Borneo Not Yet Civilised.
Although civilization has made ex
cellent progress In some parts of the
East Indies, barbarous practices by the
natives on the Island of Borneo still
continue, according to O. K. Hoey, a
merchant of Beta via, Java. He said
that traders who visit Isolated sections
of Borneo found It necessary to re
main constantly alert In order to guard
against attacks by Dyttks, who, how
ever, are gradually being driven farth
er, inland.
"On the Island of BaU the men still
load themselves op with many Jewels
and heavy chains as ornaments," he
declared. "The natives make good In
comes from their rice fields and traf
fic In pearls, but until a short time
ago the sight of an automobile caused
great amazement"
8alt Water Natives Who Wage An AU
most Constant War on Solomon
Head Hunters.
Built up artificially on reefs or
sandy pits, numbers of miniature is
lands dot the tranquil waters of shel
tered coves among the Solomon Is
lands, Gertrude Emerson writes In
A.slu Magazine. Here live, separate
from the head hunters who Inhabit the
uiiheulthful mangrove swumps iind un
dulutlng grasslands ot the interior or
the lofty spurs running down to the
sea, a salt-water people more or less at
enmity with the bushmen. Yet these
salt water people are as fond of their
fruits and vegetables, for which there
is no room on their nurrow, crowded
Island, as the Junglefolk are of their
fish. Truce Is declared on regular bi
weekly market days 'and on neutral
territory along the coast the women of
both peoples meet and do their bar
gaining. The dwellers on the artificial
Islands are skillful in all things per
taining to the sea, especially la the
building and handling of canoes. For
upon this slender thread their exist
ence hangs. The elaborately carved,
crescent-shaped canoes may always
be seen plying busily among the is
lands. Frequently they are the only
sign of human habitation In a world of
otherwise empty sea and rooted palms.
When the Interminable circle of the
horizon softens and disappears and
the fever-laden evening mists creep in,
when the pale waters' reflect as In a
mirror the burnt-out sky of day, the
canoes, silhouetted against the lumin
ous water, elide swiftly to the method
ical beating of paddles, accompanied
by the low barbaric chanting of dark
skinned men, ,
At the request of tho chairman of
the 'Red Cross and a number ot
prominent business men ot the city,
whose business suffered as a result
ot the report in Tuesday's Courier,
I corrected the statement "that there
are now 128 cases in the county." I
gave the tacts exactly as Dr. Smith's
records showed them, .which Is the
only record kept, and 1 had no Idea
of entering into a discussion or a
mud slinging contest, but since that
seems to be the doctor's chief stock
In trade, I am once more compelled
"to go to press."
Dr. Smith's latest Is Just as tar
from the true situation as his pre
vious effort to keep business away
from Sixth street. Ills records
showed, at the time he reportod to
the Courier on Tuesday 134 cases
since the beginning of the epidemic;
with 51 cases when he reported, as
occurring since November 28th. He
evidently has received some reports
since then. It Is true, the Courier
did not print the report Just as Dr.
Smith gave it to them as he report
ed 60 cases since last Friday and at
the editor's request, and to avoid a
mistake he had the doctor re-read
the figures to him. I overheard the
report and corrected it myself be
fore it was published.
I heartily agree with the idea that
the medical profession should try to
protect the people against contag
ious disease as well as treat thorn
after they have acquired It, and with
that object in view I Insisted that
the city schools remain closed when
the county health officer lifted the
ban In the country. To further as
sist In preventing the spread of the
Influenza I gave vaccine to 157 peo
ple free ot charge; people who were
unable to pay my foe for vaccination,
and to a great many others who do
not believe in tipping fifty cents tor
a professional service people who
were willing to pay a reasonable fee
and he sure they would not develop
an Infected arm from a dirty cheap
needle. Realizing that the cheap
est Is not always the best.
I will admit nothing regarding the
three families mentioned In yester
day's article because I have never
attended any of them; neither have
they ever consulted me at my office.
So If the doctor means to Infer that
I have failed to report any of my
own cases he Is wrong again as
usual, so I am not In line as a vio
lator or the law, but I might ask
the doctor why he has not reported
his city cases to me as city health
officer? And why did he not report
the cases of mumps he attended last
summer, ahd quarantlno them to
protect the community? I also won
der If It has occurred to him that
he Is violating the law every time he
accepts his salary as county health
officer and when he was county phy
sician, Blnce no man can hold a leg
islative and administrative Job at
the same time according to the Ore
gon law. He should 'lie compelled
to return to the taxpayers of the
county all such money paid him.
(Ref. Gibson vs. Kay, 68 Ore. 589.)
I It certainly Is unbecoming any
member of the medical profession to
commercialize an epidemic, and we
all know what the surgeon general
did to Dr. Smith's attempt to stimu
late his country practice 'by opening
the schools before the flu was under
control. It Is also unbecoming a med
ical man to knock other members
ot the fraternity, and It Is unbe
coming a gentleman to une the dirty,
foul, abusive 'profanity Dr. Smith Is
frequently heard using with refer
ence to a fellow practitioner.
I still maintain that what we need
most is a true statement of how
many cases there really are when a
report Is made, and not how many
there have been, because they re
cover In four or five days to-a point
where they are no longer dangerous
to others. There were two new cases
reported to me yesterday. Avoid
crowds and avoid the influenza.

Waging War en the Rabbit
Australia has spent millions In fight
ing a pest of rabbits, for which a man
who turned loose three pairs of rab
bits In New South Wales, In 1800, Is
responsible, and which has made nec
essary a woven-wire fence 1,200 miles
long, shutting oft the fertile agricul
tural regions from the central and
eastern semi-desert areas, where rab
bits most abound. We have a few
rabbits In onr own country west of the
Rockies. According to the biological
survey of the department of agricul
ture, fully 200,000,000 wild rabbits are
annually killed In this country, yet
men touring across the continent In
variably speak of the number of rab
bits seen.
