Board Of Health Calls Attention 10
Alarming Conditions
MANY CASES IN UMAT|LlA COUNTY
BAD WATER Is SAID TO BE RE'
SPONsIBLE FOR SPREAD
OF DISEASE.

Sanitary conditions in Eastern Ore
gon are attracting the attention of the
state board CT health of Oregon. In
several districts the situation is con-
sidered serious. and drastic measures
are being taken to prevent wide
spread epidemic of typhoid fever. This
is especially true in Umatilla county,
where 20 cases and three deaths have
been reported, all traceable to bad
drinking water, is the report that
comes from Portland.
In the annual report of the state
board of health, attention was called
to the peculiar natural conditions ex-
listing throughout Eastern Oregon,
which offer the most favorable means
of propagating and spreading of ty-
phoid germs. During the dry season all
wells and streams become very low
and the surface water is Slapped from
the soil, carrying with it in solution
all sorts of impurities. Just the oppo-
site conditions also frequently hap
pen. Extremely heavy rains wash the
surface filth into wells and streams.
Eastern Oregon has recently ex-
perienced a heavy rainfall and men,
bers of the board are of the opinion
that this is the immediate cause of the
present pollution of the water supply.
In order that the people may know
how to combat the further progress OF
typhoid the state board of health has
prepared a list of directions for general
disinfecting and sanitation in the af-
f1icted districts. 1t is said that sur
face deposits are largely responsible
for the spread of the disease, because
of the ease with which such refuse is
washed into neighboring water sup
plies.

MAY ADOPT UNIFORM NATIONAL SEAL
Governor Mead Thinks 1t Good Scheme
to Have Seals of the
Same Style.

In a letter to Governor Mead, A. J.
Falknor, assistant attorney general,
advises him that it rests with him to
approve or disapprove the form Of a
notarial seal, states an Olympian re-
port. The governor asked whether a
notary could change the form of his
seal and he submitted the proposed
form to the attorney generals office
Mr.. Falknor finds that the proposed
form complies with the law inasmuch
as it contains the required engravings
but says it is for the governor to ap-
prove or disapprove. 1t is suggested
that uniformity of seals is a good thing
and the governor may bring this
about if he chooses.

NEW YORK, July 9.-"Would mil

GUESSING the plan of Mrs Sarah Plat
Decker of Denver to make plutocrats
serve as city housekeepers.
Mrs. Decker, as a voter and as head
of the General Federation Of Women's
Clubs. talks from both sides of the
question. In a recent address she i'm
plored men who had achieved a for
tune and who were the community
ablest citizens, "to become governors
of states. mayors and officials of cities,
and to serve without pay or hope OF
emolument out of pure love of hu-
mainly"
THAT might work in the west, where
men are on a more equal footing and
where they are a less problem in ma
tionalitv than in New York." said Mrs.
Burns, but in New York foreigners
participate largely in the government.
It is doubtful if millionaire officials
would make a success of it here. The
rich man might do what he thought
thew wanted and err. Then, suppose
vour man of wealth was not morally
fit? The careers of our mllllonalres
