East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-02-06
fFrom Sam Franclsco starl


In a joint report to the Senate,
made last Monday Secretary OF the
Treasury McAdoo and Secretary OF
Commerce Redfield give evidences OF
enormous increases In transatlantic
freight rates since the outbreak OF
the European war. Some OF the In
creases amount to more than 1000
per cent, and even at the greatly ad-
vanced rates. say the Secretaries, 1T
Is difficult to obtain cargo space for
earlier sailngs than March or April.
Since August /. 1914. the grain rate
from New York to Rotterdam has In
creased 900 per cent, the flour rate
500 per cent, and the cotton rate 100
per cent; and rates on the same CO.
mmodIties from New York to Liver
pool have increased from 800 to 500
per cent.
The report OF the two Cabinet Of
ficers says that II American exports
maintain the December level for one
year. the increased rates will make
charge of ;215,224.IO0 on shippers
The report contains many letters
from business men all over the coun
try saying that they are unable to
get bottoms for their freight, and
charging discrimination by such car
riers as are in business against freight
that pays a low rate, and the break
ing of contracts by at least one OF
the big transatlantic steamship COM
panies. The Secretaries ask whether
the greater consideration should be
given to the comparatively few Anne
rican steamships engaged In the for
eign trade-the aggregate Investment
in those ships being about $4,000
0OO-or to the farmers, manufactur
ers and other business men OF the
country.
The report OF Secretaries McAdoo
and Redfield is largely an argument
in favor OF the Ship Purchase Bill
The figures given are complete an
swer to those who say that the Cover
nment should not in any way inter
fere with the alleged right OF the
shipowners to charge what ever rates
they can get The Government MAJ
no power to control or regulate OCEAN
freight rate, and steamship owners
can increase their rates without notice
Looking at the matter calmly and SER
iously, one must conclude that II
would pay us many times over to In
vest the $40, ,OOO,O 900, provided in the
Ship Purchase Bill, IN buying ships
for an American merchant marine.
Secretaries McAdoo and Redrelo
say that many suitable ships can be
bought, and that It is not true that
only ships Of German registry are to
be had. I'VE do not know" they
say. whether any OF the German yes
sells interned in our ports can be
obtained, or would be desirable, pu'
we are convinced that suitable ships
OF foreign registry are available II
the means for purchasing them are
provided" Attached to the report IL
a list of ships, including fifteen Brit
ish and seven German, that are for
sale.

proposition that an unintelligible

not"
In the Meeker county case,
the main contention Of the vets
was that the vote of Union Grove
township, So dry and 40 wet,
should be thrown out, because
the ballot box had been allowed
out of the custody Of the prop
er officials. This claim is re
jected by the court. The decision
by Justice Albert Schaller holds
that there were 3,259 votes cast,
1852 dry and 1906 wet. I'm
der the ruling in the Pipestone
county case, 1880 dry votes
were necessary to win.

margin of four votes by the
county canvassing board, after
the county option election OF
June 7, the county was later held
to have gone dry by Judge }. IL.
Quinn, who heard the contest
proceedings. The supreme court
Friday reversed Judge Quinn's
decision, holding that the drys
must have a majority OF all the
ballots cast at the election,
whether counted or not. This
will preserve two saloons, one at
Holland and one at Trosky, the
only ones in Minnesota any

Judges Andrew Holt and Us

Judgment of the court, making
Il a three to two decision. An
other decision filed Friday al
firms the lower court in the case
of Meeker county, giving the
drys there a margin OF TWO
votes.
Decided by Blank Ballots

as unintelligible. The decision
written by Commissioner M. y

the drys failed, therefore, to ge

Two Judges Dissent
Judge Andrew Holt dissent
vigorously: "I believe the legls

number of rats that accommodated the excess
flea population from dead rodents. That the in

number of plague infected rats still alive. 1t
was like living over volcano which was on the
eve of eruption.
All evidences of a stable were removed and
on the bare ground was laid the concrete floor of
thoroughly rat-proofing structure for the
stock. From this floor to the ceiling of the gal
vanized iron feed room on the floor above no eff
fort was spared to make the building impervious
to rats seeking to gain entrance by gnawing
burrowing, climbing or jumping.
The stabeman's residence was next paved
and the walls filled with concrete to such a
height that even the father of all rats could not
have found entrance.
In the junk house, which occupied the right
wing of the same building, thirty-six rats were
killed, of which sixteen were plague infected.
Dogs were an efficient aid in killing these. When
floors were torn up, rats scattered in all direct
ions.
The work of rat-proofing continued steadily

capped death with the rats were compelled to seek
other hosts and they penetrated the recess and

conditions had been safe refuge for the mice

How Rats Spread Plague.

On September 25, 1914, two plague infected
rats were taken in snap traps at 1913 Magazine
street. New Orleans, La. The premises situated
here, combined stable, junk warehouse and
residence. were entirely surrounded by high
brick wall.
Owing to the condition of the place and the
necessity for immediate, thorough rat-proofing,
The premises were vacated and ordered closed
pending completion of work.
The residential portion of the building was
'umigated with eighty pounds of sulphur and the
entire premise disinfected by spraying 2 per
cent solution of kerosene emulsion.
The following morning the work of demoli-
lion was begun with the intent of thoroughly de-
stroying rat harboring places from ground to
roof When the ground floor of the residence
was removed. fifty-four rates were killed; of
these twenty were plague infected. Approaching
the ease with which plague may be transmitted
by the fleas from rat to man, it seems remark
able that people should have lived over such a
not bed of infection without contracting the dis.
