Not True about Caspian Lake.

The following letter appeared in a
recent issue of the Hyde Park News
and Citizen and will interest our read
ers. who know about beautiful Caspian
lake: u
Wellesley, Mass. Dec 19, 1913.
Editor News and Citizen:
In the last number of your paper is
an article on "a Rubbish Incinerator,"
that. in the main. is excellent What
the writer has to say IN re Caspian
Lake is so far from the truth one won
ders whether the writer had any infor-
nation or cared for the facts. The
writer says Q) "About fifty people
came down with typhoid fever The
number was less than twenty-sixteen
being the generally quoted number.
(2) Upon investigation it was found
that campers had thrown refuse into
the lake, which supplied the town of
Greensboro with drinking water. +"
| There was not a single case of typhoid
fever where people took their water
from the lake. No one with any
knowledge of hygiene could think that
refuse thrown into that great lake of
more than 1900 acres, in places $50 feet
deep, could produce typhoid. Probably
not in body of water of any consider.
able size. perhaps of any size. unless
4 the typhoid germs were in the refuse
which not the case in Greensboro.
I The state board of health, after {
long investigation. which was most
painstaking and scientific, found thai
in every case the unfortunate victim:
there was not fatal case-took tn,
water from small pool that formed
in a meadow below the outlet. Upo1
the banks of this little pool or pont
a typhoid carrier" had been allowed
to camp. From this one man came al
the trouble a-.~ h.
Greensboro cottagers or campers d,
not. and are not allowed to, throw gar
bage into the lake; and to repeat, hat
they Gone so, typhoid could not have
come from it.
Ii there is one place that I love NOR,
than any other it is Caspian lake an,
this is the reason that take the tim
to refute this silly statement in al
otherwise excellent article.

VETERAN SOLDIER PASSES FINAL
 MUSTER
From Tuesdays Dailyl

Miles Mckinney, whose death oc- cured at Crown King last week, was one of the best known residents of that mining field, and enjoyed a name for honesty and industry that made him a host of friends. Dur ing the civil war he was a major in a Georgiaregiment, and served the cause of the confederacy with cour- age and distinction. He had been a resident of the Bradshaws for over twenty years, following mining as business. Incidental to a life of privation his once rugged frame was shattered, and when the end came general debility was the cause. He was aged about 70 years, and na- tive of Georgia. Surviving IS a wife and several children residing at Uvalda, Texas. A good man has passed away, and his death is very much regretted in the above mining community, where he had a legion of friends and not an enemy
