BAMBOO THRIVES
 IN SUNNY SOUTH

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. lG tby As sociated Press) Eight years ago Ed ward A. McIlhenny of Avery Island was commissioned to the United States bureau of plant production to experiment in growing of Chinese and Japanese bamboo so as to determine the best varieties that may be grown in the south. He is nov about to make his report to the government regarding his forests. The bamboo, Mr. McIlhenny says, at times reaches a height of 50 or 70 feet in three veeks.
 According t. the experimenter, one of the most satisfactory growths of bamboo have been the phyllostachys pubescens valuable as timber and par ticularly relished for eating. The ten der shoots, when six or eight inches above ground, may be eaten as a sal ad and are also used in other cul1 nary ways. Another edible variety is the phyllostachys henryi.
 Exclusively timber varieties include the phyllostachys puberula (Japanese hachiku) and phyllostachys quiloi, both of which were found to thrive in the state of Louisiana. They are said to be adapted for house timbers, telephone and telegraph poles and for boat spars.
 "'The four varieties are hardy and do we'll in Louisiana and will stand a temperature of zero, growing rapidly to. perfection in Southern alluvial soils" said MT. McIlhenny. 'In my opinion these four species of bamboo are destined to play an important part in Southern Louisiana agriculture" --

TOM-T0MS BEAT
 WHILE INDIANS
 DO WAR DANCE

POCATELLO, Idaho, Aug 16 (by Associated Press) Every year in midsummer the Bannock Indians trav- el little used trail to their dancing grounds. Between eight hundred and a thousand of them. gather yearly to worship the sun.
 In the vast quiet of the evening when the hush has fallen over the sage brush and the sun is great ball of red fire sinking behind the mountains, the dreary beat of their tom-toms and the low ghostly chant of their song can be heard for miles. The sound grows in strength as one approaches until with great burst of glaring campfires and seeming confusion the camping grounds are reached. Indians in their native garb are everywhere, hideous in their war-paints and with glistening naked bodies.
 In the center of a corral made from limbs of trees stands a pole. Back against the walls are the dancers and the charters in rhymn to the beat of of the tensions beat by the squaws. The dance is religious and festival of thanks to the Gods for bountiful crops and herbs, streams full of fish aod tho clyv f1,IJ If fauIc

ALASKA NEWSPAPERS TAKE
 NOTE!

This morning the Chronicle re- ceived the first political telegram of the season, telling of the arrival of Dan Sutherland, candidate to con- gross, at Anchorage, saying that he had visited all construction camps along the railroad line and further giv- ing the information that he will be in Anchorage for a matter of ten days.
 This dispatch came collect and was paid for by the Chronicle. It is the first probably of long list of polti- cal telegrams that will be sent out in the interest of the several candidates, for which the Chronicle will be ex- pected to pay the tolls.
 So notice is served to all concerned that the Chronicle does not in- tend to pay the campaign expenses of any of the candidates, nor to pay telegraph tolls on their campaign propaganda stuff. Tn the first place it isn't a political sheet and it does not believe that it's readers are vital1y interested in whether eight miners on Hard Luck Gulch listened to Bill Spiven, the popular candidate for dog catcher with great interest or whether they didn't. If they mobbed him it might make a story worthy of the telegraph toll.
 So, notice is served that the Chronicle will not pay these political telegraphic tolls and newspapers throughout the territory are asked to refrain from sending them unless they are asked for especially, or unless the candidate himself or his boosters wish to send the messages paid.
 The first political rule of the Chronicle office is that all political advertising must be paid for in ad vance. The second rule is that all political telegrams must be paid for by the politicians.
 Of course, when occasion arises that there is a real news story in con nection. the Chronicle will be glad to receive the information in the usual way and pay for the telegraphic ex pense.-Ketchikan Chronicle.

BY AIR TO ALASKA

The army air service has shown cOmmendable initiative in arranging for the flight by army fliers from New York City to Nome, Alaska which has had such good success so far. Four airplanes are being used in the flight of the army fliers who are blazing the pioneer trail from New York to Nome, a distance of S960 miles. The vast stretches of the Can adlan rockies, and the wilderness of the interior of Alaska, have never be- fore been the field for a similar test of the skill and daring of the twen- tieth century airmen. The difficult ties to be overcome in the New York Alaska flight are, in a real sense, of the same brand that faced the con- tinent-conquering frontiersmen of the elghteenth%and early nineteenth cen turies. There are the same perils that come to those who venture into an " are the same hazards of storms, and the treachery of the elements. The danger of Indian ambush and attack alone has been spared the army avia- tors who started their flight some time ago from New York, a fact which is counterbalanced, in some de- gree, by the mechanical perils of science in it's infancy.
 The New York-Nome flight will re- suit in bringing far-away Alaska closer than ever before to the United States. The success of the army flight will demonstrate the feasibility of direct and regular air communication to Alaska. It will make easier the es- tablishment of commercial and postal air routes, by which the inhabitants in the remote fastnesses of Alaska will be able to get news and mail from the United States while both are fresh. By present means of con- munication, most points in Alaska are approximately thirty days from the United States. If established, com munication by air would be possible in but fraction of this time, to the great profit and joy of the American citizens who live under the Stars and StrineS in far-off A1acIza
 In trying to prove the practica- bility of air communication with the north, the army air force is rendering a real service to the American nation, It is demonstrating, in practical fash ion, that the army is not something apart from the nation, unrelated to it's daily life. On the contrary, the army is revealed as dedicated to the services of the American people, in peace no less than in war. Such flights as these give promise of ad- vancing materially the well-being of the 1,00,000,000 and more persons who owe allegiance to the American flag. At the same time, they help to keep up a high pitch of profes- sional fitness among our army fiiers,

ELSIE FERGUSON AT
 EMPRESS THEATER IN
 GOOD STORY WITH PLOT

The Empress offers a decidedly at tractive entertainment tonight in EUnder the Greenwood Tree" Miss Ferguson charmingly portrays the role of a jaded English society girl who longs for the simple life, and in wolves herself in serious trouble through trying to carry out her whim. Eugene O'Brien, who has probably ap- peared with more prominent stars than any other leading man in motion picture, gives Miss Ferguson excel lent support. The plot is novel one, with love, romance and thrills woven into an exciting story-a story of Gypsy life, where the man and the woman mutually deceive, and the real Gvpsies scheme to take advantage ot the misunderstanding.
 The latest number of the Pathe News. and an unusually good comedy reel. add their share in forming a good program for the screen fans.

there has been much rainfall.
 But the destructive wind storms that came with the rain have bol- stered up a skeptical faction that is insisting that if credit be given to Hatfield for the rainfall after July 10, he also be charged up with the destruction.
 Hatfield put up four tanks on the shore of Moses lake in which were certain chemicals the evaporation of which was said to tickle the nostrils and win the good graces of Jupiter Pluvius.
 The Indiana "rainmaker's" letter has been referred by the Spokane chamber of commerce to the Ephata Commercial club.
