SCENERY MOST
 SPECTACULAR
Photographer Describes Glacier Bay, Where He Took Pictures and
 Ate Gull Eggs

Photographer Ed Andrews re- turned Saturday from Glacier Bay where he spent over a week in probably the least explored and most majestic of all the Alaskan coast. Mir. Andrews was taken on Che trip by Chas. Hclsing, prospcctor and fisherman. i'm the lattcr's launch Eloisc and was absent from Douglas eleven days.
 Although there was a little rain every day Mir. Andrews was in the mammoth glacier field, he secured several dozen pictures not only Of the famous Muir glacier, but Of oth- CTS almost as grand and as formid- able as that which thousands have visited in the past score or more years.
 Mir. Andrews says Glacier Bay is SO full of floating ice that a small boat must pick its way between and around tho floating borgs, many Of the latter protruding as high as 30 feet above the water. He estimates that the Muir glacier has rcccded fully twelve miles in the past IS years. as its edge is now back that distance from where tho famous sci- ontist built a house 30 years ago and in which he lived while study ing the great phenomena While the Muir house has fallen to pieces, the foundation is still there as well as the chimney which was built of rocks which were cementcd together. The falling or of ice from the Muir glacier has divided it into three parts. mountains of rocks separating the three portions. Parts of the front Of the glacier are dead and have ceased sloughing on into the water. Mir Andrews managed Co secure pictures of the Muir and other glaciers from many different angles and when the pictures are completed, they will form a most valuable and interesting set
 Owing Co tho cold and general dcsolation of that section, Mir An drcws says there is no game there, but strange to relate, the barren and rocky shores lately barred by the glaciers sliding or them, are the nesting places of myriads of sea gulls. He brought back with him several gull eggs which are fully twice as large as common hen eggs At Che time Andrews and HcIsing wcro there not less than five canoe loads of Indians were there gather ing gull eggs which they sell Co ln- dians employed at canneries, and sometimes to whites, at five cents each. The photographer sampled the gull eggs and they are not un- palatable but wholly different in flavor from hen eggs.
 Glacier Bay, which is GO miles long. is SO full of icebergs that it is no longer safe for excursion steamers to enter it and for that reason Muir glacier is no longer fca- tured by the transportation com panics as the leading wonder of Al- aska. Previous Co the series of se- we're earthquakes in 1899. which an old timers distinctly remember, Glacier Bay was visited by nearly all the excursion steamers, but since the earthquake dislodged SO much ice which has since been com stantly followed by massive pieces hundreds of feet square, it is not safe for steamers to venture in that locality and for that reason few tourists of the present day are per mitted to sec the most spectacular scenery on the American continent

other day" writes Canadian major.
that there is a new style in trench
letters. The censOr's duties have
been reduced by many per cent. The
soldier now has the sense of the stu
alton engrained i'm his thinking. He
sees through the need Of keeping quiet
even on matters that call for some
criticism. There is more humor and

One of my men who can't write very
well, was telling me the other day that
one letter week Is all that he can
summon up his courage 10 write, and
he gave this as reason: The people

BUFF COCHIN is VERY GOOD
BACK YARD FOWL TO RAISE

There is no bird on the lists of the
pure-bred so easily bred up to stan
dard perfection as the Buff Cochin.
The Buff Cochin is the fancier'S fowl
of all fowls. For the utility stand
ard, as i'm the fancierS standard, no
fowl is more easily handled for what
you want it to do. 1t is your own
miSmanagement if your fiOcks of
Buff COchins do not come up to
large yearly record of eggs, both win-
ter and summer, and we who have
raised the Buff Cochin know how
grossly must the flock be neglected
for them TO go so much as Il half
pound below the standard set for
them. The Buff Cochin is the ideal
back-lOt fowl. 1t bears confinement
better than any one other breed. a
low fence Will keep ii safe at home.
1t Is an old breed, and now well bred
into an easy, lazy life. 1t never frets
to get out and explore the world. as
