other bringing a trench from the
Berkeley sulphur spring and a third
crew has already brought. trench
from the lithia spring as far in as the
Graves place, These three trenches
will converge at a point near the
iuncture of Ashland street and the
Boulevard beyond the Normal school
property.
The company has received a ship
ment of $4,000 feet of piping-ap'
proximately eleven miles of it. They

1000 ExcursionistS
Drown at Chicago

A thousand persons lost their lives
in the Chicago river Saturday by the
capsizing of the excursion steamer
Eastland, while warping from its
wharf with more than 2,400 en-
ployes of the Western Electric Com
pany and their relatives and friends
on board, bound for pleasure trip
across Lake Michigan.
After ceaseless work all day and
far into the night the bodies of S42
victims of the catastrophe, most of
them women and children, were col
lected from the temporary morgues
and taken to the Second Regiment
armory.
When these bodies had been
tagged, Coroner Hoffman, taking into
consideration estimates of bodies
thought to be in the hold of the
steamer lying on its side in the river
and in the stream itself, said he had
hopes that the total dead would not
exceed 1000.
The Eastland, said by marine
architects to have been top-heavy and
ballasted in an uncertain manner,
turned over inside of five minutes
after it began to list, pouring its pas
sengers into the river, or imprison-
ing them in its submerged hull.
Marine officials are at loss as to
what to ascribe the accident. An
investigation is being made by gov
ernment officials.
The entire city went into mourn
ing, all baseball games being called
off, the theatres closing and business
houses being draped in mourning.
Amidst heartrending scenes of sor-
row the work of taking out the
bodies of the dead continued all day
yesterday. Many were taken from
the water seriously injured and died
later in the various hospitals. Holes
were cut in the hull and many bodies
taken out by divers.

Last Thursday afternoon the di-
rectors of the Ashland Fruit and
Produce Association met the direct
ors of the Medic d association in that
city and spent a most profitable af-
ternoon discussing means by which
cooperation could be secured which
would be of mutual benefit. Ar
rangements were made whereby in
case neither organization had enough
fruit of variety to fill single car,
the two could combine and get the
advantages of carload rates. Several
other plans were discussed and CO.

Boy Scouts are at
Lake Of the Woods

Lloyd Crowson, one of the mem
bers of the Boy Scout expedition
which are now camped at Lake of
the Woods, cut himself slightly in the
leg with a hatchet on the first even
ing at the lake and was brought home
by his father, who hauled out part of
the camp equipment. While the in
jury was not serious, Mr.. Crowson
thought it best to bring his son back
in the wagon as the party intends to
tramp all the way back and carry
their luggage. The boys made Dead
wood the first night and Lake of the
Woods the second day at noon. They
were having a fine time at last re-
ports and will return the last of this

To klamath Falls

Charles B. Howard will start a
stage line next Monday between Ash
land and klamath Falls. He will
leave Ashland Mondays, Wednesdays
and Thursdays. General passenger,
express and light freight traffic will
be handled by automobile. 1t has
been several years since stage has
been run over Green Springs noun
tain. In former years the klamath
Stage with its four-horse teams was
one of the picturesque reminders of
the old west. The honk of the auto
horn will now awaken the echoes
which once responded to the tally-ho
of the stage driver.

Help Prevent
Forest Fires

To obtain the cooperation of the
public in preventing forest fires
which are doing a great deal of dam
age in the east this spring, the de-
partment has prepared ten "Donts"
to be observed in the woods.
The "Don'ts' follow:
/. Don't throw your match away
until you are sure it is out.
2. Don't drop cigarette or cigar
butts until the glow is extinguished.
3. Don't knock out your pipe
ashes while hot or where they Will
fall into dry leaves or other inflam-
mable material.
4. Don't build camp fire any
larger than is absolutely necessary.
5. Don't build q fire against a
tree, log or a stump, or anywhere
but on bare soil.
6. Don't leave fire until you are
sure it is out; If necessary smother
it with earth or water.
7. Don't burn brush or refuse in
or near the woods If there is any
chance that the fire may spread be-
yond your control, or that the wind
may carry sparks where they would
start new fire.
s. Don't be any more careless
with fire in the woods than you are
with fire in your own home.
8. Don't be idle when you discover
a fire in the woods; if you cant put
1t out yourself, get help. Where
forest guard ranger or state fire
warden can be reached, call him up
on the nearest telephone you can
find.
10. Don't forget that human
thoughtlessness and negligence are
the causes of more than half OF the
IOTbbl llItS III lulo IOuhtiJi "AN N'
the smallest spark may start con-
flagration that will result in loss OF
life and destruction of timber and
young growth valuable not only for
lumber but for their influence In
helping to prevent flood, erosion and
drought.
Throughout oregon the govern
ment has established forest telephone
lines which are available to any one
discovering a fire The government
and various fire prevention organiza-
tions are doing their part in placing
more rangers and guards than ever
out this summer. Every Ashlander
who goes out into the woods should
be a committee OF one to help in fire
prevention.
In this state there are heavy penal
ties inflicted for even minor infrac-
lions of the fire-prevention rules.

