THE STATE PROPOSAL MEETINGS.

The Editor left Sunday for Pierre,
to attend the Republican State Pro-
posal meeting as one of the proposal
men from this county. We returned
home Wednesday night. The Repub
licans, Democrats and Non Partisans
each held their respective state pro
posal meetings at Pierre on Tuesday,
in accordance with the provisions OF
the Richards primary law.
Dick Richards was there making
medicine for a minority Republican
ticket, and in due course Of time there
will probably be filed full set OF
minority Republican candidates with
Dick Richards as the candidate for
governor.
We enjoyed the convention, and the
meeting of large number of public
officials and politicians from over the
state, but are personally more con.
vinced than ever that the Richards
Primary law, is one great big expen-
sive farce, and should be wiped of
the statute books. The proposal
meetings at Pierre this week cost the
tax payers of thesstate big sum of
money. The only way to get that
obnoxious law off the statute books is
for the voters themselves to initiate
law to repeal this law, and TO raise
in their might and vote for the repeal.
We are of the opinion that no legsla--
ture of this state will again attempt
to repeal the law, as this method OF
getting rid Of the measure has been
tried, but the people immediately 9
re enacted new Richards measure
for the mere fact that the repeal OF
law by the Legislature, that had been
enacted by popular vote of the peo-
/ pie OF the entire state did not set well
with the voters.
The Republicans, Democrats and
Non Partisans all put strong economy
planks in their platforms, and the
great cry from everywhere seemed tc
be for more stringent economy in the
administration of all public affairs
and reduction in taxes. Harmony
seemed to prevail in the deliberations
OF all three conventions.
The Republicans nominated the
following ticket: Congressman, Frs,
District, Z. A. Christophson; Con-
gresham, Second District, Royal G
Johnson; Congressman, Third Dist
rict, William Williamson; Governor
w. II. McMasters; Lieutenant Gov

THE MARKET MILK.

Market milk is that milk which is
consumed in the form of milk, chiefly
in cities and towns. Its importance has
not been fully appreciated by the pro-
ducers and consumers o1 this product.
Too little attention is given to its
cleanliness and to the health OF COWS.
The greater portion OF milk pur-
chased in homes is used as food tor
infants and young children. OF the
2.250000 infants in the United States
about two-thirds or 100000, are be-
ing raised wholly, or very largely, up
on the milk OF the COW rather than on
the mothers milk. The likelihood OF
death during the first year OF infants
so reared is also known to be about
nine times as great as those nourlshed
on their mothers milk.
1t has been demonstrated that where
milk can be secured clean, fresh and
from healthy COWS the mortality rate
drops TO about two to one, showing
conclusively that it is the condition OF
the milk which causes the trouble
rather than the fact that it is cows
milk 1t is evident, therefore, that the
proper production, care and use OF the
milk used as infant food is of vital
importance.
Government figures show that about
one-third OF the milk produced by over
twenty million dairy COWS in the Unit
ed States is sent to town to be used
as milk, cream or condensed milk, the
two thirds being made into
butter or cheese. This indicates that
about 20 per cent OF the total milk
flow finds its way to the consumer as
milk. Since most of this is used for
food for infants it is evident that this
milk is of more vital consequence than
the remaining 80 per cent which IS
being consumed by adults as cream,
butter or cheese.
Milk from unhealthy COWS is unde-
sirable as human food and should not
be used Excessive use OF green feeds
in late summer or early fall cause in
digestion in cows which in turn may
be reflected in a child consuming the
milk. Too much dry hay and fodder IN
winter may cause trouble also. Some
feeds such as corn silage made from
mature corn or roots should be fed in
winter to cows from which milk is
sold for infant feeding, since these
feeds tend strongly to keep COWS in
best physical condition.

