Widow and Two Daughters To Continue Quartz Min
 ing At Pearl Harbor

Mrs. J. G. Peterson and her two posing a trio of the truest type of Alaskan pioneer women, will leave here tomorrow for their mines at Pearl Harbor on Lynn Canal.
 Left a widow several years ago with two daughters and a gold mine on her hands, Mrs. Peterson and the daughters have accomplished the seeming impossibility of keep ing the mine producing and the stamp mill operating entirely by their own efforts.
 Donning the garb of miners, they hammer away in the drifts putting down the holes, placing the dyna- mite and breaking the ground Af- ter the ground is broken they muck out and tramming the quartz to the little three stamp mill, turn out the finished bricks of gold.
 For years now this has been their daily life. A tramp from the home stead on the beach at Pearl Harbor back to the claims in the hills for a big days work and home again in the evening to sleep the tired sleep of the hard rock miner
 Mrs. Peterson said today that while they were not flaking for tune from their claims, which are quite rich, they do make a good living, work hard and are independ- ent She and her daughters have been spending the winter in Juneau, having been here ever since March,

NO RESTRICTION
 ON 1920 SALMON
 PACKS PLANNED
Libby, McNeill Co. Refutes Report Curtailment
 Contemplated

Contrary to the report that all canneries in Alaska this year would restrict their salmon pack because of adverse market conditions and lessened European demand. the chain of cannerics operated by Libby, Me- Neill X Libby will operate to full capacity this season and get up as large packs as possible, according to k. Svcnsson, general superintendent of the salmon department, who is in the city today,
 Big Season Looked For
 "On account of our great faciH- ties for distribution, Mir. Svensson said today. we do not have much canned salmon in our warehouses unsold. We will operate all our plants in Alaska to full capacity and hope for a larger season than last year when our Bristol Bay can ucrics were an absolute failure.
 "I found at Taku Harbor that fine progress is being made. Thirty five hundred cases of king salmon have already been put up at the plant. Had it not been for the fact that we had considerable sup plies on hand from last year." he the loss of our barge "Dashing Wave" loaded with sup plies would have seriously retarded the work As it is ahe cannery is doing fine"
 On Inspection Tour
 Mr. Svensson is on his annual tour uf inspection of the plants of his that are scattered along Il Alaskan coast line as far north as Bristol Bay, where they have six. He arrived here on the City of Sc attle yesterday and has been to the plant at Taku Harvor He arrived from there on the tender President today in company with C. E. Ahues He expects to go back again and then return to Juneau in time to catch the Admiral Wat son to Western Alaska for an inspec- tion trip as far West as Kcnai.

ANSWERS CALL OF FRIEND
Deer's Remarkable Attachment to Man
Who Had Cared for 1t in its
Helplessness.

A two-pronged buck deer answers
the calls of Jerry Shine, employed by
the municipal water district at Alpine
dam, near San Raphael, Cal.
Long ago Shine one day came upon
a dead doe in the trail Of the forest,
and standing beside the mother was
fawn. 1t was miles to Shines cabin,
but he carried the fawn home with
him, fed it and gave it the name of
Billy. After time Shine left the dis
trict. He returned several days ago
and asked his fellow workers the
whereabouts of his deer. They laughed
at him; the deer had gone back to ma
ture, they said.
Shine mounted the parapet Of the
dam and called for Billy. The deer.
now the proud possessor Of two
pronged horns, bounded out of the for
est. A photograph was taken Of the
man and the animal, as the latter rest
ed his forefeet on the shoulder of
Shine.

TO KEEP HENS COMFORTABLE
House Must Be Kept Dry, Well ven-
tiIated and Sufficient Space
for Scratching.

The poultry house is both the
home of the hen and the factory
where winter eggs are produced, and
unless it provides suitable living and
working conditions the hen cannot
be expected to lay well. The chief
requirement is that the house must
keep the birds comfortable. To be
comfortable the house must be dry,
well ventilated, well lighted and have
sufficient floor space to provide exer-
else by scratching. Dryness is in
sured by having a good roof, keep
ing the floor OF the house higher than
the surrounding ground, and by pro-
viding good ventilation. Ventilation
must supply plenty of fresh air with
out drafts. This is secured in the
poultry house by having the south
side relatively open and the other
three sides absolutely tight. The i'm
portance Of light in the poultry
house has not been properly empha-
sized in the past.

