al aviation circuit, somewhat on the
order of the baseball organizations
may be the result of the conference
between Cortlandt Field Bishop, pres
ident of the Aero club of America anG
representatives of several of the large
eastern cities, which are seeking tC
secure the coming international aeria
events
Thereafter, mere flying machine eX-
hibitions as an attraction will be sem
into oblivion and actual contests, ma
chine against machine, starting at the
crack of a pistol, will take their place
Also, it is said, large guarantees tc
secure aviators will be things of the
past
Having demonstrated that man car
now actually fly, the day of exhibit
tions of that ability is gone, Mr. Bish-
op believes, and on his arrived in New
York tomorrow or the day after, he
will set to work on plans to govern
aerial sports.
One of the chief rules-one desig-
mated to compel aviators to really con-
test-will provide that there shall be
no guarantees. This will shut off such
princely retainers as Paulhan received
for his work here, and aviators who
get no prizes will get nothing beyond
expense money. This rule, it is said,
will be the chief topic of discussion
at the coming conference.
1t is believed that aviators will null
tiply so rapidly henceforth that such
a rule can easily be enforced.

REPORTS FROM FARMERS ARE
THAT FALL SOWN GRAIN
UNHURT BY Freeze
RECENT CHINOOK WINDS HAVE
THOROUGHLY THAWED OUT
THE GROUND Is SAID

DAYTON, WASH Jan. 23.-(SpeciaD
One thing revealed by the chinook
is the fact that fall sown grain has
not been injured by the month OF
cold weather in southeastern Wash
ington and eastern Oregon. Reports
being received here are that very lit
tie damage has been done. 1t is stat
ed by farmers here that grain in the
ground shows an excellent growth with
indications for a heavy stand and har-
dy growth when warmer weather
comes. Only the fact that three falls
of snow came at opportupe times dur
ing the cold spell, prevented a loss
of thousands of dollars to farmers in
the Inland Empire. On the other
hand freezing and thawing is said to
be beneficial to ploWed ground. Weeds
are expected to be scarce this year.

THE SMALLPOX CASES
REPORTED AT EVANSTON

Editor Trounc-In your issue of Feb
ruarS ] notice an article from Ogden
In which Evanston Is severely criticised
as 10 the manner In which they quaran-
tine for smallpox, and the statement is
made that many cases Of smallpox are
coming from Evanston TO Ogden.
Now the facts OF the matter are that
Ogden and other Utah points have sup
piled Evanston with smallpox for the past
ten years. Ten years ago We had the
first cases here for many years pre-
cases 10 Ogden. in 1904 there was a
colorcd man found In the railroad yards
here with smallpox and ON inquiry as
10 where he came from he stated that ne
came from the Ogden pest house He
was isolated and we had no cases fol-
lowing. In 1907 thero was n carpenter
government building AT this place. He
knew that he had been exposed TO small
poN, yet he worked among his fellows
and succeeded i'll Injecting three of them
with the disease. Early In the summer
of 1908 thcr" WAS DrlcRlsyer came to
Evanston from Ogden 10 work ON the
state hospital at this place \ few days
after he took sick With smallpox. anG
knowing What he had. kept quIcr and
shortly after went TO work Soon his
wife took down and the matter was re-
ported 10 the health authorities and they
were auarantined. Six cases resulted
from this, In juno OF 1909 grading
foreman working for the Union Pacific at
Spring Valley, Wyo;, went to Bounti-
reported sick. Soon after his return he
broke out with smallpox, lie was prop
erly taken care Of and no cases fol-
lowed.
Our present epidemic: which started
the la tier part of November. 1909, result
ed from an Evanston family visiting
Utah We have at present but one fam
lly quarantined. We are positive that
no cases which were reported TO the
health authorities have been permitted to
go as stated by the Ogden correspond
ent There may have been one or two
cases gotten away from Evanston with
out ever consulting doctor. II this
Is the case tt simply means that chickens
are going home TO roost.
Utah has had the smallpox for the
past tcn years and will have IL for
long time in the future, and will he able
to supply many states simply because
they do not compel or advise. their pco-
pie to he vaccinatcd. which Is the only
rational way To treat smallpox. So We
would suggest TO the Ogden authorities
