STATE BOARD COMBATING RABIES
Strict Order Issued to Take Effect at
Once, So That Any Further

."" ' , May Cease
Until further orders are issued by
the State Livestock Sanitary board,
freedom is a thing of ihe past " lor
dogs in northern Clackamas couuty,
and in that portion of Mul'nomah
county including Portland and its
suburbs. In an order issued by Chas.
Cleveland, president of the boaru, and
becoming effective at once, it is for
bidden to permit dogs of any descrip
tion to run at large within the terri
tory mentioned unless they are "muz
zled in such a manner as to prevent
their biting anyone should they de
velop rabies."
Jt is recommendsd in the order fhat
until danger of the present hydro
phobia epidemic passes that all dog3
be "held on a chain on the owner's
premises," but in lieu of this a heavy
muzzle will do. Dogs found at large
and unmuzzled will be legitimate
game for deputies or veterinarians
entrusted with enforcing the laws o!
the board.
' The action is taken as a measure of
public safety, following the deaths in
Portland of two citibzens from hydro
phobia following their being bittu by
infected dogs; and in view of the
tragic shooting of a Portland boy
near Clackamas by a deputy, who had
arrested him for firing at a bulldog
that snapped at him.
County Veterinarian W. S. Eddy se
cured notices of the order of the
state board Tuesday night, and post
ed them throughout the country. Sim
ilar notices will be posted by Multno
mah county officials, and a rigid ere
sade upon all stray dogs will be start
ed. The action is being taken as much
as a safeguard to the stock of the
two counties as for the benefit of the
people, as dogs running with rabies
have done considerable damage to
vw " a, Hugo auu uaivca all tttu v . ill
Clackamas county, from now on, it
will be extremely unhealthy and un
lucky for any dog not property equip
ped . with either leash or muzzle to
cross the path of Dr. Eddy or any of
his assistants.
The text of the state board's order
is as- follows:
The infectious - and communicable
disease known as rabies, having been
diagnosed in certain dogs and other
animals in the northern portion of
Clackamas county and in the city of
Portland and other points within Mul
tnomah county, the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board, at a regularly called
meeting,, in compliance with section
inree 01 cnapcer iourteen or tne ses
sion laws of 1913, which reads as fol
lwos: "It shall be the duty of the
State Live Stock Sanitary Board to
exercise a general sanitary supervis
ion over the live stock and poultry of
this state and as far as possible to
protect the live stock and poultry,, of
this state from disease; to take all
measures necessary and proper in the
Judgement of the board to eradicate
infectious, contagious and communi
cable diseases that may exist among
livestock or poultry in the states,
etc;" hereby orders," that all dogs
owned or held within that part of
Clackamas county beginning at a
point wnere the Clackamas river emp
ties into the Willamp.ttfi river- thnr
the Clackamas river to the point
where the division line between

county lying west of the dividing line
between ranges 3 and 4 shall be, until
further ordered, restrained from run

on a chain on the owner's premises
or muzzled in such a manner as to

near Washington. Reuben Stedman,.
an honest citizen, came along a few
minutes later and found it, and
promptly notified Patrolman Lee
French. ......
ids money was contained in a cir

was the number "480." Patrohuan

The box contained everything fiom
silver dollars to pennies, and judging
by its weignt held a considerable sum.
. Patrolman French is somewhat puz
zled as to how it was lost, as it was
too bulky an object to alio to the
ground without making considerable
noise. it is thought that it may have
jolted out of a wagon belonging

to tne DanK or to his home.

SECRETARY OF STATE BOARD OF
HEALTH FLATLY DENIES
H SPIESS CHARGE
COURT NOT TOLD OF FIRST HUG
Hearing Upon Local Case to be Held
In Near Future, When Defin
ite Action will be Taken'
Says Officical
In a somewhat lengthy communica
tion published in The Courier la3t
week', a contributor who signs him
self Henry Spiess complains that
Judge Beatie, of the county court, had
over-ridden the mandates of the state
board of health; and had, after hear
ing that the state board had held a
meeting at which it called upon Dr.
J. W. Norris to resign, advised the
county health officer "to stick." The
charges in the letter are somewhat in
volved, but appear to be summed up
a paragraph which says, in part:
"The state board find a man guilty
and removes him from office. Judge
Beatie deceive, then intimidate,
then defy the State Board of Health
and the people. Judge Beatie
knows a matter a great deal better
without testimony thon does any
court with testimony."
Following tne publication of -this
communication, and the mention in
it of a letter relating to the hearing
said to have been sent Judge Beatie,
that official wrote to Calvin S. White,
secretary of the state board, asking
for information in regard to the mat
ter. Tuesday he received the follow
ing reply:
Portland, July 14, 1913.
Judge Beatie,
Oregon City, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
Answering your inquiry of today,
the board has taken no decisive ac
tion in regard to the matter of Dr
Norris since given the offical infor
mation that ' Dr. Norris had not re
signed. No official notice of the former
hearing was ever sent to you.
A special meeting of the board will
be held within the next ten days and
a definite action taken one way or the
other, and you will be promptly no
titled of that action.
Yours very truly,
CALVIN S. WHITE,
State Health Officer.
This letter and the charges made
by Mr. Spiess seems to be widely at
variance.

