CLOSING
SESSION OF MEDICAL SO
CIETY HELD.
Daring; the Day aCaajr Interesting: Pa
per "Were Read Oflcera Elected.
Banquet at Night.
The session of the State Medical So
ciety adjourned yesterday afternoon to
meet again In Portland next year at a
date to be fixed later by the president and
secretary. The closing day was profitably
spent, and the many discussions were
closely listened to by the physicians pres
ent. An effort will be made by the legislative
committee to get a bill through the next
legislature creating a State Board of
Hoalth. A resolution to this effect was
introduced at the morning session by Dr.
A. J. FuJton, of Astoria. The resolution
-was heartily adopted, after having been
freely discussed.
Several Interesting papers were read
during the day, and full and free discus
sion of them was indulged In. Among the
best of such papera were the following::
"Diagnosis of Smallpox," by Dr. Wal
lace "W. Potter, of Spokane: "Notes or
Vaginal Hysterectomy," by Dr. "W. F.
McNutt, of San Francisco; "Pulmonary
Tuberculosis," by Dr. R. L. Gillespie, of
Portland, and "Preventive Medicine," by
Dr. N. B. "Wlnnard, of Albany.
Dr. Potter had charge of the smallpox
epidemic in Spokane last "Winter, and his
paper was particularly Interesting.
"The worst feature of the whole mat
ter," said he, "was that no one was able
to prove his diagnosis by any textbook at
hand. No authoritative description of this
present disease was produced. The ma
jority of physicians believed it to be a
mild and unusual form of smallpox. Some
claimed It was a severe form of chicken
pox, while a few held to the diagnosis of
impetigo contagiosa.
"During the first eight months of the
outbreak Its extreme mildness of type con
tinued, and so did the diagnostic discus
sions. "In January last we had at one time
In our Isolation hospital In Spokane 55
patients. Among these were to be found
severe severe and typical cases, and it
was then that our diagnostic difficulties
were cleared away, for by comparison the
similarity of the modified to the ordinary
form of the disease was easily discerned.
"During the outbreak there has been
a total of 266 cases in Spokane. Of these,
203 were treated in the isolation hospital;
the others quarantined at their homes.
Two cases were fatal; 218 were males, 48
females; 263 white. 3 black. Ages Under
1 year, 1; 1 to 5 years. 2; 5 to 10 years.
10; 10 to 15 years, 12; 15 to 65 years, 241.
Not quite 5 per cent in children under
10 years of age. and SO per cent In adults.
"No careful record of the vaccinal
status of these was made, but the vast
majority of them had been vaccinated
but once. In infancy; while a surprisingly
large number of adults had never been
vaccinated at all. In two instances only
was a recent typical vaccination scar
discovered, and the sickness of these two
patients was trifling."
Dr. Potter then took up the general
topic, and, after going Into It in detail,
closed with the statement that the many
:ases of smallpox throughout the North
west during the past "Winter were genu
ine cases. and not Manila Itch, as many
had thought.
The discussion of this subject was en
paged in by a number of the doctors pres
ent. "Where Judges Are "Doctor.
Dr. McNutt's paper was closely listened
to. He opened his remarks by referring
to the efforts the society was making to
get a State Board of Health, and 6ald
that while he thought the move an Im
portant one. he hoped that when they
got It they would find It a more effective
one than that of California. He said down
there they were forced to call In the
Circuit Court Judges recently to determine
If there was bubonic plague in the city.
PreventinBr Dineane.
Dr. Wlnnard began his paper on "Pre
ventive Medicine" by declaring that ho
who prevents disease Is greater than, he
who cures.
"In vaccination we have a remedy that
prevents the spread of smallpox." said he.
"Statistics show that In every country
whore vaccination has been properly car
ried out, smallpox has been practically ex
terminated. Typhoid fever can be prevent
ed by a clean soil and pure water supply.
