BY AIR TO ALASKA
The army air service has shown
commendable initiative in arranging
for the flight by army fliers from
New York City to Nome, Alaska
which has had such good success so
far. Four airplanes are being used in
the flight of the army fliers who are
blazing the pioneer trail from New
York to Nome, a distance of 8960
miles. The vast stretches of the Can
adian rockies, and the wilderness of
the interior of Alaska, have never be
fore been the field for a similar test
of the skill and daring of the twen
tieth century airmen. The difficul
ties to be overcome in the New York
Alaska flight are, in a real sense,
of the same brand that faced the con
tinent-conquering frontiersmen of the
eighteenth and early nineteenth cen
turies. There are the same perils that
come to those who venture into an
imperfectly known wilderness. There
are the same hazards of storms, and
the treachery of the elements. The
danger of Indian ambush and attack
alone has been spared the army avia
tors who started their flight some
time ago from New York, a fact
which is counterbalanced, in some de
gree, by the mechanical perils of
science in its infancy.
The New York-Nome flight will re
sult in bringing far-away Alaska
closer than ever before to the United
States. The success of the army flight
will demonstrate the feasibility of
direct and regular air communication
to Alaska. It will make easier the es
tablishment of commercial and postal
air routes, by which the inhabitants
in the remote fastnesses of Alaska
will be able to get news and mail
from the United states while both
are fresh. By present means of com
munication, most points in Alaska are
approximately thirty days from the
United States. If established, com
munication by air would be possible
in but a fraction of this time, to the
great profit and joy of the American
citizens who live under the Stars and
Stripes in far-off Alaska.
In trying to prove the practica
bility of air communication with the
north, the army air force is rendering
a real service to the American nation.
It is demonstraing, in practical fash
ion, that the army is not something
apart from the nation, unrelated to
its' daily life. On the contrary, the
army is revealed as dedicated to the
services of the American people, in
peace no less than in war. Such
flights as these give promise of ad
vancing materially the well-being of
the 1,00.000,000 and more persons
who owe allegiance to the American
flag. At the same time, they help
to keep up a high pitch of profes
sional fitness among our army fliers,
and maintain their preparedness to
meet the supreme test of war.—Bos

ALASKA NEWSPAPERS TAKE
NOTE!
This morning the Chronicle re
ceived the first political telegram
of the season, telling of the arrival
of Dan Sutherland, candidate to con
gress, at Anchorage, saying that he
had visited all construction camps
along the railroad line and further giv
ing the information that he will be
in Anchorage for a matter of ten days.
This dispatch came collect and was
paid for by the Chronicle. It is the
first probably of a long list of polti
cal telegrams that will'be sent out in
the interest of the several candidates,
for wThich the Chronicle will be ex
pected to pay the tolls.
So notice is served to all concerned
that the Chronicle does not in
tend to pay the campaign expenses
of any of the candidates, nor to pay
telegraph tolls on their campaign
propaganda stuff. In the first place
it isn’t a political sheet and it does
not believe that its readers are vitally
interested in whether eight miners on
Hard Luck Gulch listened to Bill
Spiven. the popular candidate for dog
catcher with great interest or
■whether they didn’t. If they mobbed
him it might make a story worthy
of the telegraph toll.
So, notice is served that the
Chronicle will not pay these political
telegraphic tolls and newspapers
throughout the territory are asked to
refrain from sending them unless they
are asked for especially, or unless
the candidate himself or his boosters
wish to send the messages paid.
The first political rule of the
Chronicle office is that all political
advertising must be paid for in ad
vance. The second rule is that all
political telegrams must be paid foi
by the politicians.
Of course, when occassion arises
that there is a real news story in con
neetion. the Chronicle will be glad tc
receive the information in the usual
wray and pay for the telegraphic ex
pense.-*-Ketchikan Chronicle.
BAMBOO THRIVES
IN SUNNY SOUTH
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. l(i (by As
soeiated Press).—Eight years ago Ed
ward A. Mcllhenny of Avery Island
was commissioned to the United
States bureau of plant production tc
experiment in growing of Chinese and
Japanese bamboo so as to determine
the best varieties that may be grown
in the south. He is no.v about tc
make his report to the government
regarding his forests. The bamboo
Mr. Mcllhenny says, at times reaches
a height of 60 or 70 feet in three
v c eks.
According to the experimenter, one
of the most satisfactory growths oi
bamboo have been the phyllostachys
pubescens, valuable as timber and par
ticularly relished for eating. The tern
der shoots, when six or eight inches
above ground, may be eaten as a sal
ad and are also used in other euli
nary ways. Another edible variety is
the phyllostachys henryi.
Exclusively timber varieties include
the phyllostachys puberula (Japanese
hachiku) and phyllostachys quiloi
both of which were found to thrive
in the state of Louisana. They are
said to be adapted for house timbers
telephone and telegraph poles and for
boat spars.
“The four varieties are hardy and
do well in Louisana and will stand a
temperature of zero, growing rapidly
to perfection in Southern alluvial
soils,” said Mr. Mcllhenny. “In my
opinion these four species of bamboc
! are destined to play an important part
j in Southern Louisana agriculture.” ..

TOM-TOMS BE AT
WHILE INDIANS
DO WAR DANCE
N__
POCATELLO, Idaho, Aug. 16 (by
Associated Press).—Every year in
mid-summer the Bannock Indians trav
el a little used trail to their dancing
grounds. Between eight hundred and
a thousand of them gather yearly to
worship the sun.
In the vast quiet of the evening
j when the hush has fallen over the sage
j brusj} and the sun is a great ball of
I red fire sinking behind the mountains,
the dreary beat of their tom-toms and
the low ghostly chant of their song
can be heard for miles. The sound
grows in strength as one approaches j
until with a great burst of glaring;
campfires and seeming confusion the
camping grounds are reached. Indians
in their native garb are everywhere,
hideous in their war-paints and with
glistening naked bodies.
In the center of a corral made from
limbs of trees stands a pole. Back
against the walls are the dancers and
the chanters in rhymn to the beat of
of the toms-toms beat by the squaws.
The dance is a religious and festival
of thanks to the Gods for bountiful
crops and herbs, streams full of fish
I and the sky full of fowls.
Now and then one falls to the
ground unconscious from physical ex
haustion and is carried to the side to
I recover.
