Apple Pickers Are
Needed InOrchards
With apple picking season well
under way, growers are badly In
need of additional pickers. Although
the labor situation in the apple or
chards is not as bad as last year, yet
nickers are needed in practically
every locality. Last year the extra
ordinarily large crop made necessary
the employment of a larger number
of pickers than had been arranged
for and the growers found them
selves unable to cope with the situa
tion. This year, however, the crop
althouKh normal is pot as large as
last year and consequently not as
many workers are needed, and as
many pickers were employed before
the season, the demand Is not as
Breat as formerly. However, picking
has been slowed up as a result of the
ralnv weather and thia results ln a
need for more help.
Church Outlook
Very Hopeful
The quarterly meeting at the
Christian church last night was a
larrgely attended meeting. The re
port from the church departments
were given and every one showed
progress. At the beginning of the
year the church adopted a program
of eleven items. Last night the pas
tor showed that at least eight of
these had already been fully met,
two were well under way, and but
one item of the eleven had remained
untouched. His report showed that
current expenses had. all beta fully
met, and that there was money In
the treasury. During the nine months
last 77 have united with the con
gregation, and the missionary offer
inirs were all met. The church de
cided to undertake the support of a
missionary In the Oregon field, and
have what they call their own Living
Link. The pastor will start east
Sunday night to be in attendance at
the national convention of the
church, which meets In St. Louis, be
ginning next Friday, The congre
gation is sending the minister. All
feel that the outlook Is most hopeful.
Lane County
Prunes Damaged
Krc.ENE. Oct. 6. The continued
rain has practically shut off the re
ceipts of prunes at the plant of the
KiiKene Fruit Growers association.
as It is almost impossible for the
pickers to work, and the rain nas
added very seriously to the propor
tion nf damaged prunes. It appears
now that the loss In some of the
orchards will be fully SO per cent.
The receipts at the Eugene plant
alone up to this date are approxi
mately 1.500.000 pounds; at Junc
tion City, 278.000 pounds, and at
Creswell. 135,978 pounds. Thia Is
already far In excess or the total
puck for last season, and had it not
been for the rains the pack would
undoubtedly have been doubled, as
the addition to the dryer In Eugene
alone makes It possible to handle as
high as 2500 bushels a day. A large
proportion of the pack this season
will necessarily run to Inferior
grades on account of the cracked
fruit, which cannot be mode to pre
sent a neat appearance by any
amount of processing.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7. Ellis Island,
melting pot of the world, is boiling
as never before, with the greatest
flood of Immigrants In history pour
ing into it. Millions more the clam
oring at Europe's exits, anxious to
come to America, and congress will
be pressed to quickly enlarge botb
the physical plant and working force
on the island to more than double
its present size, according to Immi
gration Commissioner Frederick A.
Wallis.
Since early last summer aliens
have been entering America's front
door in unprecedented numbers. The
problem of bousing them until thty
can be admitted to the country has
become painful to all parties con
cerned. Recently hundreds of Im
migrants detained for investigation
had to sleep standing up, as the.
floors, benches and chairs were al
ready filled with the backwash from
the congested dormitories.
The tide is certain to become
greater with each passing month,
Commissioner Wallis felt assured.
Steamship operators informed him
:heir accommodations arc booked to
capacity for 12 months ahead. Gov
ernmeut officials announced 267,006
applications had been made for pass
ports in Poland alone, mostly by
Jews, while hundreds of thousands ln
other parts of Europe were anxious
to cross the seas to this country. '
Between 3.000,000 aud 4.000,000
Italians are seeking domiciles and
citlienship here and more than 3,-
000,000 Poles want to come over,"
said Commissioner Wallis, who at
tributed the exodus from Europe to
the harsh post-war living conditions
and the economic situation.
Frequently the commissioner
asked the aliens why they left Eu
rope. Most of them replied. "No
money, no eat," he said. Many Ital
ian farmers declared they quit their
native soil because of the danger
from explosions when plowing in for
mer battlegrounds.
Added to the prospective innux or
immigrants from the countries of the
war allies, will be millions In from
Icrmany who, as soon as the way Is
lear. will seek passage to America,
he immigration authorities have
been Informed by reliable and offi-
ial sources. "The immigration in
the future will be limited only by the
,-apacity of the ves.iels," Commis
sioner allis said.
In the meantime while pondering
'low many years it will be before
aliens quit coming across the sea at
their present rate. Ellis Island worK-
rs are perplexed over their existing
problems. The normal capacity of
the island is reached when 2000 Im-
igrants are inspected dally, i et.
on a recent day, 10.400 aliens were
'ed there. During another day the
unte week 11,000 persons were de
tained in the holds of the vessels
which brought them over, while offi
cials struggled with the work of ex
amining the 4000 then on the is
land. For two days the Irland doors
were shut against Incomers, who re
mained on boatB.
The raoldlty of handling them de
pends upon the aliens themselves.
Commissioner Wallis has round mat
some groups are easier to examine
han others, wnile care must De
taken ln separating the many na
tionalities which make the IslanJ
conversation sound like that at the
Tower of Babel.
"If we mix English. Irish and Jews
there will be a free-for-all fight In
ten minutes." said the commissioner.
The English won t eat with tne
Jews, and call them 'foreigners.' "
Three recent additions to the tasxs
of the" Immigration officials have
made more tedious the handling ot
the aliens. Much time is required In
viselng passports, and the literacy

