THE MOKING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19,-1900. ONLYTWO MEMBERS Bill Gives Washington No Extra Congressman. LEADERS WILL PRESS MEASURE Several Other States Protest and Matter May Go Over This Term Pueet Sound Naval Station's Increased Appropriation. WASHINGTON', Dec 18. The Congres sional reapportionment bill which was prepared by Chairman Hopkins and fa vorably reported by the census commit tee does not allow an additional Repre sentative to the State of Washington, al though the Crumpacker and Burleigh bll:& assign three members to that state. It Is the intention of the House leaders to press the Hopkins bill, but that meas ure reduces the representation of Ohio, Indiana, Maine, Nebraska, Washington and several Southern States, which all rebel, and put up a stubborn fight against such an apportionment. The boiters generally favor the Bur leigh bill, which provides' for 387 mem bers, and it Is possible that they will stir up such an opposition that the entire question may go over to the next Con gress. Both Washington Representatives are fighting the Hopkins bill, and wih be supported by the Senators. Cushman Is for the Burleigh measure, thinking it stronger on a basis of 1S4.000 than a bill It nearer 2W00, which would let his state in on three members. Jones is for any bill which will give Washington three members. Chairman Foss, of the naval commit tee, assures Representative Jones that the Puget Sound naval station will re ceive a more generous appropriation this year than last. FIRE IX WOOLEX MILLS. Blaze Discovered In Time, and Large Dsnmec Was Averted. OREGON CITY. Dec IS. A Arc broke out In the washed wool stored in the picker department of the woolen mills this afternoon, probably from a steam pipe, but was extinguished before the damage was extensive.

The extent of the damage cannot be ascer tained until the wool Is overhauled. Clackamas and Incorporation. The residents of Clackahias Station held another Incorporation meeting last njgnt, and after considerable discussion post poned the matter until Monday night. A purso will be raised to defray the ex pense of an injunction suit against stor ing powder within a specified distance of the public &chool building, provided it is decided not to incorporate The prin cipal object in incorporating Is to pass an ordinance making it unlawful to store powder In the city limits, but the ques tion now to be decided is which would bo the most effective plan to securo re lief. Recently the Vigorit Powder Com pany erected a large magazine within about 200 yards of the railroad depot, but have stored no powder there up to this time. The California Powder Com pany also has a powder magazine a short distance away, and, in the event that the town shall be incorporated. It was the intention to make the boundary lines Include both magazines. It is claimed by the advocates of incorporation tnM a largo majority of the citizens are op posed to storing powder so near their homes. ASIILAXD AGAIXST SALOONS.

CIIEHALIS WANTS BETTER WATER. Analysis of Present Supply Proves Tliat It Is Impure. CHEHALIS, Wash., Dec IS. At a meet ing of the City; Council last night, a reso lution was introduced ana passed declar ing the water now supplied the place from tho well of the Chehalls Water Com pany to be impure, and demanding that water be furnished from some other source The company furnished water from a pumping station on the Newau kum River until this Summer, when a well on the flat inside the limits of the town was dug. A complete pumping piant was put in and the Improvement Is said to have cost about 5S000. The new well drained many wells in town, and It was the supposition that some Impure sources of water were included. The City Council took the matter Jn hand and secured a chemical analysis or the water by Professor Byers, of the State University, who pronounced the water Im pure. Water will again be supplied the city from the pumping station on the river. During the Winter time this supply Is generally considered satisfactory, but In the Summer It Is not.

