DIPHTHERIA QUARANTINED.
The Eugene Wny of Doing Things.
An Ounce of Prevention Worth a
Pound of Cure.
The difference between the Sa
lem way of doing things, and the
way of other cities was mado glar
iugly apparent to-day by a glance
over the Eugene City Register.
Recently Salem had a visit from
that dreadful scourge, tho diph
theria, and tho attention the city
council of this city paid to the
mattors of precaution against a
spread of the disease could bo
measured in1 a small sized thimble.
Diphtheria has recently broken
out in tho family of J. D.Matlock,
himself a membr of tho common
council at Eugene. Immediately
the committee on health represented
to the mayor and council the pres
ence of this disease. A meeting of
the council was called. Mr. Mat
lock's house and family declared
quarantined, and no person or thing
allowed to leave the house without
due disinfection. Danger Hags were
ordered displayed at cither side of
the house. Also that citizens nnd
property holders be huquikkd, ab
solutely required, to clear up their
premises, deodorize and disinfect all
cesspools, sewers, water pipes, sinks,
etc.. about their premises to prevent
the spread of the disease. In his
proclamation, the mayor cleses:
"Parents, keep your children at
home," good advice at any time.
Now this is a sensible and econom
ical way of treating such diseases.
The chances are, with these caution
ary proceedings, tho disease will be
killed in Matlock's family without
spreading further. In Salem it went
from door to door, and required the
doctors utmost endeavors to wipe it
out. '

THE KECENTXUNS.
A Slight Dissertation on tbe Recent
Spell of Woatkfr, awl its Results.
After a month of boisterous down
pouring, tho rain has ceased, and
the sky is again clear. Old "J. P."
has concluded to take a much need
ed rest. The rainfall during tho
month has been extraordinarily
heavy, aggregating three inches nnd
a half. The average rainfall iu
June is 1.71 inches. Tho rainfall in
May last was 1.7G inches
short, while that of Juno
ran over 1.7S inches. South
erly winds have prevailed tho en
tire month, and tho air lias been
cool, almost to chilliness. However
tho wind changed into tho North
west quarter yesterday evening, and
immediately everybody, except tho
"rusty croakers" wore a broad bland
smile, for they all know what a
northwest wind means during a
rainy season.
It is a "sure" sign of clear weath
er, unless it should happen to rain
more.
Sure weather signs remind tho
vriter of a little verse he once heard,
and it often recurs to his mind
when he hears "moon weather
prophets" prophesy the weather
"for tho next few days." It is this:
To tlream of a ponderous whnle,
Erect on tho tip of his tall,
Is tho sign of nbtorm
(If the weather Is warm).
Unless it shnnUl happen to fall.
However, it has the appearance
now of giving us a little moresunimor
.before next winter.
Of course, now is the time to weigh
the results of tho rain. "Whether it
has done good or not.
A month since, the roads were
dry, and heavy with dust. This has
been pretty well settled. Farmers
were complaining that spring sown
wheat, and oats had barely gotten
ground, nnd thero was no moisture
left to give it growth. Even fall
grain which had lived through tho
freeze last winter, was looking bad.
In tho eastern part of the stato
tilings were so dry that It was ex
pected that no crop would be worth
the saving. Everything needs rain,
and everybody was croaking that it
was not going to come. Old
Oregonians who put their faith in
"webfoot" and a divine providence,
said "Hold on; you'll get it yet."
Old Oregonians had never seen it
fail during their years here, and
they were not going to be scared
now.
They were right. Oregon never
fails. The rain camo copiously.
Every crop the farmer harvests,
from the potato to his thousand
acres of wheat will bo a grand suc
cess in quantity and quality. Hay
which was short a month ago is
now tall and rank, and thero will
bo a heavier crop than usual.
"Garden truck," vegetables of all
kinds, have had enormous growth
during tho month. Of course tho
rain spoiled the later strawberries,
and caused cherries to burst open;
but it makes up for it fully in the
size, quantity and flavor of rasp
berries, blackberries and other
fruits. Not ono reliable complaint
of rusty grain has been heard, and
it is almost safe to say that Oregon
never knew more truly valuable
Juno weather. Eastern Oregon lias
been benefited by tho rains, tho
samo as other parts of the state, and
the inland empire will bring fortli
as bountifully as ever.
