DEAD U EDM EN MAY BE CAUSE
OF SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC
DECLARE SOME
DR. VAN BRAKLE SCOUTS IDEA
Small Boys Who Have Dug for Pret
ty Beads Have Nearly All De
veloped Plague, However
Havo dead Idians, whose bones
have been disturbed, and whose
graves have been robbed, passed on
to the iale face the smallpox which
brought them to the end of life and
ushered them into the "happy hunt
ing grounds?"
This is a question that quite a
number of Gladstone people are ask
ing themselves this week; and the
answer to it may solve the mystery
surrounding the outbreak of a mild
form of smallpox among children in
the pleasant suburb of Oregon City
just across the Clackamas river.
Practically every child who has
recently been taken ill with smallpox,
is, or has been, the proud possessor
of a string of Indian beads or a
hoard of "wampum," which has been
dug from the old Indian burying
ground on which the most stylish sec
tion of Gladstone is laid out. In the
early days the land from the railroad
track east to the county road, and
bordering the banks of the Clackamas
river, was sacred ground for the
Indians, and within its precincts were
laid away the bones of redmen who
had heard the call of the Great Mani
tou. Fifty years ago smallpox swept
through the tribal tents of the In
dians living in this region, and vic
tim after victm of the spotted plague
was lad away in this burying place.
In digging foundations for the
first houses that were erected in this
section of Gladstone, bones, skulls
and Indian trinkets were frequently
unearthed. Even in later days, when
the happy suburbanite had gone home
at night and started digging garden,
Indian relics were often thrown up
by the spade; and many a collection
of arrow-heads- has had its inspiration
in the findings thus made.
Still more recently the children of
Gladstone have developed the fad of
collecting "Indian beads," and among
the littte folk in the neighboring city
prestige and standing are largely
governed by the length of the string
of these beads possessed. The boy
who has a string eight feet long is
more powerful in the councils of the
small tots than is the youth whose
string is but three feet long and so
on.
Investigation of the cases of small
pox that have lately developed in
Gladstone has brought out the fact
curious or worthy of note as the case
may be that every child stricken has
either possessed or played with one
of these strings of "Indian beads."
And now the grown-ups are begin
ning to wonder whether or not the
beads have anything to do with it.
County Health Officer vanBrakle
thinks the beads are harmless. He
does not believe that any smallpox
germs that may have been buried
with the Indians fifty years ago still
retain vitality sufficient to innocu
late the modern-day chldren with the
disease, even in a mild form. There
are disease germs, the doctor says,
which have a span of life that would
easily cover this period, but he does
not think the smallpox that killed
the Indians has anything to do with
the mild form of the plague that is
now making little bodies itch and
burn.

Oregonian staff, and formerly a soci
ety man of this vicinity, was "in our
midst" Tuesday. Mr. Taylor says he
notices many changes in the county
seat since his last visit even some of
his lady friends appearing different.
People less scientific than the
county health officer, however, are
not so sanguine; and they see no
reason why smallpox germs should
not thrive in Gladstone soil even as
do other forms of plant life. And so
strong do some parents feel about
the matter that they have insisted
that all Indian relics in the house be
burned, and have promised severe
punishment to any young hopefuls
who are caught delving for more.
Physicians who are treating the
illness in Gladstone say that the fe
ver is of the mildest form, and that
there is even grave doubt if it is
anything worse than chicken-pox.
They do not regard the number of
cases as cause for alarm, and do not
even consider them enough to make
an "epidemic" but still there re
mains the fact that the Indians who
once had those fine beads died of
smallpox.

the county seat, but now living in
Vancouver, Wash'n., visited in Oregon

BOY IS DROWNED
Oswego Lake Bathing Proves Fatal
to Portland Youth
Venturing in water over his death,
Victor Osterdahl, of Portland, was
drowned while swimming in Oswego
Lake Monday afternoon; and though
friends rushed to his assistance when
he disappeared beneath the surface,
his body was not recovered for near
ly an hour. Cornorer Hempstead
was notified of the accident, but held
no inquest.
Osterdahl was camping at the lake
with Robert Rosenthal, also of Port
land. Efforts to revive the unfor
tunate youth were made by the pul
motor crew of the Portland Railway
Light & Power Company, but the
body had been in the water too long
to respond to treatment. The re
mains were taken. to the lads home,

