TO PROTECT PUBLIC
City Council to Check Spread
of Contagious Diseases,
RIGID ORDINANCE IS DRAWN UP
City Physician Is Gives Greater
Powers o Enforce Quarantine
Physicians and Lodglng-Hcmse
Keepers Must Report.
At the adjourned meeting of the Com-,
mon Council "yesterday an ordinance de
signed to prevent the spread of conta
gious diseases was Introduced. An ordi
nance was also Introduced to grant a
franchise for the erection and maintenance
of boxes on the streets for 16 years
for displaying advertisements and Inci
dentally for persons to put waste paper
in. A delegation from the Hlllsboro
Board of Trade appeared to advocate the
granting of a franchise through the city
to an electric railroad from Hlllsboro. A
cumber of petitions for street Improve
ments were introduced. Mayor Rowe pre
sided and all the members were present
except Holbrook.
An ordinance declaring what are com
municable diseases dangerous to the pub
lic health and to prevent the spread of
contagious diseases was introduced by
Sronaugh, chairman of the committee on
health and police.
The primary object of this ordinance is
to prevent the spread of smallpox, which
la becoming so prevalent here as to cause
alarm, and the provisions of it are quite
stringent. The city authorities have be
come weary of well doing in the way
of taking care of smallpox patients who
flock into the city from all directions and
spread contagion in their wake. It is
also alleged that many doctors mistake
smallpox for chicken-pox and thus add to
the spread. This Is a serious menace to
the public health, which It Is necessary to
guard against. It is further alleged that
no attention is paid to the quarantine
3aws, and that a man placed under quar
antine continued to go abroad and attend
public meetings and appear in public
places, until the disease attacked him and
confined him to his room. The ordinance
will provide severe penalties on such in
fractions of the law.
The ordinance names the following dis
eases as dangerous to the public health,
and provides that they shall be immedi
ately reported to the Health Commission
er: Smallpox, chicken-pox, bubonic
plague, leprosy, diphtheria, membran
ous croup. cholera, scarlet fever,
'measles, whooping-cough, erysipelas and
typhoid fever.
It further provides that it shall be un
lawful for any one affected with any dis
ease dangerous to the public health to be
admitted to any school, or for any parent
or guardian to permit any child affect
ed with any such disease to attend any
school, or to be present in any public
place or in any public conveyance. It
also makes It unlawful for persons resid
ing In any building In -which there is or
have been any persons affected with any
communicable disease dangerous to pub
lic health,' or who haa been affected by
any such disease, to be admitted to any
school unless furnished with a certificate
signed by a reputable physician, stating
that all danger of communicating such
disease Is past, said certificate to be ap
proved and Indorsed by the City Physi
cian. The City Physician shall have power to
quarantine for 14 days all persons who
have been exposed to smallpox, or who
may tte suspected of having been so ex
posed, and to vaccinate or revacclnate all
who may have been so exposed.
In cases of death from any of the dis
eases named in the ordinance the funeral
shall be strictly private, and no person
except the undertaker or his assistants
shall be permitted to enter tne nouse con
taining the remains, except by permis
sion of the City Physician.
Provision is made for disinfecting and
fumigation of rooms in which there have
been cases of communicable diseases, as
soon as the City Physician or health offi
cer may direct.
It shall also be unlawful for any per
son to enter or leave any building In
fected with any communicable disease,
dangerous to the public health, or to at
tend any meeting or place of amusement
or travel In any public conveyance, or ap
pear upon any street or highway without
first procuring a permit from the City
Physician or Health Commissioner, and
obeying absolutely their directions as to
all sanitary precautions which shall be
prescribed.
Section 9 makes It the duty of any physi
cian or other person practicing the art
of healing In this city to report to the
Board of Health, in writing, within 24
3' iurs after the case shall be called to his
attention, every patient he shall have
affected with any disease dangerous to the
public health, or any disease Involving
an eruption or disorder of the skin; and to
report to the Board of Health every case
of death from any such disease immedi
ately after It shall have occurred.
Section 10 makes it trie duty of every
housekeeper, hotel-keeper, boarding-house
keeper, or lodging-house proprietor In the
city to report Immediately In writing to
the Board of Health the name of every
person living in such house whom he or
she may have reason to suspect or believe
to be affected with any communicable
disease dangerous to the public health,
or any other dangerous or infectious or
contagious disease or any disease Involv
ing any eruption or disorder of the skin.
A penalty for violating any of the pro
visions of this ordinance is provided by
a fine of from $10 to $200 or by imprison
ment from 10 to CO days.
It was the desire of the health and po
lice committee to have the ordinance
passed at once, as there is urgent need of
such a law, but ilulkey suggested that an
other section be added, providing that in
cases where persons, knowing themselves
to be affected with an eruptive disease,
come into the city, they shall be placed In
the pesthouse, and when recovered shall
be brought before the Municipal Court
and punished by fine or imprisonment, and
further asked that the penalty in such
cases by fine or Imprisonment be made
more severe.
On motion of Bronaugh the ordinance
was referred to Mulkey to frame and in
sert the section suggested by him, to re
port at the next meeting of the Council.
An ordinance granting a license to
"White, Hayden & Sherman to construct
and maintain waste paper bqxes in the
6trcets and public places of the city was
introduced and referred to the street com.
mlttee. The grantees are to have the ex
" elusive use of said boxes for advertising
purposes and shall pay the city 50 cents
per annum for each box for the first five
years, 73 cents for the second five years,
and $1 each for the third five years.
Petitions for the Improvement of the
following-named streets were presented
and referred to the street committee:

teenth and Sixteenth, to the entrance to

PORTLAND. March 12. (To the Editor.)
I read in The Oregonlan today that the
Wells-Fargo Company would celebrate the
semi-centennial of its formation on March
15. This reminds me that William Fargo,
one of the founders, If not the founder of
the company, a poor, ragged little ur
chin, in my early boyhood was a com
panion and playmate of mine in the town
of Pompey, in the State of New York. His
parents were so poor that they were fre
quently assisted by their charitable neigh
bors. When I was on my way as one of
the Senate committee to accompany the
remains of Mr. Lincoln from Washington

to Springfield, "BUI" Fargo came out from
Buffalo, of which city he was then Mayor,
to meet me on the train. While we were
in that city he entertained me magnifi
cently In his palatial mansion, said to
have cost $500,000. "Seest thou a man dill

made a heavy and impressive Dad, and

which was appreciated. Ralston's panto
mime specialty was unusually well done.
The play tonight will be "The Two Orphans,"

TO THROW OPEN ART LOAN
Ltbrnry Exhibition of American
Paintings Free on Sundays.
The directors of the Portland Art Asso
ciation have decided to throw open tho
loan exhibition of pictures by American
artists, now on view at the Public Li
brary, to the public free of charge, for
the next two Sundays, between the hours
of 2 and 5. A representative collection of
American pictures Is on exhibition, which
have been secured from Portland art lov
ers whose purses permit them the luxury
of possessing masterpieces, and the direc
tors felt that there was, perhaps, a large
part of Portland's population who would
like to view them, but did not feel able
to spend the money necessary.
It Ib understood that the plan for open
ing the exhibit for two Sundays is In a
nature experimental. If It is found that
there Is a demand for a free view, the ex
periment will be continued and become a
custom. There Is no other exhibit of rep
resentative paintings in Portland, and the
success of throwing galleries open to the
public in other cities has moved the local
association to try the plan.
MINING FIELD LIVELY.

"The Baker mining fields are very active
