At tie BIjou.

"A Runaway Match" is proving a pop
ular attraction at the Bijou theatre this
week. This clever farce comedy is just
the sort of entertainment for a crowd in
search of light amusement The plot is
fresh and originil, the complications
highly diverting and the denoument
pleasing. The father of a grown son
elopes with school girl His son elopes
with the girls mdther and both couples
meet Unexpected. in a little country
Inn from which there is no hope of es-
cape until the next morning. AS neither
pair is married, attic posing as married
people, 1t is easy to see how the fun
wakes fast and furious. Many schemes
are tried and abandoned before the last
act is reached. Then it is that the mis-
mated couples make an exchange The
young people get bgether and the elders
discover that they are deeply in love
with each other. In this way a satisfac-
tory conclusion is reached.
The company presenting "A Runaway
Match is well balanced and presents the
play in a pleasing manner. Mr.. House
and Miss Maud Scott acquit themselves
well. They are given fair support
Robert Harty and Johnny Johnston are
winning much applause this week with
their vaudeville sketch. They sing num-
Der of songs. Both have good voices.

Plans will be adopted at once looking
to the charity hospital to be erected in
Birmingham, according to the plans out
lined by the health committee last month.
As soon as the race for the legislature
is settled the committee will take up
the matter Of framing a bill providing
for an election to be held to decide
whether bonds shall be issued to cover
the cost of constructing and maintaining
the hospital.
At a meeting of the health committee
Tuesday afternoon the matter again
came up for consideration and a resou-
ton was unanimously passed appointing
a committee of the whole to take action
on the matter and to devise ways and
means of getting the hospital.
At the meeting of the Jefferson County
Medical Society Monday night Dr. E. H.
sholl, chairman of the health committee,
presented a report on the action taken by
the health committee last month in regard
to the hospital. With very little discussion
the Medical Society adopted a resolution

to the health committee to devise plans
for securing the hospital
When the committee met Tuesday at
ternoon Dr. shol reported the action Of
the Medical Society, and the committee
decided to act as a whole in the hos

committee when the matter was first pre-
scented. legislation will be necessary to
provide for ways and means of building
the hospital A bill will be drawn grant
ing Jefferson county and the city Of Bir-
mingham the right to issue bonds to build
the hospital, provided that majority of
the people vote to issue the bonds
1t was stated at this meeting by prac-
tically all the physicians present that Blr-
mingham, more than any city in the
south, needed a large hospital, devoted
strictly to charity work. 1t was said that
at present 1t is practically impossible to
get a patient into a private charity hos
pltal In Birmingham; that there was a
clear demand for a charity hospital.
The committee will lose no time in get
ting the matter in proper shape.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL TESTS MADE
WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS.
SAMPLES OF WATER ARE
FOUND IMPURE.

In the report of Milk Inspector Duncan
for the past week great improvement is
noted in the quality of milk and the con-
dition of diaries. However, the water
from some OF the private wells and one
spring in this locality was found to be
contaminated with bacteria. The depart
ment is now equipped for meteorological
tests and will collect samples OF either
milk or water as requested and make
full report upon the condition of the
same. Below is the weekly report:

Escape From Flat Top.

The police department here has been
notified that two convicts escaped yes
terday from the mines at Flat Top. One
was a negro woman named Hannah Rem
bert and the other was Charles Thomas
alias Charles Lowery, negro. Full de-
scriptions of the escapes are given, and

