DAIRY COW WILL
BE

Waterloo, April 2.-The interest in
the dairy industry in Iowa is rapidly
increasing in all parts Of the state.
This fact was brought out very forci-
bly, by the interest taken in the dairy
demonstration train which has recent
ly been operated by the Iowa State
Dairy association over the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad.
This trip was planned purposely
through those counties where there
The counties In which stops were
made were Clinton, Cedar. Linn, Ben
ton, Tama, Hardin, Hamilton, Webster,
Humboldt, Pocahontas, Buena Vista,
Clay, O'Brien, Sac. Ida. Woodbury.
and Monona. It was expected that in
some Of the counties. at least there
would be very little interest shown:
But on the contrary large. enthusiast
tic meetings were held at practically
every stop. Weather condition de.
creased the attendance in a few in
stances, but those present were be-
levers in the dairy COW as a means of
making a profit upon high priced Iowa
land.
The purpose Of this work is not to
antagOnize the beef interest, but
rather to point out the Importance of
milking not necessarily more cows,
but profitable COWS. With the present
average yearly production in Iowa Of
only 100 pounds of butterfat per COW,
one out Of every three COWS is being
kept at an actual loss. The necessity
of the use Of the milk scale and the
Babcock tester in wedding out the I'm
cows or "boarders';; the
use Of the pure bred sire as the surest
and most economical means of grad
Ing up the average herd and increas-
Ing the productions: the necessity of
improved and more economical feed.
ing of dairy cows; the value of proper
If healthy cows and the production of
sanitary milk; the use of proper care
n the production and handling of milk
milk products on the farm; and
he use of the special purpose dairy
'reeds for profitable dairying; were
Ill emphasized both in the demonstra.
ion cars and in the meetings held at
ZACH stop.
Community Cow shows were held at
he majority of the towns visited.
local COWS were brought in to COM
'ete for prizes offered by the local
clubs. In each caGe, a COW
demonstration was given both
0 the men and to the boys and girls,
demonstrating the most important
Joints to consider in the selection of
he most profitable type Of dairy cow
this, a boys and girls judg-
ng contest was held in which they al
competed for prizes. Great interest
taken by the boys and girls in this
york and approximately LOO were en-
cred in the different contests.
The immediate results from such
york is not usually in evidence. How.
yer, during this trip, preliminary ar.
angements were made for a number
progressive movements. At What

TO RECOMMEND CLEANING OUT
 OF TOLOVANA

That a government man who re- gently visited Interior Alaska with the object of Investigating the ob- structiOns to navigation on the Tolo- vana river, will recommend that the government spend approximately SIP 900 to clean the snags out of the river in order to prevent boats and barges from striking them and sink ing, is the report in circulation here. He went 10 the Toloyana country, it is stated. with the idea of seeing what could be done toward remoy- ing the log jam, thereby making the river navigable for big boats, but it is understood that he found the pro jeCt to be impracticable.
 The government man was F. s. Greeley of the department of the interior. He camsto Fairbanks over the trail from the Outside accom- panied by T. F. Campbell, and to- gether they went to the TolOYana river country to pursue their inves- tigations. They are reported to have made the distance from Seattle to the log jam in exactly twelve days, which is considered exceptionally good time. After they made their investigations the two men returned here. but remained only few hours, starting out over the trail the after noon following the night they reach ed town
 Whether or not the snags will be removed from the Tolovana river remains to be seen, but it is thought probable that slne action will be taken in the matter by the govern ment after Mir Greeley's report is made.

HAWAII IS
 VERY LOYAL

HONOLULU, T. H.-While stu pendous preparations have been un- der way on the American mainland for AmeriCa's participation in active warfare, and owing to considerable censorship on news which affects To- calities detached from the American mainland. the nation has lost sight of Uncle's Sam's most formidable ocean outpost-tlfe' Hawaiian Islands which since 1898 have been a ter ritory of the United States That the island group is intensely loyal to it's foster parent was evidenced immediately after the declaration of war, when eX-Queen Liliuokalani raised the American Flag for the first time over Washington palace, her present home since she was com pelled to leave the royal palace in Honolulu.
 Always the beautiful Hawaiian flag of the monarchy days and now the flag of the territory, has floated over Washington palace. The raising of the Stars and Stripes over this historical home. was entirely volun- tary on the part of her majesty and was an occasion of intense gratifica- tion to the commanders of the United States army and navy departments in the islands, and to the 15,000 sol diers and blue jackets. Washington palace was built in the latter part of the forties of last century, a handsome structure of semi-colonial design and named Washington pal ace in honor of George Washington, the name being officially approved by Kamehameha III, ruler of the kingdom at that time.
 Hawaii is doing it's bit" in the conservation of food, enlistment of young men in both the army and navy, while already some of the of ficers and men of the naval reserve corps are serving on warships which are already sent thousands of miles away from Hawaii. Honolulu saw practically the first elements Of an tagonism between the United States and Germany when, previous to the declaration of war, the German cap tain and officers of the Geler, m termed in Honolulu harbor destroyed the boiler and attempted to destroy the ship, United States soldiers, blue jackets and marines being called to extinguish the fire and take the cap tain and crew prisoners.

