fifty TO 100 cockerels to caponize at
eight weeks old by the LIST of Decem-
Der will be a candidate for most hearty
congratulations. A thousand such birds
will bring him a still richer crown of
rejoicing. There is no division OF
opinion on this subject. The cockerel.
small or large. must reach a fancy
market to bring a really pleasing profit
to the producer. The capon will grow
larger on less feed and viii bring from
p to so per cent more per pound in
the city market. Every point of ad-
vantage is in favor of the capon. The
fall hatcher should therefore make
large plans for producing the greatest
possible number of these choicest of
all meat birds. The day will soon
come when the poultrynan who fails TO
do this will be counted behind the
times in his methods.

BOOSTS VALDEZ AS THE GREAT

Country One of the Most Substantial Sections in the Alaska
 Territory.

SEATTLE, April 4.-'I don't be- lieve there is any question but what the Valdez country will continue to demonstrate itself as one of the most substantial mining prospects of the Alaskan territory" declared NJ. F Hendrickson, formerly of Portland but now the principal owner of the Three-in-One mine located nine miles from Valdez, who is guest at the Frye for few days, says the Post Intelligencer.
 "The Valdez district is purely a quartz working, and our mine com prises a peculiar strata in view of the fact that most of the adjoining properties show a considerable quan tity of copper ore. while the Three inOne has so far produced only gold quartz. We have just completed the installation of sixty-stamp mill, and have sunk a shaft 1000 feet in, length into the side of the mountain"

Carpenter. descriptive of Alaska s semi-centennial celebrations to be held in the northern towns and the tour being arranged by the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club to participate in these celebrations.
 After describing in a most inter esting manner the principal features of interest in the different localities, Carpenter says
 This celebration of an event of national importance will be held in | unique manner, each town featur- ng the industries and resources of ts locality, making it in effect an Al-Alaska celebration The partici- ,ating party is being organized by he Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Conner cial Club and will be personally con- lucted by veteran "sourdough." The towns are planning to hold cele- orations of from one to three days luration.'
 In closing Carpenter says:
 But Small Idea
 This theory gives but little idea of the wonders Of the Alaska exposition. In addition to the industrial features will be the scenic grandeur of the inside passage. surpassing that of the Thousand Islands of the St. Law renee, the Inland Sea of Japan and the fiords of Norway There will be the wonders of the Yukon. the fol lowing from it's source to it's mouth of one of the mightiest rivers of our continent, going through wilderness which, in most places, is an untouch- ed and undescribed as was the James River and the Chesapeake Bay be- fore Capt John Smith came into Hampton Roads. It will include the sight of mountains as beautiful as any in Switzerland, and the explora- ton of glaciers far greater than any in the Alps and edualed only by those of Greenland and Antartica. In both excursions the ships will sail right under the great river of ice which breaks out into the sea at Taku; and at Cordova the cars take the travellers to two glaciers, each of which is as high as the dome of the capitol at Washington. There will also be the fascination of the Eski- mos and the Indians, of seeing game, large and small, in it's native wilds, of the wonders of the midnight sun and of the new world of vegetation and sky and sea which is peculiar of the Far North.

MUNICH, April 10.-The Muench- ener Neueste Nachrichten hints that tremendous offensive will be start ed by the armies of the Central Pow CTS on the Italian front as soon as weather conditions permit. This pre- diction is partly confirmed by the report that the Alpine Corps, which was organized by Gen.

 These troops smashed their way through the Pennsylvania Alps and made it possible for the army of Gen von Falkenhayne to descend in to the great Wallachian Plain. It is supposed that they will be used to open the way into the plain of Nor thern Italy in the same manner
