DANGER TO PUBLIC
FROM TRECHINOSIS
Pork Insufficiently Cooked Said to be
Responsible for Peculiar Malady and
Alarming Condition Obtains

The increase in deaths from, eating
pork which had been insufficiently
cooked is causing alarm in many Sec
tions and already steps are being ta-
ken to warn the public as to the pre-
valence of the disease and its causes.
&c. A. Hagan, the well-known local
packer, calls attention to a recent
article in the Portland Oregonian re-.
specting the disease which is known
as trichinosis, the article being as fol-
lows:
Twelve cases Of trichinosis, with
four deaths and one patient consider
ed in a hopeless condition, were re-
ported today by the city health office
as having occurred within the present
week. In every case investigation
showed that the disease had resulted
from eating pork insufficiently cooked.
Efforts set on foot to trace the trich-
nia-infected pork to its original source
had been unsuccessful up to tonight
Need of a meat inspection ordin-
ance in Portland is pointed out by
City Health Officer Marcellus as a re-
suit of the cases of hog cholera and
trichinosis, which have caused four
deaths recently and number of cases
Of severe illness.
He declares that with proper in
spection of the meat shipped into the
city as well as that killed in the
slaughter houses near the city, meat
If this kind could be kept off the mar
zet."

PLANS
NOW PROGRESS
CITY COUNCIL LAST NIGHT Or
DERED ENGINEER TO PREPARE
DATA FOR ORDINANCES
Affects Four Districts Involving Ex
penditure of Approximately
$4,000

The initial steps looking toward the
successful completion of proposed
paving projects which were held up
in Moscow last year because Of suits
in the supreme court to determine on
the validity of the improvement dis
trict law, were taken up by the city
council last night when the city en-
gineer was instructed to furnish the
city attorney with descriptions of
property in the several districts so
that the proper ordinances might be
prepared and the plans forwarded so
that work on the paving might be
carried on at the opening of the spring
season.
| The districts affected are the Jack
son street district, comprising 10
blocks, the North Main street district
comprising five blocks, the Van Buren
district comprising nine blocks, and
the Deakin avenue district comprising
three blocks. The approximate cost
of the paving in the four districts is
$4,000, but the exact figures will not
be available until the city engineer
has compiled sufficient data 1t is
understood that several other dis
tricts are in process of formation for
presentation to the city council
which may swell the paving work to
be prosecuted to round 100000.
At the meeting of the council last
night the clerk was instructed to sub
NIT bill for 1S months rent to the
Pacific Coast Elevator company at SIS

ATTENDANCE GROWS

TRUSTEES OF DISTRICT In in.
FORMAL SESSION TODAY WIRES
TIES WITH PROBLEM
Considering Means for Advantageous
fy Caring for Pupils s-Lyceum
Course Proposal

At an informal meeting OF trustees
of the Moscow Independent School Dis
trict No. 5 today the question OF at
tendance during the coming semester
was up for serious consideration. II
develops that the Moscow schools al
ready are becoming congested, despite
the fact that it was expected this
would be relieved by the remodelling
Of the Whitworth school, but the Mos
COW schools are showing an exceeding
ly healthy growth and the trustees
are taxed to their utmost to provide
the necessary room to take care OF the
incresed attendance.
The board considered measures des-
igned to remedy this condition with
out rimpairing the efficiency of the
schools and yet serve the patrons of
the district without difficulty. With
this in view the board will at its next
meeting consider tentative plans now
being evolved which will possibly
eliminate the over crowding Of the
primary grades during the middle OF
the year, this feature having been
custom in the past. 1t is proposed
that primary pupils be not permitted
to begin studies during the middle OF
the year and that parents be encourag-
ed to send their children at the begin
ming of the school year. The elimina-
ton of pupils will only affect begin
ners Of the age of six years
Unless the new plan is adopted it
means the moving up of all grades re-
quiring additional rooms and new
desks besides forces 60 pupils in
room. At the present time the high
school auditorium is taxed to its ca
pacity to take care of the increased
attendance, even at the present time
some of the students not having desk
room The total enrolment at the
high school at the beginning OF the
next semester will reach more than 325,

no desire to place the Moscow schools
at a disadvantage and only through
cooperation with It's patrons can the
best service be given and the needs OF
the district conserved. 1t is conceded |
that this immense congestion In the
Moscow schools is but an indication OF
it's efficiency and undoubtedly par
ents will use every endeayor to CO.
operetes with the school trustees IN
this matter.
The board today met informally to
hear proposals from J. L. White, In
land Empire manager of the Ellison
White Iyceum bureau, who was mere
from Spokane to disclose what the
had for its circuit during I
the next year. Superintendent Henry
was present Should the company re-
ceive a contract for lyceum course
next year, the guarantee will be made

board and not as a school district

his excellent business sagacity was
promptly recognized and he became
prominent in business circles in Lew
iston almost instantly. He is a grad

opinion of his friends.
He left for Spokane this afternoon,
promising to return to Moscow again
in the near future.

SENATOR CRUM
VISITED MOSCOW
POSSIBLE REPUBLICAN GUBERNA-
TORIAL CANDIDATE MINGLED
WITH LOCAL PARTY LEADERS
Made No Statements as to His Inten-
tiOns. But Lewiston Man Likely
be In the Race

Though not campaigning and re-
fusing to admit that he is yet a candi-
date, Former State Senator George E.
Crum of Nez Perce county, who was
in Moscow today for a brief visit
did not deny that he was considering
seriously the opportunities of his
many friends from all parts of the
state to become a republican primary
candidate for the gubernatorial NOM
ination in the approaching campaign
Senator Crum dropped in on Mos
tcow today from Lewiston between
trains on his way to Spokane where
he has extensive business interests,
and though he called on a few person
|al friends, his presence was a signal
for a gathering of republican leaders
'of Latah county, and naturally pol
itics waxed warm during his stay.
Senator Crum was a guest of the
Chamber of Commerce at its lunch
con today but if anyone expected him
to talk on politics when he was call
ed on for an address, they were mis-
taken. He devoted his remarks to
the value of commercial organizations
and of the success attained by the
Lewiston commercial club.
Recently Senator Crum was the re-
cipient of a Round Robin" letter ad
dressed to him by his many friends
in Lewiston and Nez Perez county
signed by persons of all political
shades urging him to become CUB
ernatorial candidate in the next cam
paign and promising their support. 1t
iston to Senator Crum's personal
standing III his community, both as a
successful business man and loyal
citizen of the state In his reply he
acknowledged the compliment and
promised to give the matter considera-
ton, awaiting such time as was pro-
pituous to make his decision.
In the meantime Senator Crum has
been receiving strong encouragement
from party leaders In all sections Of
the state urging him to become a
candidate Today he declined to be
quoted az to his Intentions, though
there seems no doubt but what he
will be in the race when the campaign
opens.
Senator Crum has been resident
If the state for many years and has
oeens unusually successful In his bus
ness projects. He is a member of
he Wholesale commission firm Of
White Bros. & Crum Co., with offices |
n many Of the principal cities in the |
