Harriman Bank Building
dam at Boulder Canyon on the Colo
rado River Canal, is expected to re
ceive early action.
President Coolidge has expressed
his approval of the principle of
government supervision of the work
of harnessing the Colorado River,
and although he has not endorsed
the bill by name, it is understood
legislation along that line would be
acceptable to the White House.
Hearings on the bill were held
before the adjournment last spring,
The committee, however, probably
| will require some time to discuss its
proposals in executive session be
fore coming to a vote.
Hundred Ton Quartz
Mill At Mayo Mines
DAWSON, Dec. 2G.—A one hun
dred ton capacity quartz mill, for the
farthest-north quartz mine in North
America, will start operations in two
weeks on Keno Hill, on the property
of the Treadwell Yukon Company, at
Mayo it was announced by officials
yesterday.
Sufficient ore has already been
mined to keep the mill working at
capacity.
The Treadwell Yukon company’s big
caterpillars hauled the machinery
over fropi Whitehorse last. week. This
company is now employing about
ninety men, and all its work is pro
gressing nicely.
The first ore landed in Mayo this
winter by the big “cats” was that be
longing to J. E. Pickering and Frank
Britton, laymen on the Keno Hill
Limited’s property on to pof Keno
Hill. They are doing splendidly, get
ting ou tmuch high-grade ore. They
are increasing their force.
Some high-grade ore was landed
from the Settlemier & Bermingham
company’s property on Galena Hill.
This was the first ore ever shipped
from that hill. This property and
Galena Hill generally hold great
promise for the future. There are
other miners developing and taking
out ore on this hill. The laymen on
the Settlemier property are prepar
ing to take out considerable ore this
winter, and so are many others in dif
ferent localties.
Hector Morrison is taking out con
siderable high-grade shipping ore on
Keno Hill. There are more indi
vidual operators than ever before in
the camp.
She: Are you sure that you will
always be faithful to me?
He: Yes, I’ve been faithful to oth
er women.

Ninety W. S. C. Hens Lay
20,993 Eggs This Year
PULLMAN, Dec. 26.—Single comb
White Leghorn hens are making high
laying records at the State College of
Washington poultry ranges. Statis
tics compiled for the past year show
an average of 229 eggs apiece for the j
twelve months for each of the 165
birds under test.
The seventy birds in'the breeding
house laid a total of 16,813 eggs, which
is an average of 240 eggs apiece for
the twelve months. The 95 birds in
the straw loft poultry house laid# a
total of 20,993 eggs or an average
per bird of 221 eggs.
Some tests with Barred Rocks are
under way and will be ready for sta
tistical compilation in a month or two
more.
“To determine any loafing periods
the birds may have during the winter
a monthly record should be kept of
the condition of each bird on the first
or last of each month.
“The record sheet should have the
band number of each bird in the pen,
the measurement of the capacity of
the abdomen, the condition of the
bird, and whether it is producing or
loafing. Birds may be checked up in
a very short space of time once a
month in this way and a most accu- j
rate record of each bird obtained for
the year by summarizing these re- ;
cords.
“The breeders should be selected
in the fall on the basis of vigor, in
tensity of production, lack of broody
periods, persistency in production as
indicated by the record sheet, the
condition and weight of the bird. The
birds chosen should be mated with
males from high producers bought of !
breeders of trapnest stock.
“In this way all the poor producing, j
undesirable females are eliminated, j
and when the birds chosen are mated !
with males of known pedigree, bred
for high egg production, should pro
duce pullets with a high flock aver- ;
age.”
The skirts are getting shorter and ;
shorter. Many women had no show
at all when they wore long skirts.
PERSIA OPPOSED TO
WOMEN BOBBING HAIR
SEATTLE, Wn„ Dec. 26.—All at-1
tempts to free Persian women of1
their traditional burdens, symbolized
by the Turkish veil, and to get them
to bob their hair, have been express
ed by the government, according to
Dr. Genib Frazel, Persian philosopher
and scholar, who is in Seattle in be
half of an East India Bahai reli
gious movement.
“About the only modern practice
in matters of wedlock indulged in by
Persians is divorce and even that is
rare,” said Dr. Frazel. “Polygamy
is falling into direpute.”

CAMP PREDICTS CHANGE
IN RULES OF FOOTBALL
DENVER, Dec. 26.—Revision of
football rules to change the present
manner of kicking off was predicted
here today by Walter Camp, who is
on a short visit here en route from
San Francisco to New York.
Mr. Camp indicated to Elmer Me
Devitt, head coach at the University
of Denver, that he would work for
a return to the former practice of
kicking off from the 40-yard line in
stead of the center of the field.
Another change suggested by Mr.
Camp was that the five-yard offside
penalty was severe enough in itself
without including a first down, in
addition.
With this new-fangled spelling it’s
quite a social function to hoppe to
the stoppe for the morning shopps.
