' page a. OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, AUGUST S, 1904. WILL BE HELD AT PORTLAND. American Mining Congress Conies to th Coast August 22 27. The American Mining Congress will convene In the city of Portland. Oregon. August ::. and continue thereafter up to and Including August ::th. Climatic conditions In Portland during the month of August are most Ideal; lt seldom gets uncomfortably warm during the day, and the nights are always sum clently cool that blanket la necessary for Comfort. During August the yards and environ ments of Portland are most beautiful. The roses, of course, at that time, are not so beautiful as those of June, still they are charming, and the display even In August will be a surprise to all. Boat excursions up the Columbia river, up the Willamette river, down the Colum bia to the seashore, and the various rail excursions radlaling In all directions from the city are in full blast at that time, and are gland beyond description. The su perb mountain peaks, continually snow capped, will prove of great Interest to all visitors, and a trip to Cloud Cap Inn. lo cated at practically the snow line of Mt. Hood, will prove one of those rare novel ties strangers read about, but many sel dom have an opportunity to enjoy. The trip Is easily made by rail from Portland to Hood River, thence by stage, and from Cloud Cap Inn to the summit, over 11.000 feet above the sea, is not an uncommon experience of visitors to the mountain. Those not desiring to take so onerous a trip can visit the crevasses of Elliott Glacier with entire safety and without fear of fatigue. Those ho desire to get a view of the Pacific Ocean proper will be afforded an opportunity to do so. The palatial steam er T. J. Potter, which is capable aof car rying about TOO passengers, will be run ning during the congress between Port land and Ilwaco, opposite Astoria, and near the mouth of the Columbia river, from which point a narrow gauge rail road runs up the beach for IS miles, and visitors can stop at any of the numerous stations, at which they will find ample hotel accommodations. The Pacific Ocean beach Is as fine as can Ih found anywhere. At low tide It Is several hundred yards I Wide and stretches away to the north riding, driving or bicycling It ia Ideal. I Those desiiing to take a single day's I outing can take the train about 9 o'clock in the morning and go to the Cascade Looks, where the government has sient four million dollars In providing a water way around the rapids in the river, and j return from there by boat, arriving back I in Portland alout 5 o'clock p. m. For a two-days' in", visitor's can go through to i The Dalles by rail, remain over night and come hack to Portland the following day. This gives a river trip of over one hundred miles. The trip one way by rail and one way by river is particularly delightful. The rail line runs along the river hank Close to the mountain sides, and a close view of the nunvrous cascades can be j had. From the deck of the steamer a panoramic view of both slds of the river la to be s-n. There are many long and most delight ful street car rides that visitors will de light in. while the ride to and view from Council Crest is one that will long be cherished by those fortunate enough to take advantage of it. Governor 'hainberlain has appointed the following delegates to represent Ore gon at the congress: G. G. Warner. Cottage Grove. J. M. Retallic. Grants Pass. W. S. Haskins. Glendale. A. D. McQueen. Portland. H. L. Pittock. Portland. L. Zimmerman. Portland. E. Cannon. Portland. , C. T. Sanfori, Ashland. C. W. Nibley, La Grande. Frank S. Baillle, Sumpter. Al. Geiser. Sumpter. H. E. Foster.

