THE TOURIST

Alaska nas enjoyed the largest in fluX of tourists this season of proba- bly any year in the history of the Ter ritory and it has done much toward contributing to the prosperity of the business man and others in the far Northland The hotels, restaurants and fur dealers have benefited from the traffic in a direct way more than other classes of business, but entire communities have been helped either directly or indirectly by it. The busi- ness men of Alaska should make some organized effort to divert this travel to the Territory by every means at their command.
 Tourist resorts on the Outside spend huge sums to attract visitors and get big returns for their money. Fred C.. Miller of Miami, Florida, recent wis itor to Seattles tells the Seattle Chamber of Commerce of the efforts the southern Florida metropolis
 
 South and of the wonderful results at tained
 In 1898 the city of Miami, Florida, and the country in which it wa ssitu- ated was not worth anything at all The town was about TOO population, and had one or two stores and post office. Then came Flagler with his railroad to Key West. Later the Ho- tel Royal Palm was built by Flagler and associates and the tourist busi- ness started. Miami now has nearly 5O,000 population and will reach the 100000 mark within the next ten years. Ihe town and county spends S275,0O0 a year for advertising and get their moneys worth out of every cent.
 Of the total the City of Miami ap- propriates $175,000 and the county S10O,0O0 and the result is shown in the fact that Miami increased it's population 450 per cent in the ten years between 1910 and 1920.
 Alaska can make the season from June 1 to September 1 even more lu- crative than Miami and Florida have made their season, because there are more people travelling in the summer than in the winter.
 What Alaska needs is the same big tourist hotels found in Florida and the tourist will do the rest.-EXchange

ERNEST J. GROUSE KILLED

Ernest J. Grouse, 59, who was in- jured in an accident at the Atwood mine, on Goldstream, near Fairbanks, died Thursday last and was buried in the cemetery at Fairbanks. Grouse had his leg nearly severed by a rag ged cable in which he became entan- gled, and lost so much blood that he could not survive the shock of opera tion. Deceased had resided in the in terior for a number of years and had engaged in mining, contracting and blacksmithing. He was a Pioneer

The past few days have seen number of hall- but boats in port to escape the storm and they have spent considerable money here during their visit. Nego- tiations are under way by one of the largest companies on the coast, to en- ter Seward. In case this company To- cates here Seward will be the center of the halibut business.

Had the bridges and track gone out an hour or so later, there would have been no engine or cars here to be used in repairing the breaks from this end. It was a matter of bull luck instead ot good management that this happen ed and will be the means of having the road repaired in much quicker time than ordinarily. With the rainy season at hand it appears like the railroad would keep a worktrain and scraper on this end of the line to be used in emergencies. There is no doubt but that it would pay in the long run.

Cut Corn for Silage as
Lower Leaves Drop Off

Opinions differ as to the best time
to cut corn for silage. While the larg-
est yield Of food nutrients will be OBJ
tanned If the corn is permitted to ma
ture fairly well, it should not be too
ripe for the reason that it will not pack
so well in the silo and Is more likely
to mold. It may also be somewhat
indigestible if fully matured.
Andrew Boss, vice director Of the
Minnesota experiment station at Uni
versity farm says that as a safe work.
ing plan one should begin cutting corn
for silage when three or four of the
lower leaves dry up and drop off. Then
the corn will usually be in the milk
or hard dough stage and some of the
early ears will be glazed or dented.
Silage made under these conditions
will be at it's best for dairy cows.
But for beef cattle, says Professor
Boss, the corn should be left in the
fields until fully dented unless per-
chance severe drouth or hot spell
has dried out the corn prematurely.
Beef cattle feeders prefer better de-
veloped ears and greater maturity Of
the plant than do those who put up
ensilage for dairy COWS.

of a sensible tariff with the following
message:
"Gentlement, there is no question
as to the attitude of the people OF
Idaho on the tariff matter. 1t has
ceased to be a campaign issue with
the great majority of the citizens OF
this Commonwealth. It's very COM
mercial existence is bound up with
the tariff schedule. AS far as I can
ascertain there seems to be RittIe
argument against a protective tariff
except by small group of manufac-
turers who wish to buy cheaper raw
material and make much greater
profit. This group is found in the
east, not in the west.
Fortunes have been made, million