also causes trouble. Kach alien
must read in ore language berore Do
ing admitted. In additions to Its
labors with the aliens, the Immigra
tion officials must examine every sea
man entering the port, even tnougn
he left It but a few days before. In
the last eight months 800,000 sea
men were examined here.
Despite congestion everything pos
sible is being done to make the treat
ment of the aliens on the island hu
mane. Babies are given warm milk
.nrf ersekers. Candy, cigarettes.
fruit and other comforts are fur
nished adults. sunaay concert.,

Mh.r nn the Drogram. are held
veatlT. For those who cannot find
a bed. 10.000 army blankets recent
ly received from Washington are
available for Improvised sleeping
equipment.
Ellis Island authorities are trying
nut to keep tbe aliens in tbe holds
ot the vessels after arrival and are
striving not to delay commerce by
holding up ships in that manner and
so far they have succeedd. But, no
matter how fast the irrigrents arrive,
the examinations wilt not be made
lesB rigid, but will continually be
made more severe. Commissioner
Wallis said.
Aliens who are refused admittance
and the percentage of rejected
ones has increased greatly since be
fore the war are returned to the
port from which they came at the
expense of the steamships. Most of
those adimtted to America are going
to industrial centers, but many are
flocking to rural districts and farms,
the commissioner said.

Issue of ratifying or rejecting the
league of nations was accepted by
Senator Harding In his speech here
today, brushing aside the problem of
clarifying reservations and declaring
that he would "favor staying out" of

wanted no acceptance of the league

obligations, but that the proper
course would be to reject those com

County Court Will
Adjourn Tonight
County court will adjourn this
evening after completing the work
for this term. The term has been
very light. Road delegations have
been few and there was little busi
ness transacted. On account of the
absence of Commissioner W. E. St.
John, several of the more important
matters were postponed until a fu
ture meeting. On account of the
fruit season being at its height and
becauses of the general activity
throughout the rural districts, there
were few visitors at this term of
court and only a small amount of
business, outside the usual routine,
was brought up tor consideration.

