sarr d. the close of the war to ask
the tenants of tho now houses to pay

1t is recommended that the govern
ment should furnish money for these
projects only when tho general plan Of
the housing estate or area meets with
the local government boards approval
The areas should bc laid out on mod
crn town-planning lines, and the num-
Der OF houses per acre in urban dis

vided. No house should be more than

GRIM DEATH STALKS
 IN OLD DAWSON CITY
 SAYS PIONEER PRINTER

DOUGLAS, Feb. 4.-Harry Fetch CT, one of the early day printers of Dawson and who alternated between sticking type" and prospecting for the elusive paystreak, was a south bound passenger on the City of Seat tie today and he admitted to The Empire correspondent while the boat lay at the dock here this morning that he was afraid to remain in Daw son during the remainder of the win ter.
 Mir. Fletcher said there had been 36 deaths in Dawson, principally from pneumonia, since the first of Decem- Der and up to the time he left there about the middle of January that at the time he left there were 21 bodies in the morgue awaiting bur ial.
 At Dawson it has always been the customer of the undertakers to have a number of graves excavated in the fall before the freezeup as it is al most impossible to dig them later. But the demand lately so far exceed ed the number of graves prepared that the only practical thing to do was to hold the bodies until the ground thaws in the spring, which is being done.
 More than half the deaths at Daw- son lately, according to MT. Fletcher, were of old-timers of from IS to 20 years residence in the Interior. Of the Dawson Daily News Staff, Editor c. R. Settlement, Business Manager o. F. Kastner and the pressman were all in the hospital at the same time and all were considered to be in a dangerous condition for several days. However, they all recovered. MT. Fletcher says the contagion had just about run it's course when he left there.

FIRST ALASKA BOY TO REACH FRANCE
 NATIVE ISLANDER

DOUGLAS. Feb. 4.-While it is not generally known, it is a fact never theless, that the first young man from this portion of Alaska and prob ably from the entire Territory to reach France for service in Uncle Sam's army is a native born Douglas boy and his name is w. E. Aldrich, a nephew of Senator Frank Aldrich of Juneau.
 w. E. Aldrich was born a little more than 20 years ago in a house which stood near where Brie's Drug Store now is, his father at that time being employed at Treadwell. Sev, eral of his boyhood years were spent here before his parents moved away
 Young Aldrich was with Pershing in Mexico last year and when only 19 years of age. When the com. mander was sent to France with the first American contingent the Alaska boy went with him and, from news lately received from him by his Jul neau uncle, he is still there and with Pershing on the front.

frage or the prohibition laws with out the intervention of Congress, there is no reason to suspect that there will be any desire for, action on these matters by the people of the Territory. No State or Terri tory that has adopted and tried out woman suffrage has ever willingly discarded it, and Alaska will not. The large majority for prohibition at election when the saloons of the Territory were all running full blast would indicate that there will be no demand for the restoration of the liquor traffic in the North.
 Whether or not the measure will pass this year is now questionable There is disposition on the part of Congress not to consider less- lation that has no relation to the war. However, it may be said that Chairman w. c. Houston, of the House committee on Territories is very strongly in favor of a wider measure of home rule for Alaska, and that he is not by any means convinced that the measure might not be taken up at the present ses-