at Gladstone park between Oregon
City Commercial club and Oswego,
was won by the former by the score
of 18 to 3. Carothers of the clubmen
started the scoring in the third, by
making a home run on an error. Two
familiar men of the Oregon City team,
the Miller brothers, played the bench
for a change. Arch Long 4 the peer
less pitcher of the clubmen, played
his position to perfection.
Oswego's poor fielding caused their
defeat. Telford, the regular pitcher
for the Commercial club, but who
played short, made two home runs,
one on an error and the other on a
clean hit.

CHILDREN SAVED
The children of Mr. and M:rs. Her
man Fisher, of Redland, had a close
brush with the fire demon Tuesday
afternoon, when the Fisher home
burned down during the absence of
Mr. and Mrs. Fisher. The father was
in a far part of his ranch when the
flames broke out, and Mrs. Fisher
was in Oregon City calling on friends
upon the hill.
' Neighbors saw the smoke pouring
from the house, and hastened to give
what assistance they could. The chil
dren were first taken to safety, and
an effort then made to save the fur
nishings of the home. So quick was
the progress of the flames, however,
that but a stove and a folding couch
were removed before the heat mad 3
further venture into the building im
possible. The house is practically
ruined.
How the fire started, or the extant
of the insurance carried was not
known Tuesday evening.

"BIG HAND" TO WAR VETERANS
The Quality
of Service
Merchandising without adver
tising's helpful aid is a custom
that is more profitable in the
breach than in the observance.
Run over in your mind a dozen
first grade businesses that serve
the public with daily interesting
news of all that is going on with
in their spheres of activity and
then, if you can, think of just one
establishment, great or small, de
pending upon the patronage of
the public, that does not adver
tise in some way or another.
The advertiser not only renders
the public a distinct service in
presenting his announcements
frequently, but he also has per
fected a high quality of service in
his relations with his patrons
that is of an unusually satisfac
tory order.
One of the big things in busi
ness today is service, and we
think that it is found in its finest
developments in those progressve
concerns who, through the me
dium of the daily newspapers,
tell you the interesting things
you ought to know about them
selves, their merchandise. and the
quality of service they have to
offer you.
IN CITY'S HEART
PORTLAND, Or., July 15. Declara
tion of Tom Burns, Socialist leader,
that "the red flag of anarchy" would
be flown over the court house, his im
mediate arrest by a deputy sheriff,
the taking of his place by another agi
tator, and his arrest by five deputies,
brought on a riot at the corner of
Sixth and Washington streets to
night; in which police and men from
the sheriff's office arrested Socialist
after Socialist. Among those taken
in for trying to speak was Mrs. O'Con
nor, a full-blooded Cherokee woman.
Just as the disorder started, Mayor
Albee, who had been attending a late
meeting at the city hall, had come by
in his automobile. The mayor was
in time to see Burns arrested. He
immediately leaped out of his car
and in persotf 'gave orders to his po
licemen to suppress all incendiary
language and clear the streets. ;
Almost with the fjrst arrests, when
the ugly temper of the I. W. W. con
tingent had become apparent, a riot
call was sent to the police station.
With its throttle wide open he big
police patrol, bearing Captain Riley
and a dozen reserves, was at the
scene in less than a minute. -

TO BE
A special meeting of the county
school district boundary board has
been called for August 5, to consider
applications for charges in the bound
aries of several of the districts,' and
for the establishment of new ones. Pe
titions have been receivd for the for
mation of two new school districts
near Sandy, for one in the -neighborhood
of Harmony, and for one at Os
wego. Aside from this applications
have been made to the board, which
does not usually meet until Novem
ber, to change some of the division
lines at present in force.
The application for the four new
districts reflects a substantial growth
of the communities effected, and a
considerable increase in the number
sired that these four new -districts ac
comodate children when the fall term
of school opens, the board has con
sidered that an emergency exists, an i
hence will meet in special session. .

