The attack was in a mild form in most instances and no deaths resulted. The city has been under quarantine for a week, schools and public meet ing places being closed. City Mar shal McKown is acting as special quarantine officer and is carrying medicine and groceries to the quaran tined families by auto. In some cases practically entire families are bed fast. The father and seven other members of the J. N. Tittle family of ten are ill.

Selection of a playground site in the St. Johns district was delayed yes terday when a delegation of residents and business men of that section ap peared before the city council and protested against the proposed pur chase by the city of the Caples tract, comprising approximately seven acres. C. J. Anderson, a property-owner, was the lone advocate of the purchase of the Caples tract, a site which he de declared was favored by the "prole tariat, who could not leave their work to lobby against the Caples tract." With the arguments for a large playground, at least 20 acres, to take care of the recreational needs of chil dren as well as adults, came a bit of "inside history" concerning develop ment of the Peninsula district as out lined by F. C. Knapp, commissioner of public docks and president of the lninsula Lumber compajiy. IndUHtrtnl Krpnnxlon Coming. T wish that I might tell the mayor and city council of some things that I know," said Mr. Knapp, "but I am pledged to secrecy. I can say that I expect to employ 500 more men in my plant alone within a year and that I am now seeking a location on the peninsula for an industry which, if located there, win employ 1500 men. "In talking with the superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph com pany the other day I learned that of ficials of that company placed Port land among the leading progressive manufacturing and industrial centers. I was told that Portland was seriously expected to pass Seattle within the course of a few months. I have learned that this company has appro priated $12,000,000 for betterments to its plants in the Pacific Northwest and that $2,000,000 will be spent out side of Portland and $10,000,000 in laying a cable to connect Portland or some other coast city with China. "In considering future industrial de velopment you must bear in mind that the Peninsula district has the space to accommodate such industries. More industries mean more families, and therefore I urge the purchase of a playground site which will meet pres ent as well as future needs." Tract Held Too Small. Principal objection to the Caples tract was because of its small size, a 20-acre tract adjacent to the O.-W. R. & N. railway cut being favored in stead. Dow V. Walker, a home owner in St. Johns, .appeared as head of the delegation opposing the Caples tract. He contended that public sentiment favored a larger park, because it was ' generally believed that the select'on made at this time would be final for many years to come. "Proletariat" at Work. r After eight of ten of the delegation favoring a larger tract had addressed the council, Mayor Baker requested proponents of the Caples tract to take the floor. AVhen none appeared the Mayor turned to Mr. Anderson and asked: "Where's the proletariat, Mr. An derson?" "At home," responded the Caples tract advocate. "The proletariat de pend on your good Judgment. They must work and have no time to come here like the bosses. The common people want the Caples tract." IS OUTSIDE XOBLES TAKE INTER EST IX GREAT EVENT. Letter Prom Salem, Inclosing Check, Indicative of General Spirit of Entertainment. Portland Shriners are not the only ones who are subscribing t" the big fund of thousands of dollars which is necessary to bring here and entertain royally and fittingly the thousands of people who are determined to crowd the railroads to the limit that they may attend the forty-sixth an nual imperial council session here in June. . The following letter was received at Shrine headquarters indicative of the-interest taken from the outside, this letter coming from a Salem noble: "Your second S. O." S. reached me while my caravan was eluding the unregenerate hordes of the upper Willamette valley, where I was en gaged in an earnest endeavor to cor ral the kale wherewith to respond to your first plaintive wail. "After that' strong-backed and weak-minded aggregation known to the unsuspecting initiate as the Arab patrol had gone through me, I had only a few simoleons left on my per son and owing to the treatment that it had received, it was only worth 47 cents on the dollar. "Inclosed find a small check which I beseech you to spend with great care, as it represents all that I have tj-een able to make out of my expense account since last ground hog day. "With the best regards of an old comrade who fit, fled and dam near died with you at the now historical battle of Eugene, I remain, yours faithfully, ." C. B. C0MPT0N DIVORCED Ex-Officer, Deceived as to Age of Former Nurse, Is Freed. . HOOD RIVER, Or., March 31. (Special.) Judge George W. Staple- ton of Portland, who three weeks ago heard the divorce case of C. B. Comp ton versus Mrs. Ellen M. Compton here, has given the plaintiff the de cree. In his summing up the Judge states that Mrs. Compton's claim that she was born in 1886 is contravened by testimony of the plaintiff that she was born in 1875. Mrs. Compton is a native of Ireland. A certified copy of her naturalization papers gave 1875 as the year of her birth. The couple were married at El Paso, Tex., in December, 1918. He was there as an officer of the United States guards, and she was an army nurse. They, met while he was a pa tient at a military hospital. BIG DEAD WHALE ON BEACH Carcass Xear Bandon, Or., May Drive Pamily Prom Home. BANDON. Or., March 31. (Special.) A mammoth sperm whale, measur ing 75 feet in length, has floated ashore about three miles north of here at the mouth of Cut creek.

Smith mining plant and home on the beach. Mr. Smith is praying for the wind to shift northward and remain there. While there are thousands of sea ffUlls at work clearing up the remains.

"FLU" GRIPS FALLS CITY 70 Cases Are Reported and Many Families Are Quarantined. FALLS CITY, Or., March 31. (Spe cial.) Falls City today was in the Back on Job Now. Feeline- ' o Fine and Praising Tanlac "Before I commenced taking Tanlac I was so weak I couldn't walk, much less hit a lick of work, but now it's a fact, I feel as well and strong es ever and am back on the job for the first time In a year and a half," was the remarkable statement made re cently by C. E. Wilkihs, a well-known employe of the Davis Bakery of Los Angeles, whose home address is 7336 Hamilton St., Oakland. Oalif. "When my troubles began I was as strong and healthy a man as you ever saw, but I went down hill and lost so much weight that I was only a shadow of my former self; but since taking Tanlac I have actually gained forty-five pounds in weight and feel as strong as an ox. Four years ago I had a general breakdown and I got so bad off that In two years I had to be operated on. After that I was not able to regain- my weight and strength and I got worse so fast that in s;x months' time I had to give up my po sition and quit work entirely My stomach was sour all the time and it seemed that everything I ate formed into a 'hard lump and caused me to have a stuffed-up feeling after every meal. My head felt heavy and stifled all day long and I could never get it cleared up. My whole system seemed to be poisoned and I had a bad case of what they called auto-intoxication. Finally I had fallen off so much in weight that I was too weak to walk and I was in such misery all the time I hardly cared whether I lived or not. I spent over $1000 trying to get relief, but Instead I grew worse all the time. "Finally I got hold of Tanlac an I was astonished at the way I im- proved. I could almost feel the change coming over me and I kept on taking Tanlac until it built me up to where my friends were all simply amazed at my recovery and hardly knew me when they first saw me. I regained all my lost weight and strength and went back to my work feeling like a man made all over again. This was all last August and from then until now I have been in absolutely perfect health, eating fine, sleeping fine and working every day. My nerves are steady and my head is clear all the time, in fact, I am never troubled in any way whatever. I don't want a better medicine than Tanlac and I give It entire credit for my fine health today. V is M?- TABLETS - AR I f T.
