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. A Boy
Scout booth, with exhibits tending
to point the road to health, Jias
been an attractive daily feature of
the exposition.

LACOMBE DISTRICT OIL WELL
will be sunk lower.
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.

H The Pacific International is the crowning event of the year. We hardly realize yet how
S great it ranks with any livestock show in the world today. I
This year carloads of the finest dairy cattle in the country
have come to Portland to vie for judging honors with our
Pacific Slope dairy cattle.
The representatives of the. hog world are in North Portland
now, being washed and scrubbed for the battle in the ring
for honors. A bigger show than last year and then it
was immense.
Watch the boys and girls of
clubs, high schools and col
leges judge livestock in com
petition. The most brilliant and spec
tacular Horse Show ever held
at North Portland, and that's
saying a lot. Six nights and
three matinees. Draft horses
will be there and take part.
The choice of a hundred herds of show-winning beef cattle
are here to compete for blue ribbons before the most com
petent judges in America. Two world's champions.
Entries have been made in twelve breeds of
important to the world's economy. A great show
and milk goats.
Auction sales where the bid
ding will be high and the
excitement great.
