Mosquitoes To Be Let
Live in Pools For
Econony's Sake

Economy is the slogan at the
Office of Public Buildings and
Parks. as far at least as exter.
mination of the mosquito in East
and West Potomac Parks, Is con.
cerned.
1t is too expensive, according to
the Government, to fill the pools
caused by the recent rain, While
oils which would exterminate
them would prove harmful to the
grass.
The only remedy is to let nature
take her course-cold weather
which always handles this ques-
ton more effectively and more
economically than any other
measure.

A Political Fifty-Fifty.
(New York Times. ]

An old-fashioned should be the pie torial representation of this Presidential cam paign to date. Just the Republicans re- joicing over the bad Democratic situation in North Carolina, a Republican to the surface in Wisconsin. On the day when Judge Pattangall joins his wife in Democratic revolt in Maine, George Peek exhorts Republican farm CTS to support Smith In esthetie circlse the son of President Garfield one-pesumably Herbert Hoover-that clear stand must be taken on the prohibition issue. and Professor John Erskine comes out for the Democrats But at that moment, from his sylvan retreat Dr Parkhurst assures New York that Tammany is just as bad as it was thirty years ago.
 Fifty-ffty remains the prevailing score. Both sides have similar and apparently equal troubles. This is true even in the field of human mortality George Brennan, the Democratic leader is stricken, and the hope that his aggressive per sonaity will help Smith carry Illinois is blghted. The next day comes the news that Philadelphia s political ruler, Senator-elect Vare has had a paraytic stroke, and fears expressed that his henchmen may decide to carry Philadelphia against MT Hoover, whom MT. Ware did so much to nominate at Kansas City. All over the map the Raskob nor Chairman Work ventures to exult over any item of good news knowing that in a few hours bad news will come in.
 or all the mixed situations, those in Wisconsin and North Carolina at this time the most serious. In North Carolina Senator Simmons Is advising Democrats that they are no longer bound to stand by the National ticket and how influential this powerful State leader will be can not yet be determined. In Wisconsin Chairman Work has offended the La Toilette Blaine Party by not inviting their State committeeman to the conference in Chicago, and Smith stock rises with every defance that comes from Madison and every attempt at explanation from Washington

Seward Gateway

If the same jewelry quartz which was brought into Seward from Nuka Bay yesterday by Tom Babcock together with the 25 pounds of gold that he had with him could have been shown in Ne vada there would be a stampede overnight The stuff is so rich that it fairly sparkles with gold and 1t is pleasing to note that there is three feet of it on the Babcock and Downey ground in this mining district of the Kenai Peninsula.
 Babeoek had the cleanup that had been taken from the little ball mill which they have been high-grade on June IS. He estimates that there IS $f,ooo worth of ore on the dump and with the three veins the property now stripped along the surface it will be necessary to put in larger stamp mill and concentrator.
 The Babeock-Downey showing is one of the most signifcanct that has come to light in this part or Alaska for several years. Coupled with other hnds that are being made by other miners III the district. the conviction is forced home that the camp so miles south of Seward now gives promise or being one of the leading mining dis trlcts or the Territory justifying the faith and patience Of the men who have been putting in their time and money there for several years past

BENEFITS FROM THE FAIRS.

In his address at the opening of the seventh annual Juneau Fair. Gov. Parks. stressed two very practical reasons for it and presented con elusive arguments to sustain his contentious. They were to encourage people to raise more and better products and to encourage consumption of home products
 If there a way to find cut it would probably be disclosed that many people of this section of Alaska are planting gardens and rais- ing foodstuffs and flowers that would not have been so engaged if it had not been for the fairs that we have held. And. doubt, there has been much improvement in the products for the same reason.
 The exhibits at the fairs have taught those who have seen them that Alaska can produce the very best vegetables, berries and other food stuffs, and that flowers more beautiful cannot be produced anywhere
 Agriculture like everything else, requires patronage to make it thrive and Alaska agricul- ture must depend upon the local consumers for patronage The fairs at Juneau, Anchorage and Fairbanks a good purpose, therefore, by ad- vertising the fact that consumers get their moneys when they consume local products and they at the time stimulate the activities and growth of their Territory.
 Nothing does to add to the attractive ness of Alaska than the growing flowers and vegetables about the various towns. We speak often of the beauty spots of the Nation and always they growing things that make most for supreme beauty If we could make our Alaska towns noted for their flowers vegetables fruit trees and bushes and shrubbery, we would make life in Alaska pleasanter and we would add immensely to the favorable advertising that would be spread about the world by the tourists who come here in greater and greater numbers with the years

NEW CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT

In Canada the Premier have the right to decide for himself how large Cabinet he will have-and that applies to the various Provinces of the Dominion. If he has not enough positions to hand out the Premier just includes a man that he wants in his Cabinet and desgnates him a Minister without portfolio"
