Yesterday morning the drill worked incessantly for two hours on boulder and lowe-ed itself but two inches. Suddenly the casing broke, caus ing the material delay. The well is nearly full of water. Bjt seven feet more ana the well would be a flowing one. Several times, testt have been made to ascertain the quantity of the water, and after bucketing for several hours, the water was lowered a distance of forty feet. There it stopped. The supply is a large one but not of a sufficient nnniy to make a flowing well. It will require a piece of engineering skill to lower the 325 feet of inner casing. Each joint must be lowered separately and held while another fifteen foot joint is screwed on, When the last joint will have been attached and lowered, the de vice which controls tht lowering, will be holding over nine tons of iron. , i i . p. 1 Commence the New Year 'right fcyriradftg 'at; smith's I Our Meats Speak for Themselves r 1 All, kinds of fresh and t and salt meats always on 2 hand.

TROUBLES Of OSMflBM Hint IM tue fiottindm Bill Has fallen Among Wot s Portland. Jan. 28 (To the Editor) In The Oregonian of last Friday 1 note with surprise that Senator Nottingham's bill for the regulation of osteopathy was referred to the committee on medicine and pharmacy. And that, too, at the so licitation of three of the said committee, and despite the protests of the Senator who introduced the bill. Upon what grounds such action was taken is not stated. Nar is it conceivabl by one familiar with the spirit of antago nism manifested by the older schools of practice toward any system not in ac cord with their own. The spectacle of medical doctors im portuning our aug st body of lawmakers for the opportunity and privilege of sa ting in judgment on the merits of a sys tem of practice which they and their brothers have bitterly slandered and vili fied and fought is so unspeakably ludic rous that one it moved to wonder if tht dawn of the millennium it not already bursting that the lamb should be suffer ed to lie down tranquilly within reach of, the lion's paw. i S . Pray, what portion of the bone-doctors' request falls within tne ipecial ' jurisdic tion of these erudite Aesculapiant? It it possible they feaf that tht . health .of tht State's precious oitizens would fail by reason of tht unrestraintdapplicatiori of system that depreciate tht use of drugs? Be not alarmed gentlemen. Have not some of tht childreji of mtntljus far escaped that amicus and painful" moment Tjeh the order for poisonous pttlpowdtr or potion it inscribed in; mort painful Latin tignt and tymool,' and yet .-arrived at the full term of rhif shotted timt? Moreover, be assured that tht doctors of Multnomah county, at tet.ar not panic- stricken at prospect of legalized drugless treatment of it citizens. 'For hat not itt city and county met) eel association! by unanimous vote, put itself" on ' rtcord to tht effect that drugs art not necessary in the efficient treatment of disease? Else, 1 charge you. thty art dtrelict to tht btst interests of our, xk and afflicted. Out of the depths of their tender compassion and infinite affection for tne:r dearly beloved brother, the osteopath they issued such a paragon of startl. ng magnanimity thai the osteopaths mut have swooned in sheer hreatnifessntss, town:, 'Resolved, that the present law be amended so as to read that osteopaths will not have to piss ex amination upon materia medica." But the fact is tha'. bill was not justly or properly referrable to a medical com mittee, but. by virtue of the fact that it is a new law tnat it provides for the ap pointment of a board of examiners under state control, with authority to issue licenses to qualified osteopaths and to ad minister oaths and contains penalty clauses for the violat on of its provisions it clearly f lis w.tmn the jur.sdiction of the judiciary committee. In support of such opinion I cte as precedent the refer ence of the osteopatnic bill two years ago to the judiciary committee of the House. Anrl furfh.r I umilri Amnhaina tkm far.t liia. His Sopii.T.B C:urt5 if !! of nar states have held that osteopathy is not the practice of medicine within the mean ng of existing medical statutes. This effort of our medical worthies to entertain the osteopathic bill it certainly unique and suggestive. Will it not come toinis tn it trie Ripjjlican party wil suomit itt next National platform to its dear friends, the Democrats, for modifi cation and correction, or that one Pre byttnan Central Assembly will turnover the Confession of Faith to the Unitarians lor. revision and . sugget ions? Perhaps Dot. But surely of tms there 'tin" bk no doubt that in future tht "-inedlcaPSfieir 'out of consideration of love and reciproj- city, w :! graciously submit tieir possible legislative billt to tht osteopaths, for al teration ant correction?' '' -These osteopaths may be a blajjk as, tht mtdicial men paint them, but it looks mighty ttrangt that where thyare btst known thty art best protested. And no evidence hat ytt reached tht statistician of any increase in tht death rat by reason of tht ministrations of ovtr 4000 of them in our country. It it alto ttrangt that tht Legislatures of BO odd itaWrhaw seen fit to protect heir practice from fraud and quackery, and thatth United States Sen ate June 29, last, passed a bill for their protection in tne District of Columbia, requiring high educational qualifications. And it it worthy of note that tne Oregon bill differs in no important particle from he one ub-nitte- to Congress. ' . K. R. GlLTNER.
