The house fly will also make his appearance and carry on his deadly work of poisoning the human race. According to the World's Work, the house N ew Y ork.— T h e m o s t a p p a llin g fly kills more human beings annually than are killed in battle. This m a r in e d is a s te r Ln h is to r y o c c u rre d magazine also estimates that each female insect’s possible progenity in S u n d a y n ig h t w h e n th e m a m m o th a season is 1.096.181,H20,720,000,000,000,000 flies, more than W h ite S t a r lin e r T ita n ic , th e l a r g e s t enough to make a mass measuring 268,778,165,861 cubic miles, or more v e s s e l a flo a t, c o llid e d w ith a n ic e b e rg off t h e N e w fo u n d la n d B a n k s a n d than the total mass of the earth. The only way to rid ourselves of this nuisance is to eliminate the S a n a w ith a p p r o x im a te ly 1200 o f h e r source from which these insects are bred. The pure-food commissioner j p a s s e n g e r s a n d c re w in lesB th a n fo u r of Idaho lays down the following rules, which would he well to follow: h o u r s a f t e r th e d is a s te r . “ S in k in g by t h e h e a d ; h a v e c le a r e d “ Sprinkle chloride of lime or kerosene over contents of privy vaults and garbage boxes.

B u t th e y w e re radiators, under stoves, etc. “ Allow no decaying matter of any sort to accumulate on or near to o la te . O n ly t h e C a r p a th ia a r riv e d in tim e . your premises.’’ g THE MODERN FACTORY. p RESIDENT IIOBMS of the National Association of Cotton Man- * ufadurers, says: “ The modern factory lias abolished the sweat shop; the regular life and hours have of necessity lessened dissipa tion: there can In1 no overcrowding from the very nature of the ma chinery; labor laws have greatly reduced the hours of work; all sorts of devices lessen hard labor; each new machine not only lessens labo.r hut enables men to earn their living in less time; it was the necessity of our mills that first made possible the development of humidifica tion and cooling of air which now gives comfort to the afflicted in our hospitals; libraries, rest rooms, lunch rooms and Y. M. C. A. rooms are found everywhere; a higher standard of living exists; the best sanitary and hygienic conditions known ¡ire found in the mills. It will he seen, therefore, that the modern factory life does not injure mentally, morally and physically those who are a part of it, hut that the contrary is true, and that the modern factory system has been instrumental in lifting the life of the people to a higher plane.” PORTLAND AND ALASKA TRADE. I T WILL HE seen by the recent, action of some of the leading mer- 1 chants of Portland in guaranteeing freight enough to insure a direct steamer from here to Alaska that we are beginning to wake up to the possibilities of that vast empire of wealth barely appreciated by those not familiar with conditions existing in the Northland. Port land, with its downhill haul, its large anil fertile farms, its sheep ranches, and other natural resources, cannot hope to keep abreast of the times unless it reaches out for trade beyond the seas. The history of other cities that have assumed gigantic proportions only serve to call our attention to the fact that we must put forth more effort to extend our trade into Alaska and other countries. It is to he hoped that this is only the beginning of an era that will develop a large and well-equipped line of steamers out of Port land direct to Alaska.
