The Pr

domen covered with dry, thick,
meaty skin.
The abdomen capacity of a good
layer is three fingers or more.
The spread of the pubic bones in
laying hen is at least two fingers
and are thin and pliable.
The pubic bones come nearer to-
gether and become stiff and heavy
when a hen stops laying for few
weeks.
The late molter is invariably a
heavy producer.
In breeds with yellow shanks and
beaks, heavy production always re-
duces this yellow color.
A hen with yellow beak and
shanks at any time from June to
August has undoubtedly been a
poor layer.
The yellow color returns in a
short time after egg production has
stopped, to the vent, eye ring, beak
and shank in the order named.
The color of the yellow beak fades
with production from the base to
the tip and returns in the same Or
der.
A sick hen may be completely
faded, but will not show the other
characters of a good layer.
Q There is no distinct body type
that can be relied upon to indicate
heavy production.
1t is the texture and quality of
comb and wattles and not size that
count.
The laying hen is usually in good
condition but has very little sur
plus fat under the skin of the abdo-
men, hence the pubic bones may be
easily felt and are thin and pliable.

PETERSON CABIN BURNS

A log cabin in the southeas cor ner of town, owned and occupied by Ben Peterson, employe of the A. E. C., was totally destroyed by fire early Saturday evening. Although the city fire department responded promptly, as did also many volun- teers, there was nothing that could be done to save the building, the fire having gotten such headway as to render futile any attempts at quenching 1t. Efforts were coneen- trated, however toward saving such things as were outside the cabin, and this resulted in the rescue of considerable grub, stove wood and a part of the building itself
 Peterson left the cabin about seven o'clock, to go to the bakery, and the fire in his stove appeared to be safe at that time. The alarm was turned in about an hour later

GREEN GETS APPOINTMENT
 AS DEPUTY FOR KOYUKUK

V. O. Green, well known resident of Nenana and an oldtimer in h. terior Alaska, has been appointed deputy U. S. marshal for the Koyu- kuk district. The appointment be- came known publicly yesterday, up- on the arrival from Fairbanks of Marshal Bert Stevens, who was in town between trains, enroute down the river on a tour of general in- spection of the stations along the Tanana and Yukon rivers.
 The marshal also has announced the transfer of Deputy Jack Woods from the Fairbanks office to Ruby, where he will relieve Deputy Tom Long. He is now enroute to his new station.
 Deputy Green will leave shortly for his headquarters at Wiseman, on the upper Koyulzuk river, where he will succeed Ed. HeppenstaI.

CLEGG SAYS ROAD IS SAFE;
 GOVERNMENT MUST RUN r

Federal Judge Cecil Hunter Clegg, of the Fourth judicial division, and Mrs. Clegg arrived in Nenana on the first overland train from the coast on Sunday and, after a brief stay here, boarded the connecting train which left for Fairbanks at two o'clock Sunday afternoon.
 A large crowd of friends and well wishers were on hand to greet the arrivals on their arrival and con- siderable time was occupied in the exchange of greetings, leaving Judge and Mrs. Clegg barely time to get lunch and catch the waiting train.
 Before leaving Healy for the trip to Fairbanks, Judge Clegg took his oath of office there, having been sworn in by Frank Wiseman, act ing under his authority as a notary public. This was done so that no time would be lost in taking up his duties on arrival at Fairbanks.
 Referring to the interview accord ed a representative of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and statements attributed to him anent the leasing of the Government railroad, Judge Clegg said that he mentioned the fact that Secretary Fall was not in favor of Government operation of the railroad and that this might mean that the road would be leased to private interests for operation later on. He offered no further com ments on this subject.
 Asked as to his private opinion regarding the road and its operation Judge Clegg told The News man that he did not think the Govern ment railroad was a sufficiently al- turing proposition to attract private enterprise and, therefore, he did not think there was any danger of the railroad being operated by private interests.
 Regarding conditions in the States, as compared with those existing in the Northland, what the jurist said was quite in keeping with the many other statements made by returning Northerners. Conditions all over the country are returning to normal, but slowly, and the lowering of prices of the necessities of life is not keep ing pace with the lowering of kages. There are a great many idle men and, in consequence, there is much distress and dissatisfaction among the workers and, to some extent, among professional men and men in other walks of life. The judge said decidedly that the average worker is much better off in Alaska than he would be anywhere in the States.

U. S., ENGLAND, FRANCE, JAPAN
 CONSIDER COMBINE FOR PEACE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. c. China won another important point in the Far Eastern discussions this week Great Britain, Japan and France agreed to retired from much of the leased territory in China. The offers, however, were said to be contingent upon the fulfllment of conditions which China is ex pected to meet.
 It is understood that Japan has agreed to surrender its leased terri torial holdings in Shantung and has also offered to discuss retirements from special territorial privileges in Manchuria.
 In the general discussion there is a feeling that the Anglo-Japanese alliance is being dealth with and that plan will soon appear to abandon that agreement and sub stitute some other form to which the United States will be a party, with the provision that Japan will not be involved in war without timely notice, of six months or a year.
 The committee on the Far East ern question has adjourned until tomorrow to give the subcommittee time to prepare their reports.
 The Chinese delegates express themselves as pleased with the pro- gress being made.

IRISH AGREEMENT REACHED
 AFTER ALL-NIGHT SESSION

LONDON, Dee. 6-After an all night conference, government min isters and Sim Fein delegates came to an agreement early this morning ard the details of the settlement ale now being arranged.
 It was authoritatively stated yes terday afternoon that the Irish ne gotiations had broken down and that the Sim Fein delegates were expect ed to leave for Ireland immediately. It was understood at that time that the government took the stand that the refusal of the Sim Fein to ac- cept allegiance to the king made an agreement impossible.
 England and Ireland awakened this morning from a troubled sleep over the Irish situation to learn the joyous news of the sensational and wholly unexpected agreement that had been reached during the night. Hl.ile the agreement must be sub rnitted for approval 70 both the Irish and British parliament5, there is 2 disposition in all quarters 10 regard the outlook as bright. The consent of Ulster is not required to make the agreement effective and that part of Ireland is given the privilege Of withdrawing at the end of q month and revc~ting to the presen. status, with territory to be decided by q boundary commission.
 The agreement was ratuied at a meeting of the British cabinet to- day and Premier Lloyd George was congratulated upon. the: success of the negotiations. -~-.:-: :@.-
