welcome distraction to the minds of the

CITY HEALTH OFFICER
STRICKER ON TYPHOID
Important Things to be Observed to
Prevent Disease.

City Health Officer Stricken has
issued an official communication on
typhoid fever which is important at
this season OF the year. II Is as fol-
lows:
Every state in the union is at
present fading typhoid problem.
Epidemics are reported everywhere
and the number of cases are increas-
ing every day.
Typhoid fever is caused by a spe-
cific germ or organism which always
comes from pre-existing case. The
germ or organism escapes from the
patient through the discharges from
the bowels and the urine. It is i'm
portant that these discharges be dis
infected with a solution of chloride
OF lime, 6 ounces to gallon OF water,
or corrosive sublimate and ammoni-
'um chloride equal parts, two drams
to a gallon Of water or carbolic acid,
creosal, lysal, one and q half ounce
TO the gallon OF water. II Is also
necessary that the nurse should dis
infect her hands after handling a
patient, and should not have any
thing TO do with the preparation OF
food. Everything coming In contact
with patient must be boiled or dlsin-
fected by above solutions.
The germs are carried by the water
supply, milk, dust and flies. Drink
nothing but boiled, distilled or thor
oughly filtered water. A compress
ed stone filter such as the Pasteur-
Chamberlain type ia germ proof II
properly taken care Of All milk
utensils should be scalded and thor
oughly rinsed with boiled water.
Questionable milk should be ster-
ilized by boiling or pasteurlzation
To prevent infection from dust al
ways dampen rooms before sweeping
and use only damp cloth 10 remove
dust. Houses should be thoroughly
screened from flies and all garbage
or refuse should be burned or tho
oughly buried
II these precautions are taken
there need be no fear OF typhoid
fever, and II is the duty OF every cltl-
zen to see that these precautions are
taken. All violations Of these rules
OF hygiene should be reported TO tho
local health officer The health OF.

Musicians for Grants Pass.


Prof. Fields has opened a studio
in the L. B. Hall building for the
teaching of piano. He has been en-
gagged by the music committee Of
the Newman M. II. church to take
charge Of the music and instruct the
choir and also organize chorus
from among the younger generation
OF the church. Mr.. Fields comes
from Medford and when he completes
his term Of music there will remove
to Grants Pass.
F. H. Applehoff, of Roseburg, for
the past 18 years leader Of the Rose
burg band and Instructor and teacher
Of violin and cello, will remove to
Grants Pass the fore part of April
and take up musical work in our
midst. For the past year or more
Grants Pass has been without a band
and II Is now hoped that this condi-
ton will no longer exist. This city
has many excellent players on the
various instruments and It is believed
Mr.. Applehoff will organize q band
which will be q credit to the whole
state. ~,

DIR. CARTER BUSY ON
THE McKEEL RANCH
Sold Property to go East but Changed
his Mind and Re-invested on
Applegate.

Since our last issue there hac been
an important real estate deal closed
by the Best-Fuller company. 1t Is
fhe sale OF a ranch belonging to L.
w. d. McKeel on the upper Apple
gate to Dr. w. ]. Carter. This ranch
contains 234 acres and is known as
very fine property. All but ten
acres OF II is under irrigation. The
soil Is adapted to both fruit and al
falfa and has always been very pro-
ductive. This farm has fallen into
good hands and It will be heard from
In the future.
DR.. Carter recently sold q place
three miles down the river, which he
purchased less than two years ago
at somewhere from $4,000 to $4,000,
and which he sold at about $4,000.
after improving II to some extent.
His intention was to go east and To-
cate there. but he happened to meet
Mr.. Best. who told him about the
McKeel ranch and induced him to
90 out and look at II, and after a
careful examination OF the place the
doctor decided to purchase It. Many
have regretted that DR.. Carter con-
templated leaving this country and
the fact that he is now to remain
with us will be good news to them.

The securing and furnishing of
these quarters has been another ma
terial benefit, providing, as it does,
suitable rooms for the Ladies' Auxili-
ary, and too much can not be said in
appreciation of the good work ac-
complished by that organization.
The secretary's office has received
upwards of 1000 letters, of inquiry
direct, in addition to several times
that number furnished by the Port
land Commercial Club. In all in
stances literature or letters, or both,
have been sent to them.
Property to the value of $1,000
900 has changed hands during the
year, thousands of acres have been
cleared and planted to fruit, hun
dreds Of desirable citizens have been
attracted to our midst, improvements
to roads have been advocated. the
attention of capitalists has been at
tracted, the improvement of our
streets has been a matter which has
received the earnest support Of the
club, the long needed depot has been
secured and is now in course of con-
struction.
Eighty thousand pieces of litera-
ture bearing the name of Grants Pass
have been circulated directly through
the clubs efforts, and we are just
beginning to receive returns from
this publicity.
The granting Of an electric rail-
road franchise to John R. Allen by
the city council was heartily en-
dorsed by the club. which action was
much appreciated by Mr.. Allen.
The financial condition OF the
club is by far the most flattering in
Its history. We have added over
$500 in the way Of furniture.
In conclusion / desire to thank
the Board of officers and trustees for
their assistance and counsel. and the
members for their generous support,
and the numerous committees for
their untiring energy and efforts to
make the Grants Pass Commercial
Club a factor for good in the develop
ment OF our city and county. Re.
spectfully submitted,

ATHLETICS OUT FOR RECORD.
Mack's Men Aim to Win More Than SO
Games.

