SKATTI.i:, W.i-h.. July 21. In
speaking of (lie opening of (he Spo
knue. Coeiir d'Alene and Fliilhend In
diiiii reservations after the drawing,
which will be held next mouth, Fred
Dennett, commissioner of I lie general
land office at Washington, D. '.,
said hist night :
"The policy of the government is to
protect the bona fide settler as far as
iossible and to prevent the sM-eula-lor
from iiciptiring title to govern
ment lands without proper compli
ance with the law. Tim interests of
any community are injured by the
aciiiisitiou of land by persons who
do not intend to live t hereon. The
settler loses a neighbor, who would
otherwise aid him in building roads
and in tho establishment of school
dislrii'ts. and the merchant loses a
customer, who under all rights should
be on the laud, putting it to its best
nirHses."
No vacation for us. The
hot weather doesn't stop us

FLEAS ARE DENOUNCED
AS DISEASE CARRIERS
WASHINGTON. July 21). How
fleas as guests get mixed with re
sulting complexities in the spread of
infection iu this county is pointed out
iu a report received by the public
health service from former Assistant
Surgeon George W. McCoy and Mau
rice II. Mit.main of Sail Francisco,
As examples of the accidental dis
tribution of these insects the report
says that rat fleas have been found
on squirrels and squirrel fleas :
ruts. As both rats ami skiiiirrels
showing plague infection have hcci
found in California, the plaunc may
be carried from one of these rodents
to the other by means of fleas. All
these fleas readily feed on hiima:i
blood. The report says there is good
reason for suspecting that plngir;
among the ground squirrels iu Cali
fornia originated from plague among
rats through the migration of fleas.
Experiments made iu various ways
indicate that fleas from rodents will
adapt themselves to a host of differ
ent species. The investigations also
demonstrate that fleas from siiiirrel:t
will attack rats even iu the presence
of their usual hosts.

LOOKING DOWN YUKON AVENUE.
One of the most traveled highways of the Alaska-Yukon-Puciflc Ex
position will he the ctrcet to which has been given the name of Yukon
Avenue. Yukon Avenue makes its way across the exposition grounds
from west to east, and the enda are represented by Klondike Circle near
the entrance, und Nome Clrclo on which fronts the classic Forestry build
ing. It crosses the roaring CaKcades on oriental bridges of handsome
design, and from Its central part the buildings of Hawaii and Alaska,
.backed by the enormous federal structure, are directly to the north.
Just to the west of Klondike Circle the Pay Streak winds In a general
direction from north to Bouth, and at thc eastern end the land gives
way precipitously to the shores of Lake Washington. It is on this beau
tiful shore of the lake the natur.,1 ampltbeatre Is located, and nature has
so quaintly formed this delightful spot, that small effort has been re
quired of man to transform It Into as perfect an exhibition place as Is
possible. Its curving, sloping sides complete a seml-clrcle, and from Its
. tiers of towering seats 30,000 spectators may witness the entertainments
with no possibilities of occupying a single undesirable seat.
A wonderful variety of architectural display is shown by the many
buildings through which Yukon Avenue passes, and during Its course tho
visitor passes from man-made monuments through pnrts of magnificent
forests whose grandeur has never been marred by thc destructive craft
of Mammon's disciples. From every sldo the line or horizon is defined
by mountains whose lines me delineated In perpetual snow, and stretch
ing away as far as the eye run inivel rest the waters of Puget Sound,
