Seattle Letter

SEATTLE, Oct. 3O-The ffty-fifth | anniversary of the taking over of Alaska by the United States was fit tingly celebrated on Wednesday eve ming at the Chamber of Commerce, under the direction of the Alaska Department of the Chamber. The assembly rooms and Alaska depart ment rooms were filled with former Alaskans and friends of the Terri tory during the day and evening. Gov. Scott c. Bone wired: Alaska is no longer land of tomorrow, but land of today. Alaska Day is duly observed and fittingly celebrated throughout the Territory. The fifty fifth anniversary emphasizes again the farsighted statesmanship of Will liam H. Seward and the record of progress during the years demon strates anew the wisdom of the pur- chase of this vast domain from Russia. Each succeeding year will demonstrate all this more substan- tially and conclusively"
 Charles D. Garfield, director of the Alaska department of the Chamber, made an address, illustrated by large number of stereoptican slides. He deplored the practice of many in referring to Alaska as a land of snow, icicles and dog teams. Alas kans are hopeful, he said, that many of the restrictions that have ham, pered the development of Alaska will soon be removed.
 During the day scores of former Alaskans and northerners, now in the city, registered at the Alaska department, and viewed the elabor- ate Alaskan exhibits, which are at the service of visitors the year around.
 President Harding wired: "On the
 
 fifty-fifth anniversary of the trans fer of territorial functions to Alaska I extend greetings and heartiest con gratulations to the citizens of Alas ka and their Seattle friends. Alaska has richly justified the expectations of the statesmen who secured it for the United States, and the future, in my judgment, holds even brighter possibilities.
 Less than 12 days from Pittsburg was the time of a train of 38 cars of steel delivered to the Alaska Engineering Commission on Sunday for the Alaska railway. The La touche of the Alaska Steamship Company loaded an installment of the material and the steamship Skagway will follow with another cargo. The Latouche took in addi- tion two passenger coaches for the railway. The supplies and equipment will be landed at Anchorage.
 The Yukon gold output this year will total a million and quarter ounces, and the silver output from Mayo shipped to date is 75O,0OO ounces Plans for a $150,00O post office building at Cordoya have been received by local post office officials. The building will be three stories and will house all the gov ernment offices there.
 A Washington special says Associ- ate Forester F. A. sherman, who has just returned from Alaska, re- ports a gratifying improvement i'll business In the Territory. Exports of fish will be unusually heavy; mining is being revived and exports of lumber of high grade from the Tongass forests show promising beginning. By January the Govern ment railway will be in operation from Seward to Fairbanks, which will greatly benefit the interior ot the Territory. There is great ac- tivity in the herring industry.

THE WORLDS GREATEST BENEFACTORS.
Well-formed, registered bulls from proved
sires and advanced-regstry dams are usually fit
to head even high producing dairy herds. When
such bulls have proved sons and advanced-regis-
try daughters their value becomes exceedingly
great because of the certainty that they will
transmit to the offspring, in large measures, the
high reproducing qualities of the ancestors. So far
as possible only such bulls should be chosen to
head herds of selected high producing, registered
dairy cattle.
Every dairy herd should be carefully Sc
lected Every carefully selected herd should be
headed by good bull. good bull gets produc-
tive daughters. Such daughters greatly excel
their dams. The dams may be selected scrubs, the
daughters become productive grades, and the
granddaughters high grades of very large pro-

BY J. c. MCDOWELL, Dairy Husbandman, Dairy
Division, Bureau of Animal Husbandry,

There are several ways of improving dairy
herd. Elimination of low producers increases av-
erage production, decreases total production, and
usually increases net profit. Better feeding of
the COWS we now have increases average produc-
ton, increases total production and may increase
net profit. Use of better sires increases average
production, increases total production, and AL
WAYS INCREASES NET PROFIT.
All dairv-herd Improvement due to better
breeding tends to increase profit to the producer
and to decrease cost to the consumer 1t IS one OF
the ways by which the world may become richer

nal in it. Therefore, as see it, THE BREED
