according to- d report. issued by the
rational aesociation for the study and
prevention of tuberculosis the report
ing of tuberculosis cases is one oil
the first requisites in the stamping OUT
of the disease. Until the health au-
thorities know where those afflicted
with tub Il culosis reside they are pow
crless to remove the dangers caused py
these infected persons. 1t is now es-
tab.ished that tuberculosis must be
cla.sed with smallpox diphtheria, scar
let fever. or any other infectious dis
ease. This being the case, the report
declares it is just as necessary for the
2u5lic health that it be registered
The most decided step in the regis
tration of tuberculosis was taken liz
1861 by the state of Maryland, where g
law was passed compelling the re-
p"rting of this disease, and in1iicting
heavy fine for non compliance inns
law requires that the star. board or
hoafn pay $1.00 to every physician
reporting a case of tuberculosis, and
also that it furnish him with litera-
ture and preventive supplies for the
use of his patients. This measure
was Influenced by the success Of a
movement started in New York city
in 1897, to compel the reporting of
tuberculosis In 1908 laws modelled
somewhat after the Maryland law
were passed in NV York state and the
district of Columbia. The state of
Vermont had passed registration
law in 1902, and in Washington it has
been a law that tuberculosis be report
ed in the first and second class cities
as early as 1899. These laws had,
however, never been of much service,
and few new cases were secured
through them. Besides these states,
which have direct and special laws
compelling the reporting of tEbercu-
losis, there are six which require re-
porting of tuberculosis as one of the
infectious diseases. They are CalifOr-
mia, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Massa-
chusetts and Utah. For the most part,
these laws are of little value.
The following states and territories
have regulations Of the health depart
ments requiring that tuberculosis be
rported: Connecticut Iowa, Michigan,
Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New
Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Penn
sylvania, Philippine Islands, Rhode ISL
and and Tennessee. These regulations
seldom secure the desired results. The
other states of the union have no laws
or regulation on the subject.

Opening Of the Opera Season.

Interest is indeed keen in anticipa-
ton of the opening of the grand ope-
ra season lat the Keylor Grand soon
Everything points to the most preten
tious society event of the season and
the opera season will be inaugurated
with this city's most elite in attend
ance. Music lovers and social leaders
in large numbers will occupy boxes
lodges and the orchestra and never in
the history of this city has a musica
attraction created such a furore.
The company is without doubt the
greatest grand opera company eve,
brought to the Pacific coast, has a cast
including seventeen principals direct
from the largest opera houses of Em-
rope and featuring a number of the
finest artists in the world. The LON
bardi grand opera company, besides
it's large cast of principals, carries g
chorus of forty, and orchestra of forty
together with minor principals. Seen
cry costumes and all effects were
brought from Italy. This will positively
be the only grand opera company in
the west this year.

"The Girl Question:"

A sample of the enthusiastic praise
accorded The Girl Question" was ex-
plotted by the Askin-S Singer company
of sprightly suffragettes of frolicsome
fun at the Columbia last night before
a record attendance. There was not a
vacant seat from pit to gallery, nor
was there a single moment when dull
care held sway. There is more of a plot
inr'The Girl Question" than is usually
found in musical comedy and there
was with the spasmodic plot vein
of pathos in the love story Of Con
Ryan, manager of a cafe. who loves
unwisely, but too WE'LL Paul Nicholson
as, "Con Ryan" displayed a wide
range of 1908 slang and side talk, and
in response to one of the many encores
he came before the curtain and re-
lated a pointed little yarn.
The chorus comprises really pretty
women, whose singing, dancing and
marching maneuvers are creditable
and catchy The dhoruss are all merito-
rious and the songs refreshing in their
newness. while the ballets bear the
brand of uniqueness, especially the
harlequin dance.