MORNING SESSION EXPECTED TO
EXPEDITE TRANSACTION
OF BUSINESS
MANY MATTERS ON THE SCHEDULE
Rock-Crusher Report Promised, as
Weil as Various Ordinances -.
Dealing With Improve
ment of Streets
Changing its meeting hour so that
its members win nave less inclination
to linger over their affairs, city coun
cil will meet this morning at nine
o'clock in special session. There are
several matters slated for discussion,
but as some of these things will be
apt to provoke long consideration, it
is 'quite possible that they; will be
postponed until another ' meeting.
When the council meets in the even
ing members have nothing to do af
terwards but retire,, but when they
meet in the morning business cares
are still to be faced.
Councilman Tooze, a week' ago,
promised to do his best to have- hi3
special committee's report on the
purchase of the rock-crusher ready
tor today's session. Mr. Tooze at
that time said that he doubted if the
committee would be able to get
through with the mass of firguring it
had to do, but declared he would
make an effort to hasten things.
Some of the figures laid before the
committee have already been made
public, and show that upon the basis
of the test recently made, the city can
save from 40 to 65 cents a yard on
crushed rock for street purposes if a
municipal rock crushing plant 4s
used. -
Improvement of Seventh street is
also to be reported upon, according
to schedule, at today's meeting. The
street committee is also due to have
a report upon delinquent property
owners who. have permitted the side
walks and parking in front of their
.holdings to become covered with din
or weeds, and if such a report is
made will possibly order some action
in the matter. There is also sched
uled a report from the street super
visor as to necessary spots for street
maintenance work.
A number of ordinances come up
for final passage at today's meeting
that deal with betterment work; and
it is possible that there will be a fur
ther report from the elevator commit
tee in regard to the progress of- ob
taining a righ-of-way for the upper
landing.
It is also believed that there will bo
a brief report upon the search for a
better water supply.
Councilmen present at the special
meeting Monday morning were en
thusiastic over the change of hours,
and expressed themselves . as being
sure that.it would work for mora ex
peditious transaction of business.
SEEDS FROM FATHERLAND -
YIELD BOUNTIFUL CROP
Seeds brought from Germany by
Henry Boege, of West Oregon City,
and planted here, have yielded a fine
crop of horse beans and green peas,
some of the best of which have been
presented to the Commercial club for
exhibition in the "land products" dis
play of Clackamas county that will
'be shown at the state fairs and at the
land shows this fall.
Mr. Boege has also sent to the Com
mercial club some fine white oats,
which will also be added to the dis
play. Scretary Freytag, of the club,
is enthusiastic over the horse beans,
as he declares that their success here
will mean a great deal to stock, rais
ers of the county. They make tho
best of fodder, he says, and are ac
counted responsible for the superb
horses raised in Germany.

GLADSTONE PARK, July 15. Col
onel Geo. W. Bain, veteran' "war
horse" of the lyceum field, and who
holds the "come-back" record among
America's platform men, appeared be
fore a big Chautauqua audience Tues
day afternoon, after having . been
knocked down and run over by a
Portland autoist, while boarding an .
Oregon City car at Portland this
morning. Undaunted, but badly
bruised, the venerable speaker ar
rived on schedule time and gave his
great lecture, "The New Woman and
the Old Man," to an . appreciative
crowd of over 2000 people.
"I have come to the conclusion," an
nounced the Colonel, as he limped
slowly to the center of the platform,
after having been introduced by Mrs.
AHa WallaoA TTnnich. . "that wnTnan
in hobble skirts and old men shoul-l
be kept off the . streets." Colonel
Bain, who by the way has lectured
thirty-eight times at Ocean Grove,
New Jersey, Chautauqua an unparal
leled record is getting , along in
years, but his rapid-fire thrusts of
humor pathos, common sense and
sparkling philosophy have not been
dampened any by his age. He still
has the vigor of a young man, and
his decision not to disappoint Chau
tauquans yesterday, after ' the auto
had run him down and passed over
his right foot, was characteristic of
the man.
"The New Woman and the Old
Man," is simply a big bouquet for the
woman of today for her inerest In
public problems, enfranchisement and
her almost universal stand on the
temperance question, all . hobble
skirts, and other modern harness to
the contrary notwithstanding. And
the "old" man of today, according to
Colonel Bain, is so designated be
cause he is second to woman, at least
on the temperance question. Colonel
Bain has lost none of the eloquence
which made him a national figure ten
or twenty years ago. In. relating his
personal experience in the liquor fight
in Kentucky, and of the obstacles
which were thrown in his way by the
"interests" hundreds in the audience
were moved to tears, and he again '
played heart-strings in his eloquent
analysis of "mother-love" and it pa
thetic relationship to the liquor traf
fic. His masterly address, however,
was not a long-faced "prohi" speech.
It fairly teemed with good stories,
and abundance of humorous com
ments and witty references, all given
in the inimitable style which has
made the speaker famous.
He touched lightly but at the same
time most effectively on modern day
problems which loom up before us
and threaten to destroy the country's
tranquility. Chiefly among these ne
mentioned the growth of extra vag- -ance
among American people, extrav
agance among all classes and in all -.
lines of industry and recreation. Col
onel Bain speaks at Chautauqua again
on Thursday evening and on ext Sun
day afternoon.
A. rare treat was Dr. James Gilbert's
morning lecture on "Education .and
Public Opinion." The occasion was
"state university morning;" and an
impromptu quartette by former glee
club stars, Burke, Prescott, Maris and
Barzee, sang old Oregon songs with
the customary Oregon spirit. Accord
ing to Dr. Gilbert, a real public opin-.
ion must be formulated only through .' i
process of education, and three ob
stacles are to be overcome only
through the broader education of the
citizens. These are impulse, - char- ,,.
acteristic of Americans everywhere
