 TO BE TAKEN

Owing to the heavy epidemic of Spanish influenza now prevalent on the Outside the physicians of the interior are taking precautions to prevent the dread disease from gain ing foothold among the inhabitants of this section of Alaska. Yesterday Dr. J. A. Sutherland sent night letter to Governor Riggs as to the advisability of fumigating the mails for the interior and the segregation of the passengers coming in as a preventative.
 As yet no reply has been received but undoubtedly the governor. who Is alive to the situation, will respond favorably to the proposition and au- thort1e some such measures being taken. No alarm need be felt by the inhabitants. of the interior ow- ing to our remote locality, but it would be just as well for those re- ceiving mail from points in which the disease has worked or is working to give some sort of fumigation to all mail before opening it.

IT'S A When the committee DIFFERENT was gathering infor- STORY NOW nation as to the

 Last week the shipment arrived with the invoices and his cream cost him $S.95. At the time the cream arrived the local companies were jobbing cream at $8.25 so he lost 40 cents on this particular item.

WOOL SECURING PLANT
Emmett Considered Suitable Location
for Industry

"In these days of conservation, why
not abstract the grease and dirt from
the large quantities Of wool produced
in the Emmett country before ship
ping it to Eastern MARKET" queried
E. K Hayes at last nights meeting
of the Commercial Club.
According to Mr.. Hayes, 40 per
cent of the weight in wool shipped
from here is dirt and grease The
railroad facilities are overtaxed in
handling tonnage. Why haul nearly
a million pounds of dirt and grease
to Boston every year in the 3 million
pounds of wool shipped from this sec
ton? That is very pertinent ques-
ton.
Mr.. Hayes contends that Emmett
is admirably situated for wool scour-
ing plant. He suggests that the plant
be installed near the Boise Payette
Lumber mill; that the heat from the
refuse burner, which is wasted, be
utilized to heat water for securing
wool, thus not only conserving trans
uortation of the railroads but also
utilizing the enormous quantity OF
heat now being wasted at the mill. A
committee was appointed to investi-
gate the proposition.
