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.

WILL DEVELOP OREGON.
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.

SIMPLE CURE FOR MILK FEVER.
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.

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.
