AMALGAMATED PUMP
LOWERED INTO PLACE

Within the next few days the
A~malgamated Phoebe Mines & Smell
ter corporation will have three
shifts at work in sinking at No. 1
shaft. During the week the two
pumps which arrived recently we're
lowered into the mine and have been
set on the cement foundations pre-
viously provided for them on the
COO and 1900 levels, respectively. In
addition to this, the water tanks for
each plant were installed, the steam
and air pipes connected up, while the
new hoist is also in operation.
An innovation, insofar as mining
in Phoebe is concerned is to be intro
duced by the Amalgamated company
by the installation of a new electric
blasting mechanism, a feature of
which is to delay action in shooting.
That is to say, when any blasting is
done in the mine work, the explosion
of the various rounds does not occur
simultaneously, but the charges are
set off in rotation by which means
greater effectiveness in accomplish
ed. In sinking the shaft an 1S-hole
round is fired.
The new feed water heating apper-
atus has been tried out and Superin-
tendent Van Wagenen reports that it
is meeting with every expectation.
During the week the Amalgamated
company received a car load of dyna-
mite, direct from the Dupont works,
l a of lumber and 5 car of coal.
Outside of a few service pipes,
with which the water department Of
the company has nothing to do, the
recent sold snap has not interferred
with the Phoebe water supply. A
splendid flow is coming into the tank
and both the supply and reseryv
tanks are kept constantly filled. The
company, in order to avert a recur-
renee o fthe trouble of last winter,
ha %sinstalled taps at the end of each
main which are kept open in the
coolest weather. Mr.. Van Wagenen
states that it is permissible for pa
irons of the system to let the water
run in their house taps during the
cold nights, but admonishes them to
exercise this privilege with due mod
Grafton, so as to prevent the lower
ing the reserve tanks. AS long as
moderation is used in thi smanner to
prevent the freezing pipes there will
be no complaint, he says, on the part
of the water department. 1t is to the
interests of all citizens to put no
handicap in the way in the event of
fire; as all are concerned in the pro-
lection of property.
For several weeks past the Anal
gamated company has had a force
engaged in doing the representation
work on the Greenwood mine. The
shaft has been retimbered and put in
splendid shape for operation. This
work was completed last Wednesday.
Workmen on the Brown-Hosmer-
Parker lease at the old Phoebe Con.
smelter dump have encountered some
brick impregnated with bullion, from
which they expect to realize consid-
cradle profit.-Pioche Record.

said that social centers had trans

transformed it in purpose, in
morals, in the contentments and
happiness of its people. If so.
cial centers have done this for
Rochester, properly conducted,
they can do much more for the

udices, and cooperate heartily
with the health board in all san
itary measures, we would have a
report to make at the end of
this year, of which even they
would be proud. For the last
ten years | have been visiting
the public schools of the county,
talking to them of sanitation and
right living, but | am sorry to re-
port the great falling off in the
number in attendance during the
past year. In the reports made
by me during the last several
years until last year ! called loud
ly for a compulsory school law.
In 1912 we had a compulsory law,
under which there were in at
tendance 1000 more than had
been attending in any one year
before. The schools were lively,
the children happy, showing
they did not have to be made to
attend. The teachers enjoyed
the increased size of the schools.
But some parents disregarded
the law, failed to send their
children, and the result was, the
schools in 1913 fell off a 1000
from the number in 1912. No
body was prosecuted, and nobody
seemed to fear to keep their
ceiIdren at home. The attend
ance in 1912 showed conclusively
that the compulsory could have
been enforced. But it also show
ed that without an effort to en-
force this law. If any of them
did make the effort, then the SUI
perintendent was at fault in not
carrying it on. The attendance
was bad enough in 1912, only G6
per cent, being present that
year, but when it dropped back
to A per cent, it seems to me
that something ought to be done.
Our beople should speak right
out in meetin" and cause some
change to be made. Ishall clam
or no more for a compulsory law,
until this is thoroughly tried out.
| shall expect great things Of Mr..
Huffaker or Mr.. Strange which
ever one the superintendent
mantle shall fall on when the
next school term shall begin.

Health Officers Annual Report.

