James Byrne, G.. M. Garland, Harry Bo land, Geo. M. Armstrong, c. o Jones, Leonard Bergstrom. Don Tel ico, Mrs. Louis Trafolet. Dennis O'Brien, Frank Lundin and Walter Selky. Fred Webber, secretary o the league, rendered his resigna ton of that office as he had tC leave Long creek. His resignation was accepted and George Harris was elected in his place.
 Saturday, April 20, Miss Martha Johnson and Carl Haggstrom were quietly married on Long at the home of their friends, MT. and Mrs. John Flanagan. The ceremony was per formed by Vance R. Mcdonald.
 The following night MT. and Mrs Carl Haggstrom gave dinner al the Pioneer Roadhouse to which they invited their intimate friends, name ly: MT. and Mrs. J. Flanagan, Mir and Mrs. F. B. Walker. J. F. Kelly Vance Mcdonald and Carl Nelson.
 Monday night the young couple were given a dance at Moose hall which was informal and most pleas ant.
 Anent this marriage, it might be we'll to recall that the past months in Ruby district have been more fay orable to weddings than almost any period in the history of the camp embracing the following couples: Mr. and Mrs. Seward Baggerley, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Erickson. MT. and Mrs. Stanley Ditton. MT. and Mrs Allen Ives, MT. and Mrs. Allan Nc. Donald, MT. and Mrs. Carl Hagg. strom, Mir. and Mrs. Theodore Swin. lund, Mir. and Mrs. Dennis Coyle, MT. and Mrs. Chas. Johnson. Dan Cupid thus far has disposed of al. most all the marriageable young wo- men in the camp but few, the number of the latter amounting to about as many as there are fingers on one hand:
 Regarding Commissioner Mcdonald Of Long 1t has been unanimously de- cided by residents in the camp that every time he is reported missing, and when last seen wore his best suit and spotless white linen. it was time for all others to put on their wedding clothes. For never has he been reported as being mysteriously absent but some secret marriage service explained tn. circumstances.
 Sam Kincaid, local superintendent of the Ruby-Long road work, is in- specting same with regard to the condition of the culverts, the prob lem of glaciers and the probable need of repairs. He stated that when he employed men in the repair work he would show preference to un- employed young fellows in the draft list in order to enable them to straighten any little obligations they may have and also to furnish them with little cash for personal use when travel to cantonments became necessary.

J. F. Kelly is in receipt of let ter from Geo. Sheppard which stated that the latter is on his way back to Alaska. Sheppard went Outside last summer.
 Saturday evening, May Il, at S:3O o'clock, Long attended a public meet ing the purpose of which was to raffle the rooster Liberty" This cock. presented by Miss A. V. Horner of Horner Hot Springs to the Ruby Red Cross workers has had most exciting career.
 First he was raffled at Ruby, where John Campbell drew the lucky number. The winner reverted him to the Red Cross who then auction. ed him off. He was bid in by Harry Stockman for $2O who then present ed him to the newly welded bride, Mrs. Theodore Swinlund who in turn presented him to the Red Cross.
 The upshot of this shuttlecock and battledoor game was that "Lib- erty" was sent to POorman to be raffled, where $60 was raised. Added to the twenty of Harry StOckman's bid and the $6O in the Ruby raffle, the Poorman raffle made a total of $15O. The name of the POorman winner Is, not known.
 Therefore, when MT. Liberty made his appearance at Long special meeting was called to entertain the guest properly and a little program was arranged by the camp. The worst rain of the season kept many from roming in from the hills but numberless enthusiasts waded the creek in hip boots and such slight misadventures as getting water over their boot tops didn't dampen the camps ardor.
 The meeting opened with Chair. man Ed. Wilkinson in charge. All sang two stanzas of America" and Mrs. Allen Ives rendered piano solo, "H Trovatore."

The President is a most accomplished
academician. He is strong with his pen.
His war papers have been matchless. But
it remains to be seen what comes OF
them. Success is the sole test in war.
Meanwhile, he asks suspension of judg-
ment-which, Professionally, at least, seems
not unreasOnable-urging the granting OF
still more and greater power than the ex-
traordinary powers already voted, which is
open to challenge
The claim set up in favor of every de-
mand that it springs from military neceS-
sity, agreement required withous question
in the name of loyalty, sometimes puts
strain upon the most fervid spirit. Patri-
otto men, realizing that the President is
our leader, want to give him all the sup
port he needs. but thoughtful men, who
have read history and know something OF
human nature, would reserve certain
jurisdiction to themselves. These, seeing
how of the President has shifted foot in
matters which of pith and moment; would
have him 6rmer to principles and less sus-

him within his constitutional limitations.
Assuredly they would not have him disre-

STOCK
CHEAPER BEEF FROM sILAGE
Successful Experiment Conducted at
South Dakota station by
Director Wilson.

A load OF steers was recently mar
keted IN Chicago by the South Dakota
experiment station which had been fed
only corn silage during a period Of five
months. and brought rs killers within
$3.50 rs much per hundred as the best
steers sold. The steers were on the
road without any feed In the cur for
80 hours and shrunk only 10 pounds
per head on n rainy day. The average
gain per head during the 1fS-day feed
ing period was two pounds. These
steers consumed "a tons OF silage and
made n gain OF 5,92i pounds, or an av-
eruge Of 296 pounds each.
This successful experiment was per-
formed under the direction OF James
w. Wilson, professor Of animal hus-
bandry and director Of the experiment
station. and explodes the theory that
corn sllage should be fed sparingly and
only ms part OF n ration for dairy cows.
'What a wonderful saving Il would be
for this country" says Director VIII
son. III all yearllng steers had made
an average gain last winter Of two
pounds per head or little more than
the snmc-aged steer usually makes on
grass.
'.The corn plant when cured I'm its
own juices seems 10 be an excellent
feed to produce goln-nothlng better
when we consider cost. And when we
consider the hundreds Of acres where
only part Of the crop is harvested
the ears--and the stalks and leaves
and husks allowed TO waste, we are
not very near the maximum stage Of
production"

Of the two membranes are so slightly
