classes at the University of Wash

Danger From Rabies
if
That tbe source of typhoid fever
In Klamath Falls and surrounding
country haa been dlseoverod and ef-
fectivelysmoved; that no cases have
been discovered since its removal,
and that danger of mere cases is over
was emphasised before tho city ccju
cil last evening by City and County
Health Officer Warren C. Hunt.
When questioned regarding tbe re-
rort on the apparent unsatisfactory
condition of the city water in the Hot
Springs Addition water, Dr. Hunt de
clared that a" satisfactory explana
tion was very difficult, as tbe source
of the water supply was found to be
pure, tbe tanks clean, and arranged
to that nothing contaminating could
possibly cuter. At the West End res
ervoir, Dr. Hunt said, ono of the
drain taps was foundto be submerg
ed In a puddle of wnter, nnd as the
witter supply lu this reservoir varls
and Is sometimes exhausted during
the Irrigation holirs In the summer
months, a suction would be produced
Instead of tho customary outward
pressure, and that some impurities
might be drawn Into the pipe sys
tem by this mebns. It was his opin
ion, however, that no fever has been
contracted from the water supply.
