PARCEL POST NOT FATAL.
Its Field Proved to Be New Created
Business.

Evidently under the inspiration of
the express companies, the pubnc
were educated to believe that parcel
post spelled bankruptcy to the coun-
try merchant. The trade papers
preached it for years; to the country
dealer it was a constant nightmare,
and even people who favored the IDEA
did so with some pangs of sympathy
for the poor dealer who was to be put
out of business by the big mail-order
houses in the large cities. The parcel
post has been in operation some elgnt
months, and can you name one SOIL
tary country dealer who has failed in
business during that time that can
honestly say the parcel post did it?
We read of cooked meats and
cakes that mother actually made, go
ing by post to her boy in the city; or
asparagus and crisp radishes from
friend to friend; of human ashes and
all sorts of curious and unusual things
finding their destination through the
medium of parcel post, but how many
articles which the country merchant
has in stock on his shelves are order
ed from the city to come back by par
eel post?
AS a matter of fact, one of the
largest mail-order houses in the world
makes practically no effort to adver-
tise it's goods in towns which have a
really up-to-date department store,
and ships the great bulk of its sales
by freight as when there was no par
eel post. The new service was need
ed, and is proving of great service to
the people; but for the most part the
business it does is really created bust
ness, including articles which are now
sent because the rate permits it, and
which were seldom shipped under eX-
press rates. 1t did not occur to peo-
pie to pay 25 or 35 cents express on
articles which the recipient could buy
in his own town for or 10 cents;
but when the 10-cent article can be
mailed for half it's cost, the thing be-
comes practicable. But as for put
ting the country dealer out of bust
ness, that was simply the dream of
the express companies.-H. H. Wind
sor in the September Popular Me-
chanicS Magazine.

the matter to discover how slowly the
horse is retreating from our large
cities. In Chicago, for instance, there
are now 1888 horses employed, or only
PSI less than one year ago. In Boston
there are only so horses less in use than
10 years ago; Baltimore shows de-
crease of S73 in seven years; Cincin-
natl reports only 1853 less than 10 years
ago; while Minneapolis has actually
ago.
1t should be noted, however. that the
city carriage horse has practically
gone; in fact the cartoonists are al
ready picturing the occasio al driving
horse s a curiosity, and he is now rele-
gated chiefly to omnibus and funeral
work, in which he is gradually losing
ground. The riding horse will remain
for a time, but hangs OF a slender
likely to displace him at short notice
The farmer is rapidly reducing the
number of horses on his place. going to
town in an automobile, and blowing
more and more with mechanical pow
er. Nevertheless, the price of good
working horse today is more than 10
years ago, partly because there is lit
tie demand for any but the best quail
ity. Thirty years ago there were some
thing like $4,000 horses drawing street
cars in this country; now there are
only 2,5o0. In most industries so radi-
cal change is usually accompanied by
q shift TO another usually a new occu-
Pc ton; but in the case of the horse.
where will he go when the motor truck
and light traction engine come into
their own, as they surely will ?-H. H.

HOW TO EXTERMINATE
A GARDEN PEST.

The little green lice that are so
abundant on rose bushes just now may
be all cleaned off by thoroughly ap-
plying one of the following remedies:
Remedy L: Black leaf extract, one
part in seventy parts of water.
Remedy 2: Tobacco leaves, stems
or dust, one pound in four gallons or
water. Place the tobacco in water
enough to cover it, and steep in hot
but not boiling water for full hour
and dilute as mentioned.
Remedy 3: Whale oil or fish oil
soap, one pound to eight gallons Of
water.
Remedy 4: Kerosene emulsion made
SO as to be about one-fifteenth oil.
Any one of the above remedies, and
many others that might be mentioned,
will be effectual if used as a forceful
spray directed upon the under side of
the leaves in sufficient quantities 70
thoroughly wet the lice. If many are
missed at the first treatment, repeat
in three or four days. The same APP
plications will Kill similar lice upon
other plants
To kill lice on any feathery plant,
such as small ivy and the like, make
a paper cone to cover the plant and
burn a small quantity of sulphur under
the cone. pinch of sulphur will
usually enoug to kill all lice.
A woman whose large garden was
being overrun with snails wrote to the
department of agriculture for a RENE
DIV. She was told to put large pieces
of cut raw potato on the under side
of a board, raised at one end a few
inches from the ground. This she did,
with the result that in one week a
thousand snails had collected in one
spot.
If you are troubled with cabbage
worms sprinkle the plants with salt
water and it will destroy the worms
and YOU will have the satisfaction of
knowing that no injurious powder or
wash has been used. Mix the water
in the proportion of one large coffee
cup of salt to one gallon OF water, and
annIv If with ordinary sprinkler.

Bar and Citizens Tell Judge ly- ons How Well His Work
 Has Been Appreciated.

The smoker last Saturday night at the Tillikum Club by the Bar Association of the Third division and the citizens of this division in general, as testimonial of the high regard in which they hold Judge Lyons, of the First division, was a great success. The rooms we're crowded and mo- thing was left undonc by the ar rangement committee to provide for the distinguished guest of the evening.
 Mayor F.. F.. Ritchie, who is all Iso an attorney, presided at the meeting and he called on many members of the bar and also sev- eral prominent citizens, all of whom voiced the high esteem in which the people of this section hold Judge Lyons, who, by his fairness, honesty. fearlcSsncss and legal ability has earned the confidence of the people of every community in the entire terri tory.
 Judge Lyons. in responding, said that the people of Alaska, the members of the bar and the press of the territory had treat cd him with the utmost courtesy. He said that AlaskanS were the best losers in the world. That lit igalio is of great importance ln he litiganls. yet the losing side had always been fair to him, in spite of the fact that he was called upon to decide against them. He thanked the people of Valdez for the many courtesles extended him and the many kind things they had said about him.
 The speaking continued until we'll in the morning and the good things lu eat and drink and smoke were passed around as needed.

Mike Totumuf and Tommy E'uuchy, of Ellamar and Tatitlck, arrived in town yesterday from their homes and report that dhc natives and the Russian priest have been having trouble, and that the natives held a mass meeting and decided to stand pat and re- fuse to pay tribute to the priest, who claims to have S275 due him as church dues from the natives.
 The story as told by the two men is that the priest demand ed his share of the money re- ceived by the natives for cutting wood for the Ellamar mine. He claims $i from each native a day, SO the natives called meeting and now refuse to "cOme across. The priest has threatened that all kinds of trouble shall pursue them and their families.
 The priest. the natives rIaim. is always drunk and they do not care lo work for his "hnoZr," but are afraid if they do not pay him he will keep Jesus from coming to. Tatitlrk, and they want him to come. They would like to have the marshal help them to stop the priest from keeping Jesus from entering he village.
