SANITARY. MINING TOWNS.

Ox1ANA Ak1xS u NA4AN xANO=T INV ANk0s
The federal bureau Of mines
Of the department Of the interior
has issued as a bulletin a report
made by Dwight E. Woodbridge
Of this city on Sanitation of
Mining Villages in the Bir1ning-
ham District, Alabama" It is a
comprehensive and interesting
little treatise.
It fits conditions in one min
ing region practically as we'll as
those of another. It is, or
should be, especially valuable as
pointing the way in St. Louis
county. The situation in the
south to a considerable degree is
the same as here.
The villages more particularly
described by Mr.. Woodbridge,
are on land owned wholly by the
mining companies. They are on
what are here called ''locations. "
On such property certain mining
companies have built model vii
lagos, not like Coleraine, but far
simpler.
The dwellings are nice looking,
neat and varied in design, but in
expensive. They would, of
eourse, cost less there than
here, but not less than a great
many shacks now occupied on
some mining locations. Each has
an ample garden and sanitary
surroundings.
Our mining companies are
progressive and even quite
generous in their attitude
toward living conditions for
their men. They pay good
wages. They pay the bulk of the
taxes that are used to make city
conditions in small communi-
ties. They have done more than
the public authorities to stop
blind plugging and kindred evils
on the locations.
But housing conditions on
these locations, some of them
under the control of the compa-
MES and some Of them not, can
be very much improved and this
bulletin has good many useful
suggestions. Nothing could be
more true than MIR. Wood
bridges statement that it is not
''fully realized by all employers
that more healthful living con-
ditions mean steadier and more
efficient work by employees" -

INCENDIARIES BURN TWO
BOARDING HOUSES AT MINE

Two boarding houses at the Allen
mine were fired by incendiaries early
Sunday morning and burned to the
ground, entailing loss of between
$4,000 and $4,000. The buildings were
unoccupied, having but recently been
built and completed. Both were well
ablaze when discovered, and no alarm
was rung in on the local department.
Mine officials believe the incendiary or
incendiaries we're prompted by spite.
A careful investigation is in progress.
There is small hope, however, of locat-
ing the arson iend.

Mosquito Prevention in Brief.

Malaria is caused by the ano,
pheles mosquito, which sucks from
the blood of the person having ma
laria the parasite which causes the
disease, and injects the parasite,
somewhat changed, into the body
of the well person. The familiar
symptoms of malaria result and are
due to the presence of the parasite
in the blood.
No other mosquito but the ano-
pheles is responsible for malaria.
"Miasm, and bad water play no
part in spreading diseases. The
mosquito, which is the only host"
of malaria, breeds in stagnant wa
ter, where it's eggs develop in
two weeks at most. Mosquitoes
will not breed until they have
sucked blood, and the female alone
bites.
Drain all low grounds, that stag
nant water may not remain.
Supply large, slow-moving streams
with fish, which will destroy the
mosquito.
Once every two weeks spray with
coal oil. Stagnant standing water
cannot be drained or stock
ed with fish.
Remove all tin cans, bottles, etc.,
from the premises; screen all cess
polls and rain barrels; fill all de-
pressions on the premises.
See that the house gutter does
not sag or hold stagnant water.
Screen your windows and doors
with sixteen-mest wire or with
bobinet.
If these remedies will not keep
mosquitoes from breeding and
from entering your house, take
quinine regularly during the mos
quito season.-Virginia Health
Bulletin.

Mrs. Wilson and as each piece was
started, the engaged partner for
that number was sought out and

Railroads Should Have a Market
Bureau.

I am hoping that the railroads
will also put on a market bureau.
railroads have been plowing, 80 to
speak, for several years and it is
easy to understand their intense in
terest in increasing the tonnage and
the same reasons apply to merchants,
manufacturers and business inter-
ests generally, but bumper crops
without market facilities have sent
more farmers staggering down the
back alleys of agriculture than all
the pests and orouths that ever
cursed this Nation. Certainly a
freight solicitor could offer no great
er inducement to a farmer than a
profitable sale of the products and
indeed the railroad can give no
greater encouragement to the pro-
ducer than top prices for things be
can raise. The railroads will find
that one good salesman in the mar
ket will do more to stimulate pro-
duction than a dozen professors in
the field. The railroads can give
agriculture no more serious blow
than to dump the farmers crop at
destination, which is frequently
done.

PLAYGROUND SITE

Editor Missoulian - Having read
numerous articles in our paper, for
and against the proposed site for Il
Playground. | have failed so far to find
one against the old G~reenough track
or for the south side one that is based
on an argument that is strengthened
by truth. The argument that the
south side is growing so fast seems
ridiculous at this time. We know that
at least One-fifth of the south side
property is in the hands Of real es-
tate sharks, and for sale for much less
han it cost from two to four years
ago, and the number of empty houses
is very noticeable. on the other hand
the west side property owners are resi-
dents who make their living here in
town and own their own homes. II
you will notice the delinquent tax list
you viii see that the greater part is
due on south side property.
! don't see any comparison between
he Two sites. Are the county COM
missioners going into the real estate
business? Why buy any place if the
people are not with you? If you buy
u Playground, buy something suitable
l'I Inc people
We, as horsemen, are in favor of the
GreenOugh track for many reasons. It
already has the reputation of being
the best track in the state, and for
this reason there viii be no trouble
in filling the entries with the best
horses for the meets. Running horses
can not run on a half-mile track, as
they are dangerous. HorSemen can't
take a chance on training a valuable
horse on a new track, for it will ruin
the animal for life. We can't make a
success of the fair without the races
and must also ave the ranchmcn eX-
hibit their stock. AS for car service
we need not fear. Without doubt the
car line will be extended to the Ceme-
terry, and this is only a short walk tc
the Playground site. And, as before
the Northern Pacific will give service
to the grounds during the fair. l an
sure the county commissioners coulC
induce the Northern Pacific to put il
