EMAIL MUST GO THROUGH
Some people have an idea that the
frontier days are over. It's true that
the wild vest is ceasing to be wild
and is now mostly contained in the
travelling aggregations of cowboys
and Indians who entertain our east
ern towns with more or less accu-
rate picture of the frontier as it was.
The attack on the stage coach, the
pony express" that carried the
mails, the nearness of death and the
performance of stirring duty are
mostly memories now, so far as our
west is concerned
But we have new frontier. We
have only pushed back the frontier
IT. the Pacific ocean and now it re-
appears in our northern territory of
Alaska. Here's a. real story of how
the mails are carried and what some
times faces the man who carries
them. It comes from the postoff1ce
department and it really happened.
Once month the mail steamer
leaves from Seward and goes out the
Aleutian Island chain as far as I'm
alaska, making stops along the way
to deliver the mail One of these is
at Cold Bay, opposite Kodiak Island.
After about the first of November
from the Aleutian chain and in Be-
ring sea northward the ice packs
form and navigation ceases. So the
mail must go overland from the
southern coast of Alaska into the in
terror. One of these mail routes
starts from the steamer landing at
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-09-24

Cold Bay, goes across the Alasks
peninsula to Igagik, and around thts
head of Bristol Bay to NushagakS
For years the man who carried the,
mail over this route was G.. L. Bow
dry. Between Nov. 1 to April 80 the,
contract calls for four trips over this
350-mile trail by dog sled. BoWdrJ
was "musher." A musher in Alas.&
ka is a man who can stand the rigorE
of the winter climate, can wade in
frozen water, run mail on his back iix
necessary, sleep in bag on the snow
knows how to drive dog team and>
keep the dogs in good condition and
is prepared to meet all the emergen!t
cies of snow trail trip of this char
acter.
In the winter of 1912 Bowdry left
the steamship Dora with his pack OF
mail to hit the trail for Nushagak.
He never arrived. A searching party
found his murdered body and the
looted mail sacks. A wandering band
of hostile Esquimos had encountered
him. He had with him valuable
clothes and firearms They belonged
to the patrons of Uncle Sam and he
was responsible. He defended the
mail sacks and was murdered while
doing his duty.
But the Dora still takes the mail to
Cold. Bay and another "musher"
takes it overland $50 miles to Nush-
agak four times during the winter
season, because the mining camps
along the trail depend on Uncle Sam
for their communication with the
outside world during the long Alaska
winter night The mail pack may
contain sorely-needed medicines or
important letters from the. folks at
home. And the mail must go through!

she also had the largest actual acre
age increase I'm fall-sown oats Of all
the Southern States. The increase

Swat the Fly Poison Peril.

or forty-seven cases OF arsenical
poisoning OF children reported from
hfteen States from July to October.
1915. in thirty-four the children we're
three years old or less. In thirty
seven the children had drunk poisoned
water from a saucer containing fiy pa
per. In eight cases the children were
poisoned by sucking the wicks in tin
receptacles containing arsenic, sugar
and water. In two cases the children
were poinsoned by sucking a sponge
used to moisten these wicks in pois-
onous fly destroyers.
The similarity of the symptoms of
arsenical poisoning to those Of chol-
era infantum make II quite certain
that there are a great many more
cases than are reported. Cholera in
fantum. one OF the most common all
ments OF very young children, is pre-
valent at the time these poisonous fly
killers are most used.
Most OF the children ore too young
TO tell the cause OF their illness and
unless seen taking the poison, arse
nical poisoning may not be suspected.
Arsenical fly killers are commonly
placed within the reach Of young chill
dren. As sugar Is used with the
arsenic for the purpose of drawing the
Hes. the arsenical hy killers in what
ever form are extremely dangerous to
children. Many more deaths are caus-
ed by them than were caused by the
phosphorous match, which practically
has been abolished because OF the ia
talities TO children. No deadly poison
is so commonly put within tho reach
Il children as Is arsenic for killing
lies.
~ there are effective and safe
methods OF killing flies there Is no
accuse for USING poisonous fly killers
Of any kind. The use in the homo of
poisons of any kind Is dangerous. but
all other poisons combined do not pre-
sent the same dangers to children as
do the poisonous fly killers. The lit
tie ones should be protected from this
really grave and exceedingly common
danger.

A With OF Cotton Lands.

According 20 figures received at
Clemson College from the bureau of
crop estimates. United States depart
ment OF agriculture. the increase In
acreage i'm land sown to oats and
wheat this fall amounts to eighteen
per cent. OF the land sown to cotton
In South Carolina last spring. That Is
To say. the increase in fall-sown wheat
was $4,000 acres and the increase
In fall-sown oats $4,000 acres, or
100000 acres as the total. increase.
The cotton acreage In 1914 was o.
100000. The increase in acreage Of
winter grains amounts. therefore. to
almost one-hfth OF the cotton acre
age. or eighteen per cent.

FIRST ENGINE TEST
ON MIDDLE DIVISION
New Freight Locomotive Hauls
Record Train From Altoona in
Fifteen Hours

Hauling 11S loaded coal cars from
Altoona to Harrisburg yesterday
proved a difficult task for a new
freight engine, known as the LIS
type. The trip was made in 15 hours.
Several times the strain was too much
for the couplings and a number were
pulled out. The test was reported as
only partially satisfactory. To-day the
same engine went from Harrisburg
to Altoona with 120 empty cars.
The test made yesterday was the
first of a series to be made on the
Middle division. The new freight en-
gines are being built to pull long trains
of loaded cars and do heavy work on
grades. The total tonnage of yester
days train was estimated at 1880
adjusted tons. The train left Altoona
at o'clock yesterday morning and
reached Enola last evening at 5.26.
The average number of cars to train
in summer time is 100 loaded. Yes
terday's train was the heaviest made
up of loaded cars ever hauled by one
engine over the division. Conductor
J. b. Kirk of Altoona, was in charge.
The engine was built in the Altoona
shops. The distance travelled was
1917 miles.
