FATHER DUNCAN PASSES AWAY

One of the most famous charac- ters of Alaska passed away at Met lakahtla on August 31, when Rev. William Duncan died at that place of apoplexy. He was S6 years old anf was born in Beverly, England!
 Converted to militant Christianity in 1857, he decided to work among the heathen." His first work was in Northern British Columbia among the Tsimpsean Indians. He learDed thr Language of the natives and founded g colony, but difficulty with tha Hudson's Bay Company led him r. take his converts into American territory. He obtained permission from the United States to settle on Annette island, in Southeastern Al aska
 The new colony prospered from 1887 on and ten years ago was con. sidered one of the most important settlements in the North.
 It contained 130 houses, a numOei Of public buildings, all Indian-bailt;
 largest church in Alaska, the largest library in the territory, car nery employing 150 men and'packing 10, ,OO0 cases of salmon yearly and 8 stora carrying a stock valued at $25, 900. The Metlakahtla brass band which toured the country a few , cara ago, was one of the most fla nous organizations of native musi- cians every formed among the In dians.
 Duncan's government was strictly one-man rule. He considered his converts as children and refused to allow them that measure of self-gUV' ernment which they saw natives en- toying in other Indian colonies es- abolished under patronage of the United States Bureau of Education Controversies regarding control of the school and business affairs of the colony marred the later years of his life, but the great outstand- ing feature of his work of ciVllizing the Tsimpseans survives in the records of the church and in ar- tieles printed far and wide.

THE NORTHLAND AS A
 PRODUCER OF SILVER

Never since the days of 1896 has tAere been as much talk of silver as thern is at the present day.The un- usually high price of the white met al, with strong talk of bimetallism again becoming an issue, has caus- ed district on the Outside that have been abandoned for more than twenty years to again become active
 Alaska and the North generally have never been considered as much of a country for the production of silver, but certain amounts are re- covered every year that come from the reduction of gold and copper bearing ores. Perhaps the great est reason for this lack of inter est at this time is that the mineral production of the whole North com menced at just the time that silver received it's solar plexus jolt when the American people retus- ed to elect Bryan,
 However, long before Circle. kloL dike, Nome or Fairbanks days, silver was discovered and worked in what might be called the inter for of Alaska. On the Kobuk river silver property was opened up and became a producer in the early sos and the claims on which it was produced were patented, camI started ,and a small town came 1n- to being, known as "Silyer City"
 Recently the Dawson News came out with a big article on the pos abilities of silver production in the Yukon territory, and predicted that Dawson would become known at some future time as great silver producing section.
 In this vicinity We have several localities that show the existence Of galena in quantities. Chief among these is the Ohio creek section of the broad Pass, but there are also good prospects on the peninsula. Alaska has shown the world what i. has in the way of gold, copper and coal, and In all probability can also show that it has silver in a- bundance.

GOOD RATION FOR YOUNG PIGS

ID. l., C., Fayetteville, Tenn, writes:
! am trying to figure out balanced ra-
ton for young growing pigs, before and
after they are weaned. ] will not have
sufficient green forage for them. am
thinking of using velvet bean meal or
peanut meal with corn, would You ad.
wise tanksge and corn. have plenty OF
corn at 1.35 per bushel and hope TO have
pigs enough soon to consume 1t. would
be glad to have your advice In this matter.
We are all familiar with the fact
that corn by itself does not provide a
suitable ration for young pigs. There
are said to be two causes: first, a de-
ficiency of mineral matter so that the
skeleton is not properly developed sec
ond, a deficiency in protein which inter-
feres with the rapid and uniform growth
of hogs due to the need of that element
which builds up the muscles. Hence,
corn by itself is not satisfactory food
for hogs and must be balanced up in
some way if the economical develop
ment of growing hogs is to be attained.
In Georgia we have produced a very
large quantity of peanuts and velvet
bens Last year they were grown on an
extensive scale. owing to the invasion
of tire greater part of the state by the
boil wecvil and also on account of the
desire of our people to diversity and
grow larger areas of those crops needed
college we have fed both velvet bean
and peanut meal in combination with
corn to hogs. Both rations have proven
satisfactory. our experience up to date
indicates that one of these. concentrates
is about as satisfactory as the other
when you consider the difference in COM
position and price which each commands.
When using velvet beans with corn
we would feed on the basis of two
thirds velvet bens and one-third corn
as long as the hogs are growing. When
ready to fatten them off we would use
equal amounts of possibly two-thirds
corn and one-third velvet beans. in
feeding peanuts use the preliminary
ration on the half-and-half basis. We
consider velvet beans and peanuts as
satisfactory to combine with corn as
tanlIage and we would imagine that
these concentrates would be cheaper for
your purpose. We think you can rest
assured that you can feed any of the
concentrates now available with salts

WOOD.

New Orleans, La, September
With the cooperation OF wood
consumers, the Fuel Adminlstra
tion hopes to make the path of
the short measure wood dealer a
rocky one to travel this winter
Unless the consumers do their
part, however, efforts of the Gov
ernment in this direction will be
lost. Selling short cords is in vic
lation of the state weights and
measures law; in addition, it will
subject the dealer revocation of
license.
"The Fuel Administration is
very anxious to stamp out this
practice, John G O'Kelley, Fuel
Administrators for Louisiana, de
Glared. eau we ask is that con
sumers report violations to thei,
local district attorney. The con
sumer is the victim; it is up to
him to obtain all the evidence be
fore the district attorney can take
any action. Any consumer who
receives q short cord is requested
to get the name and address of the
dealer, the witnesses aud facts
concerning the shortage.
"The wood profteer and the
short measure shark are in the
same class with the pirates of old.
They are deserving of little con.
sideIati0D. The fueI problem will
be hard enough for the working
man this winter without adding
such troubles and that Ia why the
government Is 80 anxious TO see
fair play and square dealing"
A regulation cord measures -four
feet in height, is four feet wide
and eight feet long The cubic
measurement is 12S feet. Where
wood is chopped and sawed into
stove lengths, q small quantity
may be lost. The stack may not
measure up to the standard, but
the difference is slight. BY stack
ing the wood and measuring il be
fore the delivery wagon leaves the
residence, the consumer may lay
the proper foundation for bis CON-
plaint if the cord is found to bt
