shores there would not be likely to be
a serious spread OF the disease. Com
pared with Alexandria, Sydney was a
clean city, yet recently the plague was
stamped out of Alexandria in a re-
markedly short time. DR.. Creed's con-
tention, in a letter published in the
Daily Telegraph" yesterday, that the
bodies of persons who die of the plague
should be cremated was, in his opinion,
a sound one. 1t should be made alb
solutely clear, however, that the Gre
nation should be compulsory, and not
permissive. DR.. Greed mentioned the
matter a year or two ago, and he would
render a service If he pressed for an
enactment giving the authorities power
in such cases to demand the cremation
of any person who died from the dis
ease.
AS to the efficacy of incubation
against the bubonic plague, the follow
ing, which appeared in recent issue
OF the Times will be read with in
terest: '"The Viceroy of India in adj
dressing meeting at Poona, expressed
himself most strongly in favor of inocu-
lation against the plague: 81 say
frankly on this occasion, and do not
care how widely my words may be
spread, that in my judgment inocula-
ton is by far the wisest system OF
prophylactics that you can adopt.
do not say so because I have the req
uisite medical or chemical knowledge
to pronounce with authority upon the
constituent proportions or upon the
scientific results of serum, but I say
so because, as a thinking human beins
with the power of using my eyes and
| ears, l cannot fail to be conscious o.
its demonstrable effects. If find, a.
l do find, out of 100 plague seizures
among uninoculated persons, the aver
age number who die is somewher,
about 20 to so per cent, while, in 6
| corresponding number of seizure
among inoculated persons, the proper
lions are entirely reversed, and 20 Il
so per cent, If not more, are saved
| and these calculations have been fur
| nished from more than one responsible
quarter-I say figures of that kind can
not fail to carry conviction, and / al
together fail to see how, in the face o
them, it is possible for anyone to argu
that incubation is not wise an
necessary precaution-"

ABOUT IRON ROOFS.
Are They Menace Rather Than a
Safeguard in Case of Fire

In speaking recently of the great
Chinatown fire gentleman who was
very active in the volunteer work done,
after the fire had passed the control OF
the Fire Department, condemned the
practice of roofing buildings with cor
rugated iron. He stated that in his
opinion the present style of erecting
the iron roofs was a menace rather
than a safeguard.
In giving his reasons for this state
ment he said: During the fire | no
ticed the way the iron roofs shed the
water poured on them and how, when
the roofs were heated to the melting
point, they turned the water into
steam with a great hiss. Had these
roofs been of shingles the water would
have had chance to get through them
and so have been of some avail in the
interior of the burning buildings.
"Why would it not be good idea to
have the roofs made with just enough
pitch to carry rain water to the waste
pipes? Have wall, say, three to SIX
inches high built entirely around the
roof at the edge with a plug to stoI
up the gutter in case of necessity
Then when the fire came, instead OF
wasting good water on hot roof the
plug could be used, the water thrown
onto the roof, and when the roof fell
in the flames which dart into the ali
would be quenched by the water stored
on the roof.
What 1 have stated is my candid
opinion of an improvement that could
be made in future buildings erected
here. think the plan is practicable
one and would like to see some dis
cussion of it by the fire authorities"

Personal Opinions.

In an interview with a IS. d. Tele-
graph" representative, DR.. Ashburton
Thompson, speaking generally about
the plague, said that although it was
natural that alarm should be felt in
Sydney under the circumstances, and
while it was to be hoped that any cases
which might be imported would be re-
lentlessly barred by the quarantine, it
should be known that one, or even two
or three cases, breaking out in city
were not sufficient to start an epidemic.
If the plague unfortunately visited our

