Tho dlscaso was not in an advancod stngo but had reached tho point whoro It will rnpldly dovolop. Trichinosis Is ono of tho diseases that has b a filed medical science, no euro or relief having ovor boon dis covered for it. The dlseaso is not contagious and is contracted from pork, generally from eating smokod ham or bacon wuicn nas not uoen cooked sufficiently to kill the tri china. It is much rarer on tho coast than In tho mlddlo west. Owing to tho local case being af flicted with an lncurablo dlsoaso, the trichinosis will probably only hasten death instead of gradually bringing It about as It usually does whoro othor complications aro not ovldent. afloat In locnl circles today.

Peck, nttornoy for tho Port ot Coos Bay Commission who return ed yostorday.from a trip to San Frnn. Cisco, today made tho following state ment rolatlvo to tho decision of tho Supromo court: Tho doclslon ot tho Pou enso was not unoxpoctod but I had hoped that tbo Court would adhere, to tho "rea sonable probability" rulo laid down In tho caso of Roosch v. Henry, 54 Oro. 230, whoro a similar question was Involved. In that caso the Court said: "Whoro It apponrs, us In Guern sey v. McIInloy, 62 Oro. 555, that the Irregularities (falluro to post notle- , os) nro of such a character and mag nitude that thoy might havo affected tho outcomo, tho oloctlon ought to bo sot asldo, HUT IF NO SUCH RESULT IH REASONABLY PROIIAIILE, THE ; ELECTION OUGHT NOT TO I1H DISTURBED." Judge Coko, In our Port caso fol lowed that rule ns he was bound to do, for tho evidenco clearly shows that thoro Is no reasonable probab ility that tho outcomo of tho election would havo been difforont, It each and every notice had beon postod. nut tho Supremo Court In Its docl slon doparted from their formor ru. Ing, as I construo tho abovo quoted language, and laid down tho rulo that a "reasonable improbability" of a chango In result was Insufficient, but that an "Imposslbllty" of a change In result must be shown. Tho Court in the Port decision Bays: "When .... it CONCLUSIVE LY APPEARS THAT NO DIFFER ENT RESULT COULD 1LVVE 11EEN POSSIBLE In tho ontlro district af fected by tho majority voto, tho fall uro strictly to comply with tho re quirements of tho statuo in respect to giving notice will not Invalidate tho election." Tho only way by which wo could havo brought tho Port caso within the abovo rulo was to specifically show tho doparturo permanently from tbo district of nt louBt four hun I dred registered voters, nnd show ox 1 nctly whon ench loft, whether boforo or aftor April 19, 1909. This wo started out to do but found It was Impossible nftor ovor two yoars to get evidenco ns to whother a voter , was absent pormanontly or tempor 1 nrlly at tho tlmo of tho Port election I and whether he hud loft boforo or nf 'tor tho dny of election.
