Commend Kempton
Mine For Advances

Advances made recently toward
safer operation of The Davis Coal and
Coke Company's 1,200-ton-a-day No.
AZ mine are commended in a Federal
renspection released by the Bureau
of Mines which also proposes cor
rection of remaining hazards. The
mine is at Kempton, Garrett county,
and it employed 235 men when it was
revisited in May by Inspector f. f.
Riley.
Reporting that doubtful" roof had
been taken down along the No. l belt
empty track and along the main A
haulageway, Inspector Riley also
cited such additional recent better
ments as roof and face examinations
before and after blasting, rock-dusting
of the working places in the No.
belt conveyor section to within 80
feet of the faces, removal of materi-
ais obstructing the main A haulage-
way, several electrical safeguards and
provision of fire extinguishers at the
permanent underground pump station
To help supplement the generally
satisfactory safety practices at the
mine, the inspector recommended
placing of rock-dust applications
closer to specified working faces and
cleaning of coal-dust accumulatons
from roadways, prying down or eff
fective support Of weak roof along
the No. A 3 haulageway and near the
bottom on the main haulageway, and
firing of each shot OF series of shots
Immediately after charging during
on-shift blasting.
Riley also suggested equipment of
the No. ventilating fan with a pres
sure-recording gauge, frame ground
ing of certain electrical equipment,
and increased fire protection under
ground.

Over half of Garrett County, the
largest county in the state, is de-
veloped in farms-2,2G4 farms, ac-
cording to a recent census. And these
farms reap a cash harvest of almost
four million dollars annually. A few
contain 200 acres or more, $50 have
rs acres, but the majority possess
only 10 acres of cultivated land.
Most of CARROTS farmers favor
general farming, raising grains,
vegetables, a few cattle, hogs, or
sheep, but some have branched into
specialties. Dairy, beef raising, poul-
try are high on the list, however,
few unusual sources of farming
profits exist.
Turkey Raising
One of the newest additions to the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1948-07-08

are grown IN consecutive age groups,
reaching the proper market weight
of about Is pounds at different ir-
tervals And if they are not mar
keted, Mr.. Glotfelty has them put up
in l 1s pound cans at the Yoder Can
ming company.
"The birds are temperamental,"
Mr.. Glotfelty commented. They're
eternally trying to commit suicide
This is only one of the worries that
turkey raisers have to contend with,
the others being high susceptibility
to disease and quick death from the
slightest dampness.
Elwood Glotfelty is, of course, just
one of the many who has branched
into this division; his brothers, Ker-
nit and Orville, are also in the bust
ness. Kermit has 5000 gobblers
farmed out to four other farmers be-
sides himself, and Orville has 1000
distributed between two other coun-
tians. Marvin Bethel, another of the
same section, has a stable flock, as
do several others.
Maple Sirup Industry
One of the older supplements to
the county's farm income is the utili-
cation of sugar maple trees that
abound in the area.
In the early spring when warm
days and frosty nights occur, the sap
of naples is agitated and flows
from the tree in quantity when tap
ped. A run" might last only a day
or two, sometimes a week, and then
perhaps occur several times during
the change from cold to warm
weather. But whenever it happens,
the farmers know it, and take meas
ures to catch the water
One of the large sugar camps is
owned by Lawrence w. Brenneman,
on the Rock Lodge road, who pro-
duced about !, 400 gallons of sirup
this spring. He set out 1900 buckets
and collected enough sugar water to
make this the best year in the past
four. Almost fifty gallons of water
are necessary to make one gallon of
sirup, the water being evapOrated in
large watts on the Brenneman farm.
Other producers in the county III
clude William Bowser, Mrs. Silas
Beachy, Oliver Beachy, John Bethel,
John Horchler, and Guy Stanton, of
Grantsville.
The siIup is sold for the most part
for direct consumption by local users,
some is bought by the Natu-
raj Sugar Co., of New York, and also
by the Carry Maple Strip Co., of
Vermont. To these places the sirup
is shipped in 55 gallons drums.

