I then Inspected tha olty water works aad tha dletrlct la tha Immediate vicinity. Monday night I mat tha phyalciana of tba city, talked aver tha altuatlon and sot them to five ma tha addreeaea of all their patlenta and marked tha loca tion at all tha eaaea on a chart of tha city. I aleo Inquired aa far aa they knew whether their patlenta uaed elty or "well -vrater and learned all I could of tha i eewerare rat em.

Ncxt morntna; Dr.' Mataon made a per sonal eaavaaa of the' Infected district, la tha vicinity of : Pearl and Twelfth streets ha found many eaaea.

I Immediately aeeurad a plat of the. elty water' syetem and found that where dead ends In the water system existed the typhoid eaaea were found. Thle . waa especially true on pearl aad Oek streets and In the die trtct between the railway tracka and the river. .-...., -.. .. - - w .

This millrace waa un doubtedly oontamlnated by water run ning into tt from t..a river a mile aad a half above the town at a point la the stream where there la a awlft current There are eaaea of typhoid along the river' above tha elty. Three were re ported from Springfield, three mile above, and others were scattered aa far up aa Cottage Orova, miles distant Owing to the negligence ef aeveral of the phyalciana la Sling complete re ports it waa Impossible to trace a num ber of the eaaea. . But undoubtedly the river water haa been oontamlnated from these eaaea' above Eugene. "8o far In my Investigations I bar found no typhoid genua la the" city water or In the mill race, but coll com muala haa been found, and thla la a ape etee closely allied with typhoid germs and Indicative of contamination by aew age. If thi coll baclllue la la the water there la reason to believe that typhoid genna are there also. . The reason they have not been found yet la perhapa da to the feet that very few typhoid genua exist In any given quantity af water. for Instance, you may have a barrel af water with only a frmr typhoid germs. One hundred persona may drink from this barrel and only one become inocu lated with the dlseaaa germs. "There la aa doubt in my mind at all that the elty water at Eugene la oon tamlnated. The results of my Investi gation point eonclualveiy ta this fact. BaUef Weeded at'vaee. -- I "Something should be done Immedi ately to remedy the altuatlon or - the waters at the enure Willamette river may become oontamlnated. and the peo ple using tne water rartner down the river had better look carefully Into their water supply, especially the towns using rtvsr water. "Aa aa Immediate precaution X would recommend that aU the plpea of the Eu gene water plant be flushed with a eo lation of copper of sulphate, whleh will In no manner menace the health ef the people and wlU kill the typhoid germ in the pipe and all the algae which forma food for the typhoid . bacteria a. The beat thing for Eugene to do would bo to install en entirely, new water plant by whleh the water could be altered...-- i ; . a ' ;" ..-..( "It haa been suggested thai they get a water supply from the McKeaaie river, but typhoid haa been carried to this stream and also contaminated Ita waters aad anlesa the supply waa taken far back In the mountains It would be aa bad a Willamette river water. The disease has. spread to auch an extent that the entire country la affected." Dr. Matson further suggested that pnysieians snouia o compelled to re port every- typhoid ease immediately, furnishing aa necessary particular. Ha said that many ' physicians bad been criminally negligent la not properly re porting oases. The majority of the phyalciana In Eugene ware doing every-thine- in their power to a tame out the disease and aaalstod him la hla investi gation. 1 ' He further recommended that Eugene have a elty physician aad a elty health afflear, and aald that tha . town could act expect Dr. 11a rite, the county health afflear, to look after all the work. that area to be done.