CLEANING UP FOR THE FAIF


At about the last minute the board
of public works has called a halt upon
regrade operations until after the close
of the Alaska -Yukon-Pacific eXpOsl-
ton. SAYS the Seattle Times.
This does not mean, of course that
all work will stop and the streets be
left in their present condition. 1t
means that no new projects are to
be undertaken and no more streets are
to be made impossible.
Every effort is to be made to COM
plete all of the work possible and leave
the streets in the downtown business
section and along the routes of the
TRANSFORMATION lines between the GEN.
ter of the city and the exposition
grounds in as presentable a condition
as possible.
Only such work upon these streets as
is abolutely necessary is to be allowed
between May 1 and November 1. This
is as it should be and the board is
right in issuing this belated order. 1t
is all right to show our visitors that
we are progressive and enterprising,
but it is better to show them COM
pleted results than the dirty side of the
undertaking in it's unfinished stage.
Regrade operations now under way
with their consequent heavy teaming
and unpaved streets have practically
marooned the residents of several dis
tricts of the city by surrounding them
with impossible morasses.
The work is necessary of course. and
will be over within a few weeks. but in
the meantime few men at work on
the croswalks in the daytime, while the
heavy wagons are dragging deep mud
over them. would be a great help to
many taxpayers and at the same time
help out the merchants who wonder
why their women customers are so
seldom seen downtown

THE WRESTLING BOY.

Back in New York there is a bunch
of old fogies who have worked their
way into the columns of the daily
press with an assault upon the boy
who whistles. To the credit of a boy
loving community, however, those as
asilants have met with an opposition
that is almost fierce in it's vigor and
intensity. Admitting bias, we are
nevertheless disposed to say that the
whistlers have the best of tn argu-
ment.
And, indeed. they should have the
best of it, What right has squeam-
ish business, the joyless, scar and
sapless remnants of humanity to as
sail a chief, if not the first among the
constitutional privileges Of the boy?
Has not the boy whistled since time
ran? Is not the whistle the one must
cu accomplishment that distinguishes
the boy from all others of the genus
homo? Would any sane man, who un-
derstands the boy and has apprecia-
ton for the volatile and voluble quail
ity that is in him give a whoop for
the youngster who cannot or does not
whistle?
Let us have done with all this rot
to the effect that whistling is not
music. 1t is no better established be-
cause Paderewski and other savants
have given it their endorsements From
| the full joyous heart of a healthy and
properly tond boy it is among the best
music ever heard, if one has an ear
attuned to it, And in this case, the
quality of the ear depends upon the
quality of the heart. Where the latter
is sound and wholesome the whistling
bow is sure to find a friend and cham

 Beverldge Speaks.
 MT Beveridge then took the floor to present proposition relative to tin plate. It was intended to make the drawback provision of the bill imperative so far as it applies to tin plate. MT. Beveridge explained that within the brief period of 12 years the Standard Oil company had paid s20000, 900 in duties on tin plate, and made 1t into oil cans.
 "I do not offer this amendment be- cause of prejudice against the Standard oil company because of its unpopularity," explained MT. Beveridge. He was moved to take this action. he said. purely as a measure of protection to promote the tin plate industry.
 Suggesting that without the drawback feature 1t had been claimed the Standard oil company would can its oil abroad, Senator Deliver suggested that care should be taken not to injure rather than improve industrial conditions.
 "The United States Steel company are the only people who make tin plate in the United States" said MT. Aldrich, upon moving to lay the amendment on the table.
 Exports In Tin Cans.
 Oil was not the only article exported in, tin cans. Meats of the west, nsh, frults and vegetables were sent abroad in that way.
 "A million cases of salmon,' interposed MT. Perkins.
 "As many more in the state of Maine" added MT. Hale
 "Alcohol," suggested MT. Scott.
 MT Beveridge said if it would pay the Standard company to can its oil abroad with the drawback repealed 1t would pay the company to do so now.
 Why not increase the duty on tin if you want to protect that industry" said MT. Scott
 That would do no good as we now make more than we use and have to ex- port it." replied MT. Beveridge.
 "The Congress is compelled to choose" suggested MT Bailey, "between the two greatest trusts in the United States in this matter-whether 1t will favor the Steel trust or the Standard Oil company. The amendment was then laid on the table.
