MCLAUGHLIN NEWS
SPURS RECRUITING
Ex-puardsmen of Long Serv
ice Want Their Former
Commander to Lead.
ORDERS EAGERLY AWAITED
Increase in Enlistments Klates
Those in Camp as Dreams of
Active Service Are Sure to Be
Realized Senator Visits.
CAMP WITHTCOMBE, Or., July 13.
(Special.) Recruiting at the army
ramp was materially stimulated today
by the news that Colonel Clenard Mc
Laughlin would retain command of the
Third Oregon infantry, now on duty on
the Mexican front.
Among the men being held with the
recruits are many ex-Guardsmen who
.have served under Colonel McLaughlin
and recognize him as an able com
mander capable of insuring the best
of care for his men. The news of
Colonel McLaughlin's retention is ex
pected to lead many other "old timers"
to re-enlist.
Already results are beginning to pour
in from the scores of letters sent out
by Captain Kenneth P. Williams to
postmasters throughout the state. Ap
plicants for enlistment are increasing
daily, and at the present the sign "no
men wanted" will soon be posted at
Clackamas, marking the limit of Ore
gon's allotted share of men to go to
tha front.
Men Elated at Prospect.
This increase of applications is
hailed with delight by the men wait
ing at Clackamas, for it means that
not only will their dreams of "service
at the front" be realized shortly, but
it allays the fear expressed in last
week's reports to the effect that lack
of enlistments might result in the
splitting of the Oregon regiment into
smaller units.
Eastern Oregon contributed its first
quota to the state's troops by the ar
rival yesterday of Ellington C. Bruce
who hails from Condon. Mr. Bruce had
not heard of the provision of the state
to furnish railroad transportation for
men coming to Clackamas to enlist, so
paid his own fare. The news of free
transportation is spreading rapidly
over the state and Eastern Oregon is
expected to rally to the colors in double
time from now on.
Senator Day Visits Camp.
An appreciated camp visitor yester
day was Senator I. N. Day. of Port
land, who spent some time gaining
facts from Captain Williams about the
conduct of camp life.
Today the hearts of the fastidious are
1 eing madf. glad by the receipt of
brand-new recruit kits which are being
Joed out by Captain George H. Schu
macher, camp quartermaster. Each man
receives one of the "Christmas pres
ents." from Uncle Sam. Each kit con
sists of a neatly packed and sealed box
containing two towels, razor, tooth
brush, -soap, comb, hairbrush, whisk
broom, shoe polish, and housewife.
The Chautauqua has won a warm
spot in the hearts of men in camp,
for the management has graciously ex
i. ruled its hospitality to the soldiers,
admitting all men In uniform free of
cl arge.
One Hundred Men Are Enlisted.
This evening is being looked for
ward to with keen expectation on ac
count of the much-heralded entertain
ment at the Y. M. C. A. tent at camp.
Manager White has made special ar
rangement with yodlers, whistlers,
sinsers and other artists of more than
ordinary reputation.
Since June 29, when Captain Williams
opened the recruiting station here un
der orders from the War Department,
Just 100 men have enlisted.
The following shows the number
of men lacking in each of the organ
isations of the Third Oregon, both

NO PLAGUE CURE FOUND
ISFAirnLE PARALYSIS GKRM IS
STILL OT ISOLATED.
Anxious Parents, However, Are Cheered
by Savant, Who Says Many Re
coveries May Be Expected.
NEW YORK. July 13. Leaders in the.
medical profession, public health ex
perts from many cities, philanthropists
and charity workers thronged the
rooms of the Academy of Medicine
here tonight to attend a mass meet
ing for the discussion of infantile par
alysis the plague which has brought
death into hundreds of homes here in
the last few weeks.
Those who hoped that a cure for
the disease would be heralded or that
isolation of its deadly germ would be
announced were disappointed. Dr.
Simon Flexner, of the Rockefeller In
stitute for Medical Research, and other
experts told of the progress made by
medical science in combatting the dis
ease, but they had no epoch-making
discoveries to proclaim.
Dr. Flexner. who has devoted his
own skill and the resources of the
Rockefeller Institute to the battle
against the disease, declared, however,
that there is no occasion for panic. He
asserted that the death rate from in
fantile paralysis is lower even than
irom other maladies considered far less
serious. He had a message of cheer
for anxious parents in the announce
ment that in a large percentage of
cases there are complete recoveries.
