Helping Increase Meat Supply

As a war emergency measure the
National Forest ranges are carrying
this summer approximately 100000
more cattle and 200, 900 more sheep
than in ordinary years, according to
the grazing experts of the Forest Ser
vice. Ordinarily the National For
csts furnish pasture for about 500,
900 cattle and horses and 100000
head of sheep.
The number of livestock permitted
on the Forests is limited in order to
prevent damage to timber growth,
water supplies, and the range itself.
This year exceptional water condi-
tions combined with the general food
situation to create an unusual emer-
gency, calling for special provisions
to take care of the stock. A severe
winter and late spring exhausted the
hay supply and forced use of the
spring ranges before they had reach
ed their normal state. TO lessen the
losses which the western livestock in
dustry faced, the National Forest
ranges were opened early. At the
same time, the number Of stock per-
mitted for the present season was
raised to the maximum consistent
with safeguarding future productive
ness.
1t is fully recognized that the in
creases which have been made in the
allowances of stock on the National
Forests involve danger that the range
will be depleted through overglazing,
but it is believed by the grazing ex-
perts of the Government that the
emergency increases made can be
taken care of, at least this year, with
out material sacrifice of productive
capacity.
At the close of the grazing season
a careful examination will be made
of the range on each Forest to deter
mine its condition and to find out
how many cattle or sheep it will sup
port next season.

Get Good Seed Wheat.
Consult Your County Agent AS
To Where To Buy.

Owing to the fact that several severe
hail storms passed through Frederick
county during the past few months and
destroyed the wheat crop in certain Sec
tions there will be a demand for seed
wheat. Every one needing seed wheat
should be on the lookout for a variety
that long experience has shown to be
best for his region. The best smooth
varieties for the county are Currells
Prolific and China. Fultzo, Mediterra-
mean and Fultz, 30 commonly grown, are
among the poorest yielders in the State.
The best bearded varieties are those be-
longing to the Fulcaster variety. The
best of these are Bearded Purple Straw,
Deitz Longberry, Mammoth Red and
Miracle. The Miracle should be seeded
at the same rate as other varieties and
not at the rate of two pecks per acre as
has been recommended by the promoters
of this variety.
All seed wheat should be famed and
graded to remove weed seeds, and small.
light broken and immature grains. This
can be done with the ordinary tanning
mill and an increase in yield of from two
to three bushels per acre is not uncom-
mon to well cleaned wheat over that
sown as it comes from the threshing
machine.
There are quite few farmers in the
county who have grown the above men
toned varieties and will have some seed
wheat for SALE If you need seed wheat
call your County Agent and he will put
you in touch with the parties having seed
wheat for sale. 1t is to your advantage
to secure good seed wheat and get it
early.
The County Agent has list of parties
having seed wheat for sale and if you
consult him, he will give you the name
of the party nearest you offering seed
wheat for sale.

AN OlD-TIME MINING MAN
 BECOMES IDENTIFIED WITH
 A JUNEAU BUSINESS HOUSE

During the past two months he has had the office force of the H. J. Raymond Go. busy listing ac- counts. He finds that many people of Juneau and the surrounding camps have received favors and credit from the company for which they have not paid, to whom he takes this means of informing that such such accounts are costing the com pany regular banking interests. We are asking those who are indebted to us to come forward and pay us in the right way so that we can pay and all be right. Wholesalers are now demanding in no uncertain terms that their accounts be settled. MT. Wm. Geddes is an authorized collector for the company and will be in many places outside of Juneau during the summer. Please do not wait for collector. Everybody knows what is right and should act accordingly. Old-time credit GUS toms are rapidly changing on the Pacific Coast. Wholesalers will soon force all retailers to practically a cash basis.

Founder of the Catholic z Church and Hospital in Juneau Is Here

TELLS OF EARLY DAYS
Was Once a Guard Over a Whiskey Cache and Was DenounCing
 Liquor.

Father John Althoff, founder of the Catholic Church in Juneau, and also of the St Ann Hospital, arriv- cd from the south on the City of Seattle yesterday and will remain here visiting with his former friends until after Sunday, when he will re- turn to Nelson, British Columbia.
 Father Althoff is busy visiting the scenes of former days and also look ing up his oldtime friends He first arrived here when the city of Jul neau was known as Rockwell and consisted of two log cabins and a store. He remembers well when the Treadwell mine was discovered and when French Pete sold the property for an hundred dollar grub stake.
 WORKED WITH RIFLES
 q remembetr the time when the boys were engaged in placer mining on the site of the Treadwell glory hole,' he stated today, working with their rifles at their side for fear of the officials of the Treadwell Com pany.
 "I remember when the United States marines" he continued, were camped in tents on the site Of the present court house and when their parade ground was where the home of Ed. Webster stands at present. At that time the residents of the town were divided into two factions, the Harris and Juneau factions, over the name of the town
 When l established the church on it's present site, there was one little log cabin located on the corner where the church now stands. l bought it. The balance of the land was staked by me in company with old Tom Wilson. who is at present making his home at the Hospital.
 Established Hospital
 "At that time the land was GOV cred with windfalls and we made our way through it which reached above our head Later the Sisters of St. Ann arrived here, at my reqeust, and established the hospital. When they arrived they were forced to climb over a rough mountain trail from the beach to the church, most of the way being through swamp and mus keg. The first three to arrive were Sisters Mary zeno, Mary Victoria

and Mary Bon Secours. The latter two are dead now, but Sister Mary Zeno is still the efficient head of the hospital
 Early WrangeI Days In recalling his earliest days in Al aska, Father Althoff tells the story of Wrangell. We were forced to sleep in Mrs Aliens boarding house and as the rush to the Casiar was on the town was over-crowded. For five days I slept on the floor with my feet against the head of another man and with a mans feet against my head and with a solid row of men all over the floor. The tables above us were covered with a solid row of sleeping figures. There was no pri vacy and as l was just from the Old Country it was very hard on me.
 Finally Dutch Charley asked me if l wished to occupy cabin of his and it was paradise beside the boarding house It was only a shake shack, but it was the greatest kind of contrast
 ~ q continued my work among the natives and whites, holding services several times each week. l preached in Chinook and each time exhorted the natives to stay away from whis key and drunkenness. After spend
 ing the winter there, started fol the interior up the Stikine. The sec ond day after leaving Telegraph Creek l met Dutch Charley and he asked me what 1 did about his ca bin before l left.
 Was a Bootiegeer
 'I informed him that l had nailed it up and left it just as l found it He broke out into a steady stream of curses and hurried away, much to my astonishment. Later in the year when I returned to Wrangell he met me and explained why he was mad.
 'It seemed that he had been secur, ing whiskey from the customs in spector travelling on the mail steam CT and had been selling it to the ma lives.
 Later he quarreled with the in spector and could not get any whis- key for some time. Finally a $900 shipment arrived for Dutch Charley, but on account of the watchfulness of the inspector it was impossible to land it. It made three round trips to Victoria and was finally thrown overheard by a confederate on the

An examination of our books dur ing the past few months discloses where we have extended credit over the 30 day period the old accounts remain on our books. Accounts which grow so large that no busi- ness based upon fair dealing and reasonable profit can carry the bur. den. Therefore, 1t has been decid- ed on and after May |, 1917, all patrons of this firm-without excep- tion-wiII not be extended credit when an old account extending be- yong 30 days remains on our books. We desire to impress upon our customers that the constantly in. creasing cost of living is further ad- vanced by careless credits adding to the dealers yearly overhead, and it is with a view of keeping prices to the lowest limit, promoting honesty and fair dealing that this action is taken.
