The county court will be pleated to learn that the colli of the action will be provided for here, and tbe county net called on to pay tbe bill. The Oregon City Enterprise In a re cent issue, held up onr town as an ob ject lesson to ita readers, claiming we had eighty cises of meaalea aa a result of our unsanitary condition. Well, that ii hard on Clatekanie if ouriect. At to the number of casee of measles during thia winter no one except the Enterprise writer'seemi to know. One goes away from home to get the news. Ai to measles being a disease resulting from uncleanneii the Enterprise writer is at variance with eoienlifio writers generally. That article classed meas les, diphtheria.fevera and otherdiaeaaei in one list, aa preventable with' proper sanitary efferta. Medical writers will now be compelled to change their views since the Enterprise baa made such a classification. If the writer of that article which icama to be in the editorial column ii correct, the auth or is resDectfullv invited by the city council to oome to Clatekanie and mell out the particular kind of poison tbat has been giving our people the measles. We want to pourcarbolio aeid oo it and extinguish it. There is whooping cough here too, and iti source would be gladly covered with chloride of lime if detected. Come on friend, wa are waiting to build you a monument. For a Daiu iu the chest a piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain'a Pain Balm and bound on over the eeat of the pain, and another on tbe back between the shoulders, will atrora prompt relief.
