It Is necessary to have a State Health Board." raid Dr. S. E. Joseph!, yestet day, when asked about the condition of the Woodland community. "We worked hard to have a bill passed last year that would create a State Health Board, and If It had passed we would now be In a position to guard against Invasion of any disease from other communities. "The health officers will take the mat ter of quirantlnlng. the country of the Upper Lewis River In hand Immediately. Dr. Zan, tho City Physician, visited all of the steamboat companies yesterday, and in nearly every case found them ready to take prompt action. "I think that we can arrange for a quarantine," said he. "without having to force the matter. The companies seem to have tho welfare of the city at heart and are ap parently willing to boycott the place." Health Officer Blersdorf wrote to health officers of tho State of Washington, and asked that they declare a -quarantine 'Wo can refuse to let people come from there to Portland." said he. "but they can go to some other place, and then come here, and there Is nothing to stop them." Among all of the doctors seen yesterday the opinion prevailed that the Washing ton Health Board was very negligent In that the matter had not been taken up before. Among tho steamboat companies a gen eral willingness was manifested to do what Is for tho best Interest of the city, but there was manifest Ignorance of the real condition as It exists at Woodland. "Wo know there has been smallpox there." said they, "but we have not trans ported cases to Portland. It Is dying out there." While they may not have brought any cases &o plainly marked as to be recognized by boat hands, facts are at hand to show that cases have been Im ported, and citizens of Woodland say that members of that community have come to Portland to get free treatment when they knew that they had smallpox. Again, It takes but a visit to Woodland to prove that there are a large number of cases of smallpox there at this time. In fact, tho disease Is still raging there, and no effort Is being made to check It. The 4rbrit-caec that they hava had. and -still tho father attends to hla buslncsF and takes no precaution against Infecting his neighbors. According to physicians of Portland tfiere Is great danger of people who come from that section Deing in fected and carrying the disease, even n thev do not hive it themselves. "We should demand 'that the boat companies roluse, to bring any one irom mat com Trmnitv nnd If thev refuse, we should quarantine every boat 'that has been there, was tho statement of a number of leading physicians yesterday. "We hae tho nower to hold the- boats in Quar antine for 14 days," said they, "and they would soon grow urea or running in tnere every 14 days." 1 Bont Companies Will Aid. T5n.rlv vnsterdav momlntr Dr. Zan com. mphrrd n. tnnr of the various comnanles that bring passengers fsom the Woodland district. Ho first visited the O. R. & N. Co. Superintendent Conway said that he was willing to do all that he could to protect the city, and that he would quar antine nnv nlace the henlth officers risked. "Our boats do not bring any passengers from there, however," said he, "and we pan do nothing." Those who live at Woodland say, however, that the steamer Hassalo stops at Caples Landing and that a great many go there to take the boat. The henlth officers nro confident that the C. R. & N Co. will refuse to stop at uapies L.anuing as soon as mey are torn that it is one or the places rrom which come the Infected neonle. The other boat companies all manifested a willingness, but claimed that the dan ger is not as great as surmised. The condition nt. "Woodland however jhoir for itself, and Dr. Zan states that he will insist upon tho quarantine. He expects to' get a definite answer from tho com panies today. Threaten Whole Country Health Officer Blersdorf. when seen. said: "The condition at Woodland is such as to threaten the welfare of the wholo surrounding country, and It Is a reflection upon tho State of . Washington that such a state of affairs should beeper mltted there. I shall take the matter up with them- and sec If something cannot be dono toward having the place boy cotted. When asked what should be done by the City of Portland toward averting the danger he said: We should refuse to let any one from that community come to the city. Of course they can go to any other place and como here, but tho danger would be less ened. They are In the State of Wash lngton, and we have no power over them other than that we can refuse to let them como here. I believe that If the health officers of Washington are notified they will quarantine the place. If they do It will not take long for them to stamp the disease out among them. "I am confident that a large amount of our smallpox has come directly from there and that wo should take any step necessary to guard against further trou blc." Dr. Blersdorf Is also a strong xdvocate of tho plan to have a State Health Board and said: "In order to make the quaran tines against such places thoroughly ef. fectlve, we must have a State Health Board to take the matter in hand. Wo have sees the condition at Woodland, but wo do not know but that there may be 'other places that have not come to our notice, and that are quite as bad as this one. A Stato Health Board would be able to keep up a continual Inspection, and such cases would be at once taken In hand. Adopt Stringent Measures, ; Dr. Wheeler, ex-City Physician, and professor of hygiene at the medical de partment of .the Stato University, said "Smallpox Is a very, easy dlseaee to stamp out if the proper means are used.. It is impossible for us to check It here. If it Is being constantly carried Into the city from tho outside. The only thing that we can do Is to adopt stringent measures The health authorities will have to be firm and demand that the place .be quar antlnod. They have tho authority. If they only choose to use it They can demand that any boat that runs in there be quar antined for 14 days, and if they will use that power a few times the boat com panies will soon be ready to conform to their requests. There could not be a bet ter Illustration of the necessity of a State Health Board. I have been trying to get a bill through for the past 10 years, but have always failed. Tho matter will be taken up again this year. If we had a Stato Health Board, and able men at the head of It. we could effectually quaran tine tho state against such communities as .that and could also demand that Wash ington quarantine the place. "Washington has a Stato Health Board," suggested the reporter, "and there Is no place in Oregon that is so neglected as Woodland, Wash." "That reflects discredit upon the men who aro at tho head of the State Health Board there, and not upon the plan, of having a board. They have all authority necessary to place a strict quarantine upon the place. We want a State Health Board and wo want able men at the head of It." Xeed of Proper Authority. Dr. S. B.