Court:-Gentlement | have been
in the habit of making an annual
report to your honorable body, of
my work as Health officer of the
county. and now that the court
has been changed, l still feel it
10Y duty to report to you as the
successors of the late lamented.
You know that l am one of the
county officers, clothed with same
power as the others, all paid by
a salary fixed by the Fiscal Court,
and entitled to the protection of
the law. You will readily ad-
nit that my business is more i'm
portant than the others. That
while they deal with the liberty
and property of the citizens, |
deal with the lives and the health
of all the people of the county.
While they are annually housed
in rooms furnished by the coun-
ty, no such good things are fur
nished to me. When epidemic
diseases spring up in the COM
munity, all the other officers are
permitted to stay in their rooms
or take to the woods, while the
health officer is forced to 60 out
and meet them in all kinds of
weather, and to the uttermost
parts of the county. While all
the other salaried officers of the
county have some other business
TO follow to assist in making a
living, except the Superintend-
ent Of Schools. | have none.
While all the other officers of the
county can stay in their offices,
and have no calls to go to the
country, are not required to keep
a horse or buggy. | have to keep
these things in the face of the
increase iii the price of every
thing that a horse has to eat.
And while your esteemed preGe-
cesSors right in the midst of
the drouth reduced my
salary, | heard not a word about
reducing the salary of any body
else. In my suit in the circuit
court nearly all the members of
the Fiscal Court swore that there
was no need for a health officer.
One of them gave as a reason
that the health of the county was
so so good that we did moi need |
the services of a health officer. |
One o f them swore that lie |
thought it very important to
have a health officer, but he
thought that the one dollar and
ten cents per day was enough to
pay him for his services. while
he voted himself three dollars /
day for what time he attended |
the sittiDgs of the Fiscal Court. |
There has been a great deal of |
prejudice throughout the whole |
country against the Boards of |
Health. Not only in our county,
but in all the adjoining. l am
paid more than any other health
officer in this part of Kentucky,

ty Judge in the late primary
made the canvass and speeches
on the County Health Officer.
Some of them proposed, in case
of election, to abolish the Of
flee altogether. One of them,
not satisfied with doing so little
for the dear people, the great
common people, proposed to
change the tariff, and put the
duty back on wool. Now of
course these men, all of them,
know better than this, but they
wanted to ride into office on the
prejudice that many people have
against all health boards. Now
let me, for short while, turn
NY attention and the attention Of
the Fiscal Court to some of the
things that have been done. |
have been for more than ten years
fighting consumption, the great
white plague. l have fought it
more persistently than any other
disease, because it has destroyed
more of our people. 1t has de-
stroyed in the United States alone
more than war, pestilence, and
famine. The people, even the
doctors, many of them, thought
until recently that the disease
was hereditary, descended from
parents to children, and that
nothing could be done to prevent
it. l began my fight against it
in the year 1900, but before this
/ became thoroughly convinced
that the doctrine of heredity was
false. In the year 1900 there
were in this county go deaths
from this scourge. l fought in
the dark. No light to illumine
my pathway. I had no means
of knowing whether l was get
ging the better in the fight, or
the worse. But | still kept up
the battle. About 1910 the vital
statistics law was enacted, and
the people made a great howl
about that. But it brought light
to me. Under that law the doc
tors were made to report their
cases to the registrars in every
voting precinct. had then for
the first time been able to see
how many consumptives had died.
And when the registrars made
their first reports in 1911 | was
pleased to see that the deaths
from consumption had been re-
duced in that year to AZ, a fall
ing off in the annual rate of 49,
For this | thanked God and took
courage. | began then fighting
more persistently than ever. In
1912 the report showed that
there had been a further decline
of five deaths, being reduced
to 81. And in 1913 to 25, good
deal more than one-half since
the year 1909. This all in the
face of the fact that the popula-
ton of the county had been rap
idly increasing. All this time l

occupied until it has been thor
oughly fumigated, and yet the
ones whose business it is to no
tify me, frequently fail to do it,
and the first notice of many of
the deaths is from the newspa-
per correspondents in the neigh
borhood, and frequently do not
hear of it at all. In the Gradyville
precinct the resistrar's report
shows six deaths from consump-
ton, only two of which had been
notified to me. These things
ought not so to be. | hold my
self in readiness to go any where
in the county, at any time, pre-
vided only | can get the informa-
ton. But Notwithstanding these
drawbacks, the death rate from
this dreadful disease is rapidly
declining. Now let me take
retrospect of what l have been
saying. If what | have said is
true, and the registrars affirm it,
there are at least 200 people alive
/ to-day who would be dead but
i for the work of the board of
health. Who these people are,
we have no means of knowing.
They may, some of theE: belong
to your families, they may be-
long to lniIe. And then from all
the other diseases there are at
least 500 or 600 people living who
would be dead but for the watch
fuIness of this same board. But
| have difficulties to surmount.
My old frie nd Matthew Taylor, a
lifelong friend, living at Glen
Vile, wrote piece for The News
some time ago, in which he took
strong ground against fumigat-
ing. He said it was no good.
Solomon, in the proverbs said
that a word fifty spoken. was
like apples of gold, in pitchers of
silver. 1t was a beautiful simile,
and a very true one. But words
that were not fifty spoken are
very different. Matthew in his
Chenille piece. had some words
that were not fifty spoken. He
has for long while been consid-
cred quite an oracle in Glennville.
The piece was intended as a joke,
but some did not so consider it.
Since it was written two young
women living in sight and al
most in a stones throw, have
died of consumption, and in each
case the family refused to have
their house fumigated. But it
was done Notwithstanding the
opposition, and no trouble grew
out of it. The result has been
greater among young children,
