TYPHOID IN sTAMFoRD.
There Are Nearly Two Hundred Cases
 Well Water Very Foul.

l well NHter V cry " oui'
 Stamford, April 29.-Up to the present
 time there have been reported 1S4
 cases. Of these, 24 are only suspected
 of typhoid; in 160 cases the diagnosis
 is positive. Physicians report that IT
 used milk from Blackham, and 13 did
 not use it. Of the 13, took milk of
 various dealers (Blackha1n among
 then); bought from Enos E. Lock-
 wood which was in cans washed by
 Blackham 9 drank milk supplied by
 Hayes (not yet investigated), and l l got milk at Frey's bakery which was l supplied by BlackhaIn. Blackham
 obtained his milk from four dairymen- Enos B. Lockwood, J. B. and Charles l Hendrie, and Berdell of Long Ridge He purchased no milk from Berdell l previous to April 12, and as the first
 case of typhoid was reported April 15 it could not have been caused by Ber-
 dells milk. The investigation as to the source of contaglon, or the first case, is not fully completed.
 Dr. Prudden of New York, who has examined water from the Lockwood well, reports; "It contained on the average 2,126 living bacteria of various species to one cubic centimeter. Good, clean, properly constructed wells should not, if in use, contain large numbers of the bacteria. Their pres ence in as large numbers as this speci- men shows indicates that the water is contaminated. The samples of the water marked IT. j. B. show that on the average of two samples the number of living bacteria of various kinnA in one cubic centimeter is 6966O. This number of living germs would be reas- enable in sewer water or a cesspool but indicates in a well, which is being used, a gross contamination. The water examinations show such con dition as should not be tolerated under any circumstances in a civilized com munity and especially not in connec- tion With persons engaged in furnish ing milk supplies"
 The first death from typhoid fever since the disease became prevalent, oc- cured Friday afternoon. The victim was Bernard Greevy. He was thirty one years ola, and was one of the first stricken with the disease. Mrs. Greevy is seriously i'll with the same disease. l She Is the mother of a two weeks old child
 It is believed by physicians that the typhoid fever germs were first brought to this neighborhood by Italians em- ployed on the new tracks. During the past few weeks they have been at work in the section in which Blackham's dairy is situated There has been sick ness among them, and the disease can | be traced almost directly to their camp
 The cases under treatment are mild types of the fever. It is believed that l the epidemic is checked, and that those l who may die are suffering from some contributory cause as well.

 The United States, he said, does not undertake a protectorate over central America and South America to such an extent that a sovereign state of one or the other of these countries may ln- suit another sovereign nation with the expectation that this government VIII

THE CASCADE CANAL.

When the contract for the completion
of the locks was let The Dalles cele-
brated. We knew nothing of the con-
tractors, and had experienced so many
disappointments in respect to the i'm
provements at the Cascades, that many
still doubted the promised Fastening of
the work. But the contractors have
done as they said they were going to do,
push the work to a speedy completion.
There now seems no reason why boats
cannot pass through this winter.
Eastern Oregon and Eastern Wash
ington, and particularly those portions
adjacent to the middle Columbia,
should join in great celebration when
the work is done, and in the celebration
make Messrs. ]. 6. and 1. N. Day know
that we appreciate their zeal in carrying
on the work. We hope they will make
q fortune out of the contract; but il
they do, we think the people are still
under obligations to them.

UNCLE sAM coNHALEscENr.

There is great similarity between
financial and political disorders and the
physical ills of life. In the case of both
much is wholly imaginary, and for both
the real and imaginary the world is very
apt to take patent medicines. The
street fakir appears and has no trouble
in satisfying the people that they are
suffering from some disorder, and that
his wares are a sure cure, We swallow
the concoction in large doses quite as
often when there is no trouble as when
we are actually i'll, and in the former
case the supposed disease vanishes; in
the latter case it does no good, is dis
carded. and we finally return to a ply
sician, the worse for the experiments.
Our country has been little out of
order; there was congestion in some
parts, torpidity of other functions, an
obstruction in the circulation, and the
combination threatened to produce ner-
vous prostration. The patent medicine
man saw and appreciated the situation,
and being a opist-patent med
icine men are concerned only for the
health of the world-came to the front
with the cure. The owners of the great
silver mines declared that free coinage
was the sure cure, and HarV ey, the ad-
vertiser, diagnosed the case. confirmed
the silver men, sold his advertisements
by the thousand, made himself famous,
and, what is better, rich. The whole
country was interested, attracted and
temporarily convinced. But it is the
same old experience-the patient is re-
covering; not because of the dose, but
in spite of it, and what seemed a dis
ease, proves to be a slight disorder, re-
sulting from the nervous shock received
when the government went into the
hands of democracy. We are recover
ing, regardless of the silver question
before the change, which caused oul
nervous trouble, we are not in need OF
patent medicines. We can't make
money so fast, but we can learn econ
omy and harden our muscles by greater
effort; and perhaps when we are again
under a better management-when 8
republican congress makes our laws, anG
republican president executes them
we will be better off than though we hat
not had this unpleasant experience o
becoming suddenly poor.
Certain it is that the patient is con
valescent, and these patent medicine
chaps are losing trade. As soon as the
congestion is overcome and our func
tions are again in operation, we shal
rapidly recover, although it will require
another national election to put US en-
tirely on our feet again.

A Note of Warming.

The address of Justice Brown. of the
Yale law school, has been widely COM
mented upon throughout the country.
1t is considered an able, scholarly effort
of man who looks at things with a
candid eye. He sounds this note of
warning upon the indifference of the
American people to public affairs.
1.-THE activities of urban life are so in
tense, the pursuit of wealth or of pleas
ure 80 absorbing, as, upon the one hand,
to breed an Indifference to public affairs,
while, upon the other, the expenditures
are so large, the value of the franchises
at the disposal of the cities so great, and
the opportunities for illicit gain so mani
fold, thBt the municipal legislators,
whose standard of honesty is rarely
higher than the average of those who
elect them, fall an easy prey to the de-
signing and INSCRIPTIONS. Though l
am unwilling to believe that corporations
are solely responsible for our municipal
misgovernment, The fact remains that
bribery and corruption are so universal
as to threaten the very structure OF
society. Universal suffrage, which, ii
was confidently supposed, would inure
to the benefit of the poor man, is SC
skillfully manipulated as to rivet his
chains and secure to the rich man pre-
dominance in politics he has never en-
joyed under restricted system. Prob
ably in no country in the world is the
influence of wealth more potent than in
this, and in no period of our history has
it been more powerful than now."

FRUIT FOR LONDON.

California is very hopeful of finding a
market for her fruit in London. We
wish che could, and for every particle of
it. One of the disadvantages Oregon
fruit-raisers have had to contend with
has been, and 1s, the overproduction in
California, making competition in the
interior states disastrous to our shippers.
When the Nicaragua canal is built, San
Francisco can land its fruit in London
within two weeks, with no re-shipping.
When that can be done, Oregon shippers
will have no difficulty in finding a
market.

The wool situation remains un-
changed. A large amount is still being
received at the Wasco warehouse and
Moody,s At the latter place the new
baler was at work this morning COM
pressing lot of wool just brought by
Hecht and Leibmann. Three large
sacks, each weighing 400 pounds are
compressed into bale occupying one
half the space. This process is gone
through to get large saving in the
freight rate and delivering the wool in
Boston just as it comes from the grower.
In this way the grading is done in Bos-
ton instead of here. Mr.. Sherar's wool
was the first clip to be shipped in these
large bales.
