That hun dreds of Asiatics, mostly Hindus,' are illegally In California, and that the . state has failed to provide funds for the employment of physicians to search out cases of diseased all ana and effect , their rtoportatlon, was the assertion to day of a prominent member of the state board of health. " ' The federal government is willing to do l'ts share toward seeing that dis eased foreigners do not enter the coun try, but it depends on the state health departments to see that where infectious diseases develop in so-called "undesir ables," a report. shall be made to the federal authorities, that the diseased peri-ons may be deported. ' ' .' ,' Health officials state that the de partment is handicapped through lack of funds with which to pay an adequate corps of inspectors and that If the in Kpection force were made more effec- tive there would be fewer Hindus and other orientals in California. Hookworm and Other Diseases.

It is pointed out that If the hookworm excuse should be overworked It would pay those desiring Vhooper labor .in California to place phy elcians aboard the Pacific liners and , cure all those afflicted with the dls ease, before the vessel reached the Pa cific coast. While no move has been made to in crease the effectiveness of the state health board in respect of funds neces sary, It is considered likely that bills to cover the matter will be presented at the coming session of the. leglslaure, HILL NO T INTERESTED ini hi RAILROAD s: (Special DUiMtch to The Journal.) j- Jacksonville, Or..

The Thousand Springs Power company is planning to build an electric plant on Snake river, Just below .Brown's Flats, to pump water for the irrigation of 8000 acres of land along the river benches. The entire outlay, Including the erection of the electric power plant, the building of the power line and the installation of the pumping plant will cost approxls niately 3300,000. All of the power from the Thousand Springs plant will not be used for ir rigation pumping. On the contrary,' the company expects to use it commercial ly, for it4has thoroughly tested out the proposition and knows the amount of power that can be generated by these wonderful springs that burst out of the side of the bluffs along the river. Some Idea of this power can be derived from the fact that the estimated strength of the Springs is 14,000 horsepower. The electric plant will convert about 3000 of this into actual power. Many contracts are now being signed up for the irrl Ration of the land, end work will go ahead until the plant Is completed. Water is to he delivered by May 1, 1912, according to the contracts.
