Gus Rcbiscn Struck
By Rattle Snake
To be struck by a rattlesnake
and be out of danger within 4S
hours without medical attention
or drugs of any kind other than
bicarbonate of soda, or saler
atus. was the novel, if horrifying
experience of Gus Robison last
week at the Eagle Rock ranch of
Ralph Porfily up Crooked River.
Be was struck at 6 o'clock Fri
day evening and 4S hours later
was out of all danger. He is now
recovering from the effects of the
saleratus.
Mr. Porfily tells the story
thus:
Robison was clearing away a
few small rocks from a little
spring so as to get a place to
water stock, and upon removing
a flat stone ho saw the rattler
lying upon the ground, coiled up
and ready for business. The
snake struck before Robison
could withdraw, inflicting the
wound at the base of the thumb
on the right hand. Robison's
first act was, of course, to kill
the snake, which was a little one,
about a foot long and carrying
two rattles and a button. Then
he went into the house to see
what could be done toward sav
ing his life.
Xo liquor or strychnine was
available nor a doctor handy, so
the women of the house took the
case into their own hands and,
with the assistance of George
Maben, who cut out the wound
with his pocket knife, proceeded
to treat the stricken man the
best they could. They prepared
a saturated solution of saleratus
and made the patient drink a
gallon, meanwhile bathing his
arm, now swollen to ieariui size,
with the same mixture. Alto
gether Rotison consumed two
1-pound packages or trie stuti j
during the 4s hours, most of it
being taken internally. Sunday
afternoon the swollen arm had
commenced to resume its normal
color and size, reduction begin
ning at the shoulder, and by six
o'clock the same evening the en
ergetic women of the household
pronounced him out of danger.
Rattlesnake poison is peculiar
ly venomous at this time of the
year, when the reptiles are go
ing through the process known ;
as "shedding," or sloughing off
the old skin. The process con
sists of merely crawling out of
the old skin, with an added rat
tle to the snake's collection;
but
during the period immediately
preceding this operation the rep
tile is sick, blind, irritable, un
able to rattle because of illness,
and similarly, keeps himself well
hidden untii the operation is all
over with. It is seldom, indeed,
that a rattler is seen daring the
shedding season.
We would not advise a too
strong reliance upon bicarbon
ate of soda as an antidote for
snake poison, however. There
is littlo question that Robison
owes his life to a heart action
powerful enough to resist the
venom until its effect wore off.
Likewise, he must have a copper
lined alimentary tract to have
stood that allopathic dose of soda
which should have, according to
all the laws of chemistry, con
verted his stomach into tripe.

the population problem,"
Mr. Handley continued the in
terview by suddenly reverting
to his proposition of a people's
trust.
Wot only, said he, "will we
secure equity of proJuction
transportation and prices to con
sumers by close understanding
and association of interests be
tween producer and railroad,
but we will be in a positiou then
to burn up an awful pile of laws.
Laws are products of distrust
A law always indicates lack of
organization. With us, organiza
tion has got to take the place of
law. We're going to have that
sort of organization, because we
are going to farm Oregon that
we may supply our own consum
ers, that we may keep the latch
string hanging out."
At the Burns meeting, it is be
ing definitely arranged that all of
Western Oregon and Portland
shall be represented. High offi
cials of transportation aarencies
will likely be present. Delega
tions from Klamath Falls, Med
ford, Lakeview, Redmond will
join with the people of Burns and
Harney county in making the
meeting what they call a "hum
mer, a meeting with a definite
plan and purpose that of pro-
Jductive organization.
When the development league
met in Astoria the most ener
getic delegation came from Cen-
tra,i Oregon.
There were Wil
liam Handley of Burns, J. W.
Brewer and Mayor Jones of Red
mond, A. O. Hunter of Bend, J.
E. Sawhill, secretary both of the
Bend Commercial club and the
Oregon Development league of
which Mr. Hanley is president;
James Donnegan of Burns,
Judge Colvig of Medford and
Judge William S. Worden of
Klamath, together with Bruce
Dennis and G. A. Gault of La
Grande.
