Grande Ronde and Wallowa valleys form an oasis in a vast
stretch of Eastern Oregon that is so frequently regarded by
outlanders as being merely long, dry plains covered with
grains and sagebrush. We have both, it is true, but we're
nir irom Doing ciroutn-atricKen, in fact, we have every reason
to more thoroughly convince us than ever that we are far
more favored by Mother Nature than our neiirlibniu tr
north and south and east and west.
We regard it not as a compliment that Union and Wallowa
counties were not listed in the drouth area; rather we regard
it as just recognition that we're living in a little spot in the
Inland Empire where crop failures are unknown and the
true significance of the word "drouth" little understood be
cause real drouth has never been experiencd, and probably
never will.

THE DOt; I'OISONEK
Two dogs were poisoned in La Grande this week, one a
family pet, the other n valued hunting dog. Owners of both
insist the animals never caused anyone discomfort or inflicted
damage on property belonging to a neighbor. Yet today two
faithful canine friends are missing, and we presume there is
someone who gloats in the knowledge he or she wiped out
tho two.
It is hard to understand the warp of a viscious mind that
will put strychnine or some other deadly poison in a piece
of meat and cunningly place the death potion where a dumb
beast will find it. A dumb beast who all its life has been
fed by kind human hands, and who with faith in humankind
doesn't know enough to scorn a piece of food a bit out of the
beaten path.
It must be a peculiar vengeance that the poisoner enjoys,
knowing full well that the death of tho animals brings tears
to the eyes of little ones, a choking of the throat to the adult
who sees the grief of his child as well as feels keenly the
loss of a family pel. It is an odd idea of vengeance to thus
overbalance tho knowledge of the suffering in human hearts
the killing of pet animals brings.
It is dimcult indeed to understand the queer quirks that
must exist in the minds of a dog poisoner. It must be that
there is mean spile, some faculty that brings devilish pleas
ure in inflicting pain on others, some twist in mentality that
erases anility to enjoy things that other neonle eniov. Y
have never considered the penalty for such act severe enough.
One so unbalanced to indulge in this practice is not n safe
being to be allowed, when caught, any further privileges of
human society to which he is most certainly a menace.

Fever Is Claim
EASTERN OREGON'S OASIS
Comes news now from Oregon's U. S. Squalor Frederick
Sleiwer that Umatilla and tinker counties, along with several
other Eastern Oregon counties, have been added to the of
ficial drouth zone, thus making ranchers in these sections
eligible to sell cattle and sheep to the government to be
slaughtered for relief purposes. Perhaps there are some in
Union and Wallowa counties, who feel that this section has
been discriminated against by failure to include it in the
drouth zone; perhaps they feel that fanners in these two
counties also should be given an opportunity to sell half
starved stock to Uncle Pam for a nice price. Perhaps they
are right, but
Where are the half-starved stock? A little over a month
ago the Semi-Centennial U. P. celebration committee here
was seriously worried localise it couldn't find a half-starved
noise to appear in tho historical prologue of the Saturday
pageant. It was two or three weeks before such a horse could
be found, and the reason one could count his ribs was because
he was toothless and couldn't eat the rich forage that nature
so abundantly supplied in Union and Wallowa counties this
year.
Ranges in this section are not what would be expected in
s drouth area this year, and livestock is doing probably bet
ter than in many years regarded as normal. Possibly' some
think Union and Wallowa counties should 1k included in the
drouth area so that our ranchers could find a new market
for their scrubbier stuff, but we disagree.
It seems to us that the fact that Union and Wallowa coun
ties were not included in the drouth zone, while all ncijrhlxr
mg counties were so designated, is simply another proof of

physicians, submtuing to the scratch

have Joined a dramatic but unnunu
bered company of doctors who have
volunteered their own bodies for ex-
jwnmcni tne "silent partners" of
medical dturovcry.
Tho New Yorkers are trying one of
tne urst paruiysis vaccines to be
used on human beings. Heretofore
such vaccination has been too dan
gerous and doubtful for anything ex
cept animal'j. They say they are tak
ing no risks, that It's nothing to talk
about.
That phrase "nothing to talk
about" pictures the whole com
pany, past and present, and the sort
of courage they possess, a bravery
tlmt does without boasting. Although
medical men say there have been
thousands of such celf-expertmcnts.
medical literature runs true to form
it doesn't record th-m any bettor
than the physicians themselves.
Victim Or 1mii.slIloii
Eearch of the great library of the
New York Academy of Medicine fail
ed to produce even one comprehen
sive printed list of such heroes. Field
ing H. Gardner 'a history of medicine
listed 2(i names ati medical martyrs.
beginning with Servetus, who died in i
lfi)3. not from his experiments, but !
for his opinions, lie discovered the
blcod relationship between heart nnd
lungs. But it was the Inquisition
which got htm for heresy.
In Gardner's list Is the most fa-
, mous recent example Jesse W. La
zaer who gave his life fighting yel
low fever. He was on the staff or
Walter Reed in Cuba, at Las Animas
hospital, where a small group felt
certain the mosquito carried the In
fection. Lnzaer saw a mosquito in a
yellow fever ward light on h'.-- hand.
Ho did not brush it off, but let It
bite. Five days later he came down
with a fatal case of yellow fever.
Ills Test Disproved
Pettenkofer, a German phvslclan.
took millions of cholera bacilli to
prove that they do not cause the dis
ease. He did not catch It. But later
his theory and hts grave test were
disproved, nnd he became no despon
dent at the age of 83 that he com
mitted suicide.
John Hunter, the English physi
cian, is one of the notable stories.
There was a dispute about two vene
real diseases. It was thought the
same organism caused both. To prove
differently Hunter inoculated himself
with what lie thought was one or
ganism, the milder of the two.,
