All horse-owners, however, admitted that once an animal Is In fected it eventually dies. -The Incubation period seems to vary, but la usually of three weeks' duration. The horse, being a herbaceous animal, haa no desire or Inclination to bite, as would be the case with a carnivorous animal. Consequently the walking sjrmp'oms are more pronounced because of their habit of using muscles of the legs."

F. I'ernot. Professor Vrr not has been Investlitatln the disease for aoma montha past and submitted nia report to the State Board of Health yesterday at tta annual mulln? at ba- lem. Theettsease haa baffled all who have com In-contact with It and haa been called tha "walking disease, pcrni cloua anaemia, asarturea and blind tacejem. The -walking disease" waa tha mot common nam given to It. on account of tha peculiar actlona 01 in fected animals The disease la manifested In an anl mal when tha beast affected wants to walk continuously and tries particu larly to fallow moving object, without heed to any obstructions, autoii -fscted walk Into walls and barb-wlra fencea and Into obatructiona apparent ly without noticing them.

Thua far there la no way or treat in the disease known by Northwest experta. Dr. White waa instructed to Issue a bulletin on the subject aa soon aa the extent of hla Investigations war nnl that course. ! The disease seemed to have made Its iflrst appearance one and one-half yeara ago. when a drove or norses brought from Walla Walla. The own er atepped to water them on a ranch near Lexlnrton and about three weeks later the disease made Its appearance, tall the horses dying with one excep tion. II In all. i Disease la Three reaatlea. The disease was particularly preva lent In Morrow, Sherman and Gilliam 'count lea. Karly last Kail Professor 'ernot asked Dr. N. E. Winnard. of lieppner. County Health Officer of Mor row County, to send the brain of an animal that died of the disease. A mi croscopic examlnntloTi of a horse's raln waa made September 23 and ahowed the presence In large quantl tlea of neirrl bodies, the organisms that cause hydrophobia. Thereafter I'rofessor Pernot went to Meppner and. In company with Dr. Winnard. drove over the country, where he saw horses, calves, pigs and other animals In an infected state. He killed some of them and In all that he exam ined the presence of the hydrophobia terms waa discovered. To be abso lutely sure that hia tlndlnira were cor rect, he Inoculated the brain of a rab bit with some of the brain substance of an lnfcted horse'a brain and the rabbit developed a case of typical hy drophobia, la 60 days It died. Another rabbit waa then inoculated with substance of the brain from the first rabbit. In 11 daya the disease was produced In It and Ave days later it died In convulsions. Examination strain ahowed hydrophobia of a. mallg nant order. More than a doaen horse, calves and pics were received la the health office and all showed the pres ence of hydrophobia. royetea May Be te Blame. There are twr possible explanations for the manner In which animals were originally infected, say the luvestlira tors. una Is that they cot the dis ease front bites of domestic animals and the other la that It was contracted from bltea of coyotea while In the woods. It haa been demonstrated that the disease la highly contatcious. The symptoms, aa described by most horse-owners, were first noticed by a staring, vacant, fur-away look In the eyea In the animal, and by a desire to walk or travel continuously until death." says Professor Pernot In hla report. "Some of the horses stand con tlnuoualy. with heada drooping, lying down but a few minutes at a time. "Some kick and stamp with tha hind feet, and others walk without regard to fencea and other obstructions. Many of the horses are aerloualy cut and scratched by passing through barbed wire fences, which do not appear to check their progress.. They all show disturbance of the brain." "They are not only rraxy. they are more than crasy." said one horae-owner to Professor Pernot. Affected horses hava been known to walk over or through a team hitched to a wagon. The horses atop eating- aa the disease progresses, and many own era report that they will bite at atlcka and posts and eat earth. One owner reported that one of hla horses had gorged its mouth so full of straw that It waa Impossible to remove It after death. In almost all the cases the horse champ and grind their teeth. IVeak Back la SysaptoBa. Ia the last stages of the disease a weakness of the back and hind parts manifests Itself. One animal killed hail dragged Its hind feet so much aa to wear off the front part of the hoofs. The disease la communicated amons: the animate through the discharge from their nostrils and their eyes, and Is probably also transmitted through com mon use of the watering trough, says Professor Pernot. In the Senittlo Flat country alone last Summer 6vu horses were lost by the disease. "We found carcasses lying In the can yons, and oa various parts of the ranch, and It waa not an uncommon sight to see from II to :0 carcasses In all stages Of decomposition." said Profrrsor Per not. telling of his trip through an Infected-district. "No attempt waa made to bury, disinfect, or burn any of the bodies. On none of the animals viewed waa there evidences of attacks by coy tts or other wild animals. Ileaae Bewsedlea Tried. ! "There are many theorlea advanced ty veterinarians and horse-owners ss to the specific cause of the disease, and tha rrmedlea are many and varied. In One Instance a rancher saw he bad good results by pouring coal oil In the ears fcf the horse. Another obtained good results by bleedinr the horses, which was a reasonable treatment because It tended to relieve blood pressure from I. W. VV. RI0T IS NIPPED Member Berates City's Kniploytnent Affcnt. Policeman Appears. Enraged at the statement of J. P. Schroedcr. clerk of the Municipal Em ployment Bureau, that membera of the I. W. W. of Portland are Incompetent In handling work given tbcm by the Bureau. William Golding. organiser of that organization, caused trouble yes terday mornlog at the employment bu reau headquarters. Appearing at the office on Hecond street, he Is alleged to have abuse J Mr. ichroeder and threatened to "tlean out" the office. Mr. .Schroeder says Golding declared he mould have him out of the office Inside of two weeks If be had to use fnn-e- Mr. Schroeder says a riot was only prevented by the appearance of a policeman. Golding. Schroeder says, was one of the leaders In the recent l W . v troubles In Aberdeen. Wash-, and that much trouble haa been had with him and his followers In Portland, where many members of the L W. W. have assembled. It is probable police protection at the employment bureau will be necea sary. aa numerous threata of violence are aald to have been made by the members of the L W. VY. because of alleged discrimination against them by the clerks of the employment bu reau. GIRLS' HOME ADVOCATED Wood-took V. C. T. C. Begins Cam paign for Stat IntItotlon. That Oregon should provide an in dustrial itome for the protection snd benefit of girls, modeled after the Michigan plan, was advocated by the Woodstock Temperance Union, which met yesterday at the home of Mra. 1C C.

