ci0n, pues durante los cinco meses que
estuvo encargado de Ia reconstruction

de calcularse un gasto medic eual-
quiera por af1o y por kil6metro.
FL senor Gambia C6rdova protes-
ia que para defender la administration
de Obras P1blicas Sc necesite un nom
bre ajeno, dando informes falsos sin
duda para despistar la opinion p1-
blica. Ell senior del Vale Zeno, inge-
Micro civil, confesa que los datos su-
ministrados por ell Superintendent
del departamento lie causarOn gran
sorpresa.
Dice que durante los cuatro meses
que estuvo como ingeniero en- la con-
servacion de las carreteras, no pudo
en- manera alguna gastar en- los amos
de 1901 1902, mil ciento sesenta y dos
dollars, repartidos en- dos sumas de

Como este es un case que Sc pres

que no es NADIA favorable la seriedad |
del Departamento de Obras P1blicas,
por dos razones, la primera por ha-
Der suministrado noticias ineXactas al

que el Superintendent debe de infor-

FAIRBANKS IS LIKE DAWSON IN 1898

DAWSON, July 11.-Ben Thomp-
son, the special representative of the
Dawson Daily News, who was sent
to the Tanana gold fields early in the
summer to investigate and report on
conditions, has sent to his paper one
of the cleanest and most comprehen-
sive reports yet received from the
new gold camp
Writing under date of June ? from
Fairbanks. Mr.. Thompson says:
Fairbanks is the largest log cabin
city in the world, excepting Dawson,

Only there is not quite so much mon

game, however, because my friends
| in Old England will wish to know
from me what it is like. Besides l
thought it probable that l could find
in it something worthy of writing
about to the Times.

Deuce take it, how am to know?
l proceeded to the place where
they play base ball. 1t is a field en-
closed by high board fence, and in
side there are seats like the grand
stand at Ascot or 'Almstead 'Eath.
There was jolly large concourse of
men and not O few women there,
porting over score cards, eating pea
nuts, drinking, and eating sand
witches.
Out in the field there were paths
forming a diamond, at each corner
of which was a pillow, used, l pre-
sumo by the runners, who, l hear,
'go to sleep on bases. About a
score of players were scattered In
the field, some tossing a ball to one
another and some knocking out balls

lad told me they were batting out
flies for practice. / did not see any
flies, but doubtless this was because
| was too far away to see the little
insects. My word, it seems to me

This was all preliminary, and pres
emily a blue clothed man shouted.
PLAY ball" Then half the players
took positions around the diamond
and the others, in turn stood at the
near corner of the diamond where
there was a slab instead of pillow
They struck at balls tossed from the
middle of the diamond. None of the
players hit the ball, and retired in
disgust, whereat there was much
cheering as we'll as chatting of the
unlucky players.
Then the others took their turn of
striking at the ball, one of them in
deed, knocking it some distance out
toward the fence. 1t was returned
before the man got half way around
the diamond, but there was much
cheering, nevertheless. / myself was
moved to cry: Hear! Heart" upon
which every one laughed.
Another man hit the ball, but 1t
was returned as he got to the first
pillow. Immediately there was Il
pickering in which most of the play
ers took part. The blue clothed one
assumed much authority q presume
he was a bobby and ordered one Of
the chief players away, whereupon
the latter, with the words, "dat fer
yours" playfully heaved a quid or
tobacco at him. Deuced bad form,

READY FOR THREE
DAYS OF MUSIC

Half hundred singers from Sc
attic who are to take part in the
Saengerfest the latter part of this
month came to Tacoma yesterday for
rehearsal. They met with the Tacoma
singers and spent the afternoon GO

cnoruses that will be rendered dur
ing the Saengerfest. This will prob
ably be the last full rehearsal
After the rehearsal the Seattle
singers were given a dinner at the
Donnelly cafe
The Saengerfest will open July %

bund, large crowds are expected from

Although everybody agrees that
this is good camp and they want TO
see a certain amount of people come
in here they do not approve of the
great amount of booming that is be-
ing done on the outside.
THE principal thing wanted here
is provisions, as they are scarce and
awfully high.
My own opinion of the camp is
that 1t is going to be one of the best
camps in Alaska, but not this COM
ing summer. I think those people
coming in here to go into business
would do just as well to wait until
next summer, one year from date.
All the creeks so far developed
are very rich but the principal diff
ficulty is grub and too many people
coming in broke.
There is great rivalry between
the towns of Fairbanks and Chenoa
Fairbanks is ten miles up a slough
from Chenoa and the slough is very
difficult to navigate owing TO the
shallow water. No boats drawing

here. The small steamers Isabella

WHEAT CROP ONE
OF THE LARGEST

Those who claim to know have de-

Washington will be unusually large
this year Harvesting is already in
progress in Walla Walla county, and
it is declared that the wheat crop
in that county this year will e
something enormous. Throughout
the Touchet Hills. North Yakima,
Eureka and Dixie sections a yield of
20 bushels TO the acre is expected.
Considerable wheat is on the move
TO clear the warehouses for the new
crop, and the price stands at 79c for
bluestem and 66c for club. The
wheat receipts for Tacoma during
June were 211 cars, aggregating
207,S35 bushels.

it has very few cases OF yellow fever TO
report today, and what have been reported
from the far south, where the pre-
ventive work has not yet had full
sway.
In Laredo Tex. where the most dan
gerous epidemic of the fever broke out
last year. the work has been effective
that the people are now abe to sleep with
out the use of mosquito netting-an almost
unheard-of luxury in that section of the
country.
In order to carry the work of prevention
to the greatest possible limit cases of
fever of any sort that break out nowadays
are Immediately surrounded by netting. 1t
is a popularity of yellow fever, says Or.
Wyman. that while 1t is contagious only
during the first three days 1t is not
until the fifth day of the fever that IL
can be known definitely whether or not IL IS
the dread yellow variety.
1t is now the practice to cover yellow
fever patients with wire netting that the
mosquitoes may not get TO them and carry
away the germs. This system of immediate
ly screening off all cases of fever is now
being rig!dly carried out in the extreme
southern points in Mexico, where a Few
cases of yellow fever have been discovered,
and 1t is thought that il Will check the
spreading of the disease.
Even though few cases or the leVer
may appear later on in the year, II is Thought
that it cannot possibly reach the point OF
a dangerous epidemic, and in another year,
if the work is carefully kept up, according
to the present plans. II Is hoped that yell
low fever will have disappeared, as far as
North America is concerned.
