecu after an extended trip to the westward and to the in- terior of the territory Mir. Huria arrived on the Alaska and will stop over a boat before proceeding south. His Alaskan trip is for the purpose of obtaining material for series of development articles on Alaska for Outside magazines.
 Cordoya business men report sub stantial gains over the last five years: the canneries did well there this year, and the new clam industry is developing rapidly Mir. Hurja said. Copper shipments Of course continue to furnish the bulk of the experts the Alaska had aboard $SOO.- GOO worth Of Kennecott ore.
 Valdez has a smaller population than last year. but business is on a frmer footing. The merchants report collections easier. A mild furry has been caused in and about Valdez through the activities of Key nolds, the former railroad promoter who is trying to get support for a combined shelter, customs mill and banking scheme
 Mir. Hurja attended the official opening of the Matanuska coal fields at Moose Creek. 30 miles from Anchorage. last month. Coal is now being shipped regularly from the Dougherty property to Anchorage al prices about half those prevailing before. The work on the railroad is being rushed from both ends. Grad mg on the main line towards Fair banks from Matanuska Junction will oe within 100 miles of Broad Pass be- fore snow flies. according to Mr. Hurja.
 The newspaperman made the trip over the trail from Valdez to Fair banks by automobile. The Alaska Road Commission is rapidly improy- ing the trail so that an average speed of 10 to F miles is readily possible. Next season after more of the road has been grayeled bet ter time will be possible.
 Optimism is higher in Fairbanks than 1t has ever been before" Mir. Hurja continued. There isn't a bit Of jealousy over the new townsite of Nenana, in fact. Fairbanks peo- pie look for a live town at themouth of the Nenana for the period of con- struction and are going ahead boost ing and helping the new town all they can. Actual grading has been started from Fairbanks towards Ne mana and from eNnana towards the coal fields and the first train from Anchorage is expected early in 1919.'
 Mir Hurja is at the New Cain, and will leave for the south on the next boat to re-enter the University of Washington for his last years work there.

NIGHT SCHOOL TO
 BE ESTABLISHED IF
 OCCASION DEMANDS
Initial Steps Are Taken in City Providing Sufficient Students Enroll to Make the Venture Necessary.

A night school for those who de- sire a better education and who are obliged to work during the day time, will be established by the Ju- neau School board within the near future. provided a number signify their desire to attend the school. The decision to establish the school was reached at the meeting of the Juneau School board yesterday after noon.
 Prof. Henderson appeared before the city council last evening and asked that the new night school be allowed the use Of the city hall for the classes three nights week. The permission was granted.
 A nominal monthly fee to pay the actual cost Of operating the school will be charged those attending as this is outside the regular school work and the city is unable to bear the burden The school will be es- pecially for older persons and special classes for foreigners will also be ar ranged.
 r. A. Britain. who is talking of establishing a business school here has agreed to cooperate with the new night school and will act as one of the instructors.
 Arrangements have already been made for presenting work in Business English, Shorthand Typewriting. German. Spanish. Woodworking, or Manual Training. and classes in ele- mentary school work for foreigners. Classes in ether subjects will be or ganized in case there is sufficient demand In fact there must be suf- fcient demand for any of the work to warrant securing an instructor in the subject before it will be offered
 "Any who are interested are asked to visit the superintendent in his of- flee at the city hall between the hours of 9 a. m. and D. m on any day before Saturday. Sept. 23r6. For the convenience of those who may be unable to call during the day the office will be open on eWdnesday, Sept. goth. between the hours of z and 9 D. m, said Prof Henderson today"

SMOKING AND WAR ALLIED
Interesting tc Note The Innovations
Which Have Been Brought
About by Bloodshed.

It is interesting to note in refer
ence to Sir Ian Hamilton's appeal for
cigarettes "fcr my brave fellows in
Gallipoh," that the last war in which
Britain was engaged in that part of
Europe resulted in a new fashion in
smoking. Before the Crimean war smok-
ing was regarded as a rather surrepti-
tious habit tc be INDUCED in In
out-of-the:waY places, and it is record
ed that both Gladstone and Palmerston
were strongly against the tobacco hab-
1t, and did net like to have people
near them who had been smoking.
There was much smoking Of cigars in
the trenches at Sebastopol. Soldiers
returned from the war set the example
not only of wearing long whiskers, but
of smoking with much more freedom
than in the past, and cigars appeared
in the streets. In those days some OF
the old school smoked cigars in china
holders elaborately painted, an exer.
else calculated from it's peculiar incon-
veriences to keep smoking within

NEGLECT VALUE OF RECORDS
Cow Bought at Low Price Not Always
Best Investment-Sest to Keep
Track of Feed and Milk.

