TYPHOID IN OUR Oregon City
QOR HACK YARDS has not yet for
gotten and will not soon forget the
epidemic of typhoid fever recently ex
perienced. Much good will undoubted
ly come from the agitation for a sup
ply of pure water and this aim should
be kept in mind continually. But
Oregon City must not stop here. The
water supply is by no means the only
possible source of typhoid epidemics,
and this is especially true in the sea
son of warm weather which is now
approaching.
It .has been proven beyond a ques
tion that the ordinary house-fly may
and often .does act as a carrier of
typhoid as well as many other disease
germs. In fact scientists tell us that
one fly can carry and may deposit on
our food 6,000,000 bacteria! That is
as much as we could ordinarily get
from more than a gallon of river
water before it is filtered. This being
the case, it behooves every citizen to
get rid- of the flies and prevent their
breeding.
Now the principle breeding places
for flies are garbage and waste piles.
It is therefore easy to deprive them of
their breeding places and this will
mean much toward improving the
health of the city.
The city council has taken credit
able action in establishing a system
of garbage collection. This should
be made use of by every citizen and
if the periods of collection ' are not
sufficiently frequent we have no doubt
that the council may be depended up
on to provide for garbage collection
as often at it may be necessary. Now
that the garbage collection has been
established let everyone keep his gar
bage in tightly covered containers
which will be inaccessible to the flies.
Furthermore, let us see that our neigh
bors are also careful about breeding
places for these disease carriers and
let as not allow refuse of any kind
to lie around where flies can reach
it-,
Typhcid has been prevalent during
the past winter and for this reason
there is all the more reason for us
ing the utmost care in preventing
possible spread of the disease in the
warm weather by flies bred in our
own gaibage piles.

to the establishment of fire limits in
the business section of Oregon City.
If the present plans are carried out
they will soon be in effect and the
building of wooden buildings within
the district will be stopped. The re
striction will in all probability pro
hibit the erection of inflamable struc
tures in the heart of the business
section, which includes an arta of
nine or ten blocks along Main Street.
If adequate laws are passed and eu
forced the council will do much to
further the interests of the city. The
danger of fire will become less and
thus the rate of fire insurance will
become lower, which in the course
of a few years will mean the saving
of a good many thousand dollars to
the merchants and property owners
on this one item alone. As the need
of new buildings arises, the present
wooden structures will be replaced
by buildings of less inflammable con
struction. This will also mean the
furtherance of a more beautiful city.
A matte i' which might be taken up
at the same time within the fire limits
by the city council is a la;v requir
ing ail prospective builders to file
plans and specifications of buildings
or alterations to buildings with the
city engineer or any other person
whom the council may designate. A
law of this sort would require all
plans of buildings and alterations to
buildings over a certain cost, usually
over a cost of $25 or $50, be filed
with some city official, whose duty
it would be to inspect the plans and
see that there is nothing in the plans
which might unduly endanger life
and property. All of the large cities
of the country have such laws as well
as a number of the smaller ones in
this state. Eugene has had such an
ordinance for several years and it has
proved satisfactory. The expense of
installing such a department in a
city the size of Oregon City would
be small, and the good to be derived
from it would more than offset the
cost.

This Season Will Give McLoughlin
Real Test of Ability.
Maurice McLoughlin, W. A. Larned's
successor as tennis champion of the
United States of America, has been
coming forward rapidly of late " and
last season reached the top. But while
undoubtedly an expert of great ability
it is still a question as to whether he is
or will be another Larned a champion
able to protect his title through several
years to come.
McLoughlin. in fact, has a hard
year looming directly ahead, without
considering a run of seasons. In addi
tion to bis mate in doubles, T. C. Bun
dy, another Pacific coast star, Mc
Loughlin is sure to face high grade
competition from U. N. Williams, Wal
lace Johnson. Raymond D. Little and
Tout-hard.
If Larned is able to return in proper
physical condition to make an old time
fight the present champion's troubles
will be even heavier. It is doubtful,
however, whether Larned will be able
to face a yenr of active eempetition.
With Lamed out of it, it is rather
unlikely that McLoughlin will be dis
placed unless decided improvement is
shown by several of his rivals. While

one or two are now within close reach
of his class, there is none who can be
considered his master with better than
an even chance to win.
The proposed invasion to make an
other fight for the Davis cup, now
lodged in England, will mean a big
boom to tennis and will draw out the
best se;ison of preliminary play the
game has known so far as America is
concerned. This feature may figure in
the development of men of enough
ability to displace the title holder.
McLoughlin. however, hasn't reached
his top form yet and will likely im
prove as much as any of his rivals. He
is expected to be the leading factor in

land to fUht agt'.in for the cup which
