l0New Typhoid
Gases Reported
On Staten Island
Total of Forty Now Listed by
Health Department; Epi-
demic Spreads

Ten new cases Of typhoid fever were
reported 10 the Staten Island Health
Department yesterday. This makes a
total Of forty cases reported in Rich
mond in the past few days. and has
caused the health authorities 20 re-
double their efforts TO stamp out the
epidemic before il grows TO any greater
proportions.
Four of the cases Yesterday were To-
Gated outside of West New Brighton,
where all the others have been found,
giving rise 10 grave fears that the
epidemic has already spread beyond
the territory to which the authorities
had hoped 70 confne it. All four cases
were directly traceabls 70 the source
believed to be the cause Of cases in
West New Brighton.
Embargo Placed on MIX
Dr. Edward G. Wisely Assistan.
Superintendent Of Richmond, who has
taken charge Of the entire situation,
is confident the source of the disease
has been traced to milk supplied from
Delaware, y. j., and an embargo has
been placed on all milk from there.
Several of the new cases yesterday,
as well as a number of those previ-
ously reported, were believed to have
been caused from ice cream. made from
milk furnished from the New Jersey
town. The sale of the cream has
been ordered discontinued until a more
complete test can be made.
Four men employed in bakery,
which has a large lunch trade in West
New Brighton, we're taken Ill yester-
day. The bakery is one of the GUS
toners of the Delaware dealer and it
has been closed temporarily.
The Delaware dealer is one of the
largest milk dealers on Staten Island,
having over 500 customers TO whom he
supplied milk daily. The health au-
thorities have complete list Of these,
and early yesterday morning force or
doctors attached to the department
started on a round Of visits to each
of the customers. All will be innocu-
lated with typhoid antitoxIn.
Emerson Takes a Hand
Health Commissioner Haven Emer-
son. OF New York held long confer
ence with the Staten Island authorl-
ties during the afternoon. and Will
send large supply OF anti-typho!d
toxin to West New Brighton this morn
ing.
Acting on authority OF the Health
Department, a force Of sanitary eX-
perts began q house-to-house canvass
of the entire district where the disease
has made its appearance and ordered
all debri, and refuse destroyed within
forty-eight hours.
The health authorities state that IN
all probability there will be at least
one hundred eases Of typhoid reported
before the epidemic is halted.

The Sinews of War
Primeval Forests of Oregon To Be Levelled to
Supply Spruce and Fir for Great United States
Fleet of Airpanes and Merchant Ships
By Theodore M. Knappen

