' A report showing the enormous quan
tity of work that ha been thrust upon
the health. department through the fail

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

children will be vaccinated before the
beginning of the next term of school

PESKY FLIES TO HAVE NAME, AGE

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."

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. A difficult situation ! well

COST OF BUILDING
Railroad Body Continues In-
restigation of Branch
. 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.

BASEBALL GOES HAND

"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

the same emotions of love. hate, leal
ousy, revenge. 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

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

are wen Known tnat it would tie unsat

perceptible straightening up nil over the
