SAYS COW TESTING PROFITABLE


]. X. Conger, of Cowlitz County,
who was consignor of Jerseys to Col.
G. e. Payne's May community sale
held at Chehalis, considers, from the
price, received for his cattle, that he
has been well paid for his membership
in the Lewis County Cow Testing As
ISOLATION. In renting his testing as
ISOLATION dues he writes Glen Gleason,
the secretary, as follows:
Il am sending my check for last
months testing. You may say to the
members of the Cow Testing Associa-
ton that I feel that have been well
repaid for the money spent testing. /
sold seven heifers last Saturday that
had not freshened and three in fact
were not bred. feel satisfied that l
got enough extra for those seven heif-
ers to pay all that. I was out for the
three years testing. My COWS also
sold at very satisfactory prices"
Mr.. Conger has been member of
the testing association for the past
three years, so is in a position to
measure fully the benefits to be de-
rived from the work.

PORTLAND SEEKS SHIP
SERVICE TO ALASKA

Investigation made by the Portland
Chamber Of Commerce shows that
prospects for the success of combi-
nation freight and passenger steam
ship line from Portland and Alaska
are most encouraging according to
report issued this month. The report
claims that passenger tourist travel
would be brisk in view of the fact
that present lines from Puget Sound
are unable to provide accommodation
for all applicants for berths, and that
there will be large quantities of
freight available in both directions,
especially from Portland wholesalers
and jobbers. Two steamships appro-
pirate for both freight and passenger
service can be acquired, it is said.

REACH DECISION ON
USE OF PRISM LIGHTS

That prism sidelights only will be
required on boats operated on Puget
Sound was the decision reached this
month at conference Of the Steam
boat Inspection Service and Coast
Guard officials with representatives
of tugboat operators. The regular
glass masthead and range lights can
be used as under present practice.
When the Coast Guard stopped a
number of tugboats recently for show
ing only prism sidelights, w. T. listed,
secretary-treasurer of the Northwest
ern Towboat Owners Association,
asked for a conference so that the
Motorboat Act of 1910 covering the
situation could be definitely inter.
preted.
1t was estimated that it would cost
towboat owners nearly $4,000 to
equip their tugboats with additional
prism lights if this decision had not
been reached.

FROM THE EARTH'S
FOUR CORNERS

THE American appetite II an ex-
/ acting sovereign. It demands
rare delicacies from the four COR
ners Of the earth and accepts ne
excuses In the way Of insurmount-
able difficulties for not obtaining
the exotic foods which tickle it,
palate and satisfy ita epicureaA
tastes.
AS an illustration, enc of the
hundreds Of Ice cream companies
experimental recently with Ice
cream favored with bananas. This
was new. It was also palatable.
Tho demand for it increased 70
rapidly that 1t became necessary to
engage someone in the banana Inn
porting business to supply the thou
sands Of punches which were used
for this purpose. During one
month, 3,73S punches Of bananas
were made into ice cream navoring.
There are about 120 bananas to q
bunch.
There II another aspect Of this
business Of satisfying the American
appetite. Bananas are exported
chiefly from Central America and
the West Indies. To secure this
flavoring for one Of the dozens Of
fruit and nut Ice creams that are
manufactured. q healthy importing
business Is involved. The port Of
New Orleans II the chief banana
admitting port In the country. Last
year it admitted 100000 punches.
while New York. Philadelphia. Mo-
bile. Baltimore and Boston did their
share to supply this tropical fruit
to the country.
But the difficulties Of securing
this and other exotic fruits are not
good reasons why Americans can
net have banana Ice cream when
ever the idea strikes them. Surely
NO magnificent potentate was ever
catered to az are ths cadseus OF this
vast nation. ~.
