UNION PACIFIC EXEMPT.

Interstate Commerce Commission Al
lows Protest to Stand.
Washington, May 14.-Because it is
1900 miles from St. Paul to Spokane
over the Hartman railway system and
only 300 miles over the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific, the Inter
state Commerce commission today
modified its recent decision in the Spo-
kane rate case, exempting the Harri-
man roads from adoption of the rates
fixed by that decision as to st. Pau
traffic. This decision was made posi-.
BILE only by the fact that no direct line
from st. Paul to Omaha was a party tt
the Spokane case.
The commission, however, is unwil
ling at this time to grant similar ex
emption to the Hartman system OF
freight from Chicago to Spokane, be
cause the Northwestern and Burling
ton roads, which connect with thu
Union Pacific system at Omaha, wer'
parties to that case. However, th'
commission temporarily postpones it
order as to Chicago-Spokane rates owe
the Union Pacific, giving the Hartman
roads opportunity to establish new
rates from Chicago to all territory be
tween Pendleton and Spokane.

Kansas City, May 15.-A series of
tornadoes in Kansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma late yesterday killed at least
five persons, injured 55, laid waste one
town, wrecked a train and did great
damage to property.
Twenty-Five persons were injured by
a storm that swept over Mount Wash
ington and Fairmont park, suburbs of
Kansas City. At least two of these
are thought to be fatally injured.
The town of Hollis, Kan, near Con-
cordia, was swept away. Here three
were killed and 10 injured.
Near Great Bend a tornado killed
two and injured 20.
All wires are down in that vicinity,
and it is feared the death list may be
greater.
William Ackerly, Santa Fe engi-
neer, and Frank Nicholson, a conduc-
tor, were killed while with bridge
gang between Great Bend and Kinsley.
The tornado wrecked the work train
of which Ackerly was engineer, and
blew it into ditch. Several members

Missoula, Mont, May 15.-Under a

At conference held today by Off
cials of the general land Office, the fol-
lowing tentative scheme was decided
upon for the registration and opening
of the Flathead reservation, in Mon
tana, Occur d'Alene in Idaho, and the
Colville in Washington. The Flathead
reservation contains about 1900, ,00C
acres, the Coeur d'Alene about 400, 600
and the Colville about 400, ,000. All
three reservations will be ready fol
opening this summer, and all three OF
them will be opened at the same time.
Registration poiuts will only be estab-
lished at towns where there is United
States land Office, and all registration
points will be for all three of the reser-
vations. The registration points will
be Missoula, Kalispell, Occur d'Alent
and Spokane.
The registration period will probably
begin July 10 and end -on August Is
thus giving five weeks opportunity fol

its vicinity into which liquids drain.
Frequently privy is located within a

the water table rises to the surface of
the ground. as it always does during
the winter in Western Oregon, all sur
face water is contaminated, and, as the
water level lowers, the open wells be-
come reservoirs for the drainage.

an open we'll only serves the purpose
of preventing the caving in of the

Corvallis.
The condition in which I find water
received from various parts of the state
warrants my calling the attention of
the public to the unsanitary conditions
which must exist surrounding their
water supply. Some samples of water
taken in storile bottles under asceptic
precautions, contain as high as 63, $50
germs per cubic centimeter IA teaspoon
holds about five cubic centimeters of
water and an ordinary drinking glass
about 225 cubic centimeters). A glass
full of such water would therefore con-
tain 4,305, 500 living germs. While
it is true that many varieties of these
germs are not directly disease produc-
ing, the continued introduction of such
large quantities of them into the sys-
tenn lowers vitality and increases sus-
ceptibility to the disease producing
types when they gain access to the
body. Water containing 80 many Or
ganisms carries also, in solution, the
ptomaines from the putrefaction of the
organic matter in which they grew.
These large number of organisms gen-
orally find their way into open wells by
surface drainage and where they car
pass, 80 may the disease producing
types pass also.
The waters from driven wells are
comparatively free from organisms
An open we'll is an abomination and il
not in keeping with our present under
standing of the laws of sanitation.
The question arises, how can we bet
ter our condition. Where we'll is tn
only means of obtaining water, let i
be dug to the water bearing stratum
wall it up with brick laid in cemen
for ten feet, arch it over with tn
pump pipe and arch well cemented in

tramped down and the result will be
bottomless brick jug, deep unde
ground, into which no surface water
worms nor animals can penetrate. Tn
water from such well is as pure a

from the eggs deposited by flies, from
this they pass into the pupa stage and
again emerge as flies with the return
of warm weather. These flies enter
our.. dwellings, walk upon our food and
directly transmit the organisms from
excreta to our food. Contamination
does not cease at that, for we have
definitely proven that the organisms
which the flies take into their bodies
from the excreta are not destroyed by
their digestion, and passing from their
bodies with the excreta the germs util-
ize this excreta for food and multiply.
Therefore a fly speck containing fifty
germs will increase its numbers fifty
fold.
If perchance the organism happens
to be the typhoid bacillus, a fly speck
upon an apple, or other food, will
eventually contain thousands Of germs.
This we have conclusively demon
strated by Matching flies in a sterile
box, then feeding them with bread or
sugar saturated with cultures of the
typhoid bacilli, then allowing them to
excrete upon apples. cabbage leaves,
other material that gives off moisture.
The fly speck, after some time. as
sumes the form of colony and is
found to be loaded with living typhoid
bacilli, showing that they had passed
through the fly uninjured and had null
tiplied abundantly in the fy's deposit.
1t is we'll known that milk is an
ideal food for typhoid bacilli, and fol
that reason should be well guarded
from the invasion of flies. Keep fiies
out of the house, especially that part
where food is kept.
