VANISHED YELLOW
FEVER MOSQUITO

At the meeting of the Civic Santa
ton Committee which was held yes
terday afternoon, a report from DR..
Mccoy, director of the anti-mosquito
campaign, was read. The director de.
clares in his report that the yellow
fever mosquito has been practically
eliminated, and that danger from the
source is nil.
The opinion of DR.. Mccoy is based
on the careful surveys of the city, and
the reports that are turned in daily
by the inspectors. The presence of
the yellow fever mosquito is not no.
ticeable now, and there being so few
of them that they are hardly worth
mentioning.
The statement given out by DR.. Nc
Coy yesterday was only a preliminary
one and, some time this week, the full
report will be turned in. The COM
mittee will then dissolve, after turning
in reports to the Merchants Associa'
ton and the Chamber of Commerce.
With regard to money for the mos
quito campaign, it was pointed out
that the appropriations of the Board
of Health were all used, and that more
money is needed. If a special session
of the legislature is called, no money
from the shippers wharf association
would be needed, and, as the need OF
special session can not be decided
on for some time to come, immediate
action in regard to funds is not neces
sary.
The final figures showing the ex
penditure of the mosquito campaign
will be reported during this week.

HERE'S A SWELL
FIRE DEPARTMENT

HILLSBORO, Cal, March 29.-The
$1OO,OOO,OOO volunteer fire department
of the town de luxe win have no fire
bell. Samuel Knight, chairman of the
fire committee, has so ruled. And
attendance at the fires in the million
aire city may be by invitation only.
The problem of summoning the mil
lionaire firemen to fight the flames is
becoming a grave consideration. The
peGls of the loudest fire bell could not
resound over the vast estates which
are spread out miles in every direc-
ton, and then it would not be at all
in keeping with the peaceful country
side ideals on which Hillsboro was
founded. A private alarm which
would ring in every mansion might be
installed, but the cost of this could
not be spared out of the $4,000 bond
issue, which must also buy a chemical
engine and all the millionaire firemen
brand new red jackets and big black
helmets.
But the problem has been ingenious
ly solved. When a conhagration
breaks out, ,well-liveried footman will
90 from door to door with a beauti-
fully engraved invitation 1t will read
somewhat like this;
MIR. Samuel Knight and the mem
bers of his committee request your
presence at fire which is now in
progress at the home of Mr., Henry 7
Scott in North Hillsboro, r. S. V. p"
Now comes another trouble Eaci
wealthy fireman must be measured in

latlon size would never do, What
faux pas it would be to put men o
