 Needles has been suffering from a surplusage of mosquitoes the past month, and last week some of the in- habitants entered into an agreement with one of the sOrceresSes of the Mo- have tribe, an old crone of very un- certain age, who for the modest sum of eighteen dollars, agreed to drive the pests from the town. The money was raised and the squaw went into retreat to conjure the great god of the mosquito family to betake his tribe far and away from the town, and it is stated on the best of authority that for three whole days thereafter there was not one of the pests in evidence, but To, OF the fourth day they return ed in such greater numbers that the people now believe they simply went over to the Arizona side of the river to invite their relatives to the good pickings they were having on the full blooded Needlesites.

for War on the
Disease
rBy Associated Press.I ]

NEW YORK, Oct. 21-A number of
noted physicians and surgeons have
announced the tentative organization
of the American radium institute, to
be devoted to the treatment of cancer
and similar diseases.
The object of the association is
not commercial and plans to conquer
cancer through the application of ra-

Supplies of pitchblende for manufac-
ture are to be drawn from Colorado
and other western localities, where the
initial processes Of extracting the ra-
dium will be conducted
1t is planned to have factory In
New York for the preparation of the
radium.
The first hospital where cancer pa
tients are to be treated Will be IN
this city, and it is considered prob
able that another will be established
possibly in Chicago. .o
The market price of radium Is $1,000
for ten mflligrams, or approximately
S2,7O0,O0O a pound.
The new institute plans to manu-
facture sufficient radium to be aple
to supply it to practitioners through
out. the country.
The scientists who place such great
faith in radium and who are estao-
fishing the institute are not only pro-
viding the necessary funds, but Will
devote much of their time to pro-
noting the success of the affair.

LONDON. Oct. 21.-The Bank OF
England today raised its maximum
rate of discount another full point, to
5 per cent, the highest point since the
American furry of 1907
This is the third consecutive week
that the directors have considered 1t
necessary to strengthen the barriers
against a further leakage of the gold
reserve.
The international monetary position
shows no material improvement during
the week, and the banks reserve,
which is now nearing Sill, 100000, was
threatened with further depletion
this week by the South American ana
Egyptian requirements, estimated at
81 500, 900.
Foreign exchanges have been stead
lily against London, particularly Ber-
lin, where gold is badly needed and
where the next arrival of the metal
probably would have gone but for the
imposition of the per cent rate.
1t is known that requirements from
other centers would soon have re-
duced the reserve to below $l000,O00,O0
unless the new rate attracted gold.
The market sees in today's movement
a general warning against speculative
operations, and the announcement was
followed by a dropping in prices Of
British securities. Kaffirs recovered
almost Immediately, but America
shares, which early in the day were
above parity, fell away. United States

CANADA NEEDS
WORKINGMEN
BRITISH COLUMBIA UNABLE TO
FINISH ROAD
GRAND TRUNK PRESIDENT WILL
RESIGN POSITION
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, Head of Big
Dominion Line, viii Retire
on Pension - Labor
Discussed
[By Associated Press.1

LONDON, Oct. 21.-Slr Charles Rivers
Wilson, who was to retire from the
presidency OF the Grand Trunk railway
Of Canada at the close of the present
year, presided today for the last time
at a meeting of the board of directors.
In addressing the board Sir Charles
expressed a hopeful view Of the busi-
ness situation, and said there had been
a marked improvement In the CONNER
cial conditions so far during the latter
half of this year.
He referred to the absence of suffi-
oient help in British Columbia, and said
that he feared the lack of laborers to
be obtained there would make it i'm
possible to fulfill the promise of COM
pleting the roads extension to Prince
Rupert, on the Pacific coast, by De-
cember of 1911.
President Wilson complained that the
government authorities of British Co
lumbia had given but little aid in solY-
ing the problem of obtaining laborers
and had absolutely refused permission
for the importation of Chinese and
Japanese.
He said personally he was opposed to
the appointment of an advisory board
in Canada, but that he would offer no
strong objection to the plan if it should
be favored by a large proportion of the
Grand Trunk shareholders.
1t was Indispensable, he added, that
the financial control of the company
should remain in London,
The meeting became noisy when 1t
was proposed to grant Sir Charles an
annual pension of $500.
After the adoption of an amendment
deferring consideration of the matter
for one year, the temporary chairman
announced that a poll would be taken
to determine whether the directors were
in favor of the original motion.
The poll proved an overwhelming
sentiment in favor of the motion; ac-
cordingly pension for Sir Charles is
assured.

tion was 12S, 634 ,025 gallons and the
nroduction so far this year is said to

Barriers Against Gold
Exhaust

BERLIN, Oct. 21.-The action of the
Bank of England in raising its discount
rate today took Berlin by surprise. The
fnaneIers in discussing the increased
rate assign American speculation and
demand for money as the chief cause.
A steady rise In the English check
rate in the last few days has already
raised the fear that the gold export
point soon will be reached. In that
event another advance In the Imperial
German bank is regarded as certain.
In the meantime it Is understood that
in the opinion of the managers of the
Imperial German bank no occasion exists
for a further advance now.
