President Taft complimented the administration of Secretary Bnlllngcr, saying that under his watchful eye the land laws would bo administered Impartially and for the best interests of the people at large. A great crowd gathered to hear the President, but many left shortly after he began, being unable to catch his words. The speech was not elvcn i In advance to the press until Ballin- ger placed his O. K. upon It. Prep aration of the speech was put off A?" fc -Tor ntil late last night. The President tired at 1 o clock this morning, and r two hours afterwards his secre tary ground waay at his notes on the typewriter, lie was at it again (his morning before 5 o'clock. Taft arose before C o'clock to make cor rections. Then Ballinger was sn pi nioned and went over it word for m wora. in rne meantime, a local reception committee called at the car to tnke Taft to breakfast. It was kept wait ing a long time, and when Taft fin ally appeared smiling he was greeted . with frosty applause. After break fast at the Chamber of Commerce.

Matinee Every Afternoon - 4- TlllKIUl' I.OS1S NOTHS. In Germany there are 99 public sanatoria for adult consumptives with 10.539 beds, besides 3t private sanatoria with 2.175 beds. Iu IS sanatoria for children with tubercul osis there are 837 beds, at total of less than 13,000 beds. In the United States there are over 300 sanatoria with over 1 5,000 beds, showing that this country is in the lead in the anti-tuberculosis war. France has only 12 sanatoria Tor adult consump tives, with a total capacity of 14S beds. All of these Institutions are private exceut the sanatoria at Agln court. The United States government op erates three tuberculosis eanator iuuis, one for soldiers and ollicers of the regular army at Fort Bayard, N. M.; one for seamen In the mer chant marine, and others employed in coast service of the government, net In the navy, located at Fort Stan ton, N. M.; and one for ofllcers and enlisted men of the navy at Las Ani mas. Col. The first hospital is con ducted by the Department of War; the second by the United States Pub lic Health and Marine Hospital Ser vice, and the latter by the Navy De partment. On the basis of 150,000 deaths yearly from tuberculosis. In the Uni ted States the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tub erculosis computes that there are 684,934 persons constantly sick with the disease. Allowing only $500 as the average earnings of the worklng mau who dies, the annual loss to the country from the ranks of labnr alone. Is over $114,000,000 each year. Prof. Kary Pearson's theory that the first born children of a marriage ire more likely to fall victims to consumption than the latter-born off spring has been freshly tested by Prof. Va,n der Velden of Frankfort from material furnished by Prof. Uiffell of Karlsruhe, who shows from in Investigation of 2,500 families 'hat in normal families the fourth, fifth and sixth children are more lia ble to die of tuberculosis, than are the first, second and third. That poverty is a friend to con sumption is demonstrated by some -erent German statistics, which show that of 10.000 well-to-do persons, 4 0 annually die of consumption; of the anie number only moderately well-to-do, 66; of the same number really poor, 77; and of paupers, 97. Ac cording to John Burns the famous English labor leader, 90 per cent of he consumptives In London receive harltahle relief In their homes. According to United States Con ular reports, the tuberculosis death ate is twice as large iu Syria and Turkey as it is In the United States. There is only one special hospital for this disease in the entire Ottoman Empire. National Anti-Tuberculosis Asso iations have recently been formed n Russia and Greece. Similar or ganizations are now in existence la the United States. England, Ger many, Sweden, Switzerland, Hun gry, Italy and France. Dr. Bertillon, the eminent French vita! statistician, has shown that tuh;:ulr;sis Is twice as prevalent intone the retail liquor dealeis of France as among other shopkeepers. Ic attributes f.t to the fact that the alcohol which they handle and use all day long weakens their bodies and thus renders them more suscep tible to the disease germs. Statistics published by the Imper ial Gazette show that In recent years there has been a steady decrease In the number of deaths lu Germany from tuberculosis, and especially from tuberculosis of the lungs. In Urban centers the death -rate per ino. 000 fell from 226.6 in 1903 to 192.15 in 1908. letters and mail-bags are freqjient carriers of tuberculosis. According to the testimony recently given be fore the Postal Commissioner of the British Empire, during the last 20 years, 80 per cent of the deaths among letter sorters had been due to consumption, contracted by the men after they had entered the ser vice. For 1,000 active troops In tho ar mies of the great world powers, the following figures show the percen tage of cases of pulmonary tubercul osis: United States, 4.72; Great Britain and colonies, 2.4; France, 5.3; Germany. 1.5; Austria, 1.0; and Russia. 2.7. The percentage in the general population is much larger. Improper breathing is a frequent cause of consumption. A large ma foritv of people are too lazy or too ignorant to breathe deep, and hence the lungs are developed only to par of their capacity and thus affords fertile field for the growth of tne tuberculosis germ. The death rate from tuberculoid among the Chinese residents of the United States is 658. 5. and among the Japanese 239 per 100,000 living while among the white population of the country the rate Is 13. According to tests made recently on 728 children from the tenement house wet Ion of New York City. 28 per emit showed signs of tuberculosis either of the joints, glands or lungs. In the prisons of Bengal. India, tuberculosis kills about two prison ers in every 1 00. Consumption Is a common disease among plants and flowers, being most frequent In house plants. Tuberculosis among the Insane Is vurv prevalent. The lowest esti nQtes show that 5 per cent of all the inmates of hospitals for the in sane in the United States have tuber culosis, while In some cases the rate is over 20 per cent SALEM RESIDENTS Sl'K - O.N PAVING CONTRACT. SALEM. Or., Sept. 27. A suit was started today by Charles K. Spauld fng, George L. Rose and other resi dents of Court street to test the or dinances under which Court street was recently paved by Warren Bros.' bitullthic, and to restrain the chief of police and city recorder from col lecting the assessment for the im provement. The complainants remonstrated against the use of bitullthic some months ago and allege that the ordin ances under which the same material is used were illegally euaeted aud therefore null and void. SHOT AT CHAIUVAUI. McMINNVILLE, Or., Sept. 27. James Laurence, farmer, father of 10 children and member of a chari vari party that visited tho home oi Jesse Townsend last night, was shot through the chest and instantly killed by tho bridegroom. The kill- ng took place seven miles north west of here, in Happy Valley. Townsend is also a middle aged man; he Is said to have grandchild ren. Townsend was married seven days ago, but the surprise party was put off by his neighbors until Sunday night, when they were least busy. Woman and children accompanied the men and the apparent Intention was to spend a pleasant evening at the Townsends. When they arrived. however, Townsend had retired. He lept upstairs. The party got Into the house and with typical charivari spirit proceed ed upstairs also. Townsend arose in belligerent mood and drove them down again. They left the house, but soon came back. As they reached the door again, Townsend fired the single shot that struck Laurence. A ritle was used. Townsend surrendered to the men if the party, who, nervous lest other neighbors do some violence, brought their prisoner to McMtnnvIlle by a roundabout way, arriving at 1:30 this morning. Apprehensive that the news of the killing had preceeded hem aud that a mob might have ormed, they held Townsend at the edge of tewn and sent In for a depu ty. . Deputy Sheriff Blair came out, s'iired Townsend and put him lu jail here. Laurence was a rancher of good refutation; Townsend has been a icaceable man. The two had no previous trouble, so far as known hero now. Laurence, in addition to .be 10 children. Is survived by a widow. Tho family is in poor clr- um't a uces. WATER ON 120,000 .

