BEAR SITUATION DISCUSSED.
 BY ALASKA FARM HEAD
Steward Gateway.)

A glimpse of what the United. States government, through the De- partment of Agriculture, is doing to- ward developing the farming and cat tle-raising possibilities in Alaska was given oan interested audience at the regular weekly business luncheon of the Seward Chamber of Commerce, Tuesday, by Dr. w. H. Alberts, di- rector of the U. s. experimental sta- tions in Alaska.
 Having been personally engaged in supervising the work for the past three years, and investigating, him. self, all conditions in the Territory having a hearing upon the industry which is first in importance to any nation, as far as his time would per init, Dr. Alherts laid his finger on Kodiak Island as the region destined to be Alaska's livestock center. And in spite of the witness of Kodiak Island," remarked the Doctor, "only very small fraction of it's area is suitable for agricultural purposes"
 Those of the inhabitants of Kodiak who are fostering the grazing of live stock are, in spite of hazards that must soon be removed, show more than substantial progress. s"To my own knowledge" pr. Alberts stated, "the sheep herds number up to 2,0O0 in a single herd, and the cattle nearly as greatly. Unlike other industries, Kodiak livestock raisers are not in dire need of highways, as cattle and sheep can be driven over trails very easily. and a satisfactory system of trails is now established, all leading to the end of the five-mile highway into Kodiak. Supplies and building materials needed by the ranchers is best transported by small boats from the town of Kodiak to the heads of the many bays that serve as head quarters and homesites for ranchers.2
 Treating only lightly on the brown bear menace, which is regarded in different lights by sportsmen than by ranchers, he said reports were not err roneous in that cattle ranchers in the small section of Kodiak Island in which the industry Is being estab- lished are. experiencing serious devas- tations frequently, by the predatory habits of the brown bears. Both sides of the situation are fully appreciated, he said, and plan is being worked ; out by the Alaska Game Commission J and the U. Ss Department of Agricul-

Many matters of interest to I'M
perial Valley were taken up at the
various committee meetings of the
California Development Association,
held on Friday and Saturday of last
week at Los Angeles. w. s. Faw-
cett, represented this county on the
agricultural committee, which is
working for the best interests of
this section of the state and has sew
eral beneficial agricultural plans un-
der discussion.
Jasper l.. Travers, member of the
road committee of the California De-
velopment Association, states that
the committee s resolution, that
Southern California be given three
or four miles of secondary state
highway to one mile in northern, in
order to equalize the total secondary
highway construction in the state,
was passed by the Legislature and
surveys are to be made of all pro-
posed secondary highways in South
ern California. The surveys will be
started Immediately and all reports
are to be in by July l, 1880. Con-
struction will be started as various
ing will not necessarily be held up
until this final date.
Travers also states that two mem
bers of the Associated Chambers of
Commerce of Imperial county are to
be appointed as safety committee
to work with similar committees
from other parts of the state in Civ
ing information to the public on
road conditions and work to make
the highways safe for travel and cut
down accidents. The matter of sign
boards was also considered at this
meeting and a move started to do
away with all sign boards which OBJ
struct scenic views along the high
ways. 1t is also hoped to make sign
boards more picturesque and instruc-
tive than those now scattered along
our Travelled roads, and to make all
historical scenes with tablets which
will inform tourists on California
history.
The Aeronautic committee, of
which Leo Hetzel, president of the
FL Centre Chamber of Commerce, is
member, made a recommendation
to take up the matter of a beacon
light on Mount Signal. This sug-
gestion was introduced by Het2el at
the last meeting and met with the
approval of the entire committee
The beacon light would mark the in
ternational boundary for flyers and
would give warning on the approach
of the San Diego mountains. This
would prevent accidents which oc-
eur on the approach to mountains
and warn pilots to stop and investi-
gate weather conditions before going
on to the coast.

(Unlted Press Staff Correspondent
NACO, Ariz., April 8. W.P)-Naco
resumed its normal routine of life
today, the Mexican revolution over
so far as it is concerned.
The rattle of musketry and crash
of aerial bombs had given way to
the tinny music of electric pianos
and jangle of cash registers after
rebel forces lifted the siege on the
beleaguered Mexican town across
the line.
Hundreds of American tourists

in this Sector.
Having routed two rebel assaults,
the federal garrison of Naco, Sonora,
took a breathing spell while insur-
rectos under General Fausto Topete
retreated southwark, leaving behind
stragglers and much equipment.
Advices indicated Topete had two
reasons for his retreat, one the de-
feat of his forces Saturday and the
other because of reverses suffered
by Generalissimo j. G. Escobar in
chihuahua. One report was that
Topete had been ordered to rejoin
the command of General Francisco
Manzo, who attempted unsuccess
fully TO capture Mazatlan on the
west coast.
1t was considered certain here
that Escobar would attempt to take
his army across the mountains to
Sonora for final stand against the
federals. This trip would take 10 or
l. days for infantry and the trail
would lead over passes 10000 feet
high

L Nit everywhere. High
compression, higher powered
motors; yet more economical,
smoother running. Nearly all
TIE cars built this last year or
two are higher compression,
among the newest and most
notable the Chevrolet six, the
announcement of which was
repeated by millions of lips.
This modern trend in mo-
tors caught many oil refners
unaware! Their fine lubri-
cants had a fault - serious
when engines were roomy in
side, but a positive menace i'll
new.type motors. This fault is
the tendency of their oils to
form flinty layers of hard car
bon. And there is no room for
carbon deposits in the new
high-compression motors.
Hard carbon causes knock
