 PASSENGERS ON EVANS

On Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Lydia Fohn-H Hansen, of the Alaska College Extension Service, will give a demonstration at Brown & Hawkins on the cold pack and oven methods of canning local vegetables and berries.
 The canned products will be given to those holding the win ming numbers. The jellies and jams prepared on Tuesday will be sampled and composed for flavor and texture. Government bulle- tins on canning will be distributed.
 A number of ladies have taken advantage of the morning sewing classes at the parsonage, and Thursday morning will be the last opportunity for help with sewing, as Mrs. Fohn- Hansen will leave Friday morning for Moose Pass and Hope.
 The kindly cooperation of those who have assisted in making the meetings success is much appre- ciated, especially the use of the Flamo Range at Brown & Haw- kins, and the use of the parson- age for sewing classes.

 Hundreds of thousands of men and women would immediately find work, with the lifting of the cursed dry law; manufacturers of every description would new production greatly enlarged scale; farmers would be given rightfu relief in fact overnight the would vanish.
 Farms and orchards would again blossom; farm terial and supplies would be purchased; industries of every description would furnish clothing machinery, lumber and boxes bottes glassware siverware, ]inen automobiles trucks in fact, just about every item in daily would again attain the market pinnacle of former years. Ponder for moment this reader, hibition, you will undoubtedly think of many ben efcal things accruing from the falling of the liquid bars
 Prohibtionists probably prefer blood to liquor; that's what they have been standing for by their att tude Is unemployment better than permitting one to exercise his personal right of drinking? Is it better to men, and children starve rather than permit legal drinking of beverages of alcoholic content?
 It is about time to do away with this alleged noble experiment. The country has eXperimented long enough and in it's history has such corrupt bloody page been recorded
 Finally is it better for the scum of the earth to rule country-racketeers and corrupt public officials those who seek to uphold the dignity and integrity of not only the constitution but their daily lives? and want by doing away with the prohibition laws.

POISON BAIT FOR
KILLING EARWIos

The County Agricultural Agent has
lately received many lnquIrles from
parties In and near Scat.le, wishing
TO eradicate earwlgs. Satisfactory con-

prepared bait II this bait IL properly
prepared and applied. Apparently the

growth and although very few rcports
of earwig infestation were received
during 1880, there are considerable

this spring,
There are few prepared earwig

these have proven Ut least fairly efflc-

Mix thoroughly at the rate Of pounds

be dusty to handle but damp enough
to crumble Into small particles when
thrown. Best results are obtained II
the mixture Is prepared ut the time
application Is to be made. In other
words freshly prepared bait Is most
efficient.
Application should be made on a
warm dry evening. A second applica-
ton may be necessary the last Of July,
Usually best results are obtained by
batting after Q p. m. Scatter on the

bait will break into fine particles and
will not be dangerous for birds, dogs

The above formula and information
were given out during the earwig
campaign, in 1928, and will be found
as efficient as any at present known.

COUNTY GETTING
$4,000 A WEEK
IN BACK TAXES
Half Million Likely Figure
on Delinquency for
This Year.

Spurred by the passing Of the
tax wagon through city streets,
collection of delinquent taxes is
bringing $4,000 a week into the
county treasurer, it was revealed
today by c. o. Harris, chief deputy
treasurer.
More than 100000 of approx
mately 100000 taxes delinquent
has been collected since the tax
wagon was sent forth three weeks
ago by John d. Henderson, deputy
treasurer in charge of collections.
A total of S926,000 taxes went de-
hnquent this year, plus $153, 900 I'M
paid last year.
County officials say the council
meeting this week must provide
more than 100000 to meet a deficit
on operating expenses of the county
government. Minus penalties, the
county gets one-third of delinquent
collections, the other two-thirds 60
ing to the city and state.
1--WE are doing well with our col
lections,'' Henderson said, ''but con-
sidering the large amount OF money
outstanding, collections are poor this
year."
Henderson estimates that the
county will fail to collect about
100000 of its taxes this year.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Z. - The
fact that a number of the recent
destructive forest fires in western
states are definitely known to have
been started by pyromaniacs-
fiends who deliberately set fire to
timber-has made significant, fig
ures from the United States forest
service here which show that 1900
of the $500 CONGREGATIONS in ma
tional forests last year were of in
cendiary origin.
Up to the latter part of last
month, more than half of the total
number of this years fires in these
forests, 5000 out of 1922, were due
to mans action, whether careless or
on purpose. Lightning is held re-
Sponsible for the remainder of the
number.
The present season is turning out
to be one of the worst fire years
in the history of the forest service.
A total area of 385, 1853 acres has
been burned over in the national
forests since Jan. l, the latest sum-
mary shows.
Three hundred thousand of these
acres are in western states, and, of
them, idaho is at present suffering
the greatest losses.
The severity of conditions this
past summer is brought out in a
