FILIPINO HUTs.

the disease in certain portions of the
Philippines
To it's credit be it said the Spanish
government years ago provided Manila
with good drinking water, and city and
suburbs are adorned with public foun-
tains; but under Spanish rule sanitary
conditions otherwise were anything but
favorable, the lack of a sewer system be-
ing a constant evil. During the wet
season, localities given over to the very
poor presented sight calling for radical
reforms; the thatched-roofed huts stood
over pools of stagnant water, the only
drainage ditch cut around each square:
when the dry season came on and evap-
Grafton commenced there resulted the
fever mortality that might have been ex-
pected. The task Of improving these
quarters was taken in hand by the board
and great amount of sanitary work ac-
complished. There has been thorough
cleaning up of the worst districts, and a
strict inspection of the buildings main
tanned.
In the history of the bubonic plague
there is chronicled no other success
equal to that won by the plucky battlers
of the fearful malady in Manila. System
and boldness characterized the work.
and the number of casses of plague were
reduced from the All of 1901 to the three
Of 1902. Immediately the plague was
stamped out, Asiatic cholera in malig-
nant form broke out in the Philippines.
Though the disease became epidemic.
the board of health of Manila labored so
untiringly that the per cent. of popula-
ton attacked in the city was much lower
than in the outlying provinces, where
time was lost in enforcing health regu-
lations
Recent investigation of the continued
excessive mortality in Manila shows that
the death rate among infants is very
high, and attention now Is conferred on
educating the people as to the care of
their offspring. Physicians and nurses
have been assigned to the various health
districts, and their services for mother
and child are to be given free of charge.
At first (as is usually the case when
semi-savages come in contact with ham
pering sanitary restrictions) the ig-
norant inhabitants of Manila eyaded
and rebelled against the work of the
board of health, thought there was some
more of the new rulers cruelty and
tyranny; but gradually they are learning
that these efforts of the health officers
are being made on their behalf, that
here, instead of enmity and oppression
is instance of friendly protection, provi-
sion for their welfare.

Within asshort time the residents of

iron ore on therange. Underlying the
entire town rich deposits of mineral
have been discovered and it is simply q
question of short time when the site

The United States Steel corporation
is said to have control of most of the
property in which ore has been found,
and. while it is not known how soon
operations will begin, it is understood
that other shafts will be sunk within a
short time. One drill is being sunk in
the middle of the street of the town
and about fifteen others at intervals of
about 100 feet are being operated. The
deposits shown by these means have
always been of the highest grade and
in almost unlimited quantities.

Sanitarium.

The state board of control has pur-
chased large tract of land near Leach
Lake on which the sanitarium for con-
sumptives provided for by the last leg
islature will be located. The board
Is negotiating for more land and ulti-
mately plans to have approximately
six hundred acres.
1t is probable that no buildings will
be erected on the tract this year, as
the appropriation of $25, 900 is scarcely
enough to buy the land, construct the
buildings and maintain the institution
on large scale until another appro-
priation is secured. It has been sug-
gested that tents in which the con-
sumptives may live the summer be
pitched on the tract, and should they
decide not to erect any buildings it is
probable that this will be done.

HEALTH OF MANILA
IT HAS BEEN IMPROVED UNDER
AMERICAN RULE.
Unsanitary Conditions Have Been
Changed for the Better Through
out All the Islands-Death
Rate Decreased.

American administration in Cuba led
TO the cleaning up OF her unhealthful.
dirty towns and to the stamping out of
the dreaded yellow fever epidemics. Re
cent word comes that like creditable
work OF reform is in progress in the far
Philippines, whereat both imperialist
and anti-imperialist must find commeda-
BILE at least this one feature of Amer
tcan occupation.
In the five years the Americans have
been struggling with the Filipino ques-
ton, the board of health for the Philip
pine islands has brought about some re-
duction OF the excessive death rate, has
bravely and effectively battled with
cholera and bubonic plague A heavy
burden has rested upon this branch of
insular service; both during the organ
1zation under military government and
the one formed later under civil au-
thority.
Though in general the Filipinos are
considered robust race, they are less
able than the white man to withstand
acute diseases. Large numbers die an
nually of fever. In the spring the disease
is especially disastrous A certain au-
thor, writing of life in Manila, speaks Of
May as month of fever and funerals. .
At that season many deaths occur, also
from acute indigestion, caused by the
eating of too much new rice. The board
OF health labors zealously to instruct
the people in both precautionary and
and curative measures.
Leprosy has been existent in the
islands for a long time-the emperor of
Japan In 1858 sent a company of $50
lepers to the Philippines, consigning
them to the mercy of the priests whom
he knew had cared in the past for such
unfortunates-and the st. Lazarus hos
pital was founded for the benefit of the
afflicted with this curse. 1t is said the
Spaniards, though bestowing care upon
the sufferers, paid almost no attention to
checking the spread of leprosy; those
in present having authority over the
lazarettos are engaged in a plan for the
organization of a separate leper colony,
it being considered necessary to take
this step owing to an increase of

