LAKE COMMERCE IS TIED UP.
Strike Declared by the Longshoremen's
Association.

great lakes, save for the lumber car
riers and the passenger boats that carry
package freight, is tied up. The Inter-
national Longshoremen's Association

dock workmen quit. Off Cleveland
and Ashtabula and Erie the great ore
carriers are riding at anchor, and in
the harbor of Buffalo the grain carriers
are massing all along the breakwater.
Fifty thousand men are idle, men
who earn on average $3.50 a day.

pend on lake commerce are losing vast

wages, but to force vessel owners to

Rural water supply.
COLORADO.

When such great sums OF money are
being expended by city Eovernments
that the Inhabitants of towns may
have . sanitary water supply. 1t seems
strange that the supply In rural towns
should receive little or no attention.
This latter population may seem rel
atively Insignificant, but according to
tbs last census 1t comprises about 49,
000.00 souls. This means that 40
o0O. 900 people are drinking the water
most available. without thought OF
It's sanitary condition. These various
sources Of supply. whether wells.
springs or small streams, are similarly
unreliable for furnishing drinking wa
tsr. The statistics Of mortality in the
country are very indefinite. bvt even
these show that the rural population 10
not ~ free from illness as 1t should be.
And though everywhere the rural
dsath rate Is lower than the urban
death rate. yet the lowering In the
country has not been ~ great az In
the city. An examination of typhoid
statistics shows that the death rate OF
other diseases Is generally lower In
tho country than in the city. but the
prevalence Of typhoid is almost equal
u II not greater In the rural districts
than In the cities. Several instances
have been reported which show the
rural typhoid rate to BE- ten times
greater than the urban rate for the
same district. To particularize. q cer-
tain district In central Pennsylvanis
proves this fact. 1t II made up Of .
rural population with 100 inhabitants

there seems to be NO remedy for It.