"KEEP ON ADVERTISING"

Here's a statement which applies to
every line of business and industry
though it was originally intended as
message to the public utilities IN
dustry alone 1t appeared in the last
issue of the Doherty News, publlca-
ton issued by Henry L. Doherty &
Co., one of the nations largest public
utility operating organizations. This
statement, headed, keep on Adver-
tising," reads:
eff a public utility, like gas or
electric light company, rs carrying all
the load it can, should it continue to
advertise? BY all means, but not
only to increase the demand for its
service but to keep the interest of the
public in the company alive. 1t can
not afford to allow people to forget
that the company is one of the city's
most important enterprises d
stands ready to do its part in it's up
building.
ITO increase business is one of the
essential purposes of advertising, but
it is but one essential to keep alive
the public interest in the store or the
concern is quite as valuable an end
and result of advertising as to In
crease public demand for the wares
and products.
There is no store or business
worth advertising at all but which
possesses many relative facts that
would be good news to tell the public
through advertising space in the
newspapers, whether more business
is desired or not To gain new bust
ness is one problem of the merchant
or manufacturer; to hold trade al
ready established is quite another
problem. Judicious advertising is the
thing that goes a long way towards
solving both"

Best Variety of Fowls
for Beginner to Raise

Perhaps the most frequent question
asked of the poultryman is this:
"What is the best variety of poultry
to raiser" 1t generally depends upon
the chicken man to whom you address
your question as to what the reply will
be. If he raises White Plymouth
Rocks himself he will quite naturally
be inclined to tell you that Plymouth
Rocks Of the white variety are the
best fowls to raise; If you happen to
ask the question of a Barred Plymouth
Rock fancier, then in all probability it
will be Barred Rocks that you must
raise to succeed, and should you ask
the question Of a Rhode Island Red
enthusiast, why then there is abso-
lutely nothing to it-Reds always were
and always will be the best breed.
And so it goes all along the line
White Wyandottes, White, Black and
Buff Orpingtons, White and Brown
Leghorns, Anconas, White and Black
Minorcas, Golden and Silver Campines
and even Blue Andalusians-yes these
and all the others unmentioned have
supporters somewhere who will tell
you that your success Is assured IL
you select the one best variety and
each will name different one.

asked for over production to feed and
clothe the heroic boys at the front
and the very world itself. That con-
dition must never be possible again,
gentlemen, or the very spectre Of An
archy will reel across our fair land.
"The principle of protective tariff
is necessary not only to Idaho but to
the nation at large. 1t is the only
remedy for the commercial conditions
which followed the great war. Again
1 say that the very existence Of the
country depends upon guaranteeing
the producer of food and clothing a.
just compensation for his labor and
his sacrifice. THIS is FUNDAMEN-
tai and the protective tariff is the
means to this end Without satisfied
producers the nation cannot exist.
Commissioner Means will present
the figures which impress the impera-
tive need of protective tariff for the
state of Idaho. From my own expert
ence 1 have made contact with tariff
on wheat, cattle, sheep and sugar and
as a producer of these items I can
speak with first-hand information.
Idaho agricultural products demand
a sensible tariff I trust that you can
perfect such an organization that the
tariff may not be endangered"

Seed Cheapest Way to
Increase Corn Yields
Best Place to Make Selec-
ton Is From Farm Yields.

