PREVIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED

DOUGLAS, Aug. 27 While one star may differ from another in glory. there is very little difference between wet days further than that one day it rains hard and the next day it rains harder But on Saturday there was every indication that Sun day would be fair. The result was that every boat and every fowiing piece owned here were requisiti0ned for that day. Early starts were ar ranged and lists of those who could not go but who were to be presented with hunk of venison were filled out. Sunday morning came, just as are accustomed to come, and with it came the reopening of the floodgates of heaven which had been pent up for "A hours and all day Sunday it poured as it only can pour in this portion of the sphere mundane The result was that few hunting parties braved the tempests and those who did were disappointed in the matter of game.

COATS SUICIDE ESCAPING THE
 HAND OF MAN
Douglas Island Men Have Hard Time Attempting to Transplant Goats
 to Admiralty.

DOUGLAS, Aug. 27.-That the work of transplanting goats, wild, elusive and wary, from one section of Alaska to another, is fraught with consider able difficulty is now realized by three venturesome Alaskans, Ray c. Gossett, Babe" Samples and l.. T. McInnins, who arrived in town the
 latter part of last week after spend ling some time at Brady glacier near Cape Spencer in their efforts to cap ture wild goats which they intended taking to Admiralty Island with the view of populating the latter with the goat family.
 Theoretically, the matter of trans planting goats is all right, but prac- tically it is something else entirely. As goats have no particular yearning to be transplanted, they decline to be captured alive and the result is that some ways and means not yet devised must be incubated before Admiralty Island becomes the home |of these freedom-loving mountain climbers
 At various times the Gossett party thought they as good as had their hands on a number of goats in that they had them cornered on points from which they had no opportunity for escaping. But the would-be cap tors had not reckoned on the des- peration of goat disposition Rather than be captured the goats deliber- ately and determinedly committed suicide by leaping off precipices hun dreds of feet high and converting themselves from shapely quadrupeds into mince meat smeared over the rocks below. Nor was the suicidal practice confined alone to the old goats as the party found that the kids only few weeks old preferred death by leaping into space from high precipices to being tanned by the hand of man.
 Another thing was discovered ac- cording to Mr. Gossett, and that is that the mountain goats are all in. tested with hoof rot which is due, presumably, from the practically con tinuous wet weather. All the goats killed or found after committing sui eide were noticed to have the dis ease.
 MT. Gossett, who is well posted on the game of the country, lately vis- ited the Taku country where moose abound and where he says one In- dian in few days killed fourteen moose which he shot down for the mere pleasure of slaughter-a yeri table game hog leaving the carcass es where they fell.
 There is a small appropriation. $1,500 of public money for the pur- pose of goat cultivation on Admiral ty Island and it was the hope of se- curing portion of that money that Gossett, Samples and McInnins were seeking to capture goats near Cape Spencer, hut they are now conyinces

DOUGLAS MEN ARE
 MISSING; PARTY IS
 OUT ON A SEARCH

DOUGLAS, Aug. 27.-Some appre- hension is felt here today concerning Councilman Oliver Olson and Ray Me Cormick, who left for Admiralty Island in the latter's 1S-foot launch, the Alice" Friday morning, expect ing to return Saturday or Sunday. As they had not shown up this morn ing, Richard and Ed Mccormick, fla ther and brother of Ray, chartered the big launch Hunter" and left to search for the overdue men.
 While it is not believed that Olson and Mccormick would venture to come home in the storm that pre- vailed yesterday, or that anything has befallen them, their people felt that, as indications are that the water between here and Admiralty is still rough, it would be best to go out and bring them back in the larger boat

Poultry Pointers

Feed at regular hours and the fowls
will always be ready and waiting fol-
their last meal.
Put the windows in the poultry
house low down near the floor, so that
the hens will get the benefit of the
light and sunshine when scratching foI
their feed.
! The chaff that settles beside the
straw stack at threshing time makes q
splendid winter litter in which to feed
the small grain. Have it about six
inches deep all over the hen-house
floor.
All perehes In the poultry-house
should be built on level. When built
one above another, step-fashion, the
hens will fight for the higher perches
with the result that some of them will
become injured or eggs will be broken
in them.
Crit or lime is absolutely necessary
for egg production. 1t is always well
to have large pile of sand and gravel
handy, where the fOwlS can help
themselves.
