ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1016.
FLY IS GREATEST MENACE TO HEALTH.
Dr. C. C. Benedict, health officer of Anchorage, is conduct
ing an aggressive campaign to improve the sanitary condi
tions of this town, and in this laudable work he is entitled to
the co-operation of all of our residents. The greatest menace
is the ordinary house fly, which carrie sabout with him an
amount of uncleanliness equal to two or three per cent of his
weight, and inoculation tests have proven that the fly carries
living, virulent tubercle bacilli.
If the average man were so unclean as that he would have
on his body about four pounds of filth. A cow or horse as
dirty as a fly would carry 20 to 25 pounds. The fly does not
weigh much, but it can harbor millions of disease-giving
germs. As a matter of fact, the dirt on a fly is about one-half
bacteria—bacteria of many kinds, large and small, thick and
thin, long and short. If out of its abundance of bacteria the
fly deposists a typhoid germ in a can of milk, there is every
likelihood that in a short time there will be enough typhoid
germs in that milk to make it a dangerous, frequently a fatal,
poison.
In the experiments in this subject conducted by the de
partment of agriculture a number of flies were caught and
washed in sterile, distilled water. Uncleanliness to the amount
of from two to three per cent of the flies’ weight settled at the
bottom of the tubes, and of this about half was bacteria. In
addition there remained in solution in the water enough dirt
to discolor it. The fly can and does carry the germs of tuber
culosis.
EVERYBODY ENJOYED THEMSELVES.
The residents of Anchorage and Cook Inlet celebrated the
Fourth of July in a manner that afforded them considerable
pleasure and amusement. An extensive program had been
provided, which started in the morning and continued until
late at night. All of the events were participated in by a num
ber of contestants and thoroughly enjoyed by the thousands
of people who cheered their favorites on to victory
The day was an ideal one and the weather man is deserv
ing of credit for the manner in which he carried out his part
of the program. Assisted by the committee in charge of ar
rangements, the celebration was a big success in every way.
Anchorage was crowded with visitors and although there
was a noticeable absence of fire crackers, the town was nicely
decorated and everybody had a good time.
POOR DEFENSE, EVEN OF A CRIPPLE.
The Daily Times has been making a campaign to have
the cableship Burnside stationed in Alaskan waters, ready
for duty, when the frequent interruptions in the government
cable service occur, and although it looks like a hopeless fight
there will be no let-up in our demand until the matter re
ceives the intelligent consideration it deserves.
In this movement we have solicited and received the sup
port of several United States senators, but there appears to
be such au ignorance of actual conditions in Alaska among
the ofcials at Washington that heroic measures will have to
be adopted in order to attain results. The fact that the cable
is antiquated and is continually breaking, thereby causing the
considerable annoyance and expense to the residents of Alas
ka, should be sufficient reason of itself why it is necessary to
have a repair ship close at hand.
Senator Chamberlain has taken up this matter with the
secretary of war, who is evidently not familiar writh the usual
long delay in the Burnside getting to the scene of the break in
the cable, as he says that an effort is always made to have the
vessel in readiness to proceed to the cable repair work within
a day or two after it is known that its services are required.
The effort may be made by the war department, but everybody
in Alaska knows that its fulfillment is never accomplished.
The interruptions frequently extend over a perior of from one
to two weeks before the Burnside sails for Alaska, and it is a
standing joke about the officers of the ship being detained in
Seattle in order to fulfill social engagements while the people
of the north are cut off from communication with the states.
The secretary of war’s explanation of the matter to Sena
tor Chamberlain is so in variance with the facts that it will
prove interesting to our readers and is herewith republished
in full:
“You are advised that the transport ‘Burnside,’ used
for repair and upkeep of the Alaskan cable, is maintained
in Puget sound for prompt use whenever the Alaskan
cable is interrupted, and *^s despatched on this work
promptly when required, unless undergoing repairs at a
shipyard at the time of cable interruption. In view of the
fact that no prior knowledge can be obtained as to when
an interruption may occur, and to the fact that repairs
must at some time be made to the vessel, it is not always
possible to avoid having the vessel at shipyard when the
cable interruption occurs, but every effort is made to have
the vessel in such condition as to proceed on its cable re
pair work within a day or two after it is known that its
services are required.”
It is the eternal spirit of unrest that pervades our city
which holds us back. Our people want a change from exist
ing conditions; they do not know why, but they want a change
anyhow. They are dissatisfied with the city government, the
schools, the churches, the city, the pecpl$, and probably also
dissatisfied with their newspaper. Changes1 cost, money apd
work great harm to communities as well as to a map’s business
Every change takes away a certain amount of m^ney, energy
and ambition. It is not well for a community to be so self-sat
isfied that it shirks its responsibilities and drifts; but on the
other hand, it is bad for a community to be constantly chang
ing its policies.—Valdez Prospector.
REACHING AFTER
ALASKA MS
It hasn’t been so very many years
ago but that it was considered be
neath the dignity of a banking bouse
to advertise and safe and conserva
tive banking houses of this country
did not consider that it was in keep
ing with good banking to appear be
fore the public through the columns
of a newspaper or magazine. Like
so many of the old-established cus
toms and traditions of those days the
idea has changed and in the business
world today it is considered not only
legitimate but good business.
The change has been of material
beneilt not only to the banking
houses but to the reading public and
the financial columns that now ap
pear in our leading periodicals and
newspapers has done much to stop
the sale of illegitimate stocks and
promotion of wild cat schemes.
Moreover every wideawake bank
hag seen the necessity of advertis
ing and this department in the larger
banks has reached a status where
no bank is complete without a well
organized advertising department.
This is as it should be for the
world at large, the small investor
and the reading public are entitled to
know and by this means may become
familiar wit hthe banking and finan
cial situation of this country.
The history of the banking busi
ness in the city of Seattle is unique
and the natives will ever “point with
pride” to the fact that the banking
housQ£ of that city have weathered
every financial crisis and safely gone
through the hard times of those
years when failure seemed certain.
The city of Seattle supports many
safe and conservative banking houses
and among them the name of the
German-American Mercantile bank is
the synonym of safeness, soundness
Qppiiritv
The people of Alaska count on Se
attle in time of need and never has
this city failed to respond and come
to our assistance and the existing
friendly and commercial spirit has
worked to their mutual benefit.
Naturally the business houses of
Seattle are reaching out. after Alas
ka trade and the people of Alaska
feel that they are entitled to Alaska
trade.
Commercial advertising has been
in vogue for many years but each
year sees additional prominence and
more original ideas until the adver
tising department of the business
houses has reached the magnitude
where it is a business within itself
Many of the Seattle business
houses realize the rapid development
of Anchorage and surrounding com
munity and The Daily Times takes
this opportunity of calling attention
to the cards and advertisements of
the German-American Mercantile
Bank, Cheasty’s Haberdashery, F. S.
Lang Manufacturing company, Fred
erick & Nelson, Chas. H. Mueller,
furrier, and Falkenburg & Laucks
Assayers, that appear in this paper.

