Salem, Ore., June 16. Acting on the
recommendation of the Wool Growers'
Association the Purebred Livestock
Association and the Oregon State Dai
rymen's Association, Governor West
has appointed the members of the
State Live Stock Sanitary board, which
was created by the last legislature.
The secretary of the State Board of
Health is an ex-officio member of the
board. This board is expected to be of
great importance to stockmen and far
mers of the state, as it is given very
broad powers of regulation and control
of diseased livestock and poultry. The
board is authorized to appoint a state
veterinarian, who will also be state
sheep inspector, at a salary of $2400 a
year. The members of the board are
as follows:
Recommended by the Wool Growers'
association Herbert Boylen, of Pilot
Rock, four year term; John G. Hoke,
Baker, two year term.
Recommended by Purebred Livestock
association Frank Brown, of Carleton,
four year term; Charles Cleveland, of
Gresham, two year term.
Recommended by the Oregon State
Dairymen's association F. E. Lynn,
Perrydale, four year term; Charles
Kunze, Tillamook, two year term.
More than 3000 automobiles have
been registered this year in excess of
the number registered at the same pe
riod last year. The total registration
of motor vehicles at this time numbers
11,500. A year ago the registration
was 8,411. During the first five months
of this year 11,048 motor vehicles were
registered and 933 chauffeurs. During
this time the registration fees received
by the automobile department of the
secretary of state's office amounted to
$44,158, of which $1,856 was for chauf
feurs licenses, $450.50 for transfers,
duplicate number plates, etc., and $11,
841.50 for motor vehicle registrations.
In a decision handed down last Satur
day by Judge William Galloway, of the
Marion county circuit court, the consti
tutionality of the law appropriating
$450,000 for the completion of the Col
umbia Southern Irrigation project is
upheld. The decision was given in the
suit brought by L. H. McMahan, of
Salem, to enjoin the state officials from
passing out any of the money. The
court ordered the suit dismissed and
McMahan gave immediate notice of ap
peal to the supreme court. McMahan
attacked the law on the alleged ground
that it was local and special legislation,
but Judge Galloway held that the state
would be acting under a wise policy of
internal improvement by reclaiming its
arid lands for the benefit of all the
people.
That the dairy products produced in
Oregon during 1912 were in excess of
$19,000,000, is the statement contained
in the May bulletin of Dairy and Food
Commissioner J. D. Mickle, now being
issued. He says no other farm crop
last year, excepting livestock, amount
ed to more than $12,000,000.
After serving nine years as first as
sistant attorney general, I. H. Van
Winkle has tendered his resignation to
Attorney General Crawford, to be
come effective July 1. He will engage
in the practice oi law in balem, it is
probable that the attorney general will
appoint his son James Crawford, who
is now studying law at Harvard, as
Van Winkle's successor. Attorney Van
Winkle is instructor in constitutional
law and the code in the law depart
ment of Willamette University and is
considered one of the most able law
yer's in the state.
Governor West has appointed Chas.
G. Griggs, of Portland, as a member of
the Board of Forestry, taking the place
of A. B. Sprague, resigned.
State Treasurer Kay has called at
tention to the provision of the law en-
; acted by the lust legislature, putting
into operation the law providing for the
inspection of weights and measures,
which requires the various county
courts to appoint deputy sealers of
weights and measures. He says these
deputies will be employed only one or
two months in the year when they will
co-operate with the state sealer of
weights and measures in testing the
weights and measures in their counties.
The instrument of the state have been
sent to Washington, D. C, to be test
ed. The counties must provide instru
ments for the use of the local deputy
sealers.
For three days last week 39 appli
cants for license to practice dentistry
in th'iH state demonstrated their skill on
the teeth of the convicts at the state
penitentiary. Dr. II. II. Olinger, sec
retary of the examining board, said
that nearly 2000 worth of dental work
was done, if ordinary office prices had
been charged. All the materials, in
cluding gold fillings and other fillings,
are furnished by the applicants and the
prisoner get Uie benefit of the work
free. More prisoner applied to have
work done than could be handled.
