Plans are under way for the possible
adoption locally of an electric milk
purifying process, which is IN use IN
some mainland communities, TO remove
tuberculosis or other germs from milk.
As result of invest cations now under
way, this process may be adopted here
instead of the plan of pasteuriz ng the
milk from the dairies.
Dr.. ]. 5. B. Pratt. of the board of
health, is about to leave for the main
land. and while away will investigate
for the Dairymen : Association as well
as for the board of health. 1t is claim
ed for the electric process that 1t alb
solutelv cleanses milk of all germs.
In view Of the critical situation with
regard to the local milk supply, the
suggested publication scheme Is looked
upon with special interest. The pro
portion of tuberculous cattle here IS
So large, according TO the latest reports,
that it IS not believed possible all at

signs, he gave up. believing Fitz- patrick must have gone to the Roy ukuk river or the Yukon. Seeing that the snow was so deep, Nicol knew that it was impossible for his partner to get back without help. unless he had followed some Indian trail, and did not expect him 10 show up until the middle of De Cember. as some of the rivers were not in a condition suitable for travel Snow fell every night. Indians in the district said that there had not been so much snow in 40 years.
 As time passed and nothing was seen or heard of Fitzpatrick. Nicol started to come out. He travelled about ten days, breaking trail through deep snow. which was about six feet deep, but eventually had to give up and return. The return journey was made in one afternoon. Nicol then decided to remain for the rest of the winter. doing devel- opment work. Before coming out he spent two days searching the neighborhood, but could find no trace of the missing man. On May 20. about seven days after the ice went out, Nicol started for the Yukon, with the idea of getting help. liar ry Yanert and George McGuire, of Hot Springs. offered their assist ance and the three returned and spent another three weeks in a vain search for some clue as to FitzpatriCk's whereabouts, but, ow- ing to the heavy growth of vegeta- ton concluded that their task was useless. So they returned and Nicol came on to Fairbanks.
 Mir. Nicol wishes to express his sincere thanks to Yanert and Me Guire for their disinterested efforts in aiding in the search.
 When Mir. Nicol arrived at Yu- kon he informed the District Attor ney of his fears regarding the fate of Fitzpatrick, and was advised b" that official to notify the lost mans relatives in Canada. This Nicol has done.
 MT. Nico is of the opinion that his partner must have met with an accident, and been incapacitated from reaching camp He scouts the idea that Fitzpatrick could have lost himself as he was an experienced man. and strong and healthy. There is no doubt that the unfortunate man is dead, He was 9 years old.
