- low mortality from contagious diseases
sine the first -of -the - year. Only 1J
deaths have resulted from scarlet fever
nnd idtphtheria in the past four months.
-- The health, officer gives credit for the
detection and stamping out of these dis
eases to the recently Inaugurated sys
tem of school Inspection by physicians
under supervision of the board.
- Reference is made in the report to
the work of the new dairy inspector,
Ir. Mack, who has lust returned from

. methods used by the dairy inspector of
- that city. Dr. FObl thinks mucn gooa

. position or dairy inspector was riuum
by the board this -morning.
Following is the report of Dr. Pohl:
' - Tnt of the meporfc
" "Honorable Mavor and -Board of
Health Gentlemen: The mortality
from c6ntagtous diseases since the first
. of the year has been very low. During
the entire four months' there, have been
but six deaths from diphtheria and five
from scarlet fever, the five from scarlet
Jver all occurring during this month.
- The disease In one of these cases was
v Contracted before the patient cams to
t he city. In the report to this board
nbout the first of the "ear it was men
tioned that a case of scarlet fever In the
scaling stage had been detected In one
of the city schools. Other such- cases
have been found by the. school Inspeo
tors by visiting the homes of absentees
: These cases are usually bq light that
the natlents are not aware that it Is
scarlet fever. . Thev often resentsuch

from these light cases, ma-
lignant cases may and often do occur.
Measles Were Preralemt.
"Measles has been more prevalent
during the last two months than at any
time since the spring of 1908. However,
there have been on fatalities from this
disease, Except one case, which devel
oped while the patient was suffering
Irom another disease. .
"Many of the cases on record have
been reported by the school Inspectors
and have been found by visiting tbe
houses of children absent from JhooL
The school inspectors have made 378
: home visits, .
"Plans for a new hospital for small
pox cases were submitted to this board
St the last meeting. Unfortunately, the
city will probably be obliged to pur
chase a new site, for the reason that
there is no roadway to the present
situ except through the poor farm. Thit
property Is now advertised for sale, and .
In the nnlnkm of the cltv attorney, it
will be a matter of option with any.l

"The InsDectlon of dairies under the
- direction of this department is about to
begin. This is a very Important di-
vision of the health department and the
Inspector has hard work,, before him.

"Dr. Mack, who was appolntedPrnspec
tor bv this board, has Just. returned' from
Seattle. 1 He went to Seattle at his own
-; I'xoonse to acquaint himself with the
' work as conducted In that city. The
. conditions there affecting the produc

work. ''An ordinance was ultt-

HUGE CONTRACT
IS NOT VET LET
'Completion of Lytic lload
"Will Be Host 'Costly
Job.
The question who will get the biggest
railroad contract ever let to a single
company that for completing the Lyrle
road is still hanging fire. President
E. E. Lytle and the engineering depart
ment of the Pacific Railway & Naviga
tion company are waiting for one bid
der to. Qualify and in ease this Is done
i satisfactorily he will Secure the work.
'i The delay Is caused bv the fact that
an Immense amount of capital about
3260,000 la required to even start work
on the road. The'successful bd.der for
the construction of 63 miles of the most
difficult railroad In the country must
have steam shovels, locomotives, cars,
horses, graders and all sorts of very
expensive machinery used ki railroad
work. He must i-raploy from 1500 to
zoon men. He has to build a wagon
road for the entire distance through
new and unbroken country of forests,
mountains, swift torrents" and deeD can
yons with hla ownvtapital. He has to
go into the proportion knowing that
10 per cent of the money that he is
to be paid will be withheld until June
1, 110. to Insure the completion of the
mad at that Htiia
"There are so many details connected
with the letting of the contract that it
Is Impossible to let it off-hand." said
Mr. Lytle. "It takes a great amount of
figuring to tell which of the six bids
is really tne lowest. li raxes a iirm
of assured financial responsibility, be
cause It will mean tho expenditure of
from 1160,000 to 1200.000 monthly, it
means that a large amount of supplies
of every description will have to be
taken from Portland to Tillamook by
sea and kept there until next summer
before being used. .There are eight or
nine expensive tunnels to be built, rock
to be blasted, scores of bridges and cul
verts to build and work of the most
expensive character to -conduct.
r rtnn't think that so laree a eon
tract has ever before been let to one
firm In the history of railroad work
It Is the biggest thing that I have
heard of and I think will prove a rec
ord breaker for Jons of Its kind.

