Bureal officials announced last

dynamite.
The fact that a clerk in Mayor Han

from exploding. The package in which

ALASKANS ASKING FOR
AEROPLANE SERVICE

Juneau, Alaska. Dec. 30.-(By
mai) Reports from Washington
say that Governor Thomas RIGGS Jr,
OF Alaska, is working to secure an
airplane mail service from Alaska.
Bids for the delivery Of mail from
Valdez to Fairbanks by airplane have
been asked by the postoffice depart
ment, and 1t is understood that 9TH
er mail routes will be investigated.
Substitution of the airplane for
carrying mail in Alaska would in
deed be an innovation and blow at
the romance OF the Far North. Up
to the present and the only method
of carrying mail in a large part OF
the territory, during eight months of
the year, Is by dog team and sled.
During the other four months small
launches or steamers carry the mail.
Alaskans are wondering how 1t will
seem to see an airplane winging It's
way over the snow covered tundra
and hills, over the glaciers Of the
coast and into settlements now glad
dened by arrival Of mail only once
in every month or so.

Preserve the Trees.

Probably the most highly priced
tree in the world is the avocado pear
tree in California, which returns an
annual income of $1,000, and was once
insured for $4,000 AS to trees In
general, immediate money returns su-
persede, in most minds, sentiment or
natural beauty. A landscape robbery"
which caused the "rObbers" no com
Functions, was the cutting Of splen-
did yellow poplar which for several
generations had been landmark
among the Cumberland hills. The for
est monarch, yielded over 1000 feet
of first-class lumber, valued at Sill
600. There was no one to cry wood
man, spare that tree" whose protest
counted against its destruction. The
countryside has lost a natural beauty
never to be restored; the owner has
money in his pocket. AS Joyce Kill
mer wrote: "Only God can make a
tree"
