Notice to Parents.
To the Editor of the Prospector,
Dear Sir: In view of the epidemic
of chickenpox in town I would sug
gest that parents examine their chil
dren for a skin eruption daily and if
present to not permit them to play
with other childreu. Chickenpox is
probably the least dangerous of con
tagious diseases but I would advise
that children so infected be kept from
school until the last scab has disap
peared.

PROSPECTORS TAKEN
TO NEW DISTRICTS
The Yukon government has given
official notice by advertisement in the
Dawson News and the Weekly News
that the government is prepared to
assist prospectors to get to the head
waters of outlying streams in the ter
ritory. The notice is over the name
of A. P. Englehardt, territorial sec
retary, and reads as follows:
“Prospectors desiring transporta
tion to head of navigation on tribu
taries of Yukon river are requested
to communicate their names, ad
dresses and proposed destination to
the commissioner.
“The foregoing arrangement is in
accordance with the policy laid down
by the government to aid prospectors
get into distant parts of the territory
with hopes that they make new dis
coveries of mineral, and thus aid in
the general development of the terri
tory. In previous years similar as
tance has been given to boats going
up the Pelly and other streams reach
ing remote localities.
“It is understood that several have ;
submitted their names and that pos- |
sibly a party will be leaving soon for I
Pelly or McMillan, and possibly some
for other side streams. The commis
sioner is receiving the names of those
wishing to go.’’

DUMBA SAILS
FOR HIS HOME
His Sailing was Delayed as President
Wilson Insisted Upon Formal
Recall by Vienna.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—Ambassador
Dumba, of Austria, sailed for Vienna
on a vessel leaving New York Tues
day night, and it is hoped that his
departure will mark the close of the
controversy which has resulted from
his activities in attempting to restrict
the output of the American munition
factories.
The am >assador had engaged pas
sage on a vessel leaving New York on
September 28, but was forced to .de
lay his sailing as President Wilson
refused to guarantee his safe trans
portation through the European war
zone until the formal recall had been
received from Vienna.
Thousands of Germans and Aus
trians were at the pier to cheer the
Austrian representative when the
steamer sailed, and although repre
sentatives of tue press were insistent
that he make some statement he re
fused to be interviewed, merely de
claring that so far as he was con
cerned the incident would be closed
after he had made his report to his
government.

FAMOUS AUTO RACER
IS KILLED AT FRESNO.
FRESNO, Oct. 7.—Don Francis, the
famous auto race driver, who car
ried off the honors here last year in
the century race, was instantly kill
ed here today while racing before an
immense crowd at the district fair
now being held. The machine was
traveling at a terrific rate when it
left the track and turned turtle, pin
ning the driver under the car. Scores
of women who witnessed the tragedy
fainted when it was seen that the
driver had been killed. It is believed
that the accident was due to the steer
ing gear having failed or a momen
tary abstraction of Francis by the
spectators.
Killed by Falling Trees.
George Krazin, who was killed last
week by a falling tree near Anchor
age, is the fifth man to be killed on
the government railroad project. Of
the five two were killed at Anchor
age by falling trees, one was drown
ed and two were drowned on the
Fairbanks end of the trail.
End of Lucille Love.
Series 13, 14, 15, a total of 6 reels
will be run at the Liberty theatre,
