STAYToN AGAIN HAS WATER
City System Working for First Time
Since Big Flood.

Stayton special: For the first
time since the flood of nerrly three
weeks ago, Stayton is today enjoying
a return to city water in it's mains,
which were clogged by a world of
upriver mud and silt in the recent
rise of the Santiam.
All damage has not been repaired,
however, and people here expect to
have the water shut off at intervals
for two or three weeks to come. One
acuse for this is the fact that the

OUR WEEKLY SCARE.
The Unsterilized Baseball.

II BE scare of the week, dear readers
the horrible peril which threatens
this blind and fatuous nation-is the UNI
sterilized baseball The astounding in
brink OF destruction through the shud-
derful dangers of the unpasteurizcd base
ball is mournful to contemplate.
Perhaps you did not know perhaps you
do not even care to know-that the ordi-
nary baseball contains standing room for
1857 .6iS,543 adu.. microbes. In the cas-.
of tubercle bacili. which are slightly fat
ter than the ordinary microbe, this num-
her must be reduced to about nine bill
lion-which. however, is enough for all
practical purposes.
For years the baseball has been regard
ed without suspicion. We have looked
upon it as means of amusement. We
have watched the un-baked pitcher coil
his slisteninS bacteria laden tongue about
his fingers and transfer them calmly TO
the sphere without shudder We have
seen emigrants from his bacteria colony
transferred i'll due time to the hands and
gloves of seventeen ster.ung athletes. who
have. after the game. shaken hands with
fifty admirers apiece. Thus, 10y transfer
enee, the hungry germs which left the
overcrowded premises of the pitcher, will
be by night comfortably settled in the
systems of $50 people. settling new terri
tory and preparing half thousand peo-
pie for the silent tomb
Figures are terrible thing when you
begin to pile them up But let us face
them untinchingly. Each afternoon in
summer 100000 games of baseball are
played in the United States AT each
game $50 people may become infected.
This makes total per day of S5,GDooo
people who may each day become n vic
tim to carelessness which is our national
vice. During the 100 days of the sum
mer baseball season this number would.
be increased To S.oHD.ND.000 people!
And in spite of these awful facts pre-
pared by an expert operator on an add
ing machine. we. as Il people. pursue
blithely our national. unsteriized pas
time, which has acquired new horrors
since the addition of the spit-ball to its
features. Eight billion and more PEG
