SERVANTS IN FLATS.
More Attention to Snowy Halls Than
Comfortable Rooms.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
A study of the fats of London leads the
Lancet to draw a comparison between the
servants quarters in these communal
houses of the well-to-do with the frankly
insanitary dwellings Of the poor, by no
means entirely to the advantage of the
fats. 1t is astonished to find persons who
are greatly exercised over the conditions
In the tenements often willing to put part
of their own households In rooms which are
an improvement on tenement rookeries I'm
appearance rather than in reality, so far as
the essentials of health and comfort are
concerned. 1t says that Sin at least con-
siderable number OF instances the servants
are housed under conditions which, did they
exist in the dwellings of the poor, would
be open to strong criticism, the safety from
such criticism In houses of the rich lying
In the fact that external appearances are
sometimes little deceptive" Some Of the
worst accommodations, so far as servants
quarters went. were found in comparative
new apartments In fashionable parts Of the
city with rentals ranging from $T00 to
1.s00
A study In New York would be likely to
reveal a similar or worse condition of af-
fairs. AS New York real estate is more
expensive than that of London, and our
peculiar street system has encouraged the
erection OF deep and narrow buildings, In
which the problem of light and reasonably
spacious main rooms to accommodate a
family is difficult of solution. 1t would be
natural to expect to find the servants rele-
gated to mere closets That is exactly what
is found In a great number of apartments
to be had for 81 900 to $1,000 a year. Until
recently, at least, bed room big enough
to hold an understood cot, without space
even for comfortable chair. is about all
the average builder of moderate priced flats
has thought 1t necessary to provide for
these important members of household.
Attention seems to be chiefly concentrated
on foyer halls and other show features, and
the New Yorker is either so vain that he
likes the sacrifice of comfort and decency
to vulgar ostentation or so helpless In the
hands Of the real estate man that he goes
on living in closets himself, tucking his
servants away in odd corners and paying
his money for onyx-lined entrances ana
parquet-fioored drawing rooms. 1t Is good
deal cheaper for the owner to throw In a
liberal quantity of gliding at the front door
than to put into an apartment space enough
to furnish decent quarters for all Its In
mates In some of the new and expensive
apartments servants baths are provided
and a great virtue Is made of extra attic
chambers for additional domestics; but too
infrequently In ffatdom is there any attempt
to solve the problem of making domestic
service attractive to self-respecting. inteiii-
gent women. The simDiiffcation of house
keeping in the fiat. If accompanied by the
offer of attractive quarters. ought TO DO
this.

The difference in the readiness with
which some people succumb to yellow fever
as compared with others has often been
a matter Of comment. during the great
epidemic OF 1858 In New Orleans sos deaths

gers from the West Indies. Mexico and
South America The death rate of 30
among strangers from Austria" and 32S
among strangers from the Netherlands
represented the other extreme. and offered
a strange contrast to the data first quoted.
Munson does not believe thai there is such
a thing as absolute immunity due to racial
stock At best, he is disposed to coneede
only a partial immunity, and he regards
this largely the result of birth and resi-
dence in the countries where the disease
is common.
A number of bacteriologists have sought
to develop serum for the treatment of
yellow fever but without any substantial
result thus far Though several experts
have claimed that they had Isolated and
identified the microbe peculiar to the dis
ease the pretense lacks confederation. The
disorder is communicated In such a way
that the existence OF a germ IL strongly
Indicated. but the fact has not been dem

of an antitoxin will be practically impos-
sbie. For the present, prevention Is the
great resource Of che medical profession.
and. IL ii Is only adequately utilized. there
will be no need of a cure. An epidemic
like that from which New Orleans is suf-
fering is, in the light of recent disccy
cries, disgrace TO civilization.

Making Preparations for the Good
Roads Convention to Be Held in
That City.

"The people of Pendleton are max
ing big preparations to entertain the
visitors to that city next Monday and
Tuesday when the Good Roads conven-
ton is to be neld," said General Agent
Robert Burns of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company, who returned last
night from business trip through
Umatilla county. Every indication
points to the convention being one of
the best ever held on the Pacific coast
and the Commercial club and the citi-
zens in general are looking for a large
attendance of out of town people. An
excellent program has been prepared
for the meeting, which includes ad-
dresses by many prominent men of the
states of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho.
Secretary Wilson, who is at the
head of the agricultural department of
the United States government, and a
large number of the good roads Off
Gals will be present and it is expected
that Secretary Wilson will make an
address. An invitation has been ex-
tended to the o. r. & N. railway Off

RAINS BENEFIT PRUNES
Estimated That From One third tc
One half of Crop Is Safe.

1SIHIdhS0 OHS.InIF 10
One-haIf of Crop Is Safe.
Instead of only harvesting one-quar-
ter of their prune crop, fruit growers
Of the valley are now estimating that
they will save from one third to one
half Of the crop, with the chances fav-
orable for saving even a larger per-
centage than this.
The heavy showers of the past few
days seem to have neutralHed in a way
the destructiveness of the heavy frosts
of a week ago and fruit growers who
looked upon their prune crops as al
most an utter loss are now of the
opinion that they will be able to save
at least 25 per cent more of their
crops than they figured on week ago.
On this calculation the heavy rains
the past few days have been worth to
the prune industry at least 1000.
More favorable reports have been re-
ceived from the state line district
where it was estimated by several
growers that 80 per cent Of their prune
crops were destroyed. It is now
thought that at least SO and perhaps
so per cent of the crop can be saved.

and insisted that the California Develop and have no control over No. 5's affairs. "The elimination of Chaplin" was the slogan nf :he California Development Company cohorts, and they left no stone unturned to accomplish their purpose. w. F. Holt was chosen by them as their candidate to unhorse Chaplin and suc- ceed him in the presidency.
 Alas Alas, for all their might and power, their first choice, upon whom the mantle of Chaplin was to fall, was the only candidate who was defeated. The great California Development mountain labored and only brought forth the busting of its choice. Mir. w. F. Holt; and not only was the obnoxious Chap lin trumphantly reelected, but the special antipathy of the California Development Company, Mir. George w. Boutwell, was crammed down the California Development Company's throat, just to sort of rub it in, for pernicious interference in No. affairs.
 The sentiment which resulted in the election of Bothwell, however, may have been somewhat crystalized by the resentment of the people to Mir. l. w. Gleason's attempt to "butt in" and help the California Development Company to fasten it's grip upon No. 5, just as it is fastened upon No. l.
 The No . election is instructive to the whole Valley, in classifying and showing the allegiance of Gleason to the California Development Company's cause.
 An analysis of the votes for Holt is interesting reading for those anxious to know the entangling alliances of Messrs. Holt and Gleason.
 The supporters of and voters for Holt were 1. W. Gleason, who had secured proxy for 80 shares of No. stock and spent the day singing the California Development COmpany's praises and
