DIR. SAMUELS STATES THERE
rs DANGER OF EPIDEMIC
Two Cases Develop at Home of E. H.
Brown, Where Rigid Quarantine
Has Been Placed in Effect

With the development Of two more
cases of scarlet fever in the past two
days, Dr. Samuels states that there is
danger of an epidemic of the dis
ease in Winnemucca. So far the
eases have been light, and the physi-

demic it will probably not be very
serious one.
The last two cases of the disease to
develop were in the home of f. H.

disease at the home of j. J. Brown
is improving nicely and will be entire
ly well in few days.

better, make a quicker and hotter
fire and last better, says the Yakima
Republic. People in the east are
gathering them up in wagon loads
and storing them away to burn this
winter while coal is so high.
But no one in this part of the coun-
try foresaw a fuel famine long enough
ago to have a crop of black walnuts
to harvest this fall to burn. The few
trees with which the experiment of
their growth in this climate has been
made show that they will grow and
produce a good crop in this valley;
but 1t takes so many years of growth
before they begin to bear that peo-
pie here have used them only as
shade trees.
But, just the same, a walnut grove
in this neighborhood would prove a
paying investment, for the trees will
thrive In rocky ground that would
scarcely be used for anything else.

This Man Has Freak Pear.

n. 4. Horton, farmer living two
miles east of town, has one of the
greatest curiosites of the age. He
has a pear tree that has grown fruit
without seed or core. In some few
pears he has found the rudiments of
a core, being a series of small fibres,
but nothing in the shape of seeds of
any kind. This tree Is one of lot
purchased seven years ago from the
Louisiana Nursery at Louisiana, Mo-,
but II Is the only one that has shown
itself to be such a freak, says the La
Crosse Herald.
Mr.. Horton gives a newspaper ar
ticle credit for his discovery, for
while he has been using fruit off the
tree for several years, this is the
first time that he had thought about
looking into the matter thoroughly
and this was brought about by read
ing an article in one of the papers
which stated that reward of $12,-
600 would be paid for n "Seedless
Pear" tree. His tree is not for sale.
but If any way can be found for
propagatin trees he Is ready to show
what the tree can do. He brought
one of the pears into this office Mon
day, and sent to the Milton Nursery
at Milton, Oregon, for examination
and classification. This fruit Is well
shaped in all respects, but 1t is all
fruit, that is about all the difference
between that and other pears. He
says the flavor is fine, but having
saved only one we did not have a
chance to try that.

English Sparrows Appear.

c. p. Beard, who is somewhat OF
an ornlthologist, claims he discov-
cred upon Sherman street building
three English sparrows yesterday
morning. He says he is well ac-
auainted with the sparrows and rec
ognized them at once, says the Occur
dAlene Press.
Some time ago several appeared
In Spokane when the city authorities
took steps to destroy them which
was successfully carried out, The
sparrow is very destructive to SONG
birds, driving them out or destroy
ing them. This is an opportunity fol
the mayor to write an elaborate ad'
dress or to issue proclamation
placing them under the ban.

Freight Is Far Behind.

Those who complain of inability
to procure cars for shipment of
fruits and other freight from this
point east are not alone in their i'm
patience over this car shortage en-
barrassment, says the Yakima Re-
public. Merchants here say that they
have been waiting for eastern freight
for more than a month since it was
due. Some of them have written to
inquire about it in the fear that it
may have been lost but the likeli-
hood is that they will find 1t has not
been shipped on account Of lack Of
cars. 1t is reported that eastern
freight shipments are abandoned in
large measure, where it is possible
to supply cars imperatively needed
for the immediate shipmnt of west
ern produce for anxious markets in
the east 1t Is hoped that in this
change Of plan, which, of course, is
only temporary the fruit shipments
may be hastened from this and
neighboring districts Much loss will
be averted thereby.

children the belief in the realty of San ta Claus.
 There are many others, on the other hand, that are quite evidently written by the scraWling, uncertain hand of childhood. They are addressed to the good saint at Iceland, North Pole, Toy land, Lapland, Reindeer Town and ev- cry other place, imaginary and other wise, dear to the heart of childhood.
 Major Futile, acting as agent of the society, opened few of the letters yesterday for the benefit of Journal Courier readers. They were, at one and the same time, humorous and pa thetic.
 One read: Dear Santa Claus-Will you please bring me a magic lantern and firemen's suit and a boat and the other things to suit yourself" This one was printed throughout.
 There were two that had evidently come from two little brothers whose one absorbing wish was for two pairs of shoes. Judging from the district of the city where they came from, the letters were from children that were really deserving.
 One from little girl read: ''Dear Santa-T have not much to say. l would like to have my doll dressed in green coot, pads and pencils and a new quilt for my baby's father go- cart. Please bring brother choo-choo cars"

 After the reception to commanders aboard the Mayaower, when Admiral Evans was about to take his leave, the president followed him to the gangway and then called him aside for nearly five minutes of earnest consultation,
 In the midst of the reception to the higher officers he sent for the coxswain of the Louisianas launch and through him dispatched a special message of greeting to that ships crew It was on this ship that the president jour neyed to Panama. As the coxswain was leaving, the president said:
 T tell you our enlisted men are ev- erything, They are perfectly bully and they are up to everything required of them."
 The Old Point shore and the ram parts of Fortress Monroe were lined with thousands of persons. Others gathered aboard excursion craft and the government pier was a mass of humanity. In the crowd were gathered wives, sisters and sweethearts of off, cers and enlisted men.
 It was peculiarly appropriate, there fore, that when the flagship Connecti- cut swept by the pier the band assem- bled on the quarterback played "The Girl I Left Behind Me-" then "Auld Lang syne," followed by the Star srangled Banner"
