ProRress of Medlcnl Science. Washington, D. C, Aug. 1. The meetlnR of tho Pan-American med leal congress In Guatemala next Wednesday Is another proof of the creat national and International In terest In the health of the world's Iieoplp, another evidence of the prog ress of the world 'b physicians In their chosen work. The United States and the Latin-American coun tries will he represented, and leaders of the various branches of the med ical profession will discuss new methods, new cures, new discoveries. Our own national Interest in the matter of public health is increasing marvelously. In the Democratic platform adopt ed at Denver there is a plank advo cating the organization of a national bureau of public health, and the Re publican convention advocated sim ilar legislation. Public recognition, though tardy at first, has been ac corded the victors over yellow fever In New Orleans and Havana, and over the bubonic plague in San Francisco and Manila. Public sen timent hns called for a sweeping pure food campaign, fur a war ou flies, mosquitos and rats as dissem inators of disease, and for a world wide crusade against tuberculosis. Where tho beginning of the nineteenth century saw helpless patients physlced, blistered orul bled, and deprived of air find wrter in an effort to eradicate dls ensB, the beginning of the twentieth Bees r rational awakening: of the civil ized world. Poors and windows are opened to all the winds of heaven, there Is a rush bnrk to Mother Nature for her simplest remedies, and tho slogan of today's health worker Is "Fresh air. The now Fdrbes Presbyterian church, at Sollwood street and Gantenbeln ave nue, will be opened to the publlo for the first time today. This morning serv ices will be held there and Rev. Harry H. Pratt, the pastor, who has worked so energetically for the construction of tho new church, will preach the ser mon. This will not be the formal dedi catory service, for now so many mem bers are away for the summer vaca tion, in September the church will be formally consecrated with peclal services. The old church was hurned down last Docember and Mr. Pratt and the mem bers opened a campulKn at once for the erection of a larger and better church. Members and friends gave liberally to the best of their ability, socials and con certs were given to increase the fund and finally a fine $12,000 church was built on the site of the old one. It af fords much more space ter Sunday school rooms than did the old one. The auditorium will seat about 800 and the Sunday school room, which can be thrown Into one with the main room, will make the seating capacity 00 more. The church Is already carpeted, the seats are put In and everything Is In order. The Insurance on the old church amounted to $5,000, and tnla was quick ly added to to make up the sum needed. W. M. Ladd, who Is a generous donor to all Presby terlanism, started tho sub scription list with $260.

The delega tions to the Independence party conven tion from Washington, Oregon, Cali fornia and Nevada, returning from Chi cago, were delayed 40 miles east of this city all last night by a cloudburst whtrh washed out the railroad tracks.

In time. past more than one-fourth of tho world's population died before reaching the age of six years. Medical science Is robbing, childhood of danger from certain diseases, and millions are now saved every .vi-ar. It Is estimated that today at least tSO per cent of children born Into the world live to bo IB, whero a century or so ago only fio per cent reached that nee. There are now np proxfmately 2,000.000 more births than deaths every year, and, whllo In soma localities race suicide may bo lowering the annual birth rate, this Is outdis tanced at every point by the. reductions In Ihe death rate that medical men have made possible. Preventive Mediolnea. ' Clf mnrA Imrnrlnnpd l)i:tn f V. a application of medical science to suffer - lng humanity is that great boon of pre ventive medicine. Since the discovery of the principle of vaccination, medical men have been learning how to put In practice the time-honored proverb that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cre. Sometimes they have, figura tively, had to fight fire with fire, as In preventing small pox. More ofton they have had to tight disease with cleanliness But, whatever the method. fhey have gone forward, forcing back disease Inch by Inch until this begin ning cf the twentieth century marka a notul.la era In the public health. The Spanish-American war brought the i.eglnrlng of correct sanitary prin ciples. This nation learned, then, a most humiliating lesson, but It waa a lesson by l i. n all the world has nr-rflteil In that war the American, army suffered 1 deaths Irom disease to every one from wounds During the )i iisso-:i pa i.ese war Japan lost one mm fioin d'.stase to four from wounds so far had the science of preventive meas ures already advaneej.

That crusade has born fruit.

O'Brien, general manager, and U. B. Miller general freight agent, of tho O. R. & ,'. Co., who have just returned from a very complete trip over the lines In eastern Oregon. Washington and Idaho, bring encouraging reports. It is believed that the general average crop will be within 5 per cent of last year's enormous crop. This estimate applies only to the ter ritory tributary to the O. It. & N. Co.'s lines, which last year handled about 4J per cent of the total wheat crop of the Inland empire embracing the three states. ' The wheat crop of the territory ad- Jncent to the Northern 1'aclfle and Great Northern Is said to be harder hit than areas near the O. R. & N. The Big Bend country has sent out reports verv unfavorable., yet the general im pression now Is that these reports havo oeen exaggerates as were those rrom other sections of the wheat country. Better Than Bxpeoted. "We found farmers in eastern Wash ington who would have sold their grain crop on a basis of 30 bushels to the acre, Mr. Miller said. In the alia Walla country the outlook Is especially good. The crop is being threshed and will not be worse than 15 per cent un der last year's crop. As the 1907 crop was very much above the average we figure that the general run of the fields tributary to our lines will produce about an average crop this '-ear.

Tins esti mate Includes, Morrow Sherman, Wasco, ' Jllliam, and even Umatilla county." I Mr. O'Brien was of the- opinion that i although tho crops aro somewhat short the farmers will do nearly as well as In previous years owing to the good 1 prices that prevail this year. ! Oregon river counties iast vear pro duced about 6, .100, 000 bushels of wtieat. I The remainder was raised In the Grand Ronde, and In eastern Washington and northern Idaho. Tho port of Portland ! last year exported 20.000. 000 bushels of i wheat and flour, and all Puget sound 1 ports shipped 25,Oi)ii.000 bushels. This! moans that the . K. & N. lines han dled more than 40 per cent of the total ! grain yield of the three states. It is estimated that on a local pop ulation of 2,000,000 people, consuming ettfht bushels per capita annually In! Oregon, Washington and Idaho, the total j - yield reached tiO, 000,000 bushels. The situation at the present time does riot favor an estimated total yield of much over 4u.nuo.iiuu ousnels, on account o tno uepressing reports irom the Big Bend country, and from the rea-l.in of coneli and Kanlotus. So far as O. R. N. territory Is con cerned the total irraln tonnaa-e Is ex pected to be not much below that of : last year, ttarley and. other grains are yielding heavily and the only serious shortage Indicated Is reported from the river counties in tiregon.
