FACTS ABOUT
KANSAS‘ON THl
WATER WAGON
BY HON. ROYAL E. CABELL,
FORMER U. S. COMMISSIONER
OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
(Continued from yesterday.)
It is customary to lay great
stress on economic conditions in
Kansas, and special attention is di
rected to the alleged scarcity of
paupers in that State, the state
. ment being current that in thirty
; eight counties the poorhouses are
empty. Bulletin No. 120, issued by
the Census Bureau, shows the num
her of pauper? in almshouses in
i 1910. The lowest rate of pauper
ism was in Oklahoma, the rate be
ing 2.90 per hundred thousand, and
me highest rate was in New Hamp
shire, being 230.46 per hundred
thousand. The rate £pr New York
was 132; for Maine, 127.70; for
Illinois, 96'.28; for Nebraska, 4C.30,
end for Kansas, 43-49. Fourteen
States have a lower pauper rate
than has Kansas.
Bulletin No. 119, issued by the
United States Census Bureau, fur
nishes statistics with respect to
mental diseases, as indicated by the
number of insane in hospitals. The
lowest rate per hundred thousand
was in Oklahoma, 67.27; and the
highest rate was in Massachusetts.
34p.26. Twenty-four States of the
Union had a lower rate of insane
than had Kansas
As regards the number ’of in
sane with alcoholic psychosis ad
mitted to hospitals in 1910, we find
that Kansas can not come up with
the record of nineteen other States
Of these nineteen license prevails
in fourteen. Kansas had a rate of
4-41 per . 100,000 population. Her
neighbor, Nebraska, had a rate of
but 1-7. Maine, though she has
long tried prohibitory legislation,
had a rank just below Kansas, her
rate being 4-44. Among the license
States that surpassed Kansas were:
Pennsylvania, 4; Indiana, 27; Vir
ginia. 3.30; Florida, 3-5; Alabama.
4; Texas, 1.4, and Arkansas, 0.31
Bulletin 120 shows paupers in alms
houses on January 1, 1910; Kansas.
735; Nebraska, 551.
The facts about ghurch member
; ship are contained in United States
Census Bulletin No. 103, and the
percentage of church membership in
the total population is given for
the year 1906, twenty-six years af
ter Kansas become a prohibition
State- According to this tabulation,
which is the latest obtainable, the
lowest percentage of church mem
bership was in Oklahoma, including
Indian Territory, the rate being 18.2.
The rate in New York was 43.7;
in Pennsylvania, 43; in Illinois,
38.3; in Nebraska, 32-4; in Maine,
29-8, and in Kansas. 28-4. Forty
three States had a larger percent
age of church membership than had
Kansas- Since this tabulation was
made up twa_of the four States
that had a lower rate of church
membership than had Kansas, name
ly Oklahoma jnd West Virginia,
have joined the ranks of the pro
hibition States. Of the six States,
therefore, having the lowest rate of
church membership in the United
States, four are prohibition States

SEWARD WANTS HOSPITAL
Efforts are being made by local
physicians and others to secure a
marine hospital for Seward now
that it has been made a port of
entry, says the Seward Post
The plan to establish a marine
hospital here is endorsed by both
the Alaska Steamship company and
the Pacific Alaska Navigation com
pany.
The nearest marine hospital has
been located at Valdez, but the phy
sician holding the marine surgeon
appointment there died over a year
ago and nothing was done by the
government to continue the service
MYSTERIOUS DRILLING
ABOUT DOUGLAS TOWN
(Juneau Dispatch.)
DOUGLAS, May 18-—Drillers un
der contract continue their opera
tions in the city limits of Douglas
on mining property under bond, and
people are still speculating as to
the company behind them.
The guesses range all the way
from the Guggenheims to other
large mining combinations.
One fact is apparent and that is
that some company is mighty active
on properties along both sides of
Gastineau channel, and men are al
work in a number of places employ
| ed by local agents who are not ad
vertising their business from th<
housetops. Excellent progress is be
ing made by the drillers on this
side of the channel.

GOING TO JOIN THE
BRITISH FORCES
AND FURNISH MORE FOOD
FOR THE GERMAN
CANNONS.
(Wrangell Sentinel.)
A party of men of more than
usual interest were in WJrangell the
first of the week. They were Dou
gal McDonald, Jack Moran, Lloyd
Simpson and Thomas* Hankins, all
of Telegraph, and bound to join the
British forces at the front.
The boys were given a big fare
well reception at Telegraph on the
eve of their departure and have
many beautiful and useful tokens
from their friends there- During
their stay in Wrangell a purse was
subscribed and a small cub bear
was purchased and presented to the
boys who are taking it to the front
as a mascot for their company.
Mr. McDonald was a sergeant in
the British forces during tfie Boar
War, and as one of the odities of
life, during his stay here met Capt
Jungmarker, a Captain in the Boar
forces, and on comparing notes it
was found that Sergeant McDon
ald was among the forces which
captured the remainder of the com
pany of Capt. Jungmarker, only
nine men
The boys are all husky able sol
diers and is the kind of men that
England needs.' We wish you God
speed boys
KENAI LIME ON MARKET.
(Seward Post )
Lime from local kilns is now a
possibility. The first delivery of five
barrels will be made in a few days
from Mile 6 where the deposit of
lime stone, the existenec has been
known for some time, is now being
worked.
Claims were staked three months
ago on this lime stone ledge by
George Laughlin, Tom Hambright
and M. A. Martin- Martin, who is
assayer for the Harriman National
Bank, tested the lime and pronounc
ed it pure and a little company has
been formed- There is plenty of tim
ber on the claims to burn the lime.

BUILDING AT ANCHORAGE ON
INCREASE.
(Cook Inlet Pioneer.)
Great building activity has com
menced here in many parts of the
townsite
Capt. Lathrop has commenced
work on the Empress theatre build
ing which will also house the Bank
of Anchorage. This structure is to
cost $20,000 and will probably be
the finest motion picture house in
the territory.
H. T. Fowler and associates have
commenced work on two reinforced
concrete buildings, each of which
will be two stories high.
The Cook Inlet Pioneer has ad
ded an addition to its building suf
ficient to double the floor space and
is planning to issue an eight-page,
six-column daily beginning tomor
