SMALLPOX
New Pest HouSe-Fav0rab!e To-
 cation found

In company with officer Doyle re- porter drove over the country three miles east of town 10 look over the territory designated for a pest house. The present one is entirely inadequate and will soon be replaced by another and better one.
 The site that some favor for build. ing a new pest house on is situateed about one and half miles east of town, some distance back from the road, and in q ravine back of the hill, where there is plenty of protection from wind. There is a ravine running into the basin, which with little grading will make it approachable for team with a buggy or wagon. The ground has been rendered the county officials for building spot. and some seem to think favorable.
 The committee on sanitary condi- tions asked for couple of days to look into the matter. and their decision will be ot course final and will be presented to the city council when it next con venes.
 The present building occupied as ar emergency hospital is entirely made quate and is farther away from the city than necessarr. The inmates at the hospital, when seen yesterday, were all looking quite well, and were cer tainly anxious to get out again. Quinr looks like a scared veteran and il badly pitted, but is improving and il out and around. Two of the patient: will be permitted to go home in da, or SO. Thus far there have been nt new cases given out.

CLAIMS WERE CORKtRS
Board of Supervisors VIII Stand
 a law Suit

The board of supervisors has disal. lowed the claims of Justice of the Peace Greaves, of Naco, and Constable Hudspeth, by E. P. Els, deputy, for the fourth quarter of 1901. The bill presented by Justice Greaves amounted to $655 and that of Deputy Constable Els s1, 156.30.
 The claims were more than the dis trict attorney and the board could solve, and they thought the best way was to let the courts settle the matter.
 As result of this decision an entry was made on the minutes that the claims were fraudulent, and to force a hearing of the case it devolves upon Justice Greaves and Constable Els to bring suit in the district court.

besides, these dangerous spots are
usually in isolated localities. The
United States government has expert
mented with several contrivances that
were intended to give warning and at
the same time let the ships captain
know in what direction the peril lay.
Some time ago the government pur-
chased a device known as the mega
fog signal" and experiments have
been made at Falkners island, al
though it has not been placed in gen
eral use.
The megafog signal, says the Kan
sas City Star, is very simple in con-
struction. Imagine huge circular
frame, with megaphones pointing
north. south, east and west, and
you will have it, only that the
magafog signal goes further and has
megaphone pointing northeast,
north, northwest and southeast and
southwest. In the center of this
frame is cylindrical siren. There
are two cylinders, one within the
other. There are air Sits or holes
in the outer cylinder, and the pressing
of the air through these Sits by the
revolutions of the inner cylinder
makes what the naval officer calls
music; the wireless telegraph inven-
tor denominates it as sound waves and
the layman calls it an ordinary blast.
The Sits or air holes in the outer cylin-
der open into the different mega
phones. No two Sits are alike. They
may be so made as to emit short
blast or long blast. Accompanying
the megafog signal instrument is a
megaphone code that all ship officers
must know. 1t is like the Morse tele-
graph code, if one desires to say that
a long blast is dash and short blast
dot.
When fog gathers the siren is set
going. For illustration, say that
through the megaphone pointing
northeast it will sound long blast,
| followed by short one. A ship is
near by, caught in the fog, and the
skipper doesn't know which course to
take to avoid danger. The long blast
and the short one coming from the
| foghorn mean literally this to him:
Don't steer northeast. There is
danger
No matter in what direction the ves-
sci may be from the megafog signal,
