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.

The week was dry except Saturday,

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

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.

Just Received and More Coming.
Although my competitors have boycotted me and are doing
everything In their power to down me and keep me from buying
more furniture, I have Just received two carloads of now fur

have never been able to obtain, and not like my competitors. I
will glvo my patrons tho benefit of this great reduction.
If you are thinking of altering or sprucing up the home, and
do not feel like paying several prices for the new furniture, then
It will surely pay you to come nnd examine the new line I am at