Artificial respiration was suggested
by Dr. Louis C. Ager as one method
of treatment. He said it was possible
that considerable might be accom
plished in that way.
Dr. Haven Emerson. Health Com
missioner of this city, told what is
being done to fight the epidemic and
asserted that the widespread alarm
which parents feel is not justified. He
said that out of 2600 suspected cases
' investigated only 1640 true cases of
infantile paralysis had been found, of
which 308 resulted fatally.
DOCTORS ELECT OFFICERS
Federal Board to Replace State Ex
aminers Favored at Seattle.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 13. Dr.
George M. Horton, of Seattle, was
elected president of the Washington
State Medical Association for 1917 at
the closing session of the annual con
vention today and Dr. J. M. Semple.
of Spokane, elected a year ago, assumed
the chair for the ensuing year. Spokane
was selected for the next convention,
the exact date of which will be set
later. In 1918 the convention will
return to 'Seattle.
The establishment of a Federal
medical examining board, which in
time may entirely replace the present
state boards, was unanimously indorsed
by the house of delegates and reported
to the general convention.
Other officers elected today to serve
for the next year were: First vice
president. Dr. C. S. Wilson, of Tacoma;
second vice-president. Dr. H. P.
Marshall, of Spokane; secretary-treasurer.
C. H. Thompson, of Seattle, and
assistant secretary - treasurer, J, H.
O'Shea, of Spokane.
NEUTRALS' PRICES RISE
FOOD NEARLY AS COSTLY AS IN
BELLIGERENT COL N TRIES.
Austria la Hit Hardest by War. Meat
Having Increased More Than
.-.oi Per Cent Since 1014.
WASHINGTON. July 13. War's in
crease of food prices in Europe, as
shown today by the Bureau of Labor
statistics, has touched neutrals almost
as heavily as it has the belligerents.
The Teutonic countries have felt the
pinch more than have the entente allies.
The bureau's statistics give the big
gest food price advances in Austria,
where meats are more than 500 per
cent higher than before the outbreak of
hostilities. Beef that in February, 1914.
sold for 6.3 cents a pound now brings
38.7 cents. Meat prices in Berlin show
increases ranging from 45 to 160 per
cent.
The British pubjic is paying on an
average 55 per cent more for its food
than It did two years ago. The great
est increase, 152 per cent, has been in
sugar; the lowest, 17 per cent, in oleo
margarine. In France prices are 23
per cent above the pre-war average;
in Italy, around 30 per cent.
Price increases in the neutral coun
tries are shown to be highest in Nor
way, where 29 necessities are sold at an
average of 63 per cent more than in
1914. Copenhagen workmen pay 34 per
cent more for table articles than two
years ago. In Sweden prices are 21 per
cent higher; in Switzerland the range
is from 3 per cent to 175.
IDAHO SAID TO BE FUDGING
Malheur's Liquor Receipts Blamed
in Part lo Neighbor.
ONTARIO, Or., July 13. (Special.)
Five thousand, eight hundred fifty-six
quarts of beer and 560 quarts of whisky
or other strong liquors were shipped
into Malheur County in the month of
June, according to affidavits from com
mon carriers on file in the office of the
County Clerk.
It is asserted that residents of Idaho
are responsible for a large part of these
receipts, but it is not within the duty of
Oregon officers to stop them if they
comply with the Anderson lay.
Proceedings are contemplated to test,
by appeal to the Supreme Court, begin
ning in a local court here, whether an
Individual is entitled to 24 quarts of
beer and two quarts of whisky in a
month, or only one of the two.
COOS BAY DEFENSE URGED
Victor Murdock Tells Marslifield
About Coast Fortifications.
MARSHFIELD, Or.. July 13. (Spe
cial.) Victor Murdock talked last uight
at tne cnautauqua on the advisability
of fortifying Coos Bay, and handled
preparedness without glovee. Mr. Mur
dock said that naval and other Gov
ernment men, among them engineers,
have told him that Coos Bay and Mon
terey Bay are the two weak points on
the Pacific Coast, and each is subject
to attack and would present Ideal
places for invasion.
There is a Government reserve of 270
acres at Coos head with plenty of room
for fortifications. It was understood
some time ago that Coos Bay was
among the first of the points which the
Navy Department was considering for
recommending protection

as significant.
