ANOTHER CLEAN RECORD

The report of the department of
sanitation Of the Isthmian Canal
Commission for September 1918,
shows that during that month not
a single white man, woman or child
from the United States had died
from disease in the Canal Zone.
The report for February, 1914,
shows that another record has been
established. During that month
there 1892 white employees.
Among this number, equal to the
population of q good-sized city,
there was not a single death from
disease during the month. Two
white employees were killed by &C.
cident, n by electric shock and
the other by injury received on
the railroad. but no white en-
ployees, either American or for
elgn, died from disease during that
time. AS might be expected, the
death rate among other classes was
equally low. Of the $500 white
employees from the United States,
there was not a single death by vio-
lence. Of the 3,875 white women
and children from the United
States. there was one death from
accidental drowning and three
from disease. One a child of a
years. died of diarrhea; another,
a woman of 70, died of old age.
and a third, a woman Of Al, died
of pulmonary tuberculosis. Out of
a total Of 9,184 white American
employees and their families, there
we're only three deaths from d.
sease and two from violence, while
among the total 1O.963 Americans
on the Canal Zone, there was only
a single additional death from vio-
lence making a total Of six deaths
for the month, among nearly eleven
thousand persons. equal to an an
nual death rate of 6.56 per thou
sand.
Nor are the benefits of improved
sanitary conditions limited to white.
employees and their families. In
Februsry, 1914, there we're d 1867
colored employees and among thin
number there were nnly % deaths
from disease and six deaths from
violence, making an average death
rate per thousand from disease of
6.31 equivalent to a total annual
average death rate, for the entire
9,459 employees, of 5.34 per thou
and. Of the % deaths, four were
from pneumonia, seven from tu-
berculosis and one each from or
ganic disease of the heart and ty-
pboid fever, leaving niue deaths
from other disease.
After living for five CT six years
amid conditions which have pro-
duced such q startling reduction il.
the death rate, will the men who
have dug the Panama Canal be able
to find any city in the United
States which is sufficiently clearly
and healthy for them to live in?
Let US hone says the Journal of the
American Medical Association, that
the ten thousand Americans return
ing to this country after a practi-
cal demonstration Of what modern
scientific knowledge Can do to pre-
vent disease, may prove to be the
little leaven which will leayen the
entire lump. If this is the case
the indirect heufts Of the Panama
Canal will be incomparahly great
er than its commercial or military
value.

recently published that mine and mill

The rumor was persistently circulat

rested on the fact that the mill was

Late reports from Aurora state that

kind used by the Chinese fishermen
on the coast. Mr.. Robert brought it
to this city and will have it cleaned
and unless the owner sees fit to call
and claim it will send it to the coast
and offer it for sale. 1t is believed by
those who claim to know that the
original cost was in the neighbor-
hood of $500.
For the past couple of years it has
been rumored that market fishermen
were seining for catfish at the lake,
which is contrary to law. 1t is
known fact that at times when the
fish are not biting the Reno markets
always have good supply, but this
is the first real evidence of the traf-
ic that has been obtained
1t is presumed that the fishermen
operating the seine were surprised
by game warden or others and left
their tackle in order to escape cap
ture. The high winds of few days
ago probably washed the outfit IN
the sand beach to be found later by
the Carsonites.