PIONEER WOMAN DIES
Mrs. Callahan Had Lived in County
for Over 30 Years
Mrs. Louise Callahan, for over 30
years a resident of the Dickey Prai
rie district, died Monday of this week
at the home of her son, Charles Cal
lahan, of Liberal. Funeral services
were held Tuesday afternoon, and in
terment was in the family cemetery.
Mrs. Callahan was born at Bur
lington, Wis., November 6, 1855, and
came here with her parents, settling
in the Dickey Prairie district. She
is survived by three children: Charles
Callahan, Edward Callahan and Mrs.
W. J. E. Vick, all of Liberal, and
three brothers, Philip Leitchtweis, of
Dickey Prairie, and Edward and John
Leichtweis, of Clarkes.
COW TESTING LIKED
Two More Communities Form Clubs
to Better Livestock
Two more cow-testing associations
have been added to the list of Oregon
dairy clubs, reports W. A. Barr, O.
A. C. and Federal Field Dairy Spec
ialist. One of the new associations
was formed at Multnomah, Polk coun
ty, and the other in the neighbor
hood of Carleton and McMinnville,
Yamhill county. These make a total
of fourteen cow-testing associations
in Oregon.
Some of the Eastern states have
a larger number of associations, ac
cording- to Professor Barr, but the
associations are formed with fewer
cows than in Oregon clubs, some of
them not having not more than 300.
In Oregon the number of cows to the
association runs from 600 to 800, so
that it is quite likely that there are
now more cows under test in Oreogn
than in any other state of the Union.
Frost Likes Oregon
D. E. Frost, constable attached to
Justice Siever's court, last week made
flying tnp to his home in Kansas.
which he had not visited in 23 years.
Frost says crops were good, business
hne, and the weather hot; but in
spite of that he says he would rather
be a poor man in Orgeon than a
well-to-do man in Kansas."

