THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, HAY 16, 1903. it THEY OBJECT TO CENSURE CLACKAMAS COUNTY HEALTH OFFI CERS DEXY XEGL1GEXCE. Tkey Explain Their Xegrlect -to Act Wken Xotlfled of Smallpox at Sycamore. ORDGON CITY. Or., May 15. (Special.) The attempt of the officers of the Mult nomah County Board of Health to place the blame for the existence of some Iso lated cases of smallpox in this county entirely in the officers of Clackamas County has arbused the latter;. Exception is taken by the Clackamas County physi cians to the statements .and .-representations of the Multnomah County- Health officers with reference to tha smallpox caees in the vicinity of Sycamore. "The only notification we -have Tecelved of the existence of smallpox in -Clackamas County." said Dr. J. W, Powell, who with his partner, .Dr. J. "W. Morris, are the county physicians and health officers for Clackamas County, "was about two weeks ago when v:e received a letter from some person connected with the health department of Multnomah County, calling our attention to the illness of young RIchey with the disease. So poorly was the communication written that wo were unable to decipher the full text of the letter or ascertain Its author. The letter stated, however, that Rlchey was being properly quarantined and that all precautions were being exercised to pre vent any spread of the malady. I wrote Dr. Geary, of the Multnomah Board of Health, requesting a continuance of tne treatment of the Richey case in Clacka mas County, assuming that no expense for the services would be attached to this county. We heard nothing further from the Multnomah County authorities until Thursday when I had a telephone mes sage stating that there were eeveral cases of smallpox near Sycamore and In Clack amas County that required attention. I proceeded to that place at once but found conditions other than represented. There have not been to exceed 20 cases of the disease In this county and in every 'in stance the afflicted had only mild attacks. I learned that the Rock Creek- School, which J located in the midst of the small pox district, had not suspended sessions lor a day and that no pupils who had contracted the disease, were attending the school. Henry Troge, a director of the Rock Creek School, was one of the last patients, and when I visited his place yesterday, I found him shearing sheep. He will notify us if any other cases de velop and all such will be promptly treated. "Judge Ryan, who, under the law. Is the other member of the County Board of Health, has not been notified of a single case of the disease so far as 1 am In formed. The section in -which the disease has been confined is one- of the most re mote parts of the county. Being con tiguous to Multnomah County, the bulk of the trade and business transactions of the community go to places in that county, this city having no direct means of communication with the infected dis trict In the treatment of these isolated cases In this county, it has "been the policy of the county authorities to allow the at tending physician to treat the disease if a proper quarantine is maintained and precautions taken to prevent all con tagion. Any criticism of Clackamas County officials in this connection Is un called for and unjust. "When notified of any cases of smallpox or other contagious dlacase. steps have always been taken Immediately to treat the afflicted and pre vent a spread of the malady. The people of the county have co-operated with the officials at all times and have used every precaution to exterminate the disease." County Judge Ryan, the County Health Officer, is out of the city today and could not be interviewed, but It is known that ho has at no time been notified- of any case of smallpox In the vicinity of Syca more. The county health officers were today notified of a mild case of smallpox at MUwaukle. Dr. TV. B. Perry Is in charge of the case, which has been quarantined. SPREAD OF DISEASE CHECKED. County Health. Ofllcer Compelled to Take Prompt Action. PORTLAND. May 15. (To the Editor.) For the past four or flvo months the city health officers have had a number of cases of smallpox to handle, and despite the vigorous work on the part of the City Physician. Dr J. C. Zan, and his able assistant, William Beutlespacher, the dis ease has continued to manifest itself, cropping out hero and there, and In many instances no authentic trace of its origin could be secured. Since the creation of the County Board of Health the situation has assumed quite an alarming aspect, as on following some of the cases reported here the County Health Officer, Dr. E. P. Geary, and myself, acting as his deputy, have traced up no Jess than 20 cases of smallpox n Multnomah County, and near ly twice as many more In Clackamas. Owing to the dread of quarantine in some instances, and failure of the attend ing physicians in others to diagnose the disease as smallpox, and the