Fourteen out of sixteen cases treated by
me last year occurred in that part of the
city whore they had poor sewers and
used water from shallow wells.
"Consumption Is a contagious disease
which can be prevented. Our Government
should take steps to stop the ravages of
a disease which claims 100,000 victims an
nually. The first duty of a government
is to protect the health and lives of Its
citizens.
"There should be a National Bureau of
Health, with a Cabinet officer at Its
head and an efficient Board of Health in
each state, city, county and town. Ore
gon Is one of the few states which has no
Stato Board of Health, and, being sltuat
ad as we are. one Is greatly needed."
"Pnlmonnrr Tuberculosis."
Many of those who joined In "discuss
ing Dr. GUlespio's paper on "Pulmonary
Tuberculosis" declared that It was one of
the most important reid during the ses
sions, because It dealt with a disease with
which every physician has constantly to
battle.
Dr. Gillespie took the ground that the
disease could be cured if taken early
enough and handled in the proper way.
He also spoke of the carelessness of thoso
afflicted, in regard to the spread of the
disease, and also discussed the prevalence
of tuberculosis In cattle.
One doctor who joined in the discussion
of this paper gave It as his opinion that
a very large percentage of the cows In
this country were so afflicted. He said
that an unerring test could be made on
every cow at a cost of about 10 cents
apiece, and thought people should be com
pelled to make such tests.
Others expressed the opinion that no
one known to be afflicted with, tubercu
losis should be allowed to marry, while
one doctor strongly advocated the en
forcement of the law requiring houses
to be disinfected where such patients
have been.
Dr. "Wilson Johnston, of Colfax, "Wash.,
asserted that since tuberculosis wis con
tagious, there should be found, without
much trouble, means of preventing its
spread. Just as the spread of other con
tagious diseases could be prevented. He
advocated the disinfecting of houses In
which patients so afflicted had died, and
cited a case where a perfectly healthy
girl had gone to boarding school and
been put in a room where a consumptive
had previously been. The girl soon be
came afflicted with the disease and died.
The DnnKcrs of Surgeons.
Dr. Andrew C Smith read an interest
ing paper on "The Surgeon's Danger of
Septic Infection, and Its Treatment." He
compired surgeons to railroad men, min
ers and sawyers, who became so familiar
with danger that they forgot to be care
ful until they had lost limb or life.
He said that, while many of the punc
tures the surgeon sustained were trivial,
they were occasionally as virulent and
fatal as rattlesnake bites.
The most poisonous germ to which the
surgeon was frequently exposed, he said,
is the streptococcus, and Its virulence
depended on his condition at the time of
infection. If It carried a reserve force of
poisonous products, or ptomaines, at the
time of gaining entrance to healthy tis
sue, it would. If in sufficient numbers, and
unmolested by treatment, destroy any
life. These germs attain their most
virulent qualities in puerperal peritonitis,
and special caution is advised in protect
ing the hands in these cases.
Several cases 'were then related of doc
tors who had been infected during, opera
tion, some of whom- lost fingers, others
were invalided for months, and several
deaths of surgeons from this cause had
occurred.
Dr. Smith then related his own case at
length, and apologized for devoting so
much time to it, because it was- typically
illustrative of "The Surgeon's Danger of
Septic Infection," and of his plea for
greater caution in avoiding punctures
and abrasions. He concluded by advising
the immediate treatment of such acci
dents, as radically as rattlesnake bites,
with constriction, suction, and hypoder
mic Injection of pure carbolic acid. He
said that if he had practiced what he
now preached, he would have saved a
finger.
Other Papera Rend.
Dr. J. F. Dickson's paper on eye. ear
and nose surgery was well received.
Those who are competent to Judge pro
nounced it a most Instructive article on
the subject.
Dr. A. M. Phelps was to have per
formed an operation for hernia, but a
suitable patient could not be found, and
this part of the programme was dis
pensed with.
The other addresses of the day were all
good, and received the closest attention.
