Board of Health Takes Decisive Meas
urcs to Purify Eugene Water.
The state board of health which
visited Eugene this week to assist in
checking the terrible epideu ic of ty-
phoid which has been raging there for
the past two months, has recon
men ded the publication of all drink
ing water by sterilizing and boiling
and will cooperate with the city
authorities in cleaning'up the city and
improving conditions in every way.
A special from Eugene to Portland
paper says:
The members OF the state board Of
health arrived here this afternoon, and
have been in cnsultation with The
mayor, citizens and physicians in re-
gard to the recent epidemic of typhoid
and the manner and success OF its
treatment. They will also confer
with the officers of the water company
and a committee of citizens on the
matter of selection of new source of
water supply for the system in opera
tion.
The board found at once that vigor-
GUS and intelligent action was taken
throughout the city for stamping out
the disease The physicians united in
recommending measures for boiling
and steriliz;ng all food aud drink.
The injunction was acted upon, and.
as a result, the county physician is
able to report that in the shortest
time possible, or that acknowledged
as the period of CESSATION, the disease
was under control.
For week now there have been no
new cases, and it is confidently stated
by all physicians that the epidemic is
at an end. Tomorrow the board will
view all available sources of water
supply in this vicinity, and the offic-
ers of the water company have ex
pressed their intention of utilizing
for the water mains that supply which
the state board shall deterumine to
be pure and absol utely safe for do
mestic use.

OFFERS $500 FOR ROAD.
Big Farmer Wants Government Road
Built Adjoining His Farm.

Big Farmer Wants Government Road
Built Adjoining His Farm.
The highest bid SO far received for
the mile Of model road, which the
government is going to build, was
received yesterday in a communica-
tion to the county court, says the Pen
dleton Tribune. It was from George
Carmichael Of Weston, and be agrees
to give $500 and furnish plenty Of
good rock free of charge, if the road
be built adjoining his farm. He says
the rock is within few rods of the
proposed road.
In closing he says that he hopes
that the court will give his PROPOSE
tion due consideration, and If he does
not get the road, that the commission
ers will be able to get more from some
other individual.
Mr.. Carmichael is a good roads en-
thusiast Of the first order, but it is
doubtful if he will succeed in having
the road built at his farm, since be
lives about five miles north of Weston,
and not close to any railroad. The
cost of getting the machinery to the
place would therefore be very great.

sive scale and will necessarily require
considerable expense. We will tear
away the wooden portion of the build
ing at the corner of Third and Main
streets, and construct new brick
building one and one-half stories
high, extending back to the alley.
The present brick building now oc-
cupied by the dry goods depar rtment
will be carried up half story to con-
form with the new building. In do
ing this we will be accommodated
with two double deck store rooms.
This improvement will give ample
space for carrying huge volume of
goods. -
Mr.. Mosgrove was seen at the o.
R. & N. depot yesterday noon and was
on his way to Pendleton. He reports
crop prospects along the lines of the

It is understood here that Charles
Belts will be the business manager for
the new company. MIR. Belts has
been here since the store was burned
at Helix last fall, Of which be was

Mosgrove retires from the business,

NEW COMPLICATIONS ARISE.

Sunday Closing Question Agisates Pub
lie Mind at walla walla.
The Sunday closing question has
complications for the ordinary citizen
that the m embers of the city council
at Walla Walla did not think about
when framing the law.
So closely are the saloon men and
cigar dealers watching each other that
it is almost impossible for a man to
go into saloon and get drink with
out carrying the family bible aud a
sworn certificate of bis age with him
for the benefit of the bartender.
The ministers have again been
brought into the controversy because
of the fact that it was shown that
they can perform marriage cere-
mony in which one of the participants
is under age with out suffering from
the law. or losing their articles of
ordination. Therefore, the saloon men
say the ordinance which takes away
a mans saloon licens for selling liquor
to minor who states he is of age. is
class legislation and therefore uncon-
stitutional.
1t is said that the saloon men are
going to take action on the question
raised by the privileges granted to the
ministers, but just how they are going
to do it has not been revealed. The
saloon men have been reticent so far
in their moves, as have been the deal
ers, but the question has assumed such
a strong position in the public mind
that it is said their plans will gradu-
ally leak out.

TakesupLe

Pendleton, March S.--According to
0. G. Edwards, agent at the reserva-
tion, the application for leases which
were recently fled with the Office will
be taken up next Monday aud disposed
of as fast as possible. Notices are
now being sent out to the different
parties who made applications, ask
ing them to appear at the agency for
the purpose of making the leases.
Different dates have designated for
them to come, 60 as not to have all
the business come up at once.
The announcement that action is
at last to be taken upon the applica-
tions will be welcomed by those de-
string to secure land. Considera Bile
complaint has been made by the
lessees over the delay in the matter, as
during that time there has been
general uncertainty as to what would

be done, and intending renters have
been unable to make any plans. Also,
spripg work has been pressing for
some time, and they are anxious to get
their leases perfected SO as to COM
mence plowing.
Thus far the only leases that have
been made are some that have been
filed since Major McKoin's time and
which for that reason were taken up
before the applications recently made.
Since the applications are to be
taken up Monday 1t would seem that
the question of leasing will now soon
be disposed of, and those who are
anxious to secure Indian lands will
learn their fate within the next week
or two. According to Mr.. Edwards,
he will place applicants in legal pos
session Of the land as soon as the leas-
es are perfected here and sent to
Washington for approval.

Over 1900 Japanese soldiers, with sixty
officers, released prisoners of war, who

appreciated. as many OF the recipients had
not seen their national flower since the
war broke out.
Oranges. cakes and sweets wero also
given to the men by the members of the
German Red Cross Society, who. with the
officials from the Japanese Legation and
two officers representing the Kaiser. met
them at the station.
The Japanese were dressed in tho fur

BRETON PEASANT
MIRACLE WORKER
Many Said to Have Been Cured
OF Ills by Imposition of
Hands.

bRESl, jan. o. 4
Making the blind to see. the deaf to
hear and many other marvellous cures
effected by the laying on OF hands are
attributed to man named Saltzmann,
who has acquired an extraordinary repu-
tation throughout Brittany as worker
OF miracles
How much of his reputation is due to
Breton credulity and how much to his
own powers is difficult to say; but hun
dreds of persons are flocking to him to be
cured.
He has been staying for the last fort
night at Huelgoat. where he is credited
with over 200 cures. The only condition
necessary to success is faith in his pow
ers. He even claims that he can cure
from a distance and that letter writ.
ten to him with faith will bring restora-
ton OF health.
A case is recorded of miner whose
sight was destroyed by an explosion Two
days after he placed himself Under Saltz-
mann's care he is alleged to have re-
covered his sight sufficiently to find his
way about without assistance and to dis
tinguish colors.
A disabled wrist. the result of a bicycle
fall, touched by him became strong and
the pain and stiffness vanished.
The people of the neighborhood swear
that they know him to be genuine.

noticed that his hands were hard and
rough, though he had never consciously
done days hard work.
a bullock-driver passed him shortly aft
er his awakening. and he at once inquired
the way to Los Angeles. The man stared
in astonishment, and answered that Hill
End was the name of the nearest town

asked the date, and was told that 1t was
late In October and that he was in New
