 IN ST. PETERSBURG
Especial from United Press }


 St. Petersburg, June 7.-st. Peters burg Is to-day beginning to reap the harvest of cholera deaths that's she sowed last fall. The disease, which never completely disappeared even dur ing the midwinter. is now breaking out at an alarming rate in many parts of the city and threatens the worst havoc in years.
 The health authorities are fighting the cholera in the same half-hearted manner that marked their work last year.
 No attempt has yet been made to estimate the number of patients, many it is thought. having been permitted to remain for days in scrowded dwell ing houses.
 The city is indescribably filthy and investigation has shown that the River Maya. the city's sole water SUD- ply. is infected with the bacillus. Physicians here predict an unpre- cedented epidemic and express the. fear that it will sweep all Europe. There are now several hundred cases in the city.

Everyone would be benefited by taking Foley's Orino Laxative for con- stipation, stomach and liver trouble. as it sweetens the stomach and breath, gently stimulates the liver and regu- lates the bowels and is much superior to pills and ordinary laxatives.

the first of tue week these two

Editor Writes Obituary Last

LACK OF BUSINESS
CAUSES SUSPENSION
Mr.. Dallam May Move Plant

Publication.

The Loomis Prospector has sus-
pended publication. After strug-
gle lasting over a period of nearly
twelve years, during all of which
time he has worked faithfully and
long for the upbuilding and adj
vancement of the camp, Editor
Dallam last week announced that
he was ready to quit. The Pros
pector was the oldest paper in the
county, and during most of it's
existence the best Since its in
ception no chance has been let slip
to boost Okanogan county, and
especially that part of it sur
rounding Loomis, for Dallam is a
good writer and experienced
newspaper man and has given his
home town his best service. In
spite of this fact, however, the
Prospector has been practically
without support from the begin
ming. For some reason the busi.
ness men Of Loomis could not ap-
preclate the service they were get
ting and with but few exceptions
their names were not TO be found
i'll the advertising columns Of the
home paper.
Just where Mr.. Dallam will de
eide to locate has not been given
out as yet. There have been
rumors of his coming to Oroville.
but no definite arrangements have
been made to that end as far as
w ehave been informed, and we
are inclined to doubt that he has
his eye on this place. He has a
first class plant, and in seeking
out location will probably look
to some of the larger towns Of the
state. At least we would imagine
that he was possessed of suffi-
Gent Okanogan county experience
to last for while. In any event,
wherever he may decide to locate,
Mr.. Dallam will have the best
wishes of this paper and a great
majority of the people with whom
he has had business relations dur
ing the past twelve years.

Northwest News Notes.

SEATTLE, Jan. 26,-Two bills
affecting Medicine and the heal
ing profession have already ap-
peared before the legislature,
and enough more are proposed
to keep busy the committees on
medicine, dentistry, surgery and
hygiene. The first bill provides
for a state health commissioner
at salary of $1,000 a year, and
gives the appointment to the
board of health. The second bill
is a measure to create a state
board of osteopaths, without sal
ary, to regulate the practice of
osteopathy in the state. The
osteopates are opposing the first
measure, claiming that if a new
s., 900 Office is created the gov
ernor or some other impartial
person should make the appoint
ment, and not the state health
board, which is made up of med
ical practitioners.
A bill will oe introduced in the
present session of the legislature
to prevent the burning of slash
ings during the period of the
Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposi-
ton next summer. The object of
the proposed Legislation is to
keep the atmosphere clear dur
inr the time people from all parts
of the globe will visit the North
west
The proposed law has beec
endorsed by the management of
the exposition, and it is pointed
out that it will not be a hardship
on farmers and others clearing
land, as the debris can be piled
up and burned the following
simmer.
1t is desirable that the thous-
ands of visitors to this state dur
ing the exposition should re-
ceive the best impression posi-
BILE, and the beautiful scenery is
one of the most attractive fea-
lures. With a clear atmosphere
the scenic beauties of the coun-
trh will be at their best during
the entire time of the exposition.
