Tho communicable disease rate in
any city is regulated TO very marked
extent BY the number of unsewered
houses contained therein. The official
records OF the past three years show
that your Health Department has
forced the connection of several hun
bred houses to the public sewers.
It would be hard indeed to place a
money valne on this kind of work, but
we do know that several hundred
houses have been made safe places in

THE LABORATORY
We made S57 tests in our labOra-
tory during April This is more than
our average number.
Outside of our work in making eX
aminations of various specimens for
the diagnosis Of disease, two of the
most important things we do IS our
testing of our city water and the milk
supply.
We make daily tests of our city
water. and carry each sample through
three special tests as required by the
standard methods Of the U. S. Public
Health Service.
We also check up our work from
time to time in our Government lab
oratOry at Washington. 1t will thus
be seen that we are keeping careful
watch over our water supply, which
need hardly say, is a most important
work.
As stated in another part of this
summary, our laboratory is also a
most important factor in guarding our
milk supply. Without our laboratory,
we would have to simply guess at
many things that we are now able to
determine beyond and question of
doubt.
In the special clinic during April
we treated SIS patients and gave
total of 1877 treatments. This plain
statement should convince any think
ing person of the Importance Of this
special work we are doing as pro-

of the fans and members of the

the opening game and that he will
pitch out the first ball to the teams

Throughout the season the games

why this league should not attract
large numbers of the real lovers Of
baseball because each team has a
fine collection of excellent players
and also has a large number Of
supporters Rivalry between the

according to rumors, no one team is

GENERAL REMARKS
On account of the advent of spring,
we were able to accomplish an extra
large amount Of general and special
sanitary work during the month of
April. Our regular spring and spec
ial inspection of all dairies, has been
nearly finished, also our general SAN
itary survey of the city.
While there is always room for I'M
provemcnt in even the best of cities,
yet, taken as a whole, / regard the
general conditions in Alexandria at
the present time as very fair.
The general health of the city is ex-
ira good.

 Strike and War Baby mines on Graz

 trict, was in Cordova Tuesday. MT.
 Budd is en route to Montreal, Can ada, sailing on the 8. s. Victoria. He
 states that the company has had a
 very satisfactory season, the gold
 production being up to expectations,
 the development carried on quite an
 extensive scale, has on the whole,
 been very encouraging
 The company's plans for the next year are on a still more extensive
 scale, additional stamps to be added
 to the Lucky Shot mill this winter,
 also a cyanide plant will be installed.
 Included in the Lucky Shot mine de- velopment, is a compressor, which has been installed to drive 93O foot cross cut, giving about 500 feet of backs below the upper level. The Lucky Shot mill will be operated dur ing the winter on gas engines. At the Gold Bullion mine, three headings will be carried one with two shifts throughout the winter.
 Patsy Hogan continues the War Baby
 drift on contract. A large tonnage
 of machinery and supplies will be moved from Houston to the mines this winter. | During Mr. Budd's absence, G. A. Ulsh will be in general charge of the companys business, while Sam Beck will act as general mechanical SUI perintendent, Lee Josnson, mine su- perintendent, of the Lucky Shot and War Baby mines and Wm. Holland mine superintendent of the Gold Bullion mine.
 The Willow creek mines company has been granted a permit from the Federal Power Commission for the
 development of a. hyaro-electric power site on Craggie creek. MT. Budd states that wire has been installed and surveys made, and that
 construction will be undertaken,
 should results from the extensive de-
 velopment work now under way war rant The power problem must be solved for any extensive plant in
 stallation, and Craggie creek hydro

 ible.

