grip of the most extensive influenza
epidemic yet experienced here. There
were about 70 cases of the malady in
the town and a number of others in
the outlying districts. 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.
This is the second influenza epi
demic Falls City has suffered this
winter, three deaths having resulted
from the first one which occurred
about six weeks ago.

20-ACRE TRACT DESIRED
TTIE MORNING OITEGONIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL, 1, 1020
PLAYGROUND PLANS
ARGUED IN COUNCIL
Old
King
i
Proposed Purchase of Seven-Acre
Plot Strongly Opposed by Dele
gation of Property Owners.
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."

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. The
animal had apparently been captured
by a whaling ship, robbed of its
perm oil and the carcass turned
loose.
The whale was discovered about
400 yards south of the J. R. 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.
It is estimated that the present force
will have an all-summer job. In the
meantime the odor is becoming more
violent and the Smith family is on
the eve of an extended vacation.

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.
