ARE BENTON COWS DISEASED?
Movement on for Cleaning up
Herds ds-TuberculoSiS.

Fancy giving milk to a baby
to drink and Thereby injecting
the child with tuberculosis! Or
using milk in your coffee or for
cooking purposes that contaius
germs of this most dreaded dis
ease! The mere idea is one that
is sickening, yet such things hap
pen.
, According to the Portland
Telegram war has been declared
by the state board OF health on
cattle infected with tuberculosis.
Aulmals with the tuberculosis
are often used as milS cows.
This milk contains tubercnlar
germs and the disease is in this
manner contracted by those who
drink the milk or use it in their
food. An infected animal will
also spread the disease to other
animals in the herd, and the
germs will linger for long time
in 1arns where diseased animals
are kept.
Inspections have been made of
the herds at the sta,e insane asy-
lum and state prison at Salem,
and many of the animals used as
milk cows have been found in-
fected. These have been order
ed destroyed, and a careful watch
kept on the remainder of the ami
mails.
Directions have been given
county health officers throughout
the state to make inspections of
milk and cattle, and whenever
they detect the amin ais infected
with tuberculosis to have them
killed. The officials manifest
considerable interest in the mat
ter, and the board of health ex-
poets that in the future reports
will be obtained from the various
counties covering the condition
of every dairy herd in the state.
1t may take months or even
years to do this, but the me NJ
bers of the board are determined
to succeed.
DIR. J. w. Harris of Lane coun-
ty is regarded as one of the most
active officials in the state in his
efforts to detect contagious dis
eases among cattle, and have
them slaughtered. In November
he had two cows with lump jaw
killed, and two in December.
During January he discovered
three tubercular dairy cows, i'm
mediately condemned them and
had them put out OF the way.
DR.. Harris in his report to the
state health board says:
81 shall use my utmost endea-
vors in matters of this character
to eradicate even the possibility
of the disease, as lar as the law
may sustain me in doing so."
Members of the state board of
health have commended Mr..
Harris for his activity and are at
tempting to get other health Of
fcers to follow his example.

HIS FAREWELL.
Hon. w. c. Hawley Takes Leave
of Student Friends.

With pathos au1 hum or, N en-
ories aud remiu scences of old
days. p oye:bs and ailegory, love
and enthusiasm tor Old William
ette aud all that her associations
have meant to him. Professor
Wi lis c. Hawlev. congressman
elect for this district, gave his
f ,rewell address in the university
chapel, to the students and in
stitutions of "Old Willamette"
and thereby severed his connec-
tion with her IN his official capa-
city.
1t was quite an impressive GER
emony when Dan Mathews of
the college of liberal art, in a few
short and we'll chosen words in
troduced the long beloved and
honored professor. There was
silence in the chapel that could
be felt. 1t seemed as if every
student felt a personal loss and
realized that the place now va
cant could never be filled.
Though everyone was glad that
Professor Hawley en-ers a new
and wider feel in which he may
win honor and renown, it was
with regret that they saw him
sever his connections with the
institution.
Professor Hawley has always
had a warm heart for the stu
dents with whom he came in
contact. His was personality
that attracted and Influenced for
the batter those around him. He
could win and retain the conf
dence and regard of the student
where others failed. His has
been a lite that has inspired and
encouraged the lives and ambi-
tions OF large number of young
people who felt the force Of his
personality within the halls of
"Old Willamette"
At first indulging in some re-
miniscences of boyhood days be-
fore and alter his stay at William
cite he continued in part, as fol-
lows:
''It is the joy of doing work.
of working instead of indulging
in pleasure that gives the great
est and best satisfaction. In my
work for the last fifteen years
have been pushed onward toward
something better, and have been
led to something broader.
"My love has been divided
between nv, earthly mother
and my alma mater. 1t is
pleasure to meet old pupils, now
in the midst of the battles of life,
who can say with a tervent clasp
of the hand, you helped me-
There is an indelible ambition
burning in every soul to be some
thing. Do not sit down and say,
pa like to be like such a one,'
but say, 4 have as good blood in
my veins and as good a chance as
any, Nothing is better than
service done here. The service
to society is greater than money
or professional call.
1.-THE world is not so corrupt
as it seems to be. 1t wants men
and women of equipment and
quality for the hour. To these
comes the honor and power. 1t
the material of the bonfire is not
good the light will not shine for
long. We each have our bonfire
to build. Let us see that we
make it good''-Statesman.

APPROPRIATION INCREASED.
Congressman Mudd Wants More Money For
Naval Dryd0cks.

Congressman Sydney T.. Mudd, OF
the Fifth Congressional district, yes
terday succeeded in having the sub
committee in charge of the naval APP
preparation bill increase the item for
a floating dry dock from 81, $50, 900 TO
81. 400, 000, the Navy Department i'm
dorsing the action.
The lower estimate Of last year was
based on n dock suitable for naval
vessels of IS, 600 tons displacement, and
this estimate was repeated in this
years annual estimates. The larger
estimate was made in view of the i'm
creasing possibilities of our having
naval vessels of 10000 tons displace-
ment, or greater, and the fact that
other nations already have sGcn yes
sells.
An immediate appropriation of
500, 600 on the basis recommended
would, the Department thinks, en-
able the Department to advantageous
ly commence such work at once.
