Health Officer, Seattle. H,ash: Make your vac

the health officer here to be that the health
authorities have had smallpox suspects in
charge and that some of them have es-
capped, coming doubtless to Seattle.
Twenty cases are now at the pesthouse
and none at the suspect house. Three
will be discharged from the pesthouse this
morning, leaving total of seventeen
there. Six of these are convalesoent.
Vaccination on incoming trains on the
Great Northern and Lake Shore roads

antined against Snohomish.
