PHY WEEK IX OREGON. Very Tierorts comi' from the Interior of two serious cases of the dread spotted fever In the sheep country, mys the Baker City Herald. One In a youna lady school teacher seriously 111 at Ironside and the ether Is a man near ntn death at the Lockhart ranch on the road from the lower country to the hills. Both of the patients are In very serious condition. Spotted fever seems to be a more prevalent disease this year than ever before In the Interior country and the doctors are baffled In treating It. Over there as a general thin the patient Is so far from a physician that the disease cannot be properly treated. Everybody Is afraid of the dreaded disease and when ever possible they skirt the sagebrush plains and stick to the hills or meadows. It Is commonly believed that spotted fever comes from the bite of the sage tick. This tick Is red and Its bite Is very Irritating- -The common belief among the people of the Infested re gions Is that the tick to carry the srerm of the fever to a human must have first been feeding upon a mole and for that reason "every effort is made to exterminate the moles. The victim of the spotted fever wastes away slowly, not being alarm ingly il'- apparently at anv time. His skin becomes a blotch of red spots and his flesh dries up. It Is said th-t spotted fever first made Its appearance In the Bitter Root valley In Montana, a stretch of country about 20 miles mlde on one side of this valley being the home of the perm. Scientists In the medical profession from all over the world visited this section of Montana when the disease first appeared, to study it but could find no remedy. Tiut today physicians say that if taken In time the disease Is not neces sarily fatal and the life of the patient ' can be saved by careful treatment. Put still it is more dreaded t&rm the rattlesnake In the Interior country where the victim is nearly always sev eral days Journey from a physician. Tvnipcrniure Hot, ami Only Slight Rainfall.

RIVER BOATS UNO ilROAOS " SHOULD UNITE POO TRAFFIC W. D. Lyman, of Whitman college, wtites of the question of river traffic and railroads for the Walla Walla Statesman, as follows: . , , It Is a narrow Idea held by some railway officials that the open river will diminish railway profit. It will Indeed loosen railway monopoly and that Is why we want It, But It will create more business for them In the e.id than It will destroy. The multiplied activities of thla rich re gion will seek outlets by both rail and river, and In the exercise of mei-. Just and normal methods than the paralvxing grip of a monopoly tha railways will find wholesomer and more legitimate profits. The example of the Ohio and Mis sissippi rivers proves this. Fiftv and 73 years ago It was nil steambontlng. Then came the great railroad age. Steamboats were drawn off, and many said they would abandon the field. But there has come another change. Steamboat traffic in the last decade has shown a vast Incrense. With rail roads on the banks, the steamboats have begun to pick up business to a vast degree, and a new era dawns on the transportation world. Now are the highways losing thereby? Rather the great Increase In business has In ured to the benefit of both water aim rail traffic. Columbia Our Mississippi. So It will prove on the Columbia. In many respects the Columbia will be a more significant factor here than the Mississippi there. Our nearness to the Pacific ocean, and the fact that the world's history In the next cen- the greatest ocean, gives the open Co lumbia a commercial, n political and n moral significance thnt we but dimly comprehend. Fortunate Indeed will we people of the Inland empire be If we grasp the mielity opportunity. Poor and un done. If through selfishness and petty scheming and divisions wo fall to take the tide "at the flood" ro that the after "current of our lives Is bound In shallows and In miseries." Hence. I say that the greatest way for us to secure great things that we want. Is to co-operate In every way with efforts made for the open river and connection with It. Hat Romantic History. This magnificent river, "The Achil les of Rivers," has had a strange and romantic history. Down Its foaming torrents and over its wide, blue lakes, passed the pirogues and butteaux of th fur companies. It was then the great channel of transportation. The ago of Immigration, with Its heroism, Its pathos, Its patriotism, Its high striving. Its advancement of the Star and Stripes and of the. American Meals that they symbolize to the shores of the Pacific, ts Indlssolubly associated with the barges and flat boats by which the pioneers entered the Promised Land of the Willamette valley. The river wna still the great rh-nilll. ' . T-" mining age of the 'Cfls witness - i -f. sfeanihont In place of the bat teaux and barge.

Walla Walla Will Put Chain Guns on Streets. If the plans of the police are car. rled out. Wallas Walla will have a chain gang, says the Walla Walla Bul letin. An effort Is being made by the officers to carry this plan Into oper ation and rid the city of the undesir able characters. At the same time It is desired to clean the city's streets and dispose 0f the dry grass and trash along the various walks of the city. The hohoes are a necessary pnrt of this scheme and they will be utilized. For some time past the police hav had much trouble from the men who never work, hut lay around the streets begging and looking for a night's lodg ing in the city Jail. When these char acters are run In they invariably ex pect to be turned loos the next morn ing only to ply their trade again. Spokane Is not bothered to any ex tent by these characters, and for tho simple reason that there Is a chain gang in working order and to which the vags are sentenced. There seems no excuse , for a man not obtaining work during the present season, and the police have determined to find It for them. ! ; ; I - t "...'.; :....!'. .
