What appear to be an epidemic of rabies, though somewhat different from the usual form of hydrophobia, seems prevalent In certain sections of Clackamas county, and County Veterinarian W. B. Eddy Tuesday flight visited both Clackamu Station and the Oak Grove locality, wnere case hud been reported. The first ruse develoued at Clackamas Htatlon, when sometime ago a dog owned by j, Jone wa bitten by polecats and soon developed what Is commonly known a dumb hydrophobia. A few days later the animal bit a heifer, and the second creature oon developed Indication of having been Innoculntcd with the malady, tne Jone dog mbseqaently died, and Dr. Eddy Drocured the earcass and sent it to the state bacteriological depart ment for anulysl and examination, receiving a report that the dog un doubtedly had rabies. Dr. Lddy at once ordered a strict quarantine o' all animal that might have been bitten by '.he beast and requested resident of tho community to report to mm ai once any Indication or sickness among dogs or cattle. Monday he received a report from Oak Grove that a young girl living near Courntncy bad been bitten by dog, and that hydrophobia was leared, On Investigating Tuesday he wa vn able to determine whether the animal bad marked symptoms of the disease or not, and will watch the case care fully. The case so far reported to him have made aulck diagnosis OifU cult owing to the fact that the dog do not exh b t the ordinary lnaica- Hons of the most virulent from the mnlndv. but Instead became morose and apparently sleepy, sometime dy ing w ithout any spasms or violence. In thl feature of the apparent epi demic lies the greatest danger of a spread of the disease. Dogs that may have been bitten and Inoculated by sufferers from the malady are all be ing closely watched, and many of tbcm are being kept penned up. Chil dren have all been warned to keep away from strange dogs, and not to attempt to pet them; and It has been suggested that any person having the misfortune to be bitten by a dog. whether the animal has been hereto fore suspected or not, at once e!k the advice and treatment of a physi cian. In the meantime Dr. Eddy la keep ing as close wa'.ch upon the animal In the county as is possible, so that there mav be no Bnread of the dis ease.

"When Tour Back la Lame Remem ber the Name." come. , His Dlan Is to use the existing wens which he hns on his property near Canby, and to drive a new well If the supply from one Is not sufficient. He states In this way he can secure any uantlt7 of water, which the city requires. From the wells to Oregon City a pipe line 16 inches in diameter enj nlnA TTI Ilea lone would be laid by Mr. Lee. and the water could be de livered direct into the city resevoir at Mountain View. From this place It could be distributed about the city in the present main. Mr. Lee says that he ha the prop osition already financed, and should the city act favorable upon the sub ject he could begin at once laying me main to Oreeon City, and would in several months be able to turnisn u with good water. He would ask the city to pay over to the company furnishing the water so ner cent of the gross revenue paid to the water department by the con snmers. He would also ask a 2o years' franchise to furnish the city with water, allowing the city at the end of each five years to take over his plant. If they should so desire. This could be done by merely paying the company the valuation, which might be fixed by a boaid of examiner. Through Chairman F. J. Tooze, of the special councllmanic committee on wtaer supply, options were se cured today upon 2.48 acres of the Ladd property in the Mbunt Pleas ant district, and plans wi'l be made at once for the boring" of test -Ls- to obtain a claar and sanitary water supply for the city. The negotia tions were brought to a close upon ,orm most favorable to the city through the untiring and steady work of the committee, which has been seeding a new water source for th past several weeks. The option runs for 90 days, and it 1b believed that within that time several wells can be driven, and de termination reached as to whethet the water will be of sufficient clear, -o., .nj e-nnd oualitv to make It ad visable for the city to purcnase mo nroDerty and erect tnereon a pump ing plant and head supply station. The site was securea parity uiu recommendation of an expert hy- draul engineer, whose aavice u been of much aid to tne special com mittee in their search for a water supply that would not only serve the present needs of the city; but that would provide a sufficient flow of water to meet all future require ments. During the past week the commit tee visited many -sites that had been under consideration, but was unable to close a deal with, other owners owing to ths inflated values placed upon property as soon as It wns dis covered that a water supply was be ing sought. Many people seemed to regard the pressing need of the city for a new source 01 suppiy as b" en opportunity to get rich quick, and figures quoted to the special committee were both astounding and appalling. The Ladd interests, how ever, expressed a desire to co-operate with the city, and have made ex cellent terms, it is said. Investigations so far conducted lead to the belief that there Is abund .o ,f mire water underlying the Ladd property, and that some of it will rise to the surfac In artesian wells as soon as shafts are sunk. It may be necessary, however, to install a pumping plant to get a sufficient supply to the surface to provide the volume of water that will be requir ed for municipal consumption. With the water once at the surface, the elevation of the ground is sufficient to provide an excellent neaa 01 wa ter In the pipes, and to give a con stantly available fire pressure in the buBluess section of the city. If the munclpallty purchase the site upon which the option has been procured, the area will be made a re serve, and In thlsh way all possible sources of contamination will be re moved. Indications are tsai ma wa ter Is running in a limestone forma tion, and It probably has its source hieh upon the snow-clad sides of the Cascades, or on Mount Hood. Hy draulic engineers say that th supply ought to prove one of the best In Western Oregon, aod the only ques tion that now remains to ba settled is whether or not a sufficient volume of flow can be obtained.