Is the cheaper-priced dairy COW
necessarily the better investment?
The question is well answered in the
following instance: A man wishing
a COW for dairy purposes called upon
a dairyman who kept milk records as
well as cost accounts. The buyer con.
fined his attention to two cows. AAe
of these would cost him s75, the HEfser
SITS. The former was in good condi.
ton, but the dairy characteristics were
not as fully developed as they might
have been; the latter was the direct
opposite. The records of the two
COWS were shown the buyer, but he
was not as much interested in records
as he should have been. He did not
consider it worth while to sit down
and figure out which would be the bet,
ter investment.

Sroken-Winded Horse.

pressed. The trouble is incurable, and
the treatment, therefore, can only be
palliative.
The difficulty in breathing increases
when the stomach and bowels are con-
gested with food and water. Both are
to be given only in small quantities at
a time. Green food and cut grass
should be fed at intervals.
The food should always be damp
ened with water. Dusty or burned
hay is to be avoided, as are also
chopped straw and overripe rye grass.
1t is a good plan to mix quarter
Of pint of linseed oil with each feed.
AS regards medicinal agents, their
action on broken wind can only be
temporary.
Every dealer has his specific for
this disease. Some give the animal a
pound OF lard, or any sort Of food fat
made into balls, while others give a
quantity of leaden shot. Asubcutaneous
injection Of morphia many resort to.
These things do 10 permanent good,
but as the palliative treatment, if care
fully carried ont, is o. great benefit to
the poor animal, it may be looked
upon as the only treatment for a
broken-winded horse.

MAKE BACK YARD ATTRACTIVE
Cost Need Not Be Great If a Little
Care Is Given to Proper
Expenditure.

Why not make the back yard just
sls attractive, or even more attrac.
tive, than is the front lawn? II can
easily be done and at very small ex-
pense. Instead of piles Of rubbish, an
unsightly ash barrel or two, more
unsightly garbage receiver, unsightly
clothes-line poles, etc., take a little
time and spend a little money and
make the back yard lawn or garden

pass portion of every day,

ceiver, which is sanitary, does not
take up space in the yard, keeps away
rodents, and is a permanent invest.
ment. The cover operates by a sim
pie foot trip, a blessing for the won.
enfolks.
Keep the ash barrels in the cellar
or under the piazza, where they may
be screened from sight.
Then, instead of the clothesline
poles, bare and dirty, build a pergola
around them and cover it with climb
ing vines which will keep green all
summer; this will cost only few dol
lars, and will add hundreds of dol
lars worth to the beauty of the back
yard.
Then, if you have two or three
shade trees there-and if you have
not, you had better have some trans.
planted at once-build around each
one rustic seat; this you can do
yourself at the expense Of only a
pound or two of nails and few
hours Of work cutting the sticks which
you will need from some nearby
grove.

DECORATOR MUST BE ARTIST
Is Compelled to Have Wide knowl
edge to Practice Profession
These Days.

Formerly the decorator or painter
merely had to deal with colors and
paints, and use them to the best ad-
vantage. Nowadays decorator is
compelled to have knowledge of the
several branches in rugs, furnishings
and draperies, their adaptation, selec-
tion and utility, and even the plaster
ing branch of building construction,
advising for rough or smooth plaster,
relief or stucco work, carpenter or
cabinet work, says the Real Estate
Magazine. He must make himself
familiar with all these things in or
der TO carry out his scheme and pro-
duce the effects which he may desire
to produce in the respective rooms Of
the modern house.
The decorating, and, to some eE'
tent, the furnishing, has become al
most as much a part of his calcula-
tion and work as the mere painting.
He must make his interiors handsome
and inviting. The tenant when nego-
tiating for a first-class house is no
longer context with bare, white walls
and plain floors. The demand in sucn
cases is for house that is finished
according to the modern idea. Like
everything else in building co-.5truc'
tion, these perplexities are turned over
to the architect to solve, but the mod.
ern metropolitan owner or manager
must take them into his business
along with brick, cement and steel.

