TIME TO AWAKE.

70 the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir: I have been reading with much
interest Of the various activities OF
your Board of Health. Well, it is about
time it woke from its long nap.
As visitor to your city, ! often
wondered if the Board Of Health had
any idea or interest in the unsanitary
condition Of more than one.half of your
city.
In the summer one sees any number
Of vacant lots covered with stagnant
water and high weeds the breeding
places for hordes Of mosquitoes, not
only making life unbearable Tor the peo-
pie and particularly deienseless little
children. but also being the cause OF ma
laria. which undermines the health OF 80
many of your poor working people and
children Are there no sanitary inspec-
tors TO report the conditions of alleys
and back yards?
Then. look at your markets and fruit
and produce and meat shops. No mod
ern city would stand for such state OF
affairs.
Contrast the city of Wilmington,
with its 100000 inhabitants, with any
citv of the South having from 25,Ou0
inhabitants upward, and what do we
scey At tho head OF these cities the
president of the Board OF Health is a
good sanitarisn. lie sees that property
holders keep the weeds cut down ON va
cant lots aud has Kerosene oil placed on
all pools of staguant water a. well as
weekly placed in all cesspool-. Manure
in stables is kept in screened receptacles
80 that flies can't come from manure TO
food All merchants are compelled by
city ordinance 10 keep meats, fruits,
vegetables and all foods that arc eX-
posed for sale in screened cases. so that
thew cannot be contaminated by flies.
All yards must be kept in a sanitary
condition,
An annual cleanup week. is OBJ
served each spring. when housckeepers
are allowed to place trash out any hour
Of The day or night for that whole week
extra men being employed by the de-
partment TO carry away the refuse TO
the crematory. Yards and cellars are
whitewashed and houses cleaned from
attic TO cellar. During this period the
civic departments of the women's clubs
20 to various schools, talk TO the moth
ers and children, and encourage them in
this cleanup work and explain its rcla-
4 tion TO health
Then a "city beautiful campaign is
inaugtmatcd and flowers are planted in
every available place, source Of in
struction and pleasure to housekeepers
and children.
How different from some Of the dread
( ful tenement centers in Wilmington
/ which look so neglected and unsanitary
that ono wonders worse plague than
smallpox has not visited Wilmington
| before now.
! let us hope the new Board of Health
will get active and work for a cleaner
and better Wilmington instead of hav-
/ ing IL an cvesore and harbor for all
! kinds Of disease.
This is not written in an unkind
spirit. but as suggestion that fumiga-
! tion as practicod by average Board Of
/ Health squads means very little unless
a general cleanup" il insisted upon
afterward.
II women were on the Board Of
Health you would soon see great i'm
proyement.

Suffrage PLANKS
AIM OF THE WOMEN
Congressional Union Plans
Big Pre-Convention
Campaign
WILL WORK HARD
FOR ENDORSEMENT

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The CAM
paign by the Congressional Union TO
force the adoption OF a suffrage plank
in both the Republican and Democra-
tic platforms is being carefully pre-
pared, according TO an announcement
from the unions headquarters here
Miss Alice Paul, the national chair
man, will soon return here for a final
drive at the Senate before going to
Chicago 10 take charge Of the prelim-
mary work there. Tho statement is
sued by the union quotes a Represen-
tative as saying:
"Ihe adoption Of an equal suffrage
plank in one or both of the platforms
or the two great parties promises 20
be an important issue in the coming
national conventions"
Whether there are two million
women voters or three million" the
unions statement continues. sis not
so important to the politicians just
now as the fact that ninety-One Presi-
Dental electors will be chosen by the
equal suffrage States Of Arizona. Cali
fornia, Colorado. Idaho, Illinois. Kan
sas. Montana. Nevada Oregon. Utah,
Washington and Wyoming.
"With an electoral college OF 531
the women voters could easily de-
termine the outcome OF a Presidential
election by their choice OF the ninety
one electors they will help name
Hence the vote in the equal suffrage
States is tremendously important. es-
pecially when it is remembered that
President Harrison had a majority OF
only S5 electoral votes, Cleveland but
81 and Garfield only 50.
81 know that the subject is being
freely discussed in the House cloak
rooms. said the member Of Congress
quoted above. And the general be-
lief is expressed that whatever disad-
vantages. from political point OF
view. might accrue from an indOrse-
ment Of woman suffrage. they would
be far outweighed by the advantages
Members Of Congress generally recog-
nize that woman suffrage is bound ia
come. AS matter Of practical judg-
ment. political eXigencies seem quite
likely to dictate its Endorsement in the
national platforms"

The Valdez has returned to the road stead after an extended stay in north ern waters, W. R. Hintze, Kotzebue sound agent of the Alaska Steamship Company, who was on the Valdez says that the trip to Kotzebue was fine in all respects but that the Valdez was storm bound at Teller for several days
 The greatest difficulty of all was in taking tin ore from York. One of the unfortunate features of the operations between Teller and York was the loss of lighter belonging to Whittard &
 Barnett of Teller. This lighter and the launch Kotzebue belonging also to Whittard & Barnett were being lowed and broke away in the strong

quently he came into the possession of Allan X Darling, and about five years gao Mrs. Darling took him to Berkeley, Cal, to end his days There he became the pet and friend of the Allan children and their associates. He also made friends with everybody. At the San Francisco fair he custom arily helped in the reception of noted guests gravely sitting on his launches and exeending his paw which was shaken by doens of governors, senators and other prominent people.
 Jack McMllan was killed by an auto q couple of weeks ago by acci- dent and partly because as the letter says. he did not think anybody would harm him." All of his child friends and many others shed tears because of the death of the good old fellow He lies buried under the rose bushes of the Darling home where the Allans now live. Many children brought flowers to put on the grave.

Tn Eskimo which is published by the bureau of education, edited by Dyfed Evans, and printed by the Nug- get, issues from the press today. The present number is entirely readable from beginning to end. A simply worded, lucid article on the reindeer situation addressed to Eskimos is the principal contribution. It deals clear ly with the ownership of deer by na- tives and whites and contains good ad- vice to the former as to their duties in the matter. The editorial squibs are exceptionally bright. In addition to many items of interest and some short verse by Mrs. Darling there are two talks to Eskimos by experienced rein deer natives on the subject of the care of the herds and these are rich because of the unusual English con- struction in which they are framed. The advice to Eskimos throughout the little monthly paper is so sensible that no reasonable person can help endors- ing it in every detail.

The lighter ing was done with native skin boats and ships boats. Owing to success sion of storms the Valdez was forced to return to Teller several times as there is no good holding ground at York. After great delays and much hard work about 35 tons of the ore were got aboard and about 200 empty oil drums The Valydez ceased oper- ations only when the surf got so bad that the small boats capsized every time they tried to get through. It is not known how much ore was left be- hind but probably half of it was taken.