It waa an nounced that campaign would be started to obtain legislation for the es tablishment of such a home, besides lor other social reform measures. Provisions were made for the enter tainment of the county Institute In Woodstock next month, for which a programme Is under course of prep- ratlon.

PLEAS TO SANTA PUZZLE Postmaster Seeks Beat Manner to Reach Children. Postmaster Merrick confesses to a feeling of worry. He now has about half a dozen agencies clamoring for letters from poor children who do not expect to have any Chrlstmus of their own and have written to bant a Claus on the long chance that the genial old aalnt may not be a myth after alt. The postmaster la troubled because even when he parcela out the letters nto small parcels, there Is mighty tit le for the organisations at worn. He feels, he aays. that It Is a shame to per- it to run to waste all that perfectly good energy that might be turned Into giving some youngsters a Christmas they will remember. Shades of pathos, humor and regret Inge the letters he receives. Many are from children, but some are not. Every letter, however. Is being handled In some shape or form. It may be that the multitudinous wants of child hood will not all receive the attention which the youngsters desire, but "some thing will be done." anyway. PERSONALMENTION. J. E. Hall, of Newberg-.

A feeling of sadness accompanies the discovery of the first gray hairs, which, unfortunately, are looked upon ns heralds of advancing age. Gray hairs, however, are not always an In dication of advancing age, for many people have gray hairs quite early In life. Of course, it is unnatural and In'dlcates that there is something wrong with the Individual, and that nature needs assistance In correcting the trouble. The same Is true of hair that Is constantly falling out and be coming thinner every day. , If every thing is right with nature, the hair, even In comparatively elderly people, should be long, thick and glossy, with out even a streak of gray. The ideal assistant to nature In re storing and preserving the hair is Wyeth's age and Sulphur Hair Rem edy, a clean and wholesome dressing for dally use. It not only removes dandruff, but strengthens weak, thin and falling hair and promotes Its growth. A few applications will re store faded or gray hair to Its natural color.
