IMPROVING CH1cHAMIN TRAIL

Work started this week on the improvement of tn banded Noun tain trail for which the Forest Serv- ice trail bureau recently authorized the expenditure of $500. The work is being done under the direction of ", w Metcalf, manager of op- erations on the Metcalf and Fendley group, who was delegated by the bureau to supervise the job. Four men are employed.
 Owing to the high cost of trans porting materials into the Banded Moutain section, not a great deal can be done with the sum approved by the bureau, according to MT. Metcalf.
 Everything taken in must be back-packed over the ice of Chicka- min Glacier, a slow and laborious operation. By way of illustration, MT. Metcalf said it recently cost SIS to pack in 6 boxes of powder 2 cans of gasoline and a few pota- toes, a total of 10 packs, and this did not include the cost of the com modities. es.-Hyder Herald

ALASKA FARMERS URGED TO GROW
 SEED POTATOES

One of Alaska's best agricultural bets is the growing of seed pota- toes for exportation to the Pacific Northwest, in the opinion of M. P. Snodgrass, head of the coloni- zation department of the Alaska Railroad, says the Fairbanks News Miner. A definite market exists and if Alaska farmers take advant- age of the opportunity they can build up very worth while busi- ness, said Mir. Snodgrass.
 While Outside last winter, he spent considerable time inyestigat- ing the seed potato situation and as the result of his work Dan Will lard, agricultural agent of the Great Northern Railroad, will come to the Territory this summer with a view of entering into contracts for seed potatoes for distribution to Great Northern growers.
 The seed potato situation Out side is serious" said Mr. Snod- grass, because of various diseases which have defied treatment. These diseases have caused great loss in seed production in numerous localities.
 "A test carried out at EIlens- burg of Matanuska grown seeds two years from certified seed gave a larger yield with a larger per eentage of first grade seed free from disease than certified seed from Idaho, Oregon and Washing ton.
 Certified seed commands al- most double the price of non-cer- tified seed with growers of the Northwest at this time and de- mand is stronger than ever for seed which is free from disease.
 The experimental station at Bozeman, Montana, is carrying out experiments under the tuber In- dex method of disease control which have proved 97 per cent efficient and this method will be inaugurated at the Matanuska sta tion the following winter and pos sibly at the Fairbanks station, with the idea in mind of entering into seed potato production for the Northwest states, which in turn supply the early growers of the south."

TROLLERs OPPOSE CLOSED
 SEASON ON KING SALMON

E. H. Fredriekson, viee-presi- dent of the Alaska Trollers as- sociation, and Peter Jensen, sec retary. state that the majority of trollers are opposed to the proposed plan to have closed season on king salmon from June l to June 25 instead of part of August and September. Both as- sert that there should be no closed season in the summer and declare that adverse weather conditions take care of the situation during the late fall, winter and early spring months. The trollers want to be able to fish some time during all of the summer months. They believe if conservation of the king salmon is needed the bureau of fisheries should establish closed areas.

GUESSWORK REMOVED
 BY ROASTING COFFEE
 IN SMALL QUANTITIES.
Patented Process Invented by Hills Bros. Insures Delicious,
 Uniform Flavor Always

When coffee is roasted in the ordi- nary way, which is in two or three hundred pound lots, it is a problem to get an even roast. Some of the berries may be overdone, some underdone. What is more, one batch may vary from another in color. All of these variations pre- vent a uniform flavor.
 Hills Bros. overcame this problem by inventing and patenting a roast ing method that automatically reg ulates the amount of coffee roasted and the degree of heat. By slow but continuous process, only a few pounds at time pass through the roasters. So exact is the control, that every berry is roasted evenly and gives a matchless, uniform flavor in every cup.
 No other coffee can taste like Hills Bros. Coffee because no other coffee is roasted the same way. The continuous process, Controlled Roasting, that means so much in flavor and strength is Hills Bros exclusively.
 When you buy Hills Bros. Coffee it is as fresh and rich in flavor and aroma as when it comes from the roasters. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is completely ex- cluded from the vacuum cans in which Hills Bros. Coffee is packed. Coffee packed in ordinary air-tight cans does not stay fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab-the trademark the can. Sold everywhere.

Boys Mother Falls in Faint
as Judge Reads Verdict;
Defendant Appears Dazed

VALPARAISO, Ind, March II
UN.S0 Virgil Kirkland, the
debonair Gary high school foot
ball hero found guilty Of the
murder Of his 18-year-old sweet
heart, Arlene braves, resigned
himself today to life impriSon-
ment at Michigan City State
Penitentiary.
The farmer jury which for
more than two weeks has heard
the details of the young peoples
d liquor orgy which resulted in the
braves girls murder, found Kirk
land guilty of murder in the
first degree last night.
Term Begins Monday
Kirkland's punishment was set
at life imprisonment, the term to
begin next Monday, when SEN
tence is formally pronounced.
The prosecution had demanded
death in the electric chair.
Only three hours Of delibera-
ton were required before the
Jurors reached their verdict. A
crowded courtroom, openly hos
tile to the jaunty defendant
throughout the trial, heard the
verdict returned at $40 p. m.
Kirkland'S> face wore a dazed
expression as the verdict was
read by Judge Grant Crumpacker.
An awesome silence hung over
the courtroom for several min
uteS after the verdict had been
pronounced.
The defendants mother, seated
directly behind him, fell in a
faint as Judge Crumpacker read
the words guilty Of murder in
the first degree"
Girls Father Present
Charles braves, father of the
dead girl, showed no visible
signs of emotion when the jury's
decision was announced. Seated
beside his three sons at the
prosecutors table, he stared
blankly ahead.
Judge Crmpacker, informed
by the jury foreman, A. E. Upp,
that an agreement had been
reached, hurried from his home
and convened court. A crowd
filed into the old courthouse as
Kirkland was led from his cell
in the county jail.
The young defendant Scrut1n'
lied the faces of the IL jurors
as they took their places in the
jury box, but their solemn de-
meanor gave him little hope of
an acquittal or a light sentence.
Judge Reads Verdict
The jury handed its written
verdict to a bailiff, who gave it
to the judge. The judge began
reading:
owe, the jury, find the de-
fendant, Virgil Kirkland, guilty
of the crime of murder in the
first degree and fix his punish
ment at life imprisonment"
