CHARBON AND cars.

Last week in discussing char.
bon, we took up the relation OF
the Turkey buzzard, the dog and
hog in relation thereto this week
in resuming the review of DR..
Morris able bullentin, let us see
what he says about the cat, one
of the animals least susceptible
to Charlton.
For 25 days DIR. Morris fec
Charlton germs to cats, without
giving the disease to any of them,
but for 8 days after feeding
spores of the disease to them,
they were recovered in the feces,
showing that cats. if they have
access to Charlton tainted meat,
may become dangerous carriers
Of the disease.
Ii is not generally known, and
if known ignored that the
Postum tEeS better half of
taters'' is great carrion feed
er. So DR.. Norris fed meat balls
loaded with eharbon germs to a
possum, without injecting the
animal, but recovering the germs
for a period of 8 days in the
feces. 4
B ac t e po Togis t $ differ
as to The liability Of chickens to
contract the diseases. Pasteur
regarded them as susceptible,
DIR. Dalrymples was of the
opinion, that, poultry dying sud-
denly on charbonous food and in
picking off horse flies feeding on
infected mules.
DIR. Mayer in a bulletin pre-
pared for the Agricultural Dep
artment of Mississippi, on the
subject, held DIR. Dalrymples
views. DR.. Morris, in his recent
experiments, has shown a prac-I
teal immunity in chickens to the
disease, as eight hens fed with
Charlton loaded food failed to
develop the disease, but exhibited
the germs in the droppings, in
yirulent conditions, and fatal to
guinea pigs in "a to 80 hours.
The chicken, then to say the
least, must be regarded as a
dangerous carrier and dissemin-
ator of the disease, hence, on in
fecJed farms they should be con-
fined to their own ranges.
DR.. Morris, like all other
writer's on the subject, admits
the susceptibility of rabbits and
guinea pigs to Charlton, when in
simultaneously, but he
has shown by feeding Charlton
capsules to q guinea pigs and 5
that only 8 of the guinea
pigs died and none of the rabbits, !,
contracted the disease, although,
he spores were recovered in the
'eces. Next week we will take
lp the Fly in relation to Charlton. s

81 DROWNED AT SEA

NEAR COLUMBIA RIVER.
Sea Washes Man Ashore While Life
Savers Take Three From Rig
sina Of IlI-Fated Vessel.

Astoria, Ore, Jan. 9.-Thirty-one of
the crew of thirty-fiye perished on
Tuesday when the oil tank steamer
Rosecrans, formerly a United States
army transport. went to the bottom
of the Pacific on Peacoek SPIT. during
heavy gale which drove her on the
rocks.
One survivor of the wreck is re-
ported to have reached shore at
Tioga, Wash. Life-saving crews that
had been at work all day rescued
three other men who took refuse in
the rigging when the ship sank For
hours the men clung to the mast, the
waves breaking over them repeated
ly, before the wind died down so that
the life-savers could reach them,
Two OF the men were taken of
their perch, but the third. leaped into
the.sea and was rescued.
The Rosecrans cleared from south
ern California points with a crude oil
cargo for Portland.

PANIC is AvERTED
STEAMER RUNS AGROUND OFF
halifax HARBOR IN DENSE
FOG.
Gooi Work on Part of Crew Prevents
Panic and Results in Rescue
of Passengers.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Halifax, n. S.-The lives of nearly
1000 passengers were imperiled when
the Uranium Steamship Co.'S steamer
Uranium, bound from Rotterdam for
Halifax and New York, struck on the
ledges a quarter of mile north of
Chebuoto Head, on the southeastern
shore of Halifax harbor.
Dense fog with a stiff south wind
prevailed when the ship drove her bow
on the rocks. Being single-skinned
ship the plates soon gave way and the
forward hold soon filled with water.
Despite the fact that the passengers
were all foreigners, being Russians,
Germans and Poles principally, there
was no panic aboard. Many women
and children became greatly excited,
but the fears of these were allayed by
the officers, who told them that they
were within a few feet of the shore.
The lifeboats were made ready for
launching and signals were sent out
for assistance The lifesaving crews
were rushed to the scene from near
by shore stations. All available craft
were dispatched from Halifax in re-
spone to wireless calls from the ship.

.ENJOIN LUMBER TRUST
EASTERN ASSOCIATION HELD A
CONSPIRACY UNDER LAW.
Decision Regarded as Limiting In
Large Measure the Power Of
the MiddIemen.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE govern
ment's petition for a permanent in
JUNCTION against the Eastern States
Retail Lumber Dealers association, al
legged to be a combination in restraint
of trade, was granted by the federal
district court here Thursday.
The defendants include also the
New York Lumber Trade association,
the Building Material Mems associa-
ton, the New Jersey Lumbermen's
Protective association, the Retail
Lumbermen's association of Baltimore,
the Lumber Exchange of the District
OF Columbia and others.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE govern
ment's victory at New York against
the so-called lumber trust is regarded
by officials of the department of JUS
tice as one of the most important ac-
complishments under the Sherman an
thrust law, because it limits in large
measure the power and privileges of
the much-discussed "middleman" In
commerce.
The decision is construed here as
meaning that the consumer of lumber
untrammeled by the retailer, may pur.
chase direct from the wholesaler or
manufacturer, and the latter may sell
direct to the public without fnterfer
ence by combination of retailers
There still are pending lumber trust
cases constituting in the aggregate 9

VIII Employ an Expert.

w. o: Davis, of Versailles, chairman
of the state tax commission, author
lied by the last general assembly to
inquire into tax system of various
states and draft, for submission to the
next general assembly, bill looking
10 revision of the present tax law
in Kentucky, is negotiating with Carl
c.. Flynn, of the university of Califor-
mia, with a view to securing his serv-
ices as tax expert TO advise the COM
mission. Mr.. Davis said Prof. Flynn
had made study of various systems
of taxation, and is one of the best
qualified men to advise the Kentucky
commission he has been able to find.
The commission is empowered to ex-
pend but 1,500 for the services of an
expert, but Chairman Davis hopes to
so arrange matters so that Prof. Flynn,
if he accepts the trust, may do much
of-ths work In California. Under the
law creating the commission it is the
duty of that body to draft a prelimi
nary report, setting forth what has
been accomplished by it, and what il
hopes to accomplish, and submit it to
the governor during this month.
