NEW SECTION OF
PACIFIC HIGHWAY
The state highway unit from Duns
mutr to Sims, a distance of thirteen
, miles, has been completed. by the con
l tractor, G. W; Conners, though the
road will not be accepted by the
state hightway commission until after
a winter's rains have tested out the
fills and drains. The contract price
for the thirteen miles was $160,000,
states the Siskiyou News.
, To this sum must be added the
cost of three bridges across Castle,
Flume and Mears creeks $15,000.
' Fills at the approaches .- to these
bridges will have to be constructed
by tlio contractor who built the high
way unit, but tli is will be a small job.
It is now possible to travel from
Dunsniuir io Redding by automobile.
For several weeks cars had to be
shipped between these two - points.
This condition, however, is likely io
be upset by the first heavy rains. " A
tourist made the trip from Dunsmulr
to Redding the other day in four
hours and twenty minutes."
Fitzpatrkk has not finished his
contract between Lamotue and Pol
lock, the bridge crossing of the Sac
ramento, but this part of the road is
passable anyway.
It is safe to predict that early in
the spring the state highway between
Redding and Dunsmuir will be in
fine condition and will be opened
permanently."
Corners has been eighteen months
on the Dunsmuir-Sims unit. -

CALAMITY,
PARTIAL reports from American lift insurance cutn
panics printed by the Now York Journal of C'oni
merce show the deaths from influenza of policy holders in
the three mont hs of October, November and ieeember,
1918, to exceed 120,0(X). Claims against the insurance
companies had hecn filed for ip52,(MX)',(XK) and full returns
for the three months arc expected to show a loss of. 20U,
000 lives aiijl 100,000,000 in claims.
The number of persons in the .United States .insured
was in 3917, about 11,500,000 or oulv about one to everv
ten of the population and the unexpected call is gen
erally speaking, being promptly met by the companies. As"
the losses .during I the succeeding throe months promise
to be as heavy as those quoted an idea is thus afforded of
the ravages of the plague which is nothing less than a
national calamity. . i i:', ; -
Sporadic and spasmodic efforts to' control influenza
are largely responsible for its continued spread. If the
policy of isolation and quarantine had been rigidly en
forced, as it is for far less deadly diseases, the epidemic
would long since have been tinder control but the desire
"not to hurt business" has caused the loss of thousands of
lives and a terrible tribute in human' suffering hud sorrow.
Portland offers an illustration of the futility of the
methods following in stamping out the disease. From
October 1 to December ,'U, there were ll.GTUJ eases of in
fluenza reported and 844 deaths. Restrictions were re
moved for the holiday season to "help the Christmas
trade" though there were few days when fewer than 100
new cases and eight to ten deaths were reported In fact
a study of statistics shows there, never has been alct-up in
the .epidemic, though there, have been intervals, duo
mainly to climatic conditions, when the eases fell below
the average but nothing to justify a lifting of the buxi.
Xow that' nearly a thousand victims have beeu sent to
the cemeteries and the daily rcjMirt of new cases is again
ncaring the maximum, Portland has awakened to tho iiecd
of action but as the papers announced "the Christmas
trade broke all" records." - .

APPLE EXPORTERS
ALLOWED TO SELL
FRUIT BY WEIGHT
E. A. HcKeaney. local representa
tive of Dennis, Kimball & Pops, has
received notice from Wm. Dennis &
Sons, Ltd., of London, that in future
the British consignees to whom
American apples are shipped, will be
allowed to sell by weight at the max
imum price of six pence per lb. when
the average of tho parcel exceeds
130 lbs. on barrels and 3S-lbs. on
boxes. - '.
This is a big and much needed re
form in the British government's
regulation for the selling of Amer
ican apples. Formerly the exporter
had to be content, when he sold a
box, with getting the maximum price
on 38 lbs. of fruit, regardless of the
actual net' weight of the fruit. As a
matter of fact boxes, as packed in
the northwest, contain considerably
over 38 lbs. net of fruit from 40 as
high as 44 lbs. The only gainer was
the retailer who bought a box on the
basis of 38 lbs. and paid for 38 lbs.
only and bad the difference between
33 lbs. and the actual quantity of the
fruit contained as clear velvet some
times getting as much as fire or six
lbs. of fruit for ncthing.
This was, of course, a scandalous
Injustice and worked manifestly to
tbe great detriment of the American
shipper. It was something that the
British government should have cor
rected in the very first instance. But
it is to be presumed that philosophy
will Bay: j'Better late than never."
In any case American exporters owe
a meed of thanks to their British
connections whose energy and persis
tence have forced the government to
make this. belated reform. ...