Forbids the Construction of Any

That the state board of health will
not .permit the construction ot a
tuberculosis sanitarium at Winches
ter and will bring suit if necessary
in the Circuit court to prevent the
operation of such an establishment
is the Information contained In a
letter received this morning by the
County Health Officer. Dr. K. L.
.Miller. The letter Informs those ln
charge of the construction ot the
sanitarium that the institution will
not be permitted on any watershed
where the water Is used for domestic
purposes and that unless the rules of
the state board of health are com
plied with that prompt action will
be instituted In the courts.
The letter receiver by Dr. Miller
is as follows:
Portland, Oct. 6, 1920
Dr. K. L. Miller,
County Health Officer
Roseburg, Oregon,
Dear Doctor:
Enclosed herewith you will please
And a copy ot the communication
addressed to Mr. George A. Lovejoy.
who is at least the spokesman for
the Interests that desire to erect a
tuberculosis sanitarium at Winches
ter, near the city of Roseburg.
We would request that you make,
or cause to have made, an investi
gation in order to ascertain just how
far work has progressed on this san
itarium and we would also request
that the information regarding the
number of cities, towns and indus
trial establishments upon the North
I'mpqua river, below the site of the
proposed hospital be forwarded "to
the State Board of Health as soon
as possible.
As the matters herein mentioned
require prompt action, we would be
pleased if you could see fit to fur
nish us with the facts herein re
quested at your earliest possible con
venience.
Verv truly yours,
ANDREW H. SMITH.
Acting State Health Officer.
The communication referred to,
addressed to Mr. Lovejoy, Is as fol
lows: Portland, October 6, 1920
Mr. George A. Lovejoy,
Guarantee Fund Life Assn.,
727 Plttock Bik., City.
Dear Sir:
The' writer has carefully gone
over tbe files of the correspondence
in connection with the establish
ment of a Tuberculosis Sanitarium
at or near the site of the Winchester
Power Dam. about five miles above
the City of Roseburg, on the North
I'mpqua River.
Information has reached this of
flc that work has commenced upon
this sanitarium, notwithstanding the
fact that on September 20, 1920. the
State Health Officer addressed a
communication to you which contain,
ed the following paragraph:
"Permit me to advise yon that at
the regular quarterly meeting of the
State Board of Health, held ln the
office of the secretary on Monday.
August 30, and your letter was tak
en up and referred to the Board.
The Board expressed themselves as
being unalterably opposed to the
erection of the tuberculosis sanitari
um at Winchester."
At this time I would respectfully
refer you to Section 2 of Chapter 264
of the General Laws of Oregon for
1919, which provides, among other
things, as follows:
"The state Board of Health shall
have direct supervision of all mat
ters relating to the preservation of
the life and health of the people of
the state. The Board shall
have full power in the control of all
communicable diseases. It shall make
and file In the office of the secre
tary of State, such rules and reg
ulations and is hereby empowered to
enforce such rules and regulations
for the control of any and all com
municable diseases by quarantining:
or the adoption of any other reas
onable measures as seem best for
limiting the spread of communicable
diseases and for the preservation of
the public health.
Section 107 of the same act In
cludes the following:
"Every person living on or own
ing property on tbe watersheds of s
lake, pond or stream from which
a drinking supply Is obtained shsll
carry out such reasonable Instruct
ions as may he furnished him In the
matter hereinbefore iset forth, di
rectly by the municipal health offi
cer, or by the State Board of Health
Anyone refusing or neglecting to
comply with the requirements of
this section shall be guilty ft a
misdemeanor."
Peettoi 108 provider that:
"No peraon, firm, corporation or
municipality shall flow or discharge
sewage or waste water above the in
take Into any drain, brook, creek or
river, from which a public drinking
water supply is taken, unless the
same shall have passed through some
well known system of sewage puri
fication approved by the State
Board of Health: and the continued
flow and discharge ot such sewage
may fe enjoined upon application of
any person."
An examination of the authorities
with regard to the provisions of the
law Just quoted convinces me that
It would be impossible for the State
Board of Health to permit, even pas
sably, the draining from a tuber
culosis sanitarium Into the North
Umpqua River at any point.
Medical authorities are unani
mous in the opinion that it Is im
posioie to satisfactorily treat the
refuse from a tubercular patient or a
number of tubercular patients so
that tbe sewerage could be safely
discharged into any stream from
which a municipal "supply of water
is' secured.
We have taken the time and effort
to ascertain the number of hamlets
villages, towns and Industrial settle
ments which are located on the
North TTmpnua river below the pro
posed site of your sanitarium. There
is quite a number of these settle
ments, villages and towns located on
the North Umpqua river below the
proposed site, as a matter of pub
lic health It would be necessary for
the State Board or Health to for
bid the use of the water of the North
Umpqua river below your Institution
for any of the class of towns or
uttlements above named..
Further than this, your attention
Is called to Section 115. Chapter 264
of the General Laws of Oregon for
1919. This section provides that:
"Any person who shall put any
dead animal, carcass or part there
of, exarement. putrid, nauseous,
noisome, decaying deleterious or of
fensive substance into, or In any
other manner not herein named.
befouls, pollutes or impairs the qual
ity of any spriug, river, brook, creek,
branch, well, cistern or pond of
of water which is or may be used
for domestic purposes or to which
cattle, horses or other kind of do.
mestlc stock have access, or shall
put any such dead animal carcass,
or part thereof, excrement, putrid.
deleterious or offensive substance
within one-hilf mile of any dwelling
house or highway, and leave the
same without proper burial, or. be
ing in the possession or control of
any land, shall knowingly permit
or suffer any such dead animal car
cass, or part thereof, excrement, put
rid, nauseous. noTsome. decaying or
deleterious or offensive substance
to remain without proper burial upon
such premises within one-half mile
of any dwelling house or public
highway, whereby the same becomes
offensive to the occupants of said
dwelling or the travelling public,
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."
The State Board of Health feels
that should work be continued or
allowed to progress at the site of
this proposed sanitarium in the in
terests ot public health the State
Board of Health will have to Insti
tute the proper BUit ln the circuit
court requesting a restraining order
which wauld Jrevent any further
work being done.
Tbe State Board of Health feels,
furthermore, that aetter addrossed
to you on Sept. 20. 1920, was suffi
cient to deter any intentions which
vou may have entertained regard
'ng the establishment of this sani
tarium. The State Board of Health feels
that It would be contrary to public
policy to permit the establishment
of any sanitarium which specialties
in the treating of funercuiosis upon
any of the watersheds or adjacent to
any stream from which a municipal
supply of water is obtained.
We have this day requested the
County Health Officer to make an
Investigation with as little delay as
possible, to ascertain just exactly how
far building has progressed upon
the proposed sanitarium, and upon
receiving a report from ' him the
State Board of Health will take such
action, as Indicated herein, as it may
deem necessary.
Verv truly vntirs.

