Walter Sinclair, A ttorkky - at -L a w , Washington, May 18.—Presi dent Taft today houored another newspaperman when he nominated Walter E. Clark, Washington cor respondent of the Seattle Post-In telligencer, a member of the New York Sun Bureau, to be Governor of Alaska. Mr. Clark has a reputation of being better informed upon Alas kan affairs than any man out side the territory and it is because of this knowledge and his demon strated ability that he was nomina ted. Of Interest to Farmers and Mechanics Farmers and machanics frequent ly meet with slight accidents and injuries which cause them much annoyance and loss of time. A cut or bruise may be cured in about one third the time usually required by applying Chamberlain’s Line- ment as soon as the injury is re ceived. This linetnent is also val uable for sprains, soreness o f the muscles and rheumatic pains. There is no danger o f blood poison ing resulting from an injury when Chamberlain’s Linemeut is applied before the parts become inflamed and swollen. For sale by R S prospectors and mill men.

Fair. “ More people will visit the Pa cific northwest tiiis year than in any previous five-year period,’’ says James A. Wood, Director of Ex ploitation of the Alaska-Y’ ukon- Pacific Exposition. My prediction is fully justified by the returns from our press (Tipping bureaus, the letters I receive and the reports from the transcontinental railroads and their connections. St. Paul and Minneapolis newspapers de clare that more than a million travelers destined for Puget Sound and the Pacific Northwest will pass through the Twin Cities. The probable extent of the movement is greatly increased by reports from all the other big cities of the United States. More publicity has been given the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition during the past five months any exposition held in this country since Chicago. Eastern railroad offices report a more gen eral inquiry than was made con cerning any other exposition. The movement is already on. It is es timated that fully 100,000 new people have come into Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia since March 15, largely drawn hither by the attractive homeseeker’s rates. But the move ment begins with the first day of the exposition rates. “ In all our work of exploitation we have put the Pacific Northwest to the front with the exposition as a greaf feature of a trip this year. Not one visitor in a hundred who comes to the exposition should be lacking in general information con cerning conditions and opportuni ties in this and the bordering states and the province to the north. This work has been most effectively advanced by the publicity and pas senger departments of the rail roads and I want to say that the Northwestern representatives of the various lines are the most active, energetic ann helpful bunch of men that ever got benind any sort of a project. The Exposition is complete and ready. Attention haB been drawn from every quarter of the globe. The visitors and homeseekers are coming by the tens and hundreds of thousands and it is up to the people of all parts of the Pacific Northwest to give them a welcome worth while.” --------------------- $ 1 .5 0 Y e a r breeding. The highlanders of the Cheviot hills are able to sell their breeding sheep at high prices as they have remained true to their love, the beautiful white native sheep of the highland pastures. The adopt- tion of this idea into actual practice would bring wealth and fame to many a farming community in America.—Rural Spirit. W h y the High C ost of Living? Why is the cost of living so high Portland, and is there no remedy. In a general way one knows why it is so high and going higher on staples that are brought from the outside, but why is the cost so high for those things that are produced at borne? Why it» it that prices which used to be thought very high for the midwinter season are now beginning to be realized in the midsummer season? Are there legitimate reasons why this should be so, or is there price manipulation here, such as is cur sing the whole country, producing profits that bear no reasonable re lation either to cost of production or cost of getting the product to the consumer? No more important subject could be discussed in the newspapers. The Telegram would like to get to the bottom of it. It would like to hear from anyone with information. It wants to start a discussion which will be productive of results, and if possible suggest a remedy that may ease the burden which all citizens are now carrying.— Portland Even ing Telegram. ¡ d T ill; HAWAIIAN BUILDING, A.-Y.-P. EXPOSITION, SEATTLE. The building erected at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition fo r -ha exclusive use of the Hawaiian Islands, occupies a prominent position o n the Court of Honor next the central government structure. Hawaiia has prepared a more extensive and comprehensive exhibit of its marvelous resources than for any other world's fair. It will show all of its native fruits and vegetables; will offer an aquarium of live fish, and in various other ways interest the fair visitors. Fruits will be served by native girls and native orchestras and singers will be always on hand. A tank in the center of the structure will show the Islands as they rest in tho Pacific Ocean. Upwards of $100,000 has been expended in assembling Hawaii's display. Sound -— _ — Ring Flour, M a y S a ve $ 2 3 ,0 0 0 for Bay.

To attain the best results, a local stock breeders’ association may be organ ized, including in its membership, if possible, all the farmers of the township or locality. Through the agency of this organization the farmers can purchase well bred sires. They can unite in the breeding of a single breed of the kind of stock best adapted to their local conditions. If dairying is the main business with them, they can select one of the leading dairy breeds. If sheep are kept, they can select one of the best mutton breeds. The benefits to be derived from community specialization in the breeding of single breeds of live stock are twofold. It enables the shipment to secure uniform car load lots of market stock, and the community soon secures a state or country wide reputation for the high quality of its breeding stock. The buyer of sheep will pay more for a carload of lambs all of one breed and uniform in size and other characteristics than he will give for a lot of lambs of indis criminate breeding. The pros pective buyer of Holstein-Friesian cattle living in California will travel thousands of miles across the continent to Syracuse, and pay the Central New York farmer fancy prices for his stock because nearly every dairyman around Syracuse keeps a herd of Holstein- Friesian.
