CHINESE CONSUL
INVESTIGATES
CONDITIONS

After spending ten days in Calexico
and Mexicali, Chinese Consul General
+. K. Fong and his private secretary,
Kimpson Yu, have gone to Ell Paso.
The object of the consuFs visit was
to determine exactly the conditions
under which Chinese labor is employ
ed in Mexico. in the territory COVER
ned by Colonel Cantu, and to ascer-
tain if these conditions were, such
as would warrant favorable report
OF the Chinese government. 1t is
understood that the report will give
assurance that the Chinese are well
treated, and that they are well paid,
live we'll and those already here are
satisfied with the conditions. If this
is true, it is believed the Chinese gov
ernment will consent to the emigra-
ton of as many Chinese as are nee
essary to supply the labor market in
the Cantu realm.
At Columbus and Ell Paso there are
about 900 Chinese refugees who
have been driven out of Mexico, along
with other nationalities, following the
withdrawal of the Pershing punitive
expedition. Most of these were small
merchants, and they have no place to
go They are barred from remaining
in the United States, and there is no
place in the part of Mexico governed
by Carranza or controlled even in
part, by the Villistas, where they will
be welcomed, or safe, for some time
to come.
1t is the desire of Consul Fong to
see them cared for, and he came to
Mexicali to endeavor to find a place
for them in the northern part of Baja
California. There is belief in some
quarters that for some reason salts
factory arrangements could not be
made for bringing the refugees here.
Consul Fong, it is thought, would
be very glad to see the number of
Chinese looked upon as necessary
brought into the Mexican territory,
but the Importation of labors direct
from China may be held up unless q
satisfactory arrangement can be made
for the employment of practically all
of the 1000 refugees east of Colum-
bus.
From a source considered reliable
it is learned that there was an offer
made of a bonus to be paid the COntu
government in the sum of 800 for

BUILD S|L0S is
SLOGAN FOR
RANCHERS

1t is almost universally conceded
that the cheapest dairy feed on earth
is silage, yet California has fewer
silos than any other section where
dairying is as important an industry
as it is here. The explanation often
given is that in this state we grow
green feed the year around. Yet the
owner of the silo who grows the right
crors and carefully stores his ensilage
almost invariably continues the prac-
tice. Our great crop, alfalfa, is one
of the richest dairy feeds, but it
needs balancing and concentrates are
now sold at war prices which are
prohibitive except for feeding to the
highest producing cows. Silage is not
only valuable to balance the ration;
il is good conditioner, and the stock
eat ravenously of it.
There are all kinds of silos from
low priced 70 high priced. Build which
you prefer, but build silo. There
are 100000 less cows in the Unit
ed States than there were fifteen
years ago, and there are 24,O00,000
more people. None of this loss has
been in California, for which we should
be thankful, and, while California's
dairy production will not increase suf-
ficiently to overcome the loss in other
sections of the country, she may, by
proper use of her resources, enter
more largely into this most dependable
of all agricultural pursuits.

DIES NIGHT BEFORE
COURT EXAMINATION

Charles Knight was no. examined
this morning in connection with
charges that he was a drug addict,
for the reason that he died last night
at the ST. Thomas hospital.
King had been brought to FL Gen.
tro from Calexico about ten days since
and his body bore many evidences of
hypodermic assesses.
His condition was pitiable and his
cravings for at least five grains per

NIGHT SCHOOL IS PROPOSED
 FOR JUNEAU Meeting Will Be Held at School House WedneS-
 day Evening '
 o'clock. MUCH INTEREST SHOWN Is Planned to Make the Night Courses Free of Charge to Appli-
 CantS.
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN

A meeting will be held this com ing Wednesday evening in the Audi torium of the Juneau public school building, at p. h. sharp, for the purpose of organizing a Citizenship Night School.
 Much interest has been manifest ed of late in regard to the establish ment of such school and large attendance is anticipated.
 It is planned to make the courses free of charge and the only expense attached to the Citizenship class will books, which are not at all expen- sive. It will be necessary to charge a nominal tuition fee for the course in stenography and such other cours- es as will be offered, but this will be placed as low as possible. This school is not a money-making prop osition, and is authorized by the Board of Education of Juneau
 At the meeting on Wednesday, a petition will be submitted the pros pective members of this school and since it is necessary that a large number show their interest in the organization, it is very essential that every person who expects to attend the school be present at this time. The work to be offered will depend largely upon the demand that is made by the prospective students, so for this reason also all are urged to attend this preliminary meeting Any person who is more than IS years of age and not in attendance at school, is eligible for enrolment
 The classes will be held in the new public school building and all the advantages of this commodius and pleasant structure will be of fered night school students.

