WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. g.
American race waste-more serious
than race suicides pointed out in
Census Mortality Bulletin No. 104,
in which it is estimated that annual
ly in the United States from 100000
to 200 900 babies under five years of
age die from preventable causes.
This great loss of life among the
little ones at the period when they
are most loving and most loveable
could be prevented, is the opinion
of DR.. Greasy l.. Wilbur, chief stat
istician for vital statistics of the cen
u bureau, who prepared the bull
letin, on the basis of present day
knowledge of sanitary measures. For
the accomplishment of effective pre-
ventive work in this direction, DR..
Wilbur holds that the prompt reg
istration of all births and the more
careful and precise statement of
cause of death by physicians are es-
sential.
In analyzing and comparing the
totals obtained in the compilation of
transcripts of death returns received
for the year 1908 by the censu bu-
reau from the entire death registra-
ton area of the United States, as set
forth in the bulletin, those for age
periods show a somewhat increased
per cent of deaths Of infants under.

ratios for each Of the individual
years from n to four are identical
for 1907 and 1908. OF the total

for 1908 from the entire registration
area, it is stated in the bulletin that
nearly one-fifth were of infants un-
der one year Of age and over one
fourth OF children less than five
Years Of age. 1t is declared that the
brute force of the figures represent
ing the actual death is more impress
sive, however, than any ratios or
than the rate of infant mortality.
even If the latter could be computed
in the absence of proper registration
of births. Here are the figures:
More than one-eighth of a million
babies, under n year of age and
fully 100000 children, under five
years of age, died among about one
half of the total population Of the
United States in the year mentioned.
It is considered probable that fully
100000 more died in those cities ana
states not included in the census bu-
reau death registration In this
connection Dr.. Wilbur quotes Profess
sor Irving Fishers conclusion that
of all the diseases of infancy, having
the medium age one year, At per

If James ]. Hill does not buy the
Moffat road it will be because D. H.
Noffat asks very much more than
Mr.. Hill thinks it is worth, says the
Salt Lake Republican. Hill recent
ly paid eight times the 100000
cost price Of the Colorado & South
ern in order to get it, SO there is
little doubt he will be willing to
give Moffat a good profit on his
line. Moffat is now in New York
negotiating with Mr.. Hill. He has
refused a number of offers for his
road.
The history of the Moffat road is
that Of one mans stubborn obstin-
acy against the advice of all his
fellow financiers.
cit will break you," is what they
told Moffat when he said he was
going to build a railroad from Dem
yer to Salt Lake. He laughed ana
selected the very route that years
before the Union Pacific engineers
had pronounced impossible. 1t was
the shortest line, but there wa,
plenty of engineering authority for
saying no railroad would be built.
Mr.. Moffat was worth between $780,
OOO, 900 and $40, 200, 900, but it was
tied up in real estate, stocks and
mines. No other railroad was ever
so costly for some of the miles, con-
sequently there came a time when he
sought to borrow money on his road.
Financiers simply would not hear
of it.: so Mr.. Moffat sold some of his
holdings and put them into the road.
Finally he got across the Rockies
and put on one train each way OF
mixed cars. Every day the train was
crowded and the fares charged were
on a stage line basis. Presently
the road began paying expenses,
and when it got fairly into Routt
county it began making money.
Those profits are now being used to
extend the line, and while not very
much is heard about it, the Mofat
road is creeping along toward Salt
Lake, just as the builder said 1T
would. No one doubts now that Mr..
Noffat can build it to Salt Lake
without anyone's ala. He has a
pretty good roaoped along the route

impossible. Some of his trains are

lar delays happen to the Southern
Pacific when its s~nowsheds get on
fire. Eventually all that will be
done away with by snowsheds and
tunnels.
Mr.. Moffat has reached the age OF
three score and ten, and no doubt he
would be willing to relinquish the
road at a fair profit. He has built
many roads but never lost money on
any of them. and no one doubts now
his last 'crazy venture" will be the
most profitable of them all.
Mr.. Moffat before he returns from
New York will know whether he Is
going to keep the road or sell it to
Mr.. Hill. If Hill buys it the road
will get to Salt Lake somewhat
quicker, and Hill will probably build
on to the Pacific coast. If he does
not buy it he will extend theBurling-
ton from it's Wyoming terminus to
the Pacific coast. In either event
Salt Lake is very likely to be on the
line of the new transcontinental
route.

Once reporter went around to q
certain residence In New York TO get
details about thu master of the house
who had just died, in order that an
obituary notice might appear In the
newspaper which he represented. Such
details, as a rule, are easy to get, as
few people have objections to giving
them. out for publication. The report,
er, therefore, was intensely surprised
when the widow of the deceased, with
scarcely a word, slammed the door In
his face.
She retired into the house. Pres
ently the doorbell rang furiously. She
refused to stir. Again the doorbell
rang, more furiously than before Still
the lady of the house would not STIR
Il had told him that / don't want
to say anything about my husband"
she thought TO herself, land he has
no right to be so persistent"
So she sat still, while the doorbell
rang again and again and again.
At last she could stand it no longer.
So, opening window over the front
door, she poked her head out and re-
marked, severely:
Young man, | do not desire to say
anything to you. Kindly do not dis
turb me any more. Go away, young
man"
