POWER LINE TO
 THANE MILL CUT
 BY SNOW SLIDE
Mining Operations Curtailed Temporarily by Break
 Men to Be Laid Of.

A big snow slide, sweeping down the mountainside at the Carlson Creek divide, last Saturday tore out the Annex Creek-Thane transmission line belonging to the Alaska Gasti- neau Gold Mining Company for a distance of a mile at one point and for shorter distances. at several other places. it was learned yester- day when repair crews sent out Sunday returned to report
 The result of the slide is to cut the Annex Creek power station of the mining company off from con- nection with the plants at Thane and to cut the power available prac- tically in two This will reduce the tonnage that can be put through the big mill from 5000 tons a day to 5000 tons.
 This means, according to Manager George T. Jackson, of the Alaska Gastineau Gold Mining Company, that a corresponding reduction in men, engaged in producing tonnage, must be laid off until such time as the transmission line can be re- paired, which he thinks will be at least a month from now.
 "The snowslide of Saturday was indeed a disastrous one and will case the Alaska Gastineau Gold Mining Company to cut the tonnage milled from 5000 tons day to ap- proximately 5000 tons, as we are now only receiving half the power that we have been getting Supt. Jackson said today. "Men engaged in getting out tonnage will be tenn porarily laid off in numbers pro- portionate to the loss in tonnage, which will mean many men taken from our mines and mills.
 Owing to the fact that in the mountains where the Annex Creek line is located snow slides are daily occurring. making working condi- tions dangerous. it will not be pos sible to start repair work for some time. I estimate that it will be a month before operations on a large scale can be resumed"
 | The snowslde took the copper wires on the steel towers far into the gulches and destroyed them making salvage operations extreme ly difficult and in many places i'm possible. The line runs from Anne, Creek in Taku inlet over the noun 1 tain ranpa t0 ThaDa and in many places is at a great altitude where the snow is still falling
 Power for the big mill at Thant and for the other machinery incl
 dental to the operations of thu plant of the Alaska Gastineau Com
 pany is furnished by two electri
 plants at Salmon and Annex Creek Each furnishes about an eqna amount.

HOLT SET BACK

Cochran Objects Reading Communications Without
 Proper Follow Up Action

Cochran of Nome. MT. Cochran ob- jected to the matter going into the record at that time unless Mir. Holt had some recommendation for ac- ton to accompany the communica- tions.
 In sustaining the objection the Speaker stated that it had been the practice at former sessions of the Legislature to refer such communi- cations directly to proper commit tee and, if there considered advis- able or necessary, brought by them to the attention of the House.
 MT. Cochran stated that all mem bers of the Second Division delega- tion had received similar communi- cations, being sent out by the Northwestern Chamber of Commerce of Nome. He said it was a matter for consideration and action by. the Committee on Transportation and should be brought up on the floor of the House at the proper time.

partment Of Agriculture has just
said of the matter:
"This occurrence of the pink boil
worm in Ellis County is by far the
most important development which
has occurred in relation 20 the find
ing Of it in the United States. .
Il demands early and most serious
consideration by the authorities in
Texas as well As by the authorities
Of all other States that produce cot

decided 10 call a conference in Dali
las on Dec. 2.
In a study Of the insect, by W. d.
Hunter Of the Bureau Of Entomology
published by the Department Of Agri-
culture, It is said that the pink boil
worm is the most serious pest Of the
cotton plant in the world; and II re-
duces the yield, lowers the quality
Of what is produced, and affects
seed as well as lint. The farmer
loses a part of his crop, the spinner
gets inferior material and the miller
obtains lower grade by-products

According 10 this same authority,
the life history of the insect fav-
ors les spread The larvae, in the last
stages make their way into the seed
and may live there for as long as two
years. In experiments, bales Of cot
ton with infested seed were stored.
Twenty-six months later they were
opened, and living larvae were found.
This remarkable longevity, Mr.. Hun
ter says, makes it possible for the
pink boil worm TO be transported in
seed 20 the remotest part of the earth.

ago the boil weevil appeared at one
spot in Texas, near the Mexican Dor

A DANGER TO COTTON

Cotton production in the United
States Is seriously menaced today.
The most dangerous cotton pest in
the world has made its appearance in
one Of the largest producing coun-
ties Of Texas. Let il once get firmly
established, as has the weevil, and
the reign Of King Cotton in the Uni
ted States would be seriously imper-

This is TO introduce the pink boil
worm. In 1917 IL was found at a
few points in Texas where It had
been brought from Mexico. Steps
we're Immediately taken 10 stamp it
out by establishing zones in which
cotton could not be raised, and by
quarantine against foreign seed. Now
in spite of these precautions, it has

The first cloudy morning seen in
this section in llG days was in evil
dence Tuesday This fan season has
been the most remarkable example
Of California weather ever known
i'm the South Plains section. Since
the first bale Of cotton was ginned
in September there has not been a
single hour lost from the fields on
account Of bad weather
For the first time in the history Of
the section all cotton is out Of the
fields before the first Of December
This has been possible on account OF
the unprecedented influx Of laborers
OF all kinds and the continued idea

BIRD RESERVATIONS

Reservation in Florida, back IN 1908
at the request Of the Audubon So
