ACTIVE MEASURES NEEDED.

AT Saturday afternoon S session or the
Health Committee, one of the members
of the body expressed himself as being
in favor OF cutting down the number
of guards, and gave as a reason that
they could not enforce their orders in
cases where people would not Volun-
tarily obey them, because there was no
place in which such persons, exposed TO
contamination and therefore source
of danger to the community, could be
confined.
This is the sort of policy, continued
during the past eight months, when
is responsible for the present situation
in this city. What the Committee
should strive to do is to rigidly enforce
quarantine regulations and put on more
guards. and if it is necessary let place
be at once provided for the imprison-
ment OF people who fail or refuse TO
obey the regulations of the health au~
thorities and the orders of the guards.
The people are not in the humor TO
stand any more fOolishness regarding
the smallpox. They want the disease
stamped out. and the employment Of
whatever means may be necessary 10
bring about this result will be applauu>
ed alike by all classes of our citizens.
While on this point, people in inject
ed houses, or who have been exposed
10 contamination, and who have not
been vaccinated, should be put under
guard in their houses or in some place
to be provided by the city until they
submit to vaccination.
The time for halfway measures ls
past. Let the City Health Board and
the Health officer act promptly ana
energetically.

institutes result in a great deal of
benefit to the teachers" said Prof. w.
H. Anderson, Superintendent Of the
Wheeling public schools" The amount
Of valuable information which they ac-
quire depends, as a matter of course,
upon their disposition TO receive it. The
Institute of last week was we'll conduct
ed. and if the teachers gave the proper
attention they will be enabled to per-
form their work more satisfactorily du-
ring the coming term. 1t has been sta
ted that if it was optional with the
Wheeling teachers, most Of them would
not attend the Institute. l do not think
this is true Wheeling instructors will
compare favorably in every respect
with those of any other city Of approXi-
mate population"
I'VE have had enough of such leagues
as the Iron and Oil and Inter State"
said Secretary Ed. Barrows Of the
Wheeling base ball club. 1T is a mis-
take to put such cities as Wheeling and
Columbus in an organization with
towns which have no daily papers, not
sufficient population from which to
draw in the matter Of attendance. and
cities which must depend upon the pa
tronage away from home This is a
good base ball city, and will support d
good team in a good league Next year
we will have an organization, unless
our plans miscarry, which will be as
strong as any minor league in the coun-
try. It will be warked up during the
winter. and we will start mex, spring
with ten clubs, including such cities as
Wheeling. Columbus, GAINESVILLE, Day

Local Organizations Making Efforts to
Establish 1t Here.
Several of the cities around the bay are
IN active competition for the Wilmerding
School, which will be established as soon
as proper site for the building is found
and secured. Oakland and Alameda are
making special efforts to have the school
esta blished in their municipalities, but
none are more active than San Francisco.
The principal improvement clubs of this
City are determined to secure the prize if
possible.
Yesterday another meeting to this end
was held in the Mechanics Institute.
Colonel E. A. Denicke presided. There
were present Colonel E. A. Denicke of the
Mechanics Institute, Alfred Bowler of
the Half-milion Club. Hugo D. Keil OF the

was decided to accept the invitation OF
Mayor Sutro to call upon him with view
of getting a site for The Wilmerding School,
and the committee decided that they
would call upon the Mayor next Friday at

Two Young People Seek Privacy in the
Publicity of a Hotel.
G. E. Whitney came down from Wood
land yesterday and registered at the
Palace Miss Morgan came down from
Oregon and registered just under his name,
but there seemed nothing strange in that.
There was, however, for it meant we'd
ding, and Miss Morgan had come down
from Oregon to see her sister married to
the man whose name was just above
hers The bride was Miss Every Morgan
of this City.
The first thing any one around the hotel
knew of the little event was when the
Rev. George E. Walk came into the office
of the hotel He said he wanted to marry
somebody-that was, he wanted to perform
the ceremony-but he was not sure who
were to be the contracting parties The
couple was found eventually, however,
and in the strictest privacy the wedding
service was repeated. They would say
nothing about what was the cause of the
secrecy. They said only that they were
married and that Whitney had come to
the City for that purpose.

BACK FROM THE YUKON,
TWO HUNDRED MINERS RETURN
FROM THE PLACERS OF
THE NORTH.
THEY SAY THE MINES ARE RICH
BUT THE DIFFICULTIES ARE
GREAT.

Some 200 miners returned from the
placer mines on the Yukon at Forty Mile
and Birch Creek on the steamer Bertha
yesterday. Most of them brought down
gold from their washings and a majority
will return next season. None brought
large fortunes. The most that any one
had in dust was fifty pounds or about
$4,000
James Monroe, who was one of them,
and who expects to return to the mines
next season, told OF his experiences last
evening at the Grand.
"The principal reason why so many
came out was that provisions at Circle
City, our only source of supply during
the winter, were short for the number of
men who will stay there. When we left
men in the camp were allowed to purchase
only limited amounts, and of course no
fresh supplies could be taken in from the
outside until next summer"
Mr.. Monroe's account of the trip up and
the trials of the miners was not unlike
tales of early days in California. He added:
"An outfit costs $500 or $500 and the sea-
son is only about three months long, so
one needs rich gravel to make expenses.
wages are $40 day and ground that
pays So or $40 a day only will not be
touched. Lumber costs $40 thousand. 1t
costs $45 hundred pounds to get freight
from Circle City sixty miles up Birch
Creek to the mines. The mines being
worked are the shallow placers along the
creeks and at all times of the year this is
frozen at least within two feet of surface.
'There were in the different creeks this
season about 1000 men. OF course, large
number of them did not make anything,
and | would not advise any one to go there
next season to look for work. There is
considerable rich ground to be found, but
men should go in prepared to meet with
| failure for time.
There has been no prospecting done for
quartz, although there is plenty OF good
looking float
The trip up there is very hard. The
| first twenty-nine miles from Juneau TO the
head of the lakes is as hard as 200 miles
would be here. There boats are built and
| the voyage begins through the five lakes
and down TO the Yukon, at the Lewis and
Pelly junction, and thence down the
Yukon $50 miles The rapids between the
lakes are very dangerous. Sixteen men
were drowned in them this season. You
can't imagine how they suffer on the
whole journey from the mosquitoes, gnats
and small flies"

CLEANING THE LAUNDRIES.
The Board of Health Vigorously En-
forcing the Law.

The Board of Health is making cru
SADIE against laundries not in the proper
sanitary condition. Four arrests have
been made by Health Inspectors Stout and
Kline. number of laundrymen are on
the blacklist and they will be arrested if
the conditions of their establishments are
not changed at an early date.
The rule is imperative that cement floors
must be laid in all laundries and proper
drainage pipes attached.
The Health Inspectors are going over the
entire field and issuing permits to conduct
laundry only to those whose premises
are In wholesome condition. Only keep
ers holding these permits will be given
licenses for the next quarter. The others
will be refused licenses till they make the
necessary repairs on their premises. II
they try to run the business without a
license they will be promptly arrested.
By this method it is thought that all
the laundry houses in town can be got into
proper sanitary condition.