Purpose of An Organization Formed at Portland This Week. The Oregon Development League was called to order at Portland at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning by President H. M. Cake, of the Portland Commercial Club, who was ' afterward elected temporary chairman of the league. The league met In the Marquam Grand Theatre, and prac tically every seat was taken by the dele gates who had come from every part of the state. After temporary organization was ef fected Hon. E. L. Smith, of Hood River, president of the State Board of Horti culture, read a paper on practical fruit raising which aroused so much interest among the delegates that after its reading Mr. Smith was kept busy for ten minutes answering questions that Were, fired at him by delegates who wanted to know more. Mr. Smith, than whom there is no better posted man In Oregon on fruit growing, answered every question In a satisfactory manner, and everybody was well pleased with the experience. Dr. James Wlthycombe, of the Oregon Agricultural college, and director of the i Experiment Station at Corvallis, read a very interesting paper on specific ex amples of Oregon production In various lines, going to show what Oregon soil can do when properly managed. His fig ures, which were noi overdrawn, indicate that when all the tillable land In Oregon is finally brought under the highest state of cultivation the annual value of Ore gon's products, at present prices, will amount to $700,000,000. The afternoon session of the Oregon Development League was largely devoted to listening to "promotion" speeches by one man selected by each delegation to speak for his county. This proved to be a very Interesting meeting and developed much regarding the many natural resources of Oregon. Just before adjournment at noon Tom .Richardson asked permission to say a word or two, and before the close had made a fifteen-minute speech which aroused much enthusiasm although he bad vowed In advance that he would not say a word. Hts speech set the meeting on Its feet in good shape. Mr. Church spoke for Union county, P.ev. X R. K. Bell for Baker, Mr. Johnson for Wallowa, Mr. Taylor for Klamath, Mr. Newell for Washington, Mr. Godfrey for Columbia, Mr. RaJey for Umatilla, J. Q. A. Bowlbjr for Clatsop, after which the 'experience meeting,' as It was called. was suspended until the following morn ing. The remainder of the afternoon session was devoted to the reading of a paper on Oregon's resources by Mr. Bennett, editor of the Oregon Irrigator. Mr. Ben nett's address was full of good sugges tions and advice, and was very well re ceived. Mr. Bennett and his paper are the life of the new district of rwclalini'J land in Morrow county, and he Is a born enthusiast and promoter. WILL BE INTERESTING MEETING. Superintendent Zlnter Secures Ablt Lec turers for Annual Institute. What promises to be one of the most successful teachers' Institutes that was ever held in the county is the annual ed ucational meeting of Clackamas county teachers that will be held September T to 10. Superintendent Zinser has about completed the program, which will be among the most Interesting and thorough that was ever presented at such a gather ing. He has been fortunate In secur ing a number of the most capable lec turers and Instructors In this section of the Northwest and the program will be of corresponding worth. Among those having places on the pro gram are the following prominent edu cators: State Superintendent J. H. Ack ennan: B. F. Mulkey, president of the Southern Oregon Normal School; Dr. Henry D. Shelton. University of Oregon; W. C. Hawley. president of Willamette University; D. A. Grout, principal of the Park school. Portland; I.. R. Traver. su perintendent of the Salem schools; Prof. Babbitt, physical director of the Port land Y. M. C. A.; and Rev. J. H. Beaven. pastor of the First Baptist church of this city. Superintendent Zinser will lsiie the de tailed program within a few d,i s. Cholera Infantum. This disease has fost Its terrors since Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy came Into general use. The uniform success which attends the use of this remedy in all cases of bowel com plaints in children has made It a favor ite wherever Its value has become known. For sale by G. A. Harding.

Dairymen of Asniand Endorse This Cure After Testing It. Dairymen, who a:e fiom time to time troubled with milk fever among the cows of their hcids will be interested in the following simple and effective cure for this dis.-ace . That It Is effective Is vouched for by two or three dairymen of Ashland and vicinity, who have recently tried It. and the remedy Itself Is within the reach of everybody. If the hypoder mic needle is not at hand, a milking tube can be used In Its place. The following is taken from the columns of the "Ore gon Agriculturist:'' J. J. Adams, a correspondent of the Jersey Bulletin, who lives at Madison. Neb., relates the cure of a milk fever case in a neighbor's herd as follows: "After one has a cow the equal of which he hardly ever expects to have again and loBes her with that dreaded disease, milk fever, then and not tllV then will he realize the importance of having a rem edy that, has proven satisfactory at least in a large percentage of cases where It has been administered. I have had but one case of milk fever In my herd (and that about four years ago) which proved fatal. Then I began to realize the neces sity of a remedy in case of another vic tim. Fortunately, so far. I have not had another case, but I wish to report a case which came under my observation a few days ago, and wish to state right here that I think where the proper apparatus for administering oxygen is not avail able, do the next best thing and do It quick. "The case Is as follows: On March 19. 