Portland. Ore., Feb. 16 (Special)
Not only in Oregon, but in all parts
of the country, the Government has
inaugurated a movement to secure
work for the unemployed and to fur
nish men or women to farmers and
other employers outside the cities.
It Is a common sight to see men
standing around the streets In town
at all seasons of the year who would
he glad to go out into the country
and go to work if they only knew
just where to go and could he certain
that the job would be there when
they arrive. John H. Barbour, Uni
ted States Inspector, Oregon Immi
gration Service, has started to list
applicants for positions of all kinds
and is anxious to receive applications
for help from employers of all class
es. Every applicant for work will be
given a thorough examination as, to
his qualifications and no man will be
sent out for any specific line of work
unless he Is fitted for it, thus leav
ing no room for the annual complaint
that farmers are supplied with lab
orers who know nothing of farm
work, at a time when the farmer is
too busy to teach them. The first
day the office was open more than
100 applications for work were re
ceived, and as there are no fees or
other expenses connected with the
service, It is expected that enough
men will be available at any time to
fill all possible demands.
, held immediately after the close of
the legislative session. Mr. Kichard
jsun has issued an appeal to all who
iiire Interested, asking them to Rive
the ma'ler careful consideration and
to work up a community sentiment in
its favor.
T!'e commercial clubs of Polk
county have Issued a booklet to be
distributed at the Panama-Pacific
Exposition at San Francisco. The
advantages that county offers in the
lilies of agriculture, fruit growing
and manufacturing are set forth in
detail and many illustrations will
give the reader a good idea of the
characteristics of the county. In ad
dition, the county will have at the
Exposition a very complete exhibit
representing all lines of industry.
Another movement operating
along somewhat similar lines, but
with the idea of assisting the would
be farmer to get land Instead of work
Is now being discussed under the
leadership of Tom Richardson, the
founder of the Oregon Development
League, with the purpose of evolving
some feasible plan for financing the
small farmer, dairyman or gardener
who lias the Inclination and the abil
ity to get back to the land and make
a success, but who Is financially un
able to do so. Educators and busi
ness men are decidedly in favor of
the scheme and it is probable that a
convention for Its discussion will be
On February 27 Albany will hold
a general "Sales Day." This is to be
done for the purpose of bringing the
farmer and the merchant closer to
gether along business lines. There
will be an auction of farm produce
and stock, conducted without expense
to the farmer, the Albany Commer
cial Club making all arrangements
and a well known auctioneer donat
ing his services. Local stores will
stage special sales for that day, and
if the scheme proves successful, it
will become a regular event. It is a
good plan. and should be followed by
other cities.

The following article on rabies is
taken from a bulletin sent out by the
state board of health:
Rabies has again made its appear
ance in Oregon after a period of com
parative inactivity of several months.
Six people have undergone treat
ment with anti-rihic virus in the of
fice of the State Board of Health.
Rabies Is a specific infectious dis
ease common to all mammals, but,
contrary to popular belief. Is not en
tirely a disease of warm weather.
Ninety-five per cent of all cases are
the result of the bite of a dog. The
cat comes next with three per cent,
and the remaining two per cent are
the result of accidental Innoculations
in scratches and saliva. It is a fact,
however, that owing to the ralgra
tory instincts of the dog, and from
the further fact that in warm
weather the period of incubation is
probably shorter, the disease Is fre
quently more prevalent in the sum
mer season.
The disease is prevalent in all
parts of the United States, but Ore
gon, Washington and the northwest
territory were exempt until two years
ago, when cases occurred In the dis
trict east of the Cascade Mountains,
and at that time the carriers were
the coyotes.
Theoretically rabies ought to be
the most easily controlled of all epi
demic or contagious diseases, but
practically it is the most difficult, as
was instanced in the City of Port
land last fall in the half-hearted at
tempt to enforce the muzzling law.
W.e difficulty lies in the lack of uni
formity of rules and regulations, the
fear of political influences, and the
idiotic sentimentality of the so-called
"animal lovers," the ridicule in the
public press, and, far too frequently,
the idiotic and ignorant antagonism
of the physician who has never seen
a case of the disease and therefore
denies its existence.
In the country all the untagged,
unmuzzled dogs should be destroyed.
The reason for extending the quar
antine into the country is from the
fact that one of the first symptoms of
rabies in a dog is his tendency to
wander away from home. Dogs
have been known to travel a distance
of fifty miles, snapping at every liv
ing object. The dog inflicting the
damage in Clackamas County was
one that had never been seen in that
community before biting a little girl
on the forearm as she entered the
gate at her own home, afterward bit
ing two calves and a pig in the yard.
All of these animals have died of the
disease. '
Symptoms of Rubles in a Dog.
1. The first symptom is a change
in the dog's disposition; usually it
becomes more sullen.
2. Restlessness, growing into a
tendency to wander away. Two of
the people who were bitten in Port
land were from their own dogs
household pets -that had returned
home bedraggled and covered with
mud and mire, evidence of having
been on a long run, and when their
mistress attempted to give them a
bath they were promptly bitten.
3. A tendency to snap or bite
anything that moves, often develop
ing into a perfect fury.
4. Refusing food and usually
drink, but may attempt to eat in
digestable objects like stones, leather
dirt, etc. A rahid dog, during the
early stages of the disease, can drink
water, and the word hydrophobia is
really a misnomer.
6. A change cf voice. The voice
becomes a hoarse, high-pitched sort
of half bark and half howl.
6. A tendency to tremor, with a
possible blindness of the right eye,
exceeding irritability, with a grad
ually increasing pnralysis, usually be
ginning in the left hind leg, and be
coming total and ending in dyspnoea
or death.
7. A rabid clog does not froth at
the mouth and does not always have
fits. Setting a pan of water in front
of him, and expecting, as is the pop
ular belief, that he will "throw a fit"
for diagnostic purposes, is an error.
These are the symptoms of furious
rabies. In dumb rabies the lower
jaw is paralyzed early and drops
down. The animal acts as though it
had a foreign body in its throat, and
persons are frequently innoculated in
attempting to remove an imaginary
bone.
The symptoms in nil other animals
are somewhat similar. Some animals
strike, others butt. Rabid horses
strike with their front feet, while
others bite. Rabid cows usually butt
and a cat with rabies is more vicious
than any other animal. When par
alyzed it will crawl along and vicious
ly bite at anything that moves. One
that was recently killed by a police
officer In the City of Portland had at
tempted to bite all the members of
the family, and was biting and
scratching the bricks in the fireplace
at the time it was killed. The ques
tion is often asked:
How long will a dog live with
rabies?"
The period usually varies from
forty-eight hours to eight or nine
days, and any dog living after a per-
od of ten days, you can be assured
did not spffer from the disease. The
average length of time that all of
the animals that have developed the
disease here has varied from three
to five days after the first s;-m(iUmi

least to appreciate the gravity of the
situation, and by hearty co-operation
with the city authorities and with
the various county and city health
officers throughout the State, backed
by ample authority and co-operation
from the city and county authorities
outside Multnomah, we will be able
to handle a condition that unless ac
tive measures are taken at once, bids
fair to be serious.
In a letter to The Gazette-Times,
relative to a pig being afflicted with
hydrophobia, Dr. Calvin S. White
says, "the ordinary period of incuba
tion is about three weeks and from
that time up to Beveral months, and
the animal should never bt lestroyed
as death always ensues within two or
turee days and an examination of the
brain would then prove whether the
animal was infected with the disease.
Killed prior to that time, and partic
ularly if shot through the brain, it
becomes a matter of guess work."
