Crook county reported 200 cases, Jackson 809, Marion 422 and Linn 102 for the week ending; March 3. These four areas have been de clared epidemit by Dr. Samuel Osgood, head of the epidemiology department of the State Board of Health. The number of pneumonia cases was up throughout the state almost 20 percent from 48 for the week ending Feb. 24 to,&4 for the week ending March 3.

He pointed out that Jackson county which has the highest influenza number, also has the highest pneumonia total 15 cases. Jackson Is the only area where the epidemic has held on for more than one week. The disease was reported in these other counties: Benton 21, Clackamas 43, Clatsop 5, Columbia 4. Coos 3.