| prepared by the United States Department
| of Agricuiture.)
| Corn yields can be increased more
surely and cheaply by the use Of good
seed than In any other way, says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. Unless a community has an ex-
perienced and honest corn breeder, the
best place for the farmer to get seed
corn is from the fields on his farm or
in his neighborhood which were plant
ed with variety that has proved sue
cessful in the locality. The time for
selecting seed corn In the field Is al
most here and preparations for ham
ding the seed should soon be under
way.
In selecting corn for seed, the ears
should be taken from stalks which
yield best In competition with Others
Picking the seed corn direct from the
field will give the farmer a chance
to do this, and also to get ears that
are free from disease and hang at
height convenient for husking. Droop-
ing ears which shed rain readily usual
ly will give the best seed, while in the
South it is necessary to choose ears
that are well protected from insects
by long, tight husk covering
The same day the seed is gathered
it should be hung in dry, airy place.
One of the best ways to cure seed corn
Is to hang it from the rafters of
barn or open shed, care being taken
to see that it is thoroughly dry be-
fore there is danger of freezing.
After it is well cured, store the corn
in dry place where it will not be
damaged by mice, rats, birds and in
sects. The corn that produces the best
crop is cheapest in the long run and
care in selecting and handling seed
corn will be more than repaid by in
creased yields.

C0WMEN TO MEET
Ninth Annual Convention Of State
Association to be Held Oc-
tOber IS nd 10
TO BRING BUYER AND
PRODUCER TOGETHER
Have Many Problems Of Concern to
Consider, Such as Proposed Reduc-
tiOn in Tariff, Financing, Marketing,
Cattle Stealing, Freight Rates, Etc.

The ninth annual convention of the
Idaho State Cattle and Horse Grow
ers' Association will be held in Poca-
tello on the eighteenth and nineteenth
of October. The association was or
ganized in that city nine years ago
this fall and this will be the second
gathering in Pocatello of the officers
and members of this association,
which represents one of the largest
industries in the state.
The association is composed OF a
president, first vice president, second
vice president, secretary-treasurer, an
advisory committee Of nine, t he state
being divided into nine districts, and
a county chairman in thirty-three
counties of the state. George F. Mes
bitt of Payette is president; T. H.
McDermott, of Meridian, first vice
president; J. e. Edgerton, of Poca-
tello, second vice president, and Les
Dillingham;, of Mackay, secretary
treasurer.
1t is planned to have prominent
producers the state and the west
commission men, representatives Of
the packer, forest officials, railroad
representatives, and others. Sub
iects for discussion will be the
threatened reduction of the tariff on
Canadian cattle, hides and meats, the
wide difference paid the producer for
steers and COWS, more orderly mar
keting, the difference in price of meat
to the producer and the price the con-
sumner pays, better financing, freight
rates, forest reserve range policies as
provided in the new use book now
being compiled, cattle stealing, legis-
Iative matters, and kindred subjects.
The officers set the dates with the
purpose of getting the cattle men to-
gether Immediately after the fall
roundup, with a view of having n
large number Of buyers present be-
fore the bulk of the years turn-of
goes to market. In setting the dates
the officers had in view, also, the
possibility of the cattlemen making
the trip to the convention city in their
cars, and the county chairmen of the
association are now promoting auto
mobile parties to make the trip. The
idea of getting the producers and the
buyers together has worked out well
in other states and it is predicted that
the results in Idaho this fall will be
greatly to the advantage Of the grow
ers and become fixed policy.
The county chairmen, together with |
the district advisors, are as follows:

UNION PACIFIC POLICIES

President Gray of the Union Paci-
| fic, through advertisements in the
press of Idaho, has given the public
valuable information as to the pro-
gram and policies of the system he
heads. That is abou, the first time
the public has been taken so candidly
into the confidence of any great trans
portation system ana It goes without
saying that the public appreciates it
for the public, after all, is a part
ner in the enterprise.
The information impaired by Pres
ident Gray again italicizes the de-
parture of all corporations from the
public be damned" attitude of DID,
But the Union Pacific is not only
giving information, through it presi-
dent, but, also through him, encour-
agement to our industries and posi-
tive help. Construction begun this
year in Idaho alone and which will
continue throughout 1924 will aid ma
terially in restoring normal cond1-
lions in our state. The Rogerson-
Wells line, to be built next year, and
the main line into Boise, on which
work has been started, will result in
the expenditure of millions in our
state and in continuing benefits to
large territory. The opening of Ida
no products to southern markets via
Wells, New, is one of the most i'm
portant developments for the state in
years.
For these and other reasons Presi-
dent Gray will go down in our indus
trial history as one of the most far
seeing, fair minded, public spirited
rail executives of this country.
