cases. Jason Blake in the extreme
east n OF the town and G. l. John
son on the river front. Neither one
is serious. One case has developed
in the Lytman family. a mile above
town. and the residence is quaran-
tined.
The report from the Short Line
country is that the disease is on the
wane.
A few more cases are most likely
to develop In h town. according to
the opinion OF the health officers, but
the suspects are being closely
watched.
People are resorting to vaccination
as a general thing. which is the SEN
sible thing to do. Many who were
v~accinated ten years ago are expert
menting by again being v~accinated.
This will afford them Information that
they are unable to obtain from any
