IN MIDST OF HERD OF
 CARIBOU WITH CANOE

Major w. A. Steel and Lieut.. H. E. Taber, of the Dominion radio service. and Dawson Dewitt, operator at Stewart City for the Dominion tele- graph service, who arrived in Daw- son last evening from Stewart City, had an exciting experience in a ca noe midst big band of caribou when near Excelsior creek, above 0gilyie, night before last. The cari- bou first were seen along the foot of a high, steep bank, at the edge of the main river. AS the canoe ap- proached the caribou scattered up and down the shore, and took to the river and soon afterward were swim ming the river and were all around the canoe. As the animals took the shore opposite the bluff one was shot and the carcass afterward was dragged ashore and dressed and cached there. and can be secured later. The caribou were met late in the evening, and the light was not favorable for photography. otherwise a fine picture might have been se- cured with kodak which the party carried. The voyageurs describe the sight of the magnificent animals along the shore and all about the ca noe as wonderful. and one seldom witnessed by anyone under similar conditions.
 The caribou are a part of the inn mense band of thousands cruising the woods westward and southward from Dawson. Last Saturday at about six o'clock in the evening a large band of them appeared on the bank of the Yukon at Sunnydale, op- posite Klondike City and within plain view of Dawson, and it is un- derstood several of the animals were shot at the time.-Dawson News.

WHALE KILLING TO REDUCE
 THE COST OF FOX FOOD

Dr. w. W.Council. the we'll known surgeon of Cordova, is having a
 whale boat constructed for the pur-
 pose of reducing the high cost of liy- | ing for his foxes on Green Island, near Latouche.
 The boat will be only 26 feet in length and six feet four inches beam. The depth from the combing to the
 keel is three feet nine inches. Three harpoon guns will be carried, one 0! them being mounted on the bow One hundred and eighty fathoms O rope will be attached to each hag poon.
 A seventy horsepower Scripps mo tor capable of making 25 knots al hour will be installed and later or
 will be replaced by 100-h. D. mote. which will develop a speed of miles an hour. and thus keep pae with any wounded whale.
 These motors are constructed b.
 the Scripps Motor Co.,, Detroit. Mich The contractor is Mir Tom Coch- ran at one time an old resident o. Sitka, and who in his youth spen; many a day on a whaling boat and
 tells some thrilling stories abou' riding on the backs of whales ir Arctic waters. The writer is in debted to MT. Cochran for a very pleasant interview and for the abovt
 information.
 It is the object of Dr. Council tc secure enough whales to supply hi foxes with good food. whale aver aging about eighty tons.
 He has had offers for all the I whales he can catch at one thousand dollars each, but the Doctor says h. l will be able to tell more about it al ter the first whale is caught A | his whale boat will be manned b. two men only, fast launch will b. l in readiness to render assistance Several prominent business men arI very anxious to make the first trip Those who are interested with Dr Council on Green Island are Ed Pike Harry O'Neill J. Lydick, Link Waln and J. B. Carlyle. Over six hundred foxes are estim-ted to be there ant three filters have nineteen pups one litter containing twelve. The chief expense has been the cost oi the food to feed this number 0. foxes. but all feel confident that their troubles will be over-aftel the first whale is caught.

mosquito is the only mosquito that
bites. The male mosquito feeds
on fruit juices and other related
material The female mosquito
must have its blood meal before it
can again lay eggs.
How can we prevent malaria
and dengue? Either by controll-
ing the mostquito and eradicating it
or by keeping the well person
where he will not be bitten by
the mosquito. We can also keel
the mosquito away from the person
sick with a disease transmitted by
the mosquito, or from a person, al
though appearing perfectly well
who may be carrying the germ of
malaria around in his system.
ITO control the mosquito we
must destroy its breeding places,
or in other words, destroy or treat
by some method all standing water
within a certain radius of any com
munity or rural home. The ma
laria mosquito lays its eggs in
ponds, swamps, slowly running
streams; the dengue fever mosquito
lays its eggs in artificial contain
ers around houses, such as pals,
tubs, bottles, tin cans, and any 9th
er container that holds water for
a period of II to IA days. Mos
quitoes also breed in cutters tina
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-08-24

hold water, in septic tanks, or in
any other such container.
ITO protect the well person from
mosquito we must properly screen
our houses. Doors must be screen
ed with wire properly built so they
will not sag or warp; windows
should be entirely screened from
top to bottom; fire places should
be screened during tne summer
months; also any other opening
whereby mosquitoes can get into the
house. No screening should be
used which has opening greater
than 16 to the inch This is called
IS mesh screen. Most stores sell
IL mesh screening. This size is
not of any use or value whatever
and you only waste your monc5 in
purchasing the same.
''In areas such as ponds which
cannot be ditched, a certain type
of fish can be used. These are seen
in many waters throughout the
state. They are the small top-min-
now seen swimming about among
grass and weeds hunting for the
"wigglers." The protection OF
these fish should be encouraged, as
without them malaria and mosqui
toes would be very much more
prevalent.

GA. BOY SCOUTS to-
HAVE MOSQUITO WEEK.
Period From Aug. 20 to Sept.
Set Aside For Educational
Health Work

ATLANTA, Aug. 24.-During
the week of August 20 to Septem-
Der l the Boy Scouts of Georgia
will observe an Educational Mos
quito Week" in cooperation with
the State Board of Health Discuss
ing this week today, DR.. H. C.
Woodfan, director of the sanitary
engineering division Of the board
said that during the year 1922
there were 584 deaths reported
from malarial. This represented,
at a very minimum figure, an eco
nomic loss of over $1,500,OO0 dur
ing that year. If your commun-
ity suffers much from malaria,
you can readily say that this d.
sease is not only retarding your
city's growth and development, bit
that it is a greater Public Health
Problem than any two or three
other diseases combined.
I'VE know, today. that malaria
is caused only by the bite Of a GER
tain type of mosquito. You do
not contract this disease by drink
ing bad water, by eating any kind
of food, or by breathing in filthy
doors. Associated with this disease
is another, Dengue Fever, which
was so prevalent in certain sec
tons of our State during the fall
of 1922. This disease also is only
caused by the bite of certain +
type of mosquito, which mosquito
differs in many respects from the
type that causes malaria.
Mosquitoes never breed in tall |
grass or shrubbery if water is not
present. They, however, hide in
these places during the day because
it is damp and cool. The female
