LIKE GENTLE DEW. ="

1t is to the credit of our citizens to
notice how quickly they are ready to
assist when calamity falls upon some
section of the community. No sooner
were the homeless drafted to the vari-
Gus points than numbers of willing
workers sprang forward to assist in or
ganizing, while others came forward
with gifts of food and clothes in
abundance.
All day yesterday at various points
in the city ladies met and sewed from
morning till evening preparing gar
ments for women and children. For
this there was no lack of willing help
ers and the work flew upon the busy
fingers and the whirring machines. To-
Gay the same good work is being car
ried on.
All this is being carried on at private
cost. No request is made upon the
government for material or assistance
in any way. Already, also, many of
our merchants have given donations to
the Chinese societies to help them in
supporting their destitute countrymen.
In some way or other every individual
is doing something towards alternating
the strain.
Isolated as we are, we are entirely
self dependant, and there can be no as
sistance from without. What has to be
DONE must be done by ourselves, and
at no time have the citizens ever been
found wanting. The test of the will
ingness and good heartedness sof our
people lies not so much in their liberal
ity, it is easy to be liberal if you have
the means, but in the readiness with
which they give up their time and go
actually to hard, and in some cases
most unpleasant work. At a time like
this there are no class and no church
distinctions, but society woman and
seamstress, Protestant and Roman Ca
tholic, and free thinker, priest, preacher
and liquor seller all unite upon the
common ground of humanity to assist
their Hawaiian, Chinese and japanese
brethren in affiiction.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL"

The situation has very much changed
since it was decided by the Board of
Health to ask for 100000 to enable it to
take steps which would empty China
town. Chinatown in a few hours was
wiped out of existence and the situation
solved The population had to be NOV
ed and the citizens turned to and man
aged to meet the emergency of caring
for some 5000 people, supply them with
food and shelter, anu at the same time
guard them and prevent their mingling
with the rest of the population.
Even with the 100000 voted for
claims for destroying propertN2it would
have taken a considerable time to en-
PITY Chinatown, and there would have
been effort after effort made to save
this building or that building, and the
moving of the people would have been
no light task. Now the whole matter is
settled and that part of the problem
need bother us no more.
But how does the situation look to-
day? Is it any better? Dr. Wood is
most emphatic in stating that it is. The
main center of disease has been de-
stroyed. Cases must and will crop up
elsewhere, but with the rigid methods
now employed, these sporadic cases can
be dealt with easily-if they are only
promptly reported and the inspectors
and sub-inspectors do their duty.
AS long as Chinatown remained un-
burned, the disease was beyond the
grasp of the Board of Health. With
Chinatown gone, it will be- as Dr. Wood
remarked at the meeting of the SAM
tary Committee, our own fault if we do
not stamp it out within thirty days.
This is a most encouraging condition of
affairs and every one will feel hopeful
at such words coming from such a
source.
This does not mean that we can sit
down and trust to it's dying out. Moth
ing of the kind. If any thing the efforts
must be redoubled. Principally the
work of vigilance falls upon the inspec-
tors and the sub-inspectors. But every
one is interested and has responsibility
in the matter. Every case of sickness.
not attended by a physician must be
reported and Investigated by a Board
of Health physician. 1t is at the price
of unremitting vigilance that we shall
be able to smash the desease complete
ly There can be no let up in the work.
But there win be no let up. The citi-
zens are alive to their duties and are
willing to sacrifice their time and their
strength to assist in the final struggle.
Men, who a few days ago did not real
ize the necessity Of all hands turning
to, realize it now. The President of the
Board and the members of that body
are and always have been in dead earn

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
ABERDEEN, March s.--The Grays har-
Dor branch OF the Northern Pacific railroad
is entitled to Sunday train service. For
several years the people Of this prosper
Gus section have been getting along with

kinds more brisk than ever. trains crowd

There IL not branch line OF railroad in
Washington which does larger business
than the one leading 10 this harbor The
train and crew lay. ever at Ocosta over
Sunday. and could just as well make the
usual run as far as expense to the COM
panY liz concerned.
As an Illustration Of the business done
here, ON Wednesday alone the sale OF pas
senger tickets amounted 10 $3.50. and no
one ticket exceeded more than $40 and IL
Is safe to say that this Is the general
average OF the ticket sales here, to say
nothing of the business done by the other
towns.
There has been no little agitation OF this
matter before but II has never been
brought TO the notice of the railroad offic-
ials In any practical manner nor backed
with the conclusive argument which ia
vors the project today IL has arrived at
that point now, however. when the enter
prtsing citizens OF the harbor realize that
they must have a Sunday train. and the
matter viii not be let rest until tho OBJ
ject IL accomplished.
The only Sunday mail received since the
boom days on this line was when, a year
ago last summer. the observation-disclosures

ton Of the public.

One theory which IL advanced by a
prominent politician for the action Of

that Willie McInnes has no desire to ca
ter to provincial politics, but Is chiefly
concerned with holding his present seat
in the commons. At the last election he
succeeded I'm being elected, only because
he was the third candidate between
the candidates of the two coal kings,

Martin Ia out tonight with an interview
IN which he denies that he was selected

opposition to him came principally from

that he. being solicitor of the Cana
