TRYING TO PRE-
SERVE HEALTH OF
ALASKAN ESQU|MEAUx

The United States Public Health Ser
vice, which has maintained sanitary
service in Alaska for the past three
years, finds that the mortality from COM
municabie diseases in Alaska is gradual
~ falling off. In the majority Of the set
Elements the teacher Is the only doctor
but medical officers Of the Public Health
Service make frequent visits to the vari-
Gus communities and teach both to the
natives and the whites the methods by
which tuberculosis, eye diseases, and
other common ailments are spread. and
the way in which they may be prevent
ed. This warfare against disease has
resulted in the abolition of the deadly
roller towel and the common drinking
cup by the natives in general. and this
hygenic reform has spread even as far
as Point Barrow, the most norsherly
point in North America.
To those interested in public health
activities, it is of great interest to note
the progress made in promoting hygiene
and sanitation during recent years
throughout the civilized world. In this
respect our wards in Alaska, the Indians
and Eskimos, have not been neglected.
The T. S. Bureau OF Education, which
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1915-05-29

has supervision Of the native schools
OF ALASKA, is cognizant of the urgent
need OF sanitation in the native homes
and villages in order TO check and Grad.
icate the communicable disease, the eff
fects Of which nave decreased the nativ
population II per cent during the period
1870 to 1910. according to the U. 5.
Bureau Of Census.
a part Of the appropriation for edu-
cation of the natives Of Alaska is being
expended for the maintenance Of three
improvised hospitals. All schools are
provided, with simple remedies and a
medical handbook Of instructions. Lee
lures ot tuberculosis. eye diseases. VEN
tilation, care OF infants, preparation Of
food. and other subjects pertaining 10
disease preventive measures are deliver
ed. These talks are supplemented by in
dividual instructions in the home. Pam
phlets on the cause. prevention. and cure
Of tuberculosis have been issued 10 pupils
throughout the school service, and How
to Keep Well cards placed in the
homes. Various bulletins issued by the
L. S. Public Health Service on health
subjects have been distributed TO the
field workers for their information and
guidance. Paper towels and individual
drinking cups are being used in the
schools in place OF the common articles
and their value explained 20 the chill
dren
This campaign Of warfare against dis
ease is showing results. The natives are
being educated to hygenic living, care
being taken not to inculcate the Gus
toms of the white man unless they will
bring about a betterment Of health and
economic conditions. This has resulted
in a general improvement Of the health
OF the natives Of Alaska and already
the morbidity and mortality rates from
the various diseases have begun to fall.
The natives have co-operated heartily
in this work. It is interesting to think
what results would follow similar CO.
operation on the part Of the whites in
the United States.

New Evidence Saves Prison Sentence.
There was a remarkable scene in
the superior court at Portland before
Judge Connolly Thursday when
County Atty. J. n. Berman entered 4
mol pros in the case of Henry P. Muir
ply for assault with intent to rob,
leaving the charge simple assault. He
was tried and convicted and would
have been sentenced to State prison
had the attention Of the county attor-
ney not been called to new evidence
His examination Of new witnesses led
him to believe that while Murphy did
assault q soldier he did not rob him
or make an attempt to do SO, and Mr.
Berman decided that he ought not t.
be imprisoned. He had previously
been convicted Of breaking and enter
ing bakery. but Judge Connolly said
he believed that If helped to leave thl
city Murphy would make q fresh
start and his case was placed on the

LITTLE TALES TOLD
BY THE POSTMARkS
ON ARMY LETTERS

It is interesting to note the time
taken by letters from people in the
war-afiicted countries Of Europe TO
reach their destination. The envelope
on that telling of the experiences Of
Corporal Goodrich Of Hallowell in the
famous battle of Ypres, was mailed
at an Army Post Office stamped
i May Is" carried no postage, but
had four cents worth Of American
Due stamps" attached after its ar
rival in the United States, being
stamped New York. May Is Due T."
The receiving stamp at Hallowell is

Reed Hallowell May L.

Tetreault Of this city, who is with an
American hospital near Paris. was

same Gay. May l, and was received
by his father. Arthur Tetreault, the
druggist, on corresponding same
date as the Goodrich letter, May II.
II may have and probably did cross
the Atlantic on the same steamer.
These postmarks may have some
thing to do with dispelling a little Of
the peculiar thoughts Of some who
have seemed in their minds to have
doubted the authenticity Of the Jour
nails letters. Such thoughts, how
ever are shared by q very few and
anyone who has seen the letters and
especially some Of those as yet un
published, can but laugh at such
statements as Never sent from the
war zone" Never written by Good
rich Faxed near home" and others
equally as childish.
If one Of them possessed the souve-
mir of the battle Of Ypres just re-
ceived by a friend Of Corporal Good

That Portland has ever been inter
ested in Augusta matters is evidenced
by the following item clipped from the
Fifty Years Ago" column Of the
Portland Express:
The site Of the old kennebec House
at Augusta Is to be occupied by an
elegant block OF brick stores with
Offices On the second floor and a large
hall on the third floor. The building
will have a frontage % 100 feet and
q depth Of 20 feet.
When the paragraph was read by
one Journal man TO another, the Ques-
ton was promptly asked: Where
was the kennebec House located
and the other didn't know. Neither
was anyone else around the Office
able to answer the question, so the
hunt began in North's History OF
Augusta That is some s:zeable book,
you know, and before the old hotels
birth had been located d friend told
US that the old Kennebec House was
situated on the site Of the present
Opera House.
Further search Of North's History
disclosed the fact that the old Ken
nebec House was originally built II
l7s4, by Amos Pollard, in what IS
now Market square, for a dwelling
house Il was one OF the FIVE build
.ngs that had been erected up TO that
time between VIM. Brooks store, on
the south side OF Billiards. or Bond s
brook, and Nathan Westons store,
near his house at the foot Of Court
street. The other buildings were:
Jos. Farley's house, about 70 rods
south Of Bond brook, Elias Craig 5
house, corner Of Bridge and Water
streets, Col. Eorth's house on the sita
Of the Granite bank and the meeting
house at Market square. Before the
meeting house was finished Rev. Mr..
Merrill preached at Pollard's.
Pollard soon began a hotel or inn
business and frequent mention Of Pol
lards Inn is found. He was given a
deed Of the land in 17.5 by the town,
the same year that Winthrop and
Water streets were laid out. IN 1892
Pollard was assessed So pounds on his
house, barn. home lot, IA acre, and
another Ia acre lot.
1t then appears that in 119. Pol
lard sold the house 10 Peter 7. Vose
who moved il from the Square 10 the
