Good ResuItina From War.

Carlyle has said somewhere that civ ilization rides on a gun carriage. So
 does the genius of public health. The Spanish war initiated. through it's medi- cal officers, another war-the one with
 yellow fever. The battle against ty- phoid was waged more vigorously and systematically in the American army than anywhere else. The building of the Panama canal, largely for naval purposes. completed the conquest of both yellow fever and typhoid The number of lives which have been and will be saved by these two victories of science undoubtedly exceeds many times all the losses of the present war.

 "A young couple from the rural dis trict came to q city minister to be mar ried. The young fellow found that he did not have enough money sith which to pay the marriage fee. He promised. however, to pay him in potatoes when they were ready for digging.
 'The minister waited for some time, but the botatoes were not forthcoming. One morning. being near the young mans farm, he called and inquired the reason.

OF the three great figures that emery

De Wet, as was his wont, went apart
from his men and sat alone In dumb
despair. Then there came to him soft
ly one of those wonderful scouts who
served him SO well. The scout had dis
covered a slight gap In the British
lines between two regiments that were

In a moment De Wet was on his

KILLING OUR BUSINESS

A GENTLEMAN wko has apparent
ly reached the years of mature judg-
ment remarked yesterday THAT the
Prospector was trying to play into the
hands of the Dock company by ad-
vocating the sale of the wharf"
Which makes a good campaign argu-
ment for a man whose thoughts are
confined to those organs of speech
used most by the thoughtless. If the
Prospector believed that its stand for
the advancement of the town would
cost ten cents it would be like a
large majority of people and refuse to
consider it. Every cent that it raised
on merchandise, coal, laundry, and
the other necessities of life, hits this
paper as hard as it does anyone else,
and little harder, as we use more
than the average person in both coal
and other commodities. A dollar looks
as large to us as it does the average
man, and is as hard to get. The argu-
ment that a man would deliberately
Valdez daily prospector. (Valdez, Alaska) 1905-1918, 1917-09-20

advocate something to increase his
expenses is as logical as other state
ments continually made by those who
do not stop to think. But what helps
one citizen helps another; what hurts
one citizen hurts all. You cannot
build up a town and advance few
at the expense of the many. II the
few make money all will make mon
ey, IL each man works as hard and
saves as carefully as the other. You
can accuse a man of deliberately
catching the smallpox or the measles
but it is mighty hard to prove it, and
people who hear you make the state
ment will have doubts of your sanity
and logic. Every man who does not
believe as you do is not member OF
the cumberland; and we are fair
enough to believe that those who do
rot believe as we do are as con-
scientious in their views as we are.
A town is like a business; it cannot
remain stationary. 1t must go ahead
or go back. And once town starts on
the toboggan it's very momentum
makes it hard to stop.

THE merchants of Valdez and the
Dock company state that freight for
small boats is not charged for, nor
has it been since Mr.. Lathrop took ov-
er the dock. The company has provid-
ed a landing for small boats free
of charge, and the merchants are al
lowed to bring freight to and from
the boats also without charge. The
Dock company states that it has never
barred any one from connecting up
to it's wharf at any time so long as
the buildings do not increase its fire
risk.

pened that when dining out one day at

served that 1t was impossible that the
natives Of Abyssinia could eat raw
meat. Without making any reply Bruce
forthwith left the table and before long
returned from the kitchen with a piece
of raw beefsteak, peppered and sailed
In the Abyssinian fashion. Placing this
in front of the guest, who had doubt
ed his word, he said. "Sir, you will
eat this or fight me-" The guest pre-
ferred the former alternative. There
