"With coats off atul sleeves rolled
up we aio right here ready to pitch
into the ork on the Alaska Northern
rallro I" said Thomas M. Ward, as
sistant engineer in the construction
of the government railroad from Se
ward to the interior. On Northwest
en which arrives here before tomor
row night are Leslie Cramer, paymas
ter for the government, and B. Barn
dollar, auditor of all disbursements in
I ho work of construction. Both men
will make their headquarters in Se
j ward as will Mr. Kdes wlio will be
the last official to arrive and make up'
the full engineering force for the work
on this railroad out of Seward. Mr.
Ward did not desire to be quoted as
saying what bis beliefs are as to the
amount of work that will be done here.
When asked if it is not a fact, as
cabled from Washington, that the Al
aska Northern will be reconstructed
to Mile Forty five this summer and
that the rock work will be done In the
winter time, he stated that he could
not say, but he declared that the plans
are now being prepared.
Mr. Ward is one of the big en
gineers of the country judging t>y the
information given to the Gateway from
other ources. He was with Chairman
Edes on the Southern Pacific and was
constructing engineer of one of the
divisions on the Virginian ranroad.
Another member of the governemnt
force who lias just arrived is Oliver
G Tubby, chief draughtsman, who
comes from the Panama canal where
he was one of the construction engin
eers. He is one of the promment
members of ilie profession in tne Tini
ted States.
The chief facts to be elicited from
his conservation is that within a few
days the operations will begin on the
Alaska Northern and Sewara will
Jump to the front. He did not say
so much but what else can be taken
from his nemarks-—Seward Gateway.

PANAMA AFFFEGTEO
HOOKWORM DISEASE
PANAMA, May 28—The cabled re
port that sixty per cent of the popula
tion of the Republic of Panama bad
been found affected with the hook
worm disease by Dr. L. W. Hackett,
of the International Health Commis
sion of the Rockefeller Foundation, Is
interesting in other respects. The
report indicates that of the adult pop
ulation 67 per cent are affected while
of the children, practically 79 per cent
have the disease in a more or less
prounounced degree.
The report of I)r. Hackett is the re
sult of more than seven months In
vestigation in all parts of the country.
Ten thousand adults came under direct
examination.
“Routine examination of the blood,”
says the report, "showed that a large
majority of persons living in the in
terior of the republic are directly
anemic, the average blood being only
59 per cent of normal, indicating a
dangerous degree of lowered resist
ance. Since the parisite affects the
children most heavily, stunting their
bodies and minds and causing tnem to
fall an easy prey to other diseases,
the figures reveal an alarming condi
tion existing among the rising genera
tion. This state of physical debility
is due to the complete absence of all
sanitary equipment and regulation In
both school houses and dwellings In
the interior.”
The report shows that more than
3,000 homes were visited and instruc
tive talks given to nearly 12,00 per
sons. Lectures were given In 13
schools. Three laboratles are now
working In various parts of tne re
public.

SERVICE WORKS
ILL
The United States Public Health
Service, which has maintained a sani
tary service in Alaska for the past
three years, finds that the mortality
from communicable diseases in Alaska
is gradually falling. In the majority
of the settlements the teacher is the
only doctor, but medical officers of,
the public health service make fre-|
quent visits to the various communi
ties and teach both to the natives and
the whites the methods by which tub
erculosis, eye diseases, and other com
mon ailments are spread, and the
way in which they may be prevented.
This warfare against disease has
resulted in the abolition of the deadly
roller towel and the common drinking
cup by the natives, and this hygienic
reform has spread even as far as Point
Barrow, the most northerly point in
North America.
To those interested in public health
activities, it is of great interest‘to note
the progress made in promoting hy
giene and sanitation during recent
years til rough tout the civilized world.
In this respect our wards in Alaska,
the Indiuns and Eskimos, have not
been neglected.

BENEFICIAL RESULTS
TEMPERANCE IN RUSSIA
PETROORAD, May 28—A report on
the resudlts of compulsory temper
nnce. ns Introduced Into Russia R'nce
the results of the compulsory temper
prepared by Professor A. L. Mendel
son of the Russian Society for tne
Preservation of the National Health.
In the opinion of Prof. Menaelson, i
the beniflclal results of compulsory
temperance are not open to doubt. In
proof of his contention he cities the
reduction of alcoholic sickness In
Petrograd nnd of the attendance at
anti-alcoholic sanitariums, the de
cline in the number of cases of dipso
mania and alcholic insanity, ana also
of general mental affections. He
notes also a reduction of indirect mani
festations of alocholic sickness, of
traumatic injuries nnd suicides. For
example, from July to December there
were In 1913 ninety seven suicides,!
while in 1914 the total was reduced to
14.
Other results of temperance, says i
• lie Professor, were an Increase In*
savings banks deposits and a reduction
in the number of small loans made by1
the pawn shops. For the first two!
months of 1915 the savings banks of
Petrograd received deposlsts exceed
lug the figures of the corresponding
months a year ago by one-and a-half
million roubles, while throughout Rus
sia the deposits increased by a hun- ,
dhred million roubles.

PATENT IS DENIED
ILES PLACER CLAIMS
In the application of Ida F. M. Ilea.!
of Valdez, for patent to lode claim Ida
May and for placer claims Huckelber
ry and Salomon Kails has been denied.
The Genera! Land Office holds that no
discovery was made on the property,
no development work done and that!
claims were not located in good faith 1
as mineral claims, but were located'
because of the water rights.
The case has been in the courts
for many years. The immense water
power in Solomon basin crosses two
of the claims.

tive schools of Alaska, Is cognizant of
the urgent need of sanitation In the
native homes and villages in order to
check and eradicate the communicable
diseases, the effects of which have de
creased the native population 14 per
vent during the period 1900 to 1910,
according to the United States tiureau
of Census.
A part of the appropriation for edu
cation of the natives of Alaska Is be
ing expended for the maintenance of
three impovised hospitals. All schools
are provided with simple remedies and
a medical handbook of instructions.
Lectures on tuberculosis, eye dis
ease, ventilation, care of infants, pre
paration of food, and other subjects
pertaining to disease preventive meas
ures are delivered. These tatks are
supplemented by Individual Instruc
tions in the home.
Pamphlets on the cause, prevention,
and cure of tuberculosis have been is
sued to pupils throughout the school
service, and “How to Keep Well"
cards placed In the homes. Various
bulletins issued by the United States
Public Health Service on health sub
jects have been distributed to the Held
workers for their information and
guidance.
Paper towels and individual drinking
■us are being used in the schools in
place of the common articles and their
value explained to the children.
This campaign of warfare against
disease is showing results. The na
tices are being educated to hygienic
living, care be'ng taken not to includ
liviog, care being taken not to incul
cate the customs of the white man un
less they will bring about a better
ment of health and economic condi
tions.
