to view the new wall decorations on

should by all means see these new

is apt to result in regret later.

CHAMBER QF COMMERCE
HOLDS IMPORTANT MEETING
At the regular monthly meeting of
the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
last night that was only fairly attend
ed,.several important matters came up
foij discussion. It was decided to take
action on the telegram from the Alas
ka! bureau of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce in reference to the propos
ed! trip of the congressional party to
Alaska and Anchorage next summer, j
The secretary was instructed to wire j
Jhe secretary of the navy, urging that!
appropriate convoy be assigned
from the U. S. navy to accompany the
distinguished party that will be com
posed of the country’s law makers and
other prominent and influential pel'
1~. iTI.
sonages. The occasion for the trip is
in celebration of the semi-centennial
of the purchase of Alaska from the
Russian government and promises to
be quite an event for the coast towns
and this city will come in for a large
share of glory and publicity.
A nominating committee was ap
pointed to select candidates for the
various officers and executive commit
tee; election to be held in March.* Sec
retary A. S. Koch notified the meet
ing that he would not be a candidate
for re-election but no one else has as
yet been suggested to fill this import
ant office. It was voted to allow the
Anchorage Woman’s club the privi
lege of the club rooms for a meeting
place. Next regular meeting of the
Chamber will be held February 27th.

BACTERIA.
There is no branch of the medical
science that today is of more or as
much importance to the public in the
matter of prevention of epidemic dis
eases than that of bacteriology. In
fact, practically the whole plan of pre
ventive medicine revolves around the
isolation, identification and the growth
of certain bacteria.
There is no more interesting page
in history than that of the develop
ment of this science and a few ex
tracts therefrom show that in the
very beginning a certain linen draper
in Holland by name of Anthony von
Leeuwenhoek, who was interested in
this matter, using a crude lense saw
some very small objects in a drop of
rain water and following the study
further he saw similar objects in sea
water also and begin to think that
there was something more than mere
water there. He then examined intes
tinal contents and found similar ob
jects and called them “animalcules.”
This was in 1675.
In 1683 he scraped tartar from the
I teeth and found other small animal
cules in matter thus recovered. In
the latter part of this year he made a
report of his findings in the form of
a contribution to the Royal Society of
London, which created a great deal
of comment, most of which was ad
verse. That the bacteria possessed
motility is shown by what he says on
this subject, “With the greatest aston
ishment I observed that throughout
the material I was examining were
distributed animalcules of the most
microscopic dimensions which moved
themselves about in a remarkably en
ergetic way.” This fact is now one of
the means that we have of identifying
certain forms of bacteria that possess
otherwise similar characteristics.
It is noted that his observation
were seized upon with great avidity
as an explanation of the origin of cer
tain obscure diseases. It must be re
membered that at that time there
were not the researchers working that
1 there are today and anybody who
showed any promising explanation for
difficult problems was gladly received.
In 1762 Plenciz, a physician of Vi
enns, claimed that there was a certain
| organism for each disease, he having
i followed the lead of von Loeeuwen
i hoek, began doing some work along
| that line also. It is needless to say
that there were many “Doubting
Thomases” who were ready with their
opinions as to the sanity of Ihese men
and their “absurd hypotheses."
About this time attention was di
rected to the origin of these organ
isms, the first claim being made that'
they Were the result of “spontaneous
generation,” that they came from
nowhere. Others claimed that there
must be some form of multiplication,
among whom we find the familiar
names of Needham Spallanzani and
Schulze, this being in 1836, very little
having been accomplished in the long j
interval that had elapsed. During this
time some irregularities in the results
of the several workers led to some
wonder why it could be thus, and as
the only way they had of being sure
that there were any bacteria at all in
the material with which they were
working was as to whether any “de
composition” occurred, they supposed
that if there were any there there
should always be the decomposition
process. But this developed the fact
that different degrees of heat were
used, which led Bonnet finally to be
lieve that there were other objects
than merely bacteria, that there must
be “eggs” of some sort and that is the
first suggestion that we have that re
fers to the well known spores that we
now know figure so largely in develop
ment of bacteria. These spores have
the power to resist greater degrees of
temperature than any bacteria.
During the decades that followed
many were the steps in progress
which introduce the names of such
men as Billroth, Tiegel, Pasteur and
Klebs, all familiar in bacteriological
history, but we pass hurriedly to 1881
when Koch established beyond all
doubt the fact that some certain dis
eases are..due to specific organisms

_LOST AND FOUND.
Found—A ladies' sold watck Owner
may have same by calling at the Times

and that it is possible to isolate these
organisms in pure culture—to grow
them indefinitely and to produce at
will the disease in healthy animals by
inoculation and to recover the organ
ism from this animal, and to continue
at will the production of the disease
by inoculation from a diseased to a
healthy animal.
This ip practically what is known as
Koch's ^faw, the requirements of which
must be fulfilled before any organism
can be accepted as the true cause of a
disease.
The investigations of Koch stand as
a classic in bacteriology. His thor
oughness of application stamped him
as a true scientist and the abundant
harvest of original and important sug
gestions gathered from his work
marked the birth of the science. While
real progress was then measured by
decades it is now measured by years
because, the foundation has been laid
and proven and now progress is simp
ly a process of widening our knowl
edge and application of the facts to
everyday problems.,
We know now that there is no such
thing as “spontaneous generation” of
bacteria. We know that certain or
ganisms multiply in certain ways,
such as segmentation or fission. We
know that certain organisms produce
certain diseases. We know that these
organisms have certain powers of re
sistance to light, heat ana air, some
growing only without any air and oth
ers growing only in air. We know
that some have peculiar staining char
acteristics which help to identify them.
We know that a certain substance cal
led toxin is ptoduced, which is the real
poison, and that another substance
called anti-toxin is produced in the
body cells to protect itself against the
toxin and where this, is found to be
insufficient additional anti-toxin can
be injected into the vein or skin. We
now have methods of determining
whether a person is susceptible to a
disease, that is, whether they would
take it if exposed to that particular
disease. "V •"

FOLDS TENT,
Jepson, of wrestling notoriety, or
the notorious wrestler, like the Arab,
has folded his tent and silently sneak
ed away, leaving several unpaid bills
and unsatisfied creditors behind. It
was too bad that a clean sport like
Andy Martin should have gotten mix
ed up in the late unpleasant wrestling
deal nor does it help the sport for the
balance of the local wrestlers and
should be a severe lesson to the
sporting public.
Martin’s friends are staubch and
do not believe that he was mixed up
in the deal, nor do they credit Jep
son’s statements of the case. Jepson
made the sweeping assertion that he
would win over Martin, Peterson and
Viking Monday night but Young Vik
! ing was the only one to show up. Pe
terson knew nothing of the challenge
and Martin had previously made the
statement that he had retired from
the mat. Young Viking was ready to
go but Jepson stalled around and soon
left the hall and the match was de
clared off. While the fans glory in
Viking's spunk and believe in him to
the limit it was just as well that the
match went by the board and Jepson,
as a wrestler, will live only in mem
ory as bearing an unsavory reputa
tion.
