COMPLAINS OF MAIL SERVICE
 TO LDLTAROD

Among the visitors in Cordova yes terday while the steamship Alaska was in port was Al Walsh the we'll known and energetic placer operator of the Iditarod country, who spent the day visiting with friends and in at tending to matters of business.
 Probably no man is more thoroughly and intimately familiar with Interior Alaska than is MT. Walsh He de- votes a large portion of each year to the trail, and knows and is known by practically every resident of the great valleys of Interior Alaska-the Kuskokwim, the Innoko and the Idit- arod. During the past season he has added to his other activities an in terest in fish-packing industry at Bethel, near the mouth of the Kus- kokwim, and speaks enthusiastically of the outlook for that industry in that region.
 MT. Walsh is on his way Outside, and one of the objects of his visit to the States is to interest the authori- ties in Washington in bettering the mail service of that section of Alaska. He is armed with strong protests from commercial and other interests of the Iditarod and Kuskokwim dis tricts against the action of the depart ment in abandoning the mail service from Seward to Iditarod, and the rout- ing of mail for that section by way of Cordova, Fairbanks and Ruby, and these he intends to supplement by his own views and experiences in an en- Seward again next year. Speaking of the change he said:
 "The people hitherto served by the mail service from Seward to Iditarod are greatly disappointed at the action ing the mail to the longer and more circuitous route, and this disappoint- ment has been changed to indignation by the fact that up to the time I left Flat, on November 25, no Outside mail had yet been received. It is the general belief of the people that the Seward route was abandoned through lack of knowledge of actual conditions
The Cordova daily times., 1919-12-29

there, such as that the trail was in bad condition, that the roadhouses had been closed, and that the popu- lation had materially decreased.
 "The fact is that the Seward-1dita- rod trail is a splendid one, as is evi- denced by the fact that I myself made the trip from Flat to Wasilla, the end of the railroad, a distance of 400 miles, in nine days. Last winter E. A. Beatty took over the trail fly wheel weighing 1,500 pounds, and six feet four inches in diameter, making the tourney from Anchorage to Me Grath in thirteen days The late George" Riley took in by dog team over the same trail shaft weighing 800 pounds. MT. Beattie has just brought out from Iditarod 1850 nounds of gold bullion, which he land- ed in Seward in fifteen days. "As to the roadhouses, we found them all running, ana IuIhiShlhS o" cellent service, as usual
 "As to the alleged decreasing popu- lation, it may be said that there are quite as many people in the district AS there have been for some years past, and that with the increased ac' tivity at McGrath, on Candle creek, and the recent quartz discoveries, It is more than likely that the popula- tion will increase from this time on. instead of decreasing. l look for considerable influx of people into the district during the coming spring, and the whole region is bound to benefit thereby"
 According to Mr. Walsh, large num- bers of citizens located on the Seward trail are now practically without mail service of any description.
 The distance between Wasilla, the end of the railroad, and Iditarod, the route taken by the mail carriers for merly, he says, is 400 miles, while the distance from Chitina to 1ditarod' by way of Fairbanks, Tanana ana Ruby, is in the neighborhood of thousand miles.
 Besides the convenience of recelv- ing their mail by the old route many days earlier than by the present route, the operation of the mail serv- ice tended to keep the trail open, and thus was an added convenience to the Iditarod and Kuskokwim residents in their travel to and from the coast. As the government has spent compara- lively little money for roads in that section, they think that it is not un- reasonable to expect assistance in thus facilitating the means of travel in such wild country.

BOYS, HOW'RE YOU
COIN TO THE CIRCUS?
CARRYING WATER TO THE ELE.
PLANT MAY SOON BECOME
LOST ART.

