TYPHOID
. AT ELKTON
The
Little Town on The Drain
Stage Line Has a Serious
Epidemic.
STATE BOARD THERE
An Investigation of the Trouble
Made and Rlnmc Is Itc-
liig Placed.
Elkton, the little town In Douglas
county, Is having an epidemic bf ty
phoid. It Is the first stopping place
out of Drain on the stage line, and
usually the passengers on the stages
eat dinner there.
The Portland Journal contained
the following regarding the epi
demic:
"An epidemic of typhoid fever is
raging in the little town of Elkton,
Oregon, in Dougles county. A recent
Investigation made hy Health Officer
A. C. Seeley of Roseburg reveals con
ditions much more serious than did
the first accounts. The trip had to
lie made by Dr. Seeley on horseback
through the mountains 50 miles from
Roseburg to Elkton. When he ar
rived he found one person dead and
(our down with the fever, while
three had already had it and had re
covered. Samples of water taken from the
wells In Elkton were found to be con
taminated. The sanitary conditions
of the town were found to bo very
bad, and there was no sewerage at
all. At very little expense the health
officer said the sewerage could be
made efficient.
Dr. Stamm, who had been sent to
the vicinity by the construction com
pany that is building the Coos Bay
railroad, Is blamed by the state
board of health for the conditions in
Elkton, and Is liable to prosecution
for failing to report the cases to the.
stfite board at once. It is the opinion
of the state board that the local
physicians wero very careless, and an
investigation will be made.
"Dr. Seeley thinks that the epi
demic came with the railroad camps.
, However, he holds the Gardiner stage
stables at Elkton most responsible.
The stage stables owned by Gardiner
Mills are a disgrace to its owners and
a menace to the community,' are the
words regarding this feature that Dr.
Seeley uses. Dr. Seeley requested
immediate Improvement.
"Dr. R. C. Yenney, secretaary of
the state board of health,' says that
the state board will also take up the
matter with the Gardiner mills and
the physicians at Elkton."

cllltles, ordered a chicken insubator
Immediately provided and that the
child be placed In it at once, and the
temperature be kept at blood heat.
With careful watching and attention
the child has continued to live; it Is
kept wrapped In the finest and softest
of batting.
Although the child was premature
ly born, four months before its time,
It now gives every promise of living.
It Is not longer than a foot rule, and
Is just ablo. to make a noise when It
cries. Its little hands clinched are
not larger than ordinary marbles.
Its breathing is perceptible and
regular. The high temperature that
Is maintained causes the little thing
to perspire freely. The father and
mother of the child are living on a
farm about three miles from Elma.
The babe is their first born and is a
girl.

Iron horse to cross over to South
Drain once more. The recent high
water greatly delayed the work of
rebuilding this bridge, which was
washed away by tho unprecedented
high water in January.
"It is expected that the work will
be resumed on this new road within
a few days, just as soon as Chief En
gineer A. J. Barklay returns from
San Francisco, where he has gone
to make arrangements for the early
resumption of work on this road.
"Mr. Prosole Informs us that there
are 34 carloads of bridge material
en route to Drain from the American
Bridge company's factories at Toledo,
Ohio, for use on the new road."
IS DOING WELL.
