sGURVY IN DAWSON CITY
Strong Effort Being Made to
Check the Epidemic.

From the Terrible Malady-Some of
the Cases May Prove Fatal.
Victoria, Feb. 24.-Advices from
Dawson under date of January lS say
that scurvy has developed among the
miners to such an extent that there are
now IL cases in the public hospital. 1t
is estimated that there are from IS to
10 cases in private cabins. Precaution-
airy measures are being taken to prevent
the spread of the malady.
Victoria, Feb. al. w. Beal, a
mining expert of New York, arrived
here today from Skagway. He has
been up the Stewart river, which he
says is practically an unknown stream.
He and his companions reached Nc
Questen creek, las miles from the
mouth of the river, but failed to make
paying strike.
They started on the return trip on
December 3, with IS inches OF snow on
the ground and the thermometer regis
tering 70 degrees below zero. Contin-
uous snow storms, intense cold and
difficulty of making their way made
the trip more than usually severe, even
in those regions. Once two of the men,
who were in the lead breaking the
trail, fell through the ice and were res
cued only with great difficulty. Nine
and half days were occupied in max
ing 35 miles.
Beal says they found bars on the
Stewart very rich in -four gold, easily
saved, but in the various gulches and
streams they prospected nothing was
obtained except light flake gold, which
it is almost impossible to save without
quicksilver.
The Stewart river enters the Yukon
about 68 miles above Dawson City.

With one great purpose in his mind:
Men passed him on the way, nor stop

To see how he Jared on, behind
He burned the midnight oil, he delyed
Deep in forgotten lore;
The world knew nothing of his toll,

He wrote, and people marvelled at
His sudden leap to fame!
The many failures Of the past,
The years of toll behind.

To shoot, effulgent, through the sky

And sheds its fragrance on the air

A. D. g. when Queen Boadicea's s troops
sacked the city and murdered the peo-
pie. 1t was there when Allectus led his
troops out to fisht the Roman legions.
1t was there very early in the Roman
occupation, as is proved by the quanti-
ties of Roman coins of the four centur-
les of their tenure found in the bed OF
the river on the side of the old bridge.
It is also proved by the fact that South

class. who could not have lived in a
place absolutely without supplies had
there been no bridge. We may take
any time we please for the construction
of the bridge, so long as it is quite
early-say, before the second century.
The Britons themselves were quite
unable to construct bridge OF any
kind unless in the primitive methods
observed at Post Bridge and Two Brio
ges, on Dartmoor, by slab OF stone
laid across two boulders. The work,
therefore, was certainly undertaken by
Roman engineers. We have, in the
next place. to inquire what KIND OF
bridge was built at that time by the
Romans. They built bridges OF Wooc
and of stone; many of these stone brid-
ges still remain in other cases the piec-
es of hewn stone still remain. The
bridge over the Thames, however, was
OF wood. This is proved by the fact
that had it been of the solid Roman
construction in stone, the piers would
be still remaining; also by the fact that
London had to be contented with a
wooden bridge till the year 1176, when
the first bridge of stone was COM

DISCOVERY OF a NEW NOON


Only Seen at Long Intervals Under tho
Best OF Conditions.
An interesting astronomical discov-
cry is announced by DIR. George Waite
math, of Hamburg, Germany, of a sec
ond moon to the earth. The existence
of such body has long been suspected
by astronomers, from certain discord-
ances in the motion of the moon we are
accustomed to see.
The doctors study has been largely
in a compilation of few observations
extending over a long period of years,
at the uncertain intervals, which are
recorded in the annals of science.
The first observation was by an as
tronomer named Cassini in Montpelier.
France. in 1900 A DR. Alischer made
an observation Of a similar character
in 1920 in Juer and again in 1921.
These observations made careful meas
urements of what they saw, and left
to future students the unraveling OF
the mystery. The last observation was
made by Mr.. Goway an American.
Dr. Waltemath announces as an ex-
PLANTATION of the unexplained accelera-
tion of the moons motion that another
moon revolves around the earth at
about 2.7 times the distance Of the large
moon
This very small object is best OBJ
served with a telescope, though 1t has
been seen as a small reddish disc. with
white streaks. The spots on the sun
noted by observers would be eelfpses
of the sun, though the minute size OF
the object would not materially oo-
scure the light of our great luminary.
The observations seem to demand the
best of conditions, to judge from the
rarity of the appearances noted by a
class noted for their minute accuracy

