Danger in Whooping Cough

Whooping cough causes more
deaths than scarlet fever. This
state ment may surprise persons
who all their lives have believed
that whooping cough was no
worse than a bad" cold, and
that it was perfectly natural and
practically har mless for children
to have this disease.
Children without whooping
cough will not contract it unless
brought in contact with the in
fection. The latter usually is
transmitted through the spntum
and secretions discharged from
the mouth and nose. 1t is high
ly important that children with
whooping cough should be kept
away from those who do not have
it. The indiscriminate turning
loose of scarlet fever patients
would cause riot in most COM
munities, vet whooping cough is
deadlier than scarlet fever in its
final results.
Whooping cough is attended
by many complications, notably
hemorrhages, the most danger
Gus being cerebral hemorrhages.
Bronchitis is always present.
Broncho.pneumonia causes nine
tenths of the deaths in whoop-
ing cough.
The whooping cough germ is
usually transmitted by direct
contact. The disease is most
frequent between the ages of
six months and five years.
Girls are more susceptible than
boys, and in nervous children
the paroxysms of coughing are
especially severe.
The sputum and secretions
from the mouth and nose of the
whooping cough patient should
be controlled with cloths, and
the latter soaked for several

here holds $4,000 pounds or
1888 bushels. Divide the S26
by 1888 and the answer is a
figure less than two cents a
bushel.
In other words if this ex-
pert witness is correct in his fig
ures and they apply here as
well as in the middle west the
actual cost of hauling wheat
from here to Portland is less
than one fourth of the eight
and a third cents per bushel
now charged by the railroads,
We may grant that his esti-
mates are too low and still
there will be an immense mar
gin between the estimated
cost of service and the price
charged to the shipper.
The testimony before the
commerce commission at Chi
cago should open the eyes of
Umatilla county farmers to the
subject of the cost of shipping
grain. 1t is a subject that di-
rectly affects their profits
every year. There is obviously
a great chance for a reduction
in the grain rate and there is
no way whereby we may work
more effectively to this end
than by building a hard sur
face road to the Columbia river
so as to get the advantage of
water transportation.

PROFITABLE INVEST,
MENT

NNA HEN prospective bene-
w fits are considered most
any farmer in the wheat
belt of Umatilla county can af-
ford to give $1,000 towards a
hard surface road to the Co
lumbia river, at the nearest
point.
To subscribe $1,000 in 10 an
nual payments means 500 a
year. Now the average farmer
in the wheat belt will have TO-
600 bushels of wheat for sale
each harvest. If a hard surface
road to the river will reduce
the wheat rate three cents per
bushel, which seems conserva-
tive, it will mean $500 per
year to such a man. Therefore
the investment would mean 800
per cent profit when consid-
cred strictly from the wheat
standpoint.
But good roads will do more
than reduce the wheat rate.
They will reduce the cost Of
many classes of merchandise,
They will make farm life more
attractive and travel more
comfortable. They will en-
hance the value Of the land and
benefit the farmer, the farm
er's wife and the farmers chill
dren.
There is no safer investment
than in good roads when the
money is expended 80 as to
bring results.

TWO CENTS PER BUSHEL
TO PORTLAND

I'm view of the road issue
now uppermost in this
county the facts being
brought out at the grain rate
hearing before the interstate
commerce commission in Chi
cago are of unusual interest.
Some of those facts are shown
in news story carried on the
first page of this paper today.
AS testified by Mr.. Muller,
former statistician with the in
terstate commerce commission,
the data submitted by the rail-
roads shows the cost of moving
grain per carload mile is slight
ly less than seven cents. To be
exact it is .06928. He finds the
average haul in the middle
west is 359 miles and figures
the cost of such haul per car
load at $24.87 to which he adds
$10.13 for terminal costs max
ing a total of S35 per car.
Now apply those figures to
the grain haul from Pendleton
to Portland. The distance is
231 miles. Multiplying the dis
tance by the average cost per
carload mile makes a cost OF
SIC per car to Portland. Add
$40 for terminal charges and
we have a total of S26 for the
haul. The average carload

WHEN BOSSES BECOME
NON-PARTISAN.

IN his testimony regarding
the Barnes methods Col
Roosevelt testified yester.
Gay that when necessary
Barnes would work in cooper
alton with Murphy, democratic
boss of Tammany hall. He told
of legislation in which the two
bosses joined their forces and
Of a senatorial fight in which
they joined hands.
1t is fact that the average
political boss can be very non.
partisan when such a course
will serve his purpose. A man
of the Barnes stripe would
rather see the machine demo-
crats win than see the republi-
can party of New York under
clean management.
The same standard prevails
with Murphy. In fact Murphy
destroyed Sulzer and turned
the state over to the republi-
cans to rebuke characterization
in the Tammany camp. A
democratic victory was moi
comparable in importance tC
the safety of the Murphy ma.
chine. Barnes would prefer
any time to see a democratic
victory in New York rather
than see independent republi
canism come forth triumphant
During campaign times wher
his ticket is to his fancy tht
party boss will whoop it W
night and day for Il straight
party vote and will denounct
the possible bolter as part o.
the scum of the earth. But le'
the machine control be threat
ened or the spoils bag be en-
dangered and you will find Mr.
