PREVENTION BEST
DECIDES
COUNCIi
ONLY ONE CASE OF DIPHTHERI A
BUT STRICT QUARANTINE
ENFORCED.
Acting on the principle that an
ounce of prevention Is worth a
pound of cure the city council, Mon
day night, acted as a public health
board, as provided by the laws of
1905, appointed Dr. C. T. Hockett
public health officer and instructed
him to forbid all public gatherings
of any kind until January 4. This
was done wholly as a precautionary
measure, as there Is but one case of
diphtheria In town, and It is under
close quarantine together with every
one who is suspected of having been
exposed.
O. H. Brady, a young mechanic, is
ill of diphtheria reports County Phy
sician E. T. Anderson. His father,
Thomas Brady, dlad of the disease
at Promise two weeks ago, and O.
H. went to see him, the nature of
the disease being then unknown. Dr.
Anderson stated to council that he
disinfected Brady before leaving
Promise and also after arriving at
Enterprise, but ths young man took
down with the disease Saturday.
Strict quarantine was at once estab
lished and it is hoped and believed
there will be no spread of the con
tagion. Just, at this time of year there
are so many public gatherings where
children attend It was deemed
wise to run no risk, so all were
prohibited. Children under sixteen
are also forbid being oa the streets.
The schools are closed until Janu
ary 4. There would have been the
usual holiday vacation in the high
school anyway, but none was plan
ned In the public schools.
The Christmas entertainments are
postponed, not abandoned, and Santa
Claus will make the rounds of every
home on Christmas day. The enter
tainment by ' Eugene Knox and the
New Years Eve ball cannot be held.
The council acted as above stated
in response to a petition signed by
64 citizens including nearly every
business man in town, who took the
oroad view of public welfare before
private Interests, So far there
seems to have been no effect on
business for the stores are thronged
all day with Christmas shopper?.

Naomi, the three year old daughter

Council Considers )
Water Works Plans
Estimates for System Submitted by
Engineer Lowry From
$23,500 Up.
The plans and specifications for
the water works, prepared by R. K.
Lowry of the American Light and
Water company, were submitted to
council Wednesday night. They are
complete In every detail as far as
can be discovered by persons not
engineers.
With the plans were submitted es
tlmates, ranging from $28,500 to $32
000, according to the size of pipe
used in bringing the water from the
springs to, town, and also partly de
pendent on the location of the rea
ervoir.
The plan meeting with most favor
provides for a 6-inch supply pipe,
which running full would carry
enough water for a town of 4000 in
habitants on the basis of a per cap
ita consumption of 123 gallons verj
24 hours.
By resolution It. was decided to
hire a competent engineer to go
over the plans and estimates, and to
assist the council In arriving at a
decision In regard to the contract.