(Special.) "Which candidate for the United States MISS VIVIAN MAY SARTORIS GRANDDAUGHTER. OF GENERATE. GRANT WEDS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. COUSIN OF COBURG, Out, Aug-. 23. The marriage of Vivian May Sartorls and Fred erick Roosevelt Scorel was solemnized at St. Peter's Church here today In tho presence of a distinguished assemblage of guests. Including representatives from nearly every state In tho American Union. Rev. Mr. Spragg officiated. Tho bride Is the daughter of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartorls and Algernon Chartls Fred erick Sartorls, of Warset, Hampshire. Kngland. and a granddaughter of tho late General U. S. Grant. The groom Is the son of Chevalier and Madame Ed ward Scove!, and Is a cousin of President Roosevelt. The church was beautifully decorated with arches of orango blossoms and banks of palms and lilies. James M. Dickinson, of Philadelphia, played the wedding march. Miss Sartorls wore a gown of raro lace, with a veil of whlto tulle. She carried Bride roses. Her sister. Miss Rosemond Sartorls. who at tended her sister as maid of honor, was attired In a gown of white organdlo, with trimmings of rare laco and Insertion. Her flowers were pink roses.

They will reside In Washington during tho Winter. the Legislature, says that cases occur continually thnt lllustnte the necessity of a State Health Board, but that this Is a marked example. "If wo 'could have got tho bill through last year,' said he, "wo should now bo In a position to quar antine this plico so that no Infection could bo brought to Portland." , 'But wo have not a State Board," said tho reporter, "and we aro seriously threat ened by the negligence of the State of Washington. What had the city ought to dor' "Wo cannot da so much as we could; still there aro many things that we can do. Wo cm have Inspectors at every train and boat, and see that no one comes In that has fno disease, and we can de clare a q'uanntlno against the place. If tho boat companies refuse to comply wo can quarantine them, and vaccinate every one on the boat, or everyone who has been there and Is exposed. A mere dis infection of places whero they have been will not do. We must insist that every ono that has been expesed shall be vaccinated." MAY BE A CARDINAL. Recommendnton to Vatican in FaT of Archbinuop Ireland. NEW TORK. Aug. 23. The statement Is cabled to the Tribune from Rome that the recommendations to the Vatican to have Archbishop Ireland nominated as a cardinal have now assumed Imposing pro portions, as setting forth that the red hat would be a duo reward for the success of tho papacy obtained through' him by the Tnft mission coming to Rome. - The state ment Is further made that some of Arch bishop Ireland's friends arc so influential that the Vatican would like to satisfy them, notwithstanding the reluctance to give America more than one cardinal. The" plan of having Archbishop Ireland a cardinal of the Curia, residing at Rome, Is opposed by the other cardinals of the Curia, who And him too clever, too pro gressive aftd too American. A prdject that is whispered, continues the correspondent. Is that Bishop Qulgley, of Buffalo, having refused the archbish opric of Chicago, Archbishop Ireland be appointed there as a fit field for his. activ ities, and, being created a cnrdlnoi would have the West under his jurisdic tion, while Cardinal Gibbons would have the East.

