"Wheeler's expressed desire to sterilize tubercular milk, brought Into 1'ortland rather than to enforce the or dinance which demands that all milk sold In Portland must be' from cows known not to have the disease. The 1 pure food committee of the league made this statement:-. . "It Is of the utmost Importance that the milk old In Portland be known to : -be pure. Sterilisation, pasteurisation or 1 a,fiy other process -will not make milk jfood if . It" was not good In . the first jplace. Good milk needs .no treatment to make It. better. We do not, therefore, ' approve pr, Wheeler's plan. The law forbids the 6ale of milk from tubercular cows. If he does his duty ho will rn- X force the law. Only by enforcing the law will the health of the people be protected. ' Only by jenforelng - the law will the death rate among babies be i checked.

I ' , '. Quotes B. XL Adams, ', . The assertion of Samuel Hopkins A4- ams writing In MeClure's Magazine, ex l presses the attitude Of this committee. I He said: a.'""'r ,;: . " There is today no eminent authority -; in the medical world who believes that '.pasteurized (boiled or sterilised) milk .' is as good and pure as raw milk, Pas X teurUation is defended as a makeshift. 3a method of destroying dlsease-bear-- ing germs, by boiling them lii the milk, I and serving, as it were, a sort of bacil t lus soup. ; But even thoroughly- boiled y germs are not valuable articles of nutrl- went Boiled filth and as soon as you begin to pasteurize you open wide the door to foul milk, since the foulness Is ; concealed, not destroyed in the cooking ' Is not an eminently desirabje item of s diet, even when boiled in milk. - More- over, the bacilli of putrefaction, which are a fertile cause of diarrhoeal dlsor i ders, fairly hold revel of multlpllca i tlon in pasteurised milk, whereas in raw I milk they are kept under by the natural 1 bacilli of the fluid, which fall an early ; prey to boiling. - Finally tapteurlsed ; milk causes aourvy, rickets, anaemia : and malnutrition ln-ehlMwn, , lesser of Two Evils. i "The 1899 sanitary commission of Copenhagen, in its experiments with - samples of milk treated by this process, i found that by the time they reached the ! consumer, they were as rich in bacteria - as ordinary milk, and that their bacteria averaged greater efficiency for harm. Fhld a very distinguished Danish self - entlst recently; - ' The dealer who pasteurizes good ' milk is a fool. . The dealer who pasteur- Izec foul milk t a knave.' "The sole excuse for pasteurising bad milk has been that U was the lesser J; of two evils. -Copenhagen has ahown ; to the world that pasteurization is an : unnecessary evil, and that the slogan raised 80 years go by Dr. Busck and his little band of altruistic associations, : "Pure milk from sourld cows is unlver V sally obtainable.'" .v....-,-:i. : X The expression of 'the pure food com ; mittee is in response to Health Officer t Wheeler's proposal to the city board of . health that tubercular milk being ; brought into the city be sterilized. " ,'The proposal on the surface looked very ; well, but the city attorney at once an : nounced that it would be illegal, since 1 the city ordinance forbids the sale of : milk from tubercular cows in the city. Members of the city board of health 4 : clared that they would rather see a test : of the ordinance in the court ty prose- cuting those who refuse to obey the law '-than to attempt evasions such as Dr. ; Wheeler's proposal seemed. y, ' A similar statement was made by Dr, ; Calvin S. White, state health officer, ' who declared his belief that before Dr. " Wheeler could carry out his plan to ; sterilize tubercular milk the local law ; would have to be substituted by another - permitting iuch acts.

HISTORIC BATTLE 10 BE FEATURE OF SHOW Chief among the features In a pro gram of historic correctness and un common interest which will be fur nlshed by Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Pawnee Bill's Far East, will be-a repro duction of the Battle of Summit gprlngs. The original conflict took place on July 11, 1869,; near the border line between Nebraska and Colorado, s General EX A. Carr commanded a detachment Of United States cavalry against a renegade band of Sioux. Cheyenne and Arapahoe In dians, known as ":Dog Soldiers." Col onel William T, Cody (Buffalo Bill) was the chief 0 scouts with the government expedition and It was due to his trailing that the cavalry came up with the In dians and surprised them while in camp at Summit Springs. In the battle which ensued Buffalo Bill killed Tall Bull, the leader of the "Dog Soldiers." The victory which the government forces .gained over the Indiana decided the issue against the red men in their hopeless struggle against government control . The battle at Summit Springs will be faithfully depleted, Colonel Cody enacting his original role. General Carr, General Hayes and others in command with the United States cavalry will be Impersonated, and the death of Tall Bull will be a realistic feature of the dra matic spectacle. Among the other pic tures of western life snd Incidents which 111 depict .the pleasures and pastimes of the plainsmen, Is the. attack on an emigrant train, which shows the dan gers and hazards of early settlement of the fertile west To these historic scenes will be added a beautiful oriental spectacle, the Congress of Roughrideri, which will Introduce horsemen from ev ery clime in exhibitions of marvelous equestrian . skill.

