TIMBER SUPPLY
FOR RAILROAD
IS SURVEYED
FOREST RANGER COMPLETES
SECOND SEASON’S WORK IN
LOCAL FOREST AREA
Completing this season’s work, that
of definitely locating a perpetual tim
ber supply for the Alaska Railroad
w'ithin a unit in the Chugach National
forest, in the near vicinity to the rail
road, H. J. Lutz, forest service timber
cruiser, passed thru Seward Satui*day
en route to the Cordova office of the
forest service.
The Forest Service last year began
a study of timber areas in the local
forest with the aim fo aHoting a unit
to the Alaska Railroad embracing suf
ficient timber for its requirements in
perpetuity. It started cruising and
mapping in order to have on hand ac
curate anti definite information as to
acreage and quantity of timber with
related data on topographic condi
tions affecting cutting and transpor
tation. It is expected that at least
another season will be required to
complete the survey.
While in the Prince William Sound
district the past summer, Forester
Lutz conducted an investigation of the
blight which has been attacking the
forests near and around this section.
Observing the pest this summer,
Mr. Lutz said he learned that it is
a bud work, working mainly on last
year’s growth, two or three inches
from the endss of the twigs. He first
noticed it in the larvae stage early
in June, while about the first of the
present month he saw it in the
adult stage, a brown moth, which
has been plentiful in this vicinity
lately. The moth is now laying its
eggs in the tips of the branches and
will pass the winter in that form.
This is the first season it has
been noticed here and Mr. Lutz be
lieves no appreciable damage will
be done unless the insect remains at
least three or four years in succes
sion, not usually the case with this
type of pest. However, some of the
very young trees have already been
killed.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle the world
famous scientist who has made a spec
ialty of psychical research, while at
the Paris International Congress of
Spiritualists, held recently. Delegates
from almost every country in Europe
and America were present. i
Mr. Lutz believes that the pest
which has attacked the alders is not
the same type, as it appears to be
a leaf miners, burrowing into the
epidermis and eating the green in
side.
Several specimens of both the trees
and the worms which have attacked
them have been forw'arded to the for
estry laboratory at Madison, Wiscon
sin, for further advice on the treat
ment of the blight.
In the preliminary investigation
conducted by the department here,
Mr. Pratt of the Cordova office, stat
ed that though over 75 per cent of
the hemlock and spruce trees had been
attacked by these worms, the young
trees were the most susceptible to the
blight. The worm attacks the termi
nal buds of the trees and prevents any
further growth, besides damaging the
wood.

WHAT MY NEIGHBOR SAYS
is of Interest to Seward Folks.
When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and other
kidney ills—and has found relief from
all this sickness and suffering, that
person’s advice is of untold value to
friends and neighbors. The following
case is only one of many thousands.
Who could ask for a better example?
Mrs. R. V. Rowe, Box 683, Juneau,
Alaska, says: “I was in bad shape
from kidney complaint I had terri
ble pains in my back. Mornings I
could hardly move and it took some
time to styaigliten my back. I tired
easily and didn’t feel like doing
my housework. I was nervous and
couldn’t sit still at time. I read
about Doan’s Pills and after using
three boxes I felt like myself again.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pill—the same that Mrs.
Rowe had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,