her danger, brought many neighbors

about her, her entire body was badly
burned before the flames were extin-

declare that she has but a slight chance
for recovery.

Found Ore.

The search for mineral deposits,
which has been in progress at Swan
vile, has SO far resulted in the dis
covery of apparently large body of rich
iron ore near the village. Local capt.
talists have taken the matter in hand
and will Immediately try to determine
the extent of the deposit. They have
secured options on a large tract of the
land supposed to contain the ore and
experts are expected to be on ground
Immediately and commence the work.
There are many parties now out among
the hills prospecting for minerals of
the kinds that are thought to exist
there, and the finding of other large
and valuable bodies of ore are expect
ed at any time.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Month Of May Was Disappointing
Conditions Not Wholly
Satisfactory.

new YOrK, June 4.-BraQSCreeC
says: "The volume Of May business
both at wholesale and retail was disap-
pointing, confirmation of this being
found In decreases in bank clearings
and in railway earnings from numer-
GUS, though less costly than in recen.
preceding months, while showing in
creases on year ago. Iron and steel,
bituminous coal and cotton manufac-
turing are notably quiet for this season
OF the year. There are, however, some
signs underlying confidence in future
trade. These consist of reports of i'm
proved inquiry for fall goods at some
western, southern and eastern points,
a rather better tone in the shoe and
leather industry at the east, active
buying at full prices of the new west
ern wool clip, and fairly satisfactory
reports from the wooden industry, nota-
bly, that part dealing with the clothing
trade. Collections partake of trade
|irregularity, but are still classable as
fair. Prices of staple show a general
sagging tendency, part of which is sea-
sonal. Briefly summed up, the situa
ton generally centers upon the proba-
bic outturn of the growing crops, and
until this matter is settled most au-
thorities look for comparative quiet in
most lines. Among the industries iron
and steel and bituminous coal note
specially marked depression.

The Corning distillery was the second
largest establishment of the kind in the
country. The property destroyed cold
prises large warehouse, II stories high,
made largely Of corrugated iron, in
which was stored 10000 barrels of high
proof spirits, the cistern and ferment-
ing departments, each in a, three-story
brick building, and the cattle sheds, con-
tanning 5000 head of cattle, all of which
were burned to death. Only the cookers
are left, of the entire plant
The fire started in the warehouse
ignited spirits, which quickly spread the
flames to all parts of the immense struc-
ture, and soon the explosion of thou
sands of casks fastened the destruction
and made noise that terrorized all that
part of the city. In a short time the ware
house fell, crushing the smaller build
ings near it, liberating mass of burning
debris. A stream of blazing spirits was
turned into the cattle pens, turning them
into a seething pool of flame, which
quickly killed the animals confined
there. The cattle were the property Of
Dodd & Keifer, of Chicago, and F. C..
White & Co., of Peoria.
A Strange Experience.
Elmer Hogan had a strange experience.
He was at work in the warehouse when
the collapse came. He was washed out
through a break in the building by the
big stream Of whisky. He was carried
toward the river, distance of nearly rs
feet before being lodged against a
fence, from which he managed to escape
before the fire overlook him. He was re-
moved to the hospital in a badly injured
condition and died at eight O. clock Sat-
urday night
The fire at the Corning plant is the
third serious mishap that has befallen
the company in the last few months. In
October a cooker exploded, killing nine
men. In December wareouse burned.
