TYPHOID AT
CAMP, MILE 201
Occurrence of typhoid fever at a
camp north of Anchorage, an outbreak
of which has been predicted in that vi
cinity unless great care was taken to
i avoid use of polluted water, is com
mented upon in the following official
I warning by C. C. Benedict, M. 0., san
| itary officer for the commission.
“That which has been expected has
arrived. All summer we have tried
to impress upon everybody the im
portance of proper location of wells
i and toilets because of the danger that
exists on account of flies an dthe prob
ability that we will have a number ol
employees in various camps who havt
had typhoid fever at some time and
still are carrying the organisms ir.
their bodies, to he discharged and lat- j
er picked up and deposited on the fooM
by flies and then eaten by the well
men who will then have the disease
“That is the usual way in which
the disease is spread. Of course, it
may be spread through water but the
organisms must first be deposited in
the water and that is done by sew
age being thrown into the water sup
ply directly or because the toijet is]
located above the well and drains into
the well. It is absolutely necessary
to take these organisms into the di
gestive tract before you can get this
disease. After a person has been ill
with typhoid the organisms may con
tinue to live in the bowels for years.
Some cases have been proved to have
carried them as long as forty-seven
years, but it is commonly found that!
they will be carried for ten years.
Sometimes they will disappear within
six months after complete recovery.1
It is from these carriers and neglect
ed cases that we get more cases. If
every patient were properly treated
and the discharges properly disinfect
ed, there would be absolutely no more
typhoid fever in existence. When we
know the cause of a disease and its
method of spread as well as we know
this one, there is no excuse for its
existence but neglect.
“One thing that everybody can do
to help control it is to use every means
possible to exterminate the fly, as that
is the commonest means of spread.
All garbage should be destroyed im
MATANUSKA
LINE COMPLETE
The construction work on the Ma
tanuska branch has been practically
completed. Only one contractor, Har
ris & Co., remains. At the close of
the week of August 18th, the force
had been reduced to 28 employees.
The ditcher in the cut from Station
3344 to 3355 is within three or four
days of completing the work.
Track was laid from Station 271 f>
to 2832. The track gang is now en
gaged on back-spiking and full-tie
ing.
Extra gang Xo. 1 lifted track from
Station 935 to Station 845, and from
Station 11(55 to Station 118(5. Extra
rang Xo. 2 lifted track from Station
590 to (5(50. Extra gang Xo. 3 lifted

of this kind will prevent many cases

INJRANCE
SPOKANE, Aug. 25, (By Mail).—
A regiment of trained woodsmen be
tween the ages of 19 and 40 for early
service ill France is now being*re
cruited among the loggers and woods
men of Eastern Washington, North
ern Idaho and Western Montana, ac
cording to Boscoe Haines, supervisor
of the St. Joe National Forest. For
est supervisors have been authorized
to act as recruiting officers for the
proposed new regiment, and satisfact
ory progress in securing men is be
ing made, so that it is expected that
the full complement of recruits, six
companies of 164 men each, will be
secured within the next two weeks.
This regiment will be a part of the
American Engineering Corps, which
will aid in transportation and other
engineering work, and is being organ
ized because of the opportunity for
service by this country in doing work
incidentally to the war.
Henry S. Graves, chief of the U. S.
forest reserve, is now in Paris, hav
ing proceeded there under instructions
to learn on the ground in advance just
what conditions will need to be met.l
what equipment will be called for. and
how extensively the services of Amer
ican loggers and sawmill men can be
utilized to advantage.
Forester Graves has been granted a
leave of absence from his position at
the head of the forest service, and
has received the commission of ma
jor in the Reserve Engineer Corps.
For Early Service
One of the staff officers of the regi
ment, Captain Barrington Moore, is
with Mr. Graves for the purpose of
arranging for the prompt assumption
of the specific duties to which this
regiment will be assigned when it is
landed in France.
While organized on military linos,
the work of the regiment will he in
dustrial. not combatant. It will oper
ate in the woods behind the armies,
getting out timber, ties and lumber
required for military purposes. Part
of the work, however, may fall with- 4
in the danger zone.
The regiment will be made lip of
picked woodsmen. Service in it will
give such men a chance to take part
in ti e war for which their life and
training have peculiarly fitted them.
For the logging crews, skilled ax men.
sawyers, tie hewers, skidders, team
sters, and blacksmiths are wanted
Millwrights, sawyers and engineers
are needed to man portable sawmills
which will form a part of the equip
ment. Helpers are required for the
various activities connected with the
wood operations and the maintenance!
of large camps.
