All other public cattle pens within the state, including those at East St. Louis, are to receive a clean bill of health as soon as they are disinfected and pronounced free of infection. Every confidence that the disease is well under control here was expressed after it was found that only a few more suspected cattle have de veloped cases. The new cases were among prize cattle recently exhibited at the Na tional Dairy Show here. About 30 out of 800 prize bulls and cows were con demned, but were not killed.

They did not consider his threats as serious. Seretto had displayed to them an old weapon he had brought from Italy and owing to the fact that he was accustomed to drink heavily they paid little attention to his threats. It had been Seretto's custom to call at the Farengo residence in his spare time. He made known his Intent and the girl, .refusing to consent to marry him. he pulled the revolver from his pocket, placed the muzzle behind her ear and pulled the trigger. She ex pired Immediately.

BOISE. Idaho, Nov. 7. (Special.) The climax to the hydro-electric power war which has waged In Southern Iadho for years before four great power corporations whose capitallza tion runs into several millions, was reached here today when the Public Utilities Commission denied the Beaver River Power Company the right to enter the Pocatello electrical field to supply, consumers, and the the Idaho Power & Light Company to enter the Twin Falls, Shoshone, Buhl, Gooding and Wendell fields. The Commission also barred the Clear Lake Power & Improvement Company from the Twin Falls field. The Great Shoshone and Twin Falls Land & Water Company is In control of the Twin Falls. Wendell and Sho shone fields and by the ruling holds exclusive control. The Southern Idaho Power Company Is in control of the Pocatello field. The Commission holds that to permit rival competition in the big Southern Idaho territory when other companies are now in control of it with their rates lowered and reg ulated by the Commission would be ruinous and against the intent of the law.

TO THE VOTERS OF OREGON: "When I began my single-handed campaign against the Dental Trust for dental reform in Oregon last July, many well-informed men and women told me I was right, but that I was fighting such a powerful combine that the Dentistry Bill would be defeated by a yote of 5 to 1. More votes were cast on this bill than on any of the 29 measures on the ballot, excepting on prohibition. This large vote shows, the tremendous popular interest in this subject. The small majority by which the bill was defeated shows the widespread protest the people feel against the present dental laws made by the Dental Trust. Complete returns from Multnomah County show there were 64,659 votes votes cast on the Dentistry Bill ; 73,543 for the three candidates for Governor and 72,790 on the prohibition question. The Dentistry Bill was defeated in Multnomah County by only 1581 votes. If one man can arouse the voters to such an extent in four months, certainly enough more can be reached to insure dental reform in this state at the election two years from now. Many years ago I enlisted in this cause for the war not for one battle. Popular education means the ultimate overthrow of the Dental Trust as it does every other trust existing by special legislation. The chief reliance of the Dental Trust is in keeping the people in ignorance of everything about dentistry. I advocate popular education on the subject, and that is why I oppose dental ethics which prevent educational advertising. For a quarter of a century ethical dentists have prevented education of the masses and been engaged in secretly building up a network of special legislation for dentists. Yet, at the very first election submitting the subject to a vote of the people, the Trust only wins by a few thousand votes in all Oregon. If I had had a month's more time the Trust would have been snowed under. Men and women of Oregon now know something about dentistry conditions here. Before I began this campaign of education, scarcely anyone outside of a few dentists had ever read the dental laws, or knew anything about how and why they had been passed by the Legislature. , The Trust will probably ask the next Legislature to pass some more laws for its special benefit under the plea that they are for the protection of the "dear people." I suspect it will be a law requiring the State Dental Examining Board to keep on file for public inspection all examination papers of applicants for licenses. Such a law might help some dentist secure his rights, but it would give the people no relief from the Trust. - What the people of Oregon want is relief from high prices and poor den tistry. As long as the State Examining Board retains its present arbitrary power, the Trust can plunder the public. The only way this board will ever be deprived of this arbi trary power is by the people at the ballot box. During the next two years the Trust will continue to extort high prices as in the past, but I serve notice on this combine here and now, that I shall go down to Salem this "Winter and ask for the passage of two laws in the interest of the public health and morals, as follows: 1. That it shall be unlawful for any dentist to use cocaine or arsenic, or any solution containing either or both of these poisons, in the practice of dentistry in this state. This law will stop the Dental Trust from poisoning the people, and leaving in many patients a craving for cocaine. - 2. That a competent dental nurse shall be present as attendant at all times in every operating room during each dental operation. Under this law no woman will be compelled to be alone in a room with a dentist dur ing operations, as is often the case now because the Dental Trust will not pay a living wage to nurses. The people of this state have voted by a large ma jority to stop alcoholic poisoning. "Why should the Dental Trust be permitted to poison the people with cocaine and arsenic? Drug habits are a great and growing evil in America. It is time something was done on this line in Oregon. In New York State it is a violation of law for a dentist to have cocaine in his possession. The Dental Trust charged me with initiating the Dentistry Bill because of a personal grievance. Certainly it will not say my proposal to abolish the use of cocaine and arsenic is for personal reasons. To the thousands of men and women in Oregon who so loyally supported the cause of dental reform during the campaign, I desire to extend my sincere thanks, and promise my continued efforts in the future for medical and dental freedom. :oic Sixth and Washington Sts., Portland, Or.

POSITION HELD FOR MANN High Regard for ex-Spaker Is Xot Abated, but Friends Are In clined to Wish He Had Xot Re-entered Politics. OREGrONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash., lngton, Nov. 7. Uncle Joe Cannon, who will return to the House of Repre sentatives on March 4. after an ab sence of two years, will not again at tain that prominence which was his at the time of his retirement to pri vate life in 1912. He will not be the Republican nominee for Speaker when the next House organizes, and he will not be the Republican leader during the next two years. He will, however, be a conspicnous figure on the Republican side, as he will be a conspicnous figure wherever he goes, from now until he dies. As for leadership, his day has passed. Personal Esteem T-'nabated. Indeed, there are Republicans, not a few of them, who down in their hearts wish that Uncle Joe had not run for election this Fall. They have a feeling, not at all personal, that It would have been better, politically. If he had allowed his public career to end where he surrendered the Speak er's gavel two years ago. Personally, "Uncle Joe" Is held in high regard by members of his own and of the oppos ing party, but politically, most Repub licans feel that he must remain la the ranks and not again attempt leader ship. The re-election of Cannon and McKin ley in Illinois, and the re-election of Penrose in Pennsylvania, while grati fying in a way to Republican leaders, at the same time causes some unrest, for it has already given the Democrats foundation for their cry that the Re publican party is returning to the lead ership of the old stand-pat crowd that held sway not many years ago when the party fell into disrepute with the voters.- Mann to Continue as LeaUler. Because of the widespread apprehen sion, it is to be assumed that "Uncle Joe" Cannon will not be put forward by the Republicans of the next House as their candidate for Speaker, nor will his lieutenant, McKinley, manager of the last Taft campaign, be named to lead the minority. Rather Mr. Mann will continue the active leadership of the Republicans, and Mr. Cannon and Mr. McKinley, remnants of the old guard, will march along in the ranks. They will be conspicuous, of course, but they will be mere privates, for all that. BRIDE OF TWO DAYS DIES Girl Married in Centralia Wednes day Succumbs in Portland. CENTRALIA, Wash., Nov. 7.
