Reports were made by practically all
of the officers of the Grange. Report
of the secretary showed that there
had been quite loss of the Pomona
during the year, this undoubtedly be-
ing due to the general financial con-
dition. Treasurer's report showed that
there had been an increase in net in
come for the year, there being on hand
balance of $3.50 in the current fund
and $500 on time deposit. The chap
splendid reports.
Reports were also made by the sub
ordinate Oranges. Finley under the
leadership of Master Ayers had re-
ported new hall during the year
80 x 70 feet with full basement. The
building had been dedicated by Broth
er Goss early in the year. This Grange
had started out the year with a mem
bership of Sc in good standing and has

wicb Valley, under the leadership of
Master Campbell, reports slight drop
in membership in good standing but
several improvements to Grange Hall
have been made, painting both inside
and out. Kennewick Valley had shown
high attendance of members at all
meetings of the Pomona during the
year. Locust Grove, under the lead
ership of Master Ralph Stafford, re-
ported just slight drop in member
ship with improvements on the Grange
Hall having been taken care of. White
Bluffs Grange, under the leadership

now without missing regular meet
ing. They closed the year with an
increase of is in membership having
143 members in good standing at the
end of the year. They have been par
ticularly active on legislative matters
and in cooperative purchase of fuel for
the Changers. Sage Brush Wranglers
have been developed during the year.
This is a splendid way to keep young
people interested in things that are
very much worth while. The Master
stated that the Vale Grange liked to
visit and to be visited and we rather
imagine that this has had much to do
with the continued activity of this
Grange.
Practically all of the Oranges re-
ported were in good condition and ev-
cry Grange of the county was report
ed at this meeting.
There is hardly any question but
what Grange activities will increase
during the coming year because of the
splendid meeting at this annual. AS
we said before, interest was good and
the attendance at the annual meet
ing in the afternoon crowded the

Siamese Monarch Made
Country Modern State

Mongkut grandfather of the pres

country into modern state. 1t is
interesting to see what Mongkut's
first step was. 1t was to provide for
the education along western lines for
his son and successor (Chulalong-
korn, who reigned forty years.. Mrs.
LeonoWens, school mistress in
Singapore, was called to Bangkok

quaint but unmistakable English,
English education and not Chris

dren."
Later, other tutors continued the
work which Mrs. Leonowens had be-
gun. Chulalongkorn was only fif.
teen years old when he assembled the
throne, but as soon as he attained
his majority he decreed that all his
brothers, whether willing or not,
have an education. They might
choose an English one or Siamese
one, but educated they must be.
Later, members Of the royal fam

Camper of Experience
Talks About the "Eats"

Camp cooking is a nightly artistic
talent that can only be developed
through practice and experience,
says writer in Field and Stream.
This sage camper lists several rules
to follow in preparing the meal ex-
cellent in camp.
"Let one man do it. Don't take
turns. Don't hold conferences. Let
one man do it, and if he doesn't do 1t
right, hang him, quarter him, toss
him in the lake-but don't give him
any advice. An amateur cook is more
temperamental than an opera singer
of long press-agent experience. Med,
ding simply confuses him and
cramps whatever style he may have.
"Let the camper follow some
rules: Never bake biscuits if you
can carry bread. Camp biscuits are
not nearly SO good as ordinary bread
They merely sound better.
"Carry fresh potatoes. The same
goes for onions. Desiccated carrots
and corn and all sorts of soup stocks
are as good as the fresh kind. be
lieve they are better.
"Don't believe that a square of
chocolate is worth pound Of steak.
Or that a malted-milk tablet is worth
a peck of potatoes. Don't rely on
calories to keep you alive and hap
by. Food supplies based on calories
may keep you alive. They'll not
keep you happy. You aren't taking
your vacation merely to be kept
alive. On the second day out you
can sell big, juicy corned-beef sand.

13,OOO,OOO JOBLESS SEEN

Predicting 13,OO0,000 unem- ployed next winter, President William Green of the American Federation of Labor demanded that the federal government provide jobs.
 "This is the issue of the com ling election" Green declared From all present indications it looks as if next winter would be worse than anything we have yet experienced-unless We take the necessary constructive mea- sures. Hunger and despair are spreading unrest among masses Iof our people.
 "The only sources from which those nearly thirteen millions can look for jobs is the federal government. The government should take hold of the situation and set up the methods and the means for providing citizens with opportunities to earn bread, shelter and heat"
 More than 100000 men and women have been thrown out of work in industry since January, according to Green, and the rate of increase of unemployment is unprecedented" Union figures show a further increase in June.

