MOSQUITO EXTERMINATION
F ■'
I
The Fairbanks Exploration Co. is leading a move
ment in the Interior for the extermination of mosquitoes.
Surely this should be the signal for a commission to be
dispatched from Washington to look into the matter. If
the news ever reaches Steward Edward Green and JoJin
Holznoggle there will be a protest. It is known that the j
mosquito is the chief diet of the festive swallow. How
shall we know when spring arrives if Fairbanks kills off
all the mosquitoes and the birds are compelled to go to
Siberia? And how will fond parents know when to begin
'Closing little Johnny with calomel and molasses if there1
is no spring?
There is a scientific argument behind the mosquito.!
Jt -Serves to keep sourdoughs active, and make them get j
out and dig up the landscape rather than sit around ap
plauding bloodsuckers. They are also recommended for
reducing of fat men to a semblance of human beings,
and by extracting surplus blood reduce high-pressure.
What would happen to the Interiorites if the mos
quitoes were exterminated and a trainload of bathing
beauties struck the diggings wearing what almost aint?
There would be an explosion of pressure guages which
would make Mount Shishaldin look like a soap bubble.
Lest the esthetic Easteners beat us to it, we recom-!
mend that the Richardson Highway and a belt 100 miles
each side be created a reserve wherein no one but mos
quitoes wrould have privileges.

MRS. HANNAH BARRS
DIES AT SELDOIIIA
AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Mrs. Hannah Bahrs, formerly a
resident of Seward, passed quietly
away on the evening of May 8 at
Seldovia, according to the Seldovia
Herald. She died at the home* of
her mother, Mrs. Hannah Pederson.
The death marked the end of a
six-year illness, the last three of
! which saw Mrs. Bahrs confined to
her bed. Despite her long period
of suffering Mrs. Bahrs, who was
well known in Seward kept her
sunny cheery disposition to the
last. The funeral was held on May
11.
Mrs. Bahrs was Hannah Henri
etta Anderson, born at Bergen, Nor
way, October 17, 1907. The family
came to America before Hannah,
the youngest had quite reached the
age of five years. They made their
home in the states, later moving to
Seward and it was here that Han
nah was wed to Edwin Bahrs, in
1924. Mrs. Bahrs is survived by her
mother; a seven year old son, Ed
win, a sister, Mrs. Jessie Sutton and
two brothers, Jack and James An
derson. The former husband is a
resident of San Francisco where he
serves as radio chief at one of the!
naval radio stations.

representative, who is at present in
Anchorage received a message Mon
day giving her the sad news that
her mother had passed away at
