Established At Time That
United States Wrested
Texas from Mexico
WASHINGTON. D. C., Mar. 31 —
Adelaide, capital of South Australia,
where workers, going beyond the
government’s “white Australia” pol
icy, recently staged a protest in
criticism of the kind of white immi
grants who were arriving, is the sub
ject of the following bulletin from j
the National Geographic society.
“Adelaide’s pride in its citizenry j
probably has been a definite commu
nity feeling all along.” says the bulle
tin. “based on the fact that it was the
first Australian colony to bo started di
rectly from England with other than
convicts. The selection of a site
around the southeast corner of the
continent from the existing settle
ments and 600 miles westward along
the southern coast gave the new colo
nists an isolation that produced a j
marked individuality before railroads ;
came along to bind them back again j
as neighbors to New South Wales and I
Victoria.
“Americans can gauge Adelaide’s j
age by the fact that it was founded
while our own pioneers were forging
westward planting cities of their own.
it had its beginning in 1?37. the year in
which colonists in our southwest
wrested Texas from Mexico, in which
Arkansas became a state, and during
the period when St. Louis was making
its first marked growth under Ameri- '
can influence. To British ears its |
name, too, fixes its birth date, for it 1
was named for Queen Adelaide, con
sort of William IV, whose death in
1 ^37 placed Queen Victoria on the Bri
tish throne.
“Adelaide is the only city in Aus
tralia not directly on the cost. It was
established six miles up the Torrens
river from St. Vincent gulf. Almost
simultaneously, however, Port Adel
aide was built some six miles from the
city and seven or eight miles up the
coast from the river’s mouth. Connect
ed with the city, first by highways and
later by rail, the port is now practic
ally a part of Adelaide. The situation
is not unlike that of La- Angeles, also
established inland, which has built its
port on the nearest salt water; or like
that of Lima, Peru, which has its port
Calao, eight miles distant.
Many Parks.
“Adelaide is the third city in size in
Australia, being surpassed only by
Sydney and Melbourne. Its population
of about 2u0,00Q makes it comparable
to Portland, Oregon, or Denver. It is
well built and is particularly rich in
parks. One unique feature is the ring
ing round of the business,district by
a zone of park land beyond which lies
the residential sections. Wide streets
and substantial buildings, combined
with the parks, give Adelaide at once
the appearance of a thriving mart of
trade and a substantial home city.
“Adelaide owes much to its immedi
ate surroundings, it is set down in
a vale of plenty. The plain of Adel
aide which surrounds the city and ex
tends up and down the coast, is a lev
'with farms and gardens. Back of ihis
fifteen-mile strip, about seven or eight
miles from the city, rises the Mount
Lofty range of hills, affording excel
lent pasturage. The gentler slopes
are used for fruit growing and wine
production. In the rougher portions of
the hills many prosperous Adelaide
people have built summer homes.
“Parks do not stop with Adelaide’s
municipal limits. Numerous national
parks and reservation have been set
apart in the hills. Good highways con
nect them with the city and a ‘Govern
ment Tourist Bureau’ operates motor
busses to these pleasure spots making
them accessible for small fares. In the
other direction Adelaide lias a bevy
of seaside resorts within easy reach.’’

WONDERFUL STRIDES
IN MEDICAL SCIENCE
PLANNED FOR FUTURE
LONDON, March 30.—Twenty
live years hence tuberculosis will
be extermined in the British domin
ions, or be as uncommon as leprosy
is today, Dr, C. W. Saleeby. spokes
man for the London Medical Insti
tute, has declared. He predicts that
the greatest advance in medical
science will be the successful com
bating of tuberculosis, and cancer,
and the reduction of infant mortal
ity to almost nothing.
The last 25 years, Dr. Saleeby
says, has seen medical science de
velop more than in centuries before,
but he points out that this has been
brought about by very limited num
bers of medical men and scientists,
drawn largely from Germany, Aus
tria, and the United States. He be
lieves that today all the medical men
of the world are vitally interested in
perfecting the science of national
health and that the resuir of this
international ambition will be perfect
system of combating disease.
The latest methods used to prevent
tuberculosis have already provided
for a gradual decline in the number
ol tuberculosis victims for the iu
ture, ana, once neaun Olivers na\o
been able to stop the spread of the
disease, Dr. Saleeby believes it will
rank! A disappear.
The attack on cancer presents
greater difficulties and only the
most elementary steps have been
made so far toward combating it,
but Dr. Saleeby predie.s that anoth
er ten yearr will lied science in a
position to begin an international
movement To eradicate cancer.
Dr. Saleeby, who has been ihe
leading exponent of the campaign to
lower infant mortality in England,
has figures to show that the rado
in England and Wades has decieas
ed from one in seven in 39QG to 1
in It in 3923. He asserts that the
ratio will be about one in 22 when
the present methods of handling na
tal cases are in common use.

LONDON, March 30.—Baldwin an
nounced he contemplated creating a
committee, which will consider the

ROADHOUSE BURNS ON TRAIL
The Halfway roadhouse on the
Chatanika-Circle trail, was completely
destroyed by fire, according to a re
port from Fairbanks on the last train.
The establishment has been conduct
ed by Mr. Jesse Brown for the past
two winters. It was located 20
miles from Chatanika.
The blaze is thought to have been
caused by an overheated stove. Af
ter filling the heater with wood Mr.
Brown left for the barn. In a very
short time the building was envelop
ed by flames. Mr. Brown was un
able to save even his personal pos
sessions.
It is not believed that an attempt
will be made to rebuild this winter.
