Death Rate In Alaska Is 357 Per lOO,OOO

According to figures recently released by Dr. w. w. Council Territorial Health Commissioner 215 people in the Territory of of Alaska died last year from tuberculosis and this disease ac- counted for about 25Go of the deaths from all causes in the Territory during this period.
 In regard to this condition, Dr. Council said. " It is impossible to over-emphasize the importance of tuberculosis control in Alaska. This disease is the leading cause of deaths in the Territory, the death rate being 357 per 100000 compared with 49 per 100000 in the United States. 367 new cases of this disease were reported dur ing 1888 and of course there are llldily lllOl0 CdSSS III "lllSll tllC disease is either unsuspected or the victims live in isolated com munities which are without reg ular medical services.
 Among the chief needs of the Territory at the present time are Sanatoria for the care of the new cases of tuberculosis which are constantly being discovered by privated physicians and the tu- berculin testing and the early case finding clinics conducted by the Territorial Department of Health. Except for the limited number of beds available in the Government Hospitals there are no facilities for the treatment of this disease in the Territory. Al the present time the Department of Public Welafre is taking care of 25 cases in Sanatoria in the States but there are many more cases which they are unable to handle and for which facilities for treatment should be avail able"

From Treasure Island-2700 miles distant by airWave-the voices of Miss Alaska and Miss Fairbanks" greeted all the northland Thursday night.
 Highpoint of a day on the man made pleasure island which prot Sourdoughs from all states of the union fiocking to the Golden Gate International Exposition, a short-Wave broadcast carried the messages of Miss Irene Reenstrom Miss Jane Gordon and scores of others to chums and cronies from ,Ketchikan to Point Barrow.

 Miss Alaska" then performed Chamber of Commerce chores by her description of the Alaska strawberries as ''monstrous" and of dimensions of inflated foot balls.
 No words can express how much I am enjoying the exposi- tion," she said. "As for the illum inations-I am speeches.. 1 shall stay as long as I can"
 Harris announced weekly Al aska Mailbag" program will soon be inaugurated by the station KGEI, which will give Outsiders opportunity publicly to address old acquaintances in the Terri tory.
 As a sample, the announcer brought to the microphone nu- merous oldtimers who were pres ent in the control room to utter messages to friends in the north.
 Among them Weres
 Mrs. Birsig of Nome, who said hello to her sister, Carrie Me Lain and the McLain children.
