SAYS HOG CHOLERA
IS NOT RESPONSIBLE
Dr. E. E. Wegner Discusses Preva
lent Swine Diseases and Says
' Condition Is Not Entirely
1 Local
£ (By Prof. E. E. Wegner, Vet. Sci
ence Dept., W. S. C.)
ti Considerable sickness has existed
!in local swine herds during the past
few months, and a summary of facts
in this connection seems in order.
There seems to be a popular opinion
that hog cholera is responsible for
{the recent losses, but careful examin
ation of hogs that have died in many
herds proves that this is not the
cause of the trouble.
S The disease is rather widely spread
lin this locality and several local
herds are suffering, but similar con
ditions reported from distant points
■prove that the condition is not a
I local one.
fy The common serious infectious dis
eases of swine are three in number:
tog cholera, swine plague (many
;/(toes existing together) and contag
ious swine pneumonia. The former
diseases are better known and more
'generally discussed than the latter,
and in some respects are more ser
ious, though contagious swine pneu
monia causes considerable loss in
serious outbreaks, especially among
young pigs, which die very suddenly.
Older animals may lose condition
and therefore their value.
' Contagious pneumonia is especi
ally serious in young herds, taking
all of the young pigs in many out
breaks, and in especially serious at
tacks old animals also may die. Gen
erally, though, a large percentage of
middle aged and old animals recover
after a period of several days or
weeks. Hog cholera is no respector
of old or young, taking entire herds
without exception.
From observation of the present
trouble the following facts point to
swine pneumonia: In a herd of mid
dle aged animals which had been pro
tected from hog cholera by the serum
treatment, the disease occurred in a
mild form. All the animals recovered,
however, after a sickness of from 10
days to two weeks. In another case
a small herd of middle aged and
young animals became diseased.
Several young ones died, but the old
er animals all recovered. Again,
blood from a sick animal injected
into a healthy hog from another herd
caused a mild case of pneumonia and
not hog cholera. The animal, one
of middle age, recovered. Careful
Postmortem examination of many an
imals from various suffering herds
showed contagious pneumonia in
nearly all cases. Some showed hog
cholera, however, but nearly all were
typical pneumonia cases, with no
suggestion of hog cholera.
These facts prove the general
cause of loss to be contagious pneu
monia and not hog cholera. In any
outbreak, however, one should know
Positively what disease is prevailing,
as hog cholera is by no means un
known In this locality.
The principal symptoms of can
tagious pneumonia are: Young an
imals more susceptible than old; dis
ease is more apt to be fatal In young
than in old; coughing is a constant
symptom, coupled sometimes with
diarrhoea; sometimes with paralysis
of the hind extremities, and occa
sionally ulcers appear in the mouth
and throat; young pigs may die in a
few hours; older ones may have a
chronic form and recover; sick ones
refuse their food, leave the herd and
attempt to hide by crawling into the
grass or under the straw.
i In hog cholera all ages sicken and
usually die, red spots appear on the
skin, and an ill smelling diarrhoea is
Quite constant.
The one positive method of distin
guishing these diseases is by autopsy
of the bodies of animals that have
died, and many times it is desirable
to destroy sick ones for this purpose.
Hog cholera carcasses show small
blood spots, in the internal organs,
Usually the heart, lining of chest,
lymph glands, kidneys, and skin is
frequently reddened. The lnsldes of
the bones Is very dark In color be

blood which is ; responsible for the

DOCTOR C. H. RUSSELL
NAMED FOR MAYOR
Caucus Held Monday -.veiling Ad
journed Alter Selecting a Partial
Ticket for City Election
■
________
There was a rather slim attend
ance at the caucus held in the city
hall Monday evening to thrust nom
inations for city offices upon unwill
ing victims. Dan Downen was
chosen to act as chairman and Dr.
Archer as secretary. C. R. Dutton
was nominated for mayor, but blush
mgly declined the honor. The names
of Dr. Shaw and Dr. Russell were
presented and a vote taken which re
sulted in a tie. eight to eight. On
the next ballot Russell received 10
votes to eight for Shaw and was de
clared the candidate of the caucus
for mayor.
The candidacy of J. S. Clark for
treasurer, Mrs. M. F. Gannon for
clerk and M. S. .lamar for attorney
were endorsed without opposition.