1901. about 4 a. m., the cow la high grade Jersey) dropped a calf and was ap parently all right. In about 7 hours she went down with milk fever. About S p. m. the local veterinary surgeon was sent for. He found her down on her side, unconscious at 7 o'clock p. m ; tempera ture 103 1-2 degrees. He Immediately ar ranged his apparatus, which consisted of a large hypodermic needle (with the point ground off) a piece of rubber tubing and a bicycle pump simple, isn't It? Her bag was blown up nearly as large as a tub and she was left lying on her side for the night (and I might add, for dead) but at 5 o'clock a. m., March 20, she was stand ing at the manger eating. At 8 a. m. her temperature was 101 degrees, and she Is now giving about four gallons of milk per day. "Would state, however, In connection with the above treatment, that the appar ratus was thoroughly sterilized and dis infected with a solution of carbolic acid before being used." Prof. L. H. Bailey, of Cornell Univers ity, says that the air cure for milk fever was discovered by the New York State Veterinary College. This college discov ered that cows affected with this disease are promptly cured by the distension of their udders through the Injection into the teats of filtered atmospheric air by means of a simple apparatus like the Davidson syringe, with an attachment of sterilized rubber tubes, containing a filter of sterile coton. Escaped An Awful Fate. Mr. H. Haggins, of Melbourne, Fla., writes: "My doctor told me I had Con sumption and nothing could be done for me. I was given up to die. The offer of a free trial bottle of Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption induced me to try it. Results were startling. I am now on the road to recovery and owe all to Dr. King's New Discovery. It surely saved my life." This great cure Is guar anteed for all throat and lung diseases by Howell & Jones, druggists. Price 60c and tl.00. Trial bottles free. ft 4 4 farmers' Comer ? 4 4 v P ' Cars of the Calf. The low price ot beef cattle makes It undesirable to Weep a row simply for the calf that she produces, and for this reason It la gradually dawning upon the thoughtful farmer that he must get a profit from the cow above the calf she produces. . And to do this he must have cattle, even for beef, that ar pretty strong In mllk-glving qualities, so that her milk can be creamed and the calf reared on skim milk, says the Stock. Home and Farm. It la not necessary to give the calf whole milk more than one week; the second week It can take half whole milk and half skim, and the third week it can be given skim milk only. It should not remain with the dam more than one day. so that It will readily learn to drink from the pall. During the first week It may be fed three times a day. giving from three to four pints of Its dam's milk at each feeding. The quantity should not be lh creased until the fourth week, and then by only about one pint lit a feed. The feeding should be done with strict regu larity, both as to time of feeding and quantity given ' A calf does not . know when It has enough, so the responsibility rests with the feeder. Great care should also be taken about the temperature of the milk, and It should be given In a clean tin pall. Never feed calves out of a trough, ns It, will cause scours and other disorders. If scours should develop, put half a tea spoonful of lenolcum In a couple of messes of milk. The milk should be gradually Increased fj that by the time It Is three months old It will receive about ten pints at a feed. As soon as It will take It. give a little onts or bran, or a mixture of equal parts of them, but do not give more bran than It will eat up clean. It should also have a little fine hay of good quality Success does not depend so much upon quantity of feed as It docs upon method of feeding. Including regularity. Care should also be taken to not expose the voung calf to cold rains, damp quarters or hot sun. fruitful sources of Indigestion, colic, etc. A calf's future usefulness largely depends upon the manner In which It Is developed during the first six months. If carried through this critical period In a thrifty cond'tlon. the chances are that It will piove satisfactory for the object for which It is reared. Is the Horse Having Good Care? During the busy months of the year farmers are anxious to get all the work possible out of their horse, which is proper enough. Food alone will not do the trick A horse may be fed the b-st rations, but he nVds care In addition, so try these things, which may seem simple, but which