Albert Toizer, secretary of the Ore

rather unique exhibit which will con
tribute not a little to the Interest of
Oregon's educational exhibit at the
World's Fair. His work consists of a
bound volume of the newspapers of Or
egon, and contains one copy each of
the more than two hundred publica
tions of the state. President Cottle, of
the Salem board of trade, yesterday
gave Superintendent Savage, of the ag
ricultural department, a fine collection
of Oregon grasses. The exhibit con
sisted of fifteen varieties, and will pre
sent a fine appearance along with the
other grains and grasses, etc. These
samples were very carefully selected,
and cared for. Mr. Savage also shipped
to Portland yesterday a very fine col
lection of grains and grasses collected
last year for the state fair and turned
over by the state board of agriculture
to the commission.

OUR WHALE FISHERY.
The Boston Advertiser says: "Our
whale fishery, which thirty-five or forty
years ago was of such great magnitude,
has dwindled down, to small propor
tions as compared to the past, and
where In 1854 we landed 70,696 barrels
sperm oil, 319, 837 barrels whale oil and
3,445.200 pounds whalebone, our catch
In 1892 footed up only 12, 944 barrels
sperm oil, 13,382 barrels whale oil and
369,885 pounds whalebone. The price
of these products, as compared with old
times, when these fisheries were at
their height, shows a large decline in
the value of oils, while whalebone, for
which there has been less chance to
procure 'fL substitute, has Increased
In avlue many hundredfold. In 1854
the average price of the year for sperm
oil at oil was 11.48 2-4 per gallon, with
whale oil at 68 B-8c., while wiialebone
averaged 39 l-4c. per pound. The
average price .for these products last
year was 67 l-2c. per gallon for sperm
oil, 42 l-2c. for whale oil and $5.35 per
nound for whalebone. The catch of
The following is an extract from a
lengthy and interesting article In the
last number of the Pacific Medical Re
cord, from the pen of Dr. J. A. Fulton
of this city. For the benefit of the
uninitiated it may be mentioned that
the disease spoken of as "Acute Phar
yngitis" ' is more commonly called
"sore throat."
During the past ten years of practice
on this coast, these are -the two dis
eases which have seemed to me to be
the most common, and the more I see
of each the more I am inclined to the
belief that the many symptoms pos
sessed In common by each is not merely
a coincidence, but goes to show that
notwithstanding the two diseases do
have some widely differing character-
lstics.it Is not Impossible that one and
the same germ may be the cause of
both. There is admitted to be close
resemblance existing between cuta
neous erysipelas and acute pneumonia,
but I believe there is a closer relation
ship existing between acute phar
yngitis and cutaneous erysipelas. I
have never seen the question raised
and only have my own observation
and experience to Judge from, but if
there is any truth in the proposition,
it is a question fraught with the great
est interest and of the most vital im
portance to the surgeon and obstetri
cian.
Medical writers speak of acute phar
yngitis , as being 'simple, ulcerative,
gangrenous, erysipelatous, etc., and
attribute the cause to traumatism, ex
posure to cold, or that it is epidemic
or endemic, I believe it has been
endemic In Astoria for at least ten
years, and is met with In all the forms
spoken of by medical authors. The dis
ease may or may not begin with a chill,
may or may not have a high fever;
tongue coated with dirty cream-colored
coat especially on its posterior
surface; tonsils swollen and red; soft
palate and uvula intensely ed and
congested; glands of neck always more
or less affected. ' '- Sometimes the tonsils
supurate or ulcerate and glands in
the neck may but rarely do superate.
There sometimes is a membrane cover
ing the tonsils and palate which is
white as snow and looks very much
like frost. This membrane disappears
in ten or twenty-four hours and leaves
the surface underneath as raw and red
almost as the granulations of a healthy
ulcer. "'
The object of this article is not alone
to show that pharyngitis Is not con
tagious or that it may possibly be due
to the same cause as is erysipelas; but
to lead the profession to realize the
possibility of contagion In many dis
eases heretofore considered non-contagious;
and further, to urge the sur
geon and obstetrician to realize the Im
portance of extreme caution In all thler
operations, when they are treating
the ordinary, simple ailments of man
kind; to realize that the germs present
in a simple, harmless disease may when
transferred to a surgical or obstetrical
patient, work damages undreamed of
and the carelessness In these simple
matters mght possibly account for ac
cidents that have been heretofore
unexplalnable, and were formally dis
missed from the minds, as cases of
spontaneous generation or accidents
due to unpreventable causes."

SOFUS JENSEN, Sec.
A LEADER.
The Astorian received yesterday a
pamphlet explaining what is known as
the Woods Road Improvement Plan.
It Is substantially as follows and opens
up much room for discussion. Very
few will deny that It contains much
that Is meritorious.
1 That the United States Government
shall pass an act authorizing the
Treasury Department to issue one, two.
and five dollar notes, to be stvled
United States Road Improvement
Notes," and to be convertible into coin
at the Treasury or sub-treasuries of
the United States. These notes shall
be issued to the extent of $66,875,000 per
year for four years, or, a.total issue of
two hundred and sixty-seven million
five hundred thousand dollars, which
amount equals one hundred , thousand
for each county in every State In the
Union which existed on January 1, 1893.
Should any Territory be admitted into
the Union as a State after the date
mentioned (January 1, 1893,)the coun
ties of such state shall be likewise en
titled to receive one hundred thousand
dollars each in four years, provided the
Secretary of Agriculture at Washing
ton shall consider their needs snfflcient
to warrant such an expenditure. Should
he,' after investigation, decide that a
less amount is sufficient, then they
shall only receive such an amount as
he " rec'uTflmends. This clause is so
guarded because a Territory, before
being admitted, might divide the dis
tricts Into very small counties, so as
to obtain an excessive allowance for
road Improvements.
z 'mere snail oe m every state a
first-class road engineer appointed by
the senate or legislature, with a com
petent Btaff, to prepare plans of the
principal roads, with power to alter the
course at desirable points. He, or his
assistants, shall be expected to Inspect
the construction and Improvements of
all county roads, bridges, etc., and con
suit with supervisors, county road en
gineers, or foremen in all mattersper-
taining to their improvement.
3 The county supervisors Bhall have
authority to appoint a road engineer
or competent person to" superintend
the improvement of all roads and
bridges in their respective counties,
They shall likewise buy or order all
material needed and control all labor
necessary for the Improvement and
keeping the roads of the county in
good repair. They, however, shall be
expected to consult with and conform
to the wishes of the state road engin
eor as to grades, routes, and the best
method of permanent improvement,
4 That the notes authorized to be
Issued by the Treasury la section first
shall be paid out In the following man
ner: The county supervisors shall make
out or caused to be made out at the
commencement of each year lists of
the Improvements contemplated to be
made during the year in their respect
ive counties with an estimate of the
the cost. Then they shall forward to
the state road engineer, who shall en
dorse one "approved" and file the
other in his office, without there are
objectionable features in them to which
he demurs. This approved list of im
provements ne snail forward as soon
as approved to the county treasurer,
who shall attach his warrant for the
amount of the estimated improvements,
which however, shall not exceed twenty
five thousand dollars per year for four
years.- This he shall forward to the
United States treasurer, who shall re
mit Vnlted States road improvement
notes, for the amount of the warrant
to the respective county treasurers.
to be paid out by them as per warrants
Issued by the supervisors for expenses
Incurred In improving the roads. It
should be understood that the county
receiving this allowance shall under
take to keep the roads In order.
