in which he will give farmers view
of the present political situation.
Mr.. Creel, who is member Of the

knows is the farmers language and
he never attempts to travel the high
paths of the political spellbinder. He
lis close student Of farmers prob
lens and political issue and after care
full investigation of the non-partisan
league he is convinced it is not what

non-partisan league is mighty poor
place for him to wake up in.
Mr.. Creel is filling a number oi

candidate but is sounding what hi
believes to be a note of warning tx
his fellow farmers Of the state. Sat

might have as many farmers as posi-

CAPACITY
OF POULTRY PLANT
C. C. Cantwell to Hatch 100, 900
Chicks of All Standard
Breeds.

G. G. Cantwell is working out de-
tails Of plan by which he hopes to
make the Three-C Egg ranch at Hover
one of the largest breeding places in
the northwest :
At the present time Mr.. Cantwell
breeds only pure bred White Leghorns.
Starting with only small flock he
has year after year increased his hat
chings, built up the quality Of his
birds, and established a reputation
that brings him business from all
parts of the northwest. Last spring
he hatched $4,000 chicks and was un-
able to supply the. demands for day-old
chicks. Already many Of his former
customers are booking increased or
ders for next year and inquiries are
being received from new customers.
Among the inquiries are many re-
quests are for breeds other than
White Leghorns.
To meet this increased demand, Mr..
Cantwell proposes to install two more
mammoth Buckeye incubators and not
only increase his hatchings Of White
Leghorns but to take on Wyandottes,
Orpingtons, Rocks, Rhode Island Reds
and other standard breeds. It will be
impossible to accommodate these new
breedso n the Three-C ranch, other
than to hatch the eggs there. To ac-
complish his purpose Mr.. Cantwell
will endeavor to interest other poultry
raisers in this district. His PROPOSE
ton will be to superintend the Sc
lection Of the breeding pens from
which he will contract to purchase
all eggs suitable for Matching and to
pay a premium above the market
price.
To carry out this plan it will be
necessary for Mr.. Cantwell to place
his order for the new machines within
the next few weeks and all poultry
men who may be interested should
communicate with him without delay
The increased equipment will give
the Three-C ranch Matching capa-
city Of more than 100000 chicks each
season.

MARKED EPOCH IN INDUSTRY
Experience Of Years Of Warfare
Should Have Effect on Coal Min
ing In This Country.

The inventory of the nations re-
sources that the war made necessary
brought to light many new facts about
coal mining which will be of lasting
value to the industry and to the pub
lie. AS long as the war lasted these
incidental lessons were lost sight of
under the pressure of meeting the
emergency created by the shortage Of
fuels. but with the return of peace
the experience gained during the war
Is being gathered together in a series
of reports on the industry the first
of which, Goal in 1911" by c. E.
Lesher, has been published by the
United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior.
The period from 1914 through 1917
and 1918 and into 1919 may be regard
ed as a distinct epoch in the coal in
dustry, Of which the year 1917 repre-
sented only one section, but section
its achievements, was at once the most
chaotic and the most momentous in the
history of the industry.
In response TO the unprecedented de-
mand the bituminous mines produced
551, 790563 tons, or nearly 10 per cent
more than the output of the year be-
fore. The anthracite output was 90
1871 net tous an increase over 1916
of 1877 per cent. The total output OF
both hard and soft coal was thus over
650,000.000 tons.
This record output was accomplish
ed by labor force of 603, 143 men In
the bituminous and 154,174 in the an
thracite mines. In spite Of the draft
the number of workers In the bitumi
nous industry was greater In 1917 that

UNCLE SANS GAME RESERVE
island Of Afognak, on South Coast Of
Alaska, Peculiarly Adapted for
the Purpose.

One Of the most picturesquely in
teresting parts of our national do
main is a large island off the south
coast of Alaska 1t is called Afognak
and is about SIS miles long by 40 in
width, with a very irregular shore line
and deeply indented by bays.
1t is the property of the government,
and In 1892 was set aside by President
Harrison as a game and fish reserve.
The important purpose that II serves
Is that of preserve for salmon, all
the finest varieties of which run up It's
stream In great numbers at the breed
ing season to spawn.
Afognak is a mountainous island,
Of volcanic origin. its Hottest peak
rising to an elevation of 1900 feet.
In the interior are number of large
lakes, which are the breeding
grounds Of the salmon. One of
these. Letnik lake, Is seven miles long,
and on its shore is located big gov
eminent fish hatchery.
In the days of long ago. before the
United States bought Alaska, the sal.
mon fishery of Afognak was operated
| by the Russian-American company
which established on the island col
ony of its superannuated and pensioned
employees. These We're Aleuts whose
descendants today compose the native
population, somewhat more than 400
though their blood is much mixed.