ALASKA MINING
 NOTES

R. B. Stevenson. who for the past eight months has been up in the kus- kokwim country, operating five-ton artillery tank for the Treadwell peo- pie, states that due to the bad weather and the poor condition of the roads the demonstration of the practicability of the tank as trac- tor was not as successful as might have been expected. However, he was able when conditions permitted, to haul eight or ten tons of ore in a load. He also freighted in a quantity of supplies with the tank, travelling a distnce of twelve miles,
 from Berry's landing to the property.
 He firmly believes that with the ad-

 c. w. Jackson, well known old timer and stampeder of Alaska, is back iE Anchorage again, after doubling on lis trail. Mir. Jackson let. there last May, going direct to the Caribou district, staying there only a short time. He ran across some ground there that still had stakes from sixty years ago. He says the ground in this district is fair for placer, but does not believe the diggings will be very extensive.
 The railroad runs to Williams lake, and taking the auto road from the lake to the diggings Is distance of about thirty miles. A few hy- draulic outfits are on the ground and a great many .prospectors are continually going and coming.
 From there MT. Jackson went to the Mayo district, where he stayed for six weeks. Three large com panies the Treadwell interest, the Slate creek operators and the Yukon Gold Company, are doing consider able development work on Keno hill, about forty miles from Mayo. It is the general opinion that no one konws for a certainty just how good this district will prove to be. Some say 1t has a chance to become the biggest mining district in the north.
 The Treadwell company has about eighty men employed; the Slate creek outfit has even more than this number and the Yukon Gold Com pany has about thirtyfive or forty employed. They are all sinking 35 degree shafts. The Yukon Gold is down 36O feet, and the Treadwell about 260 feet.
 {. The ore is hauled forty-five miles to the river, where it is loaded on boats and shipped out by way Of St. Michaels A year ago last summer, in the aggregate, approximately 2,2O0 tons of ore was taken out, averaging s2OO ton, producing net profit of S9O per ton The past summer the Yukon Gold Company shipped 3,2OO tons, and expect to take out at least 1000 tons this winter

SPOKANE ROBBERS
|. BLOW 80 VAULTS
SECURE 100000

Spokane, Wash, July "a
Burglars broke open eighty vaults
on six floors Of the Paulsen build
ing here Saturday night and stole
in excess of 100000. it was
learned this morning. This Is the
largest burglary ever committed
in Spokane, according to the po-
lice. They believe the robbery was
the work Of professionals.
Although vaults on each Of thu
six floors were equipped witt
different com binations, the burg
lars worked the combinations and
gained entrance without making
amy unusual noise or without
breaking a lock. Once inside the
vault, according to the police, the
individual compartments were
opened with passkeys.
The time of the robbery is
placed at Saturday night becRnse
an elevator operator went to the
building early yesterday morning
and found the tumblers In the
front door lock out Of place when
he attempted to insert his key. He
said he took his knife, straight
ened up the tumblers and opened
the door. He did not go into the
building where he would have dis
covered the robbery. he said.
It is believed the burglars began
their operations on the eleventh
floor OF the building, later OPEN
ing the vaults on the ninth,
eighth, fifth, fourth and third
floors.
The manager of the building
declared that the only master key
In existence is In the vaults OF the
Fidelity National bank. He said
this key was never taken out ex-
cept by Mr.. Paulsen, owner of the
building, or himself
The robbers escaped with bonds,
jewelry and cash, most Of the ten
ents Of the building being the VIC
tins. The Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance company was one
Of the heaviest losers, 1t was said,
although the extent Of its loss will
not be known until the manager
OF the company returns to the. city.

IS q. ARTED
100000 Suit Against
Growers Begins; Court
Rules Out Records OF
Previous Case.

Rehearing of the case of the
Phez company against the Salem
Fruit union and it's members in
which involves over
100 loganberry growers of this
vicinity and the sum Of approxi-
mately 100000 for alleged
breach Of contract in the delivery
Of berries to the plaintiff during
the years OF 1919. 1920 and 1921,
began In the circuit court this
morning before Judges George G..
Bingham and Percy Kelly, sitting
en- banc.
The court room was packed
with growers and the plaintiff be-
gan the case by calling witnesses
to establish the ability OF the
Phez company to pay for the ber-
ries during the years In which the
contract was in effect.
The important action of the
court, however, was the sustain
ing an objection of the defend
ants to the introduction Of the
record Of the previous hearing
into the present case. While at
torneys for the plaintiff held that
the growers were held by the de-
cree OF the court to the testimony
given in the previous case, the
court held that, as pointed out
by the attorneys for the growers,
that in the present case there
would be many growers who
would testify who had not been