Refused to Ix-t Whitney Store Cook's Records AlMmrd Roosevelt Cook KeepM Temper. PORTLAND, Me.. Sept. 27."! wish to emphasize that the relations between Whitney aud myself were at all times white he was aboard the Roosevelt and when he left to go aboard the Jennie- were the rela tions as betweeu gentlemen," said Commauder Peary today, as he was about to board the train for Bar Harbor. "Whitney occupied Captain ItartletCs cabin on tho Roosevelt, ate at our mess and every courtesy was extended to him. Most of Whitney'h personal belongings are now on the Roosevelt, Including musk ox, bear skins, etc." Peary said Whitney had been his guest at Etah for a year. Up to the moment he last saw Whitney, PouTy said, he did not consider it conceiv able that Whitney could have any valuable instruments or documents of Dr. Cook's. In fact, Whitney stated Hint he merely had some of Dr. Cook's belongings and asked to put them aboard the Roosevolt. Knew What Cook Was Up To. "This I refused to permit for ob vious reasons." said Peary, "1 knew what Cook was up to, and that he had been trying to take every ad vantage of my life's work aud sup plies.. Therefore, I did not enre to make the Roosevelt an express for Dr. Cook. As for Whitney living a year on iny supplies, he was perfectly welcome to them, and he should have considered himself my guest during tho year Jie was hunting from Etah." Peary saya ho does not believe Cook left records, instruments or Hags with Whitney, and cannot con celvo that, any man under the clrciim stances would havo left such price less things behind. Cook Unruffled. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Sept. 28. Dr. Cook today made tho following state ment: "My instruments aro not lost; I am sure or that, if UMiad known what I know now, I should not havo left either records or instruments at Etah. "The Americnn flag which I had hoisted at tho North Polo I gave to Mr. Whitney at his special request. He had It In his private trunk when ho went aboard the Roosevelt, but he was not permitted to bring It with him. I lu was compelled to take It out of tho trunk and bury It.

K. church Monday morning which announced a ticket for the city offices to be filled at the regular election next Mon- day. has occasioned more com- me nt. than anything that has happened here for some time past. Needless to say, that comment Is far from being commendatory. Judging from this comment that meeting seems to be generally consld- ered as having A. C. Marstera as its leading spirit and that he practically dictated the ticket. As It is known that for the past two months he has been trying to work up a support for himself as a candidate for May- or, Dili in u od in tne attempt, the natural assumption 1b that V the ticket named at this meet- lug represents his ideas. As it ! Is also known that he has op- posed tho street paving move ment In every possible way E without fighting In the open, k tins ticket Is meeting a very cool reception among tho pro- . h gresslve people of the town. A large amount of time and money has been spent here In the past two years for city Improvements and the voters will now ho vory careful uot to put the city a affairs in the hands of auyonn whom they I are not sure will continue this progressive movement, I NIVERSITY ADDS INDUSTRIAL PLAN. EUGENE, Sept. 25. The Eugene Bible University, a denominational Institution conducted by the Chris tian church, has bought a 75-acre tract of land lying just south of the city limits, and it will be farmed by students or the scluol who are in need or assistance to get through tho Institution. Tho farm will be planted to fruit trees, berries and vegetables, aud there will be a small field of grain to furnish forage for horses and cows. A dormitory will bo built for the students who will be employed on the farm. Frank L. Chambers, a Eugene hardware dealer, has donnted a tract of land near the university's farm on which the dor mitory will be built. The land do- ttntoil hv it I i.i (B u..rth n,ni ti nnn The building will cost between $5, ooo and $10,000. The Bible University has moro than 100 students who have come from all sections of the Pacftc North west, and with the addition of the farm. It Is expected Ijy President E. C. Sanderson that the enrollment will be much greater, as many young men who desire to attend the school cannot do so on account of limited means. "Keen Hinlllne."
