YOUNG LAWYERS WILL DEBATE.
A Very Fine Question Of Professional
Ethics.

The young lawyers of the Oregon
Law School have organized a debating
society, and their first subject is one
that involves a profound problem Of
professional ethics. II is, resolved that
a lawyer should not defend a man
whom he believes to be guilty. They
debate informally, and without the
cumbersome machinery of a constitu
tion and bylaws, and rules of order
of the old-fashloned debating society.
In this Dean Richardson, Of the Ore
gon Law School, shows good sense. as

portland Oregonian, Oct. 29)
ITO the medium of flies as carriers of
infection, is attributed the preva
lence Of typhoid fever in a district Of
East Portland that heretofore has been
considered one OF the healthiest in the
city. That flies carry typhoid fever
germs on their legs and transmit them
to the systems of persons, through tho
food that is eaten, has been proved
beyond a doubt Typhoid fever has
become almost an epidemic in the vi.
cinity of East Nineteenth and Halsey
st Gets, and the disease, it is claimed,
was taken there by flies from a grad

"R G. Hamilton, who lives in that
vicinity, has been afflicted with ty.
phoid for weeks, and nearly a dozen
other persons have had IT, As the
sanitary conditions of that district are
good, the residents are at loss to ac.
count for the outbreak of the malady.
The physicians, in investigating the
cause, ascertained that among the
graders camped near by there were
two or three cases of the fever. Flies
came in contact with infected refuse
matter, then transmitted the germs TO
food that was eaten by those who
later developed the disease.
THAT flies are one of the greatest
known sources of distribution of ty.
phoid, is a comparatively new theory
in the medical world, but tests have
been made to prove the correctness of
IL. It is well-known that typhoid ba.
cilli live in filth, and the outbreak of
the malady in district of perfect san.
itation and cleanliness has often
caused medical men to be puzzled to
explain the cause. Then came the fly
theory.
In city where typhoid was develop
ing at the rate of half dozen cases

flies were caught in a room where
typhoid patient lay. The legs of tho
insects were tested, and it was found
that three of the five flies had their
legs covered with germs.

At Salem typhoid fever was attribu-

Several articles have appeared in
the state papers recently concerning
the wild dogs Of Sherman county. and
their origin. That there are hundreds
OF wild dogs there is well known to
residents Of Sherman county, but
whence they came but few know.
Sherman county has an elevation of
from 1900 to 1000 feet. It's northern
portion rises abruptly from the Colum-
bia, while on the east, the great wheat
plateau breaks abruptly down to the
John Day, and on the west the De.
schutes, in the same precipitOus man

on each side with deep gullies, high
points and basaltic bluffs. abounding

These two sections are known "as the
breaks" Of the John Day and the De
schutes. respectively. and It is in these
inaccessible places the wild dogs fnd
a safe retreat, and from which they
roam occasionally, to the damage Of
th3 sheep owners.
Nearly 30 years ago George Wal

the mountains, owned a large ranch

He was an enthusiastic hunter, prairio

he had formed the habit Of appropriate

ranch. While gratifying this weak
ness he one day swiped a splendid
pointer belonging to one OF the ON
ployes OF the O S. N. Co. When the
