the lepers, and by the sixteenth century
the disease had begun to disappear from
Europe, save in Portugal. Greece, Nor
way and Sweden, in which countries, as
a writer tells us, "it has mysteriously
survived from the Middle Ages" To-day
the fearful disease occurs epidemically
in northern and eastern Africa, Egypt,
Arabia, Persia, China, Japan and India;
Russia, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Greece,
France and Spain, and the islands of the
Pacific and Indian oceans; Il is prevalent
in Central and South American, Mexico,
the West Indies, Australia. the Hawaiian
islands, and New Zealand. and is found
in New Bruncwick and other parts of
Canada.
India, which country contains over
100, 600 lepers, Is one of the principal
places where leprosy exists. No province
in India is free from 1t. Segregation is
not at all strict; the man who brings
you bread may be leper, or the woman
that passes you freely in the street may
be afflicted.
1t is estimated that there aye 90, 900
lepers in the Philippines. Leprosy was
introduced into the Philippines in 1893,
when the emperor of Japan sent to these
islands a ship with $50 lepers on board,
the exiles to be consigned to the care OF
the Catholic priests. The govern
ment is now engaged In searching
for the present day lepers and
providing for their isolation. In
the Hawaiian islands strict segrega-
ton has been the rule for many years,
though a considerable number of lepers
are aided by their friends in eluding the
vigilance of the officers and the exile to
the lepeI colony on Molokai. The leper
settlement on Molokai is shut in by
mountain and sea, and escape from It is
almost impossible. Catholic sisters are
the nurses there, the immediate care
takers and the territorial government
makes liberal provision for the support
of the victims,
Though it is not generally known,
leprosy exists in many parts of the
United States Louisiana, Florida, Cali
fornia and Minnesota being the chief
centers. Leprosy has been known in
Louisiana since 1855, and has increased

about 1866. A report sent to the senate
commission Of medical officers of the
ma arine hospital service, shows that lep-
rosy is distributed in the United States as
follows: Alabama, one case; California

Dakota, /; Texas. 3: Wisconsin, 3; max
ing a total of 27S cases.
The disease is now generally regarded
as both contagious and infectious and
scientists urge strict segregation Inter-
national conferences on the subject are
held from time to time, and the reports
given at these meetings show that as yet
no progress has been made in the cure of
the disease. The bacillus Of leprosy was

Active roadwork under the new
system adopted by Morrow county,
will be commenced iD short time.
A new road scraper has been pur-
chased and will be put into service
Like most of the other counties in
the state of Oregon, former
methods of road work have not
accomplished anything. The new
system where the road tax is to be
collected in cash and expended in
a judicious manner, and the work
Ia to be under the supervision of a
competent roadmaster, something
can be accomplished. In the long
run, the expense to the county
will be but little. if any greater.
Under the former methods where
road work could be hardly called
compulsory, and was looked upon
lightly, no one felt like doing any
thing. Under the new system the
work can be handled to 80 much
better advantage and the very
worst roads can be worked when
they ought to be worked.

Now that the bill appropriating
S500,00O for the Lewis and Clarke
fair has passed, it is time to COM
mence work in earnest, for the
greatest fair ever held in the west.
Portland should lead in this and
set a good example to every coun-
ty in the state of Oregon. Simply
passing the appro 2riation bill and
subscribing the money is only a
small portion of the work to make
the fair success. The fair will
be just what the people of Oregon
make it. II is going to cost
great amount Of money but good
value can be returned if conducted
in a proper manner. Each county
should have a faithful and COM
petent representative to look after
the interests Of every district in
the state, for every district will be
compelled to pay its share. Eastern
Oregon should not stand back on
this proposition.

result, however, will be beneficial.
Not only Venezuela, but other
South and Central American re-
pubIic., will learn that they must
pay their debts, though European
nations will scarcely enjoy again
such a method of collecting debts.
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Hav have carried &. themselves
through the curious incident dis
creetly, not getting excited nor in
any way entangled. Venezuela,
owing largely to Mr.. Bowen's firm
and positive stand, comes out of
the embodiment with rather mole
credit than the European powers
do. AS for England, it would
probably not be an exaggeration
to say that she is dlsgusted with
the whole business, and particular
ly with her "alliance" with Ger
many. There are no hopes of the
farce e-tragedy, except Bowen-uD-
less it be Kipling, who was inspired
by the occurrence to write "The
Rowers." And Castro has carried
himself well, and grown in the
worlds estimation. If he can
keep his position for few years,
maintain peace in Venezuela, and
pay her debts, he will grow into
figure of importance.-Telegram
