"Sea Hslt'i Ink tsttiat Bslms" leen a few cases In the county, the worst being that ot Ike Ward, who came nearly losing bis life. Dr. Rosenberg, who has charge of the case, says that In certain parts of the Rocky Mountain region occurs a disease known as Rocky Mountain or spotted fever. The dioe&se prevails only In certain lo calities within a circumscribed area. There are only six states within this area. Oregon Is one ol them, es pecially the extreme Eastern part of the state along the Snake river. Harney county has had a few cases and so has Crook. The doctor says that the most characteristic symptoms of the dis ease Is a generalised macular erup tion which, together with the ac companying fever, gives rise to the name "spotted fever." In a typical case, the eruption first makes lu ap pearance on the wrists, ankles and forehead. In the beginning the spots are bright red In color and disappear on pressure, quickly reappearing. As the disease progresses changes follow each other throughout the different stages. The disease Is caused by the Injec tion of poison Into the system. Sage l.ruxh ticks will transmit the poison If ones system Is Just right. So rue people are suliject to the Infection ami nue are not. It la generally considered very dangerous.

The potato race which followed At the instance of Eaitern bot.d- holJers, Jndin Besn, presiding in the United States Court, ordered that a receiver be appointed for the Deechutea Irrigation 4 Power Company, ssys the Oregonian. The court made a special re quest that the attorneys representing the parties to the litigation agree upon some capable and disinterested ciua retiring in the vicinity of the Carey act reclama tion project. The court intimated that Chief Engineer Redfield. who has been in charge of the construction of the irrigation canal, wonll be a suitable person. The litigation began more thsa a jear ago, the first attempt to secure a receiver provirg a failure. At the prsent heating it was thown that Ohio capitalists bid furnished $-159,C00 for the purchase of bonds, and the Deschutes company had given a first mortgage for security, , the Merchants Saving & Trutt Com- psny being earned a trustee. Later a second issue of bonds was authorized by the company, and the same trustee named. It was also alleged that the Deschutes company had failed in pay ment of several installments of interest. In passing on the case, Judge Bean said : At the time the first mortgage was given the company had no substantial assets. It bad a contract with the state for the reclamation of a large tract of arid lands in the eastern part of the state, out of which it hoped to make a profit but it had no prorerty other than the contract. After it had sold its first mortgage bond, and used them in developing the project, it found that it had not money enough to complete it, and therefere made the second mortgage and i.-uol 11. e nvuml iiiiirlj: tg . bond It Iims rcvvivil.l think, fCMl.OHO or $140,000 Ii.mii the sale of nu ll bind.

This U substantially all the tangible assets of the company that I can tin t, as tliown by the record. There is a statement that the company owns some real estate. The value ia, I believe, laced at $40,000, but it ia an in significant matter, to far aa the question here ia concerned. Now, iu addition .to this there are 10,- 000 acres reclaimed -and unsvM, upou which there is a lien of $21 an acte. This, however, is subject toa prior claim of Howard tor $17.50 per acre on con struction accouut. The company has, iu addition to this, about 73,000 acres which it c x pects here after to reclaim, and the contention is made that there will be a profit to the company, wden tins land it reclaimed ,oi about $"4 per acre. That is all of the assets that are now available. The first mortgage provides that on all the lands disposed of by the coiupanv it shall deposit 1 per sore w ith the tiustee, as a linking fund as additional tecurity tor the first mortgage bond. It has l.l'.l Ia An ll.it At t.ua ...1.1 Ixviit I 50,000 acres and hat only deposited ith the trustee $73,000, when theio should have beeh $150,000. It also ap pears quite clearly from the record as made on the hearing, and confirmed by a letter received from the manager of the company a few days ago, and trans mitted to the cjurt for filing w ith this record (copy of which 1 understand was furnished counsel for complainant), that it will be impossible now to con tinuo this project and complete the work unless the company it permitted to use the entire proceeds from the tale of the liens and disposition oi the laud under the project, except the mm of $3 per acre whi :li It proposes, or promise that it will pay Into the sinking fund of the first mortgage bonds. That would be f 3 er acre on about 00,000 acres or $270,000. And, taking this as actually earned, and adding it to the $241,000, there would still be lacking from f:500, 000 to StOO.GOO to pay the debts of this concern, not counting possible profits baaed on the difference between the estimated cost for reclamation and the probable tehing value of the company's liens, which is entirely Secnlative. ' And h lar this $-1 Is tomrrnrd, the only security the first mortgage Iwitnl- hoMein have ia the promUe ol the com pany thai w hen theie hindt are sol I it will lake $3 per acre ol the proceeds and pay into the trustee, and, to judge by the past record. It ia doubtful whether this promise will 1st complied with. So 1 find that this company, upon it 0u allowing here, at thia time, ban aam't M $100,000 or $100,000, and has debts r f from $SOO,000 to $ 1 ,000,000. So it must urcearily h insolvent.