peninsula stands ripe for the harvest z
timber crop that is capable Of giving
US one trainload Of fifty cars each day
for the next hundred years and then
we can begin all over again on a new
crop
Four per cent instead Of is the
price Of the St Paul's dream of trans
port empire but the Northwest re-
joices in the dreamers, and, mark we'll,
the day is near at hand when the dream
will have its substantial reward.
Somehow, notwithstanding that
Dougla7 fir was long known as Oregon
pine, Washington has stood for the
type Of the Northwestern timber re-
Eion. Wa hiugton has produced and
still produces by far the more lumber,
but Oregon has the greater reserves,
Two, three, four hundred billion feet
what difference do the actual figures
make ?-still stand in Oregon.
Here we have spruce and fir. Here
we have the markings Of the beating Of
Germany. The spruce for airships, the
fir for water ships; the building ma
teriai 10 take the place of steel that
goes 10 war. The sirships demand of
the forests such sacrifice as the old
time hunter exacted Of the buffalo
when he took only the hump for meat.
Ia each mighty spruce, stalWart brother
Of the fir, there is lumber amounting
10 on,y6 or 7 per cent Of its bulk thai
il suitable for the 1900 wooden parts
Of an alrpiane.
To get out the 2O,OOO,O0 feet Of
choice wood required for the planes
that are TO beat the German legions 10
the ground 100000 600 feet of timber
must be slaughtered. But that is not
all. To cut the spruce, you must also
cut the fir and heml0ck that stand with
it, Selective logging is impossible.
The forest stands or falls together.
So another forest levy Of, say, 100000
900 feet must be made. In the end we
find that a billion feet of great trees
must come crashing down to death to
yield the insignificant 20,000,0O0 feet
that are needed that the devastation
of 10000 acres is part OF the price
of the conquest of the air. or all
woods the Stka fir is best for airplanes.
Two counties in Washington and the
west coast Of Oregon have about all
there is Of il.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 25.--lhe
sign Of the North Pacific Coast is the
Douglas FIR, rising to unbelievable
heights in a drarcry Of drifting ios
banks.
He who has slept on n Pacihc beach,
the tireless pounding Of the SURF oe-
fore him-driven by a momentum
gained in six thousand miles of ocean
the sombre frs, guarding inviting
mysteries in the darkness, behind, mas
been initiated into the brotherhood OF
the tall trees and the deep waters, OF
the flying horses Of the breakers, OF
the invincible forest and Of the mlsts
that enchant. Totem pole and huge
log pagan temples, clan symbols and
fantastic hieroglyphs on the walls OF
ancient community houses are no
longer inscrutpble TO him lie has
tasted of the environment that made
them. Turn him now back TO the CIV
ilization of the AK and the simplicity
of skin garments, and he knows that
he, too, would soon paint and carve
those colossal figures OF bird and beast
distorted.
This is the mark of this Northwest
ern wonderland, of this wondrous
America Of ours, the mark of nature
in great mood-powerful, crude and
broodingly tender-the vague memory
mark that the initiated carry with them
to the end of their days. Thousands
upon thousands receive the mark and
know it to be the sign of the chosen
land for them and all their posterity.
As the desert calls 10 some in its grim
aridity, so the forest and mountain of
the Northwest coast call in their soft
humidity TO others.
Washington, Oregon. British Colum
bia and Alaska are the land of this
mark. Some say that all the sons Of
the old races that lived around the
Baltic and the North Sea, the men OF
the Beowulf breed, the long-headeI
blends, roam restlessly through the
world till they get the mark and know
their own. Here are the fjords of Nor
way, the Baltic mists and the North
Sea storms in greater and softer
mould. Here the booming ocean calls
necessarily to seafarers; here in this
huge and gentle land strong men find
the strength and the incentive to great
works. The invitation and the reward
for landsmen were found primarily in
the gigantic trees which constitute one
Of the greatest assets with which nat
ure ever endowed nation.
"Where are our revenues in this
wilderness?" asked General Manager
Earring of the st. Paul Railway, as he
found the track-head pointing out over

he was in one of those moments OF re-

great things in the material world stop
and ask themselves II they are not as
foolishly idealistIc as any poetsster.

On the Screen

The first four-reel picture to be
made from an o. Henry story was
shown yesterday by the General Film
Company before an invited audience
at Wurlitzer Hall. The story chosen
was "The Defeat of the City" which
contains plenty Of material for a film
of that length. Heretofore the O..
Henry tales which have been adapted
for the screen have been utilized as two
reelers. All of the charm which q.
Henry infused in his story has been
retained in the screen version.
In the first place, the cast rs care
fully selected. J. Frank Glendon, as
Robert Walmsley, is most convincing
The author probably had just such a
person in mind when he wrote the
story. Agnes Eyre does very good work
as Alicia Won der Pool, and the rest
of the characters are equally well Por-
trayed.
The defeat Of the city does not mean
that the city defeated Robert Walmsley,
but that he defeated the city.
Robert goes to New York from a
farm to win fame as lawyer. ~ the
end of six years he has now not only
fame. but also fortune and bride
Miss Alicia Won der Pool, who IS, to
quote the author, high, cool, white and

ter they have been married for some
time he still asks permission % KISS
her hand at the breakfast table.
Finally a visit is arranged 70 the ga
farm, and the high, cool, white Van der
Pool meets the humble WalmsleyS.
Robert reycrts TO type and has mo
time of his life all day on the farm.
He rides the colts, ploughs and wresfles
with the farmhands, knowing full well
that he has damned himself forever IN
the eyes OF his wife. When he finally