All of the above samples were tested for
boric acid and other preservatives, with
negative results.
One specimen of blood for typhoid, mega
tive.
One culture for diphtheria, negative.
Two specimen of blood for malarial
parasites, negative.
Two specimens of sputum for tubercle
bacilli, both negative.
Several samples of water from hydrants
in the city water system in the neighbor-.
hood of Fourteenth street and Fourteenth
avenue, south, were tested and only
very few bacteria were found to be pres
ent.
A sample of water from spring near
this locality was also tested and found
to be very grossly contaminated with bac-
terra. This pollution is probably due to
surface drainage. My advice to people
who may have been using water from
this spring would be to discontinue the
use of same.
A sample of water from a well at Tenth
street and Seventh avenue, north. was
tested and found to be very grossly con-
taminated with bacteria. ! would not ad-
wise the use OF water from this well, es-
pecially for drinking purposes.
Sample of water from well located at
Seventh street and Third avenue was
also tested, which was not very salts
factory
Any one in the city limits using water
from wells who might have reason to be-
1ieve that the water from such sources
might not be pure. owing to too low
location, and other unfavorable surround
ing conditions, If they will let us know
we shall be glad to get samples and make
tests of the water 1t Is necessary for
us to collect the samples for the tests,
as same have to be secured under special
precautions, in sterile bottles, and so on,
in order to make a correct test.
During the week we went out to several
of the diaries and collected a number
of samples of milk as soon as the milk
had been drawn under proper conditions
of care, and in sterile bottles. A proper
meteorological test of these samples
showed only a very few bacteria pres
ent. This shows what can be done in
the way of reducing the number of bac-
terra In milk to a minimum if properly
handled
Considerable Improvement was noted in
condition of diaries inspected since last
inspection. Respectfully submitted,

CONTRACTING PRUNES
Crops From Many Benton.
Orchards Already Sold Big
Orchard Among Them,

Most prune growers in Bentor
have contracted their crops. In
many instances the buyer is Tilson
the Salem packer. o hers have
sold to LaSal1e Brothers of ALBANY.
The latter are increasing their
packing plant, having purch asedi
the Corvallis processing machinery.
The latter was sold by reason of;
the fact that the increased opera
tions of the Kaupisch creamery
untilized the house in which the:
processing plant was quartered,.
and its removal thus made neces-
sary, suggested and consummated
its sale.
The present quotation on prunes
is 3 1-2 for 3o.4o's. Some have
been contracted. ;.on a basis of 4 "a
for 3o-4o.s. Among other crops
that have been sold is that on the
big prune orchard. The yield there
is estimated at 10000 bushels or
200, 900 pounds of dried fruit. The
largest yield ever made by the or
cbard was 600, 900 pounds of dried
product The figure at hich the
coming crop in the big orchard was
contracted, has not been made pub
lie, but it is believed 10 have been
favorable one.
The crop generally Is one of the
biggest in the history of the prune,
if reports are to be credited.

AFTER FIFTY YEARS.
No More Exemptions of Tax
es to Househo1ders New
Decision.

No more household exemptions
are to beallowed taxpayers. A $500
exemption has been allowed every
taxpayer since the year 1859. with
the exception of 1904, but decis-
ion of the supreme court says the
practice is unconstitutional, and
will have to be abandoned. Asses
sor Davis has already begtin the
work of cutting it out of this years
roll, and Robert Johnson has been
employed to assist in the work. The
roll, with the exception of the four
Corvallis precincts. was practically
completed, and the changes entailed
by the decision will involve much
trouble and labor. The usual ex-
emption has been allowed on every
assessment made. and has been en-
tered in the proper column on the
assessment roll. The subtraction
has been made from the gross val
uation in the assessment, and the
proper result put in the total tax.
able property column. With the
exemption banished. there is no
need for an exemption column" on
the roll, and no need for the same
reason of "tota1 taxable proper.
ty" column as now used. which is
the column after the deducti on OF
exemption has been made from the
gross valuation column. These
two columns have now to be cut
from the roll. and the chan ges wilt
not only involve much labor but
will spoil the appearance of the
book. 1t has to be done however,
as result of the mandate from the
supreme court.
The exemption provision of the
law was a statute enacted when
Oregon was yet territory. Itwas
passed In 1855, and its desig n was
: to aid the homeowners of those
,, early times when the maintenance
of family was supposedto deserve
! especial privileges as contrasted