Reports come every few days of the presence of any number of bear on the line between Caribou and White Horse, and some have seen splendid specimens of moose within range of the track very lately. Mr. King, of Kings mills, at Caribou, says that all kinds of good shooting is to be had near there. Bear, caribou, mountain goats and wild ducks abound. However, hunting is not car ried on to a great extent now for one reason that most of the men in that district are busy at summer work, and for another reason that it is out of sea son for the killing of ducks and other game Bear, in particular, are declared by nearly every one from Caribou, or beyond, to be common along that part of the railroad. The members of the bruin family are not uncommonly seen from the cars as the trains pass. They are not of the ordinary black bruin caste, but include the more aristocratic grizzlies, silver tips and cinnamons.
 Rev. IL. Wift, formerly of Douglas, who has been very prominent in the work of the St. Bernard hospital at Nome, and in the work of the Congre gational churches in Alaska, has re- signed his positions in both connec- tions. Mir. Wirt was superintendent of the Congregational Mission work in Alaska and had also been active in rais- ing money for various charitable pur- poses in this territory. The reverend gentleman is a good talker and had had very good success in raising funds for any enterprise which he took up, but some of his fellow pastors were not satisfied with the accounts given of the expenditure of money. At last MT. Wirt asked for an investigation to be made, that the charges of Dame Rumor might be either proved or disapproved, and Rev. H. .Melvil Penney, of San Jose, was appointed to make the investiga- tion. The result was not satisfactory, and MT. Wirt severed his connection with the entire work.
 A valuable report as to what the Rus sians, from whom the United States purchased Alaska, maintained as the boundary on the Dalton trail, was given by s. Weitzman, who was recently in Skagway from Haines. He said to an Alaskan reporter that the present pro- visional boundary runs only four miles from tide water which backs up the Chilkat river. The boundary in Rus. sian days was at the summit of the trail, far back. The Russians kept their soldiers stationed at that summit. This I got this year from some of the oldest Indians living in Haines and KIukwan who were there at the time of the Rus sians. They remember we'll the Rus sians, and at times had trouble with the czar's people, which they also remem- Der. This summit at which the Rus sian soldiers were is the place that should mark the boundary between the United States and Canada. Sixteen miles back from Klukwan are old huts or cabins in which the Russians lived, and other evidences of Russians in the district still remain. At Klukwan is Russian graveyard, and over the graves wooden memorial pieces bearing words in the Russian language. The graves of Russians are common there. An other thing at Klukwan still in evidence are the cannons left there by the Rus sians.

The NOrthIand The Latest News, from Reliable Sources, Concerning the Great
 North, Condensed.
Information for Everybody,

A rich placer find is reported near Nulato, the point on the lower Yukon where the overland cut off to Norton Sound begins, and stampede is now on to the new diggings, It is claimed that $50 per day to the man is taken out. The gold is found near the sur face, and it is only a few feet to bed rock.
 Contractor Heney, of the White Pass road, on the completion of his Iabors, placed 15O head of horses which had been used in building the road on the market at White Horse. The entire bunch sold readily at prices ranging from $50 to S4OO per head. The strike at Panama has created a lively demand for horse flesh.
 The Sitka Alaskan says that MT. and Mrs. Albert D. Elliot were passen gers on the outgoing Queen. They left for their old home in Washington, D. O., but will take a round about course in reaching that place, probably visiting California and Yellowstone Park en- route. Mir. Elliot expects to return to Alaska in the spring and engage in min ing or commercial interests.
 John Barring, a longshoreman, fell from walk leading to his cabin, along the railroad track skirting the bay on the east side of town early one morn ing last week in Skagway. The body was found with the head bent under the shoulder. A coroner's inquest re- vealed the fact that death resulted from strangulation, caused by the neck being bent under the shoulder, and that the man fell while intoxicat- ed.
 Saturday night Corporals Johnson and O'Brien, of the N. W. M. P. force stationed at Tagish, crossed the river in a PeterbOrO canoe for the purpose ot bathing on the opposite shore, says the White Horse Star. Some time after they had gone cries for help were heard but although help was at once dispatch ed to aid them no trace could be dis covered of men or canoe. It is suppos- ed that on their return trip the canoe was capsized and both men drowned.
 The White Horse Star says that pas sengers on the Gold Star, which arrived Monday morning, brought information that the body of Miss Stewart, the young lady drowned in the Florence S. accident July 21st, had been found four miles below the mouth of the Big Salmon. The body was in badly de- composed condition and had been mu- tilated by dogs, one of her legs having been eaten off. It was the intention of the parties who had the body in charge to take it to Big Salmon for interment.

