BAN LIFTED IN WEEK Conference is Hbldl Today With State Health Officer Seely Advises Unit ;; Quarantine lie Hold For Alio-, ther WeekNo Now Cases, A conference was held this morn ing by City Health Officer - B. R. Shoemaker s with Or, A. 0. Seely, state health officer. In regard to the Spanish influenza situation in Rose burg, and the latter official, upon recommendation of the' local: health officer, has ordered that the quaran tine ban remain on the city of Rose burg for nt least .another week. While the number of cases are grad ually dlniishing It is thought that the wisest plan will be to . follow the above course is a general and united effort to Btamp out the'epideinic here and a week more of quarantine will, without doubt, completely extermin ate all signs of the "flu". The num erous fatalities of the past week In Roseburg and Douglas county Impressed- forcibly upon the. minds of every man, woman and cilld the stern realty of the deplorable results of influenza and a greater and more systematic effort' lias been made by all to prevent the spread of the dis ease which has cost so many precious lives In this community. Many local citizens have, In their effort to evade the influenza; taken the serum which was supplied the local physicians by the State iBoard of Health- and re ports from these precautions Indicate that while In every case the serum does not serve altogether as a pre ventative, the cases are much lighter and . complications are ' nil; It has been discussed generally and com munications have come in from every corner of the city and'.-county as to the beneficial resultB of wearing the gauge masks. - In spunking-of- the wearing of masks the Surgeon Gen erals office advises: "That the wear ing of gauge masks should be com pulsory for those in close contact with the sick, but snould be worn voluntary by the general public.' Gen eral use for public wear Is probably Impracticable." The Surgeon General's office in a communication to the County and City Health Officers explains In n definite manner the reporting of the Spanish influenza and what includes the "flu" as follows: v "The nomen clature of this disease has been made somewhat confusing by the numerous contributions from the lay public. It Is advised that in reporting that the term influenza shall Include the mild as well as the severe cases, of what Is usually known as La grippe", "Grip", "flu", "Spanish influenza", "Three day Fever, also the so-called severe colds. This of courso does not Include the ordinary uncomplicated coryza or cold in the head. Pneumonia Is nlso Included in the reports, as this Is a complication of the Influenza.' - The county Spanish Influenza situ ation Is greatly Improved, aorording to county nealth officer K. L. Miller, and In several towns the epidemic has been completely stamped out with no reports of cases for the past four days. Dr. Miller stated today that after centering with the Mayors city nhysicians ana citizens of Olendale, Riddle, Myrtie Creek, Sutherlln, Wil bur, Drain and Yoncalla,- that In many or these towns the situation is entirely relieved andi that public ac tivities will be resumed Monday. In the districts of Ollala, Ten Mile. Looking Glass, Winchester and Can yonvllle schools will be opened, should no cases be reported from there before Monday as the 'flu" situation in these respective dlstrics is relieved. Gardiner, Reedsport and Oakland will remain under the qua rantine ban anotner week as will several other smaller districts where the epidemic 1s at its crest. Dr. Mil ler stated! to a News representative today, that the citizens, pnysiciane and city officials of the varlouB Dou glas county towns and districts had made possible the splendid results obtained so for because of their earn est cooperation with the county health board and in nearly every town In the county orders. were obey ed promptly and without question.

The time to strike Is at the polls and every ethorlal measure which Yalls to measure up to genuine public service requirements, should be most vigorously swatted. - 'One man, or a single group of 'men, may kill the Initiative and referen dum. A proposed measure, If actu ated by personal spltowork, political Jealousy, or kindred motives, will do more to abolish the Oregon system, when orTce' placed on the statute books, than a hundred direct attacks on the initiative and referendum. A safe and sane plan for the vo ters to follow, If they would preserve the sanctity oi the Oregon system, is to vote a general "NO" on all meas ures submitted for consideration of the people, unless the Intent of the fiamers Is clear beyond question, and the voter can bob genuine merit In the bill. When. In douut, vote "NO" should be the slogan. In 99 cases out of a hundred this rule, If follow ed1, will do moro to preserve the Ini tiative and referendum, than any other course at the polls.

Then too. are the JuckBon bills, proposed by Initiative petition, to abolish the delinquent tax ; publica tion law and to establish a different rate for legal advertising. Both are creatures of Sam Jackson, editor of the Portland Journal," who Ib socking a golden opportunity to even up old scores with the state press of Oregon. A few years ago the state presB snowed under the single tax measure, which Brother . jHCkcon saW fit to foster. It was r. bitter pill, andi now under the guise of so-called war time necessity, Jackson would even matters up with the press, at the expense of the taxpayers, whose pro perty, under the proposed Jackson delinquent tax bill, will be left to the mercies of the tax title grabber. The legal rate olll Ir lower than the same charges made Dy legislatures In most ot the states of the union, and while Mr. Jackson knows that newspaper cost have gone up from 30 to 100 per cent during the past year, as In all lln s of industry, he tnlnks the 'present rate of 6 cents per line should be lowered at this particular time. The personal spite work element figures largely, in the Jackson bills. This is Bhown part icularly In the delinquent tax meas ure. The present law provides that mail notice be sent out. Jackson's substitute measure provides the same thing. The present law provides for publication ONLY after mall notice has failed to notify. In spite of .this fact, there never yet has anoeared a clear statement-. of the present law in the Journal's contemptible cam paign to cloudi the Issue before the voters..
