TO Harry Burk and G. H. Parson, who
are establishing a big poultry plant on
the ParsOn ranch or upper Three Mile.
They had to decline. the offer At
highest capacity their plant could not
fill IN order Of that size, and. too,
their entire output for the coming
year IL already bargained for. No
single poultry plant in the. Bitter Root
could handle this order. though there
are several that could turn out half
the number asked.
Many Quit BUSINESS.
The utility poultry farms--the ones
that produce the eggs for market
have had an Improbable time Of it
for the past year. The price of wheat
and corn went UP with each succeed
ing month until most of the smaller
outfits and those farms where poultry
raising is a side issue felt compelled
to quit. The larger plants had too
much invested to get out because Of
one bad season. With grain coming
down to nearly normal again. and
with prospect for high priced eggs
this winter, those that stayed in the
business expect to make back some
of the money lost.

KNEW TOO MUCH.

Tsnnyson's Father Had to Fly For His Life From Russia.
 Shortly after the assassination of Emperor Paul of Russia, Tennyson. the father of the poet, dined with Lord St. Helens. the British ambassador. in Moscow. Several Russian officers of high rank whose names he did nor know were also guests. During dinner a guarded reference was made to the emperor's death.
 "Why do you speak so gingeriy about matter so notorious?" cried Tennyson impulsively, leaning across his neighbor. a Russian whose breast was covered with orders. We know very we'll in England that the Emperor Paul was murdered Count Zoboff knocked him down. and Benningsen and Count Pahlen strangled him!
 There was a strained silence; then the ambassador abruptly changed the subject. AS the guests filed out into an adjoining room Lord St. Helens drew Tennyson aside Don't go into the next room" he whispered. but fly for your life. The man next you. across whose breast you leaned. was Count Pahlen. and Zoboff was also at the ta blc."
 He gave a few hurried directions. and Tennyson rushed off. threw bis clothes into portmanteau and fed be- hind fast horses to Odessa, still in evening garb. though the cold was in- tense. He lay hidden for weeks and at last. in the disguise of a servant. was smuggled on board an English frigate.

municipal owned electric lighting plant which Is always pointed to by advocates of municipal ownership as the keystone of success along that line. The prices are identically the same as those in effect here in Val deg. The Jacksonville plant has not yet paid more than the interest on it's bonds and it has nearly 1000 customers and an absolute monopoly on the electrical business of the city. Money is continually taken from oth- CT funds and placed in the light fund to make a good showing, and yet the enterprise is just about playing even. Of course, to be fair in our state ments we must admit that the period of darkness prevailing in Jackson vile averages less than half that of Valdez, but even at that the cost of upkeep is much less and wages for electricians and linemen are less. We still maintain that Valdez has the cheapest electricity of any town of treble it's size in the world.

VALDEZ SHOULD QUARANTINE.

During the past year an epidemic of measles has visited almost every coast town in Alaska except Valdez. At the present time Cordova. Doug las and KetChikan are suffering from this unWelcOme visitor, and in the latter place the disease has assumed a most virulent type. That Valdez has not been visited by scourge of measles ere this is due to no precau- tions taken to prevent it's being trot here for apparently no steps have been taken to quarantine against the town in which the disease prevails.
 Residents of the towns where the disease is prevalent come and gc from Valdez with freedom, and there is offered every opportunity to bring the disease here. Some steps should be taken by the authorities in con- rection with the boat officials to pre-, vent the disease getting foothold here. At this season of the year an epidemic of measles would undoubt- edly cause many deaths.
 A few years ago Valdez had an experience with an epidemic of whooping cough, the result of which was sufficiently sad to warrant every precaution against any other epi iem- iC which may endanger the lives of our little ones.

A Wise Provision.

Did you ever notice when a man smites his thumb with hammer while putting down carpet under his wifes supervision how quickly he thrusts the bruised and throbbing member into his mouth? People think 1t is because tho application is soothing. But the move ment is purely invOluntarily. like wink ing. The man cannot help 1t. The fact is that nature knows what mail is apt to say under such circumstances and so has provided him with an auto matic stopper. Whenever he hits hi1 thumb hard enough to hurt-and ii doesn't take a very hard blow almost to kill a man when he is doing some thing he doesn't like to do-by a sort of interlocking system his thumb flies into his mouth. and for the critical moment speech is cut of.