Union Governor West intervenes,
Robert Morgan will have to pay the
death penalty for the murder of his
weetheart, Virgie Hart, in Gilliam
county, because the supreme court last
week dismissed hi appeal for a new
trial on the ground that the transcript
in hi caae was not filed within the
tatutory time limit. He will be re
turned to Gilliam county to be resen
tenced for execution.

puU.riU for (h mii.vur LtU'iiM
Editor Malheur Enterprise:
I have always admired the summary
way with which editors are wont to
dispose of weighty questions. In a
prosaically democratic age it is an we
have left to remind us oi inai origin,
gone day when the king spoke and it was
done, finished, ended, right on the spot
and for good and all. Yes, indeedy!
so long as we have editors we shall not
lose sight of the age of romance-and
fable. And where the editor has ruled,
romanced and confabulated, what a
joy to remember that he only counts
one in the ballot box.
A friend kindly handed me a copy of
your issue of June 7, wherein you so
neatly ticket and shelve the opponents
of sterilization. "Reactionaries, op
posing with useless strife the moral
leaders of the country and results of
their careful scientific investigations
which reach far back into the history
of nations."
For a love of the marvelous and
a childlike creduality commend me to
the editor when he would curry favor
with pretentious faddists.
By any chance is it the Jukes family
to which you refer? This is a type of
a small number of stock stories that
have been prepared by persons (with
a case to make out) with the object of
making ay impression on the minds
that let out their job of thinking. In
the words of a profound student of the
sciences involved, this kind of thing is
"dastardly misrepersentation of the
hereditary aspects of crime and insan
ity." But it "goes" with those who
swallow. whole whatever comes to them
labeled, "scientific investigation."
It does not go with those who know
the source of supply for the reforma
tories, prisons and asylums. It does
not go with those who have really
studied nature and seen how she re
lentlessly weeds out strains that prove
themselves unfit. It does not go with
those who have seen persons guilty of
sexual crimes reform and head a line
of vigorous and moral progeny. It
does not go with those who understand
the laws of heredity, under which are
perpetuated not merely the qualities of
one pair of parents, but instead every
individual is a complex being inherit
ing from a long line of parents. It
does not go with those who know how
unlikely it is that the million ancestors
everyone can count up by going back
something over a score of generations
did not include among the number at
least one pretty black sheep black
enough to be sterilized under the new
Oregon law. Where, by the way, will
you find a million people without this
flaw anywhere? Do you see the point?
Nobody could spare one of those mil
lion ancestors that are required to com
plete the chain back to a certain date.
Just think, then, what would have
been the result if this law had been in
operation in the past; how scarce legis
lators, and governors, and editors, and
Owens-Adairs would would have been
today! It is appalling to think of.
Then how can you be so cruel as thus
to afflict the future?
Seriously, who can say what will be
the effect of this law should it go into
operation? These experts in crimino
logy have no expert knowledge of
sterilization. They are merely hazard
ing a guess, are willing to experiment
on human flesh and blood only so they
themselves are safe. For unadulterat
ed, cold-blooded selfishness this bears
the palm. It is the old answer of Cain.
Your charge of "reactionary" had
better be applied to those who are re
verting to pagan practices. In this
time of great spiritual progress who
but reactionaries are they who plant
their feet and bracing themselves cling
for salvation to their gods of matter?

ities at Boise. Dan Ackley, then one
of the guards at the pen, came to
Burns for the prisoner. Early in the
morning before the stage left for Vale
the sheriff and Ackley went to the jail
to get the prisoner, and while Ackley
was stooped and in the act of placing
an Oregon boot on the leg of the pns-
i oner, the latter suddenly snaic.cu -revolver
from the officers's belt, sent
I a bullet through him and fired another
! at the sheriff. Before the third shot
' could be fired, Richardson had his au
tomatic working, put five bullets
I h..nM..h fViP Indian, killine him instant-
i ly and saving the lives of both himself
and Ackley. The guard was many
I months recovering from his wound and
nia roenvprv was considered almost
1 rm'mMllmiS.
