AN ANNUAL PEST.

The merry and musical mosquito Is
getting busy. They have come not
singly, but in batalions. Tley are the
summer pest that makes life miserable
where they are the thickest, for they
very in quantity according to locallty.
They are especially pestiferious along
the reaches of the two rivers, anu
Where there is underground ana uh-
derbrush they thrive prodigiousiy.
They are productive Of exercise ana
profanity, for no person can remain
Idle where the little insect carries on
Its activities, and the man must De
guarded in his language who refra1ns
from cuss words as he slaps the ar
In an effort to ward off the attacks OIL
the winged hordes. And yet, for all the
complaint and discomforture the mos
quito pest is nothing to what 1t was
some years ago. the memory or which
Is still vivid among the older resi-
dents. In those old days, only ousi-
ness house or two decorated the eA-
treme south end of the present town
OF 0roville During the height Oh liie
mosquito season those who had 10 az
tend those stores were compelled u
wear gauntlets on their hands anu
mosquito netting around their races
to save themselves from being eaten
alive. Horses and cattle hiked lot the
high lands. and even cats ana ooss
and pigs sought shelter from the raw
ages Of the skeeter. In those days
stage left Oroville for Looms III .n'
morning. A man had to stand at 'h'
head of each of the horses during Ih'
height of the mosquito time to preVeh
them from running away and wheh UNI
animals we're turned loose they dashe'
for the ford, that was then the means
OF crossing the river, the water pr
viding some relief from their suiie'
Ing, and then the race continueu ~
the high lands. The little cusses al
severe enough nowadays, but 1t Is iu'
to face them today to what 1t wa
twenty years ago.

BACK TO OLD STAMPING GROUNDS

C. F. Vivian who years ago was en-
gagged in mining on Whisky Hill and
at other points in northern Okanogan
county, has been here for some days.
For number Of years Mr.. Vivian mas
been mining near Nespelem, and has
ore that would be considered excep-
tionally rich in any mining district,
but owing to the claims being so far
from transportation there Is no en-
|couragement in carrying on develop
lment or extracting ore as transpor-
tation charges eat up all the profits.
And if the ore shipped is not excep-
tionally rich the shipper finds himself
in debt after receiving his returns
from the smelter. According to Mr.
vivian there is much good ore along
the San Poll that would pay well II
there were rail facilities near at hand
and until that time there is very little
encouragement for carrying on.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
Common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this observation-disclosures.

SUPREME COURTS DECISION
BARS ALL BEVERAGE LIQUORS
FROM TERRITORIAL WATERS.
ALLOWS MEDICINAL RUM
NO BAN is SET ON MEDICINAL
OR sAcRAMENTAL LIQUORS
BY RULING.

Washington.-The treasury tossed
on the international doorstep its new
regulation carrying out the Supreme
Court decision barring all beverage
liquors from territorial waters of the
United States after II :0l a. m.
June 10.
No loopholes nave been left, accord
ing to a treasury spokesman. and the
courts recent construction of the dry
law will be rigidly applied.
Having failed to find any way by
which conflict with foreign laws could
be avoided, the treasury based its new
ship liquor rules on a literal reading
of the courts opinion and prepared to
let come what may. Its only hope of
alternating a situation, which most Of
ficials agree will be embarrassing to
international commerce, was said to
lie in remedial legislation from the
next Congress.
Except for the exemption granted
medicinal liquor, the usual immunity
accorded diplomats and the privileges
allowed foreign. vessels of war, the
regulation permits of 10 inbound pas
sage of alcoholic beverages. Consider
alton is given, however, to ships
forced by the extremity of distress 20
put into an American harbor.
Concerning the hope among foreign
maritime powers of relief from what
is regarded as one of the most dras-
tic interpretations ever given by the
Supreme Court some treasury officials
felt that Congress might find a way
of circumventing the import dead
line.
Specifically the regulations provide /:
No merchant vessel, domestice or for
eign, may lawfully carry as cargo
within the territorial waters of the
United States any liquor for use for
beverage purposes; liquor for non-bev-
erage purposes may be transported
within the territoriay waters of the
United States under permit in accord
ance with the provisions with section
90 of regulations go )medicinal and
sacramental.)
AS regards the exemptions accorded
the regulations ave set down restric'
tons that require permits and reports
of a character and quantity sufficient
to give the government a complete
check on all liquor thus brought into
the barred zone or landed on American
soil.
No Limitation Is prescribed for the
amount of medicinal liquor which any
craft may possess in American waters
the regulations stating only that q
reasonable quantity may be retained
for such non-beverage purposes unul
the master of the vessel has had "a
fair opportunity to obtain either a per
nit or certificate Of medicinal need.
The possibility Of some lines cancel
ling their sailings to America is re
garded as far from remote The Span
ish Royal mail Steamship Company II
said already to be onu the point o.
cancelling the monthly sailings of III
liners to New York en- route to Hayant
and Vera Cruz with cargoes of liquor
On the other hand, there are indica
tons that both the British and thu
Japanese companies will conform 4
the regulations In the hope that a solu
ton of their difficulties will be foun,
In due course.
at is unlawful for any United State
or foreign vessel within territorial wa
tiers of the United States to carry o
possess as stores any liquor whatso
ever for beverage use"

