tendency of the disease, measles, a

being treated here. Is attacking
adults, seemingly in preference to
children, local physicians assert, al
though a number of infantile cases
have also been reported.
In the form in which It is being
manifested in Bend, measles is not
highly contagious, it is stated, and
physicians have no fear of the ail
ment becoming epidemic. The type
of the disease which might have ser
ious results, it is declared, has not
appeared here.
The recent change In weather con
ditions, has brought with it a num
ber of cases of illness among chil
dren in the city schools. Reports
were current today that several were
suffering from diphtheria, but the
records of the city health officer,
where all such cases must be report
ed according to the state law, proved
the falsity of the rumor.
