There IL ore phase Of the once which

brings the health offlcer into contact with
tie poor and ignorant-makinE very

people are not ignorant. bat they are sensi-

health officer Is often compelled TO tempo

Win Ignorance. SdAlth4y laws must DC
vigorously enforced. and most vigorously
enforced in places where they are usually
ignored or deiled. This calls for tact and

OF the Law without exhibition OF arbitrary
tyranny.
A health officer Is not necessarily a social
scayenger whose duty it Is TO drag 10 the
light of publicity all he suspects 1t Is his
duty to see that the law Is enforced so that
the health OF ths community is not put
IN jeopardy. but much must be left 10 his

PUGET SOUND FIR COMMENDED.

GAINESVILLE, o., Jan. 10, 1897.
To the Editor: l had just been looking
over your mammoth issue OF January g..
and afterwards picked UP copy of the
Cincinnati Commercial and noticed an ar
ticle stating that the Pittsburg a. Cincin-
natl Packet Company had contracted with
the Cincinnati Marine Company for one
of the finest steamers ever built at Cincin-
natl, and one of the stipulations was that
the hull should be built of Oregon FIR.
wrote TO Capt. J. f. Ellison, superintend-
ent at Cincinnati, and asked him IL the FIR
was from Oregon or from the Puget sound
country, and toa1y I received his reply, as
follows:
The fir lumber for construction OF our
new steamer Queen City is from the state
of Washington. In my opinion this lumber
is destined very shortly 10 substitute our
native oak in the construction of our boats
on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. II is
now nearly as cheap as oak and very much
lighter which Is always a great factor
with us. Any one being acquainted with
navigation on the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers will at once recognize the Importance
OF light, strong lumber in the construction
OF steamers TO navigate these streams"
thought thsabove information might be
of some interest TO your readers. Yours
very truly. JAMES d. HOGE, SIX.
