Lack of Exercise Causes Dis
ease Among Dumb Animals;
Dangerous to Public.
Comimirit frinii Wclni'stl;iyt August 6
Agreeing with the statement k.vch
out to the Democrat several -lays ao
by City 1 1 call h Officer Dr. VV. H.
Davis, If jc -t physicians who wc;c seen
this morning by a Dutuocr.'it repie
seutalive assertel that an ordipame
requiring ciwuers of dogs to muzzle
the animals during the hot weather
would he preferable to one now in
force in Albany.
Many citizens contend (hat the
(tiestion as to whether the dogs
should he tied up or muzzled, should
be left optional with the owners.
The following are the statements
given out by local members of the
medical profession, who were seen
by the Democrat:
Dr. Wallace: " There have been no
"mad" dons in Albany this year but
the practice of keeping them tied up
i i aliuoit certain to cause disease.
The muzzle should in my judgment
be substituted for the plan of keep
ing the dogs I iff I up."
Dr. Shinn: "When a dog is undu
ly restrained it is likely to produce dis
ease. Mi my judgment an ordinance
retiiiriiig dogs to be muzzled during
the hot weather would be preferrable
to the present plan."
Dr. Stark: "Medical authorities
are united in the opinion that the
muzzle is the only sensible solution
of the so called -dog question. Tie a
dog up continually and voit will soon
have an unhealthy animal. The dan
ger to the public conies from un
healthy dogs. In my opinion the
present ordinance should be re
pealed." Dr. Tracy: "Dogs are perfectly
safe when muzzled during the hot
weather. They are not when merely
chained. An unhealthy condition is
produced in an animal when he not
permitted to obtain exercise. Keep
ing Iheiu tied up continually may
produce fits or oilier forms of dis
ease. It seems to me that the pub
lic would be benefitted by adopting
the muzzle during the hot weather,
in preference to the present plan,
and that the dog is entitled to more
humane treatment than lie now re
ceives." Dr. Robnett: "There is no question
but what, undue confinement will
cause a dog to become cross and will
oftentimes produce disease. It is mv
opinion that dogs should be muzzled
and not tied up during hot weather.
The following interview was given
out to the Democrat on Aimust -lib
bv Dr. Davis, cilv health officer for
Albany: j
"In my judgment an ordinance re-i
quiring the owners of dot's to keep
the animals muzzled durimr the hot
weather would be preferable to i he
idea of keeping iheiu tied. When a
dou is tied up continually and there
by prevented from obtaining eercie,
this inav, and often is a contributing
cause of fits."
At: effort was made to get in touch
with other local physicians this after
noon but i''om called upon were not
in their offices.

week. A fe whundred sacks of bar
ley have been threshed and the own

will be used to hull clover as well as
thrashing grain.
Pall grain is now all in the shock
and will soon be ready for threshing.
Spring grain looks fine but the oats
are becoming rusted a little.
Clover seed is now about, readv
to be cut and from appearances will
yield a big crop.
Gardens are extra good and all
vegetables are plentiful, much of
which will go to waste for lack of
a ready markej. Farmers are very
busy now, they succeeded in getting
their hay cared for in good condi
tion and now for the' next month
they will be looking after the grain
harvest.
Pastures arc drying up very fast
and much of the stock will have to be
fed before the fields are opened.

LIGHTNING ALMOST CAUSES
FATALITY NEAR LACUB
Albert Downing While Working
in Field Was Shocked by
Flash.
I.actunb, Aug. o. Fatalities result
ing it mil tihlniug are rare occurrenc
es in ihc Willamette valley, but Al
beit Downing, mii ot T. M. Downing,
who own- a t.irm near l.acoinb, came
near being a victim of one of the rare
exceptions.
Mr. Downing, junior, in company
with a neighbor, Hainan liaiuc. was
woikii'g i?i a hav field on his lather's
farm l.it Friday afternoon when a
seven- Morni visited that section. In
a hmry to get the hav under cover
the husbandmen paid little attention
to the inclement climatic condition
until the lightning struck within a
tew feet from where the men were
working. Hoth of them are said to
have been more or les affected from
the sh k k but Mr. Down ing condi
tion seemed more serious, 1 U was
rendered suddenly unconscious and
i eni.iincd in this condition for some
time.
Probably the first person to be ap
pointed official precinct registrar m
I he state under the nrovisions of :i
new law passed by the last legislature,
reipiiring regi-trars in everv precinct,
is (mldia . Jones, of Shclburu pre
cinct, whose appointment has been
made by Couutv Clerk Marks. The
lady probably enjovs the distinction
of being the first woman in Oregon to
hold siu-h an office under the provi
sions of the woman suffrage act.
