Thos. Lavinguerur, one of the old

anxious to move his saw mill to Oro-

contracts with owners of timber to
deliver logs at the mill. He declares
that more money can be made at the
present price of logs delivering the
same at Oroville than cutting the tim

He is quite anxious to hear from tim

consider the proposition, and if he can

more grain, but there is no place In
which to store the same. The Commer-

aria-carrying mosquito from a 10
square-mile area sounds like a biz
task, especially If there were only
two months in which to Go ii. But
the task wasn't too big for the Sani
tary' experts who had it in charge
Mosquito breeding pools and chan.
mel water courses were drained Other
pools were filled in. In yet other
places the mosquito larvae were kill
ed by pouring oil on the water once
in every seven days throughout the
breeding season.
The general public was induced to
screen its dwellings, more carefully
than ever before. Cases of malarial
fever were specially treated
Ali this happened in Pulaski coun-
ty, Kansas, last summer before the
first men arrived at the new army
cant0nment at Little Rock
This vast mosquito war is only one
small item in the sanitary measures
taken In the extra cantonment district
surrounding that one camp. There
was a sweeping and thorough sani-
tary survey. Every dairy in the re-
gion was inspected and cleaned up.
There was a general improvement in
cleanliness, in reporting and check
ig communicable disease. A large
majority of the inhabitants were vac.
cinated for small pox and typhoid.
Sewage systems were installed or
improved the water supply was made
safe. The work was broad and eItec- /
tive. II included everything from phi /
vatc houses to ice cream parlors
And Pulaski county is but one of
the localities where such work was
done In the region surrounding ev.
cry one OF the environments and in
places where smaller groups of men
were being brought together for Mill
