10 SOLVE THE CUNNISON
MOSQUITO PRODLEll
(By Prof. W. N. Goldsmithl
Continued from First Paee)

does it not seem as tho the number
could, ut least, be decreased in our
city.
No doubt every citizen has heard
Of the stories of the suffering and
death caused by diseases carried by
mosquitoes in the Panama Canal zone,
while the French were attempting to
dig the big ditch" Ship-load after
ship-load of laborers were sent over,
the largest percentage of whom sue
cumbed to the yellow fever. Engin-
GERS. doctors, and nurses sickened and
died alike. At one time eighteen
French engineers landed and within
one month all except one had died.
As a result of the systematic fight
inaugurated by our government, this
dreaded warrior has been driven from
the canal zone. Now this is consider
ed as safe place to live as in our
own country.
Although have not been honored
with the privilege Of being involved
in any of these classical and world
renowned trenches and various minor
schirmish lines in South East, better
known as Swamp-East, Missouri,
remember very distinctly one battle
in which I happened to be the captain.
One morning in the spring of 1910, a
surprise attack was waged upon the
unarmed citizens of our town. The
janitor had raised the high school
window quite early and thousands of
mosquitoes had entered. In fact, they
were far more numerous than l have
ever seen them. in Gunnison. / ex-
cused my biology students from their
regular work and put them to .clas-
sifying mosquitoes. 1t developed that
over 80 per cent of all that host were
Anopheles-the Malaria mosquito.
The matter was reported to the chair
man of the city health board and be-
fore night some 5000 citizens were
armed and in battle line. Every pool
of water in and about the town was
covered with film of oil and where
possible drained. A very close search
was made for old cans, cutters and
the like, which might contain stagnent
water. By so doing we had complete
ly conquered the reserve corps by kill
ing all the wiggle-tails. Since it was
absolutely impossible to conquer the
actual fighter it behooved every citi-
zen to remain, so far as possible, un-
der cover of mosquito-netting or
screen. The local physicians were
very careful to see that the mosquito
never had access to any patient sus-
pected Of malaria. We thus warded
off one of the common sweeping
plaques of the South.
The problem of mosquito extermin-
alton even in Gunnison is, after all,
. very great undertaking and cannot
be accomplished without very de-
finite and systematic organization in
cluding every citizen and land owner
in the city. Even then our only hopes
will be in the assumption that our
mosquitoes do not come from the
nearby meadows. On account of the
nature of the irrigation system of the
meadows and the fact that it would

erally believed that the largest per
eentage Of cdr mosquitoes come from
these meadows and thus = fight in the
city is hopeless Records Of past OBJ
servation do not substantiate this be-
lief, especially since they would usual
ly have to fly against the wind. There
is one specie that live along the coast
which have been known to hy q mile
or two inland but the form We have
here usually hatch out and live among
the tender grass near the water Of
their birth. For the past three sum-
mers, Mrs. Goldsmith and have
camped on the borders of Winona
Lake, Cld.) The mosquitoes seldom
visited our tent, although they were
in great abundance along the bitches
and marshes only short distance
back Of the camp grounds.
These and other observations sup
port Us in the hope that the meadows
southeast of town will not furnish
us with mosquitoes. after they have
been exterminated from our streets.
Our sole hopes are based on this as
sumption but it seems as tho it would
be worth while to put the problem to
test for the next two summers.
II the citizens are iterested in this
trial piece Of work the detailed meth
DDS would present themselves, as the
work proceeded. In general, how
ever, the following would be some of
the essential steps connected with the
work: First-No citizen should be
allowed to permit overflow water to
fill pools and deep cutters along the
streets and on premises where irriga-
tion is not necessary. Some people
seem to think that in order to irri-
gate their little garden or lawn, that
they must flood the whole community,
sometimes the water even covering
the concrete walks.
The people (whoever they may be)
who have charge of the irrigation of
the garden on the Normal school
ground south of the race track have
raised enough mosquitoes to ''tor-
ment" every citizen in town. At that
place there has been lake (not a
pooD of water almost the entire sum-
mer. The citizen who is responsible
for the long pool of stagnant water
on the northeast corner of Taylor
street and Ohio avenue has had just
about as fine crop Of wiggle-tails.
l, with some small boys was examin-
ing this pool few days ago and one
young fellow exclaimed, "Oh, gee, fell
lers, look here, there are ten million
and one wiggle-tails to every inch"
These are only two of the many un-
necessary stagnant pools Of water
in our town. We should therefore,
be more careful in irrigating and fill
with earth, not water. all the unnec-
essary depressions about our homes
Two-The sides Of the ditch banks
should be kept very smooth. Mo-
squitoes will not thrive in swift run
ming water. It was noted last week
that the water must be very smooth
when the adult matches out, other
wise .his boat will turn over and the
occupant drown" So it is not the
running water that gives US our rest
but the still eddies and pools along

A few Of us are talking about 1t all
right, but the majority of our business
men seem strangely Indifferent. Per-
haps, it is because in times past SO
many attempts have been made, that
proved abortive. Nevertheless, it is
taking united action at strategic
times that wins in cases like this.
News-C Champion voices the senti-
ment Of a good many here in suggest
ing that this is one Of those times.
The new management of the Midland

plans are yet fluid, and will yield to
pressure. Some Of its head men, not
ably e. P. Shove, are familiar with
the Gunnison country. They can Sc
cure the South Park right Of way for

lily be induced to combine with US in
this movement, for all are in the same

little whether the project is backed

appear there. and nothing has been
heard from him since that time.
Thinking her son possibly had enlist

War Department and had records
searched. His name did not appear on
any of them. however and the mother
was told 1t was possible that he had en-