REPORT RICH GOLD STRIKE ON RAILROAD
 NEAR CORDOVA

A gold strike, which if it proves up to be only half of it's Ipresent indications, would mean the development of a mine that would equal the Alaska-Juneau property, was reported at Cor dova by Emil Helekal, owner of the United Bakery, who grub istaked Fred Johansen, discover CT, and E. E. Smith, o-discover-
 CT.
 Samples of the ore from the prospect, which is on Goat Mountain, at Mile Forty-two On the Copper River Railway, On the other side of the mountain from the strike previously made jby Smith, were brought to Cor ldova and sent to Kennecott, to Fairbanks, to the Alaska-Juneau mine and to Seattle for assay ing. Assays made locally, how ever, show that the ore will run lat least three dollars ton, MT.
 Helekal said.
 The discovery, as described by MT. Helekal, was made through studying the geological forma- tions of the Mckinley lake coun- try and the previous find made Iby Smith. These indicated that
 the granite dyke and the gold bearing quartz should lie be-
 tween and prospecting was con- centrated on this area.

IMPROVEMENT IS NOTED
 IN FUR READERS

H. w. Terhune, executive off cer of the Alaska Game Commis- slon, reported after a territorial wide survey that the conditions in Alaska, so far as the amount Of game and fur-bearers is con- cerned, is encouraging this year
 Last years catch was probably decidedly under the previous year, he said, due for the most part to weather conditions, and ir part to the low price of furs This was reflected particularly in beaver where the catch was only eighty-percent of the pre- vious years.
 Conditions look very encour- aging for next year, however, as the birds are returning rapidly and rabbits are showing up in all parts of the territory, indi- eating that there will be a plentiful food supply for the furbearers. Whether the trap pers will benefit through an up- turn in price appears doubtful, MT. Terhune said, for though economic conditions are def- nitely on the upgrade they pro- bably will not return in time to raise the price of the furs great ly this year.
 An announcement concerning the season on migratory birds is expected to be made within the next ten or fifteen days, and in this respect there have been eff forts made to obtain the respon- sibility for setting the season, within the states or territory concerned. Whether or not this is done cannot be determined as yet.
 There have been no material changes affecting this district, MT. Terhune said, but the con- mission is endeavoring to follow a policy which will be beneficial to the residents of Alaska, sym pathetic with their needs, and at the same time preserve the source of supply.

STALWARTS AIM
 ATLA TOILETTE

The StalWarts are marching once more to drive the progress i've LaFollette from power in Wisconsin.
 It looks, according to political leaders on both sides, like a knock-down- -drag-out fight. In- come taxes have been doubled in order to pay for Governor Philip F. LaFollette's $6,5OO,OOO unemployment relief program ! and most people with big in- | comes are pretty sore.
 The Stalwarts, as the conser- vative regular Republicans are called in Wisconsin, will have a large campaign chest.
 Phil LaFollette, the idealistic but peppry and practical 35-year old son of "Old Bob," will be op- posed for renomination by form CT Governor Walter J. Kohler, the middle-aged millionaire manufacturer of bathroom fix lures.
 John B. Chapple, publisher from Ashland, who apparently has the blessing of the Hoover administration, is going hammer and tongs after the seat of U. s. Senator John J. Blaine, a leader in the LaFollette group. The struggle becomes some what suggestive of a struggle between rich and poor. LaFollet- te will have to depend on the low income and the no income groups to save him from defeat. His theory is that starvation must not be permitted, and that the incomes of the wealthy and well-to-do offer the only place to get the money to prevent 1t. He has even called off the county officials from sales of property for delinuuent taxes.

AND STILL THEY COME

After several years of backing and filling, passing the buck and throwing up smoke screens re- |specting the reindeer situation. it is announced by Secretary Wilbur of the Interior Depart ment that the reindeer question lis one of competition involving the beef interests of the States.
 Now we receive the announce ment that "unit managers" are being appointed on recommend |ation of Governor Parks and that they will be stationed in the reindeer country. The latest to be named to such office is a stranger to Alaska, of course, Len G. Briggs, from Iowa, and for several years employed by Armour & Company of Chicago.
 Thus we again witness the spectacle of the creation of ad- ditional sinecures for political favorites at time when the administration is shouting "e- conomy in the operation of government" and when Con- gress is working overtime to add new avenues for taxation on every item effecting our daily lives.
 Under the circumstances it appears to have been happy selection in naming an agent of the beef trust. And again, there appears to be but a short period left during which the present Congress and administration will be permitted to continue it's mistnanagement: therefore ae
