PAGE FIVE RENEWED AS FISH Specialist Gives Facts for Early Diagnosis Disease Found Only in North west Area of Country Costner Accuses Touhy Gangsters As the fishing season near It brings consternation again to many dog owners, who have fears that their pets will become victims of salmon. i Because or this fact Dr. Phillips, new veterinarian of the Jackson County Humane society, and oper ator of the Rogue Small Animal hos pital at 1455 North Riverside, has prepared extensive information for release. The hospital Is fully equip ped to give all tests and microscopic examinations and the following are facts the specialist believes should be known to all dog owners: "Salmon poisoning Is a disease, the cause of which has not been definitely determined, though very ' extensive research indicates that It Is an organism possibly ultra-microscopic. "It is Interesting to note that this disease is found no place In the world except In western Oregon, southwest Washington and north west California. "The casual agent of the disease Is carried in one particular species of Intestinal fluke. The life-cycle of this fluke Is very complicated. One of Its stages Is found in a, species of snail, another stage in the form y of larva encysted In the organs and muscles of fresh water fish of the salmon family. This Includes the Chinook. Sllverslde, and dog sal mon, also the eastern brook, cut throat, rainbow and steelhead trout. The encysted flukes have not been found in the small mouth bass, smelt, sucker, chub, or sturgeon. "It would be difficult to believe that the fews dogs living along the ! Infested streams could contaminate ' them sufficiently to cause the large number of flukes which are present ! in practically every salmon or trout taken from these streams. Hence It 1 was learned tthat the coyote and fox may also be affected, and are prob- j ably the natural adult hosts of the parasite. Records show that this reg-; Ion must have been affected long before the arrival of the white man. I "It is usual to find large num- bers of cysts in healthy trout caught j In western Oregon streams. A six Inch trout caught on the Big Elk! river was found to have 168 para-i sites in the muscles of the eyeballs alone. A 4-inch cut-throat trout from Soap creek, near Corvallls, was found to harbor 14,062 parasites. Thus we can imagine the possible ) number In a heavily infested sal mon. "Research has proven that the casual agent Is not the fluke Itself but is harbored In the fluke. The blood from a dog sick with salmon poisoning will produce similar symp toms in another dog when injected Into its abdominal cavity. "Symptoms usually appear on the sixth or eighth day after eating the parasitized fish. The temperature usually rises one to three degrees before any definite symptoms appear. In most cases about 24 hours after this rise in temperature there Is a complete loss of appetite, accompan ied by marked depression. At the beginning of the disease the bowels eem somewhat sluggish. The tem perature drops gradually after the second or third day. There may be a alight discharge from the eyes. The eyelids and surrounding tlssuea well, giving the eyes a sunken ap pearance. There Is a very rapid loss in weight. The animals usually vomit persistently and show great thirst, but are unable to hold the water on their stomach. Diarrhea usually Vsets in on the fifth to ninth day. In the later stages of the disease the stools are heavily Impregnated with blood. The temperature may be down to normal on the fifth or eighth day. At this time the ani mal usually feels brighter and may even eat a little. This apparent Im provement Is of short duration Jn most Instances. In 34 hours more the temperature is usually sub-normal and the animal la scarcely able to stand. Most cases die on the sixth to tenth day after symptoms appear or from 12 to 20 days after eating parns Hired fish. "The mortality from salmon pois oning la very high. Those few which recover show these same symptoms, but benln eating about the seventh to tenth day. After the recovery from an attack they are Immune for the rest of their life. "Treatment Is very unsatisfactory. Ttr.c only serum which has been de veloped up to the present time comes -from the research laboratories of the Oregon agricultural experiment sta tion at Corvallls. Though this scrum if . IT net 4. i ft.

