Preserving of the life of telephone
poles and other timber exposed to the
elements is receiving the earnest at
tention of engineers and scientists Of
the Bell Telephone Laboratories.
Millions of poles are used by tele-
phone and telegraph companies. Be-
cause of the scarcity of suitable timber
for this purpose, it is essential that
the life of poles be heightened wher-
ever possible. One of the purposes Of
these experts is the development Of
preservatives which will bring this
about. The results obtained could also
we'll apply to fence posts, exposed pill
ing, and similar timber supports.
The field laboratories work is being
carried on at Madison, Wis, where
about 500 pole stubs are being tested.
These stubs represent about twenty
varieties Of treatment. Data covering
periods Of exposure up to five years
have been obtained, according to
Robert E. Waterman, writing in the
Bell Laboratories Record. Indications
resulting from records obtained, Mr..
Waterman states, show that a we'll.
chosen creosote is the best available
preservatiye for the purpose used, but
it has been revealed that there are
many opportunities for further per-
fecting creosoting practices.
Few people know, according to Mr..
Waterman that the rotting of wood,
although promoted by moisture and
warmth, is caused exclusively by the
actions of organisms of the fungus
type which use the wood as food. Yet
it Is this fact which determines the
means of wood preservation. Treat
ment must be introduced into wood in
the form of fungicide which will re-
main there for decades in spite of
exposure to sun, wind, rain and soil
moisture. This must be done at
cost so moderate that the extension Of
the life of the wood is economically
profitable.
Creosoted timber has acquired an
excellent reputation and is often ac-
cepted by construction engineer -
the last word in durability. At tle
beginning of the creosoting industry,
creosote was so cheap and abundant,
and the possible extension Of life Of
wood under favorable circumstances
was so great, that few questioned what
kind of creosote should be used and
how much.
New wood preservatives are con-
stantly coming on the market, and
creosote is changing in character.
Creosote is by-product of the car
bonization of coal. The kind Of coal
tar available depends on the changes
in practice from year to year which
are found to improve the yield, quality
and cost. .........

Yes, It is better to have a Cavalry
Moustache and a Saint Bernard Voice
than to fathom the Mysteries Of Sci
ence or explore the Beauties of Litera-
ture. Every time that Zeb repeats
something which he just read in the
indianapolis Paper, all the Bystanders
shake their Heads and admit that the
Geezer sure is Deep.
The only Approach to real Wisdom
that Zeb has shown is in keeping the
Trap closed for Days at time. He
has a positive Genius for long and
eloquent Bursts of Silence.
While this Vesuvius of Statesman
ship is merely smoldering instead Of
Spouting, he is still majestic, awe
inspiring and suggestive of an i'm
mense Reserve Power.
Always the Brow is furrowed like
Wash-Board, and those who timidly
gaze up at the Giant in repose know
that Zebulon is meditating. Which is
true. He is trying to decide whether
to go up to the House and partake Of
Bon Ton Cafeteria and order an OyS-
ter Stew. Zeb figures carefully on
every momentous Issue until he knows
he is right.
Lii, as single-handed worker, Is
a Ball of Fire and a Demon for
Speed. Zeb has learned, by consistent
Avoidance of Dangerous Responsible
ties, to let his Associates saw all Of
the Wood, and take all Of the Risks,
In his Political Maneuvers, Legal Bat
ties and Business Transactions he
permits his humble Henchmen to WELD
the Pick and Shovel while he pro-
vides the Scenic Background. Then,
if anybody pulls Boner, he is there
with Bushel Of Regrets and COM
plete Alibi. In all Of his Career he
never got into such tight Corner
that he couldn't pass the Buck. Prov
ing that Celebrity may be an In
tellectual Lightweight and yet have
some useful Animal Instincts.
Zebulon is a positive Wow when 1t
comes to delivering an Address Of
Welcome. One does not have to know
anything in order to hand out a few
well-chose Words Of Greeting. In
fact, any Speaker who Is loaded up
with Facts and an elementary Sense
Of Humor probably could not make
good in serving all Of that hot Hokum
and Gravy to a bunch Of Kioodles
wearing Badges.
Lie believes in bawling out the
Boobs and Zeb has made it a Rule
to massage them with perfumed Oint-
ment. So Life is trying to get job
as Travelling Salesman and Zeb Is hav-
ing his Portrait painted by a City
Artist, and after the Thing is done
the Federated Clubs are going to buy
it and hang it in the Public Library
between Washington and Lincoln, but
Zeb will have larger and more
gilded Frame than those accorded the
other two Eminent Americans.

