TWO NEW ANIMAL PESTS

Two animals not much spoken Of
previously have gained prominence as
destructive rodents during the past
year, reports the chief Of the Biolog-
ical Survey, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. One IS the
mountain beaver or sewellel, curious
rodent living in the humid regions Of
the northwest coast. II was formerly
considered harmless, but with the de-
velopment Of agriculture in its region
it has become increasingly injurious 10
crops, particularly small fruits and
market produce. Control measures
have been devised, and representatives
Of the department have given demon
stratious ia Orgon and Washington,
where active measures were needed.
The other animal that has come into
prominence as destroyer is the cot
ton rat. a smsll rat-likc rodent limited
10 the South Atlantic and Gulf States.
It's depredations are principally in con
nection with sugar-cane in Florida.

BIRD POPULATION INCREASING

The beneficial effects Of the migra-
tory bird treaty act are beginning to
be felt The United States Depart
mont Of Agriculture, through its Blu
reau OF Biological Survey, has con-
Quoted Investigations Of the breeding
areas Of ducks in North Dakota and
Nebraska. Compared with former
years, a gratifying increase Of breed
ing waterfowl, particularly in North
Dakota, is evident. The fifth annual
series Of counts Of birds Of all species
breeding on selected areas in various
parts Of the United States contained
a large proportion Of reports showing
increases in bird population. The
total number Of reports received, how
ever, was not large. Many Of the per-
sons who had formerly taken part in
the annual bird counts were unable,
because Of extra duties assumed dur
ing the war, TO find time for the work
required by the fifth count.
"Many species of migratory birds,
reports the chief Of the Bureau Of Bio
logical Survey, "have had a marked
increase under the existing treaty act.
Waterfowl formerly driven to the far
North by spring shooting have re-
mained in steadily increasing numbers
to breed in localities where none had
previously nested for many years"

PLENTY OF JUICE

It looks as if the Lord was on the side of the motor maniac. Anyway the supply of gas bids fair to hold out. For a time, when the Pennsylvania field had gone dry and Illinois and Indiana had about played out, and Texas and California only produced that thick, gummy stuff which could not be used. it looked as if gasoline would become a prehistoric memory and motor car owners would have to depend on alcohol or soft coal But here lately oil has been discovered in all sorts of odd corners. Texas and eastern Mexico are drenched with it. Report now has it that perhaps the greatest fields yet found lie on the west coast of Mexico or in the eastern part of Canada. Down in Col umbia, S. A., remarkable finds are re- ported and American, British and other capital is rushing in to exploit the discoveries. The greatest field of all, however, Is asserted to be the

INEXCUSABLE IGNORANCE

How easy matter it is to give cir culatiOn to false news is we'll illus trated in the Seattle ePost-mtelligencer of March 6, which in it's Shipping News" under display headlines. prints the following:
 Pacific Steamship Company Liner Unable to Make Cordova, Ellamar. Valdez.
 Heavy ice three inches and more in thickness barred the steamship Ad- miral Evans from entering the ports of Cordova Ellamar. Fort Liscum and Valdez on the initial voyage of that vessel to Southwestern Alaska ports, according to a message received from Captain M. M. Jensen, master of the ship, on his arrival at Seward.
 "Captain Jensen reported to the Pa citic Steamship Company that he had carried all passengers bound for the four points named to Seward. and that unless the cold weather in the Gulf of Alaska moderated he would leave them there, as it would be impossible to make the ports south h-bOund

Fort Lis cum and Valdez, however, is not de- terring the steamship companies from booking passengers for these points by the steamships Admiral Watson. which sails Sunday, and the Alaska, which sails Wednesday, for by the time these vessels arrive in that vicin- lty the weather will likely have mod erated greatly. as heavy ice at this season is an unusual event in that vicinity"
 The closing sentence of the article above quoted is quite true Heavy ice' at this season is an unusual event Tn that vicinity-or at any other sea son. And considering that three inches of i>e is spoken of as "heavy ice" it is even more unusual than the Seattle newspaper man realizes.
 The fact of the matter is that as far as Cordova is concerned the article is entirely false. No steamship was ever kept out of Orcas inlet or Cor dova bay by ice, because ice never forms there.
 The story is built upon the phenom- enon of ice having formed in Valdez bay for the first time in twenty years, owing to a combination of unusual cir cumstanceS-ZerO weather. heavy snowfall and a dead calm. The Evans on her west-bound trip failed to land at Valdez on account of the ice, but the Alameda which followed her cut through the thin layer without diff culty and landed her passengers and freight
 Of course Captain Jensen never made such a report, and it is difficult to conceive how any report he may have made on the subject could have been distorted into the story printed in the Seattle newspaper.

And it's lie, It doesn't rain as much in ketchikan as 1t does in many other towns along the Pacific coast. During the last year tEe rainfall has been very light; the sunshine has been enjoyed for weeks at time without bit of rain. While others have suffered with cold and snow and even rain. ketchikan has enjoyed most delightful fall and winter and the spring has started in beautifully, for it is actual spring here now ahead of other Pacific coast cities.-Ketchikan Chronicle.
