Scare at
Lakeside

Fearing an epidemic Of ty-
phOid at the Lakeside Coun-
try club, a large summer coll
Ony on American lake, the
Tacoma health department
today made preparations for
an extensive test of water,
both at the club and In the
lake.
The tests followed the illness
this week of Donald T. Mcdonald,
president of the club, who IL
seriously i'll with the disease. Nc
Donald has been brought to Ia
coma, and efforts will be made at
once to prevent any outbreak of
an epidemic.
Quarantine Officer Joe German
today took samples of the water
in the Lakeside Country clubs
private water system, and from
the lake in front of the club.
These samples will be subjected
to archaeological test by Kath-
leen Anderson, city chemist.
1t Is believed that McDOn-
aid contracted the disease by
swimming I'm American lake.
Numbers of private sewers
from the American lake resi-
dence colonies empty into the
lake on the north shore, and
contamination of the water,
SO as to make Ii dangerous
for bathing, is believed to be
the result.

With every colliery In South

walkout of miners, and the
ships of the navy I'm need OF
coal, Walter Runciman, rep
resenting the government,
warned the 100000 striking
workers today that they were

This half-concealed threat came
after long conference between
Runciman. operators and workers
had failed utterly In its purpose
of bringing about peace between
owners and miners.
In the course of his appeal to
the conference. Runciman laid
pronounced emphasis on the patri-
otic duty of the miners.
Want Share i'm Profits.
He was met by the answer from
the miners that they could not
see the patriotism in working,
without extra wages, while the
coal operators were being given
fancy prices for their coal.
Runciman then reminded the
gathering that the defense OF the
realm" act had been applied to
coal-mining az we'll as to the man
ufacture of ammunitions. and that
refusal on the part of either oper-
ators OF miners to work steadily
for the welfare of the armed
forces of the nation would lead to
serious action by the government.

MEANS
MONEY
BY A. J. Eldred

A statement that Washing
tons wheat crop this year no
doubt will be mt least 4O,-
100000 bushels-S, 100000
more than the government
estimate and 1000, 900 more
than last years record-break-
er-was made today by ID. j.
Sweeney, deputy state grain
inspector.
This means that more than
$40,000,0O0 will flow into the
state, and that remarkable basis
of prosperity will be laid for the
numerous flour-milling concerns
of Tacoma and Seattle.
Harvesting Begun.
Especially does 1t mean pros
perity of unusual extent because
of repeated reports from the Mis-
sissippi valley states that lorna
does and storms have flattened
and battered vast fields OF grain.
Washington is the only great
wheat state which goes to harvest
without having been threatened
With any disastrous weather.
Harvesting began this week in
Walla Walla, Grant, Franklin,
Adams and part of Whitman
county.
BY next week almost all of
Eastern Washington will be vast
harvest field.
Average Remarkable.
One of it's counties-Whitman
will easily hold it's own as the
third wheat county in the United
States with 100000 bushels
far more than many large states.
And at that, Whitman's yield will
be 100000 bushels shy Of last
years mark.

GERS of the United States Navy will
be detailed on board the ten subma-
rines recently constructed at the yards
of the Fore River Shipbuilding Corpo-
ration for the British government after
the boats leave the shipyard. In a
formal statement issued today j. w.
Powell. president of the corporation,
said:
In view of the interest shown in
the movement of certain submarines
building at this yard we have consid-
cred it advisable to request the Navy
Department to detail officers of the
United States Navy to accompany these
boats whenever they are moved from
this shipyard. either when they are
drydocked or when they proceed to
Provincetown for their trials.
THE department has consented to de-
tail these officers so that all question
as to the possibility of the removal
of the boats from this country to
the possession of a belligerent during
the present war is eliminated. 1t has
further been arranged that when the
boats are completed they will be sent
to the Boston navy yard, where they
will remain until such time as a dis
position satisfactory to all parties can
be arranged"