 That the people Of Nenana will miss Mrs. Riggs goes without say ing. They will. however, be that much more ready to welcome her when she returns to her Nenana home on the first boat next spring. which she now expects to do. MT Riggs. it is understood, will return before that time in order to start preparations for next summers ac- tivities.

ECLAR WRITES
 OF NEW PLACER
 CAMP ON DIME

During the summer there was a mild stampede on to Marshall City, on the lower Yukon river, and later information was received here rela, tive to a reported placer strike on Dime creek, tributary of the Koyuk river, coming into Norton bay about half way between St Michael and Nome. Since that time but very lit tie authentic information has been received here until few days ago, when letter was received by Le- roy Tozer, the local attorney, from Joe ERlar, the well known Hot Springs and Tolovana mining man, who stampeded to Marshall in the spring.
 MT Eglar, 1t appears, went from Marshall to Dime, and 1t Is apparent from his letter that he thinks very little of either camp, although he says nothing of Marshall He states. however, that il is his intention to stay on Dime creek for while and prospect
 Dime creek, according to MT Egg lar, enters the koyuk river about forty miles from it's mouth Some gold is to be found on both sides of the river which Is frozen on it's light limit and thawed on the left. Dime creek itself is a shallow stream and most of the mining claims there are low grade propositions. There are, however, few fairly good claims, from which their original stakers and owners are getting con siderable money All good ground was staked before MT Eglar reached Dime. his only chance having been to get in on some of the claims which at that time were considered as wild cats Pay has also been located on two other small creeks, according to the letter.
 The Koyuk river is one that can be navigated by boats capable of carrying twenty tons Practically all are operated by the use of gasoline for fuel Wood is very scarce, cost ing from fifteen to twenty dollars per cord, while lumber brings sixty five dollars per thousand. No large boilers can be taken Into the Dime camp, as the boats are not large enough to haul them, unless they can be transported overland, which is very difficult.

REPUBLIC F0R
 GREAT BRIT AIN
 NUT PRACTICAL

hO I1ibo I0Il|
 Associated Press spondenCe)
 LONDON, Sept.-General Jan Chris ton Shuts, who fought the British in the Boer war and conquered Ger man East Africa for Great Britain in this war does not believe in mak- ing d republic out of the British Empire. He told 300 members of parliament this at dinner in his honor the other night in the house of lords.
 You cannot" he said, make re public of the British commonwealth of nations because you would have to elect a president, not only here in these islands. but all over the British Empire in India, and in the dominions, a president who would be representative of all these peoples; and here I say you would be facing an absolutely insolubIe problem"
 At this gathering General Shuts broke bread beside Lord French who led the British forces against him in the Boer war. During his speech he gave a little hitherto unrecorded history of his struggle with the forces of the British general.
 "On one occasion," said the gen eral, q was surrounded by Lord Frenchs forces and was practically faced with disaster There was noth- ing left to me but the most diligent scouting to find way out. I did some scouting myself with a small party in a place called 'Murderer's Gap, and was the only man to come out alive. Two days afterward l broke through and came to rail way A train approached, and it was suggested that it should be stop ped, but I gave the command to let it pass The train passed. Later I learned that the only freight it carried was Lord French"
 Reyerting to the question of gov ernment of the British Empire. Gen. Shuts said he preferred to call the British Isles and their possessions "a British commonwealth of nations rather than an empire" The speak CT said that he believed the future British government was an entirely new problem.
 q do not think" he said, that the system of the United States of America would work because We do not want to standardize the nations of the empire. There is only one solution, and that is supplied by our past traditions, traditions of freedom, of self-government and of the full est development.
 There are two important factors that We must rely upon for the fu ture The first is our hereditary kingship. I have seen some specu- lation recently in the newspapers about the position of kingship in this country, speculations by people who, I am sure, have not thought of the wider issues at stake.
 The theory of the constitution is that the king is not your king, but the king of all of us, ruling over ev- cry part of the empire; and if his place should be taken by anybody else, then that somebody else will have to be elected under process which will pass the wit of man to devise.
 We have a kingship here which is really not very different from an hereditary republic. I should not be surprised if the time came when our royal princes, instead of getting their consorts from princelings in Europe, will seek their consorts in the outly- 1 ing portions of the empire" Bardt Olson and Fred w. Harry hausen will be passengers for the Outside on an outgoing automobile today.

Immediately after the report was received Commissioner Riggs detailed about fifty men to start search for those missing, but the searching party had not been out more than an hour when it was learned that Ellenson and Case had returned to Camp after trying all day to cross Clear creek, which they were unable to do, and after camp ing out all night.
