"The adulteration of food product Js so alarming and glaringly practical that the health of the people is con-. ' stantly jeopardised therefrom," says the report. "This nefarious practice can r, only be properly dealt with by a, rigid Inspection of all foods. I am confident that there would be a material reduc tion In the death rate, especially among Infants, if the ordinance were adopted. ' "An ordinance for . the inspection of milk and meat was drafted by the board of health, and Is still in the hands of the committee.

Children, having been ex posed, should be-immunlsed with, pre ventive doses." Scarlet 3Ferer leas Prevalent. '.. Scarlet fevor was mostly of a mild type, there being six fatal cases' out of a total of 222. The report states that mild forms bf this disease are the most diffi cult for the health officials to manage, partly owing to the "ease with whlh unscrupulous parents and guardians, and careless physicians, may conceal : the THHl'B Willi VXpU9Uia Ul - MS"V bohs has taken place." , 1 ' ' Typhoid and Smallpox. , ' There were 27 deaths out of 98 cases . of typhoid fever reported "Bad sanitary environments are usu ally responsible for this disease,- Many eastern cities have been reporting alarm ing epidemics. - , f ' "Smallpox exists today In all the large cities "throughout the ' united States, and in Shostly all the small towns In Oregon," says the report. "It is therefore : Impossible 'that we should keep entirely free from the disease. The majority of cases. were mild, and only two deaths from 170 cases. This small mortality la certainly a commendation for the efficient treatment given by the . city physician, .

This is an Increase of only 49 over the year 1902, and as the popu lation Of Portland has Increased about 10.000, the death rate Is consequently greatly reduced, making Portland one of the healthleot cities in the United States.

During the year there Were 129 deaths from consumption. "The public mind." says the report, "is not awakened to the fact that spread of consumption could be materially lessened by,, proper preventive measures. Intercourse with patients should be avoided. Kissing of consumptives Is extremely dangerous. Their linen and utensils should be boiled after using. Patients should farry little bottles for the reception of sputum on -the streets. They should not expectorate upon the streets, side walks or in pocket handkerchiefs. v The expectoration of the average tubercular patient In 24 hours contains not less than 7,000,000,000 bacilli." .

Garbage Crematory. The general collection of garbage has been much more satisfactory during the year just past than In previous years, says the report. There were 28,138 cubic yards of garbage, .251 horses Sg cows, J42 dogs and 63 other animals cremated; 480 cords of Klabwood and 1,094 loads, of sawdust consumed. There are employed at the crematory four men and a sup erintendent and the " cost of the same was ,87,676.60 during the ' year 1903.

TELEPHONE GIRLS 1 NEED PROTECTION Spokane, Jan. 19. -The publio safety Committe which has been investigating Spokane s publio buildings has started In again on Its work and has declared the building occupied by the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph com pany unsafe until certain changes ar made. The building Is a new one, hav ing been built only' a few years ago. The telephone company will have Jo cut several more "doors through" the walls of the upper stories and build balconies from the fire escapes to allow a chance for the girls to get out in case the stairs are blocked' by fire. There is a large number of girls employed there and In case of a fire It Is feared by the committee that they, would become frightened and would make it a difficult iaBk to get them out if they did not have plenty of. exits. Yesterday, after noon the-committee divided Itself In groups and Investigated a number of the school .buildings of the city, including the high school building.; A number of changes will be ordered. The commit tee will keep up its work until every public building has been declared safe.

