CLACKAMAS PORK HELD
Portland Authorities Find Half Ton
of Diseased Meat
Eleven hundred and ninety-five
pounds of diseased pork were seized in
Portland last week when a shipment
of meat from A. Blatt, a Clackamas
county stock raiser, was confiscated
at Constantine's market by the city
health officer. Diseased pork during
the past week caused the death of
four people in Portland, and seven
other persons were stricken seriously
ill from eating pork which was in
fected with "hog cholera."
Following the seizure by the Port
land authorities the State Dairy &
Food Commission was notified, and
that body has ordered a searching in
vestigation. "Hog cholera'' is a con
tagious disease that spreads rapidly,
and the finding signs of it in such a
large shipment of pork leads the
authorities to believe that drastic
measures may have to be taken to
stop its spread in the county and
elsewhere. All hogs inflicted with it
have to be killed.
