HEALTH CONDITIONS IMPROVE GREATLY IN MEDFORD
City Health Officer Stearns Shows
Less Thau Half the Illness Hero in
1911 That Prevailed In Previous
Year.
Improved health conditions in Med
fold are indicated by the anuitul re
port of City Health Officer Slearas.
lu his report he shows that less than
half the illness has prevailed the past
year that previously existed, duo to
the line oily water and sewer systems,
Dr. Stearns says in pari;
Situation Much Hotter.
"The situation is far bettor than
a year iiko. At that time less t lin.it
half the physicians wero reporting
ami uaraiitiniuK contagious diseases
and they only partially. This year
practically every physician has been
reporting faithfully. Tho data below
will show the great decrease in con
tagious diseases for 1011, when prac
tically all eases wero reported for tho
whole year, in Mroug contrast with
Iho year JDOl), when only half tho
physicians wero reporting. Thoro wero
no reeords kept for 1010.
"KeooriN for lull; Scarlet fever,
.r cases; typhoid fever, 17 cases 'because repeated written and verbal
diphtheria, II ciii; tuberculosis, 11 notices to the eliainuiin of the trus
tees were disregarded. These anil
similar instances have hindered mo
from doing more in other lines',
(looil (tarliage System.
"An up-to-date uarbago system has
been secured for the oily, with closed
wagons, regular routes, closed cans
at each house and disposal grounds
outside the city limits. While this has
done very well for a beginning, wo ox
pect to see it perfected during 1.1)12.
Kverywhoro tho garbage is not burned
the house must have and use u closed
garbage can. No other than oertilled
licensed wagons are to bo allowed and
some adequate plan is to bo provided
for disposal of rubbish as well us
garbage. Some regulation must ho
imposed upon careless owners of
barns and poultry yards.
"In caring for the city poor I have
been very careful to guard the city
treasury against imposition by float
ing "hoboes" ami others not needing
or deserving city help. How well 1
have done this the records will show.
I do not consider it tho function of a
city the sixo of Medford to euro for
a great many of tho indigent poor,
but, where urgent eases have arisen
eases; measles, JJ cases. Total, lib
"Records for UHU): Scarlet fever,
fit eases; typhoid fever, III cases;
measles, .VJ eases; whooping cough, J
eases; tuberculosis eases not report
ed, estimated only, lo. Total, lol.
"Allowing for cases not repotted
during 111011 we have a decrease of
fiuvernl hundred per cunt. There is
no reason why lOl'J may not see a
still greater decrease.
Property Owners Tartly.
"All wo need now to muko epi
demic practically impossible in our
midst is an ediieativo oatupaigu lo
inform tho people nnd tnuko them
realize their equal responsibility with
the doctors.
"Some of the huer properly own
ers have given me n groat deal of an
noyance and have taken up much
valuable time on account of their de
linquency in putting their rented
property in a safe and sanitary con
dition. In two instances it was
necessary to threaten those owners
with arrest, lu nimthor case it was
necessary to condemn." and forbid the
use of some property belonging to
ono of the strongest and most highly
respected fraternal orders of our city
Many people are becoming some
what perturbed becauso of what may
seem to them to bo a very unusually
small amount of rainfall this season,
when, as a matter of fact, tho amount
of rainfall to dato Is but 2.53 Inches
loss than tho average for tho past 23
years.
Tho total amount of rainfall from
September 1, 1911, to January 31,
1911, as reported by Prof. O'Gara, In
chargo of tho government weather
bureau In Medford, was 8.70 Inchos,
while tho average for this Batno pu
riod for tho past 23 years was 11.23,
leaving this season short only 2.53
Inches on an nverago for all theso
years.
Thoso who havo lived In southern
Oregon longest and havo given its
rainfall tho closost attention aro In
no wlso apprehensive lost this or any
other season will not cotno up to a
reasonable nverago.
DRRLI.V, Feb. 7. Approprlatlono
for a greater army and navy woro
demanded by Emperor William today,
when, helmet on head. iie'Iri person
opened the rclchBtag, tho 13th as
sembled since tho foundation of tho
German empire. After asserting his
desire to augment tho welfare of all
classes of German pcoplo and main
tain tho strength and prcstlgo of tho
nation, Kmperor William appealed to
tho new parliament for loyal adher
ence to tho financial policy now In
force, adding that ho believed this
would result In tho Imperial finances
soon being on a sound basis. Tho
omperor said in part:
"For tho success of our work of
peaco at home and over the seas tho
empire must remain powerful enough
to defend at all times its national
honor and its possessions as well as
Its just interests in tho -world. It la
therefore xny constant duty and caro
to maintain and strengthen both on
land and on sea tho defcnslvo power
of tho German people, which does not
lack young men capablo of bearing
arms. Measures with this end in vlow
are In preparation and will bo sub
mitted to you, together with tho pro
posals for covering tho additional
costs. Iu helping this Important
work you will bo greatly serving tho
fatherland."
Representatives of the social dem
ocrat party wero conspicuous by
tholr absence. Although they com
prise moro than one-fourth of tho
membership of tho house, not a so
