Apple Box Standard.

At the annual session OF the Inland
Empire Horticultural association held in
Spokane a few weeks ago the new stand
ard apple box was adopted. 1t contains
224l cubic inches OF space and is to be
made in two shapes to conform to the
difference in the size OF apples. This
will give a box smaller than the one
now in general use. The standard
bushel OF the United States contains
2l50.42 cubic inches, thus the new box
will contain little more than bushel.
In filing the boxes each one is to be
stamped A" one bushel" A committee
was appointed to make an effort to have
legislation enacted that will compel the
use Of the new standard.

CHURCH NOTES.

The Congregational church was fitted
up with a new furnace last week and
on Sunday it was tested and proved
highly satisfactory. The furnace was
presented to the church by Gilbert &
Richey, conditioned that the ladies
would pay for putting it in place. The
ladies willingly agreed to this, and at an
early date will give New England
dinner in the room recently vacated by
the Greene Mercantile store to raise
funds to pay for the work of placing the
furnace.
Rev. Joseph A. Persell of Nebraska
arrived here last week to succeed Rev.
NJ. J. Carmichaels of the Mennonite

tients wherever attention is needed from
him. AS he had the disease last winter,
and is perfectly immune, he can best
look after those confined in the pest
house,without fear of the contageon. On
Sunday he arrested two men on the
streets showing symptoms of the disease
and on Monday he took one patient from
a lodging house on Front street.
So far there have been no deaths re.
sulting from the malady and no appre-
hension is felt from this source. All
those who have been quarantined are
getting along nicely at present. The
disease is in very mild form and a
greater per cent of the cases are among
those who have not been yaccinated.
There need be no undue alarm among
the people over the situation. What is
needed is to get down to work and as
sist in stamping out the dread disease.
This can be done only by the hearty CO.
operation of everybody. Extreme eau
ton is absolutely necessary and strict
observance of the rules of hygiene should
prevail wherever possible. Another i'm
portant matter is strict enforcement of
the quarantine regulations and moral
support and encouragement extended by
the citizens to the health officers in the
performance of their duties. Everybody
should be vaccinated and where there
are families unable to pay for this the
services will be furnished at the expense
of the county.
The latest report Is to the effect that
the disease is not spreading. 1t has
been checked by the speedy work OF
the board OF health. and in few days a
decline in the number OF cases is con-
fidently looked for by these gentlemen.

THE FACTS.

There has been considerable anxiety
among the people of North Yakima and
vicinity during the week past on account
of the smallpox scare. Wild rumors of
all kinds persistently kept to the fore an
exaggerated condition of affairs and con-
sequently it was easy for those not ia
miliar with real facts to be misled. 1t
is amusing how groundless and inn
probable some such rumors were, and
in the light of later knowledge it is re-
markable that general hegira did not
take place to get away from the sup
posed plague. But, withal, there was
some foundation for the excited condi-
ton that existed here for few days,
and few words of explanation are
necessary.
Smallpox exists in North Yakima.
There are also a number of cases of
chickenpOx and between the two many
people became confounded as to the
actual number OF cases here. The board
Of health reports 81 cases of smallpox in
about 40 families that are quarantined
in different parts of the city. This
number includes nine cases reported at
the pest house this morning. OF the
number of cases of chickenpox it is not
exactly known, but it is the opinion that
about 80 or 40 would cover the amount.
OF the whole number of cases of small
poX only five or six were at any time
considered virulent the rest being of
mild form; so mild in fact that doubt
has been raised in the minds of the lay
men and one or two physicians as to the
disease being smallpox. This difference
of opinion has caused all the trouble and
10 end of anxiety among the people who
know nothing about the conditions
under which the two diseases exist.
Whether it is either disease, that
which claims the attention of the public
spirited people is caution;'' and if
caution had been exercised in the be-
ginning the alarming condition of affairs
would not have risen last week. Pa.
rents permitted chickenpox or smallpox
infected children to attend the public
schools, thus paving the way for pro-
fniscuous infection; and men, who
should know better, walked the streets
OF the city and circulated among crowds,
while the disease showed marked adj
vancement in their faces. This has been
the means of injecting the whole COM
munity. To get rid of this infection has
been for the last week, and is now, re-
ceiving the attention of the board of
health. To aid them in their work the
schools were all closed last Thursday
noon for an indefinite period. The
board of health met to consider the
situation. They issued a notice to all
parents to have their children vacci-
mated at once, which edict has been
complied with by a majority of the peo-
pie. 1t was thought at first to be adj
visable to close all places of public meet
ing, but the situation was not deemed
serious enough to warrant steps of this
kind. The Sunday schools, however,
were voluntarily closed. AS the pest
house became filled with patients, eight
altogether, new one is now in course
of construction to be ready for any
emergency. Along with the board of
health Marshal Grant has been kept
unusually busy in looking after the pa
