New Yobk, Aug. 27. Hamburg spec
ials show that the cholera there contin
ues to increase and grow in virulence in
spite of all precautions of the authorities
to stay the spread of the disease. It lias
reached London, by steamer Gemma.
The Gemma was reported to be infected,
but the authorities, after examining the
passengers, allowed them to land. A
few hours afterward two women, who
arrived on the Gemma, were taken sick.
They were at once taken to the hospital
at liravesend, wnere tne doctors pro
nounced their malady cholera. In spteH,Wcti0Dable-
Not One Clause Acceptable to The Hood
Ktrer People.
That citizens of Hood River adopt the
position of The Chbonicle, on the sub
ject of a corporation grasping all the
rights of the public to the waters of the
Inland Empire, is pretty clearly attested
by the proceedings of the citizens of
school district No. 2, assembled at their
school houso last Wednesday evening
to coneider the proposition of G. W
McCoy of Portland to construct an irri
sating: ditch and furnish water to the
farmers of the valley. 8. F. BIythe was
elected chairman and J- F. Armer secro-
i tary of the meeting. After the chair
man had stated the object of the meet
ing the secretary read the blank contract
furnished by Mr. McCoy
On motion, the secretary was asked
to read the contract' a second time for
the important points to be discussed be
tween the reading.
The main points ot the contract were
i then thoroughly discussed, no part of
the contract finding favor with the audi
ence. The features of the contract most
objectionable were the clauses embrac
ing the agreement for ninety-nine years,
the mortgage of the lands to be irrigated
for that length of time, the giving to
towns the precedence in the use of water
when by any means the supply is limited,
giving the company sixty feet right of
way over lands irrigated and the right
to come upon the land and say how the
water shall be used, and the surrender
of all rights, whether reparian or other
wise, in existing water courses to t he
company. This latter clauBe was most
of medical aid, they died shortly after
being admitted. This caused consider
able anxiety, and a close inspection of
all incoming vessels has been ordered.
When the steamer Laura, also from
Hamburg, arrived at Lynn, with cholera
suspects on board, the vessel was imme
diately ordered to put back to sea. The
officers and passengers protested against
such summary treatment, but the health
officers were obdurate and refused to let
a single person land from the steamer.
Antwerp dispatches notify the world
that the Sheldt board of health has
'taken action such, as is likely to cause
little reliance to be placed on bills of
health issued by it. It has announced
that . it sees no reason to make any
change in its bills of health on account
of a -iew suspicious cages of sickness
coming from Harve and Hamburg. It
will, therefore, continue to deliver bills
of health. ' As it is indisputably proven
that Asiatic cholera is present in Ant
werp, the health authorities of other
cities will know the value of clean bills
of health issued by the Sheldt board. - -I
(juebec is alarmed at the imperfect
quarantine station on tne til. Lawrence,
now mat tnecnoiera nas obtained a foot
hold in the Elbe district, in Germany,
and because of the number of German
vessels coming annually into Quebec,
' and the large trade carried on between
German ports. Now, however, that the
coldest weather is near, both the doctors
and everyone else are beginning to
breathe more freely. ' A medical man
has expressed the belief that, if the dis
ease does not put in an appearance
within the next fortnight, all danger
, will be then over.
uur own neaitn ouicers are preparing
to fight off the cholera should it make
its appearance here. Dr. Edson, the
sanitary superintendent, thinks cholera
will undoubtedly reach this port within
the next week or ten days, as 60,000 im
migrants, in round numbers, were
brought into the United States from tin?
ports of Hamburg, Bremen, Antwerp
and Havre, during the months of June
ara July last, and the stream has not
diminished thus far during the month
of August, -it is estimated that between
6,000 and 7,000 are now en route from
cholera-infected ports, destined for New
xork, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Bos
tun. ids taBK oi inspecting these un
welcome arrivals and disinfecting their
oaggage win De no light undertaking
It is said that from and after this date
the embarkation of immigrants for the
United States from Germany and Rus
sia will be practically suspended until
frost comes, by mutual understanding
between the steamship lines and the
treasury officials of the United States.
The contract as a whole, was rejected
by unanimous vote. On motion it was
decided to have the proceedings of this
meeting published in the Glacier. On
motion it was decided to meet at the
same place Saturday evening, Sept. 3d,
to further consider the water question.

About the State Taxes.
According to a table prepared by the
state officers, Wasco county has a bal
ance standing against her of $1,414.36.
. The table shows that our county board
of equalization returned a total of $2,-
. 660,036 assessable valuation for the
county. This sum was raised hv t.hn
fltate board to $2,942,908, which, under
a decision of the supreme court was re
tained, making the total state tax of the
county $14,714.54, of which the above
balance remains unpaid. Delinquences

average democratic organ is beyond com
prehension. The party organs are talk

so effective work being done, nor any to

defeat the republican party in Oregon is
in the fusion of democrats and people's

Lautlall Auction by Boards of Health
Upon the Baking Powder Question. '
Boards of health can engage in no
more commendable action than the ex
amination of our food supply and the
instruction of the public as to those ar
ticles which are found to be pure and
wholesome, and which, therefore, con
sumers should use.
Action of this kind with . the baking
powders' is particularly ' opportune.
There are quantities of baking powders
in the market, to use which is certain
detriment to the health of the con
sumer. They are made from alum, or
improperly compounded . from other
chemicals, so that they leave a strong
alkaline residuum' in the . food. Many
of these powders, having proved unsal
able in the east; have been collected by
the manufacturers from' the dealers with
whom they weie left, on commission,
and shipped to the Pacific coast. In
the effort to gain a foothold in this mar
ket, unscrupulous ' manufacturers ' of
these cheaply made, low grade baking
powders have indulged in extravagant
statements, both with reference to their
own and other brands, claiming the
most improbable indorsements for theirs'
and defaming the brandsbest known
and longest used upon' the Pacific coast
The following extracts, froa the re
ports of some of our well-known health
authorities, will be of particular inter
est: .' "
The state chemist of Washington,
Prof. G. A. Bethuue, says: "There is.
therefore, no question but the Royal is
the strongest, purest and most whole
some baking powder in the market."
The Seattle board of health says :
"Finding in analysis that it is made of
the highest grade of cream of tartar and
bicarbonateof soda, and is entirely free
from any adulteration, we heartily
recommend the Royal baking powder
for its great strength, purity and whole
someness." -
The: Tacoma board 'of health 6ays:
"In our judgment, the Royal is the
best and strongest baking powder be-!
fore the public. We confidently recom
mend it because of .'ts purity and care of
preparation."
The Spokane city board of health re
ports: "There is certainly no baking
powder known to us equal to the Roj al
for strength and uniform quality, and
we recommend it for its absolute purity
and wholesonieness.
The board of health of the city of San
Francisco, after extended tests, said of
the Royal, "that it is absolutely pure
and healthful, composed of the best in
gradients, of the highest strength and
character;" the health officer of Los
Angeles reported that "it "was clearly
demonstrated and proven that the Royal
baking powder is pure and wholesome,
and that it stands, as far as strength
and purity are concerned, at the head
of the baking powders of the United
States;" while the state chemist of Cal
norma, Prof. Rising, found the Royal
superior in strength and purity to all
' '. " " Checked