I I nn Rirhanlson was elected sheriff
of Harney county m 1904, and has held
the office continuously ever since, m
has become one of the most noted of
ficers of the northwest, having captur
p.1 psranintr Oreiron criminals in Brit
ti;h Pol' imhia. and Alaska, in Florida
and in various of the western states
He has broken up many bands of or
cranized cattle and horse theives, and
! has become a terror to the criminal
classes of the creat inland empire of
Oregon, for he always gets his man
when he goes after him.
Last year Richardson decided to re
tire from office. He bought a mer
chandising business in Burns and spent
a large amount of money purchasing a
new stock of goods and equipping his
store, but the stockmen oi narney
county would not have it that way
After the tickets had been nominated,
thp stnrkmen. without reference to
party, petitioned Richardson to become
a candidate. They placed his name on
the ballot as an independent candidate
and elected him. It is uncertain at the
present time whether there will ever
hp nnvnnfi f Ise elected to th office of
sheriff of Harney county as long as Lon
Richardson is alive.
We must admit the "ticketing" but
not the "shelving"; one poor old
country editor cannot attain to the
power of shelving a silly sentimentalist
who deals with the sub-conscious.
If humanity is to wait the progress
of nature for the elimination of evil,
and no more progress is made than
that which is proportional to the pro
gress of the last 3000 years, the Lord
help humanity.
True it has given us "Lora the
Health Expert" but it has also given
Madam Pallidina. Health is not all,
though it is much; The indian with
his scalping knife is healthy, and a
criminal may be as healthy as Mudam
Ulavatsky or Henry Ward Beecher.
A way is pointed out to prevent the
propagation and increase of criminals,
having for it basis the hurt of one in
a slight degree that many may not live
live of misery and suffering to the
danger and harm of other.
Something better than sentimentality
must be adduced to prevent the at
tempt, and by thi method it i certain
that one of the black aheep of hi own
generation will be eliminated.

FIRST AID IN CASE
OF DOG BITE
For the patient, the wound should be
immediately cauterized with nitric acid
and dressed aseptically. If the wound
is deep, involving the periosteum or
the eye, it should be washed with a bi
chloride of mercury solution. As the
organism causing the disease is proba
bly a protozoan, theoretically a satu
rated solution of quinine would be an
ideal dressing. However, this is pure'
ly problematical. Do not depend on
peroxide or turpentine.
The animal should not be killed, but
confined in some enclosure from which
it is impossible for it to make its es
cape, and kept in confinement for
definite length of time, and if the dog
is rabid it will certainly die. Animals
killed before death occurs do not show
gross microscopic lesions, and the Ne
gn bodies are exceedingly difficult to
find without animal innoculation which
occupies so much time that it does not
admit of early immunizing treatment
of the patient. If the animal does not
show any symptoms of rabies after be
ing confined for a week or ten days
the matter may be dismissed.
In killing a rabid animal do not shoot
it in the head or club its brains out,
The part of the brain where the Negri
bodies are most easily found is in the
hippocampus major or minor, and you
can readily see that scrambled brains
are difficult to examine. After the
animal is dead, separate the head from
the body, and, if possible, pack it in ice
and send it immediately to the labora
tory of the State Board of Health
Whenever possible send bv messencer.
and never under any circumstances by
parcel post. When the distance is
great and there will be delay in reach'
ing the laboratory, it is better to re'
move the entire brain, place it in t
clean closed jar and cover with a 50 per
cent, solution of glycerine and water.

inis preserves me Drain and does not
interfere with the straining or the mi-