MARCH A BAD MONTH FOR
SICKNESS, REPORTS SHOW
5672 Cases Reported to State
During March, 1892

glance through the reports of the
State Department of Health will show
that there are good" months and
bad" ones, so far as sickness from
reportable diseases and death are con.
cerned. March has a particularly bad
reputation. So has January, especial.
ly during an influenza year. On the
other hand, September, August and
June are the months when the least
sickness is reported.
The records show that in 1880 and
again in 1882, March had the great
est amount of sickness from report
able diseases and the largest number
of deaths of any month during either
year. 1t also was the "bad" month of
1881 for deaths. January had that
distinction in 1929 as to both sickness
and deaths, and in 1881, it had the
highest number of cases of notifable
diseases reported. Influenza was
prevalent, both years.
There were 5,672 cases of sickness
from notifable diseases, reported to
the State Department of Health dur
ing March of 1882, or approximately
one seventh of the total reported dur
ing the entire year, and 2,165 deaths
or about one tenth of the total report
ed during the twelve months.
Speaking of seasonal sickness,
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health said: NEARLY
all of the catching diseases have
certain seasonal prevalence. For ex-
ample, typhoid fever and digestive
ailments among young children are
more likely to occur during the sum-
mer than during the winter months,
though all of them may occur at any
time. The so-called children's diseases
usually flare up in the fall soon after
the schools open and continue thru
out the fall and winter months. The
respiratory diseases - the diseases
that effect the air passages, such as
colds, influenza, bronchitis and pneu-
monia, are especially prevalent during
tbc winter months.
>ver fifty diseases, all of them
Communicable, that is Catching are
on the reportable, or notifable list.
The list includes such diseases as in
huenza, pneumonia, scarlet fever,
diphtheria, humps, chicken pox, ty-
phoid fever, tuberculosis as we'll as
other diseases that occur less fire.
quently. Physicians attending per-
sons ill with such ailments are expect
ed to report their occurrence to the
nearest health officer or the State De-
partment of Health, so that State and
county health officers, in turn, may
take whatever steps--are necessary to
check the spread of the diseases.
1.-THE months that have bad rec
ord for sickness are those during
which we may expect uncertain or un-
favorable weather. March belongs in
this class. We can't alter the weather
but we can do everything in our power
to keep we'll, and to strengthen our
powers of resistance to disease. This
year, in particular, to Offset the under
lying anxiety and concern, we need to
take every possible precaution to keep
in good physical condition and to
carry on to the very best of our
ability"

ONE OF LEV EEIEST OF REAL
 SOURnOUGHS OF ALASKA

Under the caption "OldLTrail Blazer Visits Anchorage" the.-z Anchorage Times speaks as follows of Edward Duncan Ralston, well knuwnn resinn dent of McGrath:
 Edward DuncannSRa Ralston, yone nf the liveIisst of the lSai sourdoughs of Alaska-4forty=six :Nears in the lanu of the Midnight Sur-is in Anchorage Q today, shaking itands with others of the early vintage, and meetinng che chacps and 61dumers on every hand. Despite his long acareer in the IN ortn. he still has the spirit Of youth and means to take wings early nnext week and push back into the great Alaska hinterland fors another winter in the Innterior.
 "This indpaniLable veteran came to Alaska in 1886, and then became a member ofA the Jumeaufe Order of Alaska Pioneers, of whom about. only six members survive. In 1895 he was at Fprtymile; zand had the> honor of then nparticipating in the organiza- sion ofs3the Yukon, Order of Pioneers, and became one of it's charter mem- bers Something like 40 men formed the lodge as then organized, with the famous Jack McQuesten as its first president. Captain William D. Moore, who lived IA years in the Yukon. Val ley and was on the Alaska coast long befor. going 3tintos the Interior; also was a member of the famous old or der, and he and Ralston had a happy reunion today. Ralston last nights Nat- tended. the Anchorage Igloo of < the Pioneers of Alaska and there met a number of other eoldtimers, some of whom also were members of the " 4u- kon Order at. Fertymile. Among those members now in Anchorage are Jack Kennally, whose brother discovered the Circle digginys, and James Clinic, who was long a member of the Ram part lgloo.
 "Mr. Ralston last evening also at tended the frolic of the Ice Worms, and was introduced as An Ice Worm who joined the order in 1895 in the old gold rush days He gave sour doughs throughout the Northland a cheery greeting over the air.
 "Mr. Ralston has been in the hos pital at Seward the last two months, and is now in fine condition again, and is en route back to McGrath, where he makes his headquarters with the Alaska Rivers Navigation Company, headed by Captain Wallace Langley, operating on the Kuskokwim river"

