Out Living.

Middletown, x. Y, Dec. 23.-The Rev. George Wright, formerly pas tor of the Methodist church at Bloomington, near here, has been appointed janitor of the Union school at that place.

The former jan itor, it is said, did not understand the workings of the system.

IRELAND OPENLY
 DEF|ES BRITAIN Refuses to Accept English View
 on Irish Treaty WANTS IT REGISTERED
Great Britain Has Notified League of Nations Pact Was Not Susceptible to Registration-Frec state Sends Reply to Geneva.

Geneva, Dec, 23.--The Irish Free State unequiyocally defed Great Britain today when in a note to the league of nations It declared 1t was unable to accept the British conten- tion that the Anglo Irish treaty of 1921 was not susceptible to registra- ton with the league.
 After the Dublin government had registered this treaty with the league, Great Britain wrote the sec- retariat saying that neither the league covenant nor any convention concluded under the auspices of the league were intended to govern the relations between the various parts of the British commonwealth. The communication also declared that article Is of the covenant, which regulates the recording of all trea- ties, was not applicable to the An glo-Irish agreement.
 Reply Is Firm
 The reply, which Is moderate but firm in tone, declares that the gov- ernment of the Irish Free State can- not see that any useful purpose will be served by the initiation of a con- troversy as to the intentions of any individual signatory of the covenant. It continues:
 The obligations contained In ar ticle IS are. in their expression, inn posed In most specific terms upon every member of the league. The Irish Free State is unable to accept the contention that the clear and un- equlvocal regulations of that article are susceptible Of any interpretation compatible with the limitations which the British government now seeks to read into them. We &C., cordingly dissent from the point of view expressed by the British gov ernmcnt that the terms of article IS are not applicable to the treaty of Dec. $, 1921"
 Issue Is Ended
 The Irish note ends the controv- ersy, so far as the league is con- cerned, because neither the British nor Irish governments has request ed any more league action, It is pointed out here that If the Dublin government had wished to make au international issue of the affair 1t might have demanded an interpreta- ton of the Hague worlds court of justice on the league status Of the Irish treaty as an international con- ycntion, Q point of view which Great Britain declines to accept.
 The registration of treaties at the league, however, comes under the supervision of the worlds, court and 1t evident that the Dublin govern mcnt, by its communication today, insists on its right to appeal to the court at any time the terms of the treaty may be brought into question.

DR. WOISARD BANS
 PUBLIC MEETINGS
Bristol Health Officer FaVors Abandoning Dances and Socials
tiS SCARLET FEVER CASES
22 Other Residents Under Suspicion Handling Of Toys and Blowing of Horns in Stores Means of Spreading Disease.

Action toward the establishment of an isolation hospital in this city is being seriously considered. Nu- merous requests have been made in the last few years in the annual health board reports and the need of such an institution has been eyi- denced by the present scarlet fever spread. Neighboring cities, which have accepted cases from this city, have refused to take any more be- cause Of lack Of space and efforts of the health authorities to stamp out the epidemic may be delayed somewhat, The local hospital has no ward in which 10 offer aid and the health board must get along as best 1t may.
 Announcement was made today by Health Officer Joseph l. Woisard that the checkup on the situation showed total Of 113 cases and 22 suspected cases. The latte- are un- der observation and If ,the cultures, sent to the state laboratory return positive. the regular scarlet fever quarantine sign will be placed on the homes. In the case of suspects, special sign has been placed on the houses as a warning to the people.
 Ban On Public Gatherings
 Recommendation was made today by Dr. Woisard that all forms of contact be avoided as possible. To this end, he recommended tha. dances be called off and other gath erings in public places. The handling of toys in stores, blowing of horns in the business places where such articles are sold and like forms of contact should be stopped. The ma ady is being checked 50 that the epidemic is considered in its sec- ondary stage, according to the health officer.
 pr. Woisard and Dr. P. r. Knowl- ton of the state board of health feel gratified over the manner in which the efforts to combat the epidemic are working out. Every possible suspect Is being routed out, thereby swelling the list but assuring the city at large of further protection as the proper measures are taken as soon as a case is Discovered. The con- cealment of cases will mean seri- ous drawback to the health officials, according 10 statements, which have been issued from the health board offices.
 The two school nurses, Misses Mary r. Mulligan and Eugenia Nor ton, are working faithfully and have contributed no mean share to the success of the health departments efforts. Through their work, fol- lowup system has been put Into op- eration, relieving conditions for the patients and physicians alike.
 Boys Club Closed
 The gymnasium at the Boys club was closed last night until further notice by Superintendent James d. Dobson to cooperate with Health Officer Joseph l. Woisard. The Christmas parties at the club have been called off but the reading room at the club will remain open as usual. In addition, Superintendent Dobson will conduct an edutlonaI campaign among the boys to enlist their efforts n the reporting Of any suspicious cases of illness about the city. thereby assisting the health de- partment In keeping close check on all cases,