lack of a County Board of Health, with proper au thority to make and enforce quarantines' the disease has continued to spread until whole communities have been Infected. Fortunately, the cases in the main are mild cases of a varioloid type, although here and there a case of confluent malig nant nature has developed, and in many Instances these cases havo suffered severe illness, and a number bear the evidence of disfiguring pockmarks. On their first trip to the Infected territory the Multno mah County officers traced the infection to Clackamas, and so notified the authori ties there. In one instance, owmg to the nearness of the county lino (about .00 yards), a quarantine was established and Clacka mas County officials notified, with an offer of assistance in stamping out the epi demic No attention was v taken of the report except a letter stating that they presumed their county would not be asked to stand any of the expenses incurred. Shortly after this, the disease being well under control on the Multnomah side, the Health Board here sent their deputy to the stricken county about Prineville and Sban iko, in answer to a call from there, where he remained two weeks, assisting in the work. On returning to visit the few re maining cases still held in quarantine, matters came to his notice that the Clack amas County Health Board had Ignored his report on the infection, and the rumor that the afflicted persons weive going about at will, children from their families at tending school and no feffort being made to care for or protect the surrounding neighborhood, prompted him to report the matter to Dr. Woods Hutchinson, of the State Board of Health. Armed with a deputyshlp and an author ity to act in the premises, a systematic in vestigation disclosed an alarming state of affairs. The report thus far was only too true. In one case the family had placed a red flag, signifying scarlet fever, on the gate, but had no physician attending since the first appearance of the disease, al though it had been the means of three of their own family having It. and without a doubt exposed many others. A physi cian called on another matter during the progress of the first case told them that it might be smallpox, but failed either to re turn or report the case to the. State Health u Board, although the recent Legislature passed a law providing a penalty for such gross nsgligence. Section 12 of the state law is in part as follows: "Every physician or other person under whose charge any Infectious or epidemic disease occurs must report the same to the county or city health officer Immediately. . , . Anypersoaviolatlnganysectlon of -this act or any part thereof shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and be fined not less than 510 nor more than $100." Section 13 declares that an emergency exists, and that the law shall go into ef fect when'apprbved Joy the Governor. This he did on February 17. The County of Multnomah, taking cogni zance of this law. began immediately to comply with its p"rovislons. The alarming and almost criminal carelessness hitherto connected with this health work has so appealed to the county health officer. Dr. E. P. Geary, and his deputy, that the at tention of the state board has been called to the matter and prompt action is -now assured. The importance of this office was so impressed on the authors of the bill that almost unlimited power Is conferred on the different County Boards of Health, Section 9 says: "Every County Board of Health shall have the power to quarantine against any other county or counties or adjoining state wherein any Infectious disease or diseases exist, if in its Judgment it is deemed necessary, and shall also have power to quarantine any case or cases of infectious disease within the county, and shall have authority to call upon, all po lice officers. Sheriffs. Constables and all county officers to enforce such quarantine, subject to the authority of the state health officer." This county has had to resort to strin gent measures against the State of Wash ington once since the act was declared a law. and, acting through our state board, force a proper quarantine and such other measures as were deemed necessary to check an -epidemic of smallpox which a county board there refused to quarantine, but reported as "Manila Itch," and only by prompt and vigorous action by State Health Officer Hutchinson were matters finally placed under proper regulations in preventing a further spread there, for which this county was put to enormous expense by two infections traced directly tor that source. The local authorities there Ignored tho report of the deputy health of ficer of Multnomah County, delivered in person, and- only when their own state board was notified and action forced through It were the proper steps started to prevent the future spread of tho epi demic, of which about 55 cases were traced In a territory of five square miles. The in