FARMERS FLOCK
TO THE PACIFIC

All the farmers of America are
coming west during September, ac-
cording to A. D. Charlton, assistant
general passenger agent of the
Northern Pacific.
Crops will have been harvested
and the money for them paid to
the farmers said Mr.. Charlton.
THAT will be their time for taking
vacation. They will come west
and to the A-Y-P exposition with
every pocket filled with money.
And they will spend the money,
too.
Farmers are the best spenders
in the world After they have
worked hard all summer to har-
vest their crops they consider
themselves worthy of a vacation
and they take it in the proper
style. There is nothing stingy
about our rural residents. Besides
the long winter with but little to
do is coming and they want some
thing to talk about. Coming west
will give them all the material
they need for extended conversa-
tions over good many evenings
before the fire"

OREGON'S WAR CLAIM

The full amount of Oregon's
claim for money expended for mil
itary purposes during the civil war
was s356,271.61. The amount al
lowed by the court of claims May
8. 1909. was $193,543.02. The
amount allowed was less by 1852,
1859 than the sum which the
state expended
This amount, s356,271.61. was re-
ported December 8, 1889, to the
congress by the secretary of war.

actually disbursed by the state on
account of volunteers and state
militia raised by the state at or
about the time of the civil war.
The secretary of war showed that
that full sum had been so ex-
pended
From December 8, 1889, this
claim Of Oregon remained in
statu quo, other states from time
to time procuring appropriations
from congress to reimburse them
for their expenditures of nature
like that of Oregon involved in this
claim. Congress failed to appro-
pirate the sum named as the full
claim, although several times the
appropriation therefor was placed
by the senate as an amendment
on general appropriation bills,
which amendments failed to carry.

DEAD ENDSv AND jim
HILL MUSTARD

Dead ends are live issue in the
South Mantle district west of Divi-
sion street. The South Mantle
Park Improvement club last night
appointed a committee to see Com
missioner Reuterdahl tomorrow
afternoon and obtain whatever re-
lief Is possible. Sometime ago
small drain pipes were attached to
the dead ends, but these are not
attended to, and the water in the
mains becomes foul. The club be-
lieves that installation of fire plugs
that could be opened occasionally
would furnish protection and serve
as means of cleaning the water
mains.
The club will also seek relief
from Jim Hill mustard, which weed
is appropriating the sidewalks. An
other committee will wait on the
street commissioner and urge that
trails at least be carved through
the mustard that the resident may
be able to find his way home.

TOXIC, Aug. 3.-The spectacu-
lar achievement Of Bleriot, the
French aviator, in crossing the
English channel in his monoplane,
and reports of the successes of the
Wright brothers In perfecting an
aeroplane adaptable to military
service. have aroused the imperial
government to establish a provi-
sional aeroplane association which
has been advocated by the general
staff for several years.
The plan, as outlined in the gov
eminent memoranda issued recent
ly, is to enlist the services of all
Japanese aviators under the SUI
pervision of the naval and military
authorities, to attempt the design
ing of air craft adaptable to both
naval and military services. The
entire experimental expenses win
be met by the government and
large money prizes will be award
ed those aviators solving the prob
lens of air navigation.
The government plan has been
received with enthusiasm and prac-
tically every japanese aviator has
enlisted in the association.

so per cent of the recruits from the
rural districts of the Carolinas,
Georgia, Florida, MISSISSIPPI, Ala
bama and Louisiana will show hook
worm infection.
While General Torney had found
the trouble caused by the hook
worm, DR.. Simon Flexner at the
Rockefeller institute in New York
found an identical mIcrobe In
serum from victims OF the deadly
African disease. Mice, guinea pigs
and rabbits infected with these
microbes died with all the symp-
toms of sleeping sickness.
Sleeping sickness mace its first
appearance in Uganda, africa, in
1901. Since then more than 100000
negroes in Africa have been killed
by it.
The only difference between the
two microbes is that the African
hook worm is larger than the
American, and the tropical climate
makes laziness so much more in
tense that the disease ends in
death.
The cure for the American form
of the lazy bug disease, General
Torney believes, is simple. Clean
beds, clean food and fresh air are
necessary. Salt injected into the
blood vessels helps, and copious
drinks of buttermilk will complete
the work. All kinds of flies as well
as mosquitoes should be kept out
of living rooms and be avoided
when outdoors.

Torney believes he can make the

Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Physi-
clans all over the world are await
ing with great interest the report
of Surgeon Gen. Geo. H. Torney
of the army, because In that re-
port he will announce a discovery
that is relied on to Danish forever
the scourge of sleeping sickness"
Gen. Torney has made a life
study of the hook worm, or So
called germ of laziness. Now he
believes that the little microbe
with the hooked end is RESPONSE
BILE for more laziness than any,
thing else known to science. Also
for the fearful sleeping sickness. "
Experiments on soldiers from
Porto Rico, the Philippines and
in this country convince Gen. Tor
ney that the tsetse fly is not di-
rectly responsible for sleeping
sickness.
When, recently, scientists at the
Rockefeller institute of New York
made the same announcement, the
report was ridiculed. But. Gen.
Torney bears out the Rockefeller
institute report.
The hook worm germ IS carried
about by the tsetse fly, and the
germ, not the fly, causes the dis
ease.
The hook dorm is the lazy bug
of the micrObe world. 1t has been
corralled and even photographed
by Gen. Torney. Drops of blood
of infected lazy persons show the
little hook worm mingling with
the corpuscles in myriads.
The medical name FOR the hook
worm is uncinariasis.
LaZiness of many recruits from
Fort Slocum induced Gen. Torney
to start his work there. Out of
140 lazy soldiers, 100 were found
to be infected with the hook
worm. 1t wasn't the fault of the
soldiers that they couldn't learn
to handle a gun any quicker. II
was the fault of the millions OF
hook worms in their bodies.
The hook worm disease has
been familiar to negroes of the
south for years, as well as to ma
tives of Porto Rico. During the
occupation of the island by United
States troops the spread of lazi
ness was noticed.
In America infection by the hook
worm is not fatal. But In Africa
the germ does not stay in the
blood. 1t enters the spinal column
infects the spinal fluid and finally
paralyzes the brain. The result
then is the deadly sleeping sick
ness" which has killed SO man,
Africans. In Nairobi and Naivasha
where Roosevelt Is hunting, tn,
sleeping sickness has wreaket
great ravages.
Fears for the lie of Roosevelt
were voiced recently by Professo
Frederick Starr. the noted edu
Gator Of the University of Chicago
Professor Starr warned Roosevelt
against the disease, which he hat
noticed on his last trip through tn,
Kongo.
