Smallpox in several of the north
ern counties of the state, although
looked after carefully by the state
board Of health, which enforced
quarantine, compelled vaccination of
exposed parties, etc., and induced the
Canadian authorities to quarantine
against st. Johns, near the northern
border. The Great Northern railroad
has been restrained from selling tic
kets to points north, and train crews
have been compelled to change at
Polla instead of at St. John. The
disease is well under control and the
boundary quarantine will soon be
raised.
U. S. Navy.
Thirty-four new cases of smallpox
have developed at the Grant Anamo
naval station among sailors exposed
on the u. S. S. Ohio. The station has
been quarantined, and the Atlantic
fleet, which was scheduled to start
south, will not sail until the situation
clears. Nine cases at Grant Anamo
were very severe and there were three
deaths.
At Home.
Here in Virginia the smallpox stu
alton is we'll in hand; an occasional
new case is reported, but the free
vaccination which is being done under
the supervision of City Physician
Grove has given all a chance to avail
themselves of this simple, but ef-
fective preventative measure. About
$500 persons have been vaccinated in
the district and all persons not yet
vaccinated are urged to submit them
selves to the operation. With the ma
jority of the populace vaccinated an
epidemic of any size would be an i'm
possibility. "In times of peace pre-

in the past from the state legislature.
He believes in the development Of
northern Minnesota, more considera-

range and generally has progressive
ideas. Mr.. Griggs knows too that be-
coming candidate for Office means
a lot of work, means that one must

says, he is prepared to do. He is an
excellent public speaker Of fine per-

friends in every town in the district.
If Mayor Murphy becomes can

strength. Mr.. Murphy is perhaps the
greatest vote getter in Virginia. Even
his political enemies admit that he
would have been reelected mayor of
this city last spring without opposi-
ton if he had decided to announce
his candidacy. Mr.. Murphy is also a
fine and a convincing speaker. He is
an excellent business man and that he
would be a capable representative in
either house Of the legislature goes
without saying. There is every pros
pect that there will be some highly
interesting announcements regarding
candidates within the next two weeks.

Mayor M. A. Murphy and O. H.
Griggs, a we'll known young Virginia
business man, are being much dis
cussed about the city this week as
prospective candidates for the state
legislature. Mr.. Griggs makes no
attempt to disguise the fact that he
would like to run for the senate from
the Sixty-frst district and Mayor
Murphy admits that he has been ap-
preached by good many friends who
would like to see him a candidate for
the same place. He has reached no
definite conclusion, however, and will
reach none for some time, according
to an interview yesterday. In fact
he declared that he was doubtful
whether or not he would further con-
slider the matter.
Friends of both declare there is no
reason why both should not declare
themselves as candidates, one for the
lower house and one for the senate.
Others say that such program
would result in the charge from out
side towns that Virginia was trying
to hog all the Offices and might re-
suit in the defeat Of one or both.
Mr.. Griggs decided some time ago
that he would like to go to the SEN
ate. He is one of Virginia's aggres-
sive young business men who is we'll
qualified for such a position. He be-

In reviewing the current medical
literature it is noticed that smallpox
is quite prevalent throughout the
United States at this time. Although
none of the outbreaks are at all
alarming still it is interesting to note
that the advent Of one case in a we'll
settled community causes the most
rigid quarantine regulations to be
enacted and compulsory vaccination
Of school children is the common
thing.
The following reports are copied
from various medical journals:
Indiana.
During January there were SO cases
of smallpox in Indianapolis and dur
ing February there was such increase
in the prevalence Of the disease that
an order compelling vaccination of
all school children, under penalty of
exclusion from the schools, was issu-
ed by the health department. It is
said that the smallpox situation is
costing the city $500 a day.
Kansas.
The Kansas city state school for
the blind has been closed and quaran-
tined by the state health officials on
account Of the presence of a single
case Of smallpox developing in the
school.
Kentucky.
Senator Porter, a member of the
state legislature, developed smallpox
on February 4. A conference Of leg
islators. was held with the state board
of health for adoption of vaccination
measures to prevent spread of the
disease.
Maryland.
In Baltimore it was necessary to
establish an additional quarantine
hospital because of the prevalence of
smallpox in the county. To date rs
we'll developed cases have been re-
ported. Forty cases are beng treated

around this village. The carcasses of
two deer killed by foreigners hunting
in the woods to the north of here were
brought to Bull last week. Local
sportsmen are much aroused and de-
plore the fact that this section is at

low Line of the Old Duluth & Nor
theastern Minnesota Railway Com
pany Connecting With the Vermi-
lion Road.