Mighty Structures of Old Dwarfed
by Modern Skyscrapers.
TOWER OF BABEL A MIDGET.
It Would Not Reach Two-thirds of the
WaylJp to tho Top of the Eiffel Tow-
er, That Sways 984 Feet In the Air,
Big Buildings and the Pyramids.
It has long been the popular iinpres
siou that the modern effort to pierce
the clouds with, skyscrapers Is but a
teeble Imitation of the work of those
aucleut sons of Noah whose memory
Is perpetuated In the Bible. Heading
In the eleventh chanter of Genesis
where It tells of the people attes ting
to erect the Tower of Bubol, "whose
top may reach unto heaven," It strikes
one that they must have gone farther
toward realizing their ambition than
we of today may ever hope to do.
But as a matter of fact when the
Lord halted building operations by
confounding the workers' language and
scattering them broadcast over the
earth the summit of the tower was but
one stnde, or 606 feet 9 inches, from
the level of the plain.
The Zlggurrat, or temple tower of
Babylon, Is described by Herodotus as
having eight stages, each somewhat
narrower than the one directly beneath
It The top was reached by a gradual
ly rising spiral ascent, and on the top
most tier was a shrine wherein the god
Marduk was supposed to dwell. Dlo-
dorus says this shrlue contained three
colossal golden Images one of Bel, one
of Beltls and the third of Rhea or Isb
tar together with two golden lions,
two enormous Bllver serpents and a
golden table forty feet long and fifteen
feet wide.
The tower, as the Bible sets forth,
was built of brick, with slime for mor
tar. Tula slime, it is believed, was
natural ospbaltum obtained from near
by Bprings. Ages after the building
operations had been interrupted by the
Maker's wrath Nebuchadnezzar under
took, with indifferent success, to restore
the ruins to their former state.
The modern ruins of Babel were sup
posed to be represented by the great
pile of Birs Nimroutl, which stood in
Borslppa. eight miles from the ancient
city of Babylon. Its sides were from
375 to 643 feet long, and the edifice still
rises to a height of 153 feet
The next structures in point of an-
"a"" the pyramids of Egypt
I Tnese are tue oldest ttud most mysteri-
I ous of manls works still existing. But
tney are not renlly 80 ml considered
'a the light of present day achieve
ments. The greatest Known as the
Great Pyramid of Cheops or Khufu,
was originally 481 feet 4 Inches high
and 755 feet square at the base. The
second that of Cbepuren or Khafra
was 472 feet high and 700 feet wide.
The third that of Mycerinus or Men
kaura was never completed, but it
stood, nevertheless, 215 feet high and
846 feet square at the base.
In all nearly seventy of these pyra
mids have been located, and, inasmuch
ag they all appear to have been royal
sepulchers, it Is the belief thut the
dynasties of the builders covered a pe
riod of at least a thousand years. The
area of the Great Pyramid Is more than
thirteen acres above twice as great
as that of St. Peter's at Home. . The
passages leading to the chambers con
taining the royal mummies defied de
tection for thousands of years, only to
be torn open at lust and their contents
ruthlessly made away with.
Of modern edifices, the tallest by far
is the great Eiffel tower of Paris,
whose steel webbed structure pierces
the blue to a height of 084 feet Then
comes the Wpolworth building In New
York, the loftiest office building in the
world, its fifty-five stories rising 750
feet Into the air. The height of others
is: Metropolitan Life building, Now
York, fifty stories, 700 feet 3 inches;
Sluger building, New York, forty-one
stories, 612 feet 1 inch; Washington
monumeut Washington, 555 feet; Co
logne cathedral spire, Cologne, Ger
many, 617 feet; Rouen cathedral spire,
Rouen, France, 402 feet; cupola of St.
Peter's, Rome, 469 feet; St Paul's.
London, 864 feet
The loftiest obelisks ever constructed
are those mentioned by Dlodorus Slcu
lus, which rose 158 feet and were elev
en feet thick at the base and seven feet
thick ut the top. One of the world's
largest domes is that of the Roman
Pantheon. 142 feet In diameter and 143
feet high.
The ancient peoples were great for
their methods of embalming, for their
art, their literature, their general cul
ture. But when it comes to building
skyscrapers they will have to give way
to the builders of the Eiffel tower and
the Woolworth building, who have,
pierced the clouds without their lan
gunge being confounded in the slight
est. San Francisco Chronicle.

