THAN F The writer starts out by stating that he Icarus there are many applications for commisHionerships and the fact re calls to mind incidents in connection with the Oregon exhibit at the Seattle exposition, which, he hopes, Governor West will not allow repeated at the San Francisco exposition. Ho express es the hope that the govornor will ap point some good live mon and women to take charge of the -Oregon building. At Seattlo he was disgusted when he noted the lack of cordiality extonded to people who entered the building, and says: Baps Oregon Bepresentatlves "To enter the Oregon building, after the others in which the caretakers were sociable people, was like leaving a live ly mining town and entering a cave." The "muter of statuary" was four days invisible and two day visible dur ing the writer's stay In Seattle, while the matron of statuary was three days visible and three days Invisible. Now, Governor, if you are going to select statuary for those positions, so- lect the kind made In Italy, which will be of some use to the state of Oregon," tho letter continues. "For my part I wish that those parties would be solect ed from people living In the country, in stoad of some society hangers-on as Is usually the case. Suggests Farmers Wives. "I have read so much about making country life attractive for farmers wives, but have always noticed that when positions of similar nature are to be filled, it has always been city peo pie who manage to crowd into them, lie suggests that a lady bookkeeper in Liberty store, graduate' of Willam ette university, a trained nurse and two men who are prune growors of his vl cintity would be suitable material to draw on. It Is also his idea that the governor appoint two women and one man and that they be no relation to each other. Further, he suggests that thoy be nam ed for two months and when that term is up they shall be succeodod by threo others, and so on, has split In twain the matrimonial knot which hold twonty-f ive couples together and the court dockot shows that there are 37 eases pending and which will undoubtedly be granted soonor or later owing to the charges contained thoroin of dosortion and non-support on tho part of both the husbands and the wives. Taking into consideration the number of separations caused by dl vorce and death, there is about one couple marrying In this county, to two parting. Charges of desertion have been the most frequent grounds contained in the many complaints for dlVorees so far this season, while non-support has fig ured prominently In several suits. Cruel and Inhuman treatment Is alleged by many, but upon hearing the cases In which these charges are contained, Judge Galloway usually finds that both parties to the suits are equally respons ible one way or the other and should not have ventured in the matrimonial game In the first place.

Thinks Time Will Show Friedmann Has Found a Beal Cure for the World's Greatest Scourge. (Note. Dr. Charles 8. Noble, head of the Noble Hospital of Seattle, Wash., acting on bohalf of the Star, an even ing newspaper of that city, came to New York March 3, especially commis sioned to mako an investigation of the widely-heralded tuberculosis cure of Dr. Fredorick Franz Friedmann, ths Gorman scientist. Admittedly embark ing on his inquiry aa a Bkeptic, Dr. 'No ble below presents his own impressions of the most discussed medical discovery of the century. United Pross.) By Dr. Charles S. Noble. (Written for the Unitod Press.) Now York, April 3. More than threo weoks ago I came to New York with a special commission to investigate and report upon the widely hearaldod tuber culosis cure of Dr. Frederick Fraua Friedmann. I came dotorminod to keep my mind froo of prejudice, but I must say in frankness that my attitude un avoidably was that of a skoptic. Now, aftor threo weeks of almost daily con tact with Dr. Friodmann and attend ance at evory clinic conducted by him in Now York during that period, and aftor ninny interviews with subjects treated by him, I am making tho fol lowing roport to the Soattlo peoplo in terested in my investigation: I believe that Dr. Friedman has tak en the longest stride that yet has been made In the direction of a certain cure for tuborculosls. I believe that he has a cure for many forms of tuberculosis that heretofore have not been amenable to treatment I believe his culture will prove especially efficacious In cases of bone and glandular tuberculosis and I expect It to be widely nsed within the next few years for lmmunlcatlon. From being a skeptic I have become hopeful that time, ths only infallible test, will eow that ths German savant has pro duced a real curs for ths world's great est scourge tuberculosis. Whatever shortcomings Dr. Friedmann may have, ha Is not a faker. He personally la cer tain he has a curs. Ultimately a curs for tuberculosis is certain. Dr. Fried mann says he has it I am inclined af ter seeing his results to accept his state ment until It Is disproved. My first interviow with Dr. Fried mann was not roassurlng. Uo was suspicious, resentful of too close ques tioning and resentful of any attempt to draw him Into a scientific discussion of his discovery or his methods. I attend ed his first clinic. The country already knows of the storm of criticism result ing from that Initial demonstration. Liko evory othor American physician, 1 was stunned by tho Gorman's utter disregard of eveu tho elemental dic tates of aseptic surgery. His awkward use of a none too carefully sterilized hypodermic, his painful norvousness and apparent lack of technique natur ally heightened the suspicions of the medical fraternity. The newspapers wero loud in their criticism. Save that ho was less nervous, thore was little Im provement in tho visitor's work at ths second clinic; but at tho third demon stration thero was noticeable improve ment, and at each succeeding clinic Dr. Friedmann 'a uso of the noedlu and his preservation of aseptic conditions has been bevond criticism. Still I saw little to kindle enthusiasm until the end of tho first eight-day pe riod and it became possible to note re- lilts, Even then the unanimity of the optimism of tho patients proved noth ing, hecnuso of the traditional opti mism of consumptives, Hut as days went by and the same unbroken train of favoraldo reports from those treated, continued, it wan no longer psssiblo to deny that some wonder was being work ed Patients weakened by night-sweats rucked by coughs nml burned up with afternoon fever, almost without excep tion continued to insist that they had obtained relief. They backed up their statements by showing gains in weight. while those who lind been carried to clinics with swollen and stiffened legs, demonstrated their Improvement by walking about on the hitherto useless limbs. Gradually tho doubters ceased to voieo their advorso opinions, but still skeptical, awaited Impatiently the gov- (Contlnuod on Page Five.)
