A Valuable Compilation of Vital Sta

House to House Inspection Ably Dis

The third annual report of the Board of
Health has been prepared by the secretary
Mr.. George c. Burgess. We present below
an abstract Of this very valuable paper:
The character of the work done the pres
ent year has not differed essentially from
shat of our predecessors. The Board has
held thirty meetings since its organization,
besides many meetings for informal confer
ence. The basis Of much Of it's action has
been complaints made to the secretary or in
spector, requesting investigation to be made
into alleged nuisanees; but the house-to-
house inspections have continued in those
sections Of the city where circumstances or
surroundings have made it seem desirable.

Something is the matter with the Demo-
catic party in Rockland. They have nomi-
mated for mayor Mr.. Albert c. Gay, lime
manufacturer who is described by the Opin-
ion, the local Democratic organ. as capa-
BILE. successful and personally popular man.
but the Opinion, though its ear is constantly
to the ground, has become aware OF no lndl-
cations 'of any purpose on the part OF the
Democratic leaders to make serious effort
to wrest the city government from the Re-
publicans"; and concluded that this state
OF things can only arise from local leader
ship that is not trusted by the masses of the
party.

the box when he pulled it open. When he
closed the box, he showed these ballots In In
under the cover and they dropped In: TO
make the lists tally with the count of the
votes, he checked up lot OF names that had
not been voted on. You must look out Tor
all such tricks this year." Several years ago
the Democrats of Lewiston were quite COM
monty supposed to be very successful in yot-

WIN. RHopEs says it would be very

Mountain and other quartz districts IN
Central Idaho. The distance from
Deadwood to Sheep Mountain Is about
forty miles, and about all the work
required to make a good wagon ROAD
is that of removing fallen timber de
saws it would not take more than ST.
600 or $500 to make a good road
from Deadwood to Sheep Mountain
So it will be readily seen that the
construction of wagon road from
