i xne Eastern Oregon country will
tare a congressman of Its own, ac
cording to the late decrte of the con
, cresa. This Is right. We have needed
A congressman distinct from Portland
Influences, for there Is little In com
mon between Portland and Eastern
', Oregon., - ' , ;
Mow, that there Is to be a new
congressman, the people should use
due care In the nomination of the can
didate. Oregon has not been long on
congressional timber In the past, in
fact the delegation from this state has
lot been sufficiently active to attract
attention, and It is a good opportunity
for a capable man from Eastern Or'
,gon to show his metal. .
"y But there are congressmen and con
gressmen. Mediocrity marks the ma
, Jorlty of men sent to ihe lower house.
probably, a vacation trip is a good
thing, for it loosens up the tircula ing
medium and causes a few extra dol
lars to find their way into the current
money of each community. .-;
But for the ordinary citizen who Is
in good heal.h always seemed like a
huge Joke to us. Nothing is more irk
some than to see a big, able bodied
man lolline around a summer resort
Think of what he could accomplish in
the harves: field or lumber camp.
It is fortunate the vacation microbe
does not strike all classes alike and
become general, for if that were trus,
who would do the work these warm
summer days? Who would run the
engines that Dull the trains earrvt
these excursionists, who would cut the
choice beefsteaks and make the bread
that feeds ' the vacationists? Who
would garner, the crops and get Jn
the winter's wood.
The people who do this work are
the backbone of the country. While
those who scout around in Pullman
cars and decry the temperature, who
complain at dining car service, which
la far better as a rule than they are
used to at home, who yawn and gape
because no new book has lately been
j written to take their fancy, may ion

as little as the small red ant iwneu n
comes to doing things In the world.
, MAY CLOSE HUNTING SEASON.
The danger of forest fires through
carelessness on the cart of hunter is
now belna considered In Oregon. Too
much Is at stake when the standing
timber Is In Jeopardy to let a pleasure
free handed into the bills
and carelessly start fires at will. In
view of this fact the chief executive
has almost agreed to close the hunting
season In this state. The following
circular has been sent out along this
line, -; , ,'
The open season for hunting deer
as well as a number or otner animais
and game birds, began August 1 and
State Fores.er F. A. Elliott has nis
ear to the ground for reports of forest
fires started through the carelessness
we hope the people will rise above the j 0f hunters. Every year a great many

Forest Fire law, which went into ef-

A great many people in every town
think they must have a "vacation': ev

a desire to keep up appearance with
those who cannot afford it. With the

to learn the causes of .his dreaded dis
ease and to And some method by
which its victims can be relieved, but
s far with little success, in the Jour
nal of the American Medical associa
tion for June appears an article by Dr.
Philip W. Nathan of New York, or
a new and apparently successful treat
inent of arthritis' deformans. After
discussing the theories Vhich have
been advanced as to the origin of thii
disease. Dr. Nathan saya .hat about
four years ago, led by Basch's exper
iments showing the Influence which
the thymus gland had on the grow
of the skeleton, be began to use the
dried thymus gland of the calf for ill-
treatment of rheumatoid arthrl:is. The
thymus is a small gland found in the
neck of the calf. It ia . believed i
have an influence on growth and th
development of bones. No lmmediat
benefit resulted from small dose
but long continued admlnistratioi
sooner or later led to definite and, ii
some cases, to striking Improvement.
After this treatment has been contin
ued for months general nutrition be
gins to Improve and the stiffening o

Nathan's conclusions are that while
while this treatment must be combin
ed with complete rest and Improve
ment of nutrition, yet, when taken
conscientiously for'a long time com
bined with Judjcious care, marked Im
provement, If not a perfect cure, can
always be expected. , These results
are based on the records of 186 cases
of which 83 were severe. ;
