WE never thought he would

actually give his declination to
his committee without any
strings to it.
FIFTY thousand dead English
men are rotting in the Trans
vaal; most of them common
people, from the working classes;
SONS of farmers, -laborers, small
tradesmen. The stencil from
their peutrid bodies arises to
heaven as a protest against the
mercinary war of conquest
which England is pushing
against the farmers of the South
African republic. Humanity re-
volts at this sacrifice of sturdy
manhood on the alter of gold.
HONEST christianity condemns
it. God Himself will bring just
retributiOn to the men in high
places who are responsible for
the sacrifice.

lieve the people of this district
want to send a man to the state
senate, where a legitimate and
straight course will only give
him honors in return, who is
willing to spend big money for
such honors. They will prefer a
man who will go there as the
representative of all the people
NOT a representative of the
few who happen to be interested
in legislation for private gain.

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING.
Measures 10 Prevent the Plague May
BE Taken Saturday

Mayor Bergman will probably call
special meeting Of the council for Sat
urday night for the purpose Of con-
sldering the recommendation OF the
board Of health that immediate steps be
taken TO exterminate all the rats in
the city. as precautionary measure
against an epidemic OF bubonlc plague.
should the desease make It's appear
ance here. When seen by o reporter
last evening Mayor Bergman could
not state just when he would call the
meeting. as he had not then consulted
with city Physician Henderson, but he
thought the special session would be
, neld Saturday night.
The determination Of rats is no small
task. and Ia already causing the mu-
nicipal health authorities much annoy
ance. Is II safe TO authorize citizens
to scatter poison Indlscriminately
aboutp How will the bounty system
be arfansed7 What disposition will be
made Of the dead bodies OF the rats
which succumb in the interests OF
health? These are puzzling questions
for those in charge OF the city gov
ernment to ponder over.
At It's last meeting the board Of
health decided to recommend the Lay-
ment Of bounty Of cents for each
rat killed. or course, evidence OF the
death OF the rats must be presented
TO the auditor, but whether the head
or the tail OF the deceased rodent shall
be considered good evidence has not
been determined. Two cents rat isn't
very much. to be sure. but 1t is sufii-

do not care to assume the RESPONSE
billty OF determining the residence of
those rats which may be brought TO
me by bounty-seekers. All rats look
alike to me-"
How would It be for me to prepare
an ordinance requiring rats to regis
ter?" said City Attorney Smith,
Seriously. however. the auditors task
will be anything but agreeable.
The appearance OF the disease in San
Francisco and the case reported at
Port Townsend have brought the local
authorities to realization OF the neces-
sity for immediate action. Physi-
clans are a unit in agreeing that the
plague may eventually reach Astoria,
and the greatest precautionary meas
ures which possibly can be taken is
the killing of rats. Without doubt, the
council will act on the recommendation
of the board of health and offer the
bounty.
The determination OF mice is quite as
important as that of rats. many per-
sons believe. but City Physician Hen
derson says such is not the case.
The rat is a hobo and travels all
over town. while the mouse prefers the
pantry, seldom leaving the house,
said he. 1--WE should not experience
much difficulty in ridding the city Of
rats, and that we should begin the
crusade of determination at once ad-
mits Of no argument. The conse-
Quences of an epidemic of the plague
would be terrible"