The Buslnens Session.
After the discussions had closed, a re
cess of 10 minutes was taken, after which
came the selection of officers for the next
year. There were few contests, most of
the officers being elected by acclamation.
Following are the names of the new offi
cers:
President. Dr. "W. E. Carll. Oregon City:
vice-president. Dr. C J. Smith, Pendle
ton; secretary, Dr. "W. F. Amos, Portland;
treasurer. Dr. Mae H. Cardwell, Portland.
Dr. A. C. Smith was re-elected a member
of the executive board.
The president and vice-president are
new officers. The others served last year.
Invited to "Washing-ton.
Dr. P. "W. "Willis, president of the "Wash
ington Medical Society, was present, and
Invited the Oregon doctors to attend the
next session of the Washington society.
President Lane thanked him for the in
vitation, and advised the members of
the Oregon society to accept it freely.
The new president was then conducted
to the chair, and the retiring president
was called upon for his address. He
arose and said that, aside from thanking
the members of the society for the way
they had stood by him, he had no speech
to make. He commended the work of
Secretary Amos during the past year, and
declared that the success of the twenty
seventh annual gathering was largely due
to Dr. Amos.
President Carll invited the members and
visiting physicians to meet him at Bran
des' restaurant at 9 o'clock, where a
supper and cigars would await them.
The session then adjourned.

ESTABLISHMENT NEAR BERLIN, GERMANY.
la tho suburbs of Berlin Is a dairy which should eerva as a model for similar institutions to be erected .mot other creat cities In this
country. A description of Its methods, capacity and workings is Interesting to dairymen In and around Portland. The plant covers an
area of 23,000 square meters, or nine German morgen. The floors of the different buildings amount to 20,850 square meters. The sal
aries paid to the employes of the establishment every Saturday night amount to 0S00 marks, and on the 1st of every month to 16,000 marks.
The firm uses 2C0 horses and 155 delivery wagons. It also uses 12,000 railroad milk; cans of 20 liter, or quarts, capacity each, to convey
milk from farms to the establishment. Each delivery wagon travels dally from 20 to 21 kilometers, or 8 German miles. There are three
steam engines of 247 horse-power; four steam boilers of 259 cubic meters capacity furnish the necessary steam. Besides 700 gas lights,
the plant uses one electric machine of 00-arc light power to furnish light to 22 arc lights. The water used to cleanse the numerous cans
and rooms dally amounts to 1600 cubic meters, or 1.600,000 liter, without counting the water necessary for cooling room3 and air pumps.
The milk for the use of children, invalids or the sick is drawn from carefully selected cowsby tho veterinary surgeon of the establishment.
These cows are constantly under the supervision of this official, asd are Ted on dry food only. In order to exclude all fomenting and acid
creating elements from the milk. Two traveling Inspectors are controlling the process of milking, cooling and shipping of the milk from
the farms, and see that the most scrupulous cleanliness Is observed. In consequence, the milk reaches the consumer In the be3t possible
state of sweetness and purity. The milk Is shipped and distributed In hemetlcally sealed bottles, and delivered twice a day. morning and
afternoon. Customers receive their milk of the same milking either morning or evening. Statistics prove that the death rate of children
in the first year of life In Berlin, owing to the beneficial influence of this establishment, slnco Its existence, has beeci reduced from 1.39
in 1871 to 0.S2 in 1SS7j according to the population of that city.
ter. The Alliance and South Portland and
several other steamers passed within
sight of us and entered the Ice. We saw
many small schooners sailing about await
ing an opening, but could hear nothing
of either the Dora or the Nelson. Final
ly our captain, despairing of getting
through for another 10 days or more, and
getting somewhat short of water and pro
visions, determined to sail for Dutch
Harbor.
