TRACTOR LEsSENs COST
 HAULING WOOD ON YUKON

"A notable instance of what the modern tractor can do in winter work, and possibly the first demon stration of the capabilities of such machine in the sub-Arctic," says tine Dawson News, '1s that of the steam tractor which has been en- gagged this winter on Hunker creek hauling wood for the Yukon Gold company.
 s "In twenty days the tractor hauled 2,OOO cords of wood seven and a half miles, taking 1t from the KlOndike river bank, to AT below on Hunker- Each day the machine made four round trips, a total of sixty miles h twenty-fOur hours, travelling two and half miles an hour. Alter the machine was adjusted and it was fully un- derstood, it hauled the wood for $2.75 a cord, or just half of what the cost was in hauling with teams. It delivered in a day 14O cords.
 ''The reduction in the fuel costs for thawing frozen placer ground, as pointed out by MT. Mcfarland, under the new system, will be $3 to S4 8 cord on wood, which will work a tremendous saving in dredge operations, and go far toward mak- ing lower grade graYels workable and thus prolong the life of dredg- ing companies tn the North"

DRIFTED ACROSS THE PACIFIC.
Eight Japanese Land at British coIum-

Eight Japanese Land at British CoIum-
 bia After Twenty-four Days.
 A story. of eight Japanese fishermen who drifted all the way across the Pa. cifc ocean in a small fishing boat, land ing after twenty-four days of hard. ships on the British Columbian shore, reached the bureau of navigation In consular dispatches.
 The narrative tells how the fisher men, caught off the hurbor of Shimoda, Japan, in a storm that carried away their vessels mainmast and rudder, were driven eastward by ocean cur rents, helpless, and how toward the end of their trip they were half starved The boat grounded on one of the small uninhabited islands thut dot the Brit lsh Columbian shore, where the men remained until picked up by a passing steamer,
 Only one of the party, the owner of the boat, suffered any serious i'll eff fleets from the trip. He is now in a Prince Rupert hospital.
 The boat was of the type common along the Japanese coast, fitted with cooking utensils. It became water logged in the storm that stripped 1t of sails, and after first attempts the Jap anese made no further effort to direct It's course.

HEALTH WORK IS
 FAR FROM PERFECT
Survey Covering 219 Cities Shows II Is Sill In Infancy.
WIDE RANGE IN THE COST.

Some Cities Spend Much More For
 Their Boards of Health Than othOro.
 one-fifth of tho Cities Make No
 Medical Inspection of School chII-
 dren-Few Havo Coherent Programs.
 A comprehensive survey covering 219 cities of the United States having more than 25,OOO population has been made of the activities of the health de- partments by Frank Schneider, Jr., of the department of surveys and exhibits of the Russell Sage foundation. His report is now being circulated by the foundation.
 Mir. Schneider's conclusion Is that public health work is still in its infan- cy, in some cities more than in others. Be suggests q minimum expenditure per capita by the health departments This should range from 50 cents to $1, according to the size of the cities. He has found that some cities spend as high as 9S cents per capita and others 6-e content with 1 cents.
 One-ffth of the 219 cities make no inspection of school children, he found; one-third did not offer the ordinary laboratory diagnoses for the common CT communicable diseases; one-fourth made no effort to educate In health matters; nearly three-fourths had no housing law; nineteen-twentleths had no concern with the hygiene off indus try; one-half had no proper organiza- ton to combat infant mortality, and more than three-quarters had no CO., herent program against tuberculosis.
 Efficiency Was Not Considered.
 MT. Schneider lays emphasis on the fact that his survey made no attempt to consider the efficiency of the work attempted, but only whether or not 1t was attempted.
 "When We reflect on the partial thor oughness with which their slender staffs compel them to perform their work" the report says, "the conclusion becomes inevitable that public health work in this country is still in its tn- fancy, certainly as far as application of established scientific methods is con | cerned.
 Another striking result of the tnVes- tlgation is the variation in activity ex- hibited by health departments in diff ferent sections of the country. The southern and Pacific cities clearly out rank the others, and the north central and mountain cities are markedly tD. feriOr.
 "One other point should receive an possible emphasls-the relations be- tween these examples of municipal neglect and the scanty health depart ment appropriations. What can we expect of q department in a city of 25,OOO whose total appropriation Is but S2OO? And if the New York city de- pertinent uses 5S cents for each inhab- itant each year and has to practice great care to make 1t go round what can our average city do on only p cents? Again, do any real differences in local conditions require that Seattle spend 9S cents an inhabitant each year while Woonsocket may rest content with 4 cents?'

REPORTS ROADS "BETTER
 THAN EVER" ON YUKON

"A Gustaveson, of Canyon creek on the Fortymile," says the Daw- son News, reports the road along the Yukon the best he ever saw 1t at this late part of the season.
 'aThe old Atwater dredge, located at the mouth of Franklin gulch, known as the richest producer of the old Fortymile streams" says Gustaveson, "is being got ready by Messrs. Carlson and, Nessler for operations this season. It looks as though the dredge has three years work there, and it should be a success as the pay there for dredg- ing is reported rich.
 some pro-Germans were quite noisy in the Fortymile district when the war broke out, and, as they were on the American side, they could keep on talking when not rapped on the nose, as they quite frequently were. But now that Uncle Sam is fighting the Germans, the kaiser's sympatbizers in that realm have tanned down. A good many men left the Fortymile recent ly by way of Ketchumstock to go to the war, and some prior to that came to Dawson and enlisted"

ing whether they will have to bear
an additional expense to take care
Of the roads in their township.
Under the act of the 1917 legisla,
ture, the township trustees are given
an increase in salary and the town
ship road supervisors are dispensed
with. The trustees however, are com
PEELED under the new law to perform
the duties of the supervisors.
Trustees are wondering now, wheth-
er they will have to stand the expense
of hiring work done on the roads, or
charge the expense to the township.
The new law makes a net saving to
the county Of about $2,97S each year.
Under the 1915 law. the trustees sal.
aries in this county amounted to

AMERICAN ENVOY
SUPPORTS TALE

LONDON, Aug. 4.-Louis Einstein
former special agent Of the American
embassy at Constantinople, writes the
Times supporting the story Of the
German conference July 5, 1914, pre-
ceding the declaration Of war.
He says that Marquis Garroni, the
Italian ambassador at Constantinople
told him that on July Is, the German
ambassador, Wangenheim. who had
returned to Constantinople from Ber.
lin the previous day, informed him OF
the conference at which Herr Wang
enheim himself was present and that
the war was decided upon at the con
ference.
The Austrian arch-duke's murder
was to me the pretext and the plan
was to present an ultimatum to Ser
bia which she could not accept and
from which war would ensue in forty
eight hours.
