Should Be Looked After.

Physicians who practice in the
vicinity of Dufur and Kingsley report
the prevalence of scarlet fever in a
diDhtheritic form in that section, and
pronounce it nearly, if not quite as
contagious and fatal as diphtheria. II
their diagnosis of the disease is COR
rect. certainly some steps should ne
taken to prevent its spreading. Quar-
antine measures should be Instituted,
and persons from the Infected region
should be prevented from visiting
other localities. 1t would not be
amis for the officials of The Dalles to
examine into the matter, and if it is as
reported, prevent persons from that
section coming into the city until the
contagion subsidies.

WILL STAY IN CUBA.
The Army at Santiago Will Have to Re-

The Army at Santiago Will have to Re.
main there Until Free From Fever
A Washington special to the New
York Times says:
TO the question, "What is to be
done with General Skaters Fifth
corps. now at antiago?" the heads of
the war administration can find but
one answer. That is to keep it in Cuba
until every yestige of yellow fever is
stamped ont of it. 1t can be stated
poslti vely that there is no intention
of bringing the troops back to this
country at the present time. The
authorities here believe that it would
be dangerous to run the risk of spread
ing the fever broadcast throughout
this country by bringing the men back
here so long as the pest is among them.
And it is agreed that the best place to
fight the disease is right where they
are now. Adjutant General Corbin,
when asked what it was proposed to
do with the Santiago army, said:
What can we do but leave the
IL oops there until they are free from
the fever? We can't fight it anywhere
else as well as there, Undertake to
bring them back to this country, and
it would infect every transport we have
and if We brought them back, where
wonld we land them? There is no city
of the coast that would not rise i n arms
at the very suggestion of landing
army within its limits.

others is a gentleman who deals very
recklessly with facts, if The Criterion,
published at Portland, quotes him
correctly. The gentleman referred to
is Prof. Shaw, of:he Minnesota expert
mental station. He attended the
farmers congress at Astoria last week,
and being asked how many sheep can
be raised to an acre said: The state
(Miunesota) had small flock of sheep.
and two and three-quat5r acres of land
were secured. There were tifty-three
sheep i n the flock. but we managed to
pasture them for three months. The
next year we had 10 acres of land and
66 sheep and lambs. The following
year we got 10 tons of wool from this
small flock. and the year following 20
tons"
This would be most remarkable
clip of wool-a little more Than 465
pounds to the sheep. Prof. Shaw
might have made the salmon fishers at
Aston ia believe such yarn, but he
couldn't stuff an Eastern Oregon wool
grower with it.

Protection Against Fire.

While The Dalles has a very COM
plete fire department and the best
apparatus of any town of its size in
the state, still there is room for i'm
provement. Some of the property
owners have undertaken to more
thoroughly protect their property
against fire by the purchase of Stem
pie fire extinguishers and placing them
in accessible places in their premises.
Max yogt & Co. have bought three of
these extinguishers and have one in
the Vogt block one in the Chapman
block, and one in the opera house.
A. M. Williams & Co. have three of
them and J. T. Peters g. Co. have
three distributed among their various
properties.
This extinguisher ia the best that is
made and is very effective contri-
vance. 1t is charged with water hold
ing solution of soda and in the top is
bottle, of acid, which when the ex-
tinguisher is turned over, breaks
bottle of acid that generates gas, that
is thrown upon the fire. The ex-
tinguisber is perfect success, and it
would be well if one were placed in
every business house in the city.

FIRST COLONIAL CONGRESS.


To the courts OF Europe, engaged at
the moment in meaningless intriguee,
either foreign or domestic, and ali
alike grown quite dim now this Coo
NAL Congress was not even obscure, II
was not visible at all. Yet Thought
fully regarded, it deserved considera-
ton much better than anything Whlch
just then engaged the attention on
Europe. Fifteen years later its ucter-
ances were to be quoted as aluhorlJy,
and its example emulated In Parls
when an ancient monarchy was Uot-
tering to its fall. 1t was the start OF a
great movement which was 10 sweep
on until checked at Waterloo. inns
same movement was to begin itsmarcn
again in 1880 in the streets OF Paris
and carry the reform OF nhe brlulsn
Parliament two years later.
II was to break forth once more in
1SiS and keep steadily on advancing
and conduering, although ITS work is
still incomplete even among the ma
tions of western civilization. Yet, no
one in Ealrope needed it at the mo
ment and they failed to see that it
meant not simply colonial quarrel,
not merely the coming of a new na-
tion but the rising of the people to
take their share in the government Of
the earth. 1t was, in fact, the first
step in the great Democratic move
which has made history ever since.

EELs OFF FOR THE MOUNTAINS

EELS OFF FOR THE MOUNTAINS.
The annual migration of cells from
the sea up the river is now in progress
in the Connecticut river, the advance
school of the fish, an immense one,
showing off Colts dock Sunday morn
ing, and since the beginning the
river has been fairly alive with eels
squirming their way along, making for
the shadows where they can find mud
dy bottom and good feeding. The adj
vent of the schools of eels was noted in
a MiddletOwn dispatch to the Courant
on Thursday. Since that time the cells
have been seen all along the river, and
particularly off this city. A spectator
who was watching the high water
while sitting on Colts dock early Sun
day morning discovered a great dis
turbance on the surface of the water
close under the wall. This was made
/ by an immense school of cells, from
| three to five inches long, making their
way into the shallow water For an
| hour the school continued to pass by,
and there seemed to be no let-up at
| that time, but the eels continued to
pass along by thousands.
This is the usual Summer migration
/ of eels which takes place from salt to
| fresh water in the warm months, tne
| cells returning to salt water in cold
| weather. That they have not been
uniformly seen in their progress up
| stream is because at low water they
swim up under water, picking out the
shallow places, where the current is
| not strong.
This season the period of their in
ward migration happened to be instan-
taneous with high water, and when eels
swim in deep water they rise to the
surface, where they can more easily
combat the current. This they are able
to do because of the unusually large
air bladder with which each eel is
provided. The eel is bound to make its