Philadelphia. Sept. 15.-With the pen
nant assured, the aim of the Athletics
is now 70 beat the American league
record for the number of games won,
g. by Detroit in 1909 and then land
the worlds championship by trimming
the Chicago Cubs. The outlook is good
for both propositions, and when it is
all over and the highest honors in
baseball have been won, the enthusi-
asts can be excused if they insist on
branding the combination as the best
ever in the history of the game in this
city.
To be sure. this claim will be dis
puted by some of the old-timers. who
remember the teams that have gone
before, including not only the two 9TH
err winners that Connie Mack has sent
over in the American league, but Billy
Sharsig's champion Athletics in 1888.
and also the original Athletics which
won the baseball championship of
1871.
Then too. a. comparison must be
made with the many good teams which
have represented the city under the
name of the Phillies. for while they
We're never guilty OF winning a pen
nant, some of them have looked like
champions and were unquestionably
very strong baseball ma chimes. But not
forgetting the merits of these great
teams Of the past a pretty good argu-
nenI can ne put TO snow that none OF
them had anything on the present Ath-
letics.
Of course there have been players
who We're famous in those bygone days
who, could they be rejuvenated, would
strengthen the present Athletics nota-
bly, such pitchers as Ferguson and
Waddell, such catchers as Clements
and Robinson. or even stars such as
Laioie, Delehanty and Stovey; but
taken team for team, manager and
all that bunch of hustlers out at Tween
ty-first and Lehigh streets this sea
son would ask no faVors of any of
them.
Mack is still at his best as a man
ager probably a little better than ever
before, since he is the kind that never
stops learning. each years experience
adding something of value TO him in his
chosen calling. while his players con-
stitute as nicely rounded out ball
team as is often gotten together. 1t
is a team where stars are lacking, but
where good ball players who help one
another may be found in abundance
There is just enough seasoned ma
teral distributed among the young
blood to make the right balance with
the result that the team as a whole
never knows when it is beaten. 1t is a
band of pinch 1itters with nary
gutter in the whole company.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
MARKET UNCERTAIN.
Ondertone Heavy and Weak-U. S.
Steel Led Transactions.

New York, Sept. 16.-Hesitati ton and
uncertainty were written on the face
of the stock market today. The under
tone was heavy and sometimes weak.
but at other times there was evidence
of resistance power and signs Of sup
port which implied a protective influ-
ence.
The transactions in United States
Steel We're more than double those in
any other one security and when deal
ings in Reading and Union Pacific
were added. there was not much left
of the rest of the market. The great
preponderance Of the operations in
United States Steel gave that stock
large sympathetic effect on the gem
eral market Discussion of the iron
and steel trade, in fact, occupied much
Of the attention of those dealing in
stocks.
The hopeful spirit of the remarks of
Chairman Gary of the board of direc-
tors, upon his return from abroad was
penetrated by the scrutinizinc to the
reservat tons contained in the forecast.
The weight attached by Judge Gary
10 politics as a restraint OH business
activity did not allow an inference of
hopes of early activity in the trad de.
1t was preceived, also, that the chair
man dwelt on the accumulation of old
orders as the source of any prosperous
activity at the present time. and a cas-
ual reference to only half our capacity
per day in new orders" was seized
upon for unfavorable deductions. There
was very lnSistent talk also, of an open
cut in prices Of steel products in con-
temptation. The absence of official in
formation on the subject weighed on
the market. Some offset to this in
fluence was the report on European
copper stocks, showing a decrease in
two weeks of upwards of four million
pounds and bringing the European Wis
ible supply down to the lowest level
touched in a twelvenonth.
The exports Of copper from New
York for the past week were reported.
at the same time, at 10,4s3 TONS COM
pared with 5,141 in the corresponding
week of last year. Copper securities
in London were faVOrably affected by
this showing, and We're given some
power of resistance in the New York
market. The preliminary estimates Of
the weeks currency movement were
interesting rs indicating a balance of
receipts over shipments of currency
by express from the interior. The
loss of cash on sub-treasury operations
of S6.053,00O seems to be thus reduced
to little over 100000
The favora BILE crop reported for corn
was q sustaining factor. The signs of
support for the Hartman stocks on
the decline turned the market and
prompted the covering of shorts which
closed the market strong.
Bonds We're easy. Total sales. par

were unchanged on call.
