VISITS PRESCOTT
Senior Sanitary Engineer of the

Pays Glowing Tribute to City
for Splendid Work Done.

]. A. LePrince, senior sanitary en-
gineer of the United States Public
Health Service, together with Sani-
tary Engineer L. g. Hastings, came
in last night from Little Rock.
Mr.. LePrince has headquarters in
Memphis, Tenn, and his duties are
checking up on anti-malarial work
done in the towns of the South.
Because of the limited time here,
he made a survey of the work done
here by Mr.. Hastings between the
hours of 5 and 8 o'clock this morning,
leaving at 500 for Arkadelphia to
do the same work therer
He reports the work done here to
be of the very highest type and if
carried on as is being done, to pro-
duce absolutely efficient results.
No breeding was found in the con-
troll zone and Information was found
in only one place, the mosquito there
being a harmless variety.
Prescott is very fortunate to have
a visit by such a man as Mr.. LePrince
as he is authority on anti-malarial
work in the South and is foremost in
directing it.
He is a man of more than twenty

BIG FISH

N. B. Nelson was officially declared
the champion fisherman of the season
yesterday when he brought five
pound trout from Blue Lake.
Charles Pittman formerly held the
record catch of four and three-quarter
pounds, caught at Grassy Lake.
Old fishermen, or people who have
fished a lot say that large trout do
not put up very vigorous resistance
when hooked, but this boy must have
been in a bad humor, for Mr. Nelson
says he fought like Dempsey, ran
like Homer Graham and pulled like
a Missouri mule.

He was engineer in charge of anti
malarial work in the Panama Canal
zone, under Gorgas during the con-
struction of the Panama Canal.
He has also done this work in Cuba
Mr. LePrince stated he would visit
Prescott again the latter part of July
or August.
Mr.. Hastings accompanied Mr.. Le-
Prince to Arkadelphia, where they
will go over the work being done
there today. From there Mr.. Le-
Prince goes to Lake Charles, La, and
Mr.. Hastings will return here to-
night
Too much Importance cannot be at
tached to the health work being done
by the anti-mosquito campaign and
the effectiveness of the work was
made evident by the statements made
last night by attendants at the
Chamber of Commerce, none of whom
had seen a mosquito this year A fine
showing and an excellent condition
for town to be in-rid of malarial
mosquito.
funds for this work are coming in
rather slow in view of the satisfac-
tion the residents of the city are ex-
periencing over the absence of the
mosquito pest. 1t means health if
we apply our wealth or if we keep
our wealth we might lose our health
and many a millionaire would give his
wealth for health.