"We have won the convention al ready." said Mr. Moser. "In every part of the country I visited I found the sen timent in favor of Portland." Mr. Moser was accompanied by his wife. Leaving Detroit they went to Toronto, the former home of M. Moser thence to Mbntreal and then to Boston. Leaving Boston, they visited Newport and other summer . watering places made a tour of the New England states, then went to New York, Atlantic City, Philadelphia,, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and cities in Wisconsin. - For a good part of the trip Mr. and Mrs. Moser were .accompanied by Mr, and Mrs. H. I Keats, of Portland. Mr. and Mrs; Moser returned by way of the Canadian Pacific -t.

A serious Injury to residents along the Rogue river would be the result If the act forbidding commercial fishing in that stream is carried this fall. An initiative petition has been filed with the secretary of state In which it is pro posed to stop the industry In that river. About JT5.000 annually Is paid to fish ermen. The men back of the petition cite that at the present time the small fish are caught and thrown away,: thus spoiling, the river for sport fishing." It is also set forth that there are several large fishing 1 concerns doing this kind of work. ' An investigation reveals the fact that Only one concern Is engaged in com mercial fishing, no small mesh' nets be ing used. The nets tised are. the same. as those in the Columbia river. There fore the same protection Is given fish In the Rogue river as in other streams. The only salmon cannery on the rlv- er.ls located at the mouth of the stream. It has been there for SO years. This concern gives employment to nearly all the Inhabitants along the lower part of the river. , Two, hatcheries are main tained by this cannery, one being on Elk and the other on Indian creek. They more ' than replace the number caught each year. . t It is set forth, by tnose wishing to maintain the industry that If. the can aery: and-hatcheries are stopped, the fish supply in that river would soon dwindle away, as the mining operations and dams In the river would extermlnte what fish find their way into the stream. It is furher set Out by the, fish ermen that Rogue liver produces more salmon and of a finer quality than any other river in Oregon, except the Co lumbia, and It would be as much an In justice to close it as to close the Co lumbia, it Is pointed out Further Investigation Into the Ques tion, Indicates that the petitioners have not the protection Of fish at heart, but other motives have actuated the move. The campaign Is being carried on un der the plea of protecting the fishing industry and the fish. ; The requisite number of signers have been secured for the initiative petition, but many of these have expressed themselves as be ing misinformed when they signed the paper. 1 The question will be put to a vote on the November ballot. 60,000 Acres Land to Be In corporated Into East Uma- tilla Project.

The duck hunting season In Umatilla county was successfully opened Thursday along the lower Umatilla river. During the early morning there was a veritable cannon ade, from -Echo -to- Umatilla along the river and north and east of Hermlston on the seepage lakes. Hundreds of ducka were hatched on the Hermlston lakes and along 4he river this year, so that the shooting waa prob ably the best for this early In the sea son thai; was ever enjoyed In that vi cinity, Apparently every man, woman and boy who owned a gun was out, and It Is doubtful if . there is a home In Hermlston in - which duck Is not In cluded on the Mir of fare for one or more meals. Even boys armed with '22 rifles were successful hunters. While members of the Hermlston Oun club, who Have the most of the seepage lakes leased and in a private preserve, enjoyed the best sport those who were not members and knew where to enjoyed a good day's shooting. go The open season for ducks in this county is from' September 1, to April 1, and the limit for one person Is 18 In any seven consecutive days. i REDUcilT RATES .