ROAD COMMON
TO REPAIR TRAILS
John Zug, who 1b the field repre
sentative of the Alaska Road com
mission, was an arrival on the steam
ship Alaska. He will make an inves
tigation as to trail conditions in the
Willow creek and Cache creek dis
tricts, with a view to providing bet
ter transportation facilities for the
mine owners and prospectors of the
interior.
Mr. Zug will also look into the
mining and agricultural resources
that will be opened up by the govern
ment railroad In order to provide the
necessary trail feeders. He expects
to leave on -Wednesday’s train for
out the line, and the length of his
stay will depend upon the amount of
work he finds necessary to do.
Mr. Zirg will then return to An
chorage and leave for Iliamna bay,
but wil come back later and spend
the most of the summer in this sec
tion.
“The road commission fully ex
pects to receive an appropriation of
$500,000 from congress, but even
with this amount it will be impossi
ble to do any new work this season,”
said Mr. Zug. “There have been so
many demands for trails, in different
parts of the territory, during the
past several years that we were un
able to give attention on account
of a lack of funds, and now that an
increased appropriation is in sight
some new work will likely be done.
“It is the intention of the road
commission to make repairs this
summer to the trails on Willow creek
and Cache creek. After I have con
cluded my investigation any new
work needed along the railroad route
will be included in our estimate of
the appropriation asked at the next
session of congress.”

