AMERICANS EATING LESS MEAT.


Figures and charts on the meat
industry of the United States show
ing that the consumption of meat is
decreasing are given in an exhibit.
entitled livestock Statistics" by
the United States Department Of
Agriculture at the International
Livestock Exposition at Chicago,
December to 8.
These statistics show that the
United States, while still among the
principal meat-eating nations of the
world, is undergoing general de-
cline both in per capita consumption
of meat and in the number Of food
animals in proportion to the popu-
lation. This situation is illustrated
strikingly by a chart of the trend
of human livestock population In
the United States from 1850 to
1922. Among live stock the num-
Der of swine is the most variable,
and sheep show the greatest general
decline. The relative positions Of
the curves in this chart at the pres
ent time indicate that the nation
will probably experience increasing
difficulty in supplying It's ever-in-
creasing population with sufilcient
meat products, and at the same time
providing a surplus Of these prod
ucts for export.
The principal meat-eating nations
of the world, in order OF per capita
consumption, are Argentina, AUS
tralia. and New Zealand, with the

BEGAN COLD RUSH
George W. Carmack Started
Stampede Into the KIondike.
White Men Had Mined There Before
Him, but Credit for the Great
"Discovery" ls His.

Gold dust. worth s135,O00.000 has
been taken from the creeks Of the
Klondike Although twenty-five years
have elapsed since the first discovery,
that event is recalled by the death
recently Of George w. Carmack, who
PANIED the first high-grade gravel
from Bonanza creek. The details OF
the discovery are related by writer
In the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal-Press of New York. Carmack was
fisherman with an Indian squaw,
and maintained small trading post
on the Youkon twenty miles above the
Crossing. He was not the first to find
gold in the valleys OF the KlondIke,
for Robert Henderson preceded him,
but he started the stampede that led
to the development of the Yukon terri
tory. At that time Carmack was fish
ing for salmon at the mouth of the
Klondilxe, where it joins the Yukon
and where Dawson now stands. Two
miles up the valley the Klondike Is
Joined by Bonanza creek. Carmack
happened to be short of fresh meat
SO he went with three Indians, one OF
them a brother-in-law, on a hunting
expedition At that time Bonanza
creek was known as likely place for
moose, therefore he went thither. He
knew that Henderson and three other
white men were mining on Gold Bot
rom, on the other side of the water
shed. SO he crossed the divide with
his Indian companions to see what the
others were doing and to sell them
some Of the fresh meat that he and
the Indians had obtained.
Henderson and his partners were
not getting much gold and Carmack
soon returned to the camp on Bonan-
ia creek. Having seen the mining
done by the four men on Gold Bottom
he was prompted to do a little pros
pect,ng himself and almost at the
first try found gold on the rim Of the
bedrock projecting above the water OF
Ronanza creek. This rich spot recog-
nized as "the discovery" proved later
to be only a patch twenty feet square.
Carmack recorded his claim and the
three claims located in the names OF
his friends, Skookum Jim. Indian Pete
and Tagish Charlie. A quiet rush"
began. David .Mackay, Daniel Nc
Gillivray and Harry Waugh were the
first to start. Each of them made a
fortune. The information did not
reach the outside" meaning the
states, until the best ground had been
staked: those who came to Dawson
with the stampede at the end Of 1897
and In the spring Of 1898 found that
they were too late. They had to buy
claims or work for wages. On July
IA. 1897, the steamer Excelsior
reached San Francisco with the It'd
ings of new Eldorado; In proof
thereof she brought half a million dol
lars in gold. This was the first OF
many treasure ships to enter the Col
den gate like Spanish galleons OF the
Olden days.

Telephone Service
Connection Charges

When you apply for telephone service, there
is necessary series Of forty or more different
items of work which the Company must do
before the service is ready for your use.
Orders must be written and distributed;
your name and associated information placed
on various department records; wire assign-
ments made; directory records established;
Information" records posted; wire installed
from cable terminal to the telephone; telephone
installed and service started. Thus our records
and plant facilities are arranged to make your
telephone a part of the general telephone
system.
When you request the discontinuance of
telephone service, there is necessary sim
liar series Of detailed changes nne opsra-
tions. In addition, some of the wiring must be
abandoned and the labor OF putting in and
taking oct the telephone is a loss. Orr records
and plant facilities must be again rearranged
so as to leave yossr telephone out of the general
telephone system.
These "ins" and "cuts" of the telephone
business-which we call "staticn movement
cost i'm the aggregate large sum of money
representing a substantial part of our expenses
One way Of meeting this cost is to make
our regular monthly rates for service high
enough to cover these expenses, thus placing It
upon all subscribers. This would be unfair
to those subscribers who require station
MOVEMENT over long period of time. They
would contribute toward the costs incurred by
those who require service for only short periods
or who demand that their equipment be moved
frequently from place to place. This, we be-
ieve, is not fair basis of charging for this
service.
The other way Of meeting these costs Is to
place them wholly or partly upon the particular
subscribers for whom this work is done, by
means of Service Connection Charge"
This is the method we follow. 1T is the gener-
ally accepted method and is considered fair
and reasonable to all concerned.
This is why we make Service Connection
Charge" for new installations, changes Of adj
dress and changes of subscriber.
