CITY ENJOYS
GOOD HEALTH
City Physician Says Last
Year Was Remarkable
for Few Sick Cases.
CONTAGIOUSDISEASESFEW
Jio Cnso of Scarlet Fever, Dlptlitlicr
lu or Measles Reported und IjCss
Tlum Score of Persons Contract Ty
phoid In Last Six Months.
-'"The past year has been one of the
Tnost remarkable from the standpoint
of health in the recent hlHtory of the
city," said rr. D. J. McFaul, city phy
sician this morning when asked re
garding the prevalence of contagioUH
diseases In Pendleton. "Never at
any time during the last seven
years has there been so littlo ty
phoid fever and other Infectious dis
eases reported to me and I firmly be
lieve that Pendleton Is one of tho
healthiest Uttlo cities in the country."
Confirming Ills statement, the city
physician gave a few facts and figures
relative to the prevalence of these dis
eases. Not a single case of scarlet
fever, measles or diphtheria was re
ported during tho summer and fall
.and the number of cases of typhoid
fever were astonishingly small, he
said. "In the past six months," he
declared, "less than twenty cases of
this disease have been reported to me
and a great many ot there were from
outside the city. I do not know to
what we owe this freedom from dls
caso but certainly tho ideal summer
and fall weather was a factor. Also
I know that since tho present sewer
system has been Installed, tho number
of cases of typhoid has grown pro
gressively smaller,"
One case of chicken pox has been
reported recently, I)r. McFaul states,
tut It was In a very mild form and
did not require the services of a phy
sician. Pneumonia is attacking a
good many residents right now, ac
cording to him, but as that disease Is
not Infectious statistics have not been
kept.
Not only Is Pendleton Messed with
freedom from disease this year but the
whole of Umatilla county is enjoying
tho same health, declares Dr. Mc

OCCUPY ONE GRAVE
Chehalls, Wash.; Nov. 3. The char
red blackened bones of five ot the
young women victims of the Imperial
Powder Works fire horror, of Wed
nesday, will tomorrow be buried in
one grave in the cemetery at this
place. The one grave was decided

The remains are those of Miss Vera
Mulford, Eva Gilmore, Bertha Crown,'
Pertha Hagle and Sadie Westfall. The

of the fire will never be known and
a coroner's jury has exonerated the
company, owning tho destroyed plant,