"When about one day from here we
met a vessel which told us that the
Jeannlo had discharged at Nome and was
now on her way back to San Francisco;
also that lour other vessels, including
the Alpha and the Thrasher, were oft
Nome. The Alpha was the second ship
In. So much for our Government's bluff
about not allowing her to land. We all
felt whipped, but a cheer went up as we
rounded into this beautiful harbor and
found it filled by an Immense fleet. The
Ohio, Roanoke, San Pedro. Santa Ana,
Senator. Centennial, Lacme, Rush,
Wheeling. Brunswick. Ellhu Thompson.
Utopia, Humboldt, Chas. D. Lane and
others. Today a great cheer went up
as the old Skookum was towed In and
dropped anchor. Her stock Is In fine
shape, as she has been lucky with clear
weather all the way. Caines hulk, the
Mercury, with the lighters for the Nel
son, and other boats put out today for
Nome, in tow of the Holyoke tug.
"June 11 Tho news here now Is that
the Dora was seen about 10 days ago
struggling In the Ice up oft the delta of
the Yukon. There appears to be no doubt
but what she will get through all right
The Nelson left here several days ago
and may be In Nome now. The stout
wooden boats of her class don't fear the
i . but force a passage through
the floating pack. The lc Is - -- i
have wTecked one vessel, however, a
bark whose name I have not learned. She
was crushed and forced up and laid over
on her side on the lce Her crew were
saved. We encountered a bad gale after
leaving Flattery. It kept the boat In the
trough of the sea, and was very hard on
the stock. One horse was lost and two
others rendered unfit for service for a
long time. I was horribly sea sick and
couldn't hire anybody who was fit to care
for the horses, so I had to remain on
deck most of tho time caring for them
myself and seeing that they didn't get
down. I was only semi-conscious, but
it struck me as a funny thing that they
could eat and "drink with such gusto. I
lived on hope for three days, but have
since been an object of some anxiety to
our steward. I managed to get the stalls
well padded and braced, and our horses
are In fine shape. In fact, though wo
shall have been nearly or quite a month
at sea, I believe wo shall be able to go
to work with them almost as soon as we
land. I estimate that tho teams will earn
$10 an hour.
"There has been considerable trouble
on board, from handto-hand fights with
ruffian waiters, who are working their
passage, to a smallpox panic, which re
sulted In nothing more, than a lot of
sore arms and a few dollars in vaccina
tion fees In the pockets of the ship's doc
tor. The latter seems to have won a rep
utation as a money maker. The accommo
dations are all strictly second class, and
all the tenderfeet on board have been
putting up ai great; roar. Many have
clubbed Interests to sue the Pacific Clip
per line. But there has been an atmos
phere of greater contentment since we
put in here, and our passengers have had
a chance to compare our lot with that on
many other boats. Some of them have
had It tougher than the steerage of an
ancient Atlantic packet.
"By the way. Captain Johnson, of the
hulk Mercury, who Is a. good deal of a
blustering bully, from what I saw of
him while building the lighters at Stet
son & Port's wharf. Is said to have been
obliged to swallow Insult and contempt
on his 'ship because he had no license
to carry passengers. It is said that now
his passengers live off the fat of the
boat,- though they got scant attention
from him at first.
"This harbor presents a very lively
scene. As only two er three ships can
dock at . time and the method of deliv
ering -coal and water is exceedingly cruds
and slow, the others have to wait patient
ly at anchor for their turn. It is said
that nothing can exceed the haughty in
dependence of the company having the
monopoly of coal and water here.
"Small boats are flying about in all
directions carrying passengers to and
from ships at 25 cents a head. The
gamblers and their creatures, male and
female, have transferred their business
from the ships to the shore, and both
Unalaska and Dutch Harbor, which, you
know, are on opposite sides of the same
harbor, are running as wide open as the
eyes of the surprised natives. The many
hundreds of passengers are scattered
nbout over" the surrounding hills (which
still bear great snow banks) or Indulging
in jolly clam-bakes on the neighboring
beaches.
