CHESHIRE TO GET
STATE JAIL FARM
Judge Peasley's Property
Proposed By Reforma-
tory Head

Property In Cheshire now owned
by former Superior Court Judge
Frederick M. Peasley, now state
referee, may be used as the site Of
the proposed state jail farm pro-
viding recommendation made yes
terday by Superintendent George G.
Erskine Of Cheshire reformatory Is
adopted. The state at the present
time holds an option on q consid-
cradle amount of the Peasley prop
erty which adjoins the reformatory.
The question Of establishing a CEN
trail jail arm will come before the
1887 session of the legislature
In the 1885 session special COM
mission decided upon a site In Glas-
tonbury as the logical site for the
central jail farm. The Jail farm bill
was turned down by the legislature
after q bitter fight and the option
on the Glastonbury land has since
elapsed.
Superintendent Erskine claims
that Cheshire is, geographically
speaking, In the center Of Connecti-
cut and would be the ideal spot for
the central Jail farm. He feels that
persons sentenced for a period of
more than 80 days Jail might be
adequately cared for on the farm If
1t was established in Cheshire.
No mention Of the Peasley owned
land on which the state has an OPP
ton was made by Superintendent
Erskine in his report to Governor
Wilbur L. Cross. The governor Is
behind the move for a central jail
farm but county officials throughout
the state are opposing the idea.

UNDULANT FEVER
SETS NEW RECORD
go Cases Reported in Con-
necticut During
Past Year

While undulant fever is definitely
q preventable disease by means of
milk pasteurization or the testing
of cattle, 1t has been steadily on the
rise in Connecticut since the FIRST
case was recognized in 1924. and
during the year 1886, 1t reached an
all-tirne high with 90 cases report
ed, DIR. Willard Knowlton, director
of the Bureau Of Preventable Dis
eases of the State Department OF
Health stated in the departments
weekly broadcast today. This COM
pares with only 10 cases Of typhoid
fever and 90 cases Of diphtheria.
Germ Discovered
Although undulant fever probably
existed many hundred years ago, 1t
was not until 20 years ago that an
American bacteriologist, Alice Evans,
discovered that the same germ
caused what was then known as
Malta fever In man and infectious
or contagious abortion In animals.
We now know, DR.. Knowlton said,
that man contracts the disease from
animals, and that In Connecticut
most cases are due to drinking raw
milk from infected cows. It Is es-
timated that about 20 per cent of
Connecticut's dairy cattle are in
fected with this germ and that these
cows are distributed In about rs
per cent Of the states dairy herds.
A healthy COW may be O carrier"
and discharge germs into her milk
without the dairyman knowing his
herd Is infected.
Prevention
There are two ways of preventing
this disease In man, the director
stated. The FIRST method Is to era
dictate the disease from animals by
means of q blood test to detect in
fected cattle and by removing them
from the herd. The other method Is
by pasteurization Of the milk. Pas
teurization means heating milk and
holding 1t at proper high tenn
perature long enough TO kill disease
germs, including those Of typhoid
fever, scarlet fever, septic sore
throat and other milk-borne dis
eases. The dairyman may choose
between the two procedures, and
the milk user may protect himself
by insisting upon milk that Is either
pasteurized or from an abortion free
herd.
DR.. Knowlton illustrated the value
Of pasteurization by two recent ex-
amples. One dairyman had been
required to pasteurized his milk af-
ter q case Of undulant fever had
been traced to his supply. but the
flood last March put his pasteuriza-
ton plant out Of commission. He
sold raw milk for q few days and
one Of his customers contracted un-
duiant fever. In the other case. q
Connecticut child who always drank
pasteurized milk at home visited
relatives In another state, drank
raw milk while there and developed
ta,is 6Assass which may last for
months or even years.

Assays for gold and silver, or for testing the fineneSs of mater ial will be made as the specimens are received. The determination of the base metals tin, antimony, tungsten, copper, etc, requires the preparation of chemical solu- tions which loose their accuracy in. a f2w weeks. For this reason the samples of base metals are allowed accumulate until there are a sufficient number to war rant the preparation of solutions. If you have any of these metals to be assayed bring them in as soon as possible inorder to get early returns.
 Age before beauty and baseball before mining is the schedule this year. The University of Alaska will give it's mining extension course right after the "Federals" take the series. To be safa let's change that to-"after the last game. A collection of mineral and rock specimens, as we'll as additional laboratory equipment, has be:n received. The schedule will be arranged to accomodate the largest number of those desir ing to take the course.
 The metal market last month was considerably disturbed by the sharp decline in securities. Producers moved to restrict pro- duction, but comparatively little metal was sold. Copper, lead, zinc, tin, quicksilver and platin- um were lover; tungsten and tn- imony remained about the same. As an example tin dropped from 58.975 cents per pound in Octo- Der to 5l.654 cents last month. Last year at the same time it was 44975. The Tin Committee announced, that unless conditions improve, production for the first quarter of 1888 would be reduc- ed twenty five percent.
 Although metal prices have dropped, activity in the base met al industry of the Philippines has besn increased considerably; this is due to the hosilities be- tween Japan and China. The pro- duction of coper, lead, chrome, and iron ores has been increased, wiht Japan contrating for a good share of the output

PIONEER ROOF GARDEN
 TO BE THE BIGGEST
 EVENT OF THE SEASON

Judging from the enthusiasm shown by the activities of the different committees and the whole-hearted support of Nome merchants and business houses in general, the 33rd annual Roof Garden of the Pioneer will go down in history as the biggest event of the year.
 The officially printed program which will be on the street the early part of the week will show a large number of entertaining and enjoyable features. The com mittee deserves a good deal of credit, and the entertainers, the thanks and appreciation of the public for their willingness to assist the Pioneers of Alaska to put over their great annual event.
 The general committee will meet again Sunday, (tomorrow), at 1 PM, at Odd Fellows Hall to receive reports and make further plans to meet the new demands.

Low pressure of diminishing intensity overlies the North Paci- fic ocean, causing snow, rain, sleet and fog from the Aleutians thru southeastern Alaska thence rain and fog thru southern California. High pressure predominates over northern Alaska and the interior of Canada with resulting fair and colder weather in those regions.

If you're feeling a bit pessimist ic about the price of m;tals, if you're worried that the rising prices of commodities will offset the $35 paid for an ounce of gold, then try and find some radium. The price for this element is now only $40 per milligram, which, is, roughly speaking, $36, ,288, ,000,- 000.0O per ton. Now let us suppose we put up a 100 ton mill which will handle $500 tons year. If this is run for only 10 years. it will handle 3,55O,O00 tons. As suming the price of radiun re- mains unchanged, there is gross of $12,882, ,24O, ,OOO, 900, ,0OO.OO (twel- ve thousand eight hundred eighty two trillion, two hundred forty billion dollars-very roughly speaking). Now either it's worth taking a chance prospecting for such returns Or there is something wrong with these figures.
