City Will Keep Full
Record Of Belongings

At the meeting of the city coun-
Gil last Monday evening City
Electrician William Il. Green
made his first report to the council
in record book form, showing a
complete inventory of all property
belonging to the city in his de-
partment.
This is said to be the first time
in the history of the city any at
tempt has been made to keep ab-
solute track of city property in a
business like way 1t will be the
rule hereafter to have each depart
ment keep a record of every article
of property belonging to the city.
The city council recently raised
objection to the promiscuous buy
ing of tools and various supplies,
charging them to the city's ac-
count, and issued an order to the
local merchants that bills would
not be allowed unless a properly
issued purchasing order had first
been presented. 1t is expected the
new and more business-like way
of conducting the city's purchases
will effect considerable saving.

No Vacant Land Near
Nipk0's Spud Patch

Alderman Underhill, chairman
of the garden committee, has re-
orted that, since the trial of the
Nipko- Boyd case which involved
parcel of ground belonging to
the city and to the Beckers, he has
secured from the general land Office
at Washington certified copy of
the patent with plat of the ground
showing that all lands mentioned
in the case have been patented for
more than thirty years to Theodore
H. Becker and Harrison Montague; !;
and that the records at this time
show that said lands now belong
to the city of Idaho Springs and
the Becker heirs.
Whereupon, on motion duly
carried, it was ordered that the
report be spread upon the records
of the city, it being the sense of
the council that encouragement
will be given to gardening as here
tofore
Thus it is clearly demonstrated
that Chairman Underhill was alb
solutely correct when he aportioned
the piece ground in auesti on to
Nipko and associates for garden
ing purposes.

Flu" Vaccine Used
Successfully Here

According to DR.. f. g. Rosenow
of Rochester, Minnesota. ninety
percent of the deaths of influenza
and pneumonia are preventable,
when a properly prepared vaccine
is used.
DIR. Rosenow quotes figures on
the incubation around Rochester,
showing that after the third in
oculation there We're nine cases of
influenza per thousand againt 22O
per thousand among the un inocu-
lated. More than 10000 persons
were given the three inocuIations.
and their cases were compared with
6l,OU not given the treatment,
and the deaths per thousand from
influenza and pneumonia among
the former class We're one tenth
the number among the latter class.
DR.. Rosenow is bacteriologist at
the Mayo institution at Rochester.
and upon results of his use of the
vaccine was based a decision that
no operation IN the hospital will
be performed upon any patient
who has not been inoculated
With this excellent Endorsement
in mind, DR.. A. Ashbaugh sent to
his son DR., Guy Ashbaugh, in ser
vice at the institution, as ing him
about the vaccine. He received
the highest recommendation gath
cred from the use 0 it among
prtients in the hospital and out,
and in the insane asylum there
DR.. Guy sent his father supply,
which the doctor has used as Il
preventative and as cure in the
early stages of influenza and pneu-
monia, with gratifying success.
The vaccine is an almost clear
liquid, and is administered as a
hypodermic. If properly used
there should be no wound such as
results from vaccination. Three
doses about seven days apart are
thought sufficient to insure one
against the disease for at least one
year, and only time can tell what
further benefit may be expected.
Chicago ordered the vaccine in
in vast quantities, and the city's
population were vaccinated by the
thousands daily.
We are not prepared to say to
what extent compulsory vaccina-
ton againt the inroads of influ
enza is being ordered, but happen
to know that everyone leaving his
home in Havre, Montana, must
have "shot in his arm.
All employees of the Great West
ern sugar company in northern
Colorado have been given the in
oculation at their own option, and
at the expense of the company.
The cost seems to be negligible,
and the three hypodermics are adj
ministered for something like 81.
With the accumulation of testi-
mony in favor of the use of this
precaution, it would seem wise to
consider it individually if not as a
community.
