There is nothing incredible in this an

frequently the approximation has been 80

If it be true that rubber can be more
cheaply made than extracted from trees and
shrubs growing only in a few narrowly re-
stricted and rather unpleasant parts of the

the thought that cheap rubber will be to
the world q boon of enormous value.
But the chemists needn't be so proud Of

The report that the plague was taken to
Porto Rico by a steamer with cargo from
South America seems to be correct, and 1T
was rumoured that there were deaths aboard
from it; one OF the employees of the firm to
whom the cargo was consigned died Of it.
On the outbreak of the sickness, when the
local medical authorities were guessing about
it, q doctor who had experience with the DIS
ease in the PHILIPPINES declared it to be
plague. For so doing he was called up by
the authorities and warned about the conse-
quences to the island Of circulating such a
report, but the doctor proved himself right
by inoculating two rabbits with tue blood vi
u plague stricken man; both man and rabbits
died.
Among the first to die from the plague
was one Jeppe, g st. Thomian, After him
was q cartman who was infected by having
handled a rat that died of plague. Both
died within some hours. Thereafter a notice
was published forbidding persons to handle
dead rats except by using a grip stick.
When the sickness became known some
two hundred well-to-do families left the city
and suburban towns for other distant parts,
and many for New York.
The people in the city are told not to be
alarmed, the chief medical officer saying that
the sickness will be stamped out i'll about a
year. Whether the doctor has really fixed
that time for it's extinction is not sure, but
Judging from the experience of Trinidad it
does not appear too long q time; it may be
longer, or less, and we trust it will be wiped
out before.-St. Thomas Bulletin, July

discover what the sickness was and made it
known was an old Spanish doctor, and the
local Spanish papers spoke out while others
suppressed reports.
On the nature of the sickness being posi-
lively declared the most energetic measures
were adopted to try and check it's spread.
Numerous sanitary inspectors with gangs of
men were appointed, and the work of clean
ing up the town by sections began. Houses
were washed with kerosene and creOlin, and
dlslntected; rigorous cleanliness OF persons
clothing was enforced and no packages al
lowed to go out of the city. It is estimated
that the expense to the Government at the
outset was about one thousand dollars daily.
Much confusion prevailed, and large num-
bers of persons left the island, mostly for
the States.
A correspondent writing to a friend here,
speaking OF the anxiety caused by the APP
pearance of the plague, warns US in st.
Thomas to do our best to keep the sickness
out, and not to relax the efforts to improve
the sanitary conditions. 1t is realized in
Porto Rico he says that the epidemic is
spreading and will be extremely difficult to
stamp out meanwhile the effects Of it are
being felt in many ways.
The graveness of the situation that wolld
ensue were st. Thomas to become infected
with plague is such that one almost shrinks
from the mere thought of it. II would be
her knockout blow, as when once down on
the list of plague places it would be hard to
ever get off Gas the experience of other
places proves, and the consequences simply
rulnous, for with every door-beginning with
Tortola and its mutually important daily
communication-closed against us the re-
sulting situation may be better imagined
than described.
If the big towns with their internal re-
sources and ample means, medical and fl
nancial, of fighting the sickness find its ex-
termination well nigh impossible, what would
become of o little place like ours, SO utterly
resourceless, unprepared and unable to cope
with / it and unable to stand the economic
strain that would follow Quarantine, there
fore, is our only safeguard against its intro
duction, whether from Trinidad or Porto
Rico, not however a quarantine that COM
pels passengers to remain aboard ship but
allows officers and gangs Of coal workers

guards in the country and outbays with load

FRANKNESS
PLEASED ALL
EVERY AID GIVEN COMMITTEE
HudSOn'S Enemies in Atlanta
Have SCant Satisfaction

Atlanta, Ga, January 31.-As the
Investigations of the Ault commit
tee nears completion, it is more and
more apparent that only one criticism
will be offered, and that deals with
the system, mere than with the in
dividual.
That there will be radical change
in the system of appointment and di-
rection of oil and fertilizer inspectors
is assured, but the problem confront
ing the committee is to find a work
ing basis for change which will
really bring about the reforms that
every one admits are desirable.
Just how limitations will be placed
on the number OF inspectors and how
they will be selected and how check
ed is yet problem to be solved. Col
onel Hudson says frankly that the
system should be changed, but he is
not prepared to state just how It
shall be brought about.
One fact has been strongly Impress
ed on the committee in this investi
CATION and that is the absolute frank
ness it has encountered from every
witness called, from Colonel Hudson
on down. No one has attempted to
evade any query or conceal any fact.
1t is easily understood that it is easy
to detect concealment on the part OF
a witness and the committee has re-
peatedly referred toabsence of any
effort at concealment during the in
TeGtigation.
That the financial affairs of the de.
Pc rtment of agriculture are as
straight as a string has been definite
ly established. That Commissioned
Hudson is more a victim of the sys-
tenn than a juggler of the system has
also been demonstrated.
The committee will probably COM
plrtc it's work this week by working
out definite policy of oil and fertil-
;zer inspection before adjournment

TAX Fl FAS GO IN

Rush to Court House and

Today will be The final day of grace
for paying -ast years state and coun-
ty taxes, which are supposed to have

ecutions. This, of course, entails more
cost to the taxpayer, but he has only
himself to blame and should be very
thankful for the leniency already
shown him. Both city and county
taxes are payable in December, at the
latest, but there are always many
who play the limit and pay only at
the eleventh hour.
