SHARP PRAcrcE.-A great deal of
anxiety is felt by many on account of

in buying and contracting for logs.
Some are downhearted on account of
the large quantity of lumber at Priest
Point. That need alarm M one. The
mill owners Will not purchase more than
they are forced to, till after the assess
ment roll is made out. They would
rather the loggers would pay the taxes
than do 1t themselves. In less than six

palnl Indicates that this dread disease
is 10y no m ans confined 10 the Pacific
Slope. From the B,l murr Surge0n and
IhySictdH, we quote the following:
"From the best sources we can learn,
dphthcra is more ot Il sporadic than II
contagious disease Nearly all diseases
can he made epidemic 10y bud vrn,ila
Ion, crowded tenrnrnts, insufficient
food and clothing and general want of
Ielnlinrss."
To this might be added crowded
cities, Imperfect sewerage, stugnunt
po"ls OF water, uncIcaned streets, decay.
lng vegetable or animal matter, dlssipl.
ton and undue exposure Of any kind.
The Boston NedicaL and Suyyicm JDh1.
nat remarks: The popular idea is that
dphtlcriu is a contagious disease. This
is not so. The disease cannot be COM
municatGd hy the clothing II contact.
Tue atmosphere and the surroundings
must br favorable and the condition OF
the patients must also bc favorable to
contract the disease or they will escape :;
and If these causes are tavOrbly com.
bIhed, then they will hardly escape
Some neighbOrhOods are more affected
than otllerc, while many places escape
entirely. This latter TACT alone ought to
convince all that the disease is sporadic
and not contagious
In the same article the writer says,
"All cases 0t sore throat are not diph.
liberia. Group, and acCute bronchitis,
even when they as~llm" the membrsnous
form, are located on different respiratory
organs, and have to receive different
treatment. The great reason why this
disease (dlphtheria) is so fatal among
infants md small children, is owing to
the difficulty of applying topical treat
mrnt.n
The following from the London Lancet
speaks mere positively still: "Diphthe.
ria appears at present tn he prevalent all
over the world IN ceytdia localities. The
tact that it misses mem bers of the same
family, sklps houses and streets, whole
towns and villages even, to appear in
Others, without any undue exposure or
assignahle cause, ought to convince the
profession that it is non. contagious
disease"
The last number of Breathpdite's Ret.
respect says, "If diphthera is really con.
tagious, as some eminent in the proies.
sion contend, why are not all the ply.
sicians, nurses, mothers who hold the
little ones in their laps and the little
children OF tender age who often crowd
around the cradle t. fondle, kiss, and
inhale the breath of the dying, all swept
away into common grave"
A writer in the Pdcifc Medical and
Surgical Journal, some time ago, de-
Clared, that, though diphtheria was
bud enough; yet it was not half so for
Mdable as acute membranous bron-
chitis."
We see also that the weekly report of
the health officer of San Francisco, sns-
tains this opinion. There IS less diph-
liberia in the country than is popularly
claimed. True, Group, membranous
bronchitis, tonsilitis, and several other
respiratory diseases resemble diphtheria.
But they are all of sufficient diversity to
require different treatment. In fact, no
two cases of diphtheria, even, can be
treated precisely alike.

On the Skykomish there are now four
camps, on the main river between here
and the forks there aie two, on the Sno

that lands its logs in town, There is

town. There are also five more camps
on the river and sloughs below town,
making in all twenty.one logging camps
all of which will land their logs at Priest
Point this season. With the camps OPP

Norway carry in their fishing boats water

They iInmerse one end in the water, and then,
looking intently through the glass, they are
enabled to perceive objects ten or fifteen faith
the surface. Hence, when they discover plcn-
ty Of fish they surround them with their large
draught nets, and often catch them by hum
dreds at single haul, which, were it not for
these telescopes, would often prove precarious
and Improbable fishing. This instrument is
not only used by the fishermen, but it is also
found in the navy and coasting vessels.
