FEDERAL CONTROL

Il viii Take 4 Half Mllli0N OF
Money and Months Of
Time For the Work.

New Orleans, Aug. There II 370.-

an assessment on the citixens Of NsW
Orleans, and no difficulty standing r.
the way Of immediate federal control
Of the fever situation. DR.. White ssti-
mates the total expenses for eradication
at $500 to $4,000 q day. or from $780,
900 to $4,000 for the fever months
which would carry the campaign into
December. by which time frost may b
expected. There Is, therefore. availa-
BILE enough money to 30 forward with
the federal plans at high pressure for
month or six weeks. and long before
that time 1t is assured by Mayor Behr-
man and Chairman Janviere Of the citi-'
zens' committee. that total Of $780,
900 will be on hand.
If complete success crowns the work
Of the marine hospital bureau It n
possible that the fever will be under
control by the 18th Of September with
out requiring the expenditure Of the
maximum figure which 10 asked from
the city to stamp out the disease.
August has always been regarded 40
one of the worst months In an epide-
mic, and the comparatively small num-
Der of fatalities thus far this month
in comparison with other years gives
great encouragement to the authorities.
Every authority wanted by the federal
bureau is assured. Adequate police
power will be given the marine hospital
surgeons to aid them in their scientific
work. DR.. White says the municipal
laws are sufficient for his purpose.
Chairman Janviere of the citizens COM
mittee vii put his force at the disposal
of DR. White. Engines Of the depart
ment are to be made available in flush

quarantine regulations that are now in

WORKED THEIR WAY TO FAIR

Portland Aug. -Four boys and ave
girls who live at Lookout, in Skagit
county. Washington. have the right
sort OF spirit. and there is a teacher up
In that town who Is quite the right
sort. This combinatio resulted n few
days ago in the nine children and the
teacher visiting the Lewis and Clark
exposition, and this is the way II hap
pened.
The nine. who comprise Miss Clara
Vineup's eighth grade class at Look

wanted to visit the fair, but they had
no money. 1t was found that the
school needed a tanitor. at IS a month.

They got the job. and did the work
better than 1t ever had been done be-
fore. Then the four boys, not to be

school with cord wood. and did 1t.
These methods were sure enough.
but very slow. So the class organised
a theatrical company and presented
Down by the Sea" before enthusiastic
audiences in their own and neighboring
school houses. Thus the funds were
increased to more than $500. But still
money was needed. The class decided
that Lookout should have a cook book.
They gathered recipes from mothers
and friends. persuaded Bellingham
merchants to subscribe to enough ad-
vertising to pay cost Of publication.
and sold several hundred copies Of the
book at twenty-five cents each. This
increased the fund to 5000, which was
sufficient to pay all necessary expenses.
Then the nine and their teacher came
to Portland. and they enjoyed the fair
probably more than any other nine
boys and girls who have yet visited Il

Deal Of Difficulty.

Low water has commenced to work

being the Rex mill, which was forced
to close down last week on account of
lack of water, says the Wallace CORES
pondent of the Spokane Review.
All the streams are running low since
the recent torrid spell. and unless
there is soon an abundance of rain all
the mills Of the district will be handi-
capped as they were last summer.
Since the first Of this month there has
been but little rain. and a gradual
shrinkage in the streams has taken
place.
As a decrease occurs in the stage OF

Power company. More power is now
being taken from Spokane than at any
time since last fall. and this will be

Lewiston was visited by another dis
astrous fire on Monday morning when
a ninety foot frontage on Main street
was wiped out and the fierce heat car
ried with it the wreck of a large brick
block. The fire originated in the North
Star Shoe company's store in the CEN
ter Of the block of frame buildings on
Main street at the head of Fourth. The
flames spread rapidly throughout this
block, taking the stores Of the Blue
Front and the u. 4 /. and Fountain
saloons. A heavy wind carried the
flames to the east and the Adams block
was soon endangered. In spite of he
roic effort on the part Of the fire de-
partment the block caught fire on the
roof and spread into the interior of the
building. 1t was finally checked in the
top floors but not till a deluge of water
had ruined the stock in all the store
rooms on the lower floor and of all the
offices in the building.
AS soon as it was evident that the
Adams block could not be saved the oc-
cupants began the process of moving
and the street was filled with office
apparatus and all the implements OF
the medical and dental trade and pro-
fessions. The loss on all this and the
stock that was not moved is loss
principally of water damage and every
thing that could be effected by water
is utterly ruined.
The firms and owners who suffered
losses by the fire were: J. p. VOllmer
