MOUNTAIN WATER SUPPLY HAS
ELIMINATED MUCH SICKNESS
Not One Typhoid Case From City
Since New Supply Came Into Use;
State HospitalNotes Improvement.

That the gravity water system is
proving powerful influence towards
eliminating summer sickness in Pen
ner by the records of the county and
city health Officers, by the experience
at the state hospital and by the testi-
mony of leading local physicians.
Contrary to some reports in circu-
lation there has not been a single ty-
phoid case reported from Pendleton
since the new water system went into
use. the only case reported during that
period being one that was brought
here from another town. This is the
statement of DR.. d. ]. McF'aul. county
health officer and of DR., l. L. Temple
city physician to whom all typhoid
cases must be reported by the attend
ing physicians. Several times there
have been cases of fever which show
ed at first symptoms of typhoid How
ever the patients would recover within
week or two, showing plainly there
was no typhoid as typhoid is always
a lingering ailment
However, the absence Of typhoid Is
not the only satisfactory feature un-
der the new water system. There is
also evidence that intestinal troubles
that were known to be due to the old
water supply are largely eliminated,
This is proving of especial benefit to
children.
DR. McFaul, who has large ex-
perience in children's diseases says he
has found much less cholera morbus
and other childish Intestinal troubles
than usual during the last six weeks
and he attributes the results to the
improved water supply According to
Or, McFaul his general medical work
has been heavier than usual during
the summer but there has been a

LARGE ARMY FROM
RUSSIA LANDS To
CUT OFF GERMANS

LONDON, Sept. 4.-Half a million
Russians are rumored to be in Eng
land in readiness for landing on the
continent in the rear of the German
force in Northern France.
The cars troops, mostly Cossacks
are said to have been landed at Alb
erdeen, Scotland, from Archangel and
thence transported to southern Eng
lish ports, whence they will be fer
ried across the channel to ostend to
cut the line of the Kaiser's COM
munication through Belgium.
The reports couldn't be verified as
the war office has withheld news
since Thursday. 1t is known that for
eigners have been ordered to leave
ostend, which is considered significant
that some important enterprise is on
foot there.

gust there was decrease as compared
with the corresponding month last
year of more than ten and n haif mil
lion dollars in the revenues collected
from customs In the United states and
that continuation OF decreases In
tho same proportion during the cur
rent fiscal year probably will mean IA
loss OF between so hundred million
dollars.

Will Never Consent to Car

rRv Cable 10 The Tribune. ]

Mexico City, June ia Washington
dispatch saying President Wilson de-
sired a Carranzista for President
caused general comment here. Esteva
Ruiz said he knew nothing Of such q
proposal and that the negotiations
would continue.
It is considered here that the designa-
ton of a Carranzista would be incom-
patible with the principle OF mediation,
which Is to seek compromise between
the contending factions, and not to ask
ono side to surrender outright to the
other. While 1t is understood that
Huerta would be willing to retire. II by
30 doing tho country's pacification were
attained, he cannot be expected to sur
render to his sworn enemies, and even
II he were willing he would have no
right to deliver the majority OF the
country's population to the tender mer-
cies of a faction representing only Q
small fraction Of the country's inhabi-
tants.
Even a large number Of Mexicans
who are not Huertistas are strongly
opposed to Carranza and the Carran-
zistas.

Gonzales at Tampico. United States GUS
toms officials have taken no action in the
matter of holding them. They declare
that, notwithstanding the fact that press

the ammunition held here, no such In

nothing can or will be done regarding the
movement toward Tampico.
The ammunition Is here. 1t was I'M
loaded last night, and is now ready to be
placed aboard the schooner Sunshine,
which lies in the roads. Another curious
fact is that the ships manifest fails to
reveal the presence Of ammunition In the
cargo. although the officials of the COM

cludes arms and ammunition for the
rebels. This ammunition came with the
general merchandise and was marked as
such.
