union STOCK YARDS
At CHICAGO CLOSED
BY FEDERAL AGENTS
10y LEASED WIRE.1

CHICAGO, Jan. 26-The Union
Stock Yards here were placed under
federal quarantine today. Shipments
Of live stock from Chicago to any part
Of the United States were prohibited
by the order. Discovery of several
cases of the foot and mouth disease
in a shipment of hogs from the Union
Stock Yards to Philadelphia led to the
embargo.
The quarantine does not prohibit
shipments of dressed meats. Live
stock men at the yards professed to
believe that there was no foot and
mouth disease at the yards, and that
the hogs found suffering from the
plague in Philadelphia had contracted
the disease in shipment.
Buyers in Chicago had orders for
$4,000 hogs to be shipped east when
the quarantine was established.
The federal quarantine here follow
ed on the heels of an order issued by
Governor Dunno in Springfield in
which he placed fifteen counties Of
Illinois in absolute quarantine against
the foot and mouth disease.

To Cure Catarrhal
Deafness and
Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness and lead noises will be glad
to know that this distressing afflictiOn
can usually be successfully treated at
home by an internal medicine that in
many instances has effected a COM
plete cure after other treatments have
failed. Sufferers who could scarcely
hear a watch tick tell how they have
had their hearing restored to such an
extent that the tick of watch was
plainly audible seven or eight inches
away from either ear.
Therefore, if you know of someone
who is troubled with head noises or
catarrhal deafness, cut out this for
mula and hand it to them and you
will have been the means of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. The prescription can be pre-
pared at home and is made as fol-
lows:
Secure from your druggist 1 OF. Par
mint Double Strength), about 75c
worth. Take this home, and add to it
Il pint Of hot water and OF. of granu-
lated sugar: stir until dissolved. Take
one tablespoonful four times a day.
Parmint is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the inflam-
nation and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air
pressure on the drum, but to correct
any excess of secretions in the middle
ear, and the results it gives are nearly
always quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in
any form should give this recipe a
trial and free themselves from this
destructive disease.-adv.

BAVIS DISACREES
WITH KENNEP0HL
ON BOND ISSUES

Former board president, B. A. Ken
nepohl keeps we'll informed on public
questions and he is more often right
than wrong, but in opposing the pro-
posed bond issue for public improve
ments because he favors the making
Of such improvements by general tax
atiCn he is certainly wrong, in my
opinion" President BaViS Of the board
said today.
Mr.. kennepohl urged that activities
for the securing of needed public i'm
provements be confined at this time
TO getting bill through the legisla-
ture whereby special improvement
funds could be created by municipal
tiles and the entire cost of improve
ments be met out Of the same except
in the case Of streets. He would have
abutting properties assessed what the
cost would have been for putting down
a graveled street, the rest of the ex-
pense being met out Of the special i'm
provement fund, raised by general tax
alton.
THE plan Of paying for all improve
ments by general taxation is all
wrong" Mr.. Bavis said today. Does
Mr.. Kennepohl realize that if such a
system was to become effective now
we would have to increase our tax
rate eighty cents if We attempted to
make as many permanent improve
ments as have been provided in the
past five years?
He justifies issuing. bonds for the
municipal plant, and 1 do myself, be-
cause the plant was to be dividend
producing investment for the city. He
says there will be no cash returns
from improvements contemplated with
the proposed new bond issue. How
does he reason that good streets and
good sewers are not profitable invest
ments? Don't they enhance the values
of properties benefited, and in turn
does not increased property values
benefit the city as a whole?'

ed Usually the cooperation of wellestablish-

Among the cities where the school savings
banks have done notable work are Pittsburg, Pa,
where over 100000 has been deposited since the
introduction of the system. Chester, Pa, has
now deposit over $4,000. Toledo, O., estab-
lished the system in 1911, and has deposited
since then over 1882, 900, with $4,000 reported
as still on deposit. Atlantic City, N. j., has on
deposit over $33,OOO. Pupils in Grand Rapids,
Mich, deposited $4,000 in the several years
since establishing the bank and have drawn out
in that time only $4,000.
The federal authorities suggest that there
can be stimulating relation between the United
States postal savings system and the school saw
ings banks. The postal savings banks receive de-
posits from all over 10 years of age. "Children
who have spent their pennies and nickels in can
dy shops and moving picture shows until they
are 10 years DID," declares a government bull

Juneau and Douglas
 Telephone Go.

The growth of the Juneau and Douglas Telephone company has been gradual, and from 6 humble begin. hing. It was 26 years ago-in 1S90- that the service had its beginning. Ed. Webster has been the controlling spir. 1t in the company from the start, and now he owns every share of the company's stock. In 1890 he was the Pacific Coast Steamship company agen, at Juneau, and he and Frank Bach, at the present time deputy Unit. cd States marshal at Douglas, had a store at Douglas. They conceived the idea of having their oflces connected by a telephone, and the first telc. phones in this vicinity were those placed in their oices at that time. They used trees for poles on which to string their wires.
 Later J. P. Corbus, then in charge of the Treadwell store and afterWard superintendent of the Treadwell mine, desired to be connected with the sys- tenn, and the line was extended to Treadwell, and S-drop switchboard was put in at Douglas.
 c. E. Coon, . druggist whose store was located on the present site of the B. ". Behrends Bank, desired tel. ephonc connections. and offered to provide room for the exchange and to attend to t, o . 10-droD switchboard was secured, and placed there.

The com. panies on Douglas Island operate a general store. market. boarding houses. lodging houses. machine shop, blacksmith shops. boiler shops. sheet metal works. foundry. pattern shop, carpenter shop. electrical repair shops and others. About 70 cottages, have been built for married employees and as steam heat, electric light and wa. ter are supplied and the rents are less than for bare houses elsewhere the demand Is rather pressing, at least.

 It is planned to have a mill capable of crushing 5000 tons of ore in 24 hours. The mine is now undergoing extensive development to be ready for production of enough rock to keep the mill going. Mill construction will not be attempted until 1916.
 The engineers in reporting on the property, said:
 "The company owns on this vein over Q mile in length on the outcrop with a width between walls of some 300 feet. This length of outcrop and tremendous width give an enormous available tonnage of vein matter above sea level. The vein consists of slate carrying gold bearing quartz, irreg ularly distributed through it in the form of veinlets. stringeTs and mass es.. Dykes of metagabbro have intrud. ed themselves into the vein and these dykes in turn carry quartz similarly distributed. In some places the quartz Is sparingly distributed while In others It is more or less concen. trated. It seems highly probable that this quartz can, to a considerable degree. be sorted from the enclosing vein matter. thus yielding a mater. ially higher mill feed than the aver. age of the mass.
 Prom 1896 to 1914 a 90 stamp mil was operated upon the property with the following results:

 In 1910 the policy of electrifying the power system was inaugurated and as a result we have the Sheep Creek hy- dro-electric plant. flood water plant having a capacity of 250O kilo-watts. and the Nugget Creek plant having q capacity of 5000 kilo-wats.