High Water Copper River Road.
The extremely warm weather for

VALDEZ, July 6.—Judge Brown
has just issued new regulations gov
erning the saloons of the third divi
sion. He says that in the future all
liquor sold and taken out of the sa
loons must be registered, together
with the name of the purchaser and
the amount he paid. The goods thus
sold are also open to inspection by
the marshal at all times and a failure
to comply with this order is grounds
for revoking a license. The court
also rules that a license is for retail
only and not for distribution beyond
the immediate vicinity; that liquor
must not be sold to be taken to An
chorage or other dry towns and any
attempt to evade the spirit of the
regulations is grounds for the re
vocation of the license.

pf ore has been found on Reed creek
by Ira and Charlie IsaacB, two of the
best hard rock men and prospectors
in Alaska. The new strike was made
on the extension of the Mable mine
and is about four miles east of the
Alaska and Free Gold 'and the Inde
pendence mines. The boys have
three valuable claims staked and
have stripped the ledge for about
200 feet and the rock shows free
sold and pans rich.
The Isaacs boys came over to An

are stopping at the Wbjte House.
They will take in the opening of the

work upon their return and from the
present showing it is only a question
of a short time until the Isaacs mine
will be numbered among the other
big gold producers of the famous
Willow creek district.

FORMER ALASKAN
GOES 10 THE PEN
The many Anchorage friends of
James McCoy, who was arrested at
Seward, will be sorry to learn that
he has been found guilty of embez
zlement, as the following story pub
lished in the Boise, Idaho, Capital
News shows:
James McCoy has been sentenced
to tiie state penitent ary for the em
bezzlement of $5,000 from Ira
Brackett, of Twin Falls. He was
given an indeterminate term of from
one to fourteen years. Judge Bab
cock, of the Fourth judicial district
court, passed sentence.
The case grew out of a mining
deal between the complaining wit
ness and the defendant. Both were
interested in the Jarbridge-Altitude
mine, held under a lease with two
other partners. Mr. Brackett alleged
that he furnished McCoy $5,000 with
which the latter was to secure for
him the controlling interest in the
corporation tiiat held the ground and
an extension of the lease. In rais
ing this money certain loans were
secured from banks in this county,
the notes being signed by both Mr.
Brackett and McCoy. The defense
set up the claim of partnership,
under which no claim of embezzle
ment would stick. The defense also
introduced a letter, purporting to
have been written by Mr. Brackett to
Mr. McCoy in June, 1B14, approving
operations of the latter in his nego
tions, while in the east endeavoring
to carry out Mr. Brackett’s commis
sion, and supporting the claim of
partnership. The state claimed the
letter a forgery and sought to prove
the signature to be an imitation of
Mr. Brackett’s name on some papers
at that time in the possession of the
defendant.
Another Crazy at Naknek.
A message from Deputy Marshal
Fusman at Naknek, Bristol Bay, to
the marshal’s ottieo at Valdez, states
that another insane prisoner is in
custody there. The prisoner is an
Italian, and is reported as violently
insane. This is the fifth insane per
son taken into custody by Marshal
Fursman since the cannery season
opened at that place.
Phil McGuire’s Boat Found.
About a year ago Phil McGuire
started from Delta for McCarty in a
small boat. He disappeared and
nothing was ever heard of him. Dur
ing the last few days, while coming
down the Tanana river, between
Richard and Delta, William Eisen
minger found his boat in a battered
condition. There was enough left,
however, to make the boat recogniz
able.
When he left in his poling boat
last summer McGuire sent some
grub with an outfit ahead to Mc
Carty with a freighter. His prop
erty has remained there ever since,
his friends hoping that he would
turn up for it some time. Now,
however, with the finding of the
boat all hope is gone.—Fairbanks