HAHSEU'S AOEHGY
GETS HARD RAP
't
County Grand Jury de
nounces Jlethods of Certain
Employment Bureaus.
Methods used by tb4 , employment
agencies In weaning hard earned dollars
from poor men who are looking for jobs
are strongly cbuderoned In the report of
the May grand Jury, filed In the circuit
court. Although no Indictments have
been reported against the men conduct
ing these agencies, reference Is made -to
numerous complaints that have been re
ceived. The grand Jurors exDress surprise
that the city authorities nave, permitted,
in jiansen agency to existj l ne re
port covering this subject says:
"We would recommend that more
stringent laws be passed by the city
council governing, employment agencies.
The number of complaints that have
come up before us show that poor la
boring people are mulcted-of their hard
earned money and Bent to different
parts of the state, only to find that
there Is either no employment for them
or that It Is different work or lea
wages than they had agreed upon when
they paid their fee, and they are usu
ally out time and expenses, as well as
their ree to the agent, une or me
agencles known at Hansen's It seems-tol
us should have Its license revoked, and
we are surprised that this concern Is air
lowed to conduct business in the city of
Portland in the manner ft does."
The May grand jury was in session 11
days, thereby contrasting with -most of
Its recent predecessors, which have each
hung on for practically four weeks, un
til their life was terminated by law. It
took a slap at the time consuming pro
pensities of other juries by saying:
"Finding that all former grarfd Juries
had visited the different public institu
tions, we concluded It was Imposing un
necessary expense on the taxpayers to
visit them again this month, under
standing as we do that tile custom grew
up when Juries acted for three months."
Otherwise the report, is featureless.
No reference is made fof the Investiga
tion of forged deeds In the office of the
county clerk. Eighteen true bills In all
were returned during the montn, ana
five not true. Two Indictments re
turned yesterday are still secret, ar
rests not vet having" been made.

Jury, the other ' members being J. C
Jackson, C. C. trucks. Percy Giles, Reu

Victory for Prosecutor in

. at Spokane.
(United Pre Leased1 Wire.)
Spokane, Wash., May 1. Prosecuting
Attorney Pugh won a complete victory
today in the contempt proceedings
brought by the attorneys defending
Judge Gordon In the Gordon-Root grand
Jury investigation. Judge Huneke yes
terday formally sentenced Pugh to Jail
for refusing to surrender notes of evi
dence taken before nhe arand Jury.
When the prbceedlngs were resumed
this morning Pugh was prepared to
go to Jail rather than comply with the
court's demand, pending appeal to the
supreme court.
The court announced that he had be
come convinced that the public good
demanded yielding to the stand taken
by the prosecuting attorney and the
latter was declared purged of contempt.
The notes of the evidence remained
In Joint custody of the court and Pugh.
The fight over the taking of this testl
my was one of the technical barriers
Gordon attorneys had Interposed to the
investigation, in which until today they

tent of being appointed by the court
to prosecute Pugh for contempt.
f ME OF DOMES 1IC
"I am discouraged and would be just
as well off dead." .
This note, left in the ptirse of Mrs.
Jennie Mayo, a domestic who has been
working at 390 Fourth street, coupled
with her disappearance Thursday, lead
to the suspicion that she has made
away .with herself.
Mrs. Mayo disappeared Thursday aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock and left no trace
as to where she was going -other than
the note In her poeketbook. AU her
money and belongings were left. She
Is said to have had considerable trouble
over money matters, first suffering
heavy loses in the San Francisco earth
quake and then coming to Portland and
losing the few remaining dollars In in
vestments. Some time ago when working for
Max Conn, she disappeared for a ilme
and later was found working at the
Fourth street house. Because, however,
of the note left and the fat that on
certain occasions she has hinted at
suicide, leads to the theory that she
has done away with herself.
Mrs. Mayo Is a native of France, 65
years of age. She. speaks EnllHh
hrokenly. Detectives Hellyer and .Ma

Columbia Riyer Loggers
Suggest Int rod uet ion of
New System at Meet i ng
Held Here TodayAlso
Elect Permanent Officers.'
the Introduction of a log grading ys
tem was discussed at the meeting held
this urternoun by tne Columbia River
Loggers' association and indications are
that before long transactions - in log:
will "becarrled on in a more equitable
manner than haa aver been heretofore
In vogue on tha Columbia river. "
- A committee of seven prominent- log
gers waa appointed to interview log
gers and sawmill men in regard to tho
matter and see what they think of the
proposition, the intent of which Is Xo
give the purchaser exactly what he
uys and the, seller value for . what he
sells. Under existing conditions, It- Is
argued, the sale and purchase of saw
logs Is much of a sort of a grab bag
proposition, either party being liable to
get tha worst i of the deal any time.'
Without a system of grading the logs
are dumped Into rafts irrespective of
3uality, leaving It to the purchaser to
o the best he can with the poorest
of the lot- Sometimes he gets a raft
running unusually high In good logs and
the next time he probablv gets a raft
running high in poor logs. It is -to
overcome thla difficulty that the grad
ing bureau has been, suggested. In
vestigation haa led to the discovery that
the system works very sattsfactorv to
all concerned on Puset sound. With
Columbia river loggers adopting the
same system it Is believed that WUlapa
harbor and Grays harbor can also be
shown the advantage thereof.
ioaays meeting was also for toe
purpose of effecting permanent organ
isation and this was accomplished with
the result that Albert Hili waa elect
ed president; -K. S. Collins, ylee proa-
laent: K. b. Farrell. secretary: C. A.
Bell, assistant secretary and -I S RmrT.
ley, treasurer. The purpose of the as
sociation Is lo discuss conditions for
the mutual benefit of tha Inrtn.n
which is one of the mainstays of rev
enue In the Pacific northwest. Meet
ings are to be neld monthly with an
annual meeting on the first Saturday
in t eoruary. ,,
A canvas of the log situation showed
that while there is quite a surplus on
hand, condition .are not dlocoiiraglng.
A number of camps have been shut
down to permit of a cleaning up of the
overproduction and others, It Is under
stood, will govern their output in ac
cordance with the demand.