PLAN TO INCREASE POULTRY
Department of Agriculture Recon-"
mends Careful Selection OF
Breeding Stock.

The campaign that has been, inaugu
rated by the United States Department
of Agriculture to stimulate and IN
crease poultry production along more
efficient lines is divided into the fol-
lowing phases:
Careful selection OF breeding stock
to reproduce a larger percentage OF
good types of profitable producers.
EARLY Matching, so as to produce fall
and winter layers.
To confine mother hens TO brood
coops for at least two weeks after the
chicks are Matched.
To provide free range for both grow
ing stock and layers in so far as pos
sible to stimulate growth and produc-
ton and conserve food consumption.
To preserve eggs for winter use.
The production of infertile eggs as
soon as the breeding season is over.
Disposing of surplus cockerels as
broilers to conserve grain.
TO discourage the marketing OF all
profitable hens of the general purpose
class until the end Of their second
year, and of the Mediterranean or egg
class until the end of their third lay
ing year.
To encourage the careful selection
Of all hens in order to eliminate the
Improbable producers.
To discourage the marketing of all
profitable pullets as broilers and Of all
well-matured pullets for meat.
To encourage the caponizing of cock
erels only when free range can be
provided and a special nearby market
| afforded.
To encourage backyard poultry
keeping, especially among city and
suburban jewellers, thereby utilizing

FERTILE EGGS FOR MATCHING
Maximum Fertility Not Likely 80 Be
Obtained Before TWO Weeks
After Mating Fowls.

Matings should be made at least
two weeks before beginning to save
the eggs for Matching. If less time
is allowed, the maximum fertility is
not likely to be obtained. 1t is often
desirable to mate even further ahead
than two weeks so that few eggs
can be incubated for five or six days
to see whether they are fertile. If
these eggs are not fertile, there is
still time to change the male bird
and thus be sure of fertile eggs for
the earlier matches.

PULLETS MAKE BEST LAYERS
Feeding Stimulants or Highly Con.
centrated Food Is Most Injurious
f Practice

When pullets are forced to Law
early, by stimulants or highly con.
centrated food, 1t is an injury, as i.
taxes their vitality. A pullet that is
forced will lay very small eggs for a
while, and when she ceases, in order
to rest, she will not begin again as
soon as an ordinary hen. She be-
comes prematurely old, and, on the
average, does not prove as profitable
as when she is given time to mature
before beginning to lay.

"And please don't keep me waiting too
long,"
"WelI, Daddy" said Nick, Nancy
and 1 have been practicing a little
play. We made it up ourselves, and
we thought perhaps you might care
to see it tonight. We're all ready now
that is, we've learnt our parts and
we've our costumes near at hand!"
"a play!' said Daddy. ooh, that
is fine. What a surprised And to
think I have known nothing of it,
and yet you've been practicing for it
and learning the parts and making
them up and everything"
"Well,' said Nick, 1T wasn't bard
to keep you from hearing us practice,
and all of that, for we could do that
more easily when you were away than
at any other time. But it was hard
not to let you know word of WI
was going on.
"And if you like it,. Daddy" Nick
went on, 1--WE thought we might get
more children interested in it, and
then we might give it later on in the
holidays"
Lets have the play" said Daddy
''for can hardly wait to see it. And
it's a good idea about having it with
more actors and actresses ard making
a regular party out Of it, but just now
Daddy is most impatient to see it."
So Nick and Nancy ran out Of the
room, and after much whispering Nick
appeared before Daddy and said in a
loud and magnificent voice: Ladies
and Gentlemen, we wish to present TO
you our play called 'The Christmas

is Il three srts and the parts of all
actors and actresses are taken by Nick
and Nancy.
''The first act is called, why Santa
Claus made the first Children's Christ
mas The second act is called why
the Children Love Santa Claus And
the third act is called, Why Santa
Claus Loves the Children
Then Nick and Nancy began to act
out the play for Daddy. They had to
take many parts, such as when Nick
acted Santa Claus (Which Nancy in
sisted he should do all the time) she
had to be as many children as posi-
BILE, and Nick, too, acted the parts OF
some of the children.
In the first act Santa Claus was
seen taking walk. Wherever he
walked he saw children and wherev-
er he saw children he went up to them
and talked to them. The more he
talked to them the more he cared for
them, and finally he decided he would
give them a day all of their own, and
that as Christmas day was about the
incest day in the year, he would see
that it was the Chfldren's Own Day

best they could the parts of many