"While we were up against the Ice the
weather was raw and chilly. Many gut
'cold feet' and talked of taking the first
boat back from Dutch Harbor to the
States, but all appear to have regained
their spirits. There Is yet some sick
ness on the ships. We have had one
death from pneumonia, and two passen
gers are yet very sick from the samo
trouble. The death rate Is found to be
pretty high this Summer. Perhaps the
rumor of a new strike at Golovin Bay has

rejuvenated the gold fever among the
faltering ones. We pull out for the north
again June 13, and expect to go right
through." i

ANNA MILLER WOOD TALKS
She Tells Hovr California Girls Live
"When in Boslon.
Anna Miller Wood, the San Francisco
singer "who has achieved such, success In
London and Boston drawlng-roora.3 as well
as In church and concert work, in New
England, is in Portland, the guest of Mr.
and Mrs. Edgar XJoursefl. For several
years past Miss Wood has been singing in
the First Unitarian jphurch In Boston, the
oldest church organization In that city,
dating back to 1630, which makes it even
older, as a society, than that of King's
chapel. It is tho church in which Arthur
Foote. the well-known American com
poser, is organist. He happened to hear
her In London, at ,the time her singing
was beginning to attract so much atten
tion at private drawing-rooms there, and,
being then in search, of a. contralto for his
Boston choir, was successful in engaging
her.
A few minutes' talk, with Miss Wood Is
sure to reveal the fact that she has a
very winning personality. She is rather
slight, and frail-looking at first sight,
but tills is quickly belled by the freshness
of enthusiasm and energy seen in her
face, and the frank, spontaneousness of
her manner.
"Socially, Mr. Foote is the most promi
nent musician In Boston," she said. "He
belongs to a fine old family, and has a
charming wife, home and daughter of 18
at Dedham."
In answer to the question as to whether
he is really so very ugly. Miss Wood re-,
plied, loyally:
"He does not impress me so at all, for
he "has beautiful eyes and such a kind
and Interesting face. He Is exceedingly
popular, because he is always doing so
many helpful things for people; his pupils
simply adore him. Then he Is so full of
humor, and knows how to tell an after
dinner story so capitally, has quite a gift
as a raconteur In fact. He has Just fin
ished a big aria dedicated to Gertrude
May Stein, and last year composed sev
eral flno things basqd upon the 'Rubal
yat,' which made quite a little stir in
Boston."
Miss Wood makes her home with Mrs.
Marsh, a leading pianist of Boston, They
keep house together, and have the most
charming "at homes."
"Boston is esentlally a city of stu
dents. There are hundreds upon hundreds
of young people who have come there
from outside the city to attend the Con
servatory, or the 'Tech,' or to study art;
and they manage to live very pleasantly
as well as very cheaply. I have two Cali
fornia girls among my pupils, who are
living In the most comfortable, delightful
fashion" In a house Just given over to
students of various kinds, and young
women with a 'career. Zlt- Kala Sji. the
talented Indian girl, who has lately be
come the fad In Boston you've doubtless
seen her name In the Atlantic Monthly
and in Harper's Monthly and Angel de
Cora, the magazine illustrator, are there
among others. These girls go to concerts
together, and give pleasant little Bohe
mian luncheons at which one sometimes
sees notable personages; and yet they
manage to keep their living expenses,
food and room, down to $20 or $25 a month.
Their breakfasts and dinners they get
at home themselves, but go out to lunch
eon, at a little semi-private cafe next
door. There are a number of these cafes
scattered about Boston, where one can
get 21 meal tickets for $3. It Is perfectly
safe In Boston for a young woman to go

Has Entered th.e Census Office.
C H. MeussdorfTer. Jr., son of the well-
knovm East Side resident, has entered
the census office at Washington. Several
weeks ago he received a- dispatch telling
him to come to Washington. Without
knowing the purpose of the summons he
started at once. It has since been learned
that he has a place in the census office.
