/ Des Moines. Aug. 4. - Altho no fly
statistics. are at hand and nobody has
been around counting flies, neverthe-
less w. b, Barney, state food and
dairy. commissioner, ventures the as
sertion that flies are fewer than ten
years ago in Iowa. The swat the fly
campaigns are beginning to show re-
suits Commissioner Barney says.
If this swat the fly movement keeps
up persistently we will have practical
ly eliminated flies in another decade"
said Commissioner Barney this morn
ing. 1T is showing results In most
appreciable defamation in flies. I feel
sure we do not have nearly so many
flies in this state as we had few
years ago.
There are places in Germany where
flies have been exterminated just be-
cause the people have made continuous
war against them. It will mean a
great deal to the public health when
we get rid of flies.
They are germ carriers, these pests.
Doctors say they carry typhus germs,
infantile paralysis germs ana many
other infectious microbes. They are
dirty, filthy insects and the campaigi,
against them should be kept up until
they are exterminated."
Boy Scouts Make Traps.
The Boy Scouts in Des Moines have
set themselves to making fly traps
these tall Gene shaped kind made out
of wire netting, and soon 1000 Of these
traps will be In use in Des Moines.
They are very reflective in gathering in
the flies in Sgreat numbers. They are
also making box shaped trap as rec
commended by the government. They
are said to be very effective.
Merchants and manufacturers have
done big business insfly sWatters all
over the country. Fly swatting is be-
coming national pastime apparently
During the late summer and early fal!
the flies are most IN evidence and es-
pecialy pestiferous.
From the number of bulletins on the
subject now. being distributed by the
state food and dairy department and
the state health department it looks as
tho there was a sort of mobilization
by households and by communities for
final late season onslaught against
flies.

COPPER ORE IN SEWER.
Workers in Des Moines Uncover Vein
Six Inches Thick.

Six Inches Thick.
Des Moines, Aug. Allow did copper
ore get into the Franklin avenue
sewer?
This is a problem which is puzzlins
local biologists, who maintain that
copper ore is only found In mountain
Gus regions where there are deposits
of granite.
But the ore is there just the same
and it is SO rich with metal that as
savers estimated yesterday it is worth
about 5000 ton.
j. Nj. Galusha, who resides at 231
Franklin avenue, has two Jumps OF
the ore which are as big as a mans
list. They were taken from the sewer
excavation in front of his house
The discovery was made by J. b
Sheets Company, holders of the Frank
lin avenue sewer contract When the
company reached depth of thirty
five feet in front of Galusha's house
they struck Il stratum of the ore
which proved to be about six inches
in depth.
falusla had a sample OF the ore
assayed yesterday and he reported to
John budd, street superintendent
that its commercial value with tho
present high price of copper would
be close to 5000 Il ton.
We viii go ahead with the sewer
without making any further investi-
cations Budd said last night The
street department is more Interested
In sewers than it is in copper mines
Furthermore, if the layer is only six
inches deep there would not be
enough of the ore to warrant the
sinking of mine
But Galusha and his neishbors take
the matter more seriously. They are
going to have some more of the ore
assayed, and will endeavor to find out
how extensive the deposit is.

Hampton, Aug. 4.-The publication
Of story here last week to the effect
that beer and high balls" could be
at car belonging to "the
carnival company" that poker games
We're in operation" and various other
Irregularities, turns out upon investi-
cation to have little foundation in fact.
It Is declared that all this was news
to the city officials and peace officers,
and they deemed that if it was true it
should have been reported to then.,
while if the assertions were untrue
they should not be obliged to bear the
odium of false accusation. Accord
ingly an investigation was started be-
fore Mayor Salisbury and nine wit
nesses were summoned. When put UNI
der oath the witnesses related stories
that were much less emphatic and ir-
regular. The whole story had but very
little foundation, and after hearing the
witnesses the mayor dismissed the case
for lack Of evidence.