AWHEEL IN PARIS,

Mrs. Pencil in the New Lippincott:
The first strong emotion will come when
you start on your flight from the exhibit
ton and are riding, say, across the Place
de 10 Concorde, along the Rue de Rivoli,
to the Place de la Bastille, with your
heart in your mouth at every toot Of the
motor horn. According to the papers
he footing that was frequent enough
for my confusion a few months ago when
I was last in Paris, now never stops.
The motorman drives a sort OF Jugger-
naut car through the stricken streets of
Paris, while peaceful citizens go about,
revolvers in their pockets, ready to shoot
him as Donor as late-as he runs over
them! Nor, il 1t be a Sunday or a feast
day, is peace yet within reach when the
Avenue Daumesnil has eventually led
you to the Bots de Vincennes, the Ep-
ping Forest of Paris. 1t may have it's
castle and it's history, but the playground
Of the people does not seem the most ap-
propriate stage, even in memory. for Il
royal idyl, with Louis XIV. n Louise
de la Valliere as lovers, or for the trag-
edy that made Europe tremble when the
Due d'Enghien fell at a word of Napol-
con. The loves of Gavarni's little girls
cites, the comedies of Murger's Bohe-
mions, would be much more in charac-
ter. But once across the Marine at Char
enton, once past Maisons-Alfort and VIII
leneuve-St. Georges, you begin to have
hope of that other forest, so vast that all
the tourists in the world could not cock
nifty it.

STILL STANDING.

York sun: Workmen have Just COM.
menced to reconstruct the old Madison
u in this city, which enjoys the dis
function of being the only private resi-
n which ever served as the white
house or executive mensian Of the Clit-
ed States. For nearly two years this
building. still standing practically intact
within a thousand feet of the present
white house, served as the seat of the
executive government. For years it has
been a landmark and historical object in
washington, but now it is to be recon-
structed and turned into an apartment
house, it's dignity being still further COM
promised by the recent location of a drug
store in the lower front room of the
building.
This old Madison mansion stands at
Nineteenth street and Pennsylvania ave
nue., two blocks westward of the white
house. When the British army occupied
fire to the capitol building and the white
house, as well as the few public build
ings then standing, President Madison,
his cabinet, senator's n representatives
and other officials of the government took
refuge across the river in Virginia. When
the British p~recipitately retreated, Madi-
son returned only to find the white house
ruined to such an extent that 1t could no
longer be utilized as a dwelling. He
therefore took up his residence at the
OLD mansion at Nineteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue, and for almost two
years directed the affairs of the nation
from that structure, as well as entertain
ing guests and receiving delegations in
the large front room which is now a drug
store.
The ground loor was occupied by Mad
ison for executive purposes, and the two
remaining floors served as the living
apartments Of the presidents family. 1t
was here in this great corner room, now
lined with drugs to heal physical wounds,
that political balms were concocted to
heal the wounds of England and Amer
lea. Tradition says that Madison signed
there the treaty of Client, terminating
the war between England and the Unit
ed States.

thoroughfare are familiar With the his

WILL CONSIDER PROPOSITION TO
AFFILIATE WITH REPUBLI-

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
FOR LATE VIM. THOMPSON.
Fine Tribute to the Memory Of the De-
parted Pioneer-Entered on
The Records.

The executive committee of the Silver
Bow republican club met las evening.
President Byron F. zoe was in the
chair and nearly all of the committee
men We're present. It was decided to call
a meeting of the club for the third Fri
day in June to submit the proposition Of
af1liating with the Montana ran of
the republican league.
The following resolution were adopted
by unanimous vote:
Whereas; 1t has pleased the Ruler Of
Nations to take from us, all too soon,
fellow-member, the Honorable William
Thompson, be it, by the executive COM
mittee of the Silver Bow county republic
can club
Resolved: That in the death of Mr..
Thompson the community has lost a
worthy and patriotic citizen and his be-
reaved family a kline father.
Resolved: That the untimely taking
away of Mr.. Thompson leaves a vacancy
in our body which will be difficult to fill,
that we mourn his loss as a faithful and
conscientious member, n a tried, true,
upright and honest friend, we hereby ex-
tend to his family our sincere sympathy
in their bereavement. That the history
of Montana is incomplete without his
name or without an account of his
deeds. He was one of those who, that a
new commonwealth might live, battled
against the savage aborigines and the
rigor of nature: who, after the primeval
wilderness had given way forever to
smiling landscapes and busy towns, was
not content with the ~conquests of the
past, but ever strove on. We who knew
him mourn; Those who come after, will
revere. Our youth car do no better than
emulate his example,; and to the older
among us, he was the incarnation of the
Christian life. In his daily conduct he
was upright; in his business transactions
honest and trustworthy; in his social re-
%lations, kindly and cheerful. To his fell
lowmen, he was helpful; to his friends,
affectionate n true; inc to his enc
mics, conciliating.
Resolved: That these resolutions be
entered upon the records of the execu-
tive committee of the Silver Bow County
Republican Club, n be it further
Resolved: THAI as a further mark of
our sympathy and the esteem in which
we hold the memory Of William Thomp-
son, a copy of these resolutions be pre-
sented to his s~orrowing family.
