aid. This annual occurrence, while
not yet epidemic, shows that the ar
gument that typhoid is not caused by
filth is against the evidence in every
case. AS long as the transient peo-
pie are allowed to make sewers of
the front or back yards, from which
the flies carry 1t back and into the
sugar bowl in the form OF disease
germs, just so long will we continue
to look for typhoid about the first of
September. 1t is no use to agitate
this question. We have simply got
to have the health of the entire vii
lage endangered by a few ignorant
or careless persons who dump their
filth from the chamber windows or at
best carry It little above high water
mark, lacking drainage in their hous-
es, and there is nothing that can be
done but to keep away from that
locality, take plenty of physic, and
refrain from the comment except as
some victim passes from this world
to the next.

Great Building Record.

In residential building the record
of the years construction when full
ly made up will beyond a doubt
greatly exceed that of any former
year, not only In the magnitude of
expenditures but in the number OF
houses erected, while the volume of
reconstruction and repair work ex-
ceeding in many cases the cost Of
the original structure, is practically
beyond computation. Portland's new
building construction is conservative
ly estimated at above 21a millions Of
dollars, practically all the cities and
larger towns are enjoying a building
activity relatively as large, while
carefully compiled returns show that
since last season upwards of $500
summer cottages have been erected
and summer hotels built and en-
larged at an approximate cost Of
$3.50, 900.
