MANILA TO GUARD
 AGAINST EPlDEMICS

| MANILA, Dec. 26-The health au-
 thorities in Manila, in their cam l paign to prevent contagious dis
 eases and avoid the spread of epi-
 demics, are proposing plan where
 by all cooks and house servants in
 Manila must report to the health
 authorities of the city for regular l inspection and certification that they are free from disease. It is believed l that many epidemics and much of
 the communicable diseases are aided
 in their spread by cooks handling l food This is especially important in
 the case of cooks and servants in the
 restaurants.
 Recently municipal ordinance
 was effected in Manila to prevent small stores and shops from giving drinking water to their patrons,
 since such water, usually taken from infected wells, was a constant
 source of infection in the spread of typhoid fever. Manila in the past | has suffered from serious cholera epidemics, but the city has been free from cases for some time.

 ORCHESTRA OF cO-EDS

CINCINNATI, Dec. 26.-The Univer- sity of Cincinnati now boasts an or chestra composed entirely of co-eds. The organization is one of the re- suits of the "hobby hour" experiment which is being tried out at the uni versity. Class shcedules are so ar ranged that every student has one hour day which must be devoted to some hobby" preferably not in the same line of work followed in the regular classes and exercises.

Under the above captain, Edward B. Clark writes most interesting article under a Washington date-line. This article appeared in the issue of the Chicago Post, date November 6, on the first page. The article in full is as follows:
 Alaska, and what in business way might be called it's management, has been a subject of controversy in Congress for years. Something, all men here agree, must be done to make of Alaska what it should be, a rich, producing country of benefit to itself, its citizens and to the United States, which bought the territory from Russia, 55 years ago.
 The, Depastment of the Interior naturally is taking an active inter- est in Alaska. The Territory falls within the departments Jurisdiction. Alaska has lost in population and in many ways has gone backward, or at any rate seemingly so Last sum- mer Secretary of the Interior Fall sent Brig Gen. w. F. Richardson to Alaska to study conditions and to make a report thereon.
 General Richardson lived for 20 years in Alaska, where he was en- gagged in road building for the Gov ernment. He was and is an Army officer and during the fifth of a cen tury in the northern Territory he directed the construction of many hundreds of miles of wagon roads. When the country went to war Gen. eral Richardson went to, the front. Because of his record and of his knowledge of northern peoples, Gen eral Pershing chose him as the com manding officer of the American troops at Archangel, where this coun- try had trouble with certain elements of the Russians after peace had been declared through the armistice.
 What Richardson Said
 General Richardson has returned from Alaska. He will make a report in full on the conditions of the Ter ritory, but as capital and labor, and the people generally, are interested in what has been called "the land of suspicion" I asked General Rich ardson to tell something about things as he found them. He said:
 "The reasons for the present op- pressed conditions of trade and de- velopment in Alaska, with a decreas- ing population. have their origin as far back as 1906 or 1907 The Terri tory at that time probably had the largest population that it has had at any time since the movement of people to the north country began immediately following the discovery of the rich placer deposits in the Dawson country in 1896, and the dis covery of gold at Nome in 1898.
 About 16 years ago the Territory had reached the summit of produc-

tioin from the placer fields, the prin- cipal ones in addition to Nome being Fairbanks, Birch Creek, Ram part, Koyukuk, Ruby and Iditarod. The richest of these diggings were being rapidly worked out. This was the time when the Territory should have been given active support by the general government in it's effort for development, and with liberal in ducement to the individual prospector and homeseeker, in order to hold the population already in the Territory.
 'On the contrary there was spread through the country by means of an active and wellorganized propaganda an exaggerated impression of the wealth of Alaskan resources, espe- cially coal, and that these resources were about to be seized by unscru- pulous combinations of capital to the detriment of the people of Alaska and of the United States generally.
 Capital Is Discouraged
 Coal and timber were withdrawn from entry and regulations were is- sued by the executive department of such a character .as to discourage capital from entering these fields The result was that the population began to decline.
 ! s"In 1914 Congress passed a bill au- thorizing the construction in Alaska of a railroad from the coast to the navigable waters of the Interior river system under the impression that the building of such railroad would counteract the conditions referred to and attract people into the coun- try. This project was made possible through the enthusiasm of certain elements which favored government ownership backed up by well-or- ganized lobby.
 Anyone acquainted with the his tory of the Territory prior to the be- ginning of the building of this rail. road could not fail to see that the ! assertions concerning it's value in the way of development could not be fulfilled unless supported by some liberal concessions to capital and a systematic plan of colonization and | by the construction of wagon road | feeders to the railroad.
 Nothing for Road to Haul
 "The result is that today we have railroad with cost up to date oi about $56,O00,00O, with still dimin ishing population and with little ton mage in sight for the railroad to haul ] Tt is true that Alaska suffered much from the war. Certain low grade lode properties, as well as placer ground, could no longer be worked to advantage on account o1 the scarcity of labor, the high prices of food, and of materials for mining purposes Alaska received, on the other hand, no compensating benefit during the war from any industry

animal as a semi-pro. The
term is used for a type OF base

enough to draw a salary even
on a very minor club. yet too
