ABOUT WILSON AND TAFT
( Continued from page 1)
was the best Democrat available.
"It certainly looks like Demo
cratic success," says the Pall
Mall Gazette. "The nomination
of Wilson will prevent the leak
age of radical votes from the
party to Roosevelt. The selection
of Wilson will prove an awkward
bunker for Roosevelt."
• The Minnesota Progressive Re
publican League will back Wil
son for president, George S. Lof
tus, president of the league, an
nounces.
"Wilson represents our id»va of
progressiveism," said Mr. Lof
tus. "There is no reason Tor us
lo join in the third parly move
ment and neither can we support
Tafl. We will work for Wilson."
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, former
chief of the Bureau of Chemistry,
tonight announced that he had
quit the Republican party and
would support the Demtocratic
presidential ticket this year. Dr.
Wiley made this known at a meet
ing which organized the Wilson
Marshall Democratic club of the
District of Columbia.
The Sacramento, Union, for a
half century the exponent of re
publicanism, is supporting Wil
son.
The Spokane Spokesman-Re
view, the Walla Walla Bulletin
and seven other eastern Wash
ington newspaper.*-, heretofore
Republican, refuse to support
Tafl.
The Tacoma Tribune (Rep.? is
for a third parly and against Tafl.
Scores of other newspapers
throughout Ihe country have de
clared their independence of Ihe
Republican machine and are
fighting the candidacy of Tafl
and—
fllenry Watterson, of the Louis
ville Courier-Journal, who has
not supported a Democratic nom
inee save Alton B. Parker, in 10
years, is for Tafl!

WHICH FORTUNES MADE
( Continued from page 1)
YVhelper has purchased 150
pairs of blues from different fox
raisers to the westward and in
the neighborhood of Juneau. This
new blood will bring back the run
down breeds of the east. Mr.
Gwinn, who has been visiting Mr.
Roher's place, says the interior
of Alaska is peculiarly well ad
apted to fox raising and that the
pelts are just as flne as those of
the cast.
On tlfe other hand, by locating
the farms in close proximity to
such streams as Copper River,
food can be cheaply obtained for
the animals, while potatoes can
be grown easily to mix with the
fish.
It is Mr. Gwinn's intention to
go into the business here with
Mr. Roher upon hi6 return from
the provinces, where he goes to
deliver his purchases. But few
are aware that there are more
than a baker's dozen of fox farms
in successful operation on this
coast, but, unfortunately, none in
the interior, where better results
can be had. To give an exanfole
of the importance of the industry
it is only necessary to state that
a magazine is published devoted
exclusively to fox breeding and
that studs are registered as care
fully as arc horses, dogs or oth
er pedigreed animals.

Blend Flour Best
A straight hard wheat flour is peculiarly suited to
certain uses; but the housewife finds it hard to work.
CJ A straight soft wheat flour also has its good qualities.
«5 But the professional baker, the man who makes his living
working every day with flour, has learned that a judicious
mixture of hard and soft wheats, gives best results.
•J Aiming to produce a pcrfcct all-purpose flour, the Fisher Floor
ing Miils have had the foregoing facts in mind.
<jj Fisher's Blend Flour is not a haphazard combination of hard and
soft wheat. It is the result of careful experimentation covering a long
..nrl.J
, - in. |iiujwr proportions ot cacli to get the fullest
advantage of their particular qualities in the blend.
•J The two kinds of grain arc ground separately, individual milling ma
chinery being required for each. Then they are combined scientifically. In
this way, the full strength is saved.
•S For household purposes, blend flour will supersede all other varie
ties, when its advantages are generally known.
Fisiier's Blend Flour is a pleasure to knead and a joy to bake.
•0 Costs More per Sack—because it's worth more.
*8 Costs Less per Loaf—because it gives results.

Owing to the inclement weath- i
er the ball game between the *
Leans and the Fats, to be given .
for the benefit of the Hospital of
the Good Samaritan, was post
poned. The Fats, however, claim
the game, alleging that they were
in the grounds ready to play from
the deck of the vessel they had
chartered for the occasion, while
upon the other hand the Leans
protest te claim, on the ground
that the Fats had shipped before
the mast instead of signing for
he season's ball. Eventually Ihe
natter will be adjudicated by sub
mitting the controversy to the
nagnates of the National league.
