THE -STJXDAT PORTLAND, JANUARY 11, 1914. GEHTRALIA TO HAVE HEW WATER PLANT Jyphoid Epidemic Abated, City Begins on Wide Campaign v to Prevent Recurrence. GRAVITY SYSTEM ORDERED Delay In Voting Bonds Partly Re sponsible for Disease Outbreak, Is BeliefEmergency Organ ization Most Efficient. CENTRALLY Wash.. Jan. 10. (Spe cial.) While it will bo soma time yet before the City of Ceatralia entirely recovers from the effects of the typhoid epidemic, the backbone of the epldemlo has been broken. No new cases have been reported this week and the srat majority of thf se afflicted are speedily recovering. Now that the epidemic has been checked, the city and county health authorities are turning- their attention to preventing its repetition. Under the supervision of City Engineer Stanley llacomber every home in the city Is being visited and the householders In structed to clean up wherever there might contain disease-bearing mater ials. All wooden garbage barrels have been confiscated and the owners In structed to replace them with sanitary galvanized iron receptacles. Floods Clean Up Streams. It la believed that the floods this week will go far toward clearing the streams and ditches of all contamina tion. State and Federal health experts who were here off and on during: the epi demic have attributed its sourch to the local water system. The epidemic oc curred just as all plans had been laid for the construction of a municipal gravity water system. The fight for gravity water started two years ago, and bad the first election carried, the typhoid would undoubtedly never have broken out. Bonds to the amount of $300,000 were voted in December, 1912, for the purchase of the local plant of the Washington-Oregon Corporation and the building of the gravity sys tem. The local plant was purchased last June, but It was not until last month that the contract for building the gravity system was let to W. H. Mitchell, a. Seattle contractor. Mr. Mitchell will begin work on the sys tem next week. The system will cost about $135,000. .The intake will be located "14 miles up the Newaukum River, In an unopened territory, thus insuring a water supply of undoubted purity. Consulting En gineers Kelsey and Stannard, of Port land, who have surveyed the route of the pipeline and inspected the intake, assert that there is sufficient water, 'even In the dry season, to supply a city of 0.000 population. Until the com pletion of the plant, which will be about January. 1915, both County Health Of ficer Dr. E. L. Knlskern and City Health Officer Dr. David Livingstone have advised local householders to boll their water. Residents Rally to KIKkt. Centralis authorities and residents are deserving of unlimited praise for the manner in which they rallied to the fight against the epidemic, as well as for the willingness they are now showing in according the health of ficers every aid in their work of clean ing up. The worst of the epidemic came in the midst of the Christmas season, but the merchants laid aside all thought of personal loss. When it was found that there were patients in the poorer homes of the city who could not afford hospital care, the state offered the use of the Armory as a hospital. The state fur nished cots and bedding was donated from the private homes of the city, while many of the local business houses furnished needed supplies free. Even with these donation, It was seen that the expenses of the emergency hospital would be great, and the Lewis County Commissioners, through Chairman E. E. Teachnor, came to the front with an offer to stand all of the expense. Kmergeury Organization tiood. Local women volunteered as nurses and Seattle send down an Interne from the emergency hospital of that city to take charge. When he was forced to return the Btate sent down four doc tors. II. M. Robinson, secretary of the Centralia Commercial Club, was placed at the head of this force. Those who Inspected the hospital were amazed that such an efficient organization could have been perfected on such short notice. That It was efficient is evi denced by the fact that some of the worst cases : bn record were confined there and that only one death occurred. The metropolitan dailies of the Northwest contained accurate accounts of the situation, and that this was ap predated was evidenced In the resolu tions of thanks to the Portland, Ta coma and Seattle papers passed at this week's luncheon of the Commercial Club. California papers had 1994 cases of typhoid, while even In Grays Har bor the report was current that those afflicted were dying faster, than the undertakers could bury them. Less than 300 cases were reported and only li aeatns. POULTRY AWARDS IDE EDWARD SCHOEL SLIDE UEiD OF WILLAMETTE ASSOCIATION. the cup for the best pen of chickens displayed by an amateur exhibitor.