tional protection for the introduced buffalo ranging in that section.
 This modification of the Big Delta or McCarty closed area will open for hunting the region around Beaps Cache, the closing of which has been the principal complaint of some of the Fairbanks residents.
 Bear Protection
 With the present liberal provision n the regulations permitting a resi- ent to protect his person and prop orty from attack or moiestation by .arge brown and grizzly bears, the Commission believes that these .an- mals are entitled to the protection of summer close season when their hides are of no value as trophies. A lose season from June 20 to Septem- Der 1 has been recommended to apply to both resident and nonresident hunt CTS in the coastal range of the large brown bear. This range includes Southeastern Alaska, the coastal damage and islands in the Prince William Sound region, Kehai Penin- sula, the drainage to the west side of Cook Inlet south of the Swentna river, the Kodiak Island group and the Alaska Peninsula.
 Bear hunting in Alaska is attract ing annually larger number of big game hunnters who spend many thou lands of dollars in wages for guides, packers, helpers, supplies and equip n4ent. Many of these hunters have also become interested in mining and have invested largely in Alaska prop critics.
 No change was made in sregula- tons affecting bears in other DOT tionns of the Territory.
 Guides.
 The only changes in regulations .af- fecting guides were slight modifica- tions to clarify the meaning of cer- tain nprovisions.
 Fur-Bearers
 One or two slight notifications were made in trapping seasons to ad- just open and closing dates to con- form more clearly to climatic condi- tions.
 The Commission is favorable to- 9 continuance of the open season q on beaver during the spring of 1884, but definite recommendations will. l.he. post poned until the results of the open season for 1883 can be ascertained. Extension of the open season for 1883 was announced by the Commission several weeks ago.
 Predatory Animals.
 The Commission adopted a resolu- tion asking for Federal assistance in the war on predatory animals, con- tending that the annual kill of game by wolves and coyotes is several times that of hunters and .trappers; that the depredations of the coyote in particular have cause great .curtail- ment in the normal catch. of fur bearers.

ANNUAL SESSION ALASKA
 GAME COMMISSION ENDED

JUNEAU, Dec. 9.-The ninth reg ular session of the Alaska Game Con- . mission adjourned here yesterday. The meeting was largely taken up with routine matters, and fewer rec concentrations for changes in regula- tions were made than at previous meetings.
 The recommended changes in game ard fur regulations, when approved by the Secretary of Agriculture, will . become effective for the season of 1932-33 and will be announced in de- tal in Game Law Circular No. 10, which will be issued early next spring and circulated throughout the Terri :. tory.
 Migratory Bird Recommendations
 Responsive to requests of chambers ( of commerce in the towns of South es-sy-.l- alaska, the Commission adopted a resolution asking the Ad @visory Board, Migratory Bird Treaty :, Act, and the Department of Agricul- < ture to zone the Territory and estab- fish open seasons for the taking of migratory birds at more suitable : time. The Commissions resolution asks for one zone to include South { eastern Alaska east of the Hist me- . ridian where the open season should be from noon September 20 to Mo- yember 20, and the remainder of the Territory west of the 141st meridian in another zone, with an open season from noon, September 1 to October 31, as long as the 6O-day open season eis retained.
 The opening of the season at moon is required throughout the United States and Alaska under the provi- sions of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act regulations.
 Kinder the treaty with Cannada, September 1 is the earliest date that the season can be opened in Western United States and Canada.
 Realizing the desirability of an earlier opening date in the northern part of Alaska, the Commission pass ed resolution six years ago asking that if and when the Treaty Act is resumed provision be made to per- init the opening of a season in North ern Alaska on August 15. This re- quest is still on record with the De- partment, and will undoubtedly re- ceive favorable consideration when the treaty is is revised, as it is un- derstood some of the northern prov inces of Canada have made a similar request.
 Game Refuges.
 The Commission again endorsed the proposed establishment of a national park to include the present Glacier Bay National Monument with adjoin- ing areas. There is but little com- mercial development in the proposed park region. With it's plentiful sup ply of game and birds, including con- siderable numbers of large brown and grizzly bears, added to the many un- Usual natural scenic wonders, it is believed the park would soon become $ one4of tn eoutstanding tourist attrac- tions in Alaska and serve admirably as game refuge to assure the per petuation of the large bears about which there is so much apprehension in the States.
 The southern boundary of the Big Delta Game Refuge is to be changed . from, Nile .257 on the Richardson Highway to Mile 269, reducing the size of the area from 23 miles of high { way to II miles. This refuge was established last year to provide addi-