Portland has been the mecca for check forgers during the past month, and the detective department has been over Whelmed with complaints from' victims. Despite the capture of nine during the month of August many merchants and saloon men continue to accept slips from those unknown to them. Reports received indicated that 18 in dividuals, twice -the number of those trailed and arrested, had scattered their worthless paper about the oity In, Au gust, : Some of jthese 'have fled, but others are believed to have arrived In the city' since. Most of the forgers assumed the guise of working men, en tering' stores and saloons toward the close of the day with their hands and face grimy. Ernest ! Schneider, aged 26, of Med- ford, assumed the' role of a ' mechanic. He was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detective John Price while trying to pass a check of 119.50 on Davidson Bros., 4? Third street One of the mem bers of the firm tailed in Price, who happened to be passing. The check was supposed to have been drawn by the Mount Scott Concrete company, of S442 Hawthorne avenue. In favor of Frank Feldman. No such firm exists. Schneider had 894 In his pockets. He had been stopping at the New Western hotel, 834 Gllsen street A warrant for another forger was swern out yesterday afternoon by Frank Anderson, proprietor - of a saloon at Fourth and Stark streets, who accepted his check for 818.

Salem, Or., Srpt. 3. Declaring that if the members present wished 10 trans form the Young Men's Republican club Of Salem Into a Hawley club for the purpose of boosting Hawley's candidacy for congress in the First district to the exclusion of the promotion of the prin ciples of Cthe .. Republican party, for which purpose the club was originally organised, Hal D. Pattern,. Statement No, 1 candidate for -state senator from Ma rlon county; .severely arraigned those present at a meeting of the club last night. . .r-; Patton, who was one of the organlaers of the Salem Young Men's Republican olub, maintains that the purpose of the club is to fight for the principles of the Republican- party and to v supports the party's nominees 'for . office, and, that any, actioifc.the club might take toward indorsing the candidacy ofj?ny Repub lican before the primaries iaA depar ture Jtrom the first rlnclpldb ; upon which the club was founded. Mr. Pat ton contends that the voters at the polls should determine whom is the party's choice first, and 'then It Is the duty of the club to work for the election of the party's nominees. At a meeting one weea ago wnue Patton was out of the city the club met. held Its election of officers and adopted resolutions indorsing the candi dacy for congress of W. C. Hawley, standpatter. When the minutes of that meeting were read last night Patton Im mediately arose and objected to the minutes and the action of the club In Indorsing Hawley, as a departure from the purposes of the organization, v According to Patton, the constitution and by-laws of the club forbid the in dorsement of candidates for nomination before the primaries, but the records of the club have been lost together with all the copies: of the constitution and by-laws. ' There is a movement on foot now to reorganise the club by the adop tion of new by-laws. Ever since the 'state and county .as semblies were held - the Young Men's Republican club of fialem.has had a turbulent existence.' It fostered a meet ing in Marion square where none but assembly candidates were Introduced to the audience. Those members of the club who oppose the assembly idea im mediately registered a vigorous objec tion to any action by the club that looked like an indorsement of candidates before the voters had an opportunity to be heard as to whom should be the party's nominees In the present cam paign. The club apparently cannot trust the rank and file of the party to exer cise Its choice wisely. Patton, who Is a Statement No. 1 can dldate for state senator, says he will support Mr. Hawley, and au other as sembly candidates, . providing they are nominated by the party in the direct primaries, to be held September 24. In the meanwhile-be expects to support JB FV Mulkey, Hawley's opponent foe the nomination. , r Mattress Sale Special Sale of Fine Velvet Carpets at 7 7c These carpets are last season's patterns and are usually sold at $1.15.

Saeger. 1 a Statement No. 1 candidate for Joint representative from Klamath, i.ake; Cook and Grant counties, in the Republican primaries. ' Hugh- ,-McLaln lacked 109 names of having the num ber , required by law. He also lacked two precincts in Clackamas county, of having 10 per cent of the precincts jn seven, counties of the state as is re quired by the direct primary law. This leaves C P. Strain of Fendie- ton, the other Democratic candidate for nomination for railroad commissioner, with no oppositln in the primaries. , Claude R. Saeger attempt to get on the uallot fell down In several respects, according to the Interpretation of the primary law made by Mr. Corey. Baeger apparently misunderstood ' the . boun daries of the Twenty-first Representa tive District ami omitted Grant county entirely. This was(causa for him not having sufficient names. The law re quires 2 per cent of the voters of. each district based on . the vote for repre sentative in congress at the last elec tion. While Saeger required 70 names he had but 68, which would have Been sufficient according to his understand ing of - what counties comprised the list district. Saeger also did not-file his declaration prior to his petitions. Both were filed - simultaneously today, while the law -makes It clear that the declaration must be filed before the petitions can be circulated. All other candidates have regular petitions and will be on the primary ballot as prev iously reported Friday. STARGAZERS FIND MORE WATER VAPOR ON MARS " (T'nlted Prew Letwd Wire.) Flagstaff, ArU..
