ANCHORAGE, Alaska. Gnats,
ever the curse of life to prospectors
in some of the gold regions of lasAka
in the hot season, came so thickly last
summer in the Iditarod and Flat dis
t~ricts, in the interior, that they smoth-
cred dogs to death. The tale of the
affliction laid by these insects was
brought here by Herbert Riley, who
has n dog transportation system along
the Yukon river.
Before we realized what had hap
pened many of our dogs had been
smothered to DEATH" he related.
Some of the dogs fought the insects
and saved themselves, but others gave
up and were dead in a few minutes.
We found that by keeping the dogs in
sheds or caves where it was dark we
could protect them. The men wore
gloves all the time. Over heads
we had silk cloths. We burned insect
powder continually"