tention of the state board is to enforce this law to the letter, and the Multnomah board at least has given valuable assist ance in establishing a precedent. DUDLEY EVANS, Deputy Health Officer. TAXES ON NORTH BEACH Delinquents Have Time to Redeem Property. SEAVIEW. Wash., May 13. (To the Editor.) The article In The Oregonlan of the 11th Inst, entitled "War on the Beach," does unintentional injustice to North Beach and at the same time Is an unjust criticism upon the laws of this state in relation to the collectlqn of taxes and tax sales. Your reporter says that property Is sold without a period reserved for redemption. This Is not correct, for the period of redemption, so called. Is granted the delinquent before the salo Instead of after, and in the Instances cited, and many others besides, the parties have failed to pay taxes for near ly ten years, and their property sold In 1902 for taxes of 1S33-4-5. No state In the Union has passed more liberal, conserva tive and generous measures and laws in behalf of the taxpayer, than has Wash ington, and after the hard times of 1593 many measures passed In the Washington Legislature designed to relieve the people, by rebating penalties, costs and delin quencies; and In some instances cancelling taxes altogether in case the delinquent paid up for certain years within a pre scribed seasonable time. In March, 1S93, there was also an act passed which pro vided that all costs, penalties and inter est in excess of 6 per cent per annum from date of delinquency, which became delinquent during the year 1S37 and former years should be remitted It taxes were paid on or before November 1. The constant aim of the Washington Legis lature has been to forgive and relieve tho "forgetful" delinquent. For example: In March, lSOL It was pro vided that foreclosure proceedings for taxes of 1895 and former years should not be had until after December L 1900. and no certificates of delinquency held by the county for taxes of 1S95 and former years such proceedings should not be had until December 1. 1900, and not later than Jan uary L 1902. And In tho act of 1901, it is provided that after five years delinquency, prop erty remaining on the tax rolls shall bo foreclosed for the county. How much more time does' a delinquent Portland owner of property on North Beach ex pect to have granted him within which he shall contribute his share to the run ning expenses' of the government of the State of Washington? Is it either consist ent with .good citizenship or common honesty for him to enjoy his Summer outing In his "Summer home" at North Beach, while he "forgets" to bear his share of the common expense and allows the resident owners of Pacific County to put up for him for from five to ten years for the protection which tho laws afford to his property? And if he cannot "re member" that he has not paid, although he has had from five to ten years' time within which to "scratch his cranium," then he ought to lose It. as a means of escaping the continuing odium of "graft ing" on the good citizens, resident and nonresident, who do pay. North Beach is all right, the laws of.the-sta'te are fair and generous to a fault, and prospective investors need not fear unfair treatment if they will-do as they would' be doneby. The ejectment of "tho man with the gun vi et armls," was accomplished raoro likely vl et shekels than armls. SEAVIEW. CALIFORNIA AT THE FAIR One of Her St. Louis Commissioners Proposes BIr Exhibit. "My idea Is that California should make relatively as good a showing at the Port land Exposition as at the St. Louis Ex position, and I am inclined to believe that this can and will be done." This is the opinion expressed by J. A. Filcher, one of the Commissioners to pre pare the California exhibit at the St Louis Fair, in an interview published by the Sacramento Record-Union. He con tinued: "With the splendid exhibit that Califor nia will have at St. Louis it will be an easy matter to make a magnificent dis play at Portland, and this Is contemplated ? Ve,.law passed y the last Legislature of California, which appropriated $20,000 rith which to transfer tho California ex hibit from St. Louis to Portland. From my experience In such things It is mv opinion thit $20,000 will be enough to do this work of transfer well, and that Cali fornia will not bo ashamed of the display that will be ready when the time comer. But so .far as that is concerned there need be no worry, for if more money is needed there can be no question that the next Legislature would make the proper appro priation, In view of the good feeling that exists between California and our sister state, Oregon. There Is a Coast pride that will urge us to help our next-door neigh bor to keep up with the best in the land. The Oregon Exposition is bound to be worthy of the great occasion that calls it into existence, and California will con tribute her share to Its success." LOWRATB OCEAX TRIP. O. H it X.

