xscord. Of about. $40 deaths per thous-
Ahd population during 1911, made
= better showing than Seattle. with q
record ofsSs45a per thousand. During
1910 the death rate in Seattle was
1887 per thousand inhabitants. and
the United States government, in AN
annual REPORT OH vital statistics. crcd-
tied that city with being the health
fest in the United States. The Seattle
record for 1911 was even better and
that record is beaten by Yakima
county, according to figures compiled
BY DR.. Tetreau, whose records. esti-
mating one or two places which are
given generous number. show the
total number Of deaths for the year
in the county was close to 373.
A statement from Los Angeles, Cal
ifornia, reads: "a local record in
low death rate and average longevity
was estimated by Los Angeles during
the past year, according to statistics
compiled by City Health Commission
er l.. M. Powers, who estimated the
local mortuary rate was fourteen out
of one thousand and the average life
was 71.0S years" This is looked upon
as a low rate, but does not make the
showing that Yakima county and Sc
attic and other places in the North
west can make any year.
Lower Yakima Rate
For some years past, according to
the records of the city health Office,
the greatest number Of deaths In
North Yakima occurred during the
latter part Of the year. For the last
six months of 1911 there were 90
deaths, Of which number thirty-one
were of persons who came to the city
for treatment and had died. Without
these non-residents the record Of the
city would be even better than 80
deaths per thousand population. Com
pared with the last six months OF
1910, when there were 1870 deaths re-
ported. the past year has made a
great Improvement.
Typhoid Record
1AhiHs the recoruS LOT tHe pass
four years, the number of deaths from
typhoid fever during the last six
months of each year is given, showing
a. remarkable improvement for the
past year. For the last six months
of 1908 there were 26 deaths from
typhoid fever. in 1909 there were 19
deaths, In 1910 there were 27 and
during the last half of 1911 only two
deaths. This reflects credit on both
the city and county authorities, who
made the necessary appropriations
and the officials who did the work OF
making North Yakima and Yakima
