ASSOCIATED PRESS TELEGRAPHIC REPORT''.
AN( HORACE, ALASKA. SATURDAY, JULY 22,1916,
The near-capture of Villa is again reported, but the Mexi
can bandit is -till at large.
Anchorage is becoming a city of automobiles and the agi
tation for good roads should not be allowed to las for a mo
ment.
Two steamer- are in port today, having brought many
j>a--emier- t >r her. as well a- a large number of round-trip
per-.
Xow that the prohibitioni-ts have named their presiden
tial candidate the campaign should be on in earue>t.
Talkeetna i- rapidly becoming a camp of considerable im
portance, and while there is nothing to justify a stampede or
a boom it- population is on the increase and a number of busl
nes- houses have been established there.
Whenever a new camp springs up along the line of the
railroad the Daily Time- circulator is promptly on the ground
taking the subscriptions of those desiring to keep informed by
reading Alaska’s largest and l>est newspaper.
Local base ball fans “will match with intere-t the career oi
the great and mighty Christy Matthewson a- manager of the
Cincinnati national league team. For years he was the idol
of the New York Giants and pitched that club to many a vie
tory.
With the completion of the new postoffice building, and
the installation of five hundred lock boxes. Postmaster Wood
will be enabled to more expeditiously handle the large volume
of mail that is received on every incoming steamer, a service
which will he duly appreciated by the public.
In Fairbanks a, hotelTnan and his wife engaged in a fam
ily fight. The man went to jail and the woman went”fo the
hospital. She got-oot first and her next act was to iro»to the
jail and get her husband out. There is no accounting for the
vagaries of the female of the species;—Douglas News.
The Anchorage Chamber-of Commerce has already Logan
the work of gathering an exhibit to represent the resources of
this section at the Seattle exposition in October and any speci
mens of ore or agricultural products will be gladly received
from the miners and ranchers of the .Mgtgmuska valley. ^
The danger of fire was forcibly brought home to our re-1
dent- this afternoon, when flames were discovered issuing from
the Riverside Hotel. Oon-iderable time was lost in getting a
stream of water into play, but fortunately the chemicals sue
cowled in quenching the flame- before any serious damage re
suited.
The residents of Matanuska Junction, which promises to
be an important plane along the government railroad, are cir
culating a petition for tin* establishment of a postoffice there,
in order that they may receive their mail more regularly. At
present the office is at Matanu.-ka and as most of the people in
that section now live at the Junction there is no good reason
why 1 nde Sam should not make the deviled change in the
post office. _
■t~~ The naming of an all -tar Anchorage team, from the array
of ball players here, is exciting considerable interest and when
the final selection is made it is believed that the club picked
will be able to give a good account of itself in the serie- of
games to be played at Seward next month.
"K ‘ *" ... — •• '
The name of Shackleford’s candidate for attorney-general,
George Schofield, may not be found on all the ballots at the
November election, as there does not appear to be any provi
sion in the new election law to certify to the nomination of
such an official, and thus the Seward convention is without
a candidate for any office.
Information conics from the First division that the repub
licans of southeastern Alaska are thinking seriously of follow
ing tin* lead of Anchorage and nominating Hon. James Wicker
sham as their candidate for delegate to congress. And why
not ? ITe is the best representative Alaska could have at Wash
ington and as his reelection \< assured all should he willing to
get on the band wagon and ride.
Delegate AN ickersluun is making a hard fight, before the
committee on merchant marine and fisheries, to save the Alas
kail fisheries from monopoly hv the fish trust, in his opposition
to house hill No. 0528, which take- away from'the territory of
Alaska the right, to tax the shore property of the canneries and
tin* other real estate belonging to the fishing interests. He
claims that it amounts to nearly $35,000,000 and if the hill re
ferred to becomes a law it will result in the transfer of the title
of the fisheries from the people of Alaska to the representatives
of the fish trust.

Mr. ‘ Billy" Normlle and family,

fellow men is the greatest reward
i in this world one can have. Good
luck to Mr. Normiie and family.

THE MOSQUITO THAT HELPED RUIN ROME IS
AFTER YOU.
Malaria is said to have hastened the downfall of Jtome.
The mosquitoes which transmitted it were more deadly to
the inhabitants of the Imperial city than their barbarian ene
mies. Much also has been written of similar injury to Greece
in yet earlier times.
-U lea-t two diseases are carried by certain species Qf mo
squitoes; malaria and yellow,fever, All species a«e disagreea
ble pests.
llave you unwittingly-permitted mosquitoes to breed about
your house or grounds! SEyjiv one old tomato can halflMed
. by rain makes an ideal breeding ground. It is surprising how
j many hidden pools one can find around a place if you really go
ion a hunt. T '
• Not infrequently drain pipes become clogged and then tin
roof- and gutters afford an unsuspected breeding place for
-thousands of mosquitoes, •:say yiL?.
Communities tliat suffer from these peats should cooper
ate to campaign effectively against them.
Even the smallest adjacent pools should lie filled up or
jdiiched and drained. If these are too larg^to be filled they
‘ should be treated with petroleum, This floats atop the Water
, md kills the mosquito larvae by shutting off the atmosphere.
W hen the wind causes a movement of the water which breaks
ip the oil coating it must he re-oiled. Swamps can be sinu
arly treated.
A survey should be made of all premises. Rain barrels
should be covered. Tin cans or discarded vessels on rubbish
pil< - should he perforated, smashed flat or buried.
