DIR. WHITE GOES AFTER THE GERMS
PHYSICIAN TAKES GHOSTS" AS TITLE OF TALK ON CONTAGIOUS
DISEASES MUCH GOOD DONE

DR.. Calvin S. White lectured to
small audience at the high school
gymnasium Thursday evening, Janu-
airy "a, on general hygienic prob
lens. He was introduced by DR..
Gregg, who smilingly stated that the
subject, Ghosts" surely had
harmful effect upon the attendance.
In the course OF the lecture DR..
White dealt specifically with typhoid
fever, tuberculosis, scarlet fever.
diphtheria and smallpox. 1t was not
an attempt to display knowledge but
good plain talk to a small group
of interested hearers. At all times
it was emphasized that none of these
diseases could occur without there
was brought to the individual germs
of disease from some person or per-
sons afflicted with the same disease.
For that reason housekeepers and
nurses should take every precaution
to destroy all chances of spreading
any contagious disease.
The common contagious diseases
were talked of to his audience in
such simple terms that all could un-
derstand the full meaning of what
was said; how the different diseases
were scattered in a community and
what was the proper mode of treat
ment in each of the cases to prevent
the further spread of the disease.
i dealing with typhoid fever, a
strong plea for pure drinking water
was made. The doctor said that IS
per cent of all the cases of typhoid
fever could be directly traced to pol
lutcd water supply which in most
cases was due to the carelessness of
some individual caring for a fever
patient. Milk was given as another
| source of danger. 1t was made plain
that milk was only very favorable
medium for the rapid multiplication
of the typhoid germ, and that the
! original source of infection was in
/ the water supply, the troublesome
| germs finding their way into the
milk containers through the water
used in washing the vessels.
Each of the contagious diseases

Howard Hicks, son of Ernest Hicks
Of this city, is at Yreka, Cal, suf-
fering from a pair of frozen feet ac-
quired in a strenuous experience in
the Siskiyous. In company with w.
J. Mooney of this city. Howard was
Shooting" trouble on the high
line" between this city and Fall
Creek for the California-Oregon
Power Company. In their work they
took horses as far as possible from
the place where they were putting
up and then went to the line on
snoWshoes. One evening last week
they reached their horses with their
feet wet from contact with the snow.
After a three-mile ride through the
snow Mr.. Hick were found to
be badly frozen. Home remedies
were used that night and the next
forenoon they succeeded in reaching
Fall Creek. Most of the afternoon
and until II o'clock that night was
consumed in reaching Hornbrook
from Fall Creek. They left Fall
Creek with a team and carriage, tel
ephoning to Hornbrook to have a
team from there meet them. When
the teams met, the one which had
come down the mountain was about
exhausted. The companys doctor
met them at Hornbrook, and after
dressing his feet MIR. Hicks was TAX
en- to Yreka. 1t was thought that a
part of one or botn feet would have
to be amputated, but later reports
bring the good news that all of both
feet will be saved.
Mr.. Mooney informs the Tidings
that the snow is so deep along the
high line that it is possible in some
places to step over the wires strung
at the top of the 35-foot steel tow
ers, the snow being 80 to "a feet
deep.

WOULD WRECK
TRAIN NO. 13
ATTEMPT MADE AT OREGON
CITY SATURDAY NIGHT.
TIES ARE PILED ON The TRACK
Train Runs Length of Long TrestIe
on Ties, But Fortunately Remains
Right Side Up and Passengers and
Crew Are Unhurt.

Oregon City, Jan. 25.-An unsuc-
cessful attempt to deral and rob the
San Francisco Express of the South
ern Pacific was made here tonight as
the train was approaching Oregon
City.
A pile of ties was thrown across
the tracks at Sixteenth street and
Railroad avenue (the tracks,, Just
within a few rods of the trestle
across AbberDethy creek The train
crashed into the ties at good
speed, but only four of the cars were
derailed, the train travelling more
than eight blocks and across the
trestle before stopping completely or
before the cause of the trouble was
learned.
The train is known as No. 13. It
left Portland at S:15 and reached
Oregon City at 9:02. A heavy pas
senger list was carried and many
Portland folk were among them.
The train carries ten cars, including
one tourist sleeper, four standard
Pullmans, baggage and express cars
and three coaches. Instead of jump
ing the rails the engine scattered the
ties some Of which were carried in
front of the engine eight blocks.
Several were carried four and five
blocks or entirely across the trestle.
Flying ties nearly laid out Night Po-
liceman Griffith, who was walking
the track, as is his nightly custom.
The train was not damaged when
the four cars left the rails. They
were replaced in Cuick time. That
disaster was narrowly averted is
declared by the railway officials
That the idea OF the would-be rob
bers was to derail the train and send
I it into the ditch beneath the trestle
the railway authorities assert. De-
tectives are being assembled from
Portland and surrounding towns, and
the Portland police also are at work

company and the referee in bankrupt
cy, Z. U. Henry, is expected in the
United States courc at Peoria Thurs
day. October =. when the troubles OF
that concern will be aired. At meet

morning. Mr.. Henry entered an order
for another meeting at Peoria on the
above mentioned date at which time
the creditors Will be asked to show
cause why the trustees sale of few
days ago should not be confirmed 1t
will be remembered that the bid Of
G. W. Johnson, amounting to $1,000
was accepted, and this the creditors
believe to be much too low. They
claim that $4,000 at least should be
realized on the sale Of the real estate
and buildings, at a very conservative
estimate Under the present arrange
ment. should the $4,000 bid stand, the
creditors would receive less than II
cents on the dollar.
