HERRING INDUSTRY
 SHOWS HUGE GAINS

Better methods of curing and pack ing Washington and Alaska herring devised through research work in the University of Washington College of Fisheries, has increased the out. put of the herring industry of the Northwest from $27,4G2 in 1912 to $3,600,0O0 in 1922.
 Until recent years, imported pickled herring usurped the market in this country, about 100000 be- ing brought in annually from foreign shores, according to Dean John N. Cobb of the Fisheries College. ' The war cut off imports. and the United States Bureau of Fisheries took up the work of educating North west packers on methods. At the end of two years the work of the bureau was taken over by the uni versdty.
 TO give an instance of what edu- cataon along this line has done." said Dean Cobb, 'in 1912 the old style pack in Alaska amounted to 3.S57 harrels of 200 pounds each, valued at $27,462.
 'In 1922, the pack in Alaska amounted to about 20O,0 barrels. valued at S3.600,OOO."

The more than one hundred bands of music that will he here are to be massed for after rocn concerts on the White Lot, i'm. medately south Of the White House.
 The Shrine is known as the play ground of the Masonic fraternity: but 1t fs much more than that Every one of s,s members gives two dollars year for the purpose of helping equip and maintain hospitals for crippled children, who are admitted to them without regard to race or creed. The annual fund available for hospital purposes, it is thus seen, is $1,200,o0G. The plan of the imperial council looks to the building Of hos. rftals in St. Louis, Montreal, San Francisco. Shreveport, La, Minneap- oils and St. Paul, Portland, Ore, and lat points not yet designated in New England. Virginia. Pennsylvania and the Rocky Mountain region.
 Several Of the hospitals are now in operation That at St. Louis has been conducting free clinic for eight months. with an average daily attendance of five patients. There are Al patients in the hospital, most |of them suffering from the effects Of infantile paralysis. The hospital building cost $200,OOO. which will be the average cost of similar buildings in oiher cities. The hospital in Shreveport is well under way, and the cornerstone has been laid for those at Minneapolis and St. Paul and San Francisco. / I

 Congress to Assist
 Congress Is now in the process Of making an appropriation of $50,000 for extra police service during the convention. A large number of spe- cial policemen will be on duty, and in addition there will be squads of detectives from all the great cities of the country as is the case at the Quadrennial conventions of the major political parties.
 The crowd will be larger than that which usually attends these national political conventions. and the task of taking care of it in city of the size of Washington presents many difficulties. In addition to the hotels and parking arrangements for hun dreds of Pullman cars, several thou. sand people will be housed on boats that will come from half q dozen or more cities on the Atlantic Coast. These boats will be moored in the Washington harbor.
 Vacant War Buildings
 Still in addition, the War Depart. ment Will be asked to turn over to the local Shrine committee number of large buildings erected here dur. ing the war and now uncccupied. This government aid will be supple monted by the use of thousands os army tents, for early June in Wash ington is warm enough for tae usa of tents for sleeping purposes with out discomfort.
 These facilities, plus the homes of the people, will be relied upon to house any crowd that may come. It is estimated that perhaps 200 1000 of those who attended the Shrine con vention in San Francisco last sum- mer were housed in private homes.
 The imperial council is composed of about 700 members. representing the 156 temples of North America as delegates. Its sessions will probably be held on the top floor of the New Willard Hotel.

Government Will Aid Prospec-
tors in Holding Claims.

The prospector or miner who has
located claims and is proceeding in
good faith will be fully protected by
the government. That is the substance
of a decision recently rendered by VIM.
Spry, commissioner of the general land
Office at Washington, according to word
received by John R. Towles, register
of the u. S. Land Office at Phoenix
yesterday.
Under the act of Dec. 20, 1916, COM
monty known as the stock raising
homestead law, it is possible to make
entry of mineral lands, the minerals
being reserved to the United States.
In some cases, homestead applicants
under the act have attempted to make
entry of lands embraced in valid min
eral locations. In order to protect the
miner and prospector a person who ap-
plies to make entry under the stock
raising act must not only waive his
right to mineral in the land, but must
swear that no part of the land is coV-
cred by recorded mineral claims that
are being worked
In one case now before the Phoenix
land office. homestead entryman is
being contested by the government on
the charge that at the time the appli-
caticn was filed part of the land en-
braced in the application was embraced
in duly recorded mining claims and that
assessment work was being done on
said mining claims.
The effect of Commissioner Spry's
decision is that the mining man is en-
titled to the land embraced in his To-
cation notice if he makes valid dis
covery. No one can take the surface
from him any more than they can take
his mineral. If there are any miners
or prospectors who are unable to stand
the expense of contest with the home
steader who has filed application subse-
quent to the mineral location. such
miner or prospector should lay his case
before the chief of the field division at

HIRES COUNSEL.
George Wentworth Engages
Lawyer to Hold his Job.

Attorney Spaulding Of the firm
of Chalmers, Stahl, Fennemore
& Longan has been employed by
Geo. G. Wentworth and filed his
answer on Friday. This immed-
late answer will bring the ques-
ton embodied in the attached
complaint to a head much sooner
than any other way.
1t naturally follows that this is
the most interesting subject for
gossip the town has had for a
long time. What kind of a de-
tense he will put up is conjecture,
but the fact that he has hired a
lawyer is evidence that he in
tends to hold his job, if possible.
This is the first intimation that
he ever denied the charges which
have been openly discussed for
months, and practically admitted
up to few weeks ago.

VIM. Fredricksen, who last summer
disposed of his stock here and has been
travelling most ever since, returned to
Wood last Friday evening and rather
surprised his numerous friends here.
Will has been travelling some since
he left here, first visiting the harvest
fields in Kansas, an going to Manitoba
and Saskatchewan, Canada. He says
they certainly have a bumper crop
in Canada this year, but that he has no
desire to move to the Dominion for a
permanent residence. He is here to
look after some business matters, and
expects to take another trip to Illinois
and other parts and will probably re-
turn to Mellette county next spring to
again take up farming. Will ls a
mighty good farmer and stockman,
but as he is a bachelor, he gets rather
lonesome sometimes and he just has to
get out and see the world once in a
while, but by next spring ne wlll be
ready to return to his farm and settle
down to hard work again.

If you were in Germany and wanted
to mail a letter to the United States
you would have to dig up just l5,O00,-
600 marks to pay the postage on the
letter-at least a letter from that
country arrived at the local post office
this week bearing three 100000 mark
postage stamps. Before the war the
mark was worth in our money about
23.8 cents and the postage on this let
ter would have represented a fortune
of more than three and one-half mil
lion dollars. Money is cheap in Ger
many, in fact it is so cheap that it
is practically worthless.
