The Journal has received a letter
from r. E. Baker and son, former
residents of this city, who left last
summer for the gold fields of Alaska
where they are now located. Mr.,
Baker, sr., gives a graphic descrip-
tion of their trip, tells about the
way they are living at present in
their new home, which we print be-
low:
II will not say much about our
last trip into Alaska from home,
other than we had very pleasant
one. Yet, / could go all the way
around the globe for about the same
price. When we got to Valdez, we
had to stop over there three days
that was cheap. The stage was due
in three days from Fairbanks so
when we left Valdez, we drove 7s
miles the first day. That was when
meals we're only 800, but from
then on, meals were $500 and beds
the same price. We travelled only
20 miles per day until we reached
Fairbanks and the cost for meals and
beds was $14S, besides the stage
fare, which was $3.50. The total
expense of this little junket would
build a good sized bungalow in Salem
and 1t makes me wonder why we do
these things. At any rate, we had
a nice trip and paid for 1t like
man and 1 am not kicking. If
have not got sense enough to stay
at home whore l should be, let me
grow old and get wiser.
Well, now we are in Alaska again
and 1t seems pretty much the same.
only more quiet than we ever saw it
before and especially in this part of
the country. There was big STAN
pede from the Tanana to the Iditroid
country during the summer and
these dam river stampedes are al
ways very popular, as anyone who
can get small boat, can float away
on one of these stampedes so about
one-half of Fairbanks went down
the river. Now a few are coming

SALEM man WRITES
LETTER FROM ALASKA

back saying there is nothing there,
This is always the case in these new
camps. Fairbanks was just the
same and so was Nome and even
Dawson had its kickers, while Daw-
son, of course, had the advantage
of every other camp in Alaska as
there was millions of dollars coming
in from the outside and had money
to go on notwithstanding the mints
for while. Now each new camp
has got to run on it's own resources
or go out of business. Alaska is
short on people who prospect for
nine-tenths of the people who are
here, want to get into business of
some kind or do anything but pros
pect, so Alaska is bound to be slow
until we get sufficient force to go
ahead and develop the country in
the proper manner. 1t is the uni
versal opinion of all who have vis-
tied Alaska that there is gold in al
most any locality, still the hardships
to contend with are as yet many,
However, these hardships will soon
be overcome when better means OF
transportation of supplies to all
points in the territory is had, which
we are trying to do as fast as we
can.
We have dog team and have
travelled to date, approximately 500
miles and have only just COM
menced. We set camp every night,
and tell you it is lots of fun. We
could stand it better than we do,

ask as we shovel snow for our tents
what would the folks at home say
If they saw us making camp like

that the male part of the Baker
family had gone bug house or as
near that as you could in a gentle
manly way, and l sure would say

TO FIGHT DISEASES.
Porter Organizes Force of
Medical Experts.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune

Albany. Feb. 27-Announcement was
made to-day by the State Health Depart
ment that Commissioner Porter had or
ganized throughout the state force of
medical experts to carry active war
fare against contagious and infectious dis
eases. These physicians will hold a con-
ference with Health Department officials
here on March and 9.
1t is the purpose of this movement TO
aid the local health authorities in check
ing the spread of epdemics of contagious
diseases. The men chosen by DIR. Porter
are mostly well known physicians, who
taking up this work largely from a
sense of duty. The state will be divided
into districts over which these experts
will have Jurisdiction AS an organized
force in cooperation with the State Health
Department they will work with the local
authorities in time of need But their
chief work will be preventive and educa-
tonal. At the conference ways and means
will be discussed to carry out in the best
fashion this general programme. These
experts expected particularly to look
after the enforcement of the public health
laws in connection with their educational
campaign and 10 make prompt diagnosis
of suspicious diseases and in that way
make certain quick az effective action In
checking epidemics
A bulletin issued by the Health Depart
ment declares that last year more than so
per cent of the deaths were caused by pre-
ventable diseases Typhoid fever killed
1909, the direct result of impure water
supplies Scarlet fever caused l. 204 deaths
On the other hand, diphtheria. formerly
regarded as almost incurable. caused only
2.306 deaths. where before 1885 1t killed
$500 annually. The difference is due to
the modern antitoxin treatment Measles,
once thought almost negligible. killed 1870
people last year. and the Health Depart
ment thinks II very serious disease-one
to the dangers of which the people need
their attention called.
In explaining the purpose of this new
campaign against disease the Health De-
partment says:
"A case of smallpox arouses the public
al once. while measles and scarlet fever
are considered as pecessary evils; yet
smallpox caused only four deaths In 1909
In the whole state. while the other two

Real estate owners in the city Of New
York almost unanimously in favor of
the abolition of the personal property tax.
although such action on the part Of the
state would mean higher tax rates on real
estate, according to the statistics gathered

thousand letters TO representative citizens
and taxpayers TO ascertain the general SEN
tment on the question of the personal prop
erty tax.
The recipients of the letters were asked to
state the amount of their real estate tax in
1853 in the city of New York and in the state
outside the city: their personal property
tax; whether they were assessed in this
city or elsewhere: whether they favored the
abolition of the present personal property
tax and whether they favored the entire
exemption of personal property Tom taxa

received from 215 persons. who stated the

AGAINST CORRUPTION
Bill You'd Ertend 1ct to
Primaries.
I BY Telegraph TO The Tribune. !

by Telegraph TO The Tribune
Albany. Feb. 27.-Important amendments
70 the corrupt practices laws will be intro
duced tomorrow night by Senator J. May
hew Wainwrign; and Assemblyman Jesse
Phillips. They will be embodied in three
bills. prepared by the Association to Pre-
vent Corrupt Practices at Elections. Sen
ator Wainwright has handled most Of the
legislation this line in other years
The most important bill is one extending
the provisions Of the corrupt practices act
10 primaries Under it candidates for nomi-
nation to office or candidates for party
office at the primaries viii have to file
statements of their expenses just as can
didates for election do now. This provision
was drafted because of conditions in some
upstate counties, where nomination virtu-
ally means election and much money is
spent to win the nomination
This bill extends the definition of party
committee 20 include organizations. combi-
nations and committees that laid or take
part in the election or defeat of a candi-
date for nomination at a primary election
or convention, including all proceedings
prior TO such primary election or of a can
didate for any office. whether public or not
TO be voted for primary election, or to
aid or defeat the nomination by petition of
candidate under the primary law" The
bill also provides that candidates for nom-
nation al a primary election convention
or for nomination by petition under the
election law shall file statements of their
expenses. The existing law is strengthened
still further by requiring treasurers of pc
litical committees to file accounts of all re-
ceipts and disbursements, except that dis
bursenents To political workers not ex-
ceeding So need be specifically ac-
counted for.
One of the other bils-an amendment to
the penal LAWS of great importance 1t
provides that the names of the election
workers shall be published and that they
shall wear distinctive badges. This was
drawn because of the suspicion that in
some counties money was being spent for
the purchase of votes, although on official
statements il appeared having been paid
10 political workers. In other words. the
association believed that there was a sys-
tenatic purchase Of pole workers. whose
only work was to cast their votes in &C
Cordance with the dictation of the men who
hired them The third bill extends the
penalties for violation of the corrupt prac-
tees act to candidates for nomination at
primary elections and conventions or by
petition
