When warm, moist, and “ muggy”
weather comes in our cities, we
speak of it as disease-breeding
weather, and this probably more
aptly describes tbe conditions then
anything else. But such disease-
breeding weather would have uo
injurious effect upon our health if
the germs of disease we: e not al­
ready scattered around. Sometimes
a few days of warm dry weather,
followed by wind, will produce the
right conditions to fill the air with

Mads a Serious Mistake.
Tbe Oregon Senate made a mis­
take yesterday iu defeating the
direct primary bill. It was a ser­
ious mistake. Although some dem­
ocrats voted against tho proposed
measure, and the favorable action of
even one o f them would have se­
cured its passage, the majority party
will be blamed for tbe defeat of tbe
bill. The matter will be referred to
over and over again in future cam-
The people of Oregon are struggl­

preliminaries thereto. In some wav

will work themselves free. It may

But they will do it Depend upon
that. These men in the Oregon
Legislation at this time who are
trampling down the rights and de­
mands of tbe people are making
their last play in this state for a

Homesteaders Won-
A question which has been in con­
troversy for many yearo has at last
beeu won by a settler who has had
the nerve to stay with his place. At
the time the Northern Pacific rail­
road was built through the North­
west there were many settlers farm­
ing little places within the limits of
the grant. Somo of them had been
there for year waiting the time that
the land should be survoyed and the
government should allow them to file
their homestead upon it When the
railroad lino was located the com­
pany filed a map of general location,
claiming all that adjacent to their
road.
Tho government compelled them
to file a map of definite location cov­
ering each tract claimed by them.
This they did, but in doing so many
of these little farms, of course were
covered. Some of the settlers were
scared and purchased the land from
tbe railroad, others preferred to
abandon it altogether, while still
others stayed by what they believed
were their rights and made applica­
tion for patents, and claimed this
right by virtue of prior settlement.
They were on the land before the
lailroad filed its map of definite lo­
cation with the government. This,
of course, caused a legal fight and
for many years test cases on this
questiou have been dragging their
way through the department and
the courts, to be finally settled in
the United States supreme court
last week in favor of tbe farmer.
This decision will lift the load from
the shoulders o f many a settler and
enable him to obtain title to bis
land, so that be can either sell it,
borrow money on it to improve it or
live in peace on bis own unincumb­
ered. Tbe decision affects all land-
grant roads.
One of tire most satisfactory so­
lutions to tho dust problem comes
from Germany, whore a number of
chemists have been making exton-
sivo experiments with the germs
collected from tbe dust of Berlin
and Vieanna. By sprinkling chem­
icals of a powerful nature in the
streets onee a week, or once every
fortnight, all disease germs are de­
stroyed. These chemicals disinfect­
ant of the streets, or as they might
rnoro properly be called, insecti­
cides, aro prepared for ordinary dis­
ease germs that are found in the
dusts of streets, but there are other
mixtures suited to specially virulent
disease germs that may occasionally
find their way into particular streets
or cities. In this way it is sup­
posed that there wonld be little
danger of the diseases spreading
further by means of the dust. There
is every reason to believe that in
many of our disease epidemics the
dust-laden wind has beeu an effec­
tive agent in carrying them from
one street or town to another.
Sometimes the clouds of dust have
been blown several hundred feet

