Decision Reached to Send q Company at
Once to st. Michaels.
WASHINGTON, Sept 1S.-At to-day's
cabinet meeting which lasted over two
hours, the situation in Alaska was dis
cussed. Secretary of War Alger had a
report from Capt. Ray, who had just
arrived at st Michaels, which furnished
the basis for the discussion and the
course which was decided upon.
Capt. Rays report was in the nature
of an urgent appeal for troops to pre-
serve peace and order during the COM
ing winter. There are vast amount
of stores and supplies at ST. Michaels.
and there is not a United States
soldier in the whole territory
of Alaska. After considering
the subject it was decided
to send a company of infantry to st.
Michaels as soon as possible. Secre.
tary Alger will arrange the details inn
mediately, and he hopes to have the
company sail within week, probably
from Seattle. He has not yet selected
the officer who will be placed in
command, nor does he yet know from
what post the company will be taken.
This action is in effect the establish.
ment of a military post at the mouth
of the Yukon.

Denver, Col. Sept Is.-After many
months of effort and repeated exDeri-

found. DIR. " A. Norgaard, OF this
citv, is the discoyerer. Solution after
solution was tried by him in the effort
20 find one what would be effectual and
cheap, as we'll as immediate in its re-
suits. The plan for dealing with the
fever is to primarily exterminate the
insects known as the Tick, which
abound on fever-stricken cattle. and
through the means OF which the
disease is communicated To do
this the cattle are forced to swim
through a solution in vat What the
solution is, it is not known at the pres
ent time, but crude petroleum is used.
When the successful experiment was
tried 81 head of very s'tickya cattle
were forced to swim through the soiu-
ton. and it was noticed that while
standing on the drip board
there was almost a perfect rain
of ticks falling off the cat
tie. They were put into
special pen. and the next day, just II
hours after the experiment was tried.
a rigid examination was prosecuted,
and the examiners failed to find
single live tick in the whole herd
There was no damage done the eyes or
skin of the cattle dipped, and not
single bad effect resulted from the
dipping. If She new remedy proves
to do all that it is claimed
it can do, the cattle market will ex-
perience somewhat of revolution,
and about 500. 600 head of cattle will
be shipped north. each year during the
now prohibited season, which extends
from February Is to November 15. The
