Death Rate Lower

March, in 1923. The figures are
exclusive of still births.
Death Rate Lower
The death rate, according to the
department of commerce, is lower for
the first quarter of 1924 than in
1928. For the first three months
of 1924 the average adjusted death
rate per 1000 people was 1875 as
compared with Is for the first three
months of 1928. Owing to differ
ences in the sex and age distribution
of the population, the crude death
rates of states are not always COM
parable. Therefore, for purposes of
comparison it is necessary, according
to the announcement, to use adjusted
rates based on what is known as the
standard million population. If the
ratios of the crude rates to the ad-
justed rates for 1920 be applied to
the 1924 quarterly rates, the nigh
est adjusted death rate for the first
quarter of 1924 is that shown for
Florida, 1876, and the lowest, that
for Montana, 8.3. Twenty-four
thousand nine hundred and twenty
two more deaths occurred in 1923
than in the first quarter of 1924. In
the first quarter of 1924 there were
1879 deaths in the United States
and in 1923 there were 177,72l.
In the first three months of this
year 1,206 people-392 in January,
433 in February and 381 in March
died in Montana, as compared to
!, 444-478 in January, 474 IN FEB
ruarv and 400 in March in the 1lrSt |
quarter of 1923. For the first
quarter of 1924 the crude average
death rates for deaths per l'Voo
people was TT, as compared with an
average rate Of 90 in 1928. Inc
adjusted death rate for the entire
year of 1923 was So, as compared
with an average of S.3 for the flrst
quarter of 1924.

A FTER leaving the Nortl
| - branch of the Platte river
- in 1868, we decided not t.
follow the regular route, but tc
take what was known as Lander's
Cutoff, which, as its name indi-
Gated, promised to shorten oui
Journey.
This road lead us northwest to-
ward the Wind River mountains
and into what we later realized was
a dangerous Indian country, al
though we saw no Indians until we
reached the Snake river, except a
dead one laid out in state on the
lower branches of a pine tree, in a
lonely mountain canyon.
Because we saw no Indians, ac-
cording to Jim Bridger, is pretty
good proof that they were all about
us. Ignorance of this fact contrib
uted greatly to our peace Of mind,
and we never dreamed of being at
tackled after we entererd the noun
tains. According to my recollec-
ton, we ceased having a guard at
night, as we no longer feared the
cattle would stampede. AS an IL
lustration of our carelessness,
large bear visited our camp one
night, passing close to couple of
men who were asleep on the ground
under a wagon; this they discov-
cred from the tracks on awakening
in the morning, and congratulated
themselves on what they thought
was narrow escape.
The Lander road, not having so
much travel as the main route, was
quite rough. Sometimes it follow
ed the rocky bed of a stream
sometimes it chung to mountain
side at such an angle that it was
necessary to stand on the hubs of
the wheels on the uphill side, to pre-
vent the wagons from being over
turned, and now and then we
reached the top of a foothill to find
The descent so precipitous that sew
sral yoke of oxen were hitched to
he rear of the wagons to ease their |
going down.
Although the road was rugged,

of Fremont's Peak. Pas ;
urage and water were generally

he nights were cool; a welcome
,hange from the heat we exper-
enced along the Platte.
Occasionally we camped by an al {
,ali stream. Then as precaution- 1
ny measure, the oxen were tied to
he wagons, and not permitted to
at or drink. The morning after !
