ESKIMO CELEBRITY DEAD.


Charles Antisarlook, the reindeer king
OF Alaska, died at Sinrock of pneumonia,
July 30.
Antisarlook was an Eskimo. He was
well-known to Lieut.. Jarvis to whom
he gave valuable aid on the celebrated
overland journey several years ago to
the relief OF the ice-imprisoned Arctic
whalers. Indeed. but for the reindeer
loaned by Antisarlook and other Eskimos
Jarvis might not have been able TO ac-
complish his mission. Antisarlook owned
about 500 reindeer.
Pneumonia has wrought distressing
ravages among the Sinrock Eskimos. 1t
is ESTIMATED that the disease left twen-
ty-five or thirty children orphans. So
great has been their suffering that VIII

GOOD ROADS PLANKs.
Asked to Insert Them In Their
National Platforms.

Wheelmen, through their nationa..
organization, the League of American
Wheelmen, are to be factors in the ma
tional republican and democratic con-
ventions. The officers of the organiza-
ton have decided to use every means
to secure the adoption of good roads
plank in both platforms, and they are
sanguine of success.
The work of securing the pianks has
been entrusted to the highway i'm
proyement committee, of which 81. B.
Fullerton. of Brooklyn, is chairman.
This committee has among it's mem
bers the most experienced good roads
workers in the country. They are men
of influence and will have no trouble
in securing an audience with the party
leaders.
The decision of the L. A. w. in this
undertaking is directly in line with it's
policy to nationa.ize the good roads
movement. Previous to the beginning
of this year the work of the league has
been confined to municipal. county and
state agitation. The dignity of ma
tional movement was reached with
the introduction of the bill in con-
gress, by Senator Penrose. of Pennsyl-
vania, in behalf of the L. A. W.. asking
for an appropriation of $5.00O,G00 for
highway improvement. The insertion
of the planks in the party platforms
will further dignity the good roads
movement as being of national impor-
tance
The League of American Wheelmen
contends. and justly it seems. that
there are very few matters of more
vital Importance to the entire coun-
try than the one of good roads. When
a government official, instructed to in
vestigate the economical side of the
question. reports there is an annual
loss of $500.000,o0 to the country be-
cause of bad roads, it certainly ap-
pears the matter is worthy of the Sc
rious attention of the political parties
and congress.
The L. A. w. has been very success
full in persuading agriculturists of the
economy of improved highways. and
there are some of, the strongest farm
ers' organiza tions in the country now
working in sympathy with the wheel
men. These will be asked to lend their
aid to the request for the platforms
and will be potent factors in the re-
suits.
In past undertakings the T.. A. w.
has accomplished many difficult tasks
in behalf of wheelmen. and it will in
this case. if necessary. show it's full
strength; but it is not believed this
will be necessary in proposition OF
such evident value.

KEEPING MILK PURE.
The Only Way to Do 1t Is to Remove
the Fluid from the Stable as
Quickly as Possible.

We have no conception as to how
long time it will require for science
and experiment to destroy the foolish
belief that warm milk will not absorb
odors. 1t is to be regretted. however,
that such an opinion exists, for it is
the cause of the contamination of large
quantities Of milk. AS the result of
some experiments. conducted by the
writer, it was demonstrated that warm
milk was even more susceptible to the
absorption of odors than cold milk
was. The samples of warm milk that
were used were more fully charged
with the odor of manure than the SAM
Piles of cold milk were. and all the sam
pies were exposed under precisely the
same conditions. In other experiments.
conducted at one of our experiment
stations, it was observed that fresh
COW urine tainted the warm milk much
more quickly, and to higher degree.
than it did milk that was in a cold
condition.
1t would appear that enough has
been done on this line to put dairy
men on their guard and to convince
all that instead of warm milk throwing
off odors, it absorbs them. At all events.
we have the right to expect that the
dairyman will endeavor to avoid dam
ger, and remove the milk from the
stable at once. 1t is not much trouble
to do this; and it should not be forgot
ten that even in the very cleanest
stables there are Odors that will not
help the favor of milk. It is absolutely
impossible to keep stable clean
enough to prevent some odors, and
that would be true if the milking were
done in the parlor, for the cow herself
is the source of odor, more or less dis
tinct, and is liable at any time to crc-
ate very destructive doors. Keep on
the safe side, and remove the milk
