BUENOS AIRES.—Argentina and
Chile evidently have been drawn
closer together as the result of the
visit to this city of the special
Chilean embassy, which was com
posed of leading Chileans. A re
markably cordial reception was ac
corded to the visitors by the Argen
tine government.
The Chilean embassy came u>
Buenos Aires to participate in the
unveiling of a monument to the
Chilean hero, O’Higgins, on the
Chilean independence day, and the
Argentine newspapers have com
mented at great length on the mis
sion as cementing even more closely
the ties of friendship between Chile
and Argentina. In the eyes of for
eign residents this friendship is be
coming more and more one of com
mon opposition to the invasion of
foreign interests.
Senor Vial Solar, a prominent
Chilean, who was a member of the
embassy gave out an interview in
which he criticized the fact that
all the important Argentine railways
are foreign owne1' He said these
should be taken over by the Argen
tine government and that the gov
ernments of Argentina and Chile
should take over especially the
Transandine line, which is British
owned. The entire interview was
devoted to telling Argentina it
should stand on its own feet with
out foreign aid.
Persons close to President Iri
goyen say that Dr. Bulnes, head of
the Chilean envoys, talked to the
president along the same lines and
that a closer union between the two
republics was discussed with the
view of making them economically
independent of foreign nations, es
pecially Great Britain and the United
States.
Duing the visit of the Chileans,
President Irigoyen was almost prodi
gal in personal attentions to Dr.
Bulnes. Breaking a habit, hitherto
inveterate since his assumption tf
the government, the president at
tended the official banquet 'in honor
of the embassy at the Government
House, as also a luncheon given
at the national live stock exposition
by the authorities of the Argentine
Rural Soc:ety.
The German residents of Argen
tina and Chile have greatly praised
this obvious reapproachment of tho
two republics which, though close
neighbors and conventionally cordial,
had not been exceptionally good
friends in recent years.

QUARANTINE IS
10 BE ENFORCED !
VERY strictly;
A meeting of the quarantine com-!
mittee was held at the office of the
townsite manager last night for the
purpose of discussing the measures
taken and to pass on the accounts
for expenses incurred and for a gen
eral discussion of the situation, with
a view to the improvement of the
measures taken, if possible.
Those present at the meeting were '
Mrs. M. J. Sweeney, Dr. David More,
F. D. Browne, James Hagen, Oscar
Rothenburg, R. S. McDonald, Carl
Schmidt and H. B. Joseph.
Mr. Frederick D. Browne took the
chair and called the meeting to
order at 7:30 p. m. lie explained
the purpose of the meeting and in
vited suggestions and an open dis
cussion for the betterment of tho
measures adopted and for devising
ways and means for meeting the ex
penses of the quarantine. The prim
ary object of this meeting, however,
was to appoint an auditing committee
to go over the accounts and to keep
them in such shape so that they can'
be examined at any time by the
people of this district who are help
ing to pay part of the expense.
Mrs. Sweeney, Dr. More and Mr.
McDonald' were appointed a com
mittee to examine and pass on the
accounts rendered which represented
the expenses incurred up to December
first, in putting into effect the quar
antine measures taken. The meet
ing was adjourned temporarily to
give the auditing committee a chance
to examine and pass on the accounts
submitted.
The auditing committee having
finished the business entrusted to
them, the meeting was resumed.
The accounts showed that the
Alaskan Engineering commission had
incurred the sum of $2,587.54 in
labor, material, supplies, etc., in put
ting the quarantine into effect; this
amount includes the sum of $867
which the Alaskan Engineering com
mission is willing to stand as their
share of the expenses. The sum of j
$840 will be met from the assess- >
ment fund. There is a balance left
over from the revenue derived from
the sale of quarantine tags which is I
thought to be suficient to carry the
work on until the end of the present
month.
On the proposal of Mr. Browne,
it was unanimously agreed that a
complete statement be submitted
to the people of the district at a
mass meeting which will be called in
a few days, so that they will be
fully informed as to what is being
done for the protection of the com
munity from the epidemic.
The measures taken by the Terri
torial Health Board for the pro
tection of the Interior were discussed
and it was ascertained that to guard
against the possible introduction of
the disease via the Kobuk trail, a
quarantine station had been estab
lished on the mail trail between
the Koyukuk and Tanana, a few
miles out of the latter camp.
Mr. McDonald asked if a different
stand cannot be taken regarding
Fairbanks, as the quarantine against
the upper town has a direct bearing
on the mail service. After some
discussion bearing on the question,
it was decided that if the quarantine
measures were to be effective they
must be enforced against Fairbanks,
and on being put to the vote, it war
unanimously agreed that the present
quarantine against Fairbanks and the j
rest of Alaska will remain in force.
Regarding the mail service, Mr.
Browne told of steps he had taken
and a wire he had sent to the chief j
! clerk of the mail service with a i
jview ta its betterment. He thought
i that the poor mail service is due
to the fact that the postal authori
ties, who have not seen fit to let a
proper contract for carrying the

tract, with a penalty attached for its
non-fulfillment, would be let. It war.
felt that the safety of the community
was of paramount importance, the
mail matter being of secondary im
portance.
The motion to enforce a rigid
quarantine, which was unanimously
carried, was made by Mr. McDonald
and seconded by Mr. Hagan.
The meeting adjourned at about
9 o’clock. Due notice of the mass
meeting to be called will be given
later on.
