Alaskans Considering the Celebration of
a World's Fair in 1917 to be Held
in Fairbanks
According to Alaskan newspapers,
the people of the North are seriously
considering the celebration of the fif
tieth anniversary of the American occu
pation of Alaska by holding a World's
Fair in Fairbanks, in 1917. Commer
cial organizations are agitating the
proposal and encouraging promises of
support are being received from all
sources. Kenneth C. Kerr, industrial
agent of the Alaskan Steamship Com
pany, and the Copper River & North
western Railroad, announces that a
folder is now in preparation which will
be circulated to gain oublicity for the
movement. Fairbanks, the Golden
Heart City of the North, promises to
put up an ineresting show.
State Labor Commissioner Hubbard
is kept rather busy these days investi
gating reports of alleged violations of
the eight-hour law, which forbids a
longer working day on public jobs.
Such a complaint was made in Tacoma
recently, where the commissioner was
accused of conniving with the city au
thorities to violate the law. Mr. Hub
bard investigated and found that part
of the overtime was due to an emer
gency in the construction of a bridge.
He has been very active in the en
forcement of all labor laws, as soon as
his attention is drawn to any situation.
On Mr. Hubbard's request, the Taco
ma city commissioners agreed to abate
further infractions.
Auto stages are not common carriers
within the interpetation of the Public
Service Act, according to the Public
Service Commission. It bases its state
ment on an opinion of the attorney
general's office. The point was
brought up in a complaint of the
Bothell Transportation Company, which
operates a steamboat line on Lake
Washington, between Bothell and
Seattle against two competing auto
stage lines. The steamboat company
says the autos cut into its summer
business, asserting its belief that the
autos will abandon the route when win
ter sets in. The steamboat people
claimed that under present conditions
the business does not pay expenses,
notwithstanding they must maintain
their service.
Political Note*
Democrats and Republicans in Wash
ington will nominate their respective
tickets at the primaries to be held
Sept. 10. The Progressive will have
a preferential primary Sept. 7th, and
subsequently ratify the selections in a
convention. There is considerable
confusion in getting out the ballots,
as many who filed as republican can
didates have withdrawn, as the result
of the decision to put a third party
ticket in the field. The pre-election
contest, in many instances promises to
be a Kilkenny Kat affair because of the
rivalry.
The new Progressive party has de
veloped rivalry among aspiring stan
dard bearers as keen as was seen in
any of the old-line camps. Quite a
number of men are willing to go to
Congress from the first, or Seattle dis
trict, under the Bull Moose Standard.
Among them is Henry Alberts Mc-
Lean. He is a pioneer advocate of
the initiative and referendum, the re
call and the workmen's compensation
act. His "confession of faith" is un
equivocal on all points.
Lester P. Edge, of Spokane, who
wants the democratic nomination for
lieutenant-governor, is not inexpe
rienced in politics. His legislative
record commends him to promotion,
say his friends. Says Mr. Edge for
himself: "I am opposed to further
legislation, except it be to meet urgent
public necessity. We already have
many more laws than the people un
derstand or respect. lam in favor of,
and if in position to do so, will urge
simplicity and fewness of laws, ease
and quickness of administration."
John F. Dore of Seattle is going to
be a Progressive candidate for attorney
general. Dore was formerly a news
paper man, who has been practicing
law for some years. He believes that
there are many opportunities for im-
Che Icavcnwortb Ccbo.
proving the efficiency of the state's
legal department and has been mak
ing an aggressive campaign for the
nomination.
Believing that his administration as
state auditor entitles him to another
term, C. W. Clausen, of Port Or
chard, is a candidate for nomination
again. Despite the opposition he is
facing, Clausen's friends do not think
he will have much trouble in landing
the plum. His reports have shown a
steady improvement of the auditor's
office.
Although he has always been re
garded as a republican leader in state
politics, J. A. Falconer, of Snohomish,
has decided to forego further alle
giance to the G. O. P. and is making
his race for congressman-at-large, as
a Progressive. He is well known and
therefore picked by the politically wise
ones, as one of the two Bull Moose
victors for congressional nomination.
Orville Billings may prove a stum
bling block in the path of Governor
Hay, who is seeking renomination.
Long ago Mr. Billings came out as an
advocate of dyed-in-the-wool Repub
licanism. Since all of the Bull Moose
would-be-governors have withdrawn
from the Republican ranks, Billings
remains as Hay's only opponent. He
has challenged Hay to meet him in a
debate on republicanism. Some folks
are predicting a surprise. Billings lives
in Tacoma.
Hoquaim's commissioner of finance
wants the democratic nomination for
state treasurer. His name is William
B. Ogden and he has a host of sup
porters all through Southwest Wash
ington, where he has lived since 1889.
He has been a life long democrat and
always insists on a proper respect for
the Constitution and laws of the coun
try. His record as a public official
commends him to further preferment,
according to his advocates.
Supplementing Dried Up Pastures
In response to many inquiries Prof.
A. B. Nystrora, dairyman at the state
college, has prepared the following
statement: At this season of the year
a large number of pastures have al
ready dried up or will soon begin to
dry up. In order to keep up the
milk flow something to help the pas
tures along not £>n\y shows in the milk
pail, but lengthens the life.of the pas
ture.
Crops that may be used for this pur
pose are thousand headed kale, peas
and oats, vetch and oats, peas and bar
ley, alfalfa, corn and the clovers.
These may be used either as soiling
crops or as silage. Any of the root
crops may also be used to advantage,
if they are large enough for this pur
pose so early in the season.
The thoughtful dairyman prepared
for this shortage of pasture by sowing
these soiling crops last spring, at in
tervals of from three to four weeks, and
has them ready for the cows at this
time. But if these special soiling
crops were not sown, any green food
that will be relished by the animals is
valuable to keep their digestion in
good shape.
The summer silo is probably the
best solution of this problem of sum
mer feed, for it enables the dairyman
to harvest his crop at the proper time
and then feed it out when needed in
just as good a condition as when put
into the silo.
Concerning fodder corn for soiling
Prof. Henry says: "On farms lacking
summer silage, feeding corn forage in
the green stage should become gen
eral, for the reason that during the late
summer and early fall the pastures are
often scant and animals forced to sub
sist on them suffer from lack of suffi
cient food and cannot do their best.
An acre of ripened corn fed in early
fall to steers or dairy cows, which are
otherwise on poor food, may so ad
vance their condition as to return dou
ble the value it would yield were it
held over until winter and fed at a
time when there is often a plethora of
the same material."
Tin- Trial* ol a Traveler

