White Whale in the Yukon

Deputy Marshal ]. c. Wood of Fair
banks, Alaska, is authority for the
story that a white whale has made its
appearance in the Yukon river oppO-
site the mouth Of the Tanana river.
He noticed the mammal on his recent
trip up from Ruby. The deputy says
that preparations are now being made
for the capture of the whale as soon
as the river freezes up a little more.
The whale was headed for some place
on the Upper Yukon, but the ice run

To Control Jute Trade.

1t is understood that the English
government is TO keep control OF the
flax trade during the next season. and
that it purposes to give greater facili-
ties for the export of yarns and cloth,
as well as to deal literally with re-
quests for permits. etc, for the home
market.
Meantime the surprisingly heavy in
crease in the price of raw materials
has made all quotations nominal.
There being only one seller in Russia
now, the government has had to pay
what may be called an exOrbitant rate
for the fiber.
Changes are also rapidly developing
in 1ute- goods trading arrangements.
The granting OF grading permits and
export licenses has been put on a diff
ferent footing. More encouragement
will be accorded to the shipment of
yarns until it is found that this is in
terfering with the weaving of cloth for
home outlets.

Weekly Health Talks
Where Most Sickness Begina
and Ends
BY FRANKLIN DUANE, NJ. D.


1t can be said broadly that most human
ills begin in the stomach and end in the
stomach. Good digestion means good
health, and poor digestion means bad
health. The minute your stomach fails to
properly dispose Of the food you eat, trou-
bles begin to crop out in various forms
Indigestion and dyspepsia are the common
est forms, but thin, impure blood, head
aches, backaches, pimples, blotches, dizzi
ness, belchlng, coated tongue, weakness
poor appetite, seep!essness coughs, colds
and bronchitis are almost as common.
There is but one way to have good health,
and that is to put and keep your stomach
in good order This is easy to do If you
take DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. 1t is a wonderful tonic and blood
purifier, and is so safe to take, for 1t il
made of roots and herbs. Dr. Pierce, Of
Buffalo, n. Y, stands behind this stand
ard medicine. and it is good to know that
so distinguished a physician is proud to
have his name identified with it. When

SEE EXTINCTION OF COYOTE
Stock Raisers Confident That Their
Skulking Enemy viii Soon Be En-
tirely Wiped Out.

According to stock ralSerS and farm.
seems to be fast becoming extinct. The
fencing up of big pasture districts
where practically every acre IS stock.
ed with cattle has robbed the coyote of
his once free and open range.
Because of his depredations on
young and helpless domestic stock a
bounty has in many places been set
upon his head and he has long been
a fugitive, hunted and killed by every
farmer and stock raiser. The greater
part Of these bountieS are collected in
the spring months before the mother
wolf has left her den with her fam.
lily. SO perSiStently has the warfare
OF determination been carried on that
the coyotes which rear their families
in safety must be cunning indeed.
The coyote has long borne a repu-
tatiOn for cOwardice, TO say nothing OF
other unworthy qualities, but in the
opinion OF some this is unfair to the
beast His warfare on sheep long ago
led to the institution of coyote drives,
especially in the far Northwest. Hun
dredS of men turn out and manage
the thing pretty much rs is done in
the case Of rabbit drive when great
numbers of iackrabbitS are driven IN
to a sort OF corral where they are
killed.
On one occasion many men and boys
in southern Idaho worked all day driv-
Ing in the coyotes and when they, the
men and boys, had all converged at
the corral they found just one coyote
in ii, and he got away!

lrtment of Agriculture

this state exported 1874 hogs while
in 1917 it sent SS,730 fat pOrkers to
the market, an increase of 1924 per
cent. An increase of corn production
was necessary to develop the hog sup
ply and the county agents have been
boosting this source of fattening feed.
In 1909 North Carolina raised "a
100000 bushels OF corn, while in 1918
it harvested G4,3G5.00O bushels, which
enabled the state to fatten 1.599000
hogs. In Georgia approximately %
$4,000 bushels more corn were pro-
duced in 1913 than in 1909. Other
Southern states have made similar
records in increasing corn and pork
yields.