Reynolds, a brakeman, fatally injured. Senate will secure the backing of the rail ways, and will the popular sentiment In favor of a railway commission be strong enough to land the nomination of Harold Preston, despite the backing of the rail ways for their candidate?" Is the mooted question among Republican politicians ot Eastern Washington at present. As county after county holds Its convention and a part of them declare In favor of a railway commission along the lines sug gested by Governor McBrlde, It becomes apparent that the sentiment of the State Is at least In considerable measure for a railway commission; but the strength of the railway opposition to such a scheme cannot be accurately estimated. Levi Ankeny. the Walla Walln banker. has been the reputed candidate of the railway Interests ever since the deal made at Olympla two years ago. when he delivered the votes necessary to kill the railway commission bill then pending. At though the deal was made with the O. R & N. and the Northern Pacific, it was generally understood that the Great Northern would not stand in the way of promises made by other roads, and since the railways have come into closer rela tlons in the Northwest many Republicans believe Ankeny will be supported as well by the Great Northern. But John L. Wilson, of Spokane, owner of the Seattle I Post-Intelligencer, is doing hla utmost to hold the backing of Jim Hill, and WH son's friends assert that he Is to be Hill candidate, first, last and always. Hill Is recognized as the man in practical con trol of all state railway Interests, and If he makes John I, his candidate, there will be a hot fight until the roads deter mine which man is the better to be drop peu. fcupporters of AnKeny rely upon the opposition of the general public to ward sending a man to the Senate who is boomed by his own newspaper alone, and who has been a thorn In the side of the party for so many yeara. Wilson's un popularity In the rank- and file of thc- party Is unquestioned, but his long hand ling of Federal patronage has given him a powerful machine. Despite the fact. that the machine has received some hard knocks.. It is still doing herculean work for Its leader, and many of Its member hang on and work In the hope of reward, knowing that Wilson's unpopularity will preclude them from a chance at the pub lie crib unless he continues in control. uovernor jioonac nas irequentiy ex pressed himself as more than satisfied with the support given Preston, the au thor of the rallwav commission bill. Pres ton Is spending considerable time In trav vellng, building his fences and making himself generally well known. He seems confident of success, and, with McBride, relies on the popular sentiment in favor of a commission to elect legislators who will give him the coveted position next Winter. Since Representative Cushman has coma out flat-footed in favor of a commission. a new element of uncertainty has been Injected Into the Congressional race. Pre vious to Cushman's announcement and his daring seizure of the Pierce county convention. In which he won out for an Instructed delegation in favor of a com mission, he had not been regarded as so formidable a candidate among tho lead ers, although his work for State appro priations had made him solid with the public. It had been announced that tha McBrlde-Preston faction would favor Representative Jones, of North Yakima; Will Humphrey, of Seattle, and either F. H. Brownell. of Everett, or A. J. Falk- nor, of Olympla. The Tacoma candidate, was slated to net a hump. But einco hla declaration for a commission and the showing of strength he made at the Ta coma convention, the slate has presuma bly been rearranged and one of the un tried candidates must bo dropped. King County men say Humphrey Is too strong to be counted out. but If Preston is to be the Senatorial candidate, it seems logical that one man from King County on the delegation will be enough. Such is the view on this side of tho mountains, and speculation is rife as to whther the Mc Bride Preston combination will then in elude Brownell or Falknor. There la much opposition to Falknor, and but lit tie to Brownell. as the Northwest has never been recognized, while Falknor has been rewarded by tho permanent location of the capital at Olympla, a boon which was generally supposed to pay oft all party obligations to tho Thurston county- man. Effect of Railway Conference. Now that tho excitement over the con fcrenco of farmers and railway magnates over tho reduction In grain rates has somewhat subsided, advocates of the commission say this action will have lit tle or no effect on the commission scheme, That the reduction is a Gqdsend to, the Eastern Washington farmer is unques tioned, but the cut was, they think, not deeo enough to have a lasting effect. Be sides, thev declare It Is too well known now that the railway Interests caused the conferences to be called, the mag nates believing that a reduction, effective at once, would end the complaints of the farmers and would remove the agitation in favor of a commission. Meanwhile, tho Democracy la doing ev erything- to foster Senator Turner's can dldacv. and advantage Is taken of the mixed Republican situation. The democ racv nresent3 a solid front for Turner, and la not hampered by numerous candi dates. Turner has always, favored a. rail way commission, and his friends allege that many Republicans will vote the Democratic legislative ticket rather than take any chance by voting for Republi cans who might favor Preston at first. and afterward bo traded to Wilson and Ankeny, thereby defeating the paramount State Issue a railway commission. The argument Is borne out by the rec ords of two years ago, when East Side voters sent several Democrats to the Legislature, while valiantly supporting Cushman and Jones, Republican candi dates for Congress, besides tho remainder of a State ticket, with the exception of Governor Rogers, who was