THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. THURSDAY EVENING, JULY " 2. 1903. POLICE TO AID liT HEALTH WORK r Div Fohl Declares Physicians J Have Repeatedly Violated . - Quarantine Laws. ' A report showing the enormous quan tity of work that ha been thrust upon the health. department through the fail ure 6t eeveral physicians to report eaaea .of .smallpox and other communi cable diseases was made by City Health Officer ir,. Esther C. Fohl to the mem bers of the lty health board yeeterduy ith the result that the board in structed Dr. Pohl to maintain a strict quarantine and If necessary to call in the police dopartment to aid her. Chief OrlUmacher was prenent and statin! that If a list of such piacos be handed Jiim he would see that a quarantlno was observed. Dr. Pohl explained to the health board that most of the trouble arising from attempting to enfoice quarantine came frrim nhvctclnns themselves and cited several )huatratJoni8-la-6hpw how they h attempted even 7n the' TaOT"Trfr dlafrnoses made by other physicians to save ineir patients from quarantine. To prevent a repetition of this year's rpldemic of smallpox all school chil dren! employes of laundries and other places where large numbers mifrht be expose will be vaccinated. , The school children will be vaccinated before the beginning of the next term of school and the others as rapiaiy as me neaun department- can perform the work. I)r. Pohl'i report, which was adopted ry the health board, givey in netau tno History or tne epiuemic, ann )". .."Thn Anlrtemln of amallnox which ex isted in the Chapman school district and was reported to this board in the month of May Js entirely suppressed. The last quarantine was raised yester day. "Smallpox has , been prevalent throughout, much of the country Our insr the winter, and there being no quarantine in these out of the way Places, the city is exposed from every direction. To avoid a repetition or this t rnnhu nrt wintAi ail of the school children apd the employes of laundries ana otner ptaces wnerc mino uumuui might be exposed should be vaccinated. PESKY FLIES TO HAVE NAME, AGE AND OCCUPATION ENUMERATED Uncle Sam has started to take a fly census Every fly In the t ntted Statos, providing that he lives long enough, Is to be counted. Thin will Include llttl flies, big flics, young files, old fllea, and the kind which awakn you in the morning. Mosquitoes are not to ha checked up until the fly census has been oompletod. "All the pesky little buzsers of the fly family which are known as germ spreaders are to bo enumerated by sci entific bands of agricultural depart ment entomologists. Inspired by lofty notions of dfseaso prevention." said an employe of the government fit one pf the Portland hotels this morning. "I am now on my vacation, hut when 1 return to Washington I expect to be enlisted In the army of fly fighters g HO fur the fly census has been Inaugu rated only In Washington. It may ex tend to nthor cities as the scheme proKreswes. ' "ir I,, O. Howard, chief entomolo gist of the department of agriculture. Is In charge of thn fly corps. The census la being taken with regular sticky fly paper. It is denied by the government that the manufacturers of sticky fly paper originated the fly cen sus Idea and persuaded the department to take it up. "Kor some time the Insect experts have been making experiments to de termine the relationship between the common house fly and typhoid fever. Ir. Howard appreciated early in the game that it would be necessary to patch flies In the act of spreading dis eaae, hence the fly census Idea." ST THE M FIGURE IT RIGHT, PORTLAND IS CLOSEST TO POPULATION'S CENTER By O. 1. W. A wonderful interpretation of Hamlet was given by Robert Mantell at the IIoIUk last nlght-ra thoroughly natla- factory, living, flesh-and-blood Interpre tation. Though there may be question as to this being Shakespeare's greatest tragedy, there la none about its being one of the most difficult roles to play. To make of the prince of Denmark, with his sight for walking spirits, ills mel ancholy, his thirst for revenge and his indecision about the means, his simula tion of madness, his alternating bitter ness and tenderness to muko of this a sane human being is a task for the greatest tragedian. And Kobert Man (ell does It: ho becomes a lovable man endowed with reasonable qualities and all the horror la forgotten. It is great portrayal. Mr. Muntell transfers choosers.