The Deal Is Generally Regarded as One of Great Importance to the Sparta District. BAKER CITY, Dec IS. The old Gem mine. In the Sparta district, has been bonded to Denver capitalists. The deal Is generally taken to mean mat the prop erty Is to be worked on a large scale Colorado mining men are known to be thoroughly progressive, and once they take hold of a proposition they .keep "everlasting at It" until Its full value Is determined. Schooled In a formation pe culiar to that state, and where many time-honored precedents failed, they do not stampede at a dyke, such as are found in .many good mines of Eastern Oregon, DR. JAMES ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKERS AT THE FARMERS' HELD AT STAFFORD. as Colorado has much of the dyke forma tion. They have found that great values go with depth In their own state, and so far as they have expressed themselves on Eastern Oregon, believe the same rule applies here, although there are few In stances where the Idea has been put Into execution. The Gem represents the greatest depth attained In Sparta, It has one perpen dicular shaft 190 feet deep, another 87 feet, and an Incline on the vein down 450 feet. Considerable development has been done on the extreme lower level, thus testing the permanence of the vein at that depth. Those who have Inspected the Gem freely stato that there Is no visible reason why sinking should not continue The Gem is one of the oldest producers in this region. It is situated In the midst of the rich placer diggings of early days. What it yielded In pre-statlstle days Is not known, but reports handed down from mouth to mouth are very fa vorable. It has been Idle for a con siderable period, but not In an altogether abandoned state. The property has al ways ranked as a mine, although not active, and has been looked upon as holding values for the management that would work It properly. Last February, F. J. Perkins, of Portland, acquired the property; first by bond and later by purchase A single hoist englno of 12 horsepower, and a SO-gallon Dow steam pump were immediately Installed. The property was cleared of water, which had accumulated In the lower levels, and de velopment work was begun. A consider able force was employed during the Sum mer. Seven claims are included in the property, one of which, the Gem, Is pat ented, and the others are held by loca tion. No figures aro given out as to the amount of the bond. Both parties lnterst ed regard this information as private. Various rumors are heard, some of which placo the sum at $50,000. The time when tho new management will take possession and begin operations Is not divulged, but It Is understood to be In the near fu ture Ore values in the Gem vary, like those In all other properties that have come to rank as good producers. Some of the ore Is known to have been remarkably rioh. No records have been found show ing how much of this class of quartz was removed, but from the walls left and the face of the ledge where work ceased, it is estimated that the Gem yielded handsomely. The ore Is almost entirely free milling, there being a very small per cent of sulphurets. The quartz is easily mined. Tho Gem. like other properties In tho Sparta and Sanger districts, is remark ably easy of access. The country is one of low hills of gentle slope. Nowhere is found the rugged mountain sides where quartz veins are usually located. Fuel is convenient. The greatest advantage, how ever, is tne nne water power or .agie Creek, six miles distant, where an elec tric powr plant Is contemplated. With such a plant in operation, the Gem would be able to secure power at a trifling cost. GOOD POSITION FOR. MIXING MAX. Elected Manager of Irfirge Smelter nt Salnrr of ?10,000 Per Year.

Xargre Gain in Nnmber of Cnrables Statistics of Institution Several ' Recommendation. SALEM, Dee IS. Superintendent J. F. Calbreath, of the Oregon Insane Asylum, today made his biennial report to tht: board of trustees of that intltutlon. Or the 24 months lni the biennial term. Dr. D. A. Paine served as superintendent tor 13 months, and Dr. Calbreath filled tho office for the remaining U months. The report opsns with the following statistical Information regarding the population ot the institution: Males. Females. Total Iso. of patients Dee 1. 1S06 7S3 375 1160 No. admitted during term 44 232 6t9 No. escapes returned.. 32 ... 32 Whole .number under treatment 1263 COS 1S71 Discharged, recovered. 115 71 217 Discharged, much im proved 54 45 100 Discharged, Improved.. 32 S3 65 Discharged, not im proved 25 14 40 Discharged, not insane. 2 .. 2 Died 132 92 224 Escaped 50 ., 50 Discharged, died and escaped 442 58 693 Total remaining No vember 30, 1000 821 352 1173 The dally average population during the term was 1166J. "It is noted that the proportion of cures has risen to 31.9 per cent on admissions during the term, and to ll'.i per cent on the whole number treated. When we re member that the general average of pa tients discharged as cured in the United States is approximately 20 per cent on the admissions and ours has reached 31.9 per cents it certainly affords satisfaction. Of the whple number remaining in the hos pital, November 30, 1900, It Is considered that 102 of them may be classed as cura ble; 9S0 Jncurable, and 91 doubtful. The check placed upon committing person because of the temporary aberration Inci dent to the Immediate effects of the "drug habits" and their defective control of the same, has been effective. Only those really Insane, either colncldently or as a result, have been received." Criminal Insane. "Representations have been made In former reports, calling attention to the Impropriety of associating the Insane, the idiotic, the epileptic, and those affectea with tuberculosis. And to this list may well be added the criminal Insane. The last class is entitled to just and intelli gent consideration, both in the framing and operation of laws. If the person who commits an act knows its nature ana quality, and that it is wrong, but through mental aberration, the result ol disease, is irresistibly urged to commit the act, should he. In Justice, be sent to the prison? If his self-control has been so undermined by disease that even trifling provocation or temptation suffices to over come it, so that he cannot resist the im pulse to commit a crime, should he, in justice, be sent to the prison? Such per sons constitute a menace to community safety, and the latter must be protected; but this safety can be subserved without the stigma of felon or convict attached to the irresponsible criminal. "Rigid and separate provision should be made for the safe detention of such per sons when convicted, but they should not be classed among ordinary criminals. On the other hand, it is unfair and unwise to place the criminal Inane with the othev classes, because of personal dangers, dif ficulty of management, danger of escape and their contaminating association. That both these objectionable conditions exist In Oregon today Is a matter of common knowledge." Indlvldnnl Treatment. "Of tho cases ordinarily admitted to the Insane asylum, it Is probable that over one-third have, apparently, a fair chancs for cure. With the ordinary care ana treatment, the greater part of this one third attains recovery, but it Is unde niably true that there is a certain propor tion whose prospects hinge entirely upon the degree and quality of the Individual treatment they receive at first. The receni patient should, most emphatically, be met at the very door with the most advanced plans of Individualized practice. To this end trained nurses must be utilized, and they must be further equipped by special training in this branich of service. With our present knowledge, the greatest effi ciency can be secured in no other way. This plan would necessarily entail some greater relative expense, but If a greater curative success were reached, there would be no better financial Investment, nor one more cordially applauded by citi zens of our state." It Is recommended that the system of conveying patients be changed so as to provide that asylum officials shall attend the patients during their transportation to the capital. In support of this, statis tics are presented, showing that In Idaho the cost of transportation has been re duced. It is estimated that the general appro priation for the ensuing term of two years be the same us during the last two years, J2SS.00O. Other appropriations are advised aggregating 157,525, the principal items of which are $24,000 for finishing and furnishing the new wing, closed cottage and new kitchen and for repairing and painting all the buildings; $15,800 for light, lng, and $10,000 for the purchase of 25 acres of land upon which to store fire wood. The financial statement for the term shows that the total expenditures for articles consumed was $14S,4S1 99; total pay-roll, $131,710 74; pay of board of trus tees and clerk, $1333 33; grand total, $2S1, 505 05.

