HOSPITAL SUNDAY
Proclamation by the Governor Of the

Last year, by proclamation, Sunday,
October "a, was set aside as Hospital

were urged to give consideration on
that day to the need of hospitable pro-
vision for the sick and suffering,
both as a matter of common humanity
and for the prevention of disease
The observance of Hospital Sun
day" and the resulting agitation OF
the subject doubtless led to the enact
ment of the law by the Thirty-third
Legislature authorizing any county to
erect and operate a general hospital
and. dispensaries for the care of the
sick.
Some of the counties of the State
have already taken advantage of the
provisions of this law. and an effort
is being made to secure consideration
of the matter in many other counties
When we consider the great and need

preventable disease, we should not hes

labor and time, to place every county

The civilized world was shocked by
the Titanic disaster. but the people OF
this country pay little heed to the
daily loss of 100 lives from prevent
able disease. Two hundred thousand
American citizens die OF tuberculosis
each year. In our own State statistics
show loss OF thousands of lives that
could be saved by proper precaution

The Bryan High School football
team played the second team of the
Allen Academy yesterday afternoon,
and were defeated by the score OF IL
to 6. The High School scored in the
first few minutes OF play, but the Al
lens frightened up and held the High
School boys safely the rest of the
game.
Osborne played star game for the
High School, and Allen was the star
of the Aliens. Both were good often
sively and defensively, carrying the
ball well and figuring in nearly every
play. The High School boys were not
disheartened by the defeat, and believe
they can win in another such contest.
They will leave tomorrow afternoon
for Navasota. where they will tie up
with the High School team of that city
in their second game, being defeated
by the Navasota boys ~ to in the
first game played on the B. B. A.

STEERS EXPENSES
 ARE TO BE PAID

After remaining in dispute for almost year, the expense account of Commissioner E. J. Stier for the inquest held into the death of E. c. Tawney was finally approved by District Attorney Crossley, and will now be referred to Judge Fuller for disposition, The original expense account put in by the commissioner was for $1,072, but 1t has now been cut to $992, says the Fairbanks Times of October 27.
 The enormouos expense was incurred by the commissioner as the body of the de ceasd was 105 miles from Georgetown and it was necessary to take two witnesses and the jury that distance. There was no road house on the trail to the scene of Tawney's death, and the supplies for the commits sioner, the jury and the witnesses had to be freighted by dog teams.
 Should the court now pass favorably upon the expense account of the official, 1t will be turned over to the marshal for payment In the meantime, however, the persons who have money coming from the government are compelled to wait.

DISCOVERER OF. CHISANA
 TALKS ABOUT CONDITIONS

Seattle, Oct. 20-James, the d,Scovarer of the Chisana arrived in this city today and for the first time gave out for pub Gcation the detail of the discovery on Lit tie Fl Dorado.
 James says that they had been interested in quartz propositions, and were not troubling about placer at the time when they passed over Little Fl Dorano T tr't' utary of Wilson creek, which Is , tributary of Chisana The discovery of a small piece of rock foot square and containing much free gold visible considerable distance from where first seen, made them stop for they felt convinced that they were close to highly mneralized belt They dug down a foot to bedrock, expecting to find the lead of which the rock appeared to have been floating outcrop, when they saw mug gets in the broken rock and banned sev eral dollars in half shoveful of 1irt. They rocked out in short time over slO0, aud thereupon James sent his partner, Nelson to Dawson for supplies, after which the news of the discovery became public pop erty James says that the country is go- ing to be big producer, the knockers to the contrary notwithstanding.
 James and Nelson expect to get bsck tlere in January, but as they have given options for cash on all their claims to Hau shaw, they will do development work on their quartz properties until next summer.
 James acknowledges that they played in great luck throughout, and not day saw them shovel into the boxes less than s300 to the man. They had a hard time getting in supplies but managed to get enough to last them throughout the season when they gave the option to Hamshaw. The lat ter they declare, has done more pros pecting work in the new camp than any one, and has paid out hard cash for options on much ground so that he knows what he is doing. They will return to placer mining when the water runs next summer There will be much work on the benches this winter, and the future of the camp de- bends upon what is found there in great measure.

 The above figures, compiled by Frank Cook, agent for the Wells Fargo Express Company, show the placer gold output Of the Tanana valley and the Ruby district for the year 1913. The Fairbanks district alone has nearly held her own when com pared with last years figures, which repre- sented the shipments of gold to the value pf s3,7OOO0O
 The total output last year was S4,777, ,OOO, the figures this year showing 8 decrease of S1,O22 ,000 This is accounted for by the fact that the past season in the Tanana has been an exceptionally dry one numerous creek operators having been unable to tin ish tip the work which they planned in the spring. on account of the excessive drouth. The Chsana stampede, too, had something to do with the decrease, as there were many who closed down their work here to go to the new camp.
 The above figures are those of the gold bullion shipped by the two local banks and by private individuals through the Wells Fargo Express Company. The figures from Ruby represent the amount of gold which was shipped from this city alone, as that section will undoubtedly show a larger out put.