For councilman-at-large the names
01 XV. C. Kruegel and J. B. Sanborn
were presented. A ballot was taken
which showed Kruegel to be the
choice of the majority.
For councilman from the First
ward J. N. Scott was placed in nomi
nation, but he declined emphatically
and the name of George Libby was
presented. At this point Harry
Douglas secured the floor and argued
that as not enough voters were pres
ent to make the meeting a repre
sentative one. it would be better to
adjourn to some later date. After
some discussion a motion prevailed
to adjourn to next Monday evening,
October 25.
Dr. Russell states that, while he
has no desire to make the race for
mayor, he will accept the nomination
if convinced that the action of the
caucus represents the wishes of a
'substantial element of the voters.
$8,000 DAMAGE WHEN
LARGE BARN BURNS
Sixty Tons of Hay, Three Hundred
Sacks Grain, Threshing Machine,
Wagons and Farm Imple
ments Burn on Arthur
Cole Place
Damage to the amount of $8000
was done by fire on the John Bauer
farm, 11 miles west of Pullman, for
several years rented by Arthur Cole,
when the large barn on the place
burned Tuesday evening.
The barn was built several years
ago and was one of the largest in
the county. Fire first ; appeared
bursting from the top of the barn,
and though neighbors were immedi
ately summoned, practically nothing
was saved. A cow and a horse were
led out and a chest of carpenter tools
and the Ford car saved. The con
tents of the barn. including prob
ably 60 tons of hay. 300 sacks of
grain for feed, several sets of har
ness. three wagons, threshing ma
chine, and farm Implements, Includ
ing plows, drills, etc., were owned by
Arthur Cole, who had resided on the
farm for several years. There was
insurance to the extent of $800 on
the barn, and it is thought no in
surance was carried on the contents.
Several outbuildings were burned
also. The origin of the fire is un
known.
PULLMAN. WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22. 1915
DR. E. 0. HOLLAND ELECTED
JFJIATE COLLEGE
Noted Educator Unanimous Choice of Regents
-_^to Succeed President Enoch A. Bryan
Has Had Highly Successful Career.
After the faculty reception Wed
nesday evening, the regents of tie
State College of Washington held a
meeting at the Palace hotel and after
considering the report of E. T. Co
man on his trip east to secure a suc
cessor to Preside::! Cry an, by a
unanimous vote tendered the posi
tion to Dr. E. O. Holland, at present
superintendent of schools at Louis
ville, Ky.
ln explanation ol their decision
the following statement lias been
given out:
"The strongest factor prompting
the selection, of Dr. Holland was his
success as superintendent of schools
of Louisville, Kentucky. This posi
tion he assumed in 1912. lie was
called to the Louisville position fol
lowing a reorganization of the city
school system which In the process
was placed under a board of educa
tion created by the .state legislature
of Kentucky. The reforms accom
plished in Louisville, in the past
three years, largely on the initiative
Of Dr. Holland, it is said, have given
the city one of the best educational
systems in the country. Louisville
is this year spending over $1,000,000
for the betterment of her schools.
"The point in the Louisville
achievement which made the strong
est appeal to the regents .was the
rapid strides toward the industrializ
ing of the schools which have taken
place under Dr. Holland's adminis
tration. He has made a lifelong study
of problems of efficiency as connect
ed with educational administration,
coupled with which has been a deep
study of and sympathy with the pres
ent nation-wide movement in behalf
of industrial education in all parts
of the public system. The work of
the Louisville schools in manual
training, home economics, agricul
ture, and kindred lines, all of which
are of permanent interest to the state
college, are classed in the first rank
among city school systems in the
United States.
"Dr. Holland was supported by
strong recommendations from scores
of the best known educators in the
United States, among whom were
David Starr Jordan, former president
of Leland Stanford university; Dean
Jas. E. Russell of Columbia univer
sity, Dr. Joseph Swain, president of
Swathmore, and former president of
| the National Educational Association
j of America; President Nicholas Mur
; ray Butler of Columbia university;
President William T. Foster of Reed
college, Portland; Edwin L. Holton
of Kansas Agricultural college; Dr.
, E. H. Llndley of Indiana university;
I President Henry Suzzalo of the Uni
i versity of Washington; and Presi-
I dent William L. Bryan of Indiana
i university.