One of boyhood's most cherished
institutions is in danger. The old
established juvenile custom of earn
ing a ticket to the circus by carrying
water to the elephant has received a
staggering blow. For report has it
that the famous African elephant will
soon be no more The South African
Cape Provincial Colony proposes to
exterminate the huge beasts by
wholesale in the Aldo Bush forest,
near Port Elizabeth.
For generations past these animals
have been a great nuisance to the
farmers. They have damaged crops
and killed several persons.
The African elephant is noted for
its laziness-quite reverse to its In
dian relatives, who, when called upon,
cheerfully and easily shoulders a bur-
den of a ton or so. However, an eff
fort is to be made to train the young
ones for log-hauling in the Cape for
ests.
The rounding up of the animals has
involved the erection of number of
lofty observation towers, and so large
are the numbers to be killed that the
shooting of the animals will take over
six month. The natives enjoy ele-
plants meat, and the prospect of an
unlimited supply for several months
is being eagerly looked forward to-.
The provisional councils announce
ment has caused keen regret among
naturalists, some of whom say that
should the threat be carried into eff
feet the elephant, like the mastodon
and the iththoysaurus, may become
extinct.

TREATING PEACH
TREES FOR BORERS
GEORGIA EXPERIMENT STATION
ADVISES USE OF ASPHALT
UNI. GIVES RESULTS.

At the Georgia Experiment Station
a test has been made in the control
of the peach tree borer by the use of
asphaltum. Previous investigations,
reported in bulletin No. 70, THE
Peach Tree Borer," Of the Georgia
Experiment Station, show that the
adult moth of the borer deposits eggs
at the base Of the peach trees during
the month of August and early Sep
TENDER. Therefore the intentions
were to apply a coat of some pro-
tective sepellent to the trees before
the egg laying period so as to pre-
vent the moths laying their eggs in
the crevices of the bark at the base
of the trees.
On August 9Th the loose soil to
the depth of approximately one and
one-half inches was scraped from
around 35 four-year-old Elberta
seeding peach trees. The base of
each tree was given a coating of as
phaltum, the coat extending up the
tree from eight to ten inches above
the soil.
Thirty-fve other trees of the same
kind and grown under same condi
lions were left untouched.
On February 10th and 18th the
trees of both plats were closely eX-
amined for borers with the following
results:
Bases of trees coated with asphalt
tum: Of the 35 trees only 2 had bor-
ers and five borers were found in
these.
Bases of trees not coated with as
phaltum: Of the 35 trees IA were
not affected, but Fl had borers in
them, 35 borers in all being found
in these.
1t will be observed in the treated
trees only two trees were affected
with borers, while in the trees not
treated twenty-one trees were af-
| fected. The borers in the two trees
that were treated had worked into
the trees beneath the coating of as
phaltum, which could have been pre-
vented, possibly, by taking extreme
care in applying the asphaltum.
The treatment in no way injured
the bark of the trees. In fact it was
beneficial to the vigor and general
health to the extent that it largely
prevented the attacks of the borers.

Meal, he and others said, consisted
of a stew made from canned beef,
one slice of bread and part of cup
of coffee. Sometimes only the stew
was served, witnesses said.
Charles Goldberg, New York city,

infantry, third division, said that
while in the "brig" he was knocked
down by an officer and one of his
teeth Knocked out when he refused
to surrender his money belt. Draw

berg fought a few minutes, but the
witness said he was forced to sur

ed from blows on the arms.
"Once when | was scrubbing a

Goldberg.

often so hungry that they were "glad

that he dipped tin cup in swill

he would eat with a relish"
'Instead of giving q command it
was generally given with a club" as
serted Boggs, who said he saw at
least fifty men beaten.
Alvin Bates, of Brooklyn, who was
with the headquarters troops, Second
army, said whenever "there was a
formation a man was beaten up ev-
cry five minutes" at the prison farm.
He and Boggs said that a Pole, serv-
ing in the American army, was bru-
tally beaten, and soon afterward the
prisoner cut his throat with a razor.

said Bates, referring to the farm.

MUST STAND TEST IN HOUSE
TO KEEP LIQUOR IN HOME
Enforcement Measure Before Con-
gress Likely to Be More Drastic.

WASHINGTON, D. CA mans
right to keep liquor in his own home,
which stood the test before the house
judiciary committee, must take its
chance now in the senate.
Notice was served today on the
committee by one of its members that
when the house resumes considera-
ton of the prohibition enforcement
measure an amendment would be Of
fered to make it unlawful for a per-
son to retain possession of liquor
stored prior to July l. The commit
tee, in framing the general enforce
ment measure, eliminated the sec
ton which would have made home
storage illegal but the big majority
polled yesterday by prohibitionists
was accepted in some quarters to
mean that the bill in certain respects
will be made still more drastic.