Rainfall For Season Some,

FARMERS BUSY PLOWING
Wind of September 17 Harde! Ux
. perienced in That Month lor
Kleven Yean Conditions
Generally Favorable.
The fine rains in the early part of
September, beginning on the ninth,
followed by several days of storm,
started the grass, and with a re
currence of rain on September 18 to
24, winter feed was practically as
sured in this county. According to
the monthly summary of weather
conditions Just Issued by Observer
Wm. Bell, of the local United States
weather bureau, 2.27 Inches of rain
tell here during September. A good
many people have been of the opin
ion that the rainfall for the month
was greater than last year, but In
this they are mistaken, as the
records show, says Mr. Bell, that
last year 3.36 Inches of rain fell dur
ing September. In fact, with the ex
ception of two other years, 1893 and
1901, when 3.80 and 3.81 inches fell
in September, respectively, Septem
ber, 1919, was the wettest on record.
This September Just past the storm
periods extended from the 9th to the
13th, inclusive, and from tho 18th to
the 24th. inclusive, and again on the
30th another storm came up, .06 of
an Inch falling on the last day of
the month. The dryest September
was In 1889, when only .24 of an
inch of rain was recorded at the lo
cal weather bureau office. The nor
mal or average rainfall for Septem
ber Is 1.04 inches. The first seven
days of September this year were
clear, but after that cloudy weather
prevailed most of the time.
The hottest day in the month was
on the 1st. when the mercury stood
at 92. while the lowest temperature
occurred on the 7th, when 43 waa
registered. The greatest daily range
of temperature was on the 1st, and
was 41 degrees; the least daily range
was 7 degrees on the 23rd. Tho
average dally temperature was 61.
The prevailing wind during the
month was from the southwest, 2157
miles being registered during the 30
days. The average hourly velocity
was 3 miles. On the 17th occurred
:he hardest wind experienced durln'f.
September In this section ln 11 years,
the velocity registered being 27
miles. The storm continued for a
short time, but orchardists com
plained that many of the winter ap
ples were blown from tbe trees, al
though the damage was later found
to be less than at first claimed.
Altogether tbe month of Septem
ber was favorable to agricultural,
horticultural and stock Industries.
The pastures have been renewed so
that sheep and cattle are assured of
good feed. The ground Is In line
condition for plowing and seeding
operations, and many are availing
themselves of the situation. A good
deal of fall plowing is being done,
and prospects for winter grain in thia
valley are excellent.
