Short Epidemic Catches
Many People in Heppner
What is said by Dr. A. H. John
ston, city health officer, to have
been an epidemic of food poisoning
was prevalent In the city Sunday.
Between seventy-five and one hun
dred people are estimated to have
fallen victims to the malady. So
far, evidence of only one attack can
be seen, says the doctor, and it has
been impossible to trace the origin.
""That the cases all came from one
source seems highly probable, due
to the simultaneous sickness, and it
may have been caused by impure
water, milk or some other article of
food that was partaken of generally,
probably at the evening meal Sat
urday, as the first symptoms com
ing to light were noticed Sunday
morning." This is the doctor s opin
ion, based on such facts as have
come to his attention. Various
symptoms have been reported, all
of which, he says, point to food
poisoning. .
People are prone to blame such
-attacks on the water. It may have
Deen mat tne water was temporar
ily contaminated, affecting a large
number of people at the same time,
the doctor said. But, presuming It
was the water, only a . temporary
contamination occurred or the out
break would have been more gen
eral with new cases developing,
which seems not to be the case.
A peculiar feature of the epidemic
according to Dr. Johnston, Is that
more adults than .children suffered
from the attack. He believes there
is no cause for alarm over the sit
uation. Most everyone affected was
well recovered after twenty-four
hours, though a few cases have
proved more serious.

SCHOOL BUILDING BURNS.
Frank Turner was in receipt of
the news on Saturday that the big
high school building at Monument
was on fire, and the result was that
the building was entirely gutted.
The structure was of stone and the
walls remain intact, and may prove
to be of sufficient strength to stand
reconstruction. The fire was re
ported to have started from the ex
plosion of a gasoline lantern which
was being used in' the basement of
the building while work of prepar
ing for the opening of school was
under way. The district was amply
protected by insurance, Mr. Turner
states, one of his companies having
the coverage. The loss will be ad
justed this week, so we are In
formed. ARICULTURAL ANNUAL OUT.

Cites Need for New
Wheat Classification
'Despite the fact that between 25
and 30 per cent of the wheat acre
age in Oregon and a considerable
part of the crop in Washington and
California is white club, the federal
grade for white wheat provides no
class whereby the buyers who fre
quently want largely white club can
obtain it 'under the present grades,"
says G. R. Hyslop, professor farm
crops at the state college at Cor
vallls. When United States grades for
wheat were established they Includ
ed the classes white club and com
mon white. In the revision of the
grades these two classes were merg
ed into the class white wheat This
class was subdivided into the sub
classes hard white, soft white and
western white. '
"The subclass hard white includes
all lots of common white having
75 per cent or more of hard kernels
and not more than 10 per cent so
nora and white club, singly or In
combination," says Professor Hys
lop. "The subclass soft white in-
cludes all common white having less
than 75 per cent of hard kernels and
not more than 10 per cent of sonora
or white club, singly or in combina
tion.
'Western white under the present
grades includes all the wheat for
merly contained in the white club
subclass and in addition all the bad
mixtures between common white
and white club.
'I feel that there should be an ad
ditional subclass in the white class
called 'white club' which should in
clude at least 90 per cent white club
wheat and that mixtures of com
mon white and white club should
be designated under the western
white subclass. Buyers frequently
like to buy 100 per cent white club
wheat but cannot get it under the
present grades unless by special
contract"