"By these men Dr. Holland is de
scribed as a man blessed with an
i abundant supply of good, common
i sense ,of cleverness and unusual tact
and power for making things go. He
I is sane, progressive and constructive.
It is known that at different times in
recent years he has been asked to
! consider a number of positions high
! in the educational affairs pt the
country; among which were the su
perlntendency of schools of the city of
Minneapolis; dean of the college of
education in the University of Vir
: ginia, and a chair In Teachers col
j lege of Columbia university. New
, York. Among the strongest testi
; monials offered in behalf of Dr. Hol
■ land was one by his close oersonal
I friend, President Henry Suzzalo of
the University of Washington.
"Support was given Dr. Holland
by President Nicholas Murray Butler
of Columbia university, who assured
the board of regents that in' his
Judgment it would be difficult to find
a better equipped man than Dr. Hol
land for the post which they desired
to fill."
Dr. Holland is a native of Indiana,
born in 1873. He graduated from
Indiana university and began his ca
reer as a teacher as principal of the
j high "school' of Anderson, Indiana.
■•.-..-■■ <
Later, he became head of the depart
ment of English in the Louisville
male high school. Next, he became
head of the department of education
iv Indiana university, during which
time he became well known as a lec
turer on educational subjects
throughout the middle west. For a
time he served as an Investigator for
the Carnegie Foundation for the Ad
vancement of Teaching. The out
come of this study was a book en
titled "The Normal Schools of Penn
sylvania." Later, for two years, lie
was a fellow in education at Teach
ers college, Columbia, from which
institution lie took the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy. in the summer
of 1912 he was professor of educa
tional administration in the summer
school of the University of Cali
fornia. With Martin W. Sampson,
he is Joint author of the widely used
school text book entitled "Written
and Oral Composition," published in
1907.
In commenting upon the selection
of his successor. President Bryan
said:
"The board of regents is to be con
gratulated both on the procedure in
selecting my successor and on the
very happy conclusion of their quest.
They were very deliberate, accepting
every suggestion from whatever
source, and giving to it due consider
ation. While there were many direct
applications for the position, it is
noteworthy that the persons receiv
ing tbe greatest consideration, and
among them the person elected, was
not in any sense a candidate. The
board felt it Incumbent upon it to
go forth and seek for a suitable man,
not merely to wait in a receptive
spirit for some one to turn up. Hav
ing been favorably impressed with a
number of the names suggested, the
board invited several gentlemen to
visit the institution and the state and
observe the physical basis, both in
the institution and the state for
building up a great technical college.
After all this was done, the board
sent its president on a tour to visit
institutions and men. The result was
the selection of one of the most
promising and successful adminstra
tives which the country affords. Dr.
Holland is a scholar and a gentle
man. He has had the handling of
large educational and business af
fairs. He has wide knowledge of and
practical experience in the modern
movement for industrial education.
I feel confident that he will give to
the college and the state a long,
stable and successful adminsitration.
I particularly anticipate that the de
partments of agriculture, the experi
ment station and the extension de
partment will have a great develop
ment. 1 believe also that the tested
diplomatic ability of Dr. Holland
will aid materially in the present re
adjustment of the educational work
of the state."

grounds Cater to Women
and Children
A magnificent club house, with
adequate playgrounds for children, is
the aim of Progress Lodge, No. 943,
Loyal Order of Moose, and unless all
present plans fall ingloriously, the
realization of this aim will be the
matter of only a few months. A com
mittee lias already been appointed to
secure an option on adequate
grounds for the institution, and it is
probable that Sunnyside hill will be
favored with the Improvement, the
initial cost of which will be approxi
mately $10,000. The building will
be fitted up for a lodge room, with
club rooms for both ladies and gen
tlemen, rest rooms for ladies, library,
at least three sleeping rooms for
transient members of the order, and
will be so constructed that additional
floor space may be added as occasion
demands. It is planned to purchase
at least four lots, and commodious
playgrounds for the children of mem
bers of the order will be fitted up
with playground apparatus. At the
outset the lodge will not exceed a
safe indebtedness, but will add to the
institution from time to time
Progress lodge now has 120 paid
up members, and it is expected that
this number will be increased to 200
during the winter. The committee
apointed to Investigate available
sites for the new building is com
posed of R. M. VanDorn, Karl Allen
and Dr. C. H. Russell, and property
owners who have lots for sale that