Concluding a highly success full first season of operation, the Porter-Idaho mine, oper- ated by the Porter-Idaho Sym dicate, closed down Saturday for the winter period. The out put for the season, aggregated about 175 tons of high grade ore of which about 50 tons are still at the Marmot river land ing awaiting transportation to the Selby smelter at San Fran cisco. The gross value of the output is not definitely de- termined, as returns have been received from only one of the shipments made during the summer. This gave returns of $175 per ton, the ore averAg- ing 260 oz. in silver valued at approximately $l6O, with the remainder of the values made up of gold and lead, the latter averaging 13 per cent. Owing to a delay of over a month in the completion of the pack trail, the seasonal output was about 100 tons below expecE ations.
 Operations commenced March 20 and continued uninterrupt- edly throughout the season, a crew of from 2 to 10 men being employed. About 450 feet of tunnel and crosscut was driv- en during the season. No at

ROWLAND GROUP TO
 WORK THRU WINTER

Arthur Moa and associates, operating on the John How land properties on Fish Creek, expect to carry on the present program of development work throughout the winter. Their new camp has been complet- ed, with comfortable accom- modationS for a good sized crew, and snow sheds are in course of erection to facilitate winter activities.
 Work is also continuing on the tunnel from Skookum Creek, in addition to surface prospecting on the various promising showings. A crew of six men is employed at present. Winter work will be devoted to opening up the main ore body, preparatory to placing the property on a shipping basis.
 Mir. Moa and his associates, most of whom are Ketchikan people, are the kind who do things. Without noise or de- sire for publicity, they are go- ing ahead in a business-like manner to open their prop erty and place it on a paying basis. And like the owners of the Riverside, Porter-Idaho and other properties, they are asking no one for anything. With a few more outfits like this and the others mentioned at work, the country would undoubtedly witness a great CT degree of development in a year or two than has occurred in all the previous history of the camp.

PORTER-IDAHO CONCLUDES
 SUCCESSFUL FIRST SEASON

tempt was made to handle the large quantities of milling ore
 broken down; the expense of packing to tide water over difficult trails being too great With better transportation facilities this ore can be prof. |itably handled. During the earlier stages of operation the ore was sent to the Tacoma smelter but as the latter con- |cern was unable to handle the large lead values, later Equipments were sent to San
 Francisco.
 In statement to the Herald,
 MT. Clay Porter, managing di- rector, said it is the intention to change the syndicate to q corporation during the winter.
 Details of the new organizat-
 ion have not been fully work ed out as yet and no announce ments can be made regarding the contemplations in that di- rection. Mir. Porter stated that operations will be resumed about April 1, and as most of the initial difficulties have been overcome to a great ex- tent, next years development will be conducted on an en- larged scale. MT. Porter in- tends to remain in Hyder dur ing most of the winter.

The big bore will extend approximately 1400 feet into the mountain when completed and is expected to tap four large ore zones at a depth of about 500 feet below the out crops. The tunnel will also cut several intermediate veins, all of which are of considerable dimensions on the surface. Ac- cording to present contemplat- ions work on the tunnel will be continued throughout the winter. The company also ex poets to ship a quantity of high grade ore from the earl fer workings this fall.

WANTON CAME
 KILLING CHARGED

Unwarranted killing of bear, mink and seagulls along Sal mon River in the vicinity of Fish Creek is complained of by parties from that section. From the information at hand it appears that some one re- gently shot one of the small,
 harmless black bear which range the Salmon valley, for no apparent reason except a desire to kill. One party also reports seeing the shot mang- led carcass of a fine large mink left by some thought less hunter. Seagulls wantonly killed by hunters are also re- ported lying along the banks of Fish Creek. Wanton de- struction of harmless wild animal life is to be deplored at all times. The slaughter of the tame and friendly black bear of the valley is a shame under any conditions. The kill ling of mink out of season is banned by the law and those who do so are subject to severe penalties. The gulls are scav- engers and of more benefit to humanity than otherwise and their destruction is to be con- demned under all conditions.

HOMESTAKE OWNERS
 PLAN TO SHIP HIGH GRADE NEXT SUMMER

James H. Hewitt, associate of Chas. Carlson in the prom ising Homestake properties on Texas Creek, arrived in town Monday and reports that Carl- son and himself have decided, owing to the lateness of the season, to discontinue work on the high grade ore body encountered on the Homestake some time ago and which promises to develop into a first class shipping proposit- ion with further development. The partners are working at present on the Ibex No.7, a new addition to the Ibex group located last spring, and on which a fine surface showing cakrying hik,h values in ar4 gentite and steel galena was found some time ago. The lead is from a foot to three feet across and assays recent ly taken across the widest width showed values of $60 per ton, of which $5 was gold, silver 8 oz. and the balance lead. Better ore is found in the lead, MT. Hewitt states, and in places there is15 inches of solid galena. The property is about 2,O00 feet in an air line from the new government pack trail, but approximately a mile of trail will have to be built to link up with the main trail. The partners contem- plate doing this next spring, preparatory to shipping ore, of which they have a large amount on the surface of the 1bex properties running from 5 140 to 5 150 per ton.
 At present the partners are doing open cut work, on the Ibex 2, which will be con- tinued until the snow stops operations.
