CANARY. TOURING ALASKA
 GUEST AT WRANGELL JAIL

Wrangell was visited last week by her first real hobo in many years. E. B. Canary of Indianapo- lis, 29 years of age and a fine spec linen physically, arrived from Ketch- ikan and proceeded to demonstrate how to live without labor.
 He was picked up by U. S. Deputy Marshal H. D, Campbell on a charge of vagrancy. A hearing was held before U. S. Commissioner Wm. G.. Thomas and he was fined $40 and costs. He is now serving out his fine in the federal jail very much against his will as he frequently states that he is mot ambitious to stay in jail"
 During the past eight years there has been but one other arrest for vagrancy in Wrangell. Proceedings were instituted against that of fender and he was deported as an undesirable alien.
 Canary is a genuine hobo. He reasons and talks that a life of vagrancy is the proper thing and considers it poor policy for the government to go to the expense of keeping him in jail when he is mot ambitious to stay there" He says if the authorities will let him alone he can bum his way, that if the first person he strikes for food or money refuses to divide his hard earned cash he keeps on asking others and claims that he all ways finds one person in every four approached, who will give him something.
 He protested his fine saying that he had friends in Petersburg and wanted to. go to them. Judge Thomas suggested that he notify these friends about his trouble and they would probably pay his fine, but the work-shy Canary quickly re- piled that they weren't that kind of friends; just some fellows that he had met on the boat. He does not deny that he left Prince Rupert by request, but is peevish about a report that he left Ketchikan like wise. claiming that he left of his own will and because he did not like it there. He is eager to get on with his tour of Alaska and finds his restraint in Wrangell very irksome

Juneau
 Buys Group Rich
 TakuRiver Claims

According to passengers from Ju- neau on board the steamer Princess Adelaide Tuesday evening, mining activities on the Taku river are in- creasing rapidly. One large mining deal has already taken place, when early this week the Bradley inter- ests, owners of the Alaska Juneau and Keno Hill mines in Alaska the Yukon, purchased what is known as the Vic Manville claims on the British Columbia side of the Taku river. It was stated the full price to be paid for the property will run close to the half million mark, with a liberal cash down. payment.
 The Manville property was owned by a group of Juneau business men, among whom were Chas. Goldstein, Isadore Goldstein, Robert Simpson, Minard Hall, Vic Manville and A. Hendrickson.
 It was stated the ore contains gold. silver, lead and copper and the outcropping is within 300 feet of the banks of the Taku. The Alaska Juneau interest will imme- diately place a force of men on the property and continue development throughout the winter if weather conditions permit.
 It was also learned that the Cali fornia interests who have a bond on what Is known as the Kirkham- Eaton properties, have about 50 men at work outside of the dia- mond drill work being done by the Lynch brothers. The excellent showing made by these. two pros- poets has started a small-sized stampede from Juneau into the up- per Taku river section and it is ex- pected that similar properties will be located on the American side of the International boundary.

LIFE COMES TO CLOSE FOR
 MARION MEREDITH MYERS

The sad news reached Wrangell last Tuesday that Marion Myers, elder son of MT. and Mrs. A. NJ Myers, had passed away at 11:45 that morning at the Portland Open Air Sanitorium where he had been patient for the past year. His mother and close friends were with him at the end.
 Marion Myers was a youth of whom Wrangell was proud to refer as one of her boys. Born in South Bend, Washington, on September 29, 1902, he came when a small boy with his parents to Wrangell where he grew to a clean young manhood.
 He was a member of the class of '21, the first class to be graduated from Wrangell High School. In 1925 he was graduated with hon. ors from Reed College, Portland, and for the next three years was a member of the faculty of the Kent, Oregon, schools.
 When he came home for the sum- mer vacation last year it was plain to be seen that he was a sick lad and accompanied by his mother he soon returned to the states where he entered a sanitorium near Port land.
 Details of the funeral services have not been received but it is presumed that he was laid to rest at Portland some time today.
 The stricken parents and brother who survive him have the sineerest sympathy of the community.

Gordon and Eaton Find Porcupine
 Area Promising
Alberta Men Investigating Porcu- pine Area Declare It Hardest Go. ing of Any District They Have Ever Prospeoted.

A. L. Gordon, who with his brother-in-law, R. B. Eaton, both of Alberta, Canada, left Wrangell three weeks ago to investigate the Porcupine area, arrived on the Hazel B No. ? Saturday to procure additional supplies.
 MT. Gordon who is an old time mining man of several producing Canadian camps, says that each mining district presents prospect ing problems peculiar to that region and that no two districts are ex- actly alike. He and MT. Eaton con- sider the Porcupine the hardest go- ing of any district they have ever investigated.
 They have established a camp 10 miles in from the mouth of the Porcupine, cutting trail through the timber and dropping down to the infrequent bars when possible. At intervals when making the trail in they crossed over old beaver meadows. On the trip out these meadows were flooded and they had to make their way through water. The beavers had been working on their dams through which the water had seeped while broken, but after the beavers had been at work the water damned up and added to the difficulties of the trail, They also had the experience of dicover- ing when coming out that they were following a grizzly bear, as fresh ten-inch foot prints were in evidence often enough to make the trail interesting.
 The Porcupine is promising terri tory, MT, Gordon says. but so far he and MT. Eaton have not located anything as they are waiting until they have worked up to higher levels.

eliminate some Of the loss that ne
sustains at present, due to poor
grade milk and cream" he said.
Two things are involved in pro-
ducing clean milk, the speaker
pointed out. The first consideration
Is the equipment. A strong. we'll
built barn should be provided with
a separate o for the handling
Of the milk. The utensils should lie
Of good quality and free from
cracks, seams or other flaws that
make them hard TO clean. An
adequate cooling system Is the tub
ular cooler with circulating water
or brine. or If this Is not available.
the producer will find the conical
cooler with ice water in the center

The best equipment available i
not q guarantee of clean milk If the
operator is not careful in his
methods" Mr.. Shepardson said.
The four important sources Of dirt
and contamination in milk to be
considered are The man. the GOV
the utensil and the barn and COR
rails. Negligence in regard to
Of these points may be the cause
OF sour cream and milk and failure
in the dairy business. Steriliza-
ton may be either by the use Of
some chemical diSinfectant in The
rinse water or by heat. A better
method is TO steam the utensils. In
cleaning utensils. dish rags should
not be used because Of the difficulty
Of keeping them clean and free
from odors. The brush and plenty
Of good dairy washing powder is
suggested as satisfactory method o.
cutting the film Of casein from the
utensils.
Milk should be cooled as soon as
possible to so degrees or lower and
If Ii must be set out on the roa1

feirly cool by placing 1t under a
