The campaign has reached the point of eharsres and counter charges until it has overdone itself and people tienerally are discounting all tales that aro told on the eve of election. , The pot is boiling now, so lot her boil until the morn ing of tho great day when every American has the privi ledge of going to the polls and select his chVice for office. The New Lodge House The Independent Order of Odd Fellows has ever been a progressive institution, and the local lodge in l,a Grande has kept pace with the growth of the community. Its membership believes in owning real estate and in that they are to bo commended. : '., ' When the Odd Fellows' lodge purchased the building oc cupied by the Hub store it made a good investment. The wisdom of its course was so pluinly shown that the mem bers decided when the old Y. M. C. A. structure went on the market, it would be a fine thing to have the lodge own that building for a lodge home. Its purchase followed and now the Odd Fellows have started to remodel the interior for lodge and club room purposes. When completed it will be one of the very best ; lodge homes in the state and every Odd Fellow will be proud of it. Full' Pay for Pershing On General PiM.shinK's retirement from active service in the army, there were many who expressed the opinion that an exception should have been made in favor of Amer ica's military leader in the World war period from the rule requiring such retirement at tho a Re of (U. It was declared that General IVrshinjr, in view of his lonjt and distinguished service to the country, should be kept on the full pay of liis post as prenernl for life. There was talk that, if need be, a bill to this effect would be introduced in the next session of congress . A decision has been handed down by Comptroller Gen eral IMcCarl, confirming one by Major General llethel, jude j'dvocate general of tho army, that General Pershinjr,-by net of his appointment as general of the armies, is entitled to full pay for life. Who will be likely to raise technical objections to this? After all the words of gratitude that have boon expressed to Pershing' by his countrymen it must be a matter of satisfaction that a-way has been found to match them in n substantial manner.

As most people know.- stiver foos have hot n bred in captivity rr many years. In. 'nnuda, more especially on I'rineo Kdwaru'a Isl and, where (he Industry iud its beKhmhiK. At first the hiiMtncMH was condueti'd very quiet ly, and with muoh screcv hut when it wa di.scovcrc-d those engaged In It were beromlng wealthy, the pub lie became Interested, and now en thusianile brooders of silver foxi are found all through t'nnadn, unit In most of the northern statea. I Those who liave not lookod'lnto j the subject have no conception of the extent and Importance of the ( business. The northwest am) Alas I ku are Just waking up to u realiza tion of the wondorrul possibilities of the lncjustrv. in this section of Alaska almost every island is un der lease ami Is being slocked with b!ue foxes, whore they are allowed to run at large. Some start with as few as rive pair, and others start with a great ninuv more. The liltors vary, some reporting eight, ten or more. Tint even five. t very consorviiUyn av erage, makes It n highly proi'ttahlo business. They are hardy mid have' very little HickiiOHS. Feed them well and tliev am auro to Ihrive. Ha nche rs food rolled oats and other cereals, rooked, with which it re mixed cracklings, meat, fish, etc. Kvery rancher lum his own pot theories ns to feeding ami many' different methods seem to bring equal success. Some ranch ers feed aeai meat and bear meat, and other ranchers report their foxes do not relish these. Sea gulls help out, but in this section fish are one of tin principal feeds as t hoy are one of the products of the count ry. Kvory rancher smokes I housiinds of salmon ev ery year, and a smoke-house is a part of (he equipment of every rai:oh. Tluise who have pen i lock and keep cows, find that milk ts one of (he very fin-nl food', and I produces a splendid glossy pelt. Some keep gouts for thia purpose. .Many of the hdund rancnen build feed houses around the la- landr-. at intervals, tho lower part- j of which ulso Is arrungcr us ajc trap when such la desired, lint j( : tho food houses nro helntf ihscard- j od on some of the newer ranches. Hind the feed carried dlrctly to lin dens. This permits the parent foxes to remain lit I he don and protect the young foxes from en emies, the principal ones being eagles and other fox on. liut the island fox rnlfitnfr has reached Ms limits, as almost all the good Islands arc taken and evory on does not care for the Isola tion of living on an Island, and whore there are children It is nee ensary to be near schools. The ex pense, too, pf keeping a boat and the many hardship will over cur tail the output In this way. Hut the posslbllltleH of the In dustry n to pen bred stock Is simply llmlilesN. and 1 believe the time will come when u pen of foxes will he as general as n cow or poultry. Kvory fanner should keep n few foxes, either silvers or blues, and milk. ckv. and scraps of moat will provide splendid feed. Tho breeding of blue foxes n pens m Just beginning lo bo re garded as u success. Wo have been among the most successful tn this respect, and ours continue to breed every year. Home ranchers have taken pups from the Island., put them In pens for a few weeks, and then sell them as "pen raised." But pen raised are not pen bred, and there la a difference in tho degree of their contentment In confinement. If one wants to ralso foxes tn pens it surely Is bet ter to get pen born. We think the tox Industry a. splendid business fr almost every one. It appeals alike to the young man, full of energy and ambition, and affords ample scope for Uie exorcise of alt his business ability. Just us equally It appeals to the man more advanced in years, who no longer cares to face the keen competition and the stress jind strain of the business world. To (Mich a man It affords a quiet, dlg tnlficd occupation, adapted to hi advancing yours and declining strength, and affording him a sure competence. Hankers and professional men rind it a safe and puying invest ment. And If one has not the money to start In the .business, he can always find someone glad to make the Investment, but unable to give it personal attention. I asked Jr. Hucktugham. of the biological survey, at thu time of his recent visit to Alaska, his opin ion of the future of the Industry, anil his answer was ''sound ns a national bunk." I believe he la right. Yours very truly. -M HH. J. l AI.I-KX.
