THE boats would come down river
lodging cakes of ice. If they got
stuck on a sand bar the ice would tear
the bottom out of their boat and they
were goners. The best thing to do
was to get into business with a big
cake and work around it until the
eddy got it close to shore and then
make a run for the beach. If they
were lucky and the current wasn't too
strong at that particular minute they
would land, otherwise they would go
around again.
81 put in a snubbing post at good
place and helped them get ashore.
That established my relations with
them and they would feel like talking
business with a man who had saved
them a lot of time and perhaps their
outfit.

famous rush of '9S when the news

been so for some time and the oppor-
tunity to get on his feet again was too
good to be missed. He raised a little
money here and little more there,
enough to pay boat fare to Skagway
and buy an outfit of grub and clothes.
That was about all.
When he got over the pass at Dyee
and up on the lake he had five whole

middle and far west. 1t was necessary
to build a boat at the lake to float the
grub stake down the river to Dawson,
the mecca of gold seekers on the
Yukon.
Pearson knew how to build boats.
His father had been a Yankee boat
builder in Vermont. 1t did not take
him long to find a couple of men as
anxious to get to Dawson as he-men
with money-who did not know any
more about boats than they knew
about digging gold and he traded in
his naval knowledge for their money
and together the three arrived at Daw-
son.
Once in Dawson Pearson found that
there was a thriving town with a GER
tain steady population busily engaged
in getting rich from the men who ar
rived about one hundred day and
left in equal numbers for the creeks.
Not being a miner and having no de-
sire to get "lay" and swing pick
and shovel on shares with some claim
owner if he could help it, he began to
look around for some means Of ex-
tracing toll from the men who were
going through.
After studying the situation for
three or four days he happened to run
into one of the large gamblers of the
district and found out that he wanted
a lock, any old kind of a lock. and
wanted it very much. Pearson start
ed out looking for locks.
After some searching and inquiry
he located a man who had lock, a
paddock. Would the man part with
it? He would. He looked Pearson
over for a minute and then decided on
the price-half an ounce-about $3.50
Would he trust Pearson with it on
approval? He though a minute and
decided he would.
The gambler paid Pearson $3.50 for
the paddock. Paddock Pearson" ia
nous from one of the gold diggings to
the other was in business. From that
time on he put in his days looking
around to find out what the town was

a dollar a pound-wet or dry-it was
all the same, a dollar a pound.
There was a big eddy above Daw
son where the men coming down river
with the ice tried to get ashore" said
Pearson, thinking over those early ex
periences. 81 decided to open W
Headquarters there. The sooner
could start operations the cheaper
could buy goods.

would have to spend another night in
the eddy and they were grateful, as
you can imagine. l mentioned pad
locks. o yes, he had a box Of them.
They were in the junk somewhere.
He would look for them the next day.
81 was in a quandary. If he waited
until next day he would find out that
the padlocks were worth $40 apiece.
So l asked him as a personal favor to
me to look them up. told him need
ed one badly for cabin and would he
mind looking for them. 1t took him
long time to paw over that big boat
load of goods, but he finally turned up
pasteboard box with seven padlocks
in it. He sold me one for $3.50 and
then turned and gave one to each OF
the other men in the party.
mo, he wouldn't sell me one of the
two he had left, not even if l did have
friend that needed it. So l waited
around and began talking to the other
men, one at time and working for
the stray locks. In the course Of a
couple of hours l got them all, but
the price ran up to $3.50 for the last
one. l think l paid about SIS for the
five locks, and they were worth 800
any time in Dawson.

Men began drifting into town with
claims to sell, or trade. l got to trad

that they all looked alike under the
snow and no one knew whether there

outside.
When l got back here on the Sound
the gold fever was pretty we'll gone
and miners who wanted to buy claims
in the Klondike district scarce. So
went over to London and sold out
there. couple of the claims turned
out first class, too"
And Pearson looked over his place
! on the east side of Lake Washington
and evidently decided that it had been
worth the hustle and privation OF the
tent life at sixty below zero on the
Klondike.

By Arthur Frank, Plant Pathologist,
Western Washington Experiment
Station.