(As sociated Press Photo) Is an aid in treatment it la by no means specific. Another line of treat ment which .has given some recov eries Is the use of normal saline solution subcutaneously and glucose intravenously, thus, providing food and body fluid for strength and elimination until the animal can build up an immunity of its own. Salmon poisoning should never be positively diagnosed unless there Is a positive history of eating fresh fish, or the eggs of the fluke are found In the feces by mlcroscoplal examination. "A great deal more work needs to be done before there will be avall ! able sufficient knowledge concerning IS DESPITE SLIP Deficit Near Million Turned Into Surplus by Municipal Ownership- and Moderni zation of City Charter By Loufs Aslilock (Associated Press Staff Writer) SAN FRANCISCO. March 2. (AP) Through a period of economic stress San Francisco has achieved municipal prosperity. A deficit of $773,737 has been re placed by & surplus of (1,195.426. The municipal street car system, though faced with competition, has maintained Its carfare at five cents, the lowest in the country, and Is making a profit. Power Plant Profits Operating profit of nearly $2,000, 000 annually 1 shown by the city power plant. The municipal water system has contributed profits to the city treas ury, with lower rates in prospect. The municipal airport, although operating at a loss, has made great ' strides in development. All bond obligations .have been met on time, taxes have been reduced, 13,000 city employes have pever missed a payday and for four years, until recently unaided, the city has carried on unemployment relief. Like the "gold standard days" of prosperous years sound these facts in a summary of the situation to day by Mayor Angelo Rossi and Con troller Leonard Leavy. Municipal Ownership Aids Municipal ownership and a mod ern, business-like charter, under which the city government was re organized In January, 1032. are cred ited with making this possible. Under the charter many depart- j menu are controlled by a "chief ad- : mlnlstratlvo officer" appointed by j the mayor, while others are directly ' controlled by the mayor through ap pointive commissions. Stringent mon-', etary control is provided, prohibiting the spending of money unless It is In the treasury. Since the fiscal year of 1031-33 the tax rate has been red viced from M.04 on each 1100 of assessed value to! 83.48 this year. San Francisco has had - tax de linquency during the last three years varying from 8 8-10 per cent to slightly less than six per cent. Phone 542 We will haul away rout refuse.

When accur ate research can be done by men with adequate training and labora tory facilities we will then have a safe standard from which to work In Immunizing our dogs to salmon poisoning. The results so far attain ed are a wonderful tribute to the scientists at the Oregon agriculture experiment station at Corvallls. To them alone belongs the credit for the advances made In recent years In the control of salmon poisoning. IS Ti FOR FORUM LECTURE Members of the local power com pany's employes club, the Copco Forum, enjoyed an Interesting pro gram at their regular weekly lunch eon meeting Thursday. Motion pic tures of the Tucker motor sled were exhibited by E. M. Tucker, inventor of the sled, and manager of the Tucker Diesel Motor Company, Ltd., of Sacramento, Calif. Mr. Tucker is a former resident of Medford and made most of his) early models of this unique snow sled In this city. He also made num erous experimental trips with his sled in the vicinity of Union Creek and Crater Lake and the first motion pictures of the Tucker sled were taken near Union Creek by H. L. Bromley for the Copco news reel over four years ago. Mr. Tucker made a brief talk be fore showing the films to the Forum group and told some of the Inter esting mechanical features of his novel snow transport which ha ad vised would haul a load of 10,000 pounds. The pictures which were taken at Echo Lake, Calif., showed the Tucker sled in action, climbing steep grades and hauling heavy loads under various types of snow condi tions. In closing, Mr. Tucker snnounced that he planned to have several of these motor sleds here for the Crater Lake snow sports carnival on March 18, and Invited those present to see them "do their stuff at that time. Ben Wright of Sacramento, asso ciated with Mr. Tucker in the man ufacture of the motor sled, also made a few remarks on the subject and advised that the sled would be demonstrated at Crater Lake In the afternoon for Superintendent E. C. Solinsky and other officials of the national park service. Guests at the luncheon Included E. M. Tucker and B. O. L. Wright of Sacramento and W. Radcllffe of Medford.

I'm sorry I have to leave early but I really, really must. I had a grand time. (I suppose she thought we couldn't tell a "bargain counter" coffee by its taste. She wouldn't put tin-plated knives and forks on the table. But she would serve us a cheap coffee. Oh well.) Yes, I'll see you soon, darling. I want you and Harris to have supper with us soon. (When she comes to my house I'll serve her Hills Bros. Coffee and give her a real treat. Too bad she doesn't realize that even though you buy coffee by the pound you drink it by the cup. Hills Bros, always tastes bet ter and is really less expensive in the long run because of more abundant flavor.) And I had just a perfectly lovely time.