CAPT. FRED WARNER TO HANDLE VESSEL
 IN THE WAR ZONE

Somewhere out on the Pacific, Capt. Fred Warner, veteran Alaska navigator, president of the Ship masters Association of the United States, and known far and wide as one of the iron men" of the seas, is speeding southward on his way to the war zone trade routes, says the Seattle Times. He goes as com mander of one of Uncle Sam's big steamships. He stepped aboard the vessel night or two ago, gave an order and in few moments he was gone, with the good luck" of scores of old friends still sounding in his ears.
 From the peaceful waters of the Alaska routes to the mined and sub marine-infested waters of the war zone-that's the latest transition in the career of the man who took the burning steamship Oregon across the treacherous Eureka bar in a raging sea more than a decade ago, when the lives of scores of passen- gers, men, women and children, de- depended on the steadiness of his nerve. The war zone can offer no test more terrible, according to his brother navigatorsa and they say that Fred Warner will meet the per ills of Uncle Sans service with the same nerve that conquered the wild dangers of the Eureka bar in a burning ship.

DETAILS ARE GIVEN OF LOSS
 OF ST. DAVID Alleged That Loss Of Barge and Cargo Was Due
 to Careless
 ness. .C ASE IN ADMIRALTY Crew Tried to Drop An chor During the Storm, but Were UnSuC-
 CeSSful.
.C ASE IN ADMIRALTY

That the wreck of the barge St. cargo of copper ore on board was due to carelessness, was the report which reached Juneau yesterday.
 The tug Daniel Kern with the crew of the St. David on board left Yaku- tat to pick up the barge, after the tug Commodore arrived at that place in tow of the Daniel Kelly. The Commodore was forced to abandon the barge, having lost her propeller, and the Kern was sent out to pick her up.
 On arriving at the wreck, the captain of the Kern refused, accord ing to the story told here, to allow the regular crew of the St. David to go aboard the barge, but put a crew aboard from among it's own men. Taking the barge in tow, they went into Yakutat, but in coming in to an anchorage the tug struck a reef and was rendered helpless.
 The crew on the St. David at the time endeavored to drop the anchors, but were unable to do so, and the barge drifted onto another reef She was stripped by the crew of the tug and barge, and in the storm which occurred during the past few days broke entirely to pieces.
 An Admiralty case concerning the matter is now being tried at Ket- chikan.

SC0TTY ALLAN AND HIS AERO SLED IS
 FEATURED IN EAST

Accompanied with a picture the Cincinnati Inquirer has the follow ing to say about Scotty Allan, which was reproduced from Popu- lar Mechanics:
 Motor sledding across Alaskan snow fields became a reality last winter when a Northern sportsman and dog racer complete the con- struction of high-powered machine designed for practical transporta- proportions and mounts 60 horse power motor that drives an aerial propeller of the tractor type. A speed of about 35 miles an hour is easily attained under normal con- ditions. The drivers seat is in a snug cockpit protected by an in- clined shield. The body is carried on two low sleds. Steefing is ac- complished through the rear one of these, which is considerably shorter than the front member. At the top of semicircular frame that supports a pair of skids, ailerons are attached. These are employed to hold the machine down and also to give it balance when curves are negotiated or strong cross currents of wind encountered. Iron claws. pivoted at the sides of the forward sled serve adequately as brakes.

NEW AUTO DEPT. 5.ss BILL TO HIT sNAG Will Have Hard Shedding When 1t
 Comes Up for Action.

The bill that would establish a sep Rrate automobile department under a reported favorably in the senate last week, will have extremely hard sled- ding when it comes up on the calen- dar for action. despite rumors to the that the automobile department be re- tained in the secretary of states office where 1t has always been and the amendment will receive a support Suf- ficient. it is expected, to be carried. and thus knock out the commission's s bill. The secretary of state feels that this should be done and the chief ciA- nor for an auto commission at S4 900 comes from automobile clubs and j0o hunters with an eye to the fat posi- tions. Already the assembly has acted favorably on far too many matters m- volving increased state expenditures, 1t is argued. and caution is urged in such cases as the separate auto de- partment bill.
 The bill as proposed established a new commissioner at a salary of $4,- 900 a year and a corps of deputies and clerks similar to these now at work secretary of state. In other words. according to those opposed to the measure, and they are many. the Dill simply creates a nice snug office at tains all the present clerks and at- taches who do the actual work at pres ent and would no doubt have to con tinue to do the work In the future.
 The only advantages to be derived from the bill, its opponents say, is that It might relieve the secretary of state from the hearing of charges against automobilists, but even this is marred by the provision in the new bill that the commissioner need no. be law yer of mature experience. although he may be. As the determining of the cases brought before him in most cases involve legal points, great many believe that a lawyer should at least have something to do with them. According to Secretary of State Perry the hearings do not materially inter- fere with the conduct of his ofdce. es- pecially under the plan he inaugurated of holding them in different sections of the state from time to time-
 While it is very doubtful if the bill gets through the senate, where 1t was Reported. it is said to be almost sure of being turned down in the house, This would make disagreeing action and would be certain to effectually kill the bill.
