BOIL YOUR WATER.
This is the time of year; when typhoid epidemics threat
en cities. Medford has in the past been remarkably free
from typhoid, not over a score of cases, including a few in
existence at the present time, having been reported in the
past four years.
In every instance of the fever in Medford investiga
tion has shown that well water was used. Xot a single
case has been traced to the city water, even when Bear
creek water was used, and there is no question but that
even open ditch water is safer than well water. It is used
without harmful results in many of the cities of southern
California.
The best preventative to insure infection from water is
to boil it. If boiled the germs are killed. If allowed to
stand for a couple of daj-s in a jar with an absorbent cotton
cork or cover, the water will regain its flavor.
Full protection should be provided from house flies,
which are the greatest spreaders of germs known. A few
dollars spent in this way often saves many dollars in doc
tors' bills and funerals.
THE OR E(i ON TRUST FIASCO.
After having been in charge of the affairs of the failed
Oregon Trust and Savings bank for two years, Receiver
T. C. Devlin lias just discovered that the directors of the
institution were guilty of wildcat fiuanccering and the
Portland papers are filled with his accusations.
It is strange that Mr. Devlin did not sooner publish his
findings; that he should wait until the German-American
bank, which assumed the assets and liabilities of the failed
bank, had disposed of all the most valuable assets at a loss
and left insufficient funds to settle with the remaining de
positors, looks suspicious.
Everyone knows that the Oregon Trust bank was con
ducted in reckless fashion; everyone knew it as the time
of the failure; but what the depositors are more concerned
about, is why the assets of the bank have not paid out as
was expected.
The German-American bank and Receiver Devlin are
responsible for the present tangle, and while investigations
are the order of the day, the handling of the bank's assets
by them should be thoroughly probed, so that the people
may know whether or not, as has been hinted, the reckless
financing stopped when the directors stepped out and Re
ceiver Devlin stepped in whether the German-American
has not taken the meat and left the shell for the depositors.
