Nirt a Single Case In Pendleton Orig inated In City Water Country Well and Haircut Field Tanks Are Are Greater Sources of Contagion Than the Umatilla River at Tills Point Again Are All People, In and Out of Town, Enjoined to Use Only Boiled Water. Since the typhoid fever became prevalent in Pendleton many alarm ing stories have become circulated re garding the number of cases in the city. Some of these have reached Dr. R. C. Yenny, secretary of the state board of health, and he has written Dr. W. G. Cole, Inquiring as to the conditions here. In reply Dr. Cole wrote the follow ing letter this morning: Dr. Colo Tells tlie Facta. Pendleton, Ore., July 18. Dr. R. C. Yenny, Secretary State Board of Health, Portland, Ore. Dear Doctor: I have your letter of the 16th Inst, with newspaper en closed regarding typhoid cases In this city. There are In this city at present not to exceed 25 cases, and the majority of these cases come from the sur rounding territory. I do not know of a single case directly traeeable to city water. The people he.e have been repeatedly warned through the news papers to boil all water used. The trouble is that during the flood there was considerable vegetable mat ter and refuse washed Into the stream which has settled on the bedrock of the river 'and held In place by the 4 gj."?! red atiove ine DearocK. it is. impossible to get rid of this, as it Is In the river for miles above the source of our water supply. We have repeatedly warned the people by means of the newspapers here, to boil the water, and it seems as though . the worst Is over. Another source of trouble here are the wells In the country. These wells In the winter season get considerable water In them. When the Bummer season Is "on the water in the wells gets low. and along the sides of the wells there Is left a deposit of silt which gets washed Into the well as they draw the water from buckets. You will appreciate also that in the dry season gophers and squirrels seeking water burrow Into these wells nnd many times drop In and decom pose before people seem to realise there is contamination. The tanks used In the harvest fields- I are another source of trouble here. They are laid by .during the winter season and then brought into use per haps without being boiled or scalded out. and this furnishes us with trou ble. Notwithstanding the constant ad vice given year after year by nearly all physicians nbout these troubles, the people persist in the old methods. W. G. COLE. MAY ENJOIN SAILORS' UXIOX.
