Another phase of the work Is that of sanitation, under charge of Dr. C. J. Smith of Pendleton, who has taken hold vigorously today; pr. Smith fear an other Chlckamauga imp, therefore he Is working energetically for the State Board of Health to obviate the breaking - out of disease. He has thoroughly sur ( veyeU the Meld- and Is arranging for pompe.ter.f help, having local physicians to assist In directing the burning of the refuse, cleaning out of buildings and emptying cellars which are filled with water, and debris. He will soon have the. main streets sprinkled to keep down ", the dust laden with germs of disease. ' ' The matter of supplies again becomes '-pressing today. The commissary, un ; iler charge of J.

'actually suffering for . food, but have ' kept up as long as possible from mak ing their necessities known. All are promptly furnished with goods, but will ,; need more supplies from this time on than before. It has been thought best ,..-'' to arrange so that needy people hereafter " can order the exact supplies wanted. In "etead of having Jhem sent Indlscrlml- "" nately from various points.

ASTORIA, June 19. A rumor has been current here this morning to the erect that the Northwest Construction'! Company will be unable to fulfill its contract with the government for fur nishing rock for the Columbia .River Jetty. Whether or not there Is any foundation for the report cannot jet be verified, as the officials of the company are very jetlcent. The sfSfy goes that there are two great drawbacks which cannot be over come by the contracting company. One is that the rock obtainable at the Bughy quarry la too soft for the purpose re quired, and. the second is that it cannot possibly be secured in nuantities great enough to keep the force at the Jetty in steady employment. In all, more than 600,000 tons of rock were contracted for by the government. and the quarry at Bugby was thought to be extensive enough to meet require ments. The daily needs of the govern- . ment are verv heavy, but it Is reDortedV that operations cannot be successfully conducted. Jf Along with the story ;here relaC'd cornea a .rumor. ta Uxe.snectJlujttlia. company will. take steps to annul the contract, and that the, iw,prk of getting out rock at Bugby will shortly be dis continued. ' ' ' - When former Jetties were built stone was brought from a point near Van couver, Wash., on barges. Delay at this time will, prove extremely disap pointing to the shipping Interests of the river.
