FACTS ABOUT LATEST MALADY WHAT DR. PERNOT, HEALTH OFFI CER, SAYS OF SPINAL PARALYSIS 175 GASES IN OREGON Rarely Fatal Cause Not Known, Not . Contagions, but Sometimes. Infecti ous; Peculiarly Fatal in this Vicinity Thus Far. Spinal paralysis, or "anterior poliomyelitis, " the malady that brought death to Harry Hinnell Wednesday . night, and to two others in ' this county in recent weeks, is unusually .prevalent throughout the state, and excep tionally , fatal in this particular community, Dr. Yenney, presi dent nf Viq Qfofa T3i.1 vF TJUV xeports 175 recent cases in Ore gon, most of them in : the south ern Wrt of . the stnp trnnrh there has been an - epidemic of it -about , Newberg.. According to Dr. H. S. Pernot, health officer of Corvallis., the difficulty rarely vauora ucatu, mm lie is uiysuueu at the large percentage, of atali j.: J.T.; ' . 1 j . i ii .iea in mis county, practically every person afflicted having died. Nature of the Disease In an interview this morning, Dr. Pernot offered the following information about "poliomyeli tis:" It is a destruction of the anterior horns of gray matter of the, spinal cord, which produces paralysis. The cause is not defi nitely known, and it rarely re sults m death. It is not conta gious like measles, but in some cases it is infectious like typhoid. It makes '. its appearance with a slight illness, pains in the back, or approaches something like the grip; sometimes there is dysen tery. In a day or two there is paralysis ,of one or more limbs. The disease remains stationary for a week or two and then im proves; there is seldom complete recovery from the paralysis if the case haj been at all severe. No Preventative Yet . Dr, Pernot says no preventa tive has been discovered, simply because its, direct cause has not been found, just as in rheuma tism or scarlet fever. Most cases occur where the sanitary condi tions are not . perfect, ye.t in the Benton county cases there was no difficulty of the sort Follow ing the death of young Hinnell, Dr. Pernot telephoned to the State health, official to assure himself that - the Benton county -disease was not - similar in any sense to the cerebro-spinal- men ingitis epidemic in Portland some time ago : Dr. Yenney . said there was no point of similarity and diagnoses the cases as Dr. Pernot had, then giving the figures set forth. above. : , No Occasion for Alarm ; Dr. Pernot - feels that there is no occasion for undue, considera tion of this matter. The disease is not contagious, so if sanitation is good, the conditions r are ,as good as they can be made, and there is no reason to expect any further difficulty. . 1 FOR GOOD GAMES The big game tomorrow prom ises to be more than a practice affair. The Catholic Young Men's Club, of Portland, is an organization similar to that of the Multnomah Club and its foot ball team is made up of all stars it can get together. The visitors may not show such wonderful team work, but there are a number of very capable individ ual players, among these being several eastern" college men. The local squad is expecting a good stiff game,, with no gr eat prospect' of winning. " Bergman, Breithaupt and Sitton are all so badly "bunged up" that they can not play tomorrow. It will be necessary to develop an end and a half back by tomorrow. The game for the class cham ionship of: the .college : will be played as a preliminary. The Jfuniors and Sophs are the "oppos ing I teams , and the ' rivalry , is strong. ' ; This curtain t raiser gives promise of being, a. hair raiser. . And both: games . may be seen for one admission.- The preliminary begins at 2:30. I ; ' "THESPOILERS" T Mr. Henry McRae, the' mana ger of "The Spoilers," states: "That it is not necessary for everybody, to enjoy a western play to be a Westerner has been proven by the charm of the new play "The Spoilers" in which Miss Margaret Oswald appears at the opera house on next Sat urday evening The young man likes it because it gives him a glance into the life of which he knows nothing, but of which . he is longing to have just such a peep. The old people enjoy, it because it thrills them with the pulse beat of the great life out side: their own: The young lady enjoys it because it is heroic and pictures in all its glory the west ern spirit of - rough " and ready men of the West 4The company and scenic equipment of f "The Spoilers" are said to be far above tne average road production. MEAT DEALERS ED . Seattle, Oct 21. Fines ag gregating $10,500 were assessed against 17 retail meat dealers by Judge John E. Carroll, of. the Justice Court, today, when the butchers were found guilty 'of using a preparation of sodium sulpite, known as "freezum," in doctoring tainted meat, in viola tion of the state pure-food laws. With one exception the individ ual fines ranged from $500 to $2000, the usual . penalty a being $500 for each count One dealer was fined only $1000, upon his proving that, the .drug .had been usedTby his employes with out his knowledge. . ...

It is ever interesting to make comparisons. The assessed val uation of Eugene's business stocks has just been published and this offers figures that may be compared ; with the Corvallis assessment. As the two assess ments stand, Corvallis has at least one store 1 with a greater stock than the best at Eugene, with its 10,000 population. J. M. Nolan is, assessed at $25,000 while the highest at Eugene is $24, 000. ' Eugene has two - more that go as high as $21,000. In Kline's, Corvallis has one . more that goes' more than $21,000. Either Corvallis has better stocks than Eugene" or else Eugene is not being assessed according to law. ".''' It will be noted that Eugene has as many dry goods-stores as groceries, and but one more butcher - shop. The Eugene as sessment list shows: Dry goods, department stores, etc. 15, assessed from $1300 to $24,000., One is assessed at the latter figure and two ot $21,000 each. The next nearest is $7000.
