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.

Is hugely I'vs'.'oiisible for this. 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

Threshlng operations In the inland
empire show that tho wheat crop Is go
ing to be much better than expected
J- P. 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.

1 "In the Palouse country the yield will
run about 25 per cent under last year s
crop. The river counties In Oregon are
hard lilt by drouth and smut. Thev will
not produce more than 50 per cent of j
me crop yieioeti last year. 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.

the experiment of doubly oiling one of
the city's streets for the purpose of de

The street selected was Main street
from Fourth to Sixth. The two blocks
were first rolled with the "srilker." an
ordinary roller with large, blunt spikes
screwed Into the rear rollers. Oil was
sprinkled on the street after this and
then rolled flat after a covering of
sand had been thrown over the oil. Vlth
