CONTAGIOUS DISEASE
HAS BEEN WIDESPREAD
DURING PAST YEAR
Retiring City Physician sug-
gests Isolation Hospital to
Care for Gases; General
Health of City is Good.

Pendleton's birth rate is decreasing
but its percentage of contagious dis
eases is higher than in years, the an
nual report of Dr. II. J. Kavanaugh.
retiring city physician, for 1920,
shows. There were 229 births in Pen
dleton during the year, of which Ill
were males and llS females. In the
same period virtually 100 persons. or
more than one-seventh of the city's
population, were at some time in quar-
antine.
Births were 20 fewer than in 1918
and 80 fewer than in 1918. The de-
crease is attributed in part to the
passing of war years. when, statistics
show, births usually increae.
Pendleton death rate was low de-
spite the high percentage of conta-
gious diseases. In the city proper
there were but 14l deaths and at the
Eastern Oregon State Hospital there
were 40. The city's average was 19
deaths per 1000 population The fact
that deaths in the local hospital are
included in the city's record, although
patients may have come from out of

Crowded and, in cases, unsanitary
living quarters. are blamed by the re-
tiring physician for the prevalence of
contagious diseases. He urges that
the city consider an isolation hospital
for such cases so that whole families,
living in unfavorable conditions. would
not be subjected to the disease.
One hundred sixty-eight families
were quarantined for influenza, 141
for smallpox. 45 for measles, is for
diphtheria and one for scarlet fever
during 1920. Nearly 100 individuals
were affected. There were II ty-
phoid fever cases, none of which, Dr.
Kavanaugh says, could be traced to
the city's drinking water Persons af-
flicted, in most cases, drank water
from wells within the city limits
Pendleton was particularly free
from tuberculosis cases. the report
shows, only four cases having come to
the attention of the city physician.
