Scenes About Camp.

The scenes about the camp especially
In the morning, are sad and striking. The
poor natives come In many instances from
distant barrios and are weu-nigh exhausted
when they reach the scene Of relief II is
a pitiable-looking crowd but it is rep
resentative one, and is forceful argument
in favor OF vigorous prosecution Of the
commissions work.
The patients range in age from eight to
nearly eighty, and most Of them are pre-
maturely old and show the dire effects of
anemia and lack of nutrition. Not until
they feel the beneficial effects of the treat
ment does the shadow of despair leave their
faces. Then they depart full of hope and,
presumably, empty of anemia parasites.
Ii is the purpose of the commission to
send to every health officer of Porto Rico
report of all the experiments and to urge
earnest cooperation and uniform eatment
in all parts of the island. Unless this ma
1--WE assistance is secured the work of Grad
icating the disease will be very slow, espe-
cially in the coffee districts, where 1t is most
prevalent.
Some Of the Porto Rican doctors are not
inclined to adopt readily American methods
OF practice, and the convincing of these
cynics will be a difficult task for the COM
mission to accomplish. Others, to the con-
trary, are showing keen interest and are
giving hearty support to the workers OF
this type was DR. Enrique Rodriguez of
Bayamon, who waso an ardent volunteer
associate Of the ,coInmission Two weeks
ago he was suddenly stricken with heart
failure. AS he was about to be removed
from the anemia camp to his home he turn
ed to Dr. Ashford and other distressed
friends and said: Boys this is NV finish
but keep up this good work for Porto RicoV'
The next day hegdied.
Conclusions Show Importance of Work
A few of the conclusions of students of the
anemia question In Porto Rico will show the
Importance of the EXPERIMENTS now being
made. Gen. George w. Davis, the new gov
ernor of the Panama. canal strip, and for
meriy military governor of Porto Rico, de-
clared in report:

laboring classes at 100000 souls who do not

Value to Medical Profession.
Special Correspondence of The Evening star.

The results of the commissions expert
ments are sure to be of worldwide interest,
and especially will they be of Infinite value
to the medical profession in tropical coun-
tries where anemia prevails. Already the
treatment given is meeting with most graft
flying results, and the commission seems to
have proved that anemia Is resultant from
contact with infected soil and that agricul-
tural laborers rarely escape infection
AS in Porto Rico, 63 per cent of the
population are engaged in agricultural
pursuits; the state of their health has an
important bearing on economic conditions
and the prevalence of uncinariasis is a
matter of vital concern. Nearly one-fourth
OF the deaths in the island are from ane-
mia, and the same disease causes fatal
ravages in the Philippines and the south
ern states; hence all Americans are deep
ly concerned.
Doctors Ashford and King have made a
long and careful study of uncinariasis IN
Porto Rico, treating more than a thousand
cases, and are convinced that the preva-
lent anemia is CAUSED by the presence of
tiny parasites which, destroy the hema-
globin, or red eoloring matter of the

upon where the seeds from which the trees

Character of Parasite.


Heretofore thengenerally accepted the
DRY has been that this parasite is blood
sucker and draws the, vital elements from
the blood; alsoIthat anemia is chronic in
digestion caused by inflammation of the
mucous membrane through bites of the
parasite.
The treatment at Rayamon is very SIM
pie Microscopic tests at once reveal the
presence of the,worm, which is known to
exist from the general anemic appearance
of the patient. Thymol is used as vermi-
fuge to expel the parasites, and then a
wonderful rise of hemaglobin with CO.
incident gain in vitality is noticed. A sim
gle instance of an aggravated case will
suffice to show results. A month ago a
man came in dying condition to the
camp. His face was pasty white his legs
were swollen and his condition was abb
normally torpid. Apparently he was be-
yond hope, and few minutes after his
arrival he tainted on the hospital porch
and was carried to. bed. Heart murmurs
were pronounced

globin reduced to 26 per cent Last week
it had risen to 50 per cent, and the man

The test blood is taken from the lobe of
the ear and the drop which fills the tiny

NEW YORK AT EXPOSITION
Handsome Building at lews and
Centennial.

Portland. Dec. 22.--The New York
state commission for the Lewis and
Clark Centennial has applied for site
on which to erect a handsome state
building. The site reserved is near
that of Massachusetts in Centennial
park. the natural wooded section of the
exposition grounds. and embraces
commanding view of Guilds lake. the
Willamette river. and the snow-capped
peaks of Mt. Hood and Mt. st. Helens
II is expected that a structure cost
ing about $50, 900 will be constructed in
which an extensive display will be
made. As there is a great demand from
manufacturers and importers of New
York for space in which to make ex-
hibits. it is probable that the Empire
state headquarters will be commodi-
Gus so as to embrace as full representa-
tian as possible of the products Of that
state. Construction work will begin on
the building about the first of January,
and as the winters are mild in Port
land roses even blooming the year
around. the structure will be completed
many months before the exposition
opens.

FOR SAVING FLOUR GOLD
There's Millions in il for the Man Who
invents the Process

The article i'm last evenings Miner
chronicling the perfection by an on
tario tAre.) man of a machine to save
Snake river gold. brings to mind the
fact that from Blackfoot falls TO Lew
iston the turbid old Snake is strewn
with abandoned dredgers. not one of
which has proven profitable, and many
OF which cost from $4,000 to $50. 600
each. says the Sumpter Miner. Every
conceivable system for separating the
flour and flake gold from the muck
mixed with black sand on Snake river
bars have been tried, at much cost and
found wanting. The nearest approach
to success has occurred in the case OF
General Weaver, once a national Pop
ulist leader, who is operating a dredge
near the confluence of the Payette and
Snake. This machine aims directly at
amalgamation, without recourse to in
termediate process involving concen-
tration of the auriferous black sand.
The pay dirt is Thoroughly mixed with
water and is sprayed an endless num-
Der OF times upon copper plate coated
with quicksilver. 1t is~estimated that
each particle of sand containing the
infinitesimal particles of gold is forced
into contact with the amalgam plate
1000 times. While the saving in this
process is high in percentage. the ma
chimes capacity is obviously limited.

NAY
COME HERE
He Will Manage the "Mormon"
Baseball Team Next
Year

The word has gone out that Chas. r.
Reilly, the popular baseball manager.
has accepted the management OF the
Salt Lake baseball team in the Pacific
National league for the coming year.
Mr.. Reilly is we'll known in this city
and made many friends here while put
ting the Spokane team through the try
out last spring. At the time that Mr.
Reilly was in the city he stated that
he was greatly pleased over the eli
matte conditions i'm Lewiston during
practice season and expressed himself
of the opinion that should he be in the
field as manager of some team the
coming year that he would endeavor to
come to Lewiston again. Since the an
nouncement is made that he will man
age the Salt Lake team it is highly
probable that Lewiston may have the
honor of taking care of the Salt Lake
team during the spring. that is unless
Mr.. Reilly has changed his mind.
There is one feature that will assert
which will have to be given some con-
sideration. At this time Lewiston has
no ball park and the necessity of
grounds for games should be looked
into by those most interested in out
door sports. There will be times dur
ing the coming season when opportun-
ty for a good line of sports may be
manifest and the lack of proper
grornds may be n serious obstruction.

Mr.. Norman Jackson. clerk OF the

son is perhaps one of the best posted
men in the state with reference to state
lands and the timber thereon. Mr..

has been greatly benefited by the sys-
tenn in vogue of disposing OF it's lands
and that the best possible results have
been attained. When questioned as to
his opinion of the recent statement at

that they still have seventeen years to

doubt but what many millions OF dol
