hERE BIRDS FIND SANCTUARY
Area in Delta Of Yukon River, Value
less for Other Purposes, Is Now
Proftably Employed.

The most important. and by far the
largest in extent, of our national
"refuges" for the preservation of wild
birds is a vast area in the delta or
the Yukon river, proclaimed as such
by an edict from the White House
just ten years ago.
1t is an area approximately equal
TO Massachusetts, and the most valu-
able feather species concerned are
wild geese and wild ducks, which breed
there in countless numbers.
There is found the proper home OF
the emperor" goose, the white
fronted" goose, and many species OF
ducks which are sought as game in
other ATTITUDES.
The region is known as tundra
country"-devoid of trees, swampy,
with many lakes, and of no possible
usefulness for agriculture or any 9TH
err purpose. If, however, the wildfowl
are there safeguarded on their breed
ing grounds, it will be permanent
source of game and food supply for
Alaska and the entire Pacific coast.
In order that this may come to pass,
IT is necessary that the birds shall be
protected during the mating season
against the wholesale slaughter which
formerly was conducted by pot-hunt-
ers and alleged spOrtsmen from year
to year-a method commonly adopted
being to drive the helpless creatures
into pens built for the purpose, where
they were ruthlessly murdered.

May Be Bio Gold Field.

That free gold of untold quantities
would be found in the gravel of the
channel where once flowed the Rogue
river. has been the belief of Oregon
miners for more than half a century.
And so it happened that the owner
of the old Waldo mine near Grants
Pass the other day made the greatest
strike ever made in this section when
he turned gravel for the first time.
His holdings consist of 1920 acres
and it is believed that almost every
foot of them lie over the old river
bed and that nearly all of 1T is rich
in pay dirt.

WHY NOT END STRIKES?

Samuel GOmperS is in the main d
conservative labor leader. And yet, il
an address before a conference of edi
tors the other day. he made d statement
which only radicals will he disposed tC
accept without challenge. The state
ment was:
So long as man is man there will be
strikes
There was time and it is not so fal
back when famines and peStilenceF
were regarded az II part Of the ines
capable heritage Of man.
Plague and pestilence Of the over
Whelming proportions that once deci-
mated the old world have been banished
by science from the lives Of modern ma
tionS.
Against the strike. the modern off
shoot and counterpart Of war. the mind
and the heart of mankind are taking
an equally firm stand as the new epoch
of common interests and common eff
fort develops.
Just as the intelligence and the soul
Of man have conquered famine and pes
thence. so will they eliminate warfare
in its tw0-f0ld manifestation from the
life Of the world
When the era of justice comes in the
relations between the employers and
the employed. strikes will cease TO be.
And we know that that era of Justice
will come. New York Mail

1t must lie recognized as true that a
great deal of the present unrest in this
country arises from the desire for more
of the good things Of life. 1t is right
that those who labor with their hands
should have more of the desirable

Minnesota Tax Commissioner. J. G..
ArnSOn, declares that the only relief
for his state from the steadily burden
Of state aud county taxes lies in the
adoption Of an income tax similar to
WiScOnSin's. and that the industrial
growth of Minnesota is menaced by
high taxes .At meeting of tax as
SCISSORS in Minneapolis he cited figures
showing that the Minnesota tax rates
last year were the highest in the his
tory Of the state and are mounting at
Il pace threatening to retard prosperity.
Commissioner ArnSOn is quoted as say
ing that the average tax burden on each
81 900 OF taxable value last year was
S44 % and that this year it will be
$50 II. an increase of S11SS on the
thousand. It is apparent that the
adoption of an income tax would result
in placing more of the burden of sup
porting the state government on those
who can pay it without injury to the
commonwealth.

INCREASED VALUE OF
SWEET POTATO CROP
Now Ranks Second Among Vege-
tables in United States.
Former Unstable and Perishable Prod
uct Now Marketed With Practical
iy No Loss Because of I'M
proved Storage Houses.

03repared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
When it is considered that the value
of the sweet potato has increased more
than so per cent in the last ten years.
that it now ranks second in value
among the vegetables in the United
States. that the value of the 1917 crop
reached the huge sum of $90,OOO,0OO
and that of 1913 is estimated at almost
100000, it is not difficult to under
stand why so much interest is being
taken in this crop. The lowly potato,
so long accustomed to coming to mar
ket along with the farmers surplus
eggs and chickens and other such prod
ucts, is now moving in solid carloads
to the markets of the North, East and
West. Only few years ago sweet po-
tatOes spent their winters in crude
field, and under such storage cOndi-
tons many of them decayed; but now
they are stored in specially designed
and constructed storage houses in
which it is possible to regulate the
temperature and ventilation in such
way that this formerly unstable and
perishable product can be marketed
with practically no loss at any season
# the year.
