TRACTOR LESSENS COST
HAULING WOOD ON YUKON
"A notable Instance of what the
^aodem tractor can do In winter1
work, and possibly the lirst demon
stration of the capabilities of such
a machine in the sub-Arctic," says
ttfae Dawaoa Xefna, "is Qi&t of the
steam tractor which Jia# fceoii en
gagged this winter on, Hunker creek
hauiing wood for the Yukon Gold
companyj I
| "in twelnty days the tractor
haulrd 2,000 cordg of wood seven
and a half miles, taking it from
th^ Klondike river bank, to 47
below on Hunker. Each day the
machine made four roiund trips, a
total of sixty miles in twenty-four
hcurs, traveling two and a half
miles an hour. After the machine
yas adjusted and it was fuliy un-!
derstood, it hauled the wood for
J2.75 a cord, or just half of what
the cost was in hauling with teams.
It delivered in a day 140 cards.
<"Ithe reduction in t|he fuel costs
for thawing frozen placer ground,
as pointed out by Mr. JIciFarland,
under the new system, will be .$3 j
tot ?4J a cord! cxn. wood, fwhich, will
work a tremendous saving in| dredge
operations, and go far toward mak
ing lower grade gravels workable
and fhus prolong the life of dredg
ing companies in the North."
REPORTS ROADS "BETTER
THAN EVER" ON YUKON
"A Gustaveaon, of Canyon, creek
ou the Fortvmlle," says the Daw
son News, "reports the road along
the Yukon the best he ever saw It
at this late part or the season.
"The old Atwater dredge, located
at the mouth of Franklin gulch,
known as the richest producer of
the old Fortymlle streams," says
Gustaveaon, "la being got ready by
Messrs. Carlson and- Nessler for
operations this season. It looks 03
though the dredge has three years'
work there, and It should be a
success as the pay there for dredg
ing ia reported rich.
"Some pro-Gormans were quite
noisy in the Fortymlle district when
the war broke out, and, as they
were on thQ American side, they
could keep on talking when not
rapped on the nose, as they Quito
frequently were. But now that
TJncle Sam is fighting th^ Germans,
the kaiser's sympathizers in that
realm have tamed down. A good
many men left the Fortymlle recent
ly by way of Ketckumstock to go
to the war, and some prior to that
came to Dawson and enlisted."

HEALTH WORK IS
FAR FROM PERFECT
Survey Covering 219 Cities
Shows It Is Still In Infancy.
WIDE RANGE IN THE COST.
(oma Cities 8pend Much More lror
Their Board* of Health Than Other*.
One-fifth of the Cities Make No
Medical Inspection of 8ohoo! Chil
dren—Few Have Coherent Programs.
A comprehensive survey covering 219
cities of the United States having
more than 25,000 population has been
made of the activities of the health de
partments by Frank Schneider, Jr., of
the department of surveys and exhibits
of the Russell Sage foundation. His
report Is now being circulated by the
foundation.
Mr. Schneider's conclusion Is that
public health work Is still In Its Infan
cy, In some cities more than In others.
He suggests a minimum expenditure
per capita by the health departments.
This should range from 50 cents to >1,
according to tho size of the cities. He
has found that some cities spend as
high as 08 cents per capita and others
&.e content with 4 cents.
Une-nrtti or tne _'rj cineB mane au
Inspection of school children, he found;
one-tlilrd did not offer the ordinary
laboratory diagnoses for the common
er communicable diseases; one-fourth
made no effort to educate In health
matters; nearly three-fourths had no
housing law; nlneteen-twentleths had
no concern with the hygleno off Indus
try; one-half had no proper organiza
tion to combat Infant mortality, and
more than three-quarters had no co
herent program against tuberculosis.
Efficiency Wat Not Considarcid.
Mr. Schneider lays emphasis on the
fact that his survey made no attempt
to consider the efficiency of the work
attempted, but only whether or not it
was attempted.
"When we reflect on the partial thor
oughness with which their slender
staffs compel them to perform their
work," the report says, "the conclusion
becomes inevitable that public health
work in this country is still In its In
fancy, certainly as far as application
of established scientific methods is con
cerned.
"Another striking result of the inves
tigation is the variation in activity ex
hibited by health departments in dif
ferent sections of the country. The
southern and Pacific cities clearly out
rank the others, and the north central
and mountain cities are markedly la
ferlor.
"One other point should receive all
possible emphasis—the relations be
tween these examples of municipal
neglect aud the scanty health depart
ment appropriations. What can we
expect of a department In a city of
25,000 whose total appropriation is but
$200? And If the New York city de
partment uses 58 cents for each inhab
itant each year and has to practice
great care to make it go round what
can our average city do on only 22
cents? Again, do any real differences
In local conditions require that Seattle
spend 98 cents an inhabitant each year
while Woonsocket may rest content
with 4 cents?"
DRIFTED ACROSS THE PACIFIC.
Eight Japanese Land at British Colum
bia After Twenty-four Days.
A story of eight Japanese fishermen
who drifted all the way ncross the Pa
cific ocean In a small fishing boat, land
ing after twenty-four days of hard
ships on the British Columbian shore,
reached the bureau of navigation in
consular dispatches.
The narrative tells how the fisher
men, caught off the harbor of Sblmoda,
Japan, In a storm that cnrrled away
their vessel's mainmast and rudder,
were driven eastward by ocean cur
rents, helpless, and how toward the
end of their trip they were half starved.
The boat grounded on one of the small
uninhabited Islands that dot the Brit
ish Columbian shore, where the men
remained until picked up by a passing
steamer.
Only one of the party, the owner of
the boat, suffered any serious ill ef
fects from the trip. lie Is now in a
Prince Rupert hospital."
The boat was of the type common
along the Japanese coast, fitted with
cooking utensils. It became water
logged in the storm that stripped it of
sails, and after first attempts the Jap
anese made no further effort to direct
Its course.
SELLER OF DRINK MUST PAY.
8aloonkeeper, Sued, Must Pay $2,500
For Death of His Patron.
A Jury in Philadelphia has returned
a verdict of S2.MX) In favor of Mrs.
Virginia Alexander against Jacob
Bosch, the proprietor of a saloon. She
had sued to recover for the death of
her husband, who, she claimed, died
In March, 1914, after two years of ex
cessive use of intoxicants, the ma
jority of which, she ullegcd, had been
sold to him by Bosch, despite her
pleadings.
The suit was brought under the pro
visions of the act of 1S54 which makes
it unlawful for a saloonkeeper to fur
nish liquor to a man of known Intem
perate habits and provides that he can
be held liable for damages. This is
the first case of its kind.