MCMINNVILLE, Or, Jan. 10. (Spe cial.) D. O. Durham, 87 years old, who moved to McMinnville more than B0 years ago, and who was for many years a prominent man of this com munity, passed away In Camas. Wash., Tuesday. The funeral was held here from Macy's parlors on-Wednesday. In terment "was in Masonic cemetery, the Rev. , Joseph Hoberg officiating. Mr. Durham was born In New Tork and went to Illinois while a boy. He came to Oregon in J 852, first settling at Mlddleton and moving to this city in 1862 where he resided until three years ago, when he moved to Camas, Wash. He was married to Sylvia Clark, July 30, 1853. His wife . died November 18, 189S. Four children were born Ezra J.. Walter H., James E.. and Jesse E. Durham. Jesse died February 1876. Walter H. and James E. Durham were present at the burial of their father. which outlined a cost of living in vestigation as one of the preliminaries to the fixing- of minimum wages in various industries, today made public the compilations of replies received from 138 employers of women, In re sponse to a request for an estimate of what expenditure is necessary, in each of a list of 30 Items, -for maintenance. The comparatively high estimate made by the employers'' is regarded- as significant, in view of the fact that the average is considerably In excess of the jainimum wage fixed in Oregon and also considerably in excess of the average wages paid female employes In this state, previous investigations in dicating that the average wages in various Industries looked Into is be tween $8 and $9. The difference in the averages is caused by two separate methods of compilation having been adopted. Esti mates in detail were asked, but many of the employers neglected, for various reasons, to fill out various items. Averaging all the items separately, and' adding the result, gives a composite estimate of $535.10 for a year, or $10.29 for a week. On the other hand, an average of the totals of all the esti mates gives Jd09.91 for the year, or $9.81 per week. As instances of the various omis sions, it is stated that two of the employers gave no estimates of the cost of room aid board, stating 'all their employes lived with their families. On the other hand 44 employes ma-dc no estimate for Insurance and 32 did not Include streetcar fare as a necessary expenditure.

In an effort to educate the people of this state up to the ad vantage of giving preference to Oregon-made products, was the speaker at an Oregon-made dinner given last niirht by the Improvement Club.

W. Corner Third and ISdorrison EMPLOYE IS LOSER Washington Compensation Act Places Burden on Him. REPORT SHOWS SITUATION Injured Get Average Dally Award of $1.35, Pay $1.12 for Medical Aid and Lose $3.1(3 In Sal .ary Accidents Increase. . OLTJIKA, Wash., Jan. 10. (Special.) That the employe, rather than the employer, Btlll bears the major share of the loss from Industrial accidents. is shown by the second annual report of the Industrial insurance commission. which has Just been Issued. In 1722 cases, regarded as typical. In which the cost of medical treatment was given, the following: averages have been compiled: Average dally wage or injured worn- man, $3.12. Average dally award under compen sation act. 1.35. ' Average dally cost of medical treat ment during disability. $1.12. Since the Washington law lacks a first-aid clause, no provision Is made at present for bearing the cost of med ical attendance by the state, while the state award for time loss averages less than half the employes' actual loss. Stating that the question of the suf ficiency of the award has been seri ously raised by the workmen, the Com mission. In its foreword to the report, says it will reserve any recommenda tions for amendment of the law for the next annual report, which will be submitted to the 14th Legislature, and which will embody the experience of the Commission through a greater period of time. The Commission praises the com pulsory feature of the Washington act. "The operation of the law convinces us," the Commissioners state, "that in order to have the harmonious, cohesive support of the employer and employe. all must come within its provisions." The report comments on the marked Increase In the number of accidents reported durlner the second year. Dur ing the first year under the law 6356 claims were tabulated; during the sec ond year, 12,380. This remarkable Increase, the Com. mission states, is due primarily to two causes the fact that claims of at least two months of the first year over lapped into the report for the second year, and the employment In hazardous Industries of at least 25.000 more men during the year just past. However, the Commission comments, the results for the year demonstrate "that Indus trial hazard ' has, at least, not been materially lessened. The report indicates that a surprls ingly small percentage of the accidents could have been prevented by-lnstalla- tlon of mechanical safeguard. Class 10. including all operators In the logging and lumber1 industry, is made the subject of a special report covering several pages. Of the 47.54S workmen engaged in the industry, 268 or one of every 355, met death during the year. SACKS OF FLOUR ON BEACH Fourteen Packages Believed Txst by River Steamer. ASTORIA. Or., Jan. 10.

Mayor Lambert says: "I .beg to state that there has been no order or communication of any sort whatsoever received by me from Gov ernor West, press reports to the con trary notwithstanding. "I dislike to go Into print regarding this matter, as it furnishes us with unwarranted cheap advertising, and, had the Sheriff of this county not taken seriously the Insinuations con tained in the news reports, I would not have attempted to take any offi cial cognizance of the reports "Had the Governor desired to Issue any such order, he should first have forwarded the order and then per mitted the same to. become known from outside sources, but either he has made false representations or the press has overstepped in its eagerness for news and should make an apology. "We are a farming and stock-raising community, are composed of as law abiding citizens as are found in any city of the Northwest of the same size. The conduct of our saloons is carefully guarded, and I believe the business Is as legitimately carried on here as any business of like nature within the state.
