SPOTTED FEVER REPORTED tTwo Cases of Pellagra, Also Uncom mon Disease, Are Heard From. A case of spotted or tick fever was reported to the State Board of Health yesterday. It is an unusual disease. The sufferer is Miss Barbara Geisler, of Mount Vernon, Grant County. The rate of mortality from this disease has been shown to be much lower In East ern Oregon and Idaho than in the Rocky Mountain region, being only 20 per cent, while that in the Bitter Root Valley in Montana is up to 90 per cent. Another uncommon disease, of which two cases have been reported to, the board recently, is pellagra. One of these, now at the Multnomah County Hospital. came from Illinois. The other, which resulted in death at Al bany the .first of this month, was shown to have come from Texas. The board wishes to forestall any impres sion that this disease is endemic to Oregon.

School children of Portland yesterday and the day before raided the Commer cial Club and the Chamber of Com merce for literature on Oregon, as a result of the Ad Club prize essay con test on the advantages of Oregon. The contest was announced last week end the competition is so arranged that pupils in both the grammar and high schools may have a fair opportunity of winning prizes. Immediately pupils from all of the schools began to make their appearance at the information de partments of both the club and the chamber, asking for Oregon literature. The raid reached its height yester day, when at times there were a score of pupils in the building. The essays are to be .used, to advertise Oregon in other states.

"Stuntmaster" Higgins ha3 plans for many unique attractions. From every indication the local club will have the largest delegation to the Coast convention, and probably the largest Coast delegation to the Na tional convention. A committee of 30 members has been appointed by President Berg to take care of all the arrangements. At the Sacramento convention last year, the Portland delegation scored heavily. Little Sophie Tucker, the mascot of the, delegation, as Caroline Testout. was the feature in all the parades. The little girl, seated in the center of a huge rose borne upon the shoulders of the Admen, easily carried off first honors ln all the advertising stunts performed by the different delegations. - Tickets can be obtained at the Ad Club headquarters in the Portland Hotel. wnnil Vnlchi' anrl "Rrflc Knrlntra r-nul Albina Fuel Co.
