ment. headed by Commissioner
William H. Fftzsimmons and in d.
rect charge of DR.. A. N. Mueller,

Considerable difnculty has been
encountered in the past by the city

ithorities and especially stressed
the point that any citizen can be
held responsible for any known or
suspected case of contagious dis
case in his home that is not re-

the disease and who should be al
lowed to leave the premises to
take up other abode, a. decided by
the health officer, will be allowed
to do 80 after oil articles that they
carry with them have been fumi-
gated and other precautions taken
to prevent them spreading the con-
tagion.
IL One Of the worst practices is of
families refusing to call a physi-
clan when they know or suspect
that contagious disease has broken
out in their midst, MIR. Eihl said.
He declared that numerous cases
have come to his attention when
families attempt to avoid quaran-
tine regulations by not calling a
physician.
Had Not Reported.
He told of an investigation made
recently in a neighborb0Od where
. slight epidemic Of humps had
broken out. It was learned that
members OF two families had the
disease and were avoiding the quar-
antine regulations and were there
by spreading the contagion by leav-
ing the home.
Mr.. Eihl also told Of several
cases recently where he has ar
rived ct homes Just in time to pre-

IN this manner unless proper pre-
cautions are taken, he declared.

an increase in the number Of con-
tagious diseases in this city. Most
of the increases are shown in

shortcomings were slight and of

General Leonard Wood, in a

that so per cent called were

among the remaining 20 per

deformities, flat feet, poor

These conditions are not the re-
suit of prenatal influence but
of improper direction of the

SELLING STOCK

IN JCH comment, pro and
JUk con, has resulted in
stock raising circles be-
cause of the practice of some
large producers selling their
cattle in the eastern market in
stead of in Portland. The sale
of recent shipment in Kansas
City brought forth not only an
article from North Portland
but communication from a To-
cal stock authority on the sub
ject.
Stock raisers, like all other
human beings, will sell their
product where the most net re-
turn comes from. With range
conditions as they are this year.
it is not always possible for a
stockman to hold his cattle for
favorable market in Portland,
although all would willingly
patronize the closer market.
The prevailing prices in the
middle west in all lines, cattle,
sheep and hogs, have been such
that in spite of a long transit !
period and higher freight, the
net return is greater.
Again, range conditions have
caused the flow to market to be |
greater than usual and thus
more difficult to regulate. 1t |

Much stock is sent to the
coast yards and whenever net
returns are favorable, local
shippers patronize them. The
argument of J. C. Lonergan
that the local raisers should
cooperate more closely with the
local yards is logical only so
long as it works both ways. If
the Portland yards allowed
California cattle to flood the
market at one time, as his COM
munication says, the local buy
ers were discriminating against
the local raisers.
