HEALTH Of CITY
NEVER BETTER
NOT SINGLE CASE OF
INFECTIOUS DISEASE HERE
Report of Health Officer for Month
of February Shows Pleasing Con-
dition - Pendleton Has Been
Healthy Since Inauguration of
Cleaning up Days, Two Years Ago.

Not a single case of contagious dis
ease was reported last month to the
city recorder. This shows a remark
ably good state of health for the city
at the present time. In fact the
healthy condition for the whole win
ter is remarkable. Very few cases of
infectious or contagious diseases have
been reported during the whole win
ter and these have been of a mild
character. The only cases that have
come to the attention of the city au-
thorities have been three cases of
diphtheria, one or two cases of ty-
phoid fever and one or two cases of
small pox.
The healthy condition that now ex-
lists began Immediately after the cru
! sade by the women Of the town
against the filth that had been al
lowed to gather in the back yards Of
the various residents of the city. In
this undertaking were enlisted the
leaders Of the different clubs and the
results have been accomplished by
them have been wonderful. Accord
ing to the records filed at the city re-
corder's office the decrease was no.
ticably great from the time the first
cleanup was made
On these cleaning days the whole
/ city is supposed to take a partial hol-
iday and give up their spare time to
cleaning out their back yards and
streets in front of the house. Then
the city supplies garbage wagons to
/ haul the refuse off to some vacant
lot and burn it. According to Re-
corder Fitzgerald this money spent in
this way has been the most profitable
that the city has ever voted out of its
Golfers Since the first cleanup has
been made, the event has become an
nual and the results obtained have
been evident
The Infectious diseases that have
been prevalent in former years, rot
ting vegetables and other refuse that
was allowed to gather in the yards
and streets, and in this the deadly
germs were allowed to multiply. Since
this blissful ignorance Of healthy con-
ditions has been eliminated, the city
Is many dollars richer, the people are
healthier, the homes are healthier
and cleaner, and make a better ap-
pearance and there is much less work
for the doctors to do.
And all this is due to the women.

of this grain will be planted next
week, those who are waiting being of
the opinion that, considering the alb
undance of surface moisture. to wait
for the earth to get good and warm
would bring the best results.
That some of the fall sown winter
barley will have to be resown in the
Pilot Rock vicinity and some por-
tlons of Birch creek seems certain,
or at least is claimed by residents of
these districts. A man who has sew
eral hundred acres of winter barley
southeast of Pendleton said that he
had made an examination of his crop
few days ago and that while there
was considerable of the seed that did
not come up, some of this had be-
gun to sprout, Whether there would
be enough come up to make a suffi-
cient stand was the question. Con-
sidering the extreme high prices of
barley. reseeding this year will be
somewhat expensive.

MAY SHIP ALL
WOOL TO CHICAGO
UMATIII.A COUNTY CLIP
NAY NOT BE SOLD HERE
Several Buyers are of the Opinion
That Buyers VIII not Offer Enough
at Local Sales 10 Induce Them TO
Part With Their Holdings-Sheep
Doing Well.

From present indications the wool
of Umatilla county may have to be
shipped TO Chicago for selling. This
is the statement made by several Of
the sheepmen who will have consid-
cradle wool TO sell this year. If the
wool buyers can not make satisfactory
prices for the output, this action will
be taken by those who have wool to
sell.
The buyers are complaining that
the prices are to high to justify them
in making contracts at the present
time and some of them who have
come from eastern and middle west
points have returned without making
any purchases. There has been no
sales day arranged for so far and
there is little possibility of one being
made in the near future. The wool
men have banded together and are
intending to get their own price or
not sell to the travelling buyers.
Sheepmen say that teh sheep are
doing exceptionally we'll at the pres
ent time and are predicting some Very
good times for the coming year.
A number OF ranges are being
plowed up where the sheep have been
accustomed to Craze and the land IS
to be sowed to wheat or other cereals
The sheep men say that the grass is
becoming eaten out and that it will
be more profitable to have a grain
crop to secure a revenue from.
A number OF cattle men in the
John Day country are selling their
cattle and going into tie sheep busi-
ness. 1t has been recognized that
sheep are more profitable than beef

number of cattle have been sold in
the last few months and If the pres
ent rate is kept up there will not be
many left in the country long. This
is responsible to a certain extent for
the high prices of cattle in this part
of the country, which the cattle buy
ers have been complaining about.