CARRYING MAIL BY PLANE

The determination to carry Alaskan mails from Nenana to McGi ath by airplane. while it indicates that the march of progress has hit the terri tory. is liable to seriously damage Ghe district traversed in the opinion of a number of old sourdOughs, who de- clare that the route by way Of Lake Minchimina is now fully established, with stations and roadhouses for the convenience and comfort of travellers. It is argued that without the support of the mail contracts these rUadhouse keepers will be forced to suspend bus mess, leaving the country a barren waste, practically impossible to trav- erse unless such shelters are main- tained
 It is maintained by these Oldtimers that the country through which the McGratl mail is carried is barren and of no practical benefit to settlers Oth- CT than roadhouse men. What they
 
 a success of the planes long enough to drive out all roadhouse men, and then abandon the project as impracti- cal, leaving the trail without means of travel.
 It is claimed that once plane is forced down in this country that it will be an utter impossibil.ty to recoV- -er it; that the flyer will io;e his life unless carrying large outfit with him at all time; and that dog ale amply able to take care of all mail go- ing over the route, as business llen use the radio at the terminal points for all immediate business.
 There is no doubt but that some of these claims are justified by the con- ditiOn ot the country through which the mail is carried from Nenana to the kuskokWim district. It is practi- cally impossible in summer time ow- ing to tuhdra and bog while in the winter a fine dog-trail is afforded bv crossing the lake and following up the Kantishna, or going down the east, fork to the Kuskokwim river district.
 It is pointed out that since the mail has been carried into the Iditarod by way of Nenana the Rainy pass tail has been practically abandoned, all roadhouses going out of business with the possible exception of French Joe's and few others neal Flat city.

GAME AND GUN CLUB BE FORMED

A number of Seward Sportsmen are contemplating the formation of a gun and game club for Seward. Among other objects advanced by the club will be to have the open season Ior moose changed, so as 70 begin on Septenb Der 15 and end January 15rh, CT even February 15th. It is pointed out that the present season benefits only outside sportsmen, while practi- cally preventing Sewardites from se- curing meat The outside hunter kills for the horns, while the local hunter kills for the meat only. At the time snow falls and moose can be Sledded out of ths woods, the season ends be fore the lake is frozen sufficiently 10 bear up a dog sled or pedestrian. i5y the time the lake is in condition to travel on the season ends.
 It is pointed out that the rutting season at which time the bulls are killed, does not start until late in September, and continues until after the open season closes. Were the dates to be changed from August to September 15, the meat could be saved and better hunting secured.
 ALJther object of the game club is to purchase traps and clay pigeons for snotgun shooting through the
 
 sum.l,r months, to SOW wild rice in local lakes for duck feed, and to help Game W'aSden Cotter in the enforce ment Of game laws and the propapga- tion of game. The date for the first meeting will bc announced later.
