Not a Woman Was Saved
Second Raft.

VICTORIA, Is. c., Jan. 2I.-With the
finding of four more SURVIVORS OF the
Valencia disaster on Turret island, II
of the archipelago in the center OF Bark
lev sound, the total number OF sur
vivors accounted for reaches thirty
sever persons. The III other persons
who were on the Valencia have uli-
doubtedly persisted, as the ship is
known to have broken up. Not u wo'
man was saved.

Port Townsend, Wash, with twenty
three survivors, of whom eighteen were
those rescued from Il raft by the Tope-

The rescue party and nine survivors

ing march over the almost impossible
trail.
+. ConuorS, the survivor of the wreck
who got lost on Turtle island, was

Nelson, third engineer. and an Ameri-
a marine from the United States bat
tleship Concord.
Advices from Uclulet state that the
ten men who left the Valencia on the
second life raft drifted into Barkley
sound. On arriving at a small island
off Village island Wilson, third en-
gineer, jumped overheard and in at
tempting to swim ashore was drowned.
The remaining nine landed on Turret

WAR
TO PAY ITSELF
Few Cents Per Inhabitant Would
Exterminate Pest and In
crease Tax Income.

At a meeting of the conference
committee on Prof. John b. smith S
s350,000 plan of mosquito eXterml-
nation, at Newark, Thursday night,
the plan was recommended to the
legisloture for adoption. The plan
was shown to be feasible and the
cost per acre or inhabitant quite
small, with prospects of increasing
the valuation of the property affect
ed, thereby increasing tax income,
and also inducing greater population
into the territory, which is mainly
along the coast. Eighty per cent. of
the states population is in the af-
fected territory. The committee drew
Up the following report:
Mr.. President:-Your committee
has had under consideration the
lain of DR.. John B. Smith, New Jer-
sey state entomologiSt, that all the
salt marsh mosquito breeding places
within the state can be eliminated
or the sum of $315,0O0, together
with his request for state aid.
I'm 1903 DR.. Smith announced be-
ore this conference committee that
III the salt marsh mosquito breeding
places to be found in $500 acres of
ALT marsh in the city of Newark,
Gould be drained for $1,000 Oess
han So per acre. We thought the
estimate too low but Dr.. Smith found
I contractor to make a bid for that
AMOUNT of money. The Newark
BOARD of health ordered the work
lone. The work was completed in
1904 and in 1906 your committee
n spected the marshes and found the
bitches in perfect condition, with
water running in and out with the
Use and fall of the tide. No mos
Iuito breeding whatsoever could be
'ound upon the meadows. DR..
smiths plan was to dig deep, narrow
litches approximately every $50 feet
apart throughout the meadows.
these small bitches are connected
With lateral drains.
Last spring DR.. Smith traced salt
marsh mosquitoes born in State Is
land as far as Madison and Morris
own, twenty-five miles away. He
old the New York health authorities
$1,000 was sufficient to eliminate
he salt marsh breeding places on
Staten Island. The contract was let
or less than that amount and the
work is nov well in hand.
The work done in Elizabeth under
Dr.. Smiths supervision, shows that
he cost there is approximately IS
Der acre. aNlny of the flats along the
coast are free from breeding places
md the cost of draining will there
ore greatly vary in cost per acre.
Your committee therefore accepts DR..
smiths estimates as being sufficient
70 drain or fill all the breeding places
in the salt marshes within the state.
DR.. Smith has traced the mosqui-
-oes from their breeding places forty
niles inland. He has found that they
frequently occur as a pest twenty
miles from salt marshes. At the
present time there is a unanimity OF
opinion among authorities that those
mosquitoes that breed most numer-
Ously on the salt marshes breed no
where else. They have the migra-
DRY habit, they travel long distances.

 Here Is the whole nasty mess ex- posed. The Republican national com mitteeman for North Earolina, keen for ways and means to help the admin istration In it's plight, tells about MrB Morris who was treated by an AshevIlle physician for insanity. The story comes to the ears of the Districts chief of police, even more eager to assist the administration, fin It's dilemma, partly for reasons of A personal and family nature. He grasps, at it with joy. lio writes for the discriminating letter from the physician. He recks nothing of the breach of professional confidence Involved in the brazen volunteer ex- posture of the secrets of a supposed pa- tient. He does not stop to consider the possibility of it's faisity. All he wants is that letter. He gets 1t, and 1t goes into the record of the case, so rapidly growing fin to national scandal And, finally, the Senate committee majority flaunts 1t before the Senate, Knowing that 1t had been denied. and persists iu exploiting 1t as evidence.
 1t Is plain before that the case should be referred back to the commit tee with instructions to conduct a impartial and formal investi- Ration.