Lines in Oregon. It took I789.249.t8 to' build the Ar lington-Condon branch of the O. R. & N. during 1B0S and 1906. It would take $1,179,666 to reproduce the road at the -present time under conditions of labor and material holding now. This Is the Information given by the officials of the O. R. & N- as a result of Investiga tions which have been carried on for some months In answer to a request of the state railroad commission. ' It also- required 81,263,756 to construct the iJiggs-Shaniko branch, and would take 81.852, 738 to reproduce the line. The cost of the Pilot Rock-Pendleton branch, just completed, was 8342,018.98. These figures Just completed by the auditing departments of the different branches are the forerunners of similar figures on every line of railroad In the state over which the commission has jurisdiction: They have been compiled by the roads at the request of the com mission, and will be checked over by the commission for oosslble error. The statistics will be of great value to the commission and to the state for various reasons. They will furnish a .basis of authentic statistics upon which assessors may rely in estimating the tax assesment of the properties. It will also furnish a base from which rates may be computed by the commis sion. Before the task Is completed the commission will require similar state ments from the O. R. &-N.. the South ern Pacific and all lines under their Jurisdiction, which embraces all rail roads doing a carrying business Out sfde the limits of an incorporated city or town. If Alaska, Porto Rico. Hawaii and the Philippines are included in figuring out the center of population of the United States the country's central area is out in the Pacific ocean, Just west of the northern part of the coast of Oregon, or directly opposite the mouth of the Columbia river, and south of the south coast of Alaska. In this way Portland is the largest city near the center of population of this country. If Alaska and the recent Inland ee the center of area is in timlthKTAOIN cessions to this country are excluded the center of area Is In Smith county in northern Kansas. The center of population In 1900.. was) six miles southeast of Columbus, Ind. In 1SS0 it was eight miles west by south of Cincinnati. Since 1790 is has moved 619 miles. In 1890 the center of the negro population was near Rome, Oa.. and traveled aulfward. Bo the government exports estimate that if Oregon continues to Increase its population as rapidly as It has in the nast and Including the new posse slon within a few years the center of population will be in the near vicinity of Portland. fTnnkespeare's the people of the BASEBALL GOES HAND IHHANDURELJI10N "Whenever I shall stoop to attend a baseball game I Will go to the Port land ball grounds and not patronize an Institution like the Chautauqua, which purports to be a semi-religious affair," Js the substance of a remark of a Port land religious enthusiast. Baseball in Itself Is the most fascinat ing as well as scientific game In Amer ica. It develops strength, agility, apt ness, self-control, decision, great care fulness and health. With the possible exception of the last, each of these is an Important phase of a great character. That the game has been abused by pro- lessionaiism is prooaDiy true, yet prop in iev ,r use of baseball ver be condu cive to good morals. The fine teams that will play at Chautauqua will be a credit to the Institution both in fneir behavior and their ability to play ball. The Chautauqua Is broad minded and emphasises every phase of life that en ters Into a fully rounded manhood. For the body, much strees is laid upon ath letics and baseball, for the mind 12 summer schoola are established In which are taught English and Amer ican literature, different studies in science, art, sociology, history, music and elocution, and for the spiritual na ture two morning hours are given espe cially to development work, and Bible study under tne leadership or liev Charles Phipps, the state Sunday school I 1 . 1 J T .

And yet no sacrilege Is committed no Shakespenre student and worshipper need feel that his Idol has been tampered with. The lines are re tained in their original form; they are treated with all due respect nnd rev erence. So many Shakespeare readers and players are like the toad that want ed to be an ox and "hosted" Itself trv ing they ruin the beautiful verse In trying to make modern nrose out of It But Mantell retains tho 'rhythm as If It were something to be courted instead of oeing snunned and witnai makes his lines sound as though they were his snoken thoughts. So many scenes and speeches in Ham let are "particularly great" and so many are wen Known tnat it would tie unsat isfactory to say that any one was great est or all. The famous soliloquy came ana went ana except tnat there was a perceptible straightening up nil over the house when the familiar words were broached, there was little to mark it from the rest of the play. There wera many greater moments, as, for Instance, the renunciation of Ophelia tho denun ciation of the klni before the nlavers. and the chamber Interview with his mother. Throughout tnere was a spirit of repressed force; every intonation, ev ery glance of the keen eyes, every twitch of the facial nerves was made to tell. The face was as potent a fnctor In the interpretation as his fine voice. A thor- I oughly satisfactory Hnmlet. aux. noc so wnn Lillian Kingsbury as Ophelia.
