iVrtU:.! i nmkii g a ffood start
in takit. hold of the Lewis and
Clnrk centennial. It is a big prop
osition that will require iaot care
ful jnau'igemi?Et aLii the exercise
of po.vl judgment. The Evenitg
Telegram lee-atly eLt out in
qnirieti to diff-reut people to get
an expression of views n to how
much ill the exposition cost. A.
to the amount there is such a di
verst j-of opinion that the rephrs
really shov but very little light ol
the proposition. j?ouie of the
opinions are reckless and extrava
gant in the extreme. Ine incor
jHirators have fixed the amount at
?300.(00 to be raised by subscrip
tion in the city of Portland. This
is a reasonable amount and will
probably be subscribed. Senator
Fulton of Astoria, says that we
cannot reasonably ejpect the leg
islature of this state to appropriate
more than $100,000. It ia not
likelv that anv more than this will
be appropriated. It is safe to say
that S2.OO0,000 from congress will
be the outside figure, rather less
thwi more. With everything fa
vorable probably 2,600,000 can be
raised. The main question is, bow
much can ba raised. The question
of ooct come afterward and should
be figured accordingly. The
Oahtti believes that the Lewis
and Clark centennial at Portland
in 1905, ean be made a luceesa. ,
ting money is steadily itcressir. p.
the volume of bank exchange con
tinues to grow. These two facts
indicate clearly the general pros
perity of the country. The relia
bility of the postal money order
service is evinced in the trifling
character of the losses- Improper
payment made during a period of
two years have amounted only to
$172 45. The system is so hedged
around with safeguards that it is
almost if not quite perfect, and
the public confidence in it is com
plete. The eost of the service is
not great, but the aggregate rev
enue to the government from it is
important, amounting during the
last fiscal year to over 81.600.000.
IONE HAPPENINGS
The democratic Eat Oregonian
comes out for IL W. Scott, the
brilliant editor of the Oregonian,
for United State Senator. In a
recent issue the paper says: "The
East Oregonian wishes to say that
it is sincere in its advocacy of the
election of H. W. Seott, of the
Portland Oregonian, to succeed
Joseph .Simon in the United States
senate from Oregon, and will sup
port him for the position against
any man m Oregon, democrat or
republican, on the ground that
Mr. Scott is the fittest man for the
office, standing head andeboulders
above any other man in the state
as a representative of '"the Oregon
country' in the upper house of
oocgre.'-s. There ia no question re
garding Lisliitnes and ability, and
if he were elected, it would be
creditable to the people of the
state in the eyes of the people in
the whole nation. In short, the
office should seek the man in this
instance. Lt it be put on record , 1000. Inter-Ocean,
for all time that the democratic
East Oregonian is for H. V. Scott
fur United States senator in 1003.
and that it will have no other can
didate.'" Coming from a demo
cratic paper this sounda rather
queer, but still it Las an earnest
ring about it Mr. Scott ia a bril
limt man. but owing to Lis ag-gr-cive
manner ai.d from the fact
that he edits a fearless newspaper,
he Las en-rnies who will make a
hard fight to defeat Lim for sna
toiial honors.
DISEASES THAT KILL.
The census report on vital sta
tistics Bhows an increase in longev
ity in the United States. The av
erage age at death in 341 cities
representing a jx-ipulation of 29.
ihVi.OOO was 31 yesrs in lSl0 and
1(Vul T.. 1 Ja.1 t . J.-il
i' iu c""v'. in io.'u lue ueitiu
rate was 21 per lt)o0, and iu 1900
lS.ti per 1.0OO.
More iLterestiug than this gen
eral statement is the report as to
deaths from diseases most dreaded
by the people. Iu 1S90 the death
r:e per lOO.OoO from consumption
as 2i. diptheria 70, cholerain-f-intuin
79, broLchitis 74. croup 2",
ijpnoia it-ver 40, malarial lever
!.'. aud diarrheal diseases 101 In
1900 the death rate rate per 100,
000 was 190 from consumption. 35
from diptheria. 47 from choleia
infantum. 43 from bronchitis, 10
from croup, 34 from typhoid fever,
9 from malarial fever, and So from
diarrheal diseases.
In all these diseases the decrease
in the death rate is notable and is
due largely to preventive meas
ures and improved methods in
treatment. This is particularly
the case in consumption and
consumption and diptheiia. In
the former the sanitarium Jtreat-
meut, and Bimple precautions
taken by boards of health, have
bad most encouraging results.
In all diseases of infancy and
childhood there has been a de
crease of nearly one-half in the
death rate. In diseases of the
heart and kidneys and in pneu
monia and influenza there has
been a marked increase in the
death rate. The death rate per
100,000 for pneumonia was 186 in
1890, and 161 in 1900. For heart
disease the rate was 121 in 1890
and 134 in 1900; for apoplexy 49
in 1890 and 66 in 1900; for dis
eases of the kidneys, 59 in 1890
and 83 in 1900; for influenza. 6 in
1890 and 23 in 1900.
The report shows that pneumo
nia kills more people than con
sumption, that under the stress of
our modern life heart disease
stands third in the list of fatal dis
eases, and disorders of the kidneys
fifth- In greater New York the
death rate was 25 in IS'JO and 20
in 1900. In Chicago the rate was
19 in 190 and 16 in 19u0. In
Philadelphia the late was 21.3 in
lS00andL'1.2 in 1900. The low
est death rate in any large city re
