Liverpool. Aug. l6--The Cunard

at the Huslusson dock, seriously dam
aged, having been almost Quilted from

broke out on board the liner Satur-
day evening.
The fire brigade of the vessel, with
two powerful motor engines. turned
out Immediately at the first alarm and
found the first saloon burning fercely
from end to end Despite all their
efforts the flames gradually worked
forward until it reached the storage,
consuming every particular of the

havoc with the forehold

decided to flood the vessel by admit

Soon she keeled over and her tunnels
came in contact with the cranes on
the dock and were badly damaged A
half dozen firemen who we're on the
gangway at this time were thrown
into the water, but all were rescued
A fleet of tugs then was brought into
requisition and pulled the liner up
right and held her until she settled
firmly on the mud bottom
1t was 10 o'clock in the morning
before abe fire was under control and
noon before the fire brigade was able

NET EARNINGS OF L. &E.

of S4,S73,O77.9S.
This is a remarkable statement
in view of the fact that the coun-

Bumper Crops
at CoVinston.
covineton Township is Gaining Prom
inence as a Farming Community.

Perhaps but few people can realize It,
but we must say that in the near future
Covington township will be known as
the garden spot of Baraga County.
The progressive farmers of that COM
munity, since the price of rough timber
has gone down the past two years, have
decided that they can get more money
out of farming, hence they are paying
strict attention to this business, and
the results are beginning to show in the
way of bumper crops. August Hutula
who has one of the largest and best
farms in the settlement, raised 5000
bushels of grain this year. In all, the
township has produced 5000 bushels of
grain, consisting Of wheat, oats. rye
and barley. The average yield per acre
for oats was forty bushels, while whea
was 80 bushels.
A large number of farmers are be-
ginning to locate in nhe community or
the cut-over timber lands, and with these
arrivals, improvements of all kinds
come, too. Splendid schools are located
in this community, and as the popula-
tion has been increasing very rapidly
during the past year, the Board of Ed
ucation has been called upon to con-
template building several new houses
of learning for next year.

Doings At the Board Of Health Meeting
Held at Lansing oct. 9Th. q,

Acting under the authority conferred
by the last legislature the state board
of health has ordered the use of the
common drinking cup abolishedin schools
and on trains and boats. Other, import
ant sanitary regulations were adopted
by the board at a meeting held in Lans-
ing Oct. Sand Secretary Shumway was
instructed to send out bulletins to
school officers and to arrange for a
conference with railroad officials rela-
tive to the action taken effecting their
business. The new measures are to be
put in force to check the spread Of the
white plague"
1t is expected that as result of the
edict issued by the state board that the
common drinking cup will soon be a
thing of the past in all public places in
the state, while plans are now being
prepared to bring about a great improve
ment in the sanitary conditions of the
schools and railroad trains.
Owing to the opposition of some
members of the medical profession to
making reports on contagious diseases
to the health officer, law was enacted
at the last session of the legislature
authorizing the state board of health to
designate those diseases which are
communicable and dangerous to the
public health and which must be re-
ported by the physician to the local
health officer and by the local health
officer to the state board of health, and
in compliance with this law, the board
has declared the following diseases to
be dangerous, communicable diseases
which must be reported by physicians
to the local health officer. and by the
local health officer to the state board of
health: Pneumonia, tuberculosis, typhoid
fever, meningitis, diphtheria, whooping
cough, scarlet fever, measles and small
pox.
The board passed rules and regulations
giving the preventive measures which
must be taken for each of the above
diseases, and also relating to the abate-
ment of nuisances, to insanitary condi-
tions of school buildings and their sur
roundings. to jails, and to private or
corporation:water supply and sewerage
disposal systems.
The board also ruled that tetanus,
rabies, erysipelas, leprosy and cancer
shall be reported for statistical purposes
and that no persons with open tuber-
culosis should be employed as teacher
in any of the schools of the state.
