DR.. Lees Report.
DIR. Lee has made the following report
TO Guvernnr Sadler

DIR. Lee has made the following report
to Governor Sadler.
IAN epidemic of pneumonia, with com
plications, broke out in Tonopah the
night OF December 81, 1901, and between
that date and January 13, seventeen
deaths occurred. However, only thirteen
of the above number died of the disease
named. There were 26 cases of ag-
gravated charac ter and 81 per cent oi
them died. In addition to this number
there were 80 or 40 other cases, similar
in character but milder in form, all OF
whom recovered.
"F'rom the data that was enabled to
acquire, have no hesitancy in saying
that the disease is pneumonia in char
acter but complicated with congestion
of the liver in most cases and gastric dis
turbances and weak hearts in all OF them.
"The disease is similar in character to
that which prevailed in Hamilton, Eu-
reka and Phoebe in the late COS and
early '70's and like that in 1899.
After as thoroughly investigating the
matter as it was possible to do in a
period of 80 hours / see no cause for a
panic-or to look upon the disease that
existed in Tonopah as one of mysterious
character. That the mortality has been
great is conceded but no more SO than
occurred in the towns | have previously
mentioned. The rate of mortality might
have been much less great had the sick
been better housed. Lying as most OF
them did 10 tents, proper regulation OF
temperature could not be secured.
"The sanitary conditions of the town
is bad and the water supply, if possible,
has been worse, both of which, however.
could be almost perfectly corrected

The local newspaper, truthfully says
an exchange, should be found in every
home. No children should be brought
up ignorant who can be taught to ap-
preciate homo papers. 1t is said to be
the stepping stone to intelligence in all
those matters not found in books. Give
your children one foreign paper with not
one word about any person, place or
thing they ever heard of, and how do
you suppose them to be interested? But
let them read the home paper and hear
from people whom they meet, and of the
places which they are familiar, and soon
an interest is awakened which increases
with the arrival of every local paper.
Thus habit of reading is formed and
those children will read papers all their
lives and become intelligent men and
women, credit to their ancestors, and
strong in the knowledge of the world as
it is today.

A DISPATCH from New York says: The
Chicago, Milwaukee 4 st. Paul railroad
has plans drawn and surveys made for
an extension of the system to the Pacific
coast. Surveys made two years ago are
now being elaborated because of the ag-
gressive policy pursued by the Great
Northern railway in extending it's short
lines into the st. Paul territory. The St.
Paul management is prepared to spend
S2O,O00,O0O if necessary to protect its
traffic in Northwestern territory. With
in the past few weeks surveyors have
been laying out St. Paul line to Butte.
The present western terminus of this
system is Evarts, S. d., and preliminary
surveys were made some time ago for a
standard gauge extension from Evarts
to Boulder, Mont. From the last-named
place branch line is planned to Helena,
and the st. Paul management has had
plans prepared for the construction of a
line through to the Pacific coast through
the LolO pass and into Seattle. These
plans have been definitely formulated
and the route is practically laid out
The construction of the extension de-
ponds on the extent to which President
Hill of the Great Northern carries his
extensions into st. Paul territory.