For the last three weeks every freight office In the city has been handling mes sages reaatng: "Ship before the 18th," and word has been received in most of the local offices ofunumially heavy con signments for the . Northwest from all eastern wholesale ,, centers. ; , The in creased trans-continental freight tariff became effective yesterday, January IS. a peculiar tmng aDout tnis rusn was that it did not start until a day or so before the end of the old rate period. Eastern' firms took, advantage of the urates all right, but they waited until January 16 or 17 before shipping,, as long as they -received their bills of lading before January 18 their ship ments went west under, the old. rates and la consequence all eastern freight offices have been . overwhelmed ' with business, most of which came in for shipment on the last three days of the old rate period.. .. . Connecting lines like the Bio Grande, the Canadian Pacific and ' the North western -have not yet, felt the influx of business. The eastern shipments are just moving and have hardly 'reached Chicago, as yet none Of the big increase that is coming has touched trans-Mis-, sourl river points and western divisions of all roads with offices in Portland are not yet affected. But In Ave or six days this rush will begin to make itself felt on all western lines and the next two weeks," In the opinion of v local railway men, will see more freight moved than' during a like period for many months.: . Just what per 'cent of increase the present big freight shipments will sum up is not yet known, as the eastern movement has just begun and local of fices have not received - their bills of lading, but estimates of freight men in the city make the increase from 20 to 60 per cent . over the corresponding period last year, when there was a normal early season business. When-congested business nowonjthe way has worked Itself to its destina tion freight men expect to loaf and count prortts for the next month or six weeks. : It la generany conceded that the local merchants and wholesalers have ordered at least two months' stock, and in many cases double that amount, to be shipped before January 18. Railroad men say that generally the shippers seem to believe that the trans continental railways mean to reduce rates to the old figures before the end ot two months. No one in railroad circles believes any auch thing. ' , 'The man who is long on stock is the fellow who is going to profit,'1 said a Southern Pacific freight official, this morning. -"The fellow who has been buying his stock from month to month Is the man- who will be forced to put his prices up, but the man who has a store full of goods that he received long before the freight rates were advanced will be. able to sell for some time at the old price and will gain trade and pront at the same time.. Those Arms, and businesses that keep only' temporary stocks and that buy every month In the East will of course make an Immediate advance, but as the consumer pays the freight and-eome more-f or the trouble caused the retailer In re-marking his goods, i don't see why the average ship per should, eomplaln." . ' FOR GOLDIE LEIGH Goldle, the infant baby of Menton and Gertrude Leigh -of 360 Couch street, who was surrendered by her parents in the county court yesterday, has already been adopted into an excellent -family through the efforts of the Boys' and Girls' Aid soolety. Superintendent Gard ner stated today that the child is as sured of an excellent home and he is very much pleased at his success In placing It. The child was found in a very neglected condition. Mr, oardner is of the opinion that when parents ask that their children be taxen rrom them it is 'best to take them, because they will be sure of better treatment In other hands. . In court Mr. and Mrs. Leigh admit ted they were not in a position to care for the child properly and stated that they had very little affection for her. They joined in a - request that the 6-weeks'-old baby be transferred to the care of the Boys' and Girls' Aid society. "No, I don't love it very much, and I don't feel attached to It," responded the young wife, while Judge Webster gazed upon her ,wlth a look ot astonishment upon his countenance. We are poor." continued -Mrs. Leigh, "and feel that the child would be better oft In other hands. We have talked the matter over together." The order was hesitatingly made by the court. ... $1,000 A FRONT . FOOT WAS PAID Fifth-street property Is now being sought' after as business locations. Property on this street Is fast increasing In yalue. . Russell ft Blyth have just sold the property at 128 Fifth street between Alder and Washington streets. It con sists of 28 feet frontage and. 100 feet depth. The purchase price was 11,000 a front foot, or 825,000 for the entire piece. A restaurant in a wooden building now occupies the lot. The name of the pur chaser cannot be learned, but it is said by those Interested that a modern build ing will be erected as soon as the lease of the present tenant expires.

PBEDIOTED, A fairly steady fall of snow was com ing down this morning, but by noon only a few flakes were fluttering through the air, During the early part of last night the ground was whitened by a thin covering, but when daylight came It soon disappeared, much to the chagrin of the small boy with red sled and his older brother, who had dreams or a real sleigh ride. District Forecaster Beals says - the present indications are that there will be very little more snow at Portland during the next few days. It la some what colder today than it was yester day. At 9 o'clock the thermometer stood at 82 degrees, the freeslng point There was no wind, however, and the cold did not appear to be so penetrating as jt was yesterday, when the tempera ture was 84 degrees at the coldest pe riod Since the snow first began to fall Sun day night there has been altogether but four-tenths of an inch of precipitation, An eJiual amount has fallen at Baker Cirtyand at Boise last night there was one-tenth of an inch. On Puget sound there was a greater fall than In the Willamette valley, If there should happen to come a day or two of steady .snow, rlvermen say It would cause high water. The Wil lamette is already fairly high, Though a light snowfall, was reported at local railroad offices , this morning over most of the western divisions, thU fall in no case Interfered seriously with traffic. Generally the 'snow feU on a warm and dry soil, that melted and ab sorbed the entire fall. Through - the Eastern and Southern Oregon - country the snowfall averaged ' two - or three Inches, but did not Impede traffic, All trains were reported on time by the Union depot dispatcher, and no local office had word of any serious delay. BISHOP HAMILTON WILL NOT ATTEND RECEPTION Bishop Hamilton of the Methodist Episcopal church will not be able to at tend the reception planned In his honor for tomorrow: night at the Centenary Methodist church. A letter was re ceived from . the bishop this morning stating that on account of . unexpected engagements on the Sound he would be unable to arrive tor Portland before-next Monday. The stay of the bishop in this city will be very short, as he has given instructions that a sleeper berth bo secured -for him from Portland to San Francisco on the night of the 25th the d4y of his arrival. About the only mat ter requiring the bishop s Immediate at tentlon on his arrival here will be ths question of a supply for the Taylor- street pulpit, and this will be taken up with the supply committee of that church. "3". . 1 The reception planned for tomorrow night will be given, but Bishop Cran ston, resident bishop of the M. E. church, will be the guest of honor, in- tead of Bishops Hamilton and Cran ston, as formerly arranged. - This re ception will be given by the lay -Methodists of the city, the reception last week having been tendered Bishop Cran ston by the Methodist ministers of Port land.
