Vaccination Order Amid Smallpox Threat in Rossland
The Rossland Board of Health issues a proclamation mandating immediate vaccination to curb a smallpox outbreak in Washington and nearby states. Incoming mail is quarantined, opened bags fumigated for 18 days, and most eastern and western Canadian mail now arrives via Canada Pacific. An isolated hospital has been built, no smallpox cases yet, and strict quarantine remains for southbound passengers. The town plans a meeting Wednesday to back a 10,000 troop offer for South Africa and to boost Rossland’s war effort. Ore shipments for the week ending February 1 exceed the average, with Le Roi and Centre Star contributing heavily. January totals are estimated at 2 tons with value around 439,776.