Late blight Of potatoes is one Of the
most destructive diseases we have in
Western Washington. Each year there
is a considerable amount of the trou-
BILE prevalent. AS our summers are
mostly quite dry, the disease does not
appear until late in the season, usually
not until about digging time, or after
the fall fogs and rains have COM
menced. On account of this habit of
late appearance it frequently escapes
the attention OF the grower. Vigilant
attention to its presence and active
measures towards it's control will save
much loss from rotting each season.
The disease attacks the tops of the
plants first. 1t appears on the leaves
as purplish-black areas that appear
water-soaked. These spots may be
anywhere on the leaves or the stems.
Examination of the underside of the
affected areas will show a powdery
grayish mass of the spores or seeds of
the fungus. The disease does not ap-
pear unless the weather conditions are
cool and moist, and then it will start
and spread rapidly, killing entire fields
in a few days. The rotting plants
emit a characteristic odor. In weather
that is dry and warm the disease does
not appear, as it is unable to get a
start.
The disease causes its greatest DAM
age by getting on the tubers. Tubers
lying near the surface of the ground
become infected first. A slight brown
ish or purplish discoloration of the
skin appears first, which in damp or
wet soils spreads rapidly inward caus-
ing a wet rot decaying the tuber. I'm
der dry conditions tubers may not be-
come infected, or they may become in
fected but the fungus will not spread.
In infected tubers the fungus may con-
tinue to develop after the potatoes are
harvested, frequently causing them to
decay in storage where conditions are
warm and moist.
The cause of the late blight of pota-
toes is a fungus known as phytoph.
thora infestans DeBarry. The fungus
gains entrance to field in three weys

will load $1,000 boxes of apples for the
same ports. 1t is expected that the
export trade will affect the late win
ter price of apples.
Montana Copper This Way
The raise in freight prices is bring
ing Montana copper through Seattle
for water shipment to New York. The
rate from Anaconda to New York by
rail is s22 ton. The cost from Ana
conda to Seattle is S7.75 a ton and
from Seattle to New York by way of
the Panama canal is SIS ton, making
saving of 1925 a ton. 1t is expected
that the same raise will affect all Mon
tana and Idaho shipments and that
more and more will come to the coast
to increase the water shipments from
Sound ports.
Robert G. Kay, Philadelphia
lumberman, recently visited the coast
to look into the lumber situation and
reported that indications in the east

for next year. He said that he ex-
pected the underbuilt condition of the
country as regards homes to be over
come next year with the most active
building demand of the past decade.
He estimates that the nation is 1,000,-
900 homes short and that with the
price of building materials getting
where futures can be entered into with
safety relief must come for the crowd
ed condition.
Lumber Orders Short
Reports from 120 mills of the West
Coast Lumbermens Association show
ed heavy decrease in the amount of
business placed for the week ending
October 2.
The total new business for the week
was 46,933,577 feet, as compared with
new business taken the previous week
amounting to 72,190,322 feet. This is
an abrupt decrease in new orders of
35 per cent. Business originating in
competitive Eastern territory was al
most negligible.
Production was 66,673,3S2 feet or
1853 per cent below normal. Total
shipments were 51,477,4S2 feet or ap-

36,120,00O feet moved by
rail; 3,661,126 feet were local deliv-
cries; S,731, 0O1 feet were domestic

The unshipped balance in the rail
trade is 5,215 cars; domestic cargo

Late Blight of Potatoes;
Use Clean Seed and Spray

by planting a diseased tuber and the
fungus growing forth from that; by
growing from a diseased VOLUNTEER po-
Itato that has come up from diseased
crop of the previous season; or from
"a sport or seed being blown from an
adjacent diseased field.
When a diseased tuber is planted in
la field the fungus grows up through
the plant and produces seeds or spores
on the underside of an affected area
of leaf or on the stem. These are
distributed to other leaves and plants
by wind, insects, and moisture. The
disease can spread only in the pres
ence of much moisture. A spore COM
ing to rest on a leaf, if there is suf-
lfcient amount of moisture present,
starts to grow and penetrates to the
interior of the leaf, or it may first
split up into several smaller spores
each of which has the power of swim
ming about for short time before
coming to rest and entering the leaf.
branch is produced which grows
within the leaf and this branch divides
and produces mass of the fungus It's
tue This mass absorbs the food ma
terial from the leaf, thus killing it.
Other branches now grow to the out
side of the leaf and on their tips they
bear new spores which in turn become
distributed to other leaves and plants
and thus start new infections, provid-
ing there is an abundant supply of
moisture.
The tubers in the soil become in
fected by the spores being washed
down from diseased tops by rain or
dew or by their dropping onto damp
soil where they grow through the soil
to the tubers beneath. The fungus
penetrates the skin of the tubers and
causes a rot Of the tissues within if
the conditions are favorable for
growth. Tubers are also infected by
allowing them to come into contact
with diseased vines, or by carrying
them in sacks that have been in con-
tact with diseased tubers or vines, or
by allowing them to come into con-
tact with diseased tubers.
The best way to prevent the disease
is to plant clean seed. Do not use
ltubers for seed taken from field that
was diseased When cutting seed all
tubers with the characteristic rot
should be discarded.