E. E. Youngs, E. Berkshire, Vt., "and

King's New Life Pills, which I have
found an excellent remedy." For all
stomach, liver or kidney troubles they

BUSINESS SHOWS
MARKED REVIVAL
Manufacturers' Record Sees Most Cheer-
ful Condition for Some Years
The Manufacturers' Record says:
"That there is a.marked revival in !
business activity throughout the coun-;
try cannot be questioned. It is seen
one very hand. The production of iron
is on a record-making basis, with the
probability that this year's output will
be between 29,000,000 and 30,000,
--000 tons, or the largest in any calen
dar year in our history. The demand
for steel products is so great that the
steel plants of the country are crowded
to their capacity. The cotton goods
industry is in better shape than fcr
several years.
"After some years of depression and
unprofitable business the lumber in
dustry is picking up.
"The railroads are realizing that
traffic is growing faster than their fa
cilities. Here and there are signs of
shortage of cars, with a possibility of
congestion of traffic even before crops
begin to move freely. With a view
to meeting this situation and preparing
for the future, railroads are ordering
heavily of locomotives and cars, and
the indications are that the rolling
stock builders will have a larger vol
ume of business during the coming
12 months than they have had for four
or five years.
"At many points there is already a
shortage of labor, and the big manu
facturing centers are eagerly hunting
for more men.
"Back of all these conditions and a
sure foundation for greater activity is
the assurance of great crops. Indica
tions now point to the largest grain
yield the country has ever had, mak
ing certain that the grain-carrying
roads will be taxed to their utmost ca
pacity. Prospects indicate a fairly
good cotton crop, and if the yield be
not as much as the phenomenal crop
of last year, advancing prices will make
its value probably in excess of last
years's returns to the cotton growers.
"It is quite possible that the year's
farm products will be worth $9,000,
--000,000; indeed, one estimate has
been made placing the amount at
810,000,000,000 though that is
doubtless too high.
"Under such conditions, despite po
litical agitation, despite the dire pre
dictions of the ins and outs as to what
may happen to business if this or that
happens in the political game, 93,000,
--000 people, less the politicians, are at
work producing and consuming things
of more importance than the machina
tions of the political workers. We
would not underrate the importance of
wise economic policy in governmental
affairs; we would not underrate the
advantages or the disadvantages of this
or that party or this or that legislation,
but fundamentally the business inter
ests of the country are good and on a
sound basis."
The committee in charge of the
debates among the four-year accredited
high schools has selected as the ques
tion for the current year, the follow
ing: "Resolved, That the state should
continue the policy of constructing
state roads, with increasing appropria
tions therefore. The amount of printed
matter available on this subject is lim
ited. The state librarian is preparing
a biography of such material as deals
with the question of state aid. As
this is one of the livest questions be
fore the people, the State Highway
Commissioner will doubtless be glad
to furnish data, pro and con.
