How the l aldez
Delegates l oted
All the delegates from Seward to
the Republican divisional convention
at V aldez voted to endorse \t icker
sham except L. L. James, Sam Mc
Donald and Ed. Whittemore. The
two former had given instructions
that their proxies were to be voted
against Wickersham, and Bill Henry
voted them as instructed although Mr.
Henry was the mart who presented
the resolution to endorse the present
delegate. Jack Finnegan, as might
be expected, was one of the chief i p
ponents of the Wickersham people.
He opposed the resolution fiercely and
also opposed several Other matter's
which came up during the convention,
all the time being apparently in the
position of a sort of representative for
this division of the majority that rul
ed the territorial convention here in
Seward. With respect to Ed. VVhitte
more’s vote it is interesting to note
that he did not vote himself. He had
given his proxie to Ritchie of Valdez
and Ktchie voted this proxie against
Wickersham. The resolution endors
ing Wickersham was moved only after
the real business of the convention
had been transacted. It is stated by
those who were there that Ritchie of
fered Whittemore the liberty of cast
ing his ow n vote on this particular
question but Mr. Whittemore declin
ed. Finnegan later got up ami asked
it to be placed on record that Whitte
more declared that if he had east his
own vote he would have voted to on
1 dorse Wicker sham. Ail tins is rather
interesting as show ing several things,
it shews how men hopelessly spot at
the territorial convention were bed
j fellows ut tho divisional convention
and vice versa. It also shows how
I men to whom the name ot VVicker
j sham has been anathema can throw
their arms around his neck all same
i prodigal sons.
The following is the account ot the
proceedings of the last day of the
convention, taken from the Valdez
Prospector:
The Republican division convention
has convened, finished its work and
; adjourned sine die.
Following the adjournment yester
day morning the various committees
got busy and when the convention
was again culled to order at ~ p. in.
everything was in readiness to pro
ceed with the business at hand and
, at 4:30 the convention was a thing of
the past.

of C.oorge C. Hazelet. F. F. Ritchie,

THE MOSQUITO THAT
HELPED RUIN ROME
ES STILL AFTER YOU
By SAMUEL G. DIXON, M. D.
(Penn. Commissioner of Health)
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
Malaria is said to have hastened tin*
downfall of Rome.
The mosquitoes which transmitted
it were more deadly to the inhabitants
of the Imperial city than their bar
barian enemies. Much also has been
written of similar injury to Greece in
, yet earlier times.
At least two diseases are carried by
certain species of mosquitoes: malaria
and yellow fever. All species are dis
agreeable pests.
Have you unwittingly permitted
mosquitoes to breed about your house i
or grounds? Even one old tomato
can half tilled by the spring rains
makes an ideal breeding ground. It
is surprising how many hidden pools
one can find around a place if you
really go on a hunt.
Not infrequently drain pipes be
come clogged and then tin roofs and
gutt ers afford an unsuspected breed
ing place for thousands of mosquitoes.
Communities that suffer from these
posts should co-operate to campaign
effectively against them.
Even the smallest adjacent pools
should be tilled up or ditched and
drained. If these arc too large to be
tilled they should be treated with
petroleum. This floats atop the water j
; and kills the mosquito larvae by shut
ting off the atmosphere. When the
wind causes a movement of the water
which breaks up the oil coating it
| must be re-oiled. Swamps can be
‘ similarly treated.
A survey should he made of all;
premises. Rain water barrels should
be covered. Tin cans or discarded
vessels or rubbish piles should be pe r
forated, smashed flat or buried.