St. Louis county is provided with a
second main trunk thoroughfare to the
iron ranges through the gift to the
county by the Weyerhaeuser interests
Of fourteen miles Of an abandoned
logging right-of-way formerly operat-
ed by the Duluth & Northeastern
Minnesota Railway company.
Announcement to this effect follows
a conference which John Fischer,
county commissioner from the Sec
ond district, held Saturday with Of
ficials of the Northern Lumber COM
pany, Weyerhaeuser corporation.
The company agreed to relinquish all
claims to the old logging road pro-
vided it would be converted into a
main trunk highway between Duluth
and the range towns.
The second main trunk highway be-
tween Duluth and the range cities will
parallel the Miller Trunk road about
twenty miles to the east. The new
portion begins at the northern termi-
nus Of the Rice Lake road at the Clo-
quet river bridge and runs in an east
erly and northerly direction for a
short distance along the north bank
of lower Island lake to the abandoned
railroad grade.
The right-of-way is slightly more
than fourteen miles in length. It does
not follow section lines but runs
across township 52-14, 1914 and 81
ID. At the north line of township
54-14 it connects with the southern
terminus of the Vermilion road.
Tracks Torn Up.
The railroad company, which was
also owned by the Weyerhaueser in
terests, took up it's tracks on this
cight-of-way about nine years ago.
Since that time it has been used by
some for team highway, but no
money has ever been spent, either by
the county or any township for i'm
proving it. About two years ago
when negotiations opened between
the county officials and the railroad
company for the use of the old right
of-way for a public thoroughfare,
resolution was passed legally estab-
fishing it as a county highway. The
action was simply to make it possible
FOR money to be appropriated and
spent for it's improvement.
The acquiring of the old right-of-
way for county road purposes will
furnish a long needed connecting link
between the north end Of the Rice
AXE road and the southern terminus
of the Vermilion road and will give
Duluth more direct route to BIZ
vabik and Mckinley than by the Mil
er Trunk Road. The route will be
slightly longer to Virginia and Hih-
bling.
According to County Commissioner
fischer, only about three weeks time
will be needed in the spring to put the
connecting link furnished by the old
logging road, in shape. Nearly all of
It is in good condition. Only a stretch,
about three-fourths Of mile in length
will have to be rebuilt.
The announcement Of a second high
way between Duluth and the ranges
will be welcomed, it is understood, by
the good roads enthusiasts in both
localities.

BAD WEED IN THE PASTURES
eurdock 10 Typical Back Yard Plant,
But ls Found In Fence Corners
and All Waste Places.

Burdock Is a biennial plant with a
large, deep tap root. The leaves,
which are large, are generally fuzzy
beneath, and the leaf stock is hollow.
The first year the plant merely deyel-
ops leaf and root system. The Sec
ond year the branched towering stalk
is sent up, sometimes six feet high.
At the ends Of the branches purple
tipped flower burs are formed. The
burdock Is especially bad in sheep and
horse pastures, as the burs get into
the wool of the sheep and names and
tails of the horses. Burdock flowers
in July and August and seeds in Sep

TIME OF LITTLE MOMENT
Disregard Of Promptness In China Is

tlonal Fault.

IF you make an appointment with
an American you will find him in his
office at the appointed time." writes
DIR. WI Tingfang in America Through
the Spectacles Of an Oriental Diplo-
mat" Everything to be done by him
during the course OF the day has its
fixed hour, and hence he is able to do
greater amount OF work than many
others. Chinese, unfortunately, have
no adequate ideas OF the value OF
time. This is due, perhaps, to our
mode OF reckoning. In the West q
day is divided into "a hours, and each
hour into GO minutes. but In China II
has been the custom for centuries to
divide day and night into l2 (shih)
periods each period consisting OF two
hours, so that an appointment is not
made for a particular minute, as In
America. but for one or other OF these
two-hour periods. This has created
ingrained habits OF unpunctuality
which the advent OF clocks and
watches and contact with foreigners is
slow to remove.

STORE MANURE FOR GARDENS
Best Practise ls to Place Fertilizer In
Obscure Corner-Spade and
Turn Frequently.

A common practise Is to manure the
garden every year, late in the fall, or
before planting in the spring, no fur
ther attention being given. This prac-
tise, however, is not the best.
The manure for the garden should
be kept In a large box with lid, or so
screened that flies cannot enter It.
Manure heaps are the natural breeding
places of these pests and II they are
allowed to remain near the house, un-
covered, will prove a great nuisance.
A good plan is to use a very close
wire screen nailed to q frame with
hinges for the top, The manure should
be spaded often on the top so that the
water from the clouds or the sprin-
king pot may penetrate to all portions
of it.
If kept in box a spout should be
placed in one corner, at the bottom, 30
that the water may drain into sunken
barrel. '.H..
This will supply liquid manure
which can be used at all seasons when
vegetables and flowers are growing.
The manure in the box should be
worked over once or twice a month
working the bottom to the top SO thai
the entire heap may rot.
Manure may be kept in this manner
If the boxes are placed at the farthes
point in the garden from the house
and II surrounded with vines theil
presence will never be noticed from
the dwelling.
