TIIE MOItXiyg OIIEGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, ypTE3rrER 1, 1023 V 21 : 1ATS HELD MENAGE TO UFE-JUn GOODS Health Show Exhibits Point Out Danger From Rodents. CROWDS ARE INTERESTED Spread of Bubonic Plague and Destruction of Property Laid to Animals. A visit to the health exposition at the city auditorium throws a new light on the damage to health and property caused annually by rats, Pictorial exhibits showing the many terrible diseases that are spread by rodents and the immense damage they do every year in the United States are of the most inter esting nature and are drawing thou eands to visit them. "The rat's destructivenees," reads a brochure being distributed from one of the booths, "is not confined to crops and property; it menaces human life as well. This rodent is responsible for more deaths among human beings than all the wars of hustory. India Is Ravaged. "Since 1896 plague has carried away 9,000,000 of the population of India alone. Through the fleas that infest them rats are almost wholly responsible for the transmission and perpetuation of bubonic plague." Kats destroy J200.O00.00O of prop erty in the United States annually, according to another illustrated ex hibit. Civilization and science have by no means spoken their last word about the means of combating this greatest plague of the human race, declares a pamphlet being dissem inated by the United States biologi cal survey. "A building can be made rat-proof," feads this pam phlet,! "why not a farmstead, a street, a city, a village or a sea port? If rats cannot be exterminated they at least can be repressed in this country and at the same time effective barriers can be raised against the landing of fresh hordes. Up to the present, however, few efforts have been made to find out the way or even to apply properly the means already at command. It is high time to begin." Moving Pictures Shown. As part of the concluding day's programme of the health exposition, W. L. Finley's moving pictures ot Boy Scout activities at Camp Chini dere, the Scouts' summer training ground at Wahtum lake, will be shown Saturday afternoon. These will reflect the health-giving quali ties of the outdoors and generally depict some of the things which are being done to give Scouts strong minds and healthy bodies.

Oregon Petroleum Company Has Decided to Continue Work in Hope of Gusher. ALBANY, Or., Oct. 31. (Special.) -Drilling for oil in the Lacomb district, east of Albany, will be re sumed immediately, according to C. A. Hindes of this city, who was elected president and manager of the Oregon Petroleum company, holders of the leases, at a direc tors' meeting Saturday night. During previous operations a well was drilled 890 feet when artesian water and lack of finances inter rupted. According to the announce ment made today, work on this well now will be resumed, first finishing 212 feet for a larger casing. The drill now rests on blue shale and it is the belief of Uie promoters that by placing a caking in this rock the water can be controlled. Black oil was struck at the 152 foot level during the early drilling and immediately afterwards the drill passed through 242 feet of rock which San Francisco analysis shows to be of high-grade paraffin oil base. The heavy pressure of water prevents the flow of this oil and it is believed another well will be necessary. Before starting a new well, however, an effort will be made to locate a reservoir of free oil and thus open up a gusher. The board of directors consists of G. A. Hindes, J. S. Myers of Lebanon, A. I. Crandall of Lebanon, N. M. Newport of Lebanon, L. Gray, H. C. Pyle, Marion Downing, Frank Tur nidge and L. M. Smith. Misrepresentation Is Claimed. ROSE BURG, Or.. Oct. 31.
