YELLOW fever ga.
EPIDEMIC over
IN so. AMERICA
Pacific Coast Is Now Free of
Scourge-" Life" Fish
Is Responsible.

LIMA, Peru, April 12.--The Pa
from yellow fever for the first time
in history and a little fish locally
known as life" has been the most
efficient agent in the battle to rid
Peru of the drel1S1 disease.
The fish, which will have to be
soier'F fically identified in Washing
ton, was found to be the most active
destroyer of mosquito larvae. Moro
than 100000 of them have been dis
tr1ib'1fed by ones, twos and threes in
all the watcr containers in the
houses in the Departments of Lam
bayeque and Libartad For an ordin-
fIy water cont liner of 10 or Is gal
Ions. two CT throe fish were sufff-
ciert
No food was provided SO that the
hungry fish would live on the or
gan!c Meter lin the water. Every
eight or ten days inspectors visited
the houses to make sure the fish
were still living and doing their
work.
The final chapter of yellow fever
campaign is being written by DR..
Henry Hanson of the International
Health Board of the Rockefeller
Foundation, which lis spending large
sums to help the government of
Peru rid her territory of the dreaded
pest.
Seven hundred miles of the coastal
section of Peru have been the battle
ground of the campaign and the esti-
mated number of deaths lis 1900 For
months DR.. Hanson and his associ-
ates have fought heroically to keep
back the advancing lines Of the en-
envy, for at times it was feared that
the epidemic would spread south to
Lima, the Peruvian capital, and to
Guayaquil, Ecuador, but the campaign
has resulted in a victory for the
health workers
There have been no cases since
July, 1921 but the work lis still going
on as a matter of insurance. DIR.
Hanson has about 125 men working
and will continue until about May.
They do not intend to leave the faint
est doubt when they have finished
that there is any danger of yellow
fever lurking in Peru. This lis ex-
pected to be the last yellow fever
campaign on the Pacific Coast OF
South America. T.

WHITE SETTLERS
MOSTLY WANTED
Australians for Association to
Encourage Only White
Settlement.

SYDNEY, N. S. w, April 12.-The
North Australian White Settlement
Association is being formed as the
result of. the recent controversy over
the question of developing the North
ern Territory by the aid of negro
labor, it's officers announced here
today.
The project will involve large i'm.
migration and colonization. Persons
behind the movement contend that
the people of the north are SO few
shat they cannot press the claims for
the territory effectively without as.
sistance. After a century of British
occupation, they said that the white
population on the $4,000 acres Is
only 1000. along a coastline Of more
than 1000 miles. In contrast, they
declare that the population of the
Commonwealth as a whole has in
creased by approximately 4,250,000
persons, or fivefold, in the past 81
years.
The aims OF the organization in
elude working for closer coordination
between all interests; pressing for
improved transportation and com
munication; ascertaining what in
dustries are suitable and facilitating
their establishment; encouraging DO
muses. for results or possibilities dem
onstrated; ascertaining and remov'
ing causes OF previous failures in
land settlement, and making resi-
dence in the territory practicable for
women and children by providing
residential. medical, re~eational and
labor-saving facilities.
Prime Minister Hughes. speaking
in parliament recently, denounced
the proposal TO introduce negro labor
into the territory. Millions OF for
mer British soldiers are looking fol
homes and the hour Is "propitious
for opening the door and bidding
them come in," he said.

BY p. A. THELlN

A country OF constant surprise
and wonder-you who have always
thought of Alaska as bleak and ice
clad and but the home of seals and
the producer of gold under the cruel
est ardships-listen! Its harbors
On the Pacific Ocean are free from
ice the year round, its climate is
nearly as varied as California-Sitka
has more equable climate than
Washington, d. c., it's lowest tenn
peratdre being 3I6 degrees, with a
mean August temperature of 81 de-
grees against that of San Francisco
of 5S degrees. AT Prince William
Sound, Alaska, the average winter
temperature is. 80 degrees above zero,
which is the average of New York
and Boston. Ice is never found in
the harbors whereas New York and
Boston are frequently tied up with
ice; there are no wind storms, the
snow that falls in winter never drifts
and only in the Interior of Alaska
are the winters severe. Even as
far north as st. Michael, north of
the Boring Sea, the August tenn
perature averages SIS degrees with a
mean winter temperature in Febru-
airy of 2.3 degrees above zero.
One may travel two thousand one
hundred miles up the Yukon River
and find neither ice or snow, but
everywhere a luxuriant plant life
birds, flowers and small animals,
such as one would find along the
upper Mississippi.
What is the size of Alaska? How
few have any conception is larger
than the combined areas of Belgium,
Holland, Finland, Denmark, Norway,
Sweden, England, Ireland, Scotland
and the former German empire. It
has $4,000 miles OF coast line, four
times that of the United States, or
equal to the distance around the
world. Alaska covers exactly the
same parallels of latitude that the
above named countries cover and is
influenced by the japanese current.
What can be grown in Ohio can
be grown in great tracts of Alaska
the broad river valleys covering
one-third of the country have no.

therefore grow faster and make up

ALASKA PICTURES ARE
BEING SHOWN AT COLISEUM

The Alaska pictures shown at the
Coliseum by p A. Thel:n, past and
present, are among the best seen in
Juneau, as a whole, for wide va
ldety of subjects and country is COW
cred.
Opening with slides CT the early
days, explained by Mr.. Thelin, the
movies show prescnt-day scenes, fish
cries, agriculture, wild game, and
the Alaska Railroad. With explana-
tons by a lecturer, with bits OF hui
NOR thrown in, and more su5-tltles,
the pictures should make a great hit
anywhere lin the States for they
cover wide range of subjects from
the Coast, through the Interior, to
the Arctic, around Wrangell Island,
which may soon become an interna-
tional question.
The dog races are especially in
teresting as Mr.. Thclin spent con
siderable money and kept near the
racers with his own dog team and
secured many hundred feet of excel
lent parts of the races besides the
start and finish. The wild game pic
lures are new and the roping of a
wild moose especially so. The
scenes taken around Herschel Island
are new, never before having been
taken by movie men in the Arctic
Mr.. Thelin in taking his pictures has
caught many amusing incidents
The pictures as a whole are well
worth seeing by Alaskans and viii,
be shown tonight for the last time
at the Coliseum.
