Mrs. W. R

years. She wa* buried at Grey Butte
cemetery Sunday. Mrs Stack* wa*

Oregon six year* ago. Three year*

Stacks and since that Mine haa lived
on the 1-amonta ranch.

ter, Mis* Beulah Barker.
This Is the third fatal case of
spotted fever that ha* happened In
thla part o f Central Oregon. Two
last year and this case, which was
especially virulent. The sage tick
bit the woman on the breast, near
the nipple, and the poison waa taken
directly Into the blood. The symp
tom* became alarming from the very
flrst.
Medical aid was called, but
little could be done. She became de
lirious In about ten days and four
days after that her death ensued.
She did not regain consciousness.
Her body waa covered with dark
purple spots varying In aise from a
pea to the end of your thumb
Little la known of the disease.
Hr. Belknap haa been familiar with
It In this country for 26 or 30 years.
He wrote up the symptoms of a num
ber of bis early cases and had the
article published in an eastern medi
cal Journal In the hope of getting
some enlightenment on the subject,
but could learn nothing.
He and
Hr. Marsden of Burns, compared
notes on the disease, but no definite
treatment was established.
Hr. Belknap said: " I t Is only in
the last 10 or 12 years that physi
cian* have got much Information on
the subject. The disease la epidemic
In the Bitter Root Valley of Mon
tana. Idaho. Wyoming. Nevada and
Central Oregon. It Is especially
virulent In Montana, where 70 per
rent of those bitten die from the ef
fects of the poison.
In the other
places mentioned the mortality varies
from two to three per cent. The high
and dry valleys seem to add viru
lence to the poison.
There is no
known cure for the disease. The tick
probably feeds on sage rats and other
vermin and when distended with
blood drops off on the ground and
from there finds Its way to members
of the human family. The bite ef
fects all ages and both sexea alike
and la dangerous from early March
to July. The treatment Is symptom
atic.

The Colony Coyote of Wyoming
publishes the following story that
may be of interest to women in this
section of the state:
Every married woman who takes
up land under any of our land laws
requiring that the entryman be a
citlxen of the United State* must
make a showing as to her ctllxensblp.
whether she Is a native born citlaen
or not. If this la neglected the entry
will be held up and an affidavit of
cltlxenahlp required. Many married
women who are required to furnish
this affidavit of citlienshlp regard It
as a useless bit of red tape, tu t It Is
very necessary owing to a peculiar
ity In our laws.
On March 2, 1907, Congress passed
a law decreeing that henceforth all
married women are of the same eiti-
xenship as their husbands, but thla
law does not apply to persona who
were married before March 2. 1907.
It is plain to see that if an Ameri
can horn girl marries a. foreigner ahe
lose* her ettisenship and can only
regain it by Inducing her nuaband
to become naturalised. If a foreign
born girl cornea over to thla country
and marries an American cltlien ahe
straightway becomes a legal citlxen
of the United States.
This law is uot well understood by
moat people and much confusion re
sults from Its working. Moat mar
ried wbmen believe that they are of
the same cltlxenahlp as before mar
riage and If asked would unhesita
tingly swear that they are native
born citlxen*. notwithstanding the
fart that they may have married an
alien since March I. 1907, and there
by lost their citlienshlp.
The land office haa found that It
cannot rely upon the almplo asser
tion of a married woman because she
Is liable not to be fully Informed on
the point, and therefore they require
that every married woman show be
yond the poeelbtllty of a doubt that
she la a citlxen of the United States
according to law. It ts not a matter
In which the Interior Department
has any option. Congress has made
the law* which govern cltlxenahlp,
and has alao decreed that the pub-
In order to meet and talk with A.
E. Lovett, Crook county agricultur
ist. the farmers In the neighborhood
of the Whlterock on the Deschutes
river met at the home of O. E. An
derson Saturday night. May 30.
After a short talk by Mr. Lovett
all present took part In an open dis
cussion of topics of interest to the
farmers in the neighborhood. This
discussion Included the preparation
of the land for the different crops
grown, the growing of leguminous
crops, the testing of new varieties,
the use of bacteria cultures for alfal
fa and clover, the feeding of dairy
animals, the use of various crops for
silage, the feeding of silage, the us«
of fertilisers and many other topics
of Interest.
There were ten farmers and their
wives present and all decided that
much good could be accomplished by
having regular meetings in the
neighborhood. After a wholesome
lunch of cake and coffee, furnished
by Mrs. Anderson, It was decided to
meet at Loren McFarland’s on the
night of Saturday. June 13. The
meeting adjourned at 11:30.
It is expected that they will hold
meetings regularly every two weeks
and all farmers and others interest
ed in good farming and the better
ing of our farm conditions are cor
dially Invited to attend.
11c lands pass only to persons who
are legal citlxen* of the United
States. The Interior Department,
through the Land Office, must take
such steps ax are necessary to carry
out the provisions of the law, and
thla showing as to cltlxenahlp of
married women la one of them.
If every married woman would re
member this and whenever she is
called upon to show her cRIsenahlp
make a full showing as to the date
of her marriage, and If married be
fore March 2, 1907. then show her
cltlxenahlp by birth or naturalisa
tion. If married since March 2, 1907.
show the ettisenship of her husband,
•he would avoid being obliged to re
turn later and make affidavit to
theee facts.
A woman who haa married an
alien since the passage of the Act
of March 2, 1907. must produce a
copy of her husband's naturalisation
papers, duly certified to by the clerk
of the court before which he was
naturalised, and must make affidavit
as to the fact of having been mar
ried to this man since March 2. 1907,
in order to prove her ettisenship.
