its last day in our orchards and

LABOR SITUATION A FACTOR.
"One of the things that has
caused us to lose out in COMPETE
tion is the labor situation. 1t is
serious. not only in the Rogue
River Valley, but in the entire
coast section, and the demands
of labor have eaten up the profits
and left nothing for the fruit
grower. Then. for the last two
years, there has been a severe
drought in the valley that has
cut down the crop to almost
nothing. People will have to
eat Eastern apples this year or
60 without them.

ditions in the Oregon fruit-grow-
ing region was corroborated by

RABIES SPREAD

Richmond, Va, Nov. y. 1918,
(SpeciaD-Four patients now be-
ing given anti-rabic treatment
at the laboratory of the state
board Of health here trace the
history of their infection in a
way which health officers say is
typical of the manner in which
hydrophobia is being spread.
Some months ago, it appears,
a stray dog appeared in the com
munity where the patients live.
He was suspected of having bit.
ten several dogs and was later
killed as mad. But as he had
not bitten any human beings, no
further attention was given q e
matter. Some weeks thereafter,
a dog which had been exposed to
the rabid animal developed symp-
toms of hydrophobia and was
killed, but as he too had not bit.
ten anyone, no apprehension was
felt. In about month, hCw-
e1er, a pet cat became vicious
and bit and scratched tvur chill
dren. Examination showed that
the cat was suffering from rabies
aud the children who had been
bitten were brought to the state
laboratory.
Health officers think it cert. in
that the infection was carrie d
from the first dog to the otter
aud By him to the cat which, in
turn, bit the four Children
Treatment is now progressing
satisfactorily and no ill-effects
are expected, but the spread of
tue disease, in the judgment of
health officers, illustrates the me-
cessity of precautions against
rabid animals. In every case
the state board of health advises,
animals which have been exposed
to others suffering from rabies
and all animals exhibiting symp-
toms of unusual diseases should
be kept chained until the nature
of the disease shows itself.

HEPPERLE ANSWERS HANSON

State Land Commissioner Hepperle
has given out an answer to the Han
son charges against the land depart
ment In which he takes the position
that the resignation of Hanson was
asked for on the grounds that he was
working against the best interests OF
the state in that department, and 1t
was only asked for after the situation
had become so strained that he could
no longer retain Hanson and keep the
affairs of the Office up to the standard
which should be maintained, says a
Pierre dispatch.
He denies that Governor Byrne had
anything whatever to do with his ac-
ton in any manner, and that Hanson
himself was responsible for the whole
situation by his actions.
He admits the charge that his son
was drawing $11O per month as a
clerk in the department and getting
but SIS of it personally, but states
that the balance was deposited to the
credit of the boy in a savings deposit
and he received no benefit from il
personally.
AS to the charge of keeping a
brother-in-law in the forest ranger
service he claims that he Is main
tanned because Of efficiency. and on
recommendations of the forest ranger
to that effect, and that the increase. in
salary mentioned Is n which the
legislature provided for all rangers
alike and placing them on a par with
the government rangers in like work.
He enters a general denial as to the
charges of favoritism in selling lands
and cites numerous instances where
Hanson shifted valuations to suit his
own convenience.