"Get acquainted with your ueighbor;
you might like him." This, from the
letterhead of a western village improve
ment association, is excellent advice.
What fine things a large personal ac
quaintance can do for us, provided we
are worthy of It! Let us put aside
any petty dislike, engendered perhaps
by fancied faults In other people, and
go out and shake hands with neigh
bors whom we probably have never
really known. Let us talk over our
common problems with them; discuss
the welfare of our community, the
state, the nation, so that we may all
have a better understanding of our
common hopes and aims. All this
pays. Its returns come not alone In the
help we can be one to the other, but
in the greater discernment with which
our personal business can be conduct
ed, mid in tho better feeling nnd prog
ress that follows in a town or city
where all are working for tho common
good. Countryside Magazine.
' Stage Fright.
Stage fright, If I may encourage star
tled readers, does not appear to have
affected William Cobbett, whose maid
en speech in the house of commons
must have been ouo of the most aston
ishing performances thnt even that
seasoned assembly had ever listened to.
Here is the opening sentence: "It ap
pears to me that since I have been sit
ting here I have heard a great deal of
vain and unprofitable talk." By way
of contrast we have the case of Gib
son Craig, whose abortive eloquence,
on his Introduction to parliamentary
life, was thus described by Disraeli:
"Gibson Craig, of whom the Whigs had
hopes, rose, Btared like a stuck pig and
said nothing. Ills friends cheered, he
stammered. All cheered; then there
was n dead and awful pause, and then
he sat down, nnd that was his per
formance." London Spectator.
The Dipper.
That beautiful constellation, the
Dipper, hangs, silent and solitary,
amid the northern star lighted firma
ment, like a veritable sky dipper in
deed, or a sky plow driven around and
around Polaris, the north star. As we
all know, the dipper's "pointers,"
Merak and Dubhe, indicate pretty ac
curately the whereabouts of the north
star. There are five other stars in the
Dipper., They are respectively In or
der from the end of the handle Benet
nasch, Mlsar, Alloth, Megres and Pbe
coa. Here in the United States we
speak of this collection of stars as the
Dipper, while abroad It is known as
La Grande Ourse, Der Grosse Baer,
Orsa Magglore, and among the ancient
Egyptians, who were not acquainted
with the bear, it was known as the
Hippopotamus. New York Times.
In Defense of Conscience.
The meanest thing ever said about
conscience were the words put into
Hamlet's mouth by William Shake
speare: "Thus conscience does make
cowards of us all."
This remark has caused many people
to believe that conscience was nothing
but a coward maker, and consequently
they have refused to have anything to
do with It. Never was anything more
unjust Shakespeare's assertion Is true
only on the assertion that we are all
sinners. To be fair, he should have
said: "Thus conscience does make cow
ards of all of us who have sinned or
who are about to sin." Then ho would
have been more in agreement with Sol
omon, who was wiser, and who sold.
The wicked flee when no man pur-
sueth, but the righteous are as bold
as a Hon." Life.
Curious Old Drink Theory.
One of the most singular views on
drinking ever recorded occurs in a
letter from Sir Henry Ingelby on Aug.
21, 1061, printed in 'Trylngs Among
Private Papers."
Sir William is so 111," wrote the
baronet, "one of his doctors told me
yesterday thero was no manner of
hope. I have been taught that
Jupiter allows every man who comes
into the world a different proportion of
drink, which, when he has dispatched,
there remains nothing for bmi to do
but to die, and that the proportion nnd
expedition make great difference In
men's ages." London Standard.
The Earliest Lamps.
The most primitive lamps were prob
ably the skulls of animals, In which
fat was burned, while certain seashells
wore also employed for this purpose,
says an exchange. When pottery nnd
metal began to be used the principle
of these natural lamps was for a long
time retained, as seen in ancient Egyp
tian, Greek and Roman lamps and in
the stone cups and boxes of northern
nations.
Clean as a Whistle.
The origin of tho saying "As clean
as a whistle" Is ascribed to the "whis
tle tankard" of olden times, In which
the whistle came Into ploy when the
tankard was emptied or "cleared out"
to announce to the waiter that more
liquor was required.

"FIRE BLIGHT" APPEARS
Marion County Has Fruit Menance in
Many of Its Orchards
Look over your apple, pear, quince
and other trees, for scattered dead
brunches, with leaves that look as
though scorched but still hang to the
branch. If you find such, it may be
the dreaded "fire blight.'' On such
blighted parts' the bark is dark color
ed and sometimes milky drops of ooze
containing countless bacteria appear
on the surface. Large dead spots
may be found on the trunk and limbs.
At present quince trees are most
often affected by the "fire blight,"
bnt apples, pears, hawthorne service
berries, and other wild trees of the
apple family are also affected. In
sects spread the disease. Tremen
dous losses have always followed "fire
blight," if it is not checked. If you
find suspicious looking dead branches
with the leaves still hanging, be sure
to Bend a specimen to your fruit in
spector at once. (Aurora Observer.)

World's Finest Equestrian Group.
London's statues are generally the
laughing stock of foreign visitors.
They are called "Jokes In stone" and
other rude names. It Is all the more
gratifying to find one at least of these
generally despised objects gaining the
applause of qualified Judges. A purty
of Belgian sculptors and artists on a
recent visit were moved to proclaim
their conviction that the qundrlgn ofi
"Victory" on the arch at tho top of
Constitution hill was not only the finest
equestrian group in England, but la
the whole world! Tho sculptor, Cap
