BAR PUBLIC DRINKING CUP
Strict Rule of State Board of Health
Effective September 1.

The noxious public drinking cup is
TO be banished from Oregon, Septem-
her l. The order is from the state
board of health, and applies to public
schools. trains, railroad stations and
all other public places. The rule of the
hoard now in the hands of the state
printer, will be issued in few days
and then served on all who have here
tofore supplied or been responsible for
the use of the public drinking cup.
Proof that the public drinking cup
vies with the fly as a spreader of dis
ease is abundant, says DR.. Calvin S.
White, state health officer. Germs of
pneumonia measles, scarlet fever ty-
phoid and tuberculosis are thus trans
mitted from mouth to mouth, and in
fecton and sickness is natural Sc
quence.
The ruling of the state health board
is expected to have a revolutionary eff
feet. Public school pupils will need
to be provided with individual drink
ing cups and drinking fountains must
be installed. On the trains there will
have to be individual drinking cups, |
also in the stations. DR.. White, ac-
cording to the Portland Journal, says
the rule of the state health board will
be rigidly enforced 1t reads as fol-
lows:
Whereas, 1t has been proved be-
yond doubt that the use of the COM
mon drinking cup is responsible for
The spread of many infectious and
diseases, particularly is

THINKS SOCIALISM is CURE
Polk County Farmer Writes of Waste
of Soil Material.

DALLAS, Or, April 1O.-(To- the
Editor Soil fertility is the word
} around which hinges the existence OF
man, or of life geenrally. The farm
er gets good share of blame; in fact,
the only one, for robbing the soil of its
/ fertility-while his way of robbing is
mild compared with the system of
robbery by the combined humanity
Every pound of food taken from
the soil finds its way into the stomach
of man, in some form or another. Is
that agreed? Well, every three
| fourths of it then finds it's way into
the limitless ocean by way of the
sewer-hole. Is that agreed? Now,
who robs the soil-the farmer, or hu-
manity?
Dallas alone sends out daily at least
two tons of soil material on it's way to
the ocean, and so, looking over this
broad land of ours, is not the amount
of soil material washed out into the
ocean daily and irreparably, just stag
gering?
is 1t of greater importance to start
correspondence school with Mars, or |
to send an air-fieet up to the moon,
forbidding her the broad grin when
full,) than to discover and stop the
leak through which humanity's very
existence is endangered?
Our comparatively virgin soils West
are only half productive; East, barren
wastes, and for this state of things a
snless sinner has to be found, and
there he stands. your Honor, guilty;
mis- conscience betrays him-the farm
er.' Yes, your Honor, because he
1oes not know the greater sins of
1our Honor-the Public
Editors, scientists and inventive {
;eniuses should endeavor and combine /
heir efforts to preserve the mountains a
II soil material for our soils instead I
Il washing it out into the mighty T
eep, where, no doubt, it is not appre-
lated at all.
Just give the Socialists a chance at
ne helm once, and they soon will turn s
cience into servitor unto humanity '
nd waste into benefaction. b

THE woLvERroN DECISION.

Judge Wolverton's decision in the
Southern Pacific land grant suit, II
sustained by the higher courts, will be
of far-reaching importance to Oregon
and the entire Pacific Coast, as it will
mean the opening to entry of more
than two million acres of agricultural
and timber land, valued at from $6O.-
100000 to $7O,000,00O. 1t will mean
thousands of new settlers for Oregon
and the development of a vast acreage
which has long been held for specula-
tive purposes.
on the other hand, the affirmance Of
the Wolverton decision would open
the way to almost endless confusion
and litigation. Thousands of acres of
valuable timber land granted by the
Government have been sold by the
railroad company in tracts larger than
l6O-acre subdivisions, and at a price
greater than $3.50 an acre. If all this
timber land shall be forfeited to the
Government, it will mean heavy finan-
cial loss to many individuals and cor
porations, who, buying from the rail-
road company, have in turn sold to
third parties. Many of these buyers
from the railroad company have CIV
en- warranty deeds when selling the
land to third parties The railroad
company, more cautious than these
first buyers, has in no instance agreed
to warrant and defend its title to the
grant lands, but has protected itself
by merely quit-cldiming any right it
might have in each tract sold. There
fore it will be seen that the seller who
has warranted title to the third party ]
on nothing better than a quit-claim {
deed from the railroad company will
find himself in an embarrassing posi-
tion, in the event that the land shall
be forfeited to the United States.
AS to the effect of Judge WoIver- :
tons decision on intervening settlers !
the Court decides that the law does :
not compel the railroad company to ;,
sell to parties who have declared their =
Intention to become settlers. 1t is held :,
that the settlers who have actually :,
taken up residence on the railroad ~
ands have acquired no prior rights or =,
privileges and that the land will not .,
De open to settlement until ii is open !,
I'd by act of Congress. .

last Sunday, j. s. Macomber of Oak
dale was thrown forward by a sudden
iurch of the wagon, and struck his
knee on the head of protruding bolt
with such force that the knee-cap was
split. Although causing him a great
deal of pain, he went out next day and
plowed, but later had to have the
knee put in splints. Today he was

cased in plaster of paris cap, which

ENACTS NEW STALLION LAW
Applications For State Licenses Must
Be Filed by May 25.


eThe new stallion law which wa,
passed oy the last session of the legis
lature will go into effect May 25. Tn,
stallion board has been organized ant
plans for the work are being made
but no licenses will be issued until af
ter May rs. Stallion owners should
however, get in their applications be-
fore that date.
IL viii pot be possible to register
and have examined all horses in the
state in day or two, so that some
time may intervene between the re-
ceipt of the application and the issu-
anee of the license. 1t is not expected
that the owners stop using their
horses during that period, but it is ex-
pected that no horses will be used af-
ter May rs, until an application for
license has been made.
Animals having county licenses win
also have to get state licenses under
the new law, as there is no connection
between the state licenses and that is
sued by the county. Money paid for
county licenses will not count toward
securing state licenses Copies of the
law and application blanks may be
obtained from the secretary of the
board at Corvallis 1t is not neces- |
'ary, however, that the applications be
made on the regular blanks. A letter

'ary information is included. All an
'iications must be accompanied by the
10 fee, and in case of registered
lorses' by the pedigree certificate.
'hese pedigrees will be returned. For
