smaIInox at Hood River.

There is considerable of stir in
Hood River over the report that man
afflicted with smallpox had been
engaged in trawberry picking on
Lyman Smiths place. The mans
name is Sullivan and he came from
Dundee. He was taken sick and was.
sent to Portland fer treatment, where
it was disc overed that he is afflicted
with smallpox. There were only four
or five people camped with him. and
they have been quarap tined by Con-
stable Olinger, so there is little danger
of the disease spreading. Every pre-
caution is being taken to confine those
who had been exposed, and if others
take the disease, it will probably be
only those who associated with Mr..
Sullivan after he was taken sick.
