that within a week he will give the so-

"I shall not toll the world," said Dr.

all reputable physicians will be able to

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

usually the case.

"I have read so much about making

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.

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-