Howard will be heard from regularly
on the down east courses during the
summer. With no suspicion attached
to his riding and a determination to
finish the season right UP among the
leaders, Howard looks like sure thing
bet for a topnotch position when the
statistics of the year are made up next
New Years day.
Now that the racing game in South
err California is about to wind UP Its
career 1t seems very appropriate that
all owners. trainers, Jockeys and off,
Gals should get together and boost for
a glorious finish, If such it is to be.
Leave the history of the turf in Cali
fornia as free of faint and offensive
membory as possible. To this end, let
me have a second to the motion that all
unfinished business now on hand, in the
line of scandalous conduct and disci-
plinary cases, be dismissed for want of
prosecution, with reprimands or little
cozy corner chats between the stewards
and the offenders as the limit of PEN
alties. Further scandal at this meeting
is undesirable and will leave a bad
taste In the mouths of racegoers, so
let's cut 1t out. Forgive and forget
and turn over a new page on which to
write the closing chapters of Santa
Anita history.

HERB WHITE DEFEATS
KID BARNES; DECISION
Winner Did All the Aggressive Work,
and Not Until Fourteenth Round
Did Loser Begin
Fighting

SAN PEDRO, April 3.-Herb White
of San Bernardino received a decision
In q f1fteen-round contest with Kid
Barnes of New York at the pavilion of
the San Pedro Athletic club last even
ing.
Barnes pursued his cover up tactics,
while White did all the aggressive
work, chasing Barnes around the ring
In the hopes he would open up.
1t was not until the fourteenth round
that Barnes loosened UP. and then he
went in strong, delivering some crush
ing blows.
The fifteenth round was fast and furi-
Gus and delighted the big crowd of
fans, but Whites aggressive tactics
gave him the decision of Franks, who
acted as referee.
In the first preliminary Moung Hug
of Los Angeles fought six rounds with
Kid Curly of Long Beach to a draw.
Billie Cappele received decision
over Young Herman in the second
event of six rounds. He optweiehed his
opponent and easily outboxed him.

Salt Lake City would not be in con-

Jim Barry writes from New York to
say "hello" to his Los Angeles friends.
He and Sandy Ferguson will hook up
Tuesday night at Boston and then he
probably will go to Paris, where he
has several offers of fights. He says
that If his fight with Langford had
gone two more rounds there sure would
have been an end to the prestige of the
hard hitting and clever negro scrapper.
He wants Langford over longer
route and still believes that he can
whip the coon.
George Mountain, once rated as a
leader in the jockey ranks in this
country, is now exercising and train
ing horses at Louisville for w. III. Fiz-
err and expects to receive his jockey
license within a few days. George is
a real Jockey, no imitation about him,
and If he gets back in the game he
will make all the present leaders hus-
tie like everything to hold their places.
Jockey Page had his first mount in
several weeks yesterday and was I'M
fortunate enough to get the leg on
Bell of Brass, which fell in the second
race after going a quarter. Page was
shaken up severely. but sustained no
serious injuries and rode out his en-
gagements for the day. His return
to the saddle adds materially to the
jockey colony and is hailed with de-
light by the general racegoing public
that is becoming soured on the efforts
of a lot of stable hands since the real
Jockeys were set down or hurt. Page
is among the leaders and will win his
share of races.
Eddie Duke leaves today for San An
tonic to fill the position of starter at
the San Antonio meeting that begins
next Saturday After it ends. he will
go to Victoria to start the ponies dur
ing the sixty-day meeting at that
track. Neither management has made
any mistake in appointing Duke, as
he is experienced in the position, knows
horses and Jockeys thoroughly and will
give the patrons of the sport square
deal and fair break at all times. He
is an honorable and upright oincial ana
will make a record that will reflect
credit upon him before he quits the
business. His successor at Santa An
tia has not been chosen yet.