The young man went to the Philippine
Islands as First Sergeant of Company F,
Second Oregon, and came back as Second
Lieutenant of the regiment. He was one
of the organizers of Gilbert Camp, No.
4, and was secretary of the camp when
he left for Washington. The young man
was brought up In Portland, and has
many friends, who will be pleased over
his good fortune. The position he has
taken will likely last several years, as It
usually requires a long time to compile
and print the census.

last evening at about S:30 suddenly found
his apartments In the Brown, corner
j Hawthorne and Grand avenues, filled
i with his neighbors and friends from the
Eighth and Ninth Wards, who had come
to express their satisfaction over his elec
tion. Mr. Devlin cordially welcomed them
to his apartments. As soon as all were

promptu visit. Then followed addresses
from Judge George C. Cameron, T. A.
Davey. J. B. Relnkle, Mr. Austin, W.
W. Terry, Frank Melvln, Deputy Grutz,
O. S. Downey and others, all expressing
Ihe liveliest pleasure over the election

Whldden, who were prevented from being
present by other engagements. After a
number of addresses had been made, Mr.
Devlin recovered from his surprise and
responded in one of those fine talks for
which he has become famous, in which
he expressed his appreciation for the
friendship and good will that had been
displayed toward him all the way through
the late campaign and during the evening.
He prized this expression, he said, very
highly. Then Ice cream and cake were
served, after which cigars were passed.
The company passed a very pleasant
evening. Every one expressed the hope
that the incoming Auditor would have
success in the administration of the af
fairs of his office, and Mr. Devlin said
in answer he should conduct the office
with an eye single to the good of the

Grain Crop in Beaton Coanty.
Corvallls Times.
A gentleman who has been traveling
over the county a great deal says that
the grain crop 13 not going to be so poor
as It was generally supposed it would
be. He states that in his opinion the
crop will not be large, but it will be far
from a failure. About two-thirds of the
crop is Spring sown. The Fall grain Is
poorest, and not much can be expected
of It. while some of the Spring grain Is
in excellent condition. If nothing later
In the line of a calamity befalls the crop
It will be fair, but not large.

War, Is an accomplished musician. In 1S75,
when ho was a Captain in the Versailles gar
rison, he married Mile. Chapuls, one of the
most distinguished artists of the Opera

DROPSY FROM COFFEE.
People Beginning to Learn About the
Druff.
"Coffee treated me so badly that I want
to tell people about It, and If you can
use my letter, I will be glad. I am not a
very good scholar, but want to write a
few lines, and it I don't write a good let
ter, I am at least honest In my state
ments. . "I am 45 years old and drank coffee all
my life, up until New Year's. I have felt
bad for years and did not know what
ailed mo. I thought I had the dropsy
and heart disease. Sometimes I would
have to press my hand against my heart,
I would be in such pain, and I got so I
could hardly do my work. My head would
feel heavy and dizzy, and many a time I
have got so blind I would Just have to
drop down or else I would have fallen.
"I felt bad all over. My feet would
swell and hurt me. and I am confident If
I had continued drinking coffee I wouldn't
have been able by this time to do any
thing. A friend of mine asked me to try
Poatum Food Cpffee and stop drinking
regular coffee. I tried the Fo'stum, but it
was some days before I got hold of the
right way to make it. My heart disease
and dropsy disappeared and I got entire
ly well.
"There Is much in making It. That is.
It has to be boiled longer than ordinary
coffee, but when I got It made good. It
was fine, and now I wouldn't have coffee
in my house at all. I am sure the Post
um Food Coffee saved my life, and I am
perfectly well. Oh, how much I would
llko to see Postum In every home. I can't
praise it enough. I send you here the
.names of about twenty people that have
been helped by leaving off coffee and
using Fostum Food Coffee. (Then follows
a list of names and addresses.) Hoping
thlr. will be of benefit to some one, I re
