PREPARE FOR RUSH TO YUKON
Hundreds Are Expected to Seek New
Oil Fields in the Mackenzie
River Valley.

Edmonton, Alta.-Steamboat com
panies operating on the rivers that
flow toward the Arctic from here are
ready for the hundreds expected to
travel north this spring to the newly
discovered oil fields at Fort Norman,
in the Mackenzie river valley of north
western Canada.
Although some believe the move
ment will assume the size of an early
gold field rush, the steamboat com
panies have vet received no indications
that stampede is about to take place.
1t is certain, however. that travel
toward Fort Normal sill be heavier
than ever this year. The three trans
portation companies can handle 5000
men and their outfits. both ways. dur
ing the open months. Some predict
only about 1000 will make the trip.
Every person going to the oil coun-
try must have round-trip ticket, the
Royal Canadian mounted police have
announced.

PERIL IN HOUSE FLY
Is Allowed to Spread Bacteria
Over Food Supplies.
Duty Of Every Community &c Spend:
Money in Warfare Against This
Enemy Of Mankind.

Washington, D. C.-"The danger or
the typhoid or house fly in the car
riage of disease has been abundantlya
demonstrated, and yet it is allowed
to breed unrestricted all over the5
United States; it Is allowed to enter
freely the houses Of the great major
ity Of our people; it is allowed toI
spread bacteria freely over our food
supplies In the markets and in thel
kitchens and dining rooms of privatel
houses"
Thus writes Dr. l.. o. Howard in al
communication to the National Geo
graphic society. He continues:
Even If the typhoid or house fly
were creature difficult to destroy,
the general failure on the part of COM
munities to make any efforts what
ever to reduce It's numbers could
properly be termed criminal neglect;
but, since it is comparatively an easy
matter TO do away with the plague
Of flies, this neglect becomes an evil
ness in regard to disease producing
filth which to the informed mind con-
stitutes serious blot on civilized
methods of life.
''If we allow the accumulation of
filth we will have house flies, and IL
we do not allow 1t to accumulate we
will have no house flies. With the
careful collection of garbage in cans
and the removal Of the contents at
more frequent intervals than ten days,
and with the proper regulation Of
abattOirs, and more particularly with
the proper regulation of stables In
which horses are kept, the typhoid
fly will become a rare species.
''We have shown that the typhoid or
house fly may carry typhoid fever,
Asiatic cholera, dysentery, cholera
morbus and other intestinal diseases;
it may carry the bacilli of tuberculosisi
and certain eve diseases; it is every
where present, and it is disposed of
with comparative ease. 1t is the duty
of every individual to guard so far as
possible against the occurrence of flies
upon his premises. 1t is the duty of
every community, through its board of
health, to spend money in the warfare
against this enemy Of mankind This
duty is as pronounced as though the
community were attacked by bands Of
ravenous wolves"

In 1865 the passing of an act Of
parliament for collecting colonial
revenue by stamps caused general in.
dignation and led to riots. The first
Colonial congress, consisting of %
delegates representing nine colonies,
made statement of grievances and
declaration of rights. The stamps
were destroyed or shipped back to
England. In 1766 the stamp act was
repealed, to the great joy of the col.
onists; but the principle of colonial
taxation was not abandoned and in
1T67 duties We're levied on glass, pa
pers, printers coors and tea. This

PILOTS DENY CHARGES
Accusations Against Aerial Mail
Men Are Disproyed.
Accidents to Planes Due to Causes
Beyond Control of Executive and
Mechanical Forces.

Chicago.-The Chicago members of
the Air Mail Pilots Association of
America have issued a formal state
ment In reply to charges against the
ohcials and others connected with the
aerial mail field near haywood. Ill.
In this the pilots fatty deny the
accusations made by exploit C. c..
EyersOle, who asserted the deaths Of
several pilots and mechanics were
due to criminal negligence and in
efficiency of the executives and per-
sonnet OF the haywood field. To
disprove this they give detailed
statement of the fatal accidents that
have occurred to planes from that field.
showing they were due to causes be-
yond the control of the executive and
mechanical forces.
"The haywood field" say the
pilots, ''has always possessed an ex-
cellent reputation among the pilots of
the association from coast to coast
for keeping It's ships in the best pos
sible condition under all circumstances
and for fair and conscientious ex-
ecutives who have on every occasion
permitted them to use their own judg-
ment as TO when and how to get the
mail through That their methods
were successful is attested to by the
fact that this field, now so much under
discussion, maintained an average Of
So per cent throughout the winter
just past, which, due to frequent fogs
was the worst in the experience of the
pilots.
"The pilots Of this association fly
ing from Chicago wish to express their
appreciation of the fact that the ex-
ecutives of the field have never urged
them in any way TO leave the field
against their own better judgment"
The statement concludes with a
summary of the record made by Ever
sole while in the air mail service.

fact that he is no longer in the
