The following la statement of the
health conditions of Klamath Falls
by Dr. Wnrren D. Hunt, health officer
for the City of Klamath Falla and
KUmath Ceunty:
"With the poMlble exception of
a number of convateacent casea of
typhoid, the general health of the
community li good. The early eource
of the typhoid baa been eradicated,
and fear of contracting It should no
longer be entertained, provided ex
cretla from the convalescent caaea Is
properly disposed of. Aa to inequal
ity or milk and water aupplles at this
time, In my opinion, the milk dis
tributed to the public Is universally
good. The water has been repeatedly
analyzed, being found pure at Ita
source, but with some contamination
after Its Inoculation thru the pipe
system. The use of boiled water will
set aside any doubt at to the germ
carrying qualities of tbe water. Rab
ies has been discovered In doga and
coyotes within a radlua of ten miles
of Klamath Falls, and strange acting
animals should be regarded with sus
picion." Tests of the city water have also
been made for the California-Oregon
Power.aompany by Btate Health Offi
cer, R. K, L. Holt at Portland on
samples submitted by Dr. George
Cathey of this city. Three samples
were sent for examination, tbe first
from the pumping station, the second
from Hot Springs and the third from
tbe'eourt house. The letter from Offl
cer Holt follews:
"Gentlemen The examination of
the samples of water submitted by
