To Fight the Mosquito to the Death
DR.. Bosley, Health Commissioner of Balti-
more city, has commenced his crusade
against the mosquito pest under the ordinance
that Mr.. "Stovey" Brown had passed by the
City Council. Speaking upon this subject
Mr.. Brown said:
II think it is important at this time to re-
peat for the benefit of those who have not
given attention to the subject of mosquito de.
struction the main facts which, if appreciated
by the people, should result in their hearty
cooperation in this movement.
1.-THE mosquito can breed only in standing
water. The female lays her eggs in standing
water because that is the only place they will
hatch. The eggs float on the water, and after
a few days hatch out little wrigglers, which,
swim in the waters, but must come to the sur
face to breathe. After living for week or ten
days the wriggler, floating near the surface in
slightly changed form, breaks open and
mosquito flies out.
The whole process from the time the eggs
are laid TO the time the mosquito comes out
lasts from ten days to two weeks, according to
the weather. So that II the standing water is
kept covered with coal oil by an application
made every two weeks, the young are all de-
stroyed and no mosquitoes produced. This
peculiar life history is what makes mosquito
determination possible if the people will only
do their share. If each householder will see
to it that his own premises are kept free from
breeding places, the mosquito will be rarity.
"I0e mosquitoes WHICH DIG Tue average
man are usually Matched in his own back yard
or the back yard of some near neighbor. The
mosquito is frail bird he keeps out of the
wind whenever he can find shelter, and does
not fly far from the place where he was born"
Fresh Air Society Buys q Farm.-The
Children's Fresh Air Society has completed ar
rangements for the purchase of a farm in Har-
ford county to which to send its little benefici-
aries for their outing during the summer. The
property, known as Dunkale Farm, is near
Fallston, Md. & Pa. Railroad. and includes 30
acres of land. There is large house on the
property, which will be used for housing the
girls, and the camp for the boys will be pitched
in a meadow. The purchase price was IS, 500
and special fund is being raised for this out
Law as none of the money sent to the Fresh
Air Society for the children's outing will be
used. The decision to buy permanent home
for the society's work was reached when the
members were confronted with the fact that
the owners of the properties heretofore occu-
pied would have other uses for them this season.

Deaths.

Deaths.
On the afternoon ofc January
9Th, 1907, at about 4 o'clock, the
death angel visited the home of
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. Jones, of
Push, n. c., and claimed for his
own the spirit of their 13-year-
old daughter, Maud. She was
an unusually sweet and interesting
child and the thought that we
will no more see her bright smiles
in the home, or Sabbath school,
of which she was a member,
makes our hearts sad. Maud
was a heavenly gift and we
thank God for her. She was
always a good child, very bright
and obedient, and she brought
so much light and love into the
home. No tongue can tell how
much theYmiss those bright eyes,
smiling lips and musical voice,
while to our jealous heart her
taking away seemed sad and un-
timely. still We know that every
life must be complete, and we
have the assurance that her
earthly mission was perfected in
the brief round of her life. Let
those who keenly feel the loss,
look up and face the light. We
feel deeply for the parents, sis
ter and borthers, who will miss
her so much from amid the family
circle. May God in his goodness
bring comfort and consolation to
their grieved hearts, and cause
them to see that His way is
best. MAGGIE LAWSON.

c. c. COPPER COMPANY
Preparing for Active Development Work
During the Winter

R. S. Van Campen has secured
contract from the Chelan Consolidated
Copper Co., to haul 100000 pounds
of freight to the mining camps on Red
Mountain. Just now he is engaged in
taking $4,000 pounds of dynamite to
the mine. He has four large teams
and takes from $4,000 to $4,000
pounds of freight on each trip. It
takes about five or six days to make a
round trip. Among other things taken
to the mines was a straight car OF gro
ceries. The balance of the freight
consisted of iron, coal, machinery,
lumber and horse feed. John Conway
who has had considerable experience
in building fumes for the Lamb-Davis
Lumber Co. was engaged some time
ago to build a fume to convey the
water to the turbines which will be used
to operate the compressed air drills.
Operations in the tunnel will be
carried on day and night by as large a
force or men as can be proftably en-
ployed. Some eighteen hundred feet
remain to be bored before the main
body of ore is reached. The tunnel
is eight feet in the clear both ways and
large enough for a double track.
The new manager, Mr.. Hitler is an
old and experienced mining engineer,
having been employed in some Of the
largest mines in Colorado. We conf
IDENTIFY believe that the Chelan Con
solidated is in dead earnest in their
effort to make a great mine on the
Red mountain.

As Near the Facts as they Ever Get

In the Wenatchee World Of Monday
the following was said:
Another citizen of Leavenworth was
brought here and jailed Saturday. This
should not be Interpreted to mean
that people prefer the Jail in Wenat-
chez to liberty in Leavenworth."
The facts are that negro was ar
rested here last Saturday on complaint
from Quincy where he had broken into
and robbed Great Northern car. The
officer who came here from Quincy
after the negro and took him to Water
vile by way of Wenatchee said he
wired to the Wenatchee officers to
take the coon in but they were too
slow there to catch anything but the
seven year itch and he had to wire the
Leavenworth officers to look out for his
man -

FRIDAY, OCTOBER IL, 1907.
A Degenerate Jury

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Oct l.
The trial of James Gordon, charged
with the attempt of a nameless crime
upon little Mary Kelly, 9 years old,
was the first case to be called at the
present term of court, which began
this morning. After being out one
hour the jury returned a verdict Of
guilty, and recommended the prisoner
to the leniency of the court.
The above appeared in the daily
papers OF Tuesday last. 1t would be
interesting to know what the judge
thought of a jury that would recon-
mend for leniency a monster who had
been proven guilty of nameless crime
on nine year old child.
The next time a crime of this kind
is committed in Walla Walla county
there will probably be an account of a
hanging without the formality Of trial,
at least if there is not there ought 10
be.
Recommend a vile monster to len
iency who has committed an assault
upon a child nine years old, indeed.
Quick hanging is mercy that should
be dealt out to all such wretches, that
may escape the stake.
We can only think Of jury that re-
commends mercy under such circum-
stances in the same connection with
those nameless wretches that traffic in
the virtue of their own kith and kin.
Out upon such juries; they are de-
generate citizens.