stones at the stray dogs and cats in his
way, without the slightest idea that he
is really an expert equilibrist. Most OF
the many thousands of pieces of steam
boats were carried on the heads and not
on the backs of the men. The $4,000
natives of the lower Congo who have
been carrying these steamboats, and all
other freight around the cataracts. are
the very men who could not be induced,
eighteen years ago to give helping
hand to Mr.. Stanley. He wished to
carry | $50 man-loads. and he had only
1870 Zanzibar and Loango porters for
the work. Some of the natives would
sell him little of their time, but they
would not carry his goods more than
two or three miles beyond their homes.
Stanley's failure to secure the carriers
he needed along the river delayed his
work on the upper Congo for more than
a year, and the labor question was the
most perplexing problem with which
he had to deal. He brought his carriers
thousands of miles from Zanzibar and
other coasts of Africa.

subject that fund of information could
be obtained, while fair idea of the ex-

treating of the work in South America,
where Mr.. Spaulding spent some time
as a missionary two years since.
The Sunday school was also addressed
by Mr.. Spaulding and Mrs. Prautch, a

attention of the pupils by their stories
of work among the native children.

DISSERTATION ON ROADS.

The last resort of a newspaper reporter
when items are scarce is generally the

we usually give the city marshal or the
council a few suggestions as to the best
method of running the city. This time
is an exception, and we will not mention
the nails in the sidewalk, for the injury
such notice might do the shoe dealers;
nor the fact that the street sprinkler
might with propriety be in use, tor if
the dust were laid our physicians would
have fewer patients troubled with throat
difficulties. This time we will give the
streets rest and take to the 'troads."
Anyone who has ever attempted to
drive stranger in our city over the
boulevard on Ninth street, extending
from the old Mission gardens to Union
street, must certainly have felt a thrill
of pride in our well-paved roads, go we
will refrain from speaking on that; nor
will we hint at the beautiful drive from
Mill creek bridge to Stadleman's place; ;
nor of the pleasure which may be de-
rived from sailing over the smooth sur
face of the drive from the top of the
brewery grade to the spot in Thomp-
sons addition where may be seen one of
the grandest views along the Co.
lum bia river, and where we can scarcely
refrain from taking sight-seers. Over
this road our visitors from the country
also enjoy travelling So delightful is the
sensation when climbing up the golden
stairs" in an attempt to reach any part
of the hill, that we fail to see where any
comment can be made as to the state of
those roads.

spoiled, for how can we attack subject
so hard to get around; so full of knotty
problems; so rocky? We cannot get
over it nor around it. Therefore we give

At the Legislature.

Both houses convened at 2 p. m. to-
day, the senate transacting routine busi-
ness, while the house took up the special
order to amend the fishing laws.
The election of State Senator Simon to
the United States senatorship will create
a vacancy in Multnomuh county's rep
resentation in the state senate that it
will be desirable to fill before the regular
session next winter. Mr.. Simon will
serve through the special session, which
will end next Saturday at the least, re-
tanning his seat as presiding officer of the
senate. In Decem ber congress will meet
and he will then go to Washington and
take the oath of Office as United States
senator. His resignation as state sena-
tor must be filed before he can take his
seat as United States senator.
The resignation will be filed with the
governor, whose duty 1t will then be to
issue to the sheriff writ for a special
election in Multnomah county to fill the
vacancy. Instead of using the heavy
machinery of primary elections and
county conventions to nominate candi-
dates to be voted for at the special elec-
ton the law permits the county central
committees of the various parties enti-
tied to representation on the ticket to
make their respective nominations and
certify them to the county clerk, who
will haYe the Australian ballots printed
and distributed in the same manner as
for general elections. The special cleo
tion is required to be conducted in all
respects like a regular general election.