GIVE cows SALT REGULARLY
Best plan is 60 Have Hox Randy
Where Animals Can Help Them
selves Whenever They Wish.

Don't forget to salt the cows. In
experiments it has been found that a
COW should have three-fourths OF an
ounce OF salt q day live weight, With
an additional siX-tenths of an ounce
for each twenty pounds of milk pro-
duced, to keep her in the best Of con
ditior.
Animals deprived of salt become
emaciated and of low vitality, finally
suffering q complete breakdown. Salt
should be provided regularly
The best plan is to have a box con'
tanning salt where the animals can get
to it Whenever they 30 desire. Either
fine salt or rock salt can be used, a.

LAST OF BULGARIAN ExARcHs
Third and the Final Man to Hold Office
Has Recently Passed Away
In Sofia.

Joseph I, by birth Lazar YoVtcheff,
whose death is announced from Sofia,
was the third and in reality the last OF
the Bulgarian exarchs.
The exarchate is older than the Bull
garian state, and played great part
in calling it into being and extending
it's boundaries. The firman establish
ing the exarchate is dated March H.,
1870.
The first exarch was not chosen till
two years l..ser, and held Office for only
five days. His successor ruled Tor
five years, and was compelled to re-
sign when Russia declared war.
Twelve days later Joseph was elected.
His promotion was extraordinarily
rapid. Born in 1910, he was Journal
list. The second exarch made him sec
retary general to the exarchate in 1872.
He took orders that year on the very
day when the patriarch, exconrnuni'
Gated the Bulgarian church.
A month later he was an archiman-
drite. In 1S74-75 he was sent to the
bishopric of Widdin, and he thereafter
returned to Constantinople as the
right hand of the exarch. In 1875 he
became metropolitan Of Loftcha and a
year later exarch.
He was a man of great courage, cool
Judgment, skilled diplomacy, unttring
patience and high organizing talent.
He carried the exarchate through the
critical time of the war.
He resisted all efforts of Turks,
Greeks, and even -shortsighted B'llga'
rians to confine his authority to the
territories Of the new Bulgarian state,
and he slowly and steadily extended
the sway OF the Bulgarian church IN
Thrace and Macedonia and laid the
foundation of the Greater Bulgaria.
The story of his establishing new
bishoprics and emancipating the Bull
garian schools from Greek control Is
such a chapter in diplomacy as only
Balkan chronicles can show.
The second Balkan war virtually
confined the authority of the exarchate
to the limits of the Bulgarian state,
and it's Importance as political insti-
tuition for the making of the big Bull
garia apparently disappeared.-Man-

CARING FOR YEARLING COLT
There Should Be Gradual Change In
Spring From Grain to Grass
Furnish Some Shelter.

In the spring, when all the work
horses must be put to work, it is
often a problem just what to do with
the yearling colt. 1t goes without say
ing that they are, in most cases, sadly
neglected. If there are few green
spots showing in the pasture they are
turned in there to make their living,
and all the attention they receive is
an occasional handful of salt.
This change from their ration Of
grain and hay to one of grass is pretty
likely to cause considerable setback
to the young horse. There should al
ways be a gradual change from grain
to grass, leaving the grain off entirely
by the time the grass has reached its
best.
The young stock always become un-
easy when the grass begins to look
green and the spring days begin to
warm up mother earth. They should
be turned out only for an hour or two
at first, and as they become more ac-
customed to the grass they can be
kept out longer.
During this time their grain and hay
ration should be cut down some, If
they get enough grass to keep them
interested while they are out. In this
way their digestive organs will gradu-
ally become accustomed to the grass,
and there will be no disorders Of the
intestines when they are turned on
the grass to stay. If the colts are
handled in this manner for a week or
two it will be safe to turn them out
The colts should have some kind Of
shelter for the first few nights they
are in the pasture. They have been
used to the barn all winter, and 1t will
be just a little trying on them to re-
main out in the open on cool, dewy
nights. II there is no shelter in the
pasture they should be driven to the
barn at nights for the first two or
three weeks after being turned out

From these figures we see that It
would take the s75 cow about ten
years to pay for herself in butter; II
she was middle-aged cow she would
never do it. On the other hand, the
SITS cow would have paid for herself
in butter in less than three years.
The buyer bought the SIS COW.
Would he have done this If he had
appreciated the value Of records, and
figured out the value Of each COW?