F a Patient
Hearing.
After a patient hearing of evi­
dence in the contention between
the coal miners and operators, cov­
ering a period of fifty days, tbe
Coal Commission has completed
this stago of the exacting duty to
whioh it was appointed, and will
now listen for an indefinite time to
the summing up and pleadings of
the attorneys in the case. The pub.
lie followed the ovidence for a time
closely and with interest, but tbe
recital became little more than stale
repetition, and interest (not in the
case, but in th e testimony) waned,
until latterly it has been practically
lost sight, of by the masses. Now,
however, that the testimony is all iD,
a renewal of public interest may be
expected. The people from the
first gave sympathetic ear to the
grievance of the striking miners.
That tbe protest of these men
against many of the exactions and
rules of their employers waaNvell
founded was apparent to many men
who did not necessarily approve of
the methods taken ' to correct the
abuses of which complaint was
made. The stubborn stand taken
by the operators in refusing to com­
promise the differences of which the
strike was tbe result increased pop­
ular sympathy for the strikers, and
the efforts of the latter, through
their leaders,to suppress lawlessness
and prevent an idle host from
breaking out into violence tended
further in the same direction. Tbe
case was, indeed, practically pre­
judged by the r miners up to the
time that the commission began its
sittings. The conflicting testimony
submitted has tended to confuse
rather than to clear the case, but
through it all a discerning public
has not lost sight of the fact that a
real grievance underlies tho strik­
er’s plaint.
It has been shown, however, by
tho testimony of many veracious
witnesses that the miners generally
have reached the point where their
attitude toward life, xis it presents
itself to them in their vocation, is
no of bitter discontent. In this
jood their demands upon the op­
erators, whose attitude is in turn
arrogant, are not made in a spirit of
reasonableness. From their stand­
point, no doubt, these demands are
just, but if all that is asked were
allowed, they would still be unhap­
py in tho vocation from which they
cannot escape because unfitted for
any other. If by somo process of
social alchemy—simple or myster­
ious— discontent that is grounded
in the necessity of labor could be
transformed into a willingness to
labor, asking only humane treat­
ment ad a wage scale commensurate
with the laborer’s earnings; and
avarice that seeks inordinate profits
upon investments could be trans­
formed into a disposition to be sat­
isfied with reasonable returns, the
troubles, not only in the coal nines,
but iu the industrial world general­
ly, would soon reach amicable ad­
justment, and that without stren­
uous effort to reconcile otherwise
irreconcilable differences.
Since
this is not possible, wo can hardly
expect that the Coal Commission,
with all of its painstaking effort,
will leave the matters at issue be­
tween miners and operators any
better than it found them, except as
it may be considered a gain to stifle
discontent, on tbe one hand, for a
time, and temporarily put a check
upon arrogance upon tbe other.
The strike, interrupted by the
appointment of this commission, is
practically ended, but the findings
of the commission can hardly be ex­
pected to prevent a recurrence of
strikes iu the coal regions, since it
will be unoble to eliminate from tbe
situation the elements of discontent
and avarice upon which they feed.

Held Up The Train-
Butte, Mont., Feb. 12.— Tho
Northern Pacific train was held up
oiglit miles from here shortly after
midnight. Two me«, with lighted
lanterns gave the danger signal.
The train stopped, and the engineer
and fireman were held up and com­
pelled to uncouple the mail and ex­
press cars and run two miles. The
robbers exploded dynamite. No de­
tails have been received from tho
scene of tho explosion. A posse
has gone in pursuit of the robbers.
Tho express car is currently be­
lieved to have contain a great
amount of treasure, but the officials
aro reticent. The train was the
Burlington express running over
the Northern Pacific tracks.
A
posse from Deer Lodge with blood
hounds have gone to the scene.
Tbe Northern Pacific offers $5,000
for the arrest and conviction of the
entire gang or $1,000 for each one.
The railway men say there were
five in the gang.
There are conflicting reports as
to the amount of money in the ex­
press.
The messenger says the
robbers could not have got to ex­
ceed $500; other sources considered
authoritive, sny at least $5,000.
When the hold-up came the mes­
senger threw one package behind a
rack. The train men showed fight
and the mail clerk was wounded.
Division Superintendent Boyle was
on the train and ran forward, but
was afraid to shoot for fear of bit­
ting his own men in the darkness.

The tendency of medical science
is toward
preventive measures.
Tho best thought of the world is be­
ing given to the subject.
It is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure.
It has been fully demon­
strated that pneumonia, on6 of tho
most dangerous diseases that medi­
cal men have to contend with, can
be prevented by the use of Cham­
berlain’s Cough Remedy.
Pneu­
monia always results from a cold
or from an attack of influenza(grip)
and.it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency
of those diseases toward pneumohia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds nnd grip
in recent years, and can be relied
upon
with implicit
confidence.
Pneumonia often results from • a
slight cold when no danger is ap­
prehended until it is suddenly dis­
covered that there is fever and
difficulty in breathing and pains in
tbe chest, then it is announced that
tho patient has pneumonia. Be on
the safe aide and take Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold
is contracted.
It always cures.