Mountains, Plains and
Valleys Under Water

The mysterious disappearance in
Lake SUPERIOR during recent years, OF
many vessels, never afterward heard
of, has caused the engineers OF the
war department to make study OF
that sheet of water, with numerous
soundings, in order to locate submerg
ed and uncharted rocks.
Not very long ago the magnificent
steam yacht of William l.. Hardness,
a Standard Oil northumberland, ran
upon one of these rocks, a pinnacle"
rising to within FIVE feet of the sur
face, and sank, though all on board
were saved.
The water area of the five great
lakes, taken together, is equal to that
of the Mediterranean. Lake Superior,
the largest of them, is veritable
fresh-water sea, covering 81 200 square
miles, with 1900 miles of shore line
and a maximum depth of l,008 feet.
Strange though it may seem only
10000 years ago the Great Lakes did
mot exist A mighty river, an upper
extension of the St. Lawrence, flowed
from the neighborhood of Duluth
southeastward to what is now Lake
Ontario, thence pouring through the
present valley of the St. Lawrence to
the sea. Its north bank was the pres
ent highlands along the north shore
Iof Lake Huron, and its south bank
was high ridge which now runs Sub
merged) across Lake Huron in a
southeastery direction, rising 400 feet
above the general level of the bottom.
Since that early day all that region
has been slowly tilted toward the
southwest, the north end of Lake Mich
igan being uplifted and the south end
correspondingly depressed. AS result
OF this geologic change the greater St.
Lawrence ceased to flow, being unable
to reach Lake Ontario on account of
the altered level, and the waters thus
Iimpounded spread over the surround
ing country, forming the Great Lakes.
The water damned up in this way
sought the lowest levels in the land
scape, and the biggest hole became
/ Lake Superior Lake Erie is shallow
Iest-a flat plain not much below the
level OF the surrounding land, except
for d marked depression directly south
of the west end of Lake Ontario.
| If one could take a sponge the size
/ of the moon-soak up with it all the
water in the Great Lakes and squeeze
it out into the Atlantic ocean it would
be found that the floor of Lake Onta-
rio is a broad valley continuous with
the ST Lawrence valley, having a
breadth on the south side by precipi-
tous cliffs.
The floor Of Lake Huron would pre-
sent the appearance OF a plain, with
range of hills (already mentioned)
running across it from northwest to
southeast To the southwest of this
range is now the shallow part of the
lake; the deep part is northeast Of the
range.
1t would be found that the floor OF
Lake Michigan is divided into two
basins. separated by a high plateau
across the middle, the northern part
being considerably deeper than the
southern

$4,000 MUNITI0N
JOBS ARE IN DANGER
WORKERS IN GREAT PLANTS
OF THE GOVERNMENT MUST
SEEK OTHER PLACES.

WASHINGTON Fifty thousand
civilian munitions workers will find
themselves without jobs if the Novem-
Der conference on limitation OF anna
ments succeeds in stopping construc-
ton in the United States.
The American Federation OF Labor
is considering plans to effect their re-
employment in peaceful Industries.
This will be one Of the biggest prob
lens facing the labor advisory d1sarma-
ment committee when IT starts activ1-
ties here late this month.
Between 10000 and $4,000 men are
employed continually by the navy ord
nance department in making naval
guns and ammunition, manufacturing
torpedoes and filling shells.
The army ordnance department en-
ployes 6,164 civilians in making coast
and field artillery and ammunition and
accessories, as gun carriages and am
munition hampers.
But the government manufactures
only a small part OF its arms and am
munition. The great part OF this work
is done under contract by big private
corporations.
Most important among private arms
purveyors are the Bethlehem, Carne-
gle and Midvale Steel Corporations.
No accurate figures are available on
the number of men employed solely in
munition manufacture by these corpo-
rations, but estimates place it we'll over
$4,000.
The American Federation of Labor
pledged full support to President Har-
ding's conference. Now the munitions
workers are reproaching the fedora
ton.
SO the federation is trying to work
out a program that will conciliate the
munitions workers and at the same
time hold to labor's traditional stand
on disarmament.