BRIDES NEED DIPLOMA PREACHER SATS THET SHOULD HAVE MOTHERL1XESS. IniaeBce of "Parents on Religions Tecchlnjr of Children Chief Topic at SHBday School Meeting. "Women should be. given a diploma of motherllness before they are married," says Rev. W. H. Selleck, who spoke yes terday at the annual convention of the State Sunday School Association. "What does a young woman who has had no experience in the training of chil dren know about bibles? When the child Is placed in her arms, she has no idea how to care for it physically. Think how much more she has to learn about giving it religious instruction as it grows older. A child learns more In the first five years of Its life than at any other time. No course In college In after years can teach it as much. It is the mother who Is the chief instructor In this university. The father helps by spells, but it is the mother all the time." Rev. Mr. Selleck's subject was "The Re lation of the Home to the Sunday School." His object was to point out that parents do not clear themselves of their natural responsibility by sending a child to Sun day school. 'The responsibility of the child's In struction fills upon the mother. The father often farms out his share in his own children. To the mother he turns over the general Instruction of the child, to the public school its secular training, and to the Sunday school Its religious in struction. Then he goes out with the Idea that all he has to do with the child's enre Is to provide the money, and to say how much shall be spent for each pur pose. "The Sunday school should not supplant the homo training, it should only supple ment it.- If the child Is merely sent to Sunday school, sooner or later he will resent this act of being sent, and will de clare that he no longer needs to go. He sees his father absenting himself, and as he grows older believes that he knows as much as hi father, and therefore there Is no need of his attending the Sunday school of his childhood. "Tho religious training which the child gets in the Sunday school, however, has a great effect upon the rest of the house hold. Often we have reached people in no .other way than through the -Sunday school. While In Seattle my wife has charge of n. large primary Sunday school class. While making my pastoral calls I often heard of things which sho had said to her scholars, but seldom of anything which I had said in the pulpit. Fathers and mothers must bring the children, to Sunday school themselves, not send them." The annual convention closed yesterday with a number of addresses by well-known workers in this line. The sessions held yesterday morning, afternoon and evening In the First Christian Church were well attended by ministers and teachers in the Sunday schools of all denominations. The ISth annual convention was agreed by all to bo one of the most successful and help ful fever held in the state. The closing day of the session began yesterday morning with devotional serv ices by Rev. W. S. Gilbert, pastor of tho Calvary Presbyterian Church. Rev. Alex ander Blackburn, D. D., delivered an ad dress on tho meetings of teachers. W . C, Pearce, of Chicago, one of the most prom. inent Sunday school workers In the coun try, spoke upon the opportunities of teach ers. Rev. E. M. Sharp of Portland, told of evangelistic methods in tho Sunday school. The afternoon session opened with an address on "Tho Model Home," by Rev. E. N. Allen, of Portland. "The Christian home Is tho model home," said Mr. Allen. "The model Chris tian home has Its Influence upon the com munity and the Nation. It all begins with the home. The homo must measure up to the standard in order to make the city or the village what It should be." Rev. Mr. Selleck then followed with his address upon "The Relation of the Home to the Sunday School." W. C. Pearce spoke upon Sunday school discipline. Mrs. J. Woodbrldge Barnes, of Newark, N. J., addressed the meeting upon the develop ment of supplemental lessons. js the result of the report of tha noml natlng committee the following officers were elected: President, Rev. A. A.

C, says : The following mall advices have been re ceived from Australia by the steamship Aorangi, which, brought over the largest number of passengers on record: In speaking of the terrible drought still prevailing In Australia, H. C. Russell, the government astronomer of Australia, claims to have made the discovery after long and careful search among astronom ical records, that the moon regulates the rain. Astronomers of the different Aus tralian colonies have Indorsed Mr. Rus sell's theory. Mr. Russell says: "I speak positively when I say I have found tho moon controls the rain. My researches extend for 36 years. Briefly, when the moon Is moving South there is plenty of rain; when it Is moving North there are yean of drought, so there are alternate wet and dry periods, the wet lasting nine years and the dry ten. So that long beforehand preparations can be made for the coming drought" Astronomers the world over are now inr vlted to Investigate Mr. Russell's- asser tion. A severe earthquake has been felt In Warranpool. It was the worst on record. School children became panic-stricken; horses and cattle ran amuck. A tidal wave succeeded the earthquake.

The Council street committee yesterday afternoon waded through several -' peti tions for street improvements, granting them In all cases. Reports from- the City Engineer on the widening of "two' streets were also received and ordered adopted. The Title Guarantee and Trust Com pany presented a petition for the vacation, of an alley In Central Alblna, and June 3 was set for the date for hearing re- 1 monstrances. Several of .the owners near Sixth ana Gllsan streets asked that the old stono" blocks be left In place at that Intersec tion. Instead of having them taken out and relald on' concrete, as was first in tended. This will delay the improving of Sixth street -for six weeks, but In the minds of tho committeemen it was deemedadvlsable; and the delay will have to bo made. The committee adjourned until Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, -when It will meet with Messrs. Cardwell and Slgler to de termine the assessable district for the cost of the new First-street bridge, and the district for the Improvement of Hood and Water streets The Council liquor license committee met yesterday and acted favorably on three transfers presented.
