ed the council and DR.. Temple was
called and asked to explain his action.
He stated that the clothes were in
suitcases in a different part of the
house than that in which Mr.. Ger
vais. the patient, was confined and
that he had given orders to have the
clothes passed out to the men and
that, afterwards, the clothing should
be thoroughly jisinfected. He de-
clared he had made his best effort to
insure n rigid quarantine but dis
claimed responsibility for violations
of the regulations, stating these were
matters within the province of the
police. He asked for cooperation on
the part of the council and for ex-
plicit instructions to prosecute viola
tors. He was informed that the or
dinance provided for such prosecu-
tions and that the council stood for
strict enforcement of the ordinance
Some discussion was held, as to
whether 1t was necessary to appoint a
special quarantine officer but It was
finally decided that It was not neces-
sary at this time as there are only
seven cases under quarantine. How

TO ENFORCE QUARANTINE REGULATIONS

Hereafter, the quarantine regula-
tons in Pendleton are to be strictly
enforced and any violations are to re-
suit in prosecutions before the po.
lice magistrate. The council became
aroused last evening and, following
"A consultation with City Physician |.
u. Temple, declared for an absolute
quarantine on smallpox and for a
thorough enforcement of the city or
Jinance.
Anyone entering or leaving a quar-
antined house, except the attending
physician. is to be arrested. Likewise
any physician who fails to report a
case Of smallpox which comes to his
knowledge Is to be arrested. Fur
thermore, anyone attempting to con-
ceal from the public the presence of
smallpox in house is to meet like
fate. The council Is in earnest and
intends taking rigid action to prevent
a repetition of the epidemic of ten
years ago.
The matter was brought up last

CAVALRY TROOP MAY Be
FORMED HERE; SEVENTY
FIVE MEN ARE NEEDED


That Pendleton should form a cav
airy troop similar in character to
the organization recently formed in
Portland, has been suggested and 1t
is possible that such a step may be
taken though up to this time no defi-
mite move is underway.
The subject of a cavalry troop
here was suggested to T. d. Taylor
president of the Roundup and slfer-
iff. by the army officer who organ
lied the Portland troop. The sheriff
has discussed the subject somewhat
and is of the opinion a good troop
could be formed here but feels he
cannot give the matter his personal
time or attention
1t is said the troop would require q
minimum of 15 men and that the gov
ernment will provide full equipmen n,
with the exception of the horses.