 1OSTINULATE TOURIST TRAVEL

Col. James c. Steese. president of the Alaska road commission, hopes to stimulate tourist travel to Alaska this summer and has sent to var ious steamship companies and prom inent tourist agencies a circular let ter. of which the following is a copy:
 ..I desire to invite your attention to the splendid facilities that will be afforded tourists for summer travel through the interior of Alaska this year.
 This commission began work on q main military highway from Val deg. on the South coast, to Fair banks, in the great interior, in the fall of 1905. By 1913 this road. of S75 miles. was passable for light au- tomobiles. Due to the curtailed ap- propriations during the war this route suffered great deterioration. II has now been rehabilitated and during the summer of 1920 some three hundred tourists made the trip from Fairbanks to Chitina, on the Copper River railroad, S2O miles by automobile iE three days without any serious inconrience or discom- fort. There are comfortable road bouses at intervals along the route.
 This summer, 1921, the Valdez end of the road will be open and tourists may expect service through local operators from July 10th to September 18th, between Fairbanks and either Valdez or Chitina. The trip may be made in either direction but is most attractive going out from Fairbanks and this direction also connects il with down the iu- kon trip from Whitehorse or Daw- son.
 Tourists should be advised not to attempt to bring their automobiles but 10 use the facilities of the com

 CHURCH REOPENED

One of the very pleasant events in the Easter season of this yaer to the Roman Catholic constituency of skagway is tie reopeuiug of St. Marks Church.
 During tie winter months the congregation of St. Marks has been worshippiug tn the New Home Res taurant building, while their own church was being remodelled. The interior is now completed and pre- scnts a most pleasant and artistic appearance.
 The interior of the building has been raised and a beamed ceiling mt in. confessiouals bls been placed in the rear. and over these an organ and choir lott. New heavy mating runners have been placed in the isles the ppws restained and vanished, and most artistic and pleasing dec oration of the whole interior The color scheme is light shade of vel low for the panels with white enam- eI for the wood work. New electric indirect lighting throughout gives a soft full light and produces a most nIeasipg effect. Within the chancel T new soft brown heavy plush car ,o+ has beeu laid and at the rear of the chancel dressing rooms for inc priest. The congregation and Priest are to be congratulated on the completion of this task, and the alto gether pleasing effect which has been produced.
 The work on the outside has not vet been completed and it is plan ned to install furuice so soon as the work can be done.
 The first service in the remodelled building was held last night. and will be more than usually interest ing on account of all that has been lone The work has been under the direction of Mir. Mullenberg, and MT. Stanley did the decoration. The total cost of the work will be be- tween two and three thousond dol larts. But the church is now i'll very excellent condition.

try, which are especially adapted to the conditions met here. This mill tary highway is a graveled surface road, across two main mountain ran- ges through passes at an elevation of about three thousand feet, and is not a concrete boulevard.
 The following itinerary is sugges- ted for a fairly complete Alaskan summer tour. It can be made in about thirty days from Seattle back to Seattle. and the total necessary expense will be about $500. Last summer the rate by automobile be- tween Fairbanks and Chitina was $1OO.O0 per passenger in July and $75.OO in Aogust ana early Septem- Der. Rates at road houses are from $l.OO to $20O per meal and lodging $1.OO per night.
 Itinerary: Seattle or Vancouver by way of inside passage to Skag- way, White Pass railroad to White horse, river steamers to Dawson, Fort Gibbon and Nenana, govern ment railroad to head of steel in Healy canyon, returning and cOntin- uing on railroad to Fairbanks to Chitiua or Valdez. and then return ing to Seattle across the Gulf of Al aska and by the inside passage as before. Or. go west across Prince William Sound to Seward, govern meut railroad to head Of steel at Hurricane Gulch. returning on gov ernmeut railroad to Anchorage, thence to Seattle by ocean liner by way of Kodiak. Prince William Sound, and inside passage, as above.
 The scenery throughout is most magnificent and the weather gener- ally good. The trip from Fairbanks 10 Valdez is made ordinarily in four days. although I personally made it in tweuty-seven hours actual run ming time last summer.
