through a hole in the anterior end.
The total cyle then of fly is about
ten days. The number of eggs laid
by a fly is about one hundred, and it
is estimated that pound of horse
manure will furnish breeding place
for twelve hundred flies. The refuse
from cow stables is rarely or never
used by flies for depositing ovae.
House flies cannot bite, as their
mouths are only fitted for tapping
or procuring food by suction, and no
piercing. The stable fly is the biting
fly and is only found in houses before
rain. The two, however, are so SIM
liar in appearance that you cannot
distinguish between them.
Files are peculiarly susceptible to
fungus diseases as well as to parasite
diseases, and die by the millions be-
fore their allotted span of life is nor
mally run, but their prolific breedings
keeps their numbers each summer on
the increase.
''rhe part they play in communicat-
ing diseases cannot be estimated.
tuberculosis is perhaps the most
common and most fatal. While most
of our typhoid is water-bOrn, still flies
play a considerable part. The summer
bowel disorders of children are largely
due to flies.
Not only in cities, towns, and viii
lagos should manure heaps be removed
or kept in tight containers, but every
farm barnyard should be sprayed with
lime. Put chloride of lime in every
cuspidor. Remove every empty can
from back yards and cleanse them by
throwing on fire. Clean up all piles
of decaying vegetables land fruits.
In the cities keep the garbage cans
tightly covered and the outside scrub
bed clean. In country privies, sprinkle
freely with chloride of lime or with
Paris green mixed with ashes. Let
every house be screened. Swat the
fly, is good dictum, but far better,
clean up and prevent his production. "
Vital statistics are given by counties
for January, February and March.
For some reason no marriages were
reported from Hood River county dur
ing that period. Twenty-Five births
and 16 deaths were reported from
Hood River county during the
quarterly period, the figures being just
-about one per cent Of those for the
entire state, which were 2,237 births
ard 1923 deaths.
The board of health is making an
effort to have all physicians have
all cases of tuberculosis reported to
it, in conformance of the rules of the
board. Portland has an ordinance re-
quiring every physician, school, church
or householder to report tuberculosis,
under penalty of heavy fine. No
cases were reported from Hood River
county during the first quarter but
four deaths from this county were re-
ported as a result of the disease.
Three cases of scarlet fever made
up the balance of Hood River county's
part of the report.

WOODWORTH CLAIMS
KING MISREPRESENTED

G. d. Woodworth claims that con-
tract involving $4,000 was obtained
from him through false representation
made by Herbert Booth King, of Port
land The charges against King were
made in an answer filed by Wood
worth to the suit brought against
him by the Portland Public Market &
Cold Storage Company to secure pay
ment of $40, 900 worth of stock alleged
to have been purchased by WOodworth.
Woodworth says that King came to
him in September, 1908, and represent
ed that the c0ld-tsOrage company had
been organized in Portland with
capital stock of 5000, 600 and that King
was treasurer and general manager.
WoodwOrth says that King told him
$l70, 600 ofthe stock had actually been
purchased by prominent citizens of
Portland.
WoodWorth says that under these
presentations, he agreed to purchase
$40, 600 worth Of stock on the condition
that King succeeded in selling the
same amount to other fruit growers
at Hood River.
Woodworth adds that King never sue
ceeded in selling any stock to other
Hood River farmers and that by the
terms of his conditional purchase, his
own subscription to $40, worth is
null and void. He says he has also
found that the prominent Portland
business man" mentioned by King had
in fact not subscribed to single share
in the company.
The above is the substance of an ar
ticle which appeared in the Portland
Telegram, Saturday. The King re-
ferred to has been Unidentified with the
promotion of a number Of unsuccessful
propositions and was recently in
Jail in San Francisco, where he had
gone on his honeymoon.

BOARD OF HEALTH
"SWATS THE FLY"

The first quarterly bulletin for 1910
issued by the Oregon State Board of
health, contains much valuable in
formation and advice. The offer is
made to examine free, all public water
supplies. The pamphlet contains the
following on Plies:
"At this season of the year, Oregon
should join the majority of the states
of the Union in a systematic campaign
against that common disease breeding
pest, the fly.
This insect lays its eggs preferably
in piles of horse manure, but in the
absence of that in decaying vegetables,
garbage cans, empty fish, fruit and
vegetbale cans that are such common
decorators of back yards and vacant
lots. These eggs are long and white
and hatch in few hours. The larvae,
white maggots, grow rapidly, cast
their skin twice, and attain their
full growth in five to ten days. The
outer skin then hardens, swells out,
turns brown, and within the true
pupa is found. This stage lasts four
or five days when the fly energies

HOOD RIVER MAIDS
IN FIELD MEET

According to the Salem Statesman,
the co-eds of willamette University
rose early one morning last week and
after taking look at the comet held
a track meet and base ball game be-
tween the hours of three and five when
they were safe from the gaze of all
things masculine. 1t is understood
from the meager reports that the
Salem paper was able to get that a
number of records were smashed.
Misses Jennie Edgington and Pearl
Bradley, of Hood River, were promi-
nent figures in the meet. Miss Edg-
ington acted as one of the officials and
played shortstop on the Lausanne Hall
base ball team which won the game.
Miss Bradley took second place in the
100 yard hurdle.