returned to tho chair because of his good record anu the opposition to Frink Wilson's candi date and a friend of tho railways. Some Republicans May Bolt. That mam Republicans wilt vote the Democratic legislative ticket, especially in Spokane and Stevens Counties, Is cer tain. Spokane Republicans are aisgusiea with John I Wilson's methods, and are not particularly pleased with the Idea of supporting a King County man. vernier i Ankenv anv too popular here, although h is not hated as cordially as is vu- son. Confronted with these -three candl rlntps. many men will turn to Turner. Stevens County suffers most or any from exorbitant railway charges, and Is expected to go uoauuuui. sneclallv for the legislative ticket. Stov- ens County Republicans, who are about to hold a convention, will probamy o dominated by some ot tho old Wilson machine, but the bosses up there are not vet to be counted In the fold of the Post-Intelllgencer proprietor, for they will wait to see In which field the grass Is sweetest and thickest. Wilson has done little for Stevens County In the past. nnd what he could promise for the fu ture, with the Hill road (the Spokane Falls & Northern) having a monopoly or th (ftrrvin$r trade in that section. Is dif ficult to Imagine. Ferry County Republl- rnns have adopted a plank which 13 flat tering to the railroads. For two years Renubllc has been laboring to get rail communication with the outside world. It has accomplished its purpose, anu me Republicans of the County have not yet gone Into the matter of freights and fares, being too thankful that they are not obliged to patronize the stage coach and slxtecn-mule freight wagon. But the convention just held showed an under current In favor of Levi Ankeny. which Is rather surprising, since Wilson's friends have been prominent In previous Ferrv Countv Republican conferences. The course of Colonel William Rldpath, whose Congressional aspirations were frosted In the recent Spokane Republican1 convention, has not yet been made ap parent, but Colonel Rldpath may throw himself Into the campaign In a way that will surprise the dominant faction in this county. He Is a good hater, and has plenty of money. Politics Ruined Him. SPRINGFIELD. Mo.. Aug. 23. Clarence A. Plank, Police Judge, of Spitngfleld.

HP0RTANT POINTS REACHED Observations ot General Greely bm Hla Trip to the Territory Peo ple Strenuously Object to the Tnx Laws. OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, D. C, Aug. 23. "Before the pres ent year has ended. Alaska will be con nected with the United States by wire, and before the expiration of two weeks, many hundred miles of telegraphic com munications will have been established between the remote towns of that terri tory and tho Coast cities," says General j has just returned from Alaska. "The telegraphic system will, for tho first time, make It possible for lntercomxnunl- tween those portions of tho territory where previously correspondence could j bo had only by mall, and where letters I and answera could not ho exchanged J more than two or threo times during tha year. "It Is anticipated that within tho next ' week or two Valdez will be in telegraphic communication with the outside world. This lino runs from Dawson through Eg bert as a military wire, and Is about 450 miles long. There is now in operation In tho territory about SCO miles of wire in tho Central and Lower Yukon Vqlleys. This will ho connected with, the Valdez system, which will bring tho lower Yu kon, St. Michaels and Nome within daily reach of the rest of the world." , People Object to Tax Laws. General Greely says there Is a strong , feeling In the territory against the pre vailing tax laws, which, turn the money into tho United States Treasury, j&aska Is the only place In the United States where the National Government requires t even a bootblack to pay a tax for con ducting business. Tho general demand Is that moneys arising from taxes shall be applied largely to the education of the children of the white population ot Alaska. Continuing. General Greely said: I believe that the great need of Alaska Is legislation regarding lands, timber and possibly the fishing Industry. Strange as it may seem, there is no way in which even a discharged soldier may obtain ti tle to a homestead-ln-Alaska; It is true that tho homestead laws ot the United States apply to that Territory, but Inso much that such laws have no effect ex cept on what are known as certified ' lands, they are practically of no effect. , because there are no certified lands ot any worth, from a homestead point ot! view. I believe Alaska Is a country only for rich men. While the gold deposits aro , exceedingly rich, they require great capl-" f tal to develop and work them. This working can be done only by the meet" Improved machinery. Of course, there j are parts of Alaska which are barren and unprofitable, but in this enormous J melon there aro areas ot the size o many of our smaller states which, in the j not distant future, will be largely In habited. ' CLAIMS OF THE WEST. Next Session ot TrnnnOIIssIjialppI Congress Will Be Important One. rmrAon An?. 23. Judtro C. J.

"The congress from this time forth will take a still more active part In pushing the claims of the West for governmental action, and putting before the public tha advantages and resources of that vastf region. "One of the most important matters dis cussed and passed upon favorably by the congress was the recommendation to the National Congress looking to the opening up of a waterway connecting the Great. Lakes with the Gulf: the Improvement of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, so that this can be accomplished. The bene fit to" the Mississippi Valley and tha Middle West of this project Is beyond compute. The drainage canal Is the in itiative link lrt this connective chain, and to Chicago is due the credit of demon strating that the undertaking is not only possible, but probable."