lection and the number of bleedings
that are obtained before rehyperimmu-
nization. Other conditions being equal,
the more virulent the virus, the more
potent will be the serum. Nothing but
the strongest virus possible should
ever be used. Strains of virus that
will produce fever and fatal sickness
in seven to eight days are much pre-
ferable to those that require an incu-
baton of eight to ten days. The usual
amount of virus injected at one time,
when injected into the veins of the
immune, Is six cubic centimeters for
each pound of body weight. II less
than this is used, the serum will be
apt to be low in potency. The first
and second bleedings are of stronger
potency than the third bleeding. In
practice, equal parts of first, second
and third should be mixed for the
proper production of serum. Not more
than six cubic centimeters Of blood
at any one time should be bled from
the hyperimmune for each pound OF
body weight. The method of bleeding.
whether from the tail until clipped too
short for further use and neck at the
final bleeding or from but one bleeding
at the neck as practiced by some serum
companies, will not produce any differ
ence in the potency or in the amount
of foreign bacteria, provided that
proper methods of sterilization are en-
ployed.
No virus should be used that is bled
from hogs that show LESSONS of other
diseases other than acute cholera.
Each virus hog should be carefully ex-
amined after bleeding. The amount of
bacteria, and especially the number of
pathogenic bacteria, is due to the meth
DDS of sterilization used. Each hog
should be carefully cleaned and disin-
fected, the tail or neck shaved and
sterilized before bleeding, and all bot
ties or jars should be sterilized. All
of the preparation and bottling should
be done in clean quarters free from
any dust, and no vessels used that are
not sterile
The potency test may be misleading
through the use of pigs that are from
immune mothers. These pigs may re-
tain enough immunity that they will
remain we'll even though the serum is
low in potency. That is one of the
reasons why check pigs are used, to
show the natural immunity of the pigs.
The pigs should also be Of the same
herd or litter and treated alike.
Under the provisions of the new hog
cholera control law in Indiana, Purdue
university is charged with the testing
of all hog cholera serums and so-called
cures that are sold in the state. All
of the different serums exposed for
sale in the state and great many OF
the cures have been tested. The great
er majority of the serums have been
found to be potent, but no cure has
been of any use in either curing or
preventing hog cholera. All serums
tested by Purdue university are recon-
mended to the state veterinarian, who
issues a state permit, under which
each serum is sold At any time this
permit can be revoked through the
serum not being up to the standard.

With practically the whole Canadian
team united in their endeavor to put
him out of the game, Baker electrified
the crowd by skating riggs around
the fast Canadians-fairIy standing
them on their heads. He was finally
cut with skate and had to retire
two minutes before the final whistle.
Baker weighs ITO pounds, and yet
is as fast as featherweight. Phil
Kearney, former champion speed
skater of America, has declared that
in his palmiest days he could not have
matched the speed that Baker is show

that he plays in. A famous Yale ath-
lete once said of Baker: I'm foot

toria hockey game, five of the fast
Canadians were lying on the ice at
once as a result of their attempts to
stop the lodging, twisting Princeton

with hog cholera blood alone and the
others with varying amounts OF the
serum along with the hog cholera

In the main, this is the process of
manufacture of anti-hog-cholera Sc
rum. The varying results with different
serums that can be observed in a COM
munity are due to difference in the
care and intelligence used in the man

Is governed by the virulency of the
virus used, the amount of virus in