poultry industry, ana one tnat has
shown the most rapid growth, is
turkey raising. Since 1910 it has
jumped 400 percent, until at the
present time there are about 10000
gobbers in the county. The center of
the industry is in the Bttinger-R Rock
Lodge section.
Mr.. Elwood Glotfelty, who owns a
220 farm bordering on the Rock
Lodge road, specialized in the turkey
business and, besides his regular
duties, has amassed a feathered
population of 10000. Instead Of
keeping them all on his farm, he has
distributed all but 1000 to fourteen
other farmers in the area. The birds

MILK HOUSE Al KENDLER'S DAIRY
 AFIRE LAST NIGHT

The milk house of the Joe kend- Ter dairy on the Glacier Highway caught fire last night about ll o'clock and the 2-9 alarm in Ju- neau was sounded calling members of the Volunteer Fire Department to the station.
 Volunteers from the Department with hose, piled into an Alaska laundry truck and sped to the scene. The volunteers were How ard Button, Bud Walker, Skll MacKinnon, Harry Sturrock, Che zenger and Howard Dilg.
 Out on the highway at the milk house, flames were noticed by CAA employees just going on the nigh' shift and they went into actiof immediately. Lee Smic;l, Jr., who lives nearby, rushed to the dairy farm and knowing where the hose was reeled, with the assistance ol the CAA boys, quickly had water on the flames. The fire was kept to the upper floor Of the milk house. Tine concrete floor of the milkhouse, second floor, kept the water from getting to the milk ma chinery beneath and no damage was done.
 Joe Render, proprietor of the dairy. was aroused from sleep ln his home soon after the fire start ed, and also engaged i'll fighting the flames. He believes a short circuit caused the fire. No one was in the room at the time. The room on the second floor is used mostly for storing cans and other dairy equipment
 Estimated damage has not been announced.
 The Renders wish to extend special praise to the CAA boys the volunteers from Juneau Fire Department, and others for their efficient aid.

JUNIOR CHAMBERS
 OF COMMERCE PASS
 STRIKE RESOLUTION

Four Junior Chambers of Com merce have agreed on a resolution regarding the Pacific Coast Mari time strike and have forwarded it to J. farnell Thomas, representative from Allendale, New Jersey.
 The resolution, self-explanatory, is as follows:
 'As an organizatlon of young men concerned with their future in the Territory of Alaska and with the future of the United States of America, the Alaska Junior Cham Der of Commerce wishes to call to your attention Alaska's serious proE- lens arising from the Pacific Coast maritime strike.
 "The Territory of Alaska, an out post of unparalleled strategic im- portance to the national defense. of the United States, is primarily de- pendent upon water transportation for it's supplies of food, clothing, building materials and other normal needs. Beyond considerations of na- tional defense and immediate wei fare, if Alaska is to grow and pres per, 1t must have a stable and con- tinuous shipping service uninter- rupted by frequent strikes and work stoppages, regardless of cause. Due to the maritime strike there is all ready evident the imminent failure of numerous new businesses under taken largely by young veterans seeking to establish themselves in the Territory. Unless settled inn mediately this strike will seriously impede the development of Aleska and severely handicap national de- fense activities in the Territory
 "As reported in the public press the important issue preventing im- mediate settlement of the present maritime strike is alleged commun- ist. dominated leadership within the Maritime Unions fostering pattern of strikes, slowdowns and work stop pages.
 The Alaska Junior Chamber oi Commerce is concerned only with the public welfare of the citizens of Alaska and of the United States and does not desire to advocate the eco homie interests of either employers or employees in their dispute. We believe however, that the govern ment of the United States has the obligation and we therefore request that the House of Representatives Committee for the Investigation ot American Activities immediately undertake an investigation to de- ternine whether or not MT. Harry Bridges, President of the Interna- tional Longshoremen's and Ware housemens Union is a communist in order that this charge may be con- firmed or eliminated as factor Ill preventing immediate settlement of the present strike of the Pacific Coast Maritime Unions. If Bridges is a communist we believe he should Le exposed as such. If he is not communist we believe the employers should withdraw this issue from the regulations.
 We feel that the urgency ot this matter should compel your atten- ton at the earliest possible moment and we respectfully urge yot/ inn mediate response to this request
 The Junior Chambers of Com merce passing the resolution are those in Juneau, Anchorage, Far banks and Nenana.
 The resolution is signed; Alaska Junior Chamber of Commerce, by Jim McMullen, Secretary.
