AWAITING NEWS
FROM JACK LONDON
Friends and Relatives Of the Famous Novelist Who With
His Wife Has Been on the Ocean in Small Boat
for Many Months An1ously Hope for Tidings
by Tomorows Steamer

Many nautical experts are more
hopeful and believe that the Shark
would be able to outride any ordinary
storm. 1t is considered possible that
the vessel has been delayed by some
damage to its machinery or its gaso-
line engine, which furnished the mo
tive power, and that 1t may now be
drifting about the South Pacific. or
that the wayfarers have been forced
to land on some inhabited island.
The Shark was equipped with a gaso-
line engine of 75-horse power. with
which she was able to make ten
knots an hour.
Jack London, with Mrs. London
Captain Eames, his wife's uncle,
Martin Johnson of Independence
Kan; Japanese cabin boy and a
Chinese cook sailed from here on the
little Shark on May 4, 1907. The
Shark carried 1000 gallons of gaso-
line. to last 1000 miles. and this
supply was replenished in Hawaii
Mariners believe that the little vessel
may have been carried out of its way
by the terrific gales now prevalen,
in the Pacific and that 1t is yet toe
early to give 1t up as lost.

EXPOSITION on "nLAcK L1sr.v

Seattle. Wash. Jan. 24.-Members
of labor unions everywhere are warn
ed by the labor bodies of Seattle and
Washington to stay away from the
Alaska -Yukon-Pacific exposition, and
have placed that gigantic project on
the unfair" or 1--WE don't patronize
list" This action has been taken as
a result of the employment of non
union labor in the construction work
now in progress on the exposition
site. The directors of the exposition
company have refused to alter their
policy in regard to the "open shop.
and as result the labor union boy
cott will likely continue and organic
ed labor will have no representation

ANY OLD TREE WILL
GROW IN COLORADO

The most important event at the
of the Colorado State
Forestry association, which opened at
the Albany hotel this morning, was
the announcement by DR.. B. B. Crei-
ghton. one of the men chosen by the
State Agricultural school to conduct
the experiments, that valuable trees
other than evergreens will grow any
where in Colorado where there is a
rainfall of twelve to fifteen inches
annually, and as there is no part of
the state where the rainfall is below
these figures it means that every acre
in the state may be utilized, and
there may be great forests where
now are only arid plains.
Other subjects of Importance were
the resolution presented by the com
mittee on resolutions memoriallzins
congress to repeal the timber and
stone act. under which the majority
of the land frauds in Colorado have
been committed, and asking the same
body to take some action whereby
power and irrigation companies may
be given rights of way for their trans
mission lines and canals within the
boundaries of the national forests

San Francisco. Jan. 24.-Greatest
anxiety is felt by the friends and
relatives of Jack London for the
safety of the novelist and his party,
and the arrival of the steamer Mari
posa, due here tomorrow from BAH,
Tahiti. Is hopefully awaited in the
expectation that 1t will bring news of
London. Not since October last.
when the little power boat Shark. in
which Mr.. and Mrs. Jack London are
touring the world, left Hilo. Hawaii,
has the party been heard from. The
destination of the Shark was Mar
quesas island in the South Pacific,
and was expected to reach that point
early in December. Many weeks
have since passed with no message
from the distinguished writer and no
report as to the whereabouts of the
staunch little vessel which so bravely
weathered the broad expanse of sea
lying between San Francisco and
Hawaii. the first stopping place on
the foolhardy circuit. If no message
is received by the Mariposa tomor-
row. many of the authors friends
will give him up as lost, victim OF
his own originality and genius.

THE DEADLY FLY.
, = + = : = + + + + + + 4. + 4. + .

Il y u
More and more 1t is becoming GER
tain that the dangerous members of
the animal kingdom are not tigers,
nor lions. nor elephants, nor even
horses: whose crazy folly does more
damage each year than the ferocity
of the entire cat tribe accmplishes
in many years. The palm for deadli-
ness belongs among the insects; and
may properly be a matter of dispute
between flies and mosquitoes. The
mosquito, we know, is an essential in
the propagation of malaria and yell
low fever. The fly, 1t is becoming
pretty sure, is a great big factor IN
the spread of typhoid fever. and of
every other intestinal disease as well.
Recently commission employed
by some philosophical men In New
York made cereful study of the fly.
They found that every fly they could
catch was loaded with germs of some
sort, many of them being the hosts
of germs of the worst intestinal dis
eases They called attention to the
prevalence of the fly; to the fact
that he rejoices in the foul places of
earth, and from them carries his
germs to the most carefully guarded
regions. They pointed out that In
testinal diseases are prevalent, not In
proportion to the hot weather. but
in proportion to the number of flies
Not the heat, but the insect scaven'
gers which come with the heat, are
the real danger.
No one has yet suggested a way OF
getting rid of flies. That would be
a harder problem than disposing OF
mosqultoes. And vet, this much Is
already certain: Either the fly mus
go. or infective intestinal diseases
must remain And we are of opin'
ion that mankind will never consen;

tain News.

HARDNESS DETERMINED
BY OFFICERS ARTERIES

Chicago. Jan. 24.-Policemen In
Chicago are to be retired in the
order of the hardness of their
arteries.
at has been determined beyond
dispute that a man is as old as his
arteries" said Health Commissioner
Evans last night, explaining the plan
on which the retiring board will
work.
while it is an universal rule that
as a man grows older, his arteries
harden yet the process of hardening
does not move evenly with the years
The arteries of man of so may be
harder than those of another man
of 65. 1t depends on the way he has
lived"
The machine for testing the arter-
les is a hollow band put around the
biceps of the arm and connecting
with rubber tube which runs to !
common pulp bulb In the hand.
By working the bulb the person
being examined forces air into the
band around the arm until it swell,
enough to stop the pulse. A mercur,
standard attached indicates how
much pressure this takes.
