. rood Adulteration Alarming'.
"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.
The Fatef nl Mosauito,
"It has been demonstrated beyond the
possibility of contradiction that mos

' The report states that during 1903 a

resulted -fatally, a reduction of three
from 1 902. Rigid Quarantine was Es
tablished and room fumigated.
There were 214:asea of diphierla with
27 deaths. Diphtheria anti-toxin has

..: "In the treatment and prevention of

ministered at the very outset of the at

purposes. Children, having been ex

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

There were 27 deaths out of 98 cases

"Bad sanitary environments are usu

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, . Successful vaccination
absolutely prevents smallpox, and is
the only way to stamp It out and keep
It out." . ,

Twelve hundred and forty deaths wera
reported. 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. Estimating the city's popula

Kissing Consumptives.
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."

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. ...

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