Saves Wheat NTH Hogs.

In certain section of Montana,
nearly 30 acres of choice wheat were
beaten down by a hailStOrm just a
few weeks before harvest. II looked
like u total loss, but the COunty.agent
called a meeting of the farm bureau
and told the members that the wheat
could be saved if hogs could be Sc
cured to clean up the fields. The
county agent was then authorized to
90 hog hunting" and as result he
secured 300 head which were put to
work salyaging the damaged wheat.
In many localities the limiting fac
tor in hog raising is easy access to
market, County agents are solving
this question by inducing farmers TO
market hogs comparatively, thus great
ly reducing the expense to each farm
er. In Utah recently more than 100
farmers supplied IS carloads of hogs
from sections 30 TO 80 miles from a
market shipping point. The hogs were
brought in wagons and even automo-
biles to the shipping point and were
there handled under the supervision
of county agents. Similar work is be-
ing done by county agents or through
farmers organizations in many parts
of the country.

Agent Is Versatile Helper.

While working to increase pork
production, county agents have shown
how pork could be produced eco
nomically; how. by fighting disease.
particularly cholera, much loss could
be prevented; and how. by proper sell
ing producers could dispose OF their
animals TO the best advantage.
County agents in Pennsylvania,
working through farm bureaus, have
conducted numerous demonstrations
in the feeding of hogs, in which they
showed methods worked out by expert

The road wound in and out over canyons and arroyas and gulches up to the summit and down to the gulch. Here it followed for the main part down the bottom of the wash. Great bould- CTS were always in it. Rains made it mpassable-filled it to flood ca pacity, forced stages to halt for hours until waters had reeeded, and then to proceed laboriously while the dri. yer occasionally left his seat to throw big limbs or rocks from the road, or to examine a dangerous passage.

tween Bisbee and Douglas They built a road cutting away the brush, clearing away the rocks, graded down the high places, put in culverts and bridges and special crossings for the wide canyons.
 Still they were troubled with the rains. Their roads became two deep ruts where wheels and waters ran. Centers became too high and the road moved few feet to right or left. Desert arroyas suddenly opened up where desert roads once had marked a ribbon path between two cities.
 In themountains the same troubles existed. Spring and summer and fall freshets would take out yards and often miles of roadway. Gangs would go out to reconstruct. Maintainance

travel from Bisbee to Tombstone, he climbed into an old-fashioned stage
 Old-time stage drivers tell still a story of the green eastern peddler or salesman who travelled one of these stage trips over the divide. When the coach reached the top of steep, rocky hill, the road down was found washed and rutted and filled with rocks.
 Get out and walk down." the dri- yer advised the passengers.
 But the salesman had paid to ride. He'd be damned if if he'd get out and walk down. He'd ride, he would.
 Passenger Gets Moneys Worth
 He did. The doors of the old coach were closed. The weight which un- der ordinary circumstances would have held the stage partially to the ground, had been removed. Ruts and rocks and chuck holes and gulleys made no difference to the driver. He had the brakes set tight and the eight horses were running to keep ahead of the heavy coach.
 Inside was the salesman. Bumps and jolts and jerks sent him from one wall to another, and from the front to the. back of the coach. He emerged at the bottom of the hill bruised and bleeding.
 Why didn't you stop when yell ed to you?" he hotly demanded of the pilot. Damn you, you've half killed me"
 "Greenhorn. you're larnin'," chuck l led the driver. Next time you'll take a kind old feller's advice"
 Then 1t took full six hours for 1 the trip to Tombstone. The horses were changed twice. The passen gers were worn out from their hard 1 drive.
 Today the traveller makes the trip

 It was six years ago that the state and county together decided to at tempt building a highway which would withstand the rigors of the country and which would remain in repair with a minimum of maintain ance expenditure. An engineer ran lines from Bisbee up Tombstone can yon toward the summit, down into the gulch, along the side of the gulch, out over the plains and into Tomb stone. And at that time more than