will do a great deal toward making the horse contented and more valuable to you. Keep his coat clean, not only by brushing and the use of the comb, but use wav r on him freely, es pecially during the warm period. When his work for the c"y Is done take a sponge and wash each part of his cat where the harness touched If his mus cles are sore, take eiual parts of Iodine and sweet oil, mix them und rub the mix ture well Into the Joints and tendons. Wach out his mouth occasionally, and take care of his feet. Above all. in warm weather see that his stable Is well venti lated and that screens are placed so that vermin are kept from annoying him. In watering the horse let him have It be fore eating, and also a small supply be. tween meals If he is warm. It will not hurt htm unless you give him too much. Profit Had In Some Weeds. It will Interest farmers to know that a large percentage of the weeds that cacse them annoysnce and hard work from one end of tho. year to the other may be turned Into a source of profit. Also. It may be of Interest to those who don't worry over the troubles of the farmer to know that many of the crude drugs of the present day are made from these same weeds. .The American farmer has spent time and energy In destioylng these weeds. In parts of Europe the farmer has turned the pests to account, and the roots, leaves and flowers of several of the weeds that do great damage In this coun try are gathered, prepared and cured. In addition, these weeds are the source of crude drugs which are obtained In this country almost solely through Importa tion. M'Kh valuable Information on this sub ject has been gathered by Miss Alice Henkel, who has been making an Investi gation of drug and medicinal properties in plants for the Department of Agri culture at Washington. It Is contained In a pamphlet Just Issued by the depart ment. f he prices paid for the crude drugs of which the weeds are the source are not tempting enough to lead any one to grow weeds as a matter of business, but so far as the farmer who has to get rid of weeds Is concerned, once the weeds have been dug the work of preparing them for the market Is not gTeat. There are many plants used In medi cine, but the following may be classed as weeds: Burdock, dandelion, the dock couch grass and pokeweed principally root drugs), foxglove, mullein, lobelia, tansy, gum plant, scaly grlndella bone set, catnip, hoarhound, yarrow, fleabane, blessed thistle, Jlmsonweed and poison hemlock (of Which the leaves, flowers, herbs or seeds are used in medicine), also worm seed and black and white mustards, of which the seeds only are used. These plants each have a variety of names by which they are known In dif ferent localities. Dandelion, troublesome In lawns and meadows and known to everybody, is common throughout the United States. Last year 115,622 pounds of the root was Imported to this country at an aver age price of from four to six cents a pound. Several species of dock possess medi cinal properties. Including yellow dock, broad leaved dock and yellow rooted wafer dock. They are employed as blood purifiers and remedies for skin disease About 125,000 pounds are Imported every year at an average pries of from two to eight cents a pound. In Oregon, Washington and West Vir ginia, especially in dry, candy soil, fox glove, originally introduced into this country from Europe as an ornamental garden plant, has now become a weed. From it Is obtained digitalis. The' wild American weed has been as sayed and found to be as good as the European article. We Import front 40. 000 to 00,000 pounds of digitalis yearly, and It bring from six to eight cent a pound. Like foxglove, tansy ram to this country as a garden Itowsr, Now It has escaped cultivation and Is spread over the country In a wild state It has stim ulant and tonic properties, and we Im port about 30.000 pounds yearly. Iloarhound. well known remedy for colds. Is plentiful from Main to South Carolina and westward to the 1'iieltle coast. Europe sends us KS.inh) pounds every year, and It costs In the market as much as eight cents a pound. ltesldes other plants. Including yar row. Jlmsonweed. poison hemlock, Amer ican wotmseed. of which we hnirt more or less for medicinal purposes, there are the mustard, white and Mack. Black mustard Is common in eveiy state In the Union. In California white and black mustard are under cultivation. In Southern Cali fornia It 1 a great pest, covering thous ands of acre and forming dense. Im penetrable thickets over six feet In height. White or yellow mustard Is not so abundant or so widely distributed as black mustard, but it Is found along cultivated hind and fence rows. During the fiscal year ended June 30. 1903. this country' Imported S.IU'.'.IT pounds of white and Mack mustard. The aeiage price was from three to six cents a pound. Of Course, none of the drugs should be taken without the advice of a physlctun. Tin collector should also be sure that the plant he Is gathering 1 the right one. Some of the plants are poisonous, but there should be no trouble In fixing the identity of the plant. Mysterious Circumstance. One was pale und sallow and the other flesh and rosy.
