OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1905. METEORITE ON THE WAY :amcus Mass of Iron Goes to Exposition. NOW NEAR WILLAMETTE PERSONAL MENTION. After Close of Lewis and Clark Fair Meteor Is To be Placed in Historical Exhibit. Tlio "Willamette Fulls meteorite, now that all litigation 1ms Anally bonn settlod, is actually on its way to Portland, where ;tlie Oregon Iron & Steel Company will place it on exhi bition at tho Lewis and Clark Fair and afterward will presont it to tho Oregon Historical Society. It will prolmhly become part of the perma nent exhibit at the Portland city hall. The meteorite is at Willamette Falls and near tho landing on the Willamette river below the town. It is now being moved on a kind of sledge to the rivor by means of a capstan and teams. The work of moving it was begun Inst week and is in cliarga of Mr. Allen, of Portland. Ho has two crews of six men each and two teams of heavy draft horses at work and tho labor of moving is car ried on day and night. Mr. Alien thinks it will take about two days to get tiio meteorite to the river, where- it wll bo loaded on a bargo and towed to Portland. The meteorite was discovered about two years at;o on the lauds of the Or egon Iron & Steel Company by Ellis nugnes. ic was mu suio up, nne a toadstool or a boll inverted and sur rounded by hazel bushes. Mr. Hughes began to move it over to his own land, using a capstan and team. The Oregon Iron & Steel Com pany enjoined him from moving it and the case was tried in the circuit court of Clackamas county, the court awarding the meteor to tho iron and Btool company. The suit was appealed to the sn promo court of Oregon, where the decision of Judge McBride was sus tained. In the appeal a point was raised that is new in .Oregon jurisprudence. The appellant claimed that the me teorite was abandoned property ; that the Clackamas Indians called the Btoue "Tomuunwas" and believed it fell from tho moon. They allege that it was fushionod and maintained by them to hold the fluids into which thoy dipped their arrows whou thoy went to war. The meteorite is 7 by 10 foot aoross tho top and 4Ja' foot thick and its weight is estimated at four tons. Its Bpeciflo gravity is that of (soft iron, its composition being 'JO per cont iron, 10 per cent nickel, with a trace of cobalt. A Warning; to Mothers. Too much care cannot be used with buiuII children during tne hot weather of the summer months to guard against bowel troubles. Asa rule,' it is only necessary to give the child a dose of castor oil to correct any dis order of tho bowels. Do not use any substitute, but give the old-fashioned castor oil, and soe that it. is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and lias a ten dency to gripe. If this does not check the bowels, give Oliaaniberlnin s Colic, 'Cholera aud Diarrhoea Remedy and then a dose of castor oil, and the disease may lie chocked in its incip ioncy and all danger avoided. The castor oil and this remedy should be procured at once and kept ready for instant use as soon as the lirst indica : 1 "i of any bowel trouble appears. is the most successful treatment k noun and may be relied upon with implicit confidence even in cases of cholera infantum.
