Bottle Railed Coltt.
It I poHHlblo to ralHO colt on cow'
milk If It I gono about In tho right
way.
Give freshly-drawn milk from a cow
that doe not glvo the rlchoHt milk.
Add a dcHHcrtMpoonful of good white
augur to a pint of milk.
U Homo Mort of nipple which can
be put on a bottlo or tho (pout of a
teapot,
A now-born colt should bo fed at
leant ten time In twenty-four hour.
A htilfplnt 1 enough at firm.
Milk Hhould bo given from tho game
cow and fronhly drawn at each feeding
tlrno for several week.
Ily tho tlmo coltg are four month
old, they can bo given Mklm mllk, and
allowed to drink from a bucket like a
calf.
They Bhould be fed at leant four
Union a day at thl ago.
A Moon a poHHlblo they Hhould he
taught to nibble at cruHhed oat with ,
the hull Hleved out.
In a nhort tlmo add wheat bran and
a little oil meal, placed where the
colt can nibble at It when they wish.
If Rcoutng Hhould occur, Hcorch a
llttlo flour and put It with a llttlo llmo
water In tho milk.
If thl doe not Rtop It, get a good
veterinary Burgeon at once.
Do Hury that tho article In which
you feed the milk org kept Rcalded
and perfectly clean. A dirty vonael
will carry germ that will kill ft calf
or colt a quickly a polon.
If the colt are coiiMtlpated, put a
little melange In tho milk.

Keep down tho garlic, or tho garlic
will keep down the price of your milk

A herd of dirty, emaciated cow I
a plain advertlHoment of the owner'
lack of brain or hi downright Rhlft
leHHnoH. If tho cow' bag get caked before
Rho begin to glvo milk, you may have

ESTACADA, May 19. Edltor of

tho high Rchool quwttlon at Entacada.
In hi Rpeech Mr. Bcjinebel Raid that
Mr. Gary had recommended the high
Rchool to him and that he, Gary, wa
heartily In favor of It. Mr. Schuebel
made thl npooch at a later date than
hi alleged interview with Mr. Gary
mentioned In the Rtatement printed
In the paper. If Mr. Gary had told
Mr, Schuebel that he wa oppoed to
tho county high chool, It Reem
Htrango that Mr. Schuebel would have
quoted him a favoring It.
ProfenHor Read alo algned the ar
ticle In the paper itatlng that Pro
feor Oary had told him that he wa
A GOOD MAN FOR COMMISSIONER.
J. W. Smith, Democratic candidate

to Oregon with hi parent in 187S
and In 1878 nettled on the place which

til 190C, when on Bccountof the health
of hi family he cloned out hi store
and Hpent a winter In Iyia Angele,
California, returning to hi farm In

opposed to the high school. But Pro
fessod Read spoke at the Estacada
meeting along with Mr. Schuebel, and
Professor Read claimed that he and
Mr. Gary were entitled to much of
the'crcdlt for getting the law passed
that provides for establishing a county
high school by the vote of the peo
ple. He said also that he and Mr.
Gary had written letters to members
of the legislature in behalf of the law
and that Mr. Gary was enthusiastical
ly In favor of it. I don't see how Mr.
Schuebel and Mr. Read could attempt
to give out this false impression of
Mr. Gary's position on the subject of
a county high school after those Esta
cada speeches. Any one who attend
ed the Estacada meeting will verify
what I say about the matter.

RAIN SPOILS BASEBALL.
Opening of Canemah Park Is Deferred
Until May 30.
Rain spoiled the prospects for base
ball Sunday and the double-header be
tween the Papermakers and the East
Portland team was not played. The
Canemah Park Grounds were a sea of
mud and the ball players concluded it
would be useless to pull oft the games,
thereby disappointing several hundred
enthusiastic fans who were anticipat
ing a game worth while. .
The opening of Canemah Park Sat
urday was also blocked by the heavy
rains. Notwithstanding the damp
ness nearly 150 people went up to the
Park to spend the afternoon and ev
ening in dancing, but a tree had fallen
across the roof of the pavilion, mak
ln3 a number of small boles and the
floor was wet. The managers were
therefore compelled to call off the
opening, which will be held Saturday,
May 30.
The postponed baseball game will
be played next Sunday, when the fans
will have an. opportunity to see a
double-header.

N OVERWHELMING Majority of Oregon's voters
by registration have formally declared that they
believe In the principles of the Republican Par
ty. Let them show that they are honest by vot
ing In accordance with their declarations. The
Oregon election comes before the Republican Na
tional Convention. JLt every Republican in the
Frst Congressional District uphold the honor of
the Republican Party In Oregon and strengthen
the Influence of Oregon's delegation In the Na
tional Convention by voting for H. M. Cake for
United States Senator and W. C. Hawley for Rep
resentative In Congress. If either of these Re
publican nominees fall of election the primary
election system will be discredited and a return of
boss rule will be Invited. The good name of Ore
gon's voters will be smirched and Oregon's dele
gation to the National Convention will be placed
In a humiliating position. For the effect it will
have on the November election it is imperative
that the Republican nominees in the June election
shall be elected by an overwhelming majority. As
a believer in the principles of the Republican
party it is your duty to be at the polls June 1st,
and vote for Cake and Hawley.
