Yellow lack Again.

Tho South has had n genuine yellow
fever scare, tho first for years, and while
1t Is now stated upon authority that the
disease has made it's appearance In the
city Of New Orleans, and that there
have been at least six deaths from It,
the most vigorous precautionary measures
were taken at once to prevent the spread
Of It, Government experts were rushed
to the scene and everything possible Is
being done to stamp out tho disease
which thus far has been confined to a
very small area and the State Of Ala
bama has ordered q quarantine against
New Orleans. 1t is somewhat amusing
that Havana has also quarantined
against New Orleans.
The outbreak is the first in that local.
@lty since $780, and the first case of yell
low fever in the United Suites since tho
outbreak Mt Laredo, Texas, on the Mex
lean border, about q year ago. During
the fiscal year 1903 not a case of fever
was reported as originating In the United.
States. In 1901 there were seven cases.
and two deaths at Havana but the dis
ease has been practically cradcatcd. In
that island. and Cuba was the source Of
practically every yellow fever epidemic
which we have had in the South for gen.
erations, With Cuba free from yellow
fever, and with our knowledge of the dis
ease and the methods Of prevention, it
is not to be feared that there will be
anything like an epidemic in the United
Etatcs this year

The Extra Session.

According to n sta tcment sent out from
Oyster Bay. President Roosevelt will
call an extraordinary session Of Con-
meeting is called so the story goes, to
put through some legislation very much
needed for the progress of tho Panama
Canal; to consider anti-rebate and other
railroad legislation and the tariff ques-
ton. 1t Is explained by the same author
\ ity, n correspondent of the Washington
Post, that BY the time the extraordinary
session begins the plans of Chairman
Theodore c. Shonts and Engineer II. II.
Stevens will be in n measure formulated,
and the President wishes the work to
30 on without a hitch for want Of pro-
vision and appropriation.
II was stated some time ago that the
President was much Disguised with gov
eminent red tape in @all departments and
it is to be presumed that he will en-
Gcavor to procure such legislation as
will enable him to carry on the work OF
constructing the canal in business-like
way.
With regard to the tariff the Presi-
If he fails to call the attention Of Con-
grcss to the fact that :under the present
system, as illustrated in the purchase
of supplies for the Panamn Canal, for.
cign goods and American goods can
be purchased IN foreign markets cheaper
. than they can be purchased in tho home
markets. because of our discriminating
tariff. During the presidential campaign
Republicans admitted that the tariff
needed to be reformed, but they said
that tho notifications should be made
by 4ihe friends, and not by the enemies
Of The protective tariff system. At any
rate they confessed that tariff revision
was needful. That fact was never before
SO well illustrated, never so emphasized
as in the confession of the government
itself that 1t could buy It's supplies for
the canal cheaper in the foreign mar
kcts than In the home markets. Tho
Presidents special message to Congress
on this point will be watched with keen
interest by American consumers.
AS concerns railroad rate legislation
The Posts correspondent Is very
guarded. II is to be Inferred that the
message from oyster Bay was inspired y
and the correspondent cautiously says
'rhat the President also wishes some
ant!-rebatc and other legislation put
through" The term rate regulation
is not mentioned. and the whole subject
Is made, according to this correspondent
subordinate 10 the question of canal
legislation.
eThe Presidents first vigorous assault
on the whole system Of rebates served
to thoroughly arouse the public to the
dangers and determinations of specifl
rates Though the public resentment
against such methods has not cooled. It
Is very doubtful 4 the sentiment Is
as strong for the Presidents plan as It
vas four month"; ago
The powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission will almost certainly be en-
larged and strengthened, but there Is
no reason TO apprehcnd a revolutionary
change in the control of railroads ol

The City Would Counter.

An important suit has been filed
in the district court in which the city
of Lewiston is plaintiff and S. G. Isa-
man is defendant. The suit was filed
by City Attorney Cox and special
counsel, I. n. Smith. The plaintiff
seeks to recover s175OO, that sum
representing the amount of the judg-
ment and interest secured by Mrs.
Mary Mclean against the city for in
juries received by falling through a
defective sidewalk.
The defendant was the owner of the
Hotel Grand. property, in front of
which the accident occurred, and the
contention of the city is that the cell
lar door through which Mrs. Mclean
fell, was placed there by the defend
ant, thus changing the street and
creating the obstruction. AS fur
ther basis of action, the city holds
that the defendant negiigently left
the cellarway in a dangerous condi-
| tion.
The Mclean damage suit attracted
a good deal of attention at the time
of the trial, and at that time there
was some discussion as to whether oil
not the owner of the hotel property
was responsible, but no suit was ther
filed.

here last fall and has spent most of
the time in Tonopah, New. returned
to Baker City yesterday on his way
to New York state, and visit to his
aged father, whom he has not seen

After his visit in New York and
other points, Mr.. Lummis expects to
return to Baker City.
Mr.. Lummis says the Nevada gold
fields certainly have merit and many
big producing mines are there, but 1t
is an expensive country to operate
in and from a health standpoint there
is every danger of sickness of the
worst type. He says the reports of
bad health at Tonopah were not ex-
aggerated, but sanitary measures were
taken promptly and there is now a
decrease of sickness.
At Goldfield, he says, 1t is even
worse than the reported conditions
sent out from Tonopah. AS for him
self he says he will be content to
make money slower and live in a
healthier climate, than be exposed to
such dangers as surrounds one in Me-
