WASHINGTON, July 25.-No longer
is smallpox to- be dreaded as a fatal
disease, but it is to be regarded as one
in which 499 out Of every 500 victims
will recover Such is the information
gathered by the Marine Hospital and
public health service.
During the past six months, 23.544
cases of this disease were reported to
the service. Out of this large number
only 55 died.
Minnesota is credited with being the
banner smallpox state, having 52O3
cases reported. In all that number
there were only six deaths. Texas has
something of a record along the same
line, 3,0S9 cases being reported from
there, and only one death. The third
state is Kansas, with 1882 cAses and
three deaths.
New York had 631 cases and no
deaths, while Pennsylvania reports

SWUNG AROUND THE CIRCLE
NEY THAT COULD COMPARE
WITH THIS FAVORED SPOT
SAW SOME ELKS.

Me for Gods country for keeps
said "Bnl'' Ritz, the "lone buck from
No. 2S7," who has just returned from
the big meeting Of the Benevolent Pro-
tective Order Of Elks, at Dallas, Texas.
While he was delegate to the Elks
grand lodge and the visit to Dallas was
the principal object of his trip, Mr..
Ritz took a long "swing around the
circle" and what he saw convinced
him that Walla Walla was the only
place on the map really worth while.
'I'll tell you" he said earnestly. "the
United States would be a whole lot
better off if it had more of eastern
Washington, eastern Oregon, northern
Idaho and western Montana in it,"
Leaving here for Spokane, Mr. Ritz
took the $500 line and went through
the southern part of Canada. then
through North Dakota, Minnesota,
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Ok
lahoma, and down to Dallas, Texas.
Coming back he came through New
Mexico, Arizona, California and Ore
gon and he picked up much informa-
tion on his long journey
'"This is without question the most
favored region in the United States -
he continued.
You wouldn't say anything about
poor crops here if you made that trip.
In the corn belt the yield will be way
below normal but little, if any, above
half a crop. In Texas and Oklahoma
the cotton crop will run from a third
to a half of the usual crop and in
western Texas rattle and dying by the
thousands Of starvation The Rio
Grande river is practically dry. not
enough water being in this classic
stream to supply an ordinary irrigating
ditch
"In Lower California many orchards
are dying and the fruit is of such in
ferior quality that the growers are
unable to dispose Of it. There is a
big orange crop in California but the
prices are so low that the groves win
not yield expenses. Vegetables in
California are much behind ours"
Mr.. Ritz stopped two days in Los
Angeles and says that business condi-
tions there are deplorable, every other
business house carrying a For Rent"
sign, while five out of six houses or
the street car lines in the residence
section bears a similar sign. san
Francisco is in much better shape,
but does not compare, Mr., Ritz says,
with Seattle in a business way.
This is the finest country on Gods
earth. There isn't a place I visited
that can hold a candle to the Walla
Walla valley" he said.
Had Good Time.
Mr.. Ritz had the time of his life at
Dallas. The visiting Elks, of whom
there were some 1900 were treated
royalty by the citizens Of that place.
Although Mr.. Ritz was a lone buck"
Walla Walla and Washington did not
lack for advertising, and the question,
where in hell is Walla Walla?"
wasn't asked very many times in
Dallas.
In the big Elks' parade Mr.. Ritz
wore the biggest Merry Widow hat
ever built, the hat being the present
of a Minnesota manufacturer. He
brought the hat home with him-that
is, he turned it over TO che express
company for delivery here.
About a dozen Elks from the state
of Washington were in attendance, but
Mr. Ritz had the distinction of rep
resenting Elkdom of the entire state
in the parade, the other delegates pre-
