FUR INDUSTRY
 IN JUNEAU IS
 GAINING SIzE: E:
Eighteen Highway Farms Form One of Leading
 Business Here

With stock to the vaiue e $56 ,480 and buildings and improvements totalling $85, 400. the sum of $751; $50 represents the total investment in the IS fur farms on local high ways, according to figures com piled this week by the U. s. Forest Service office in Juneau.
 Of the IS farms, one was started before the road was constructed, seven between that time and 9126, one in 1926, two in 1927, five in 1928 and two in 1929, the statis- tics reveal. All but four of the farms are in Mendenhall Valley.
 This single industry is but one of the many factors which have brought the total improvements along Juneau roads, to the value of $2, ,203,635. The figures quoted in- clude all of Glacier Highway, the Thane road from south of the Alaska Juneau tramway, to Thane, and the Basin Road.
 One of the largest items making up this total is the break-water made from the Alaska Juneau tailings. The sum of s5oo0oo is the value attached to this by the Forest Service survey. This amount

SYNOPSIS: The happiness Anne WiinOt sought when she followed the dictates of her heart and married Scott Glenn, is short lived. Her aunt, Emily Wilmot, vainly importunes her to desert the young engineer for Leon Morse. In her visit to her niece's mountain cabin, Mrs. Wilmot learns of Glenn's geld strike through 8 letter. Glenn returns to his cabin at dusk after turning the water into reservoir signifying com pIcsio-l of his cherished irTiga- tion project. He discovers note from Mrs. Wilmot to Anne and concludes Anne plans to desert him for Morse. He be- rates Anne who is dumbfound- cd by his vehemence. Without seeking an explanation Glenn stamps out of the cabin, telling Anne not to be there when he returns.

 T used to have to lose a lot of sleep when was in the army, es- pecially when we were chasing bad Indians. I spent 13 months in Confederate prisons too and lost a good deal of sleep bus lately I've been pretty regular about getting my rest. I think that's the whole secret-if there is a secret" Gen. Gordon had brilliant ca reer as a soldier, having entered the service when he was 29 years old appointed from Kansas to q commission as second lieutenant of the Second Dragons. Within two months he was promoted to a first lieutenant of the Second Cav airy. He saw active service in the Civil War, being breveted for gall lant and neritorious services in the Gettysburg campaign.

 As a member of the Army of the Potomac he was in action. at the first battle of Bull Run and later participated in the battles at Man assas Gap, Todds Tavern, Cold Harbor Hawes Shop, Trevillian Sta tion and elsewhere. He was talk cn prisoner by the Confederate Army and confined to Libby Pris- On, Richmond; Castle Pinckney Charleston, and Columbia, s.

SHEB CAPITULATES

When Delphine came into tht room some five minutes later, Ann' was still standing just as Glenr had left her, hands spread out fla against the table behind her.
 Anne stirred and looked doWr at her with returning animation She sank inertly on to chair ane tried to make the girl understand that Glenn had not been able tc wait and that she herself wanted no dinner.
 When the kitchen door had closed on her at last, Anne dropped on her knees and spread out the crumpled ball of paper on the floor. The writing was undoubtedly in her aunt's round, neatly formed characters:
 Dear Anne,
 Everything has worked out exactly as we planned. Under the circumstances a divorce can easily be arranged-with very substantial settlement. since we have positive proof about the gold These mountaineers are. simple creatures-perhaps he will give you all of it if you are tactfull
 "As to Leon, the dilatory, l think you haven't done so bad ly in giving him a fright Per haps-but we can discuss all that later.
 "Your aunt,
 "E. Wilmot." It was all clear enough, except about the gold Could that by any chance have been what Glenr meant about the blue print-the postscript to her aunt?
 Still he ought not to have doubt ed her; he ought to have known And she had not had even chance to defend herself; her nerves had played her that stupid trick. She pulled herself up wearily There was one definite idea in her mind --she must not be here when Glenn returned
 At nightfall she stood standing with her brow pressed to the win dow pane, staring out at the moun- tain under whose shadow the cabin lay.
 She had no idea how much later it was that shadow, denser, nov ing more swiftly than the other night shadows, crossed the spot on which her eyes were fastened crossed and disappeared. Another shadow followed in its wake, an- other and another. Anne moved vaguely, som dim recollection stirring in her mind They were going into the tunnel.
 A figure much taller and bulkier than the rest loomed suddenly among the shadows. It was the giant she had seen at the dance Burkhalter.
 Anne turned quickly, caught up her sweater from where Glenn had flung it on the couch, and ran out into the fast gathering darkness There was not a moment to lose. Thirty minutes later, Glenn, Sheh and the foremen, from behind their rock barricades and piles of ce- ment bags, heard a rustling in the

During the past five years I'M
proved production has taken place
in the dairy industry of the valley
as shown by the annual report or
the Imperial County Farm Bureau
Cow Testing association for the
year ending November 30, 1929.
From the records of the past five
years an index of increased produc-
ton can be obtained. In 1924, from
an average herd of 2S cows, the av-
eragc for pounds of butterfat per
COW was 1898 while for 1929, from
an average herd of 80 cows, the
average for pounds of butterfat per
COW was 1924 pounds. Not only
have herds increased in size, but the
average butter fat production per
COW was increased $50 pounds.
These figures are taken from the
annual report recently issued and
the following statistics of interest
are from the same source.
Number of herds in which tests
were made during the year, 110.
Total number of samples tested
during the year, 26,352.
Total number of COWS culled out

MI CUWS WHVSt HdTIIVS appear III
this report have had their annual
production figured on the basis Of
305 days or less. This is done be-
cause we believe that it is desirable
to have each cow in the dairy herd
calve once year. Under these con
ditions each cow should be produc
ing for 10 months and have rest
period Of two months. We believe
that it would be unfair to compare
the 10 months production of one COW
with the Il months production of
another Gow. We have therefore
figured the production of all cows
on the 10 months basis.