Men Who Starve Themselves to Accumulate Money. There is a certain fearful fascination about the stories of the misers of the past. ' Th e money they accumulated was of no more practical value to them than the trinkets stolen and secreted by some magpie or. jackdaw. They hid it from the sight and use of men and in silence and secret gloated over the useless wealth. To gathet it they lived on crusts or offal, grudged clothes to cover them and fire to warm them, lived starved lives and in not a few cases died of starvation. That was the old-time miser. The modern raiser resembles this man of the past in the particular that he frequently dies of starvation. In his eagerness to gather money he pays small heed to the claims of health. He eats anything, anyhow, anywhen, and anywhere. He doesn't eat crusts by any means nor spare his purse to fill his stomach. The mistake he makes is in thinking that when a man has filled his stomach that is the end of the busi ness of feeding. Instead of being the end of feeding it's only the beginning. There is no value in food unless it is digested, converted into nutrition fend assimilated. These processes depend upon the healthfulness of the stomach nd the other organs rf digestion and nutrition. When thesi organs are dis eased they cannot extract the nutrition from the food received into the stomach and the body becomes weak through lack of nourishment. One day this "weakness" begins to find a special de velopment in some chief organ, heart, Uver, lungs, kidneys, ete, to which the man succumb3. Tne doctor's certificate reads "heart disease," "kidney disease," as the case may be. But the real reading of the certificate should be: STARVED 10 DEATH. The truth of this statement is appar ent. The body is sustained by food digested and assimilated. But the body is made up of its parts and organs, and when the stomach 13 "weak," digestion imperfect, and the nutrition extracted from food inadequate to the needs of the body, the result is shared by every part and organ of the body. For this reason no man is stronger than his stomach, and no organ sustained by the stomach can be stronger than the stomach. Therefore when we hear of "weak" stomach we are pretty sure we are going iO hear in time of " weak " heart, " weak" lungs, "weak" kidneys, or weakness of some other organ of the body dependent on the stomach and associated organs of digestion and nutrition. Now these things bcinjj true when a man has heart "trouble," liver "trouble," St. Clair, of Tacoma, was picked up by tho railroad section hands about lour miles north of. here at 8:30 this morning. He was lying near the railroad track, in an almost unconscious condition. Accord ing to his own statement he was stealing a ride on a freight tram, and, falling asleep, lost his hold on the truss rods. He fell on the outside of the rails and was dragged some distance. This oc curred at about 3 A. M., and he was not discovered until 8:30 A. M. The man was well dressed, and says that until lately he was employed In the revenue service Although very weak from exposure, he does not appear to be dangerously hurt. He Is mangled slightly about the leez, and one arm hurt. INDIAN FATALLY WOUNDED. Assailant Was a White Man Resnlt ol a. Kisrnt.

BE WISE AND USE SAPOLIO kidney "trouble," ete, where is the first place to look for the cause of the dis ease? Why. where else can it be but the stomach? The most probable cause of these forms of "weakness" is defici ent nutrition resulting from the "weak " condition of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. And if these diseases of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, ete, begin in the stomach they must be cured through the stomach. IT'S AX EVERY DAY AFFAIR to receive letters reporting the cure ol diseased kidneys, weak heart, torpid liver, or lung "trouble" through the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. But one may say, "'Golden Medical Discovery is a medicine for the stom ach find blood, in particular." Exactly so. And that is why it cures diseases remote from the stomach but which have their origin in disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery cures diseases of the stomach and digestive and nutritive systems. The food taken into the body is then con verted into nutrition which is supplied to heart, lungs, kianeys, and other organs which are made strong bv nutrition. Disease is thrown off. New strength comes to every tissue and fiber of the body. "I cuffered for four years with pain in my stomach so that at times I couldn't work nor eat," writes Mr. Frank Smith, of Granite, Chaffee Co.,Colo. "I wrote to you about my sickness and was told to use your medicine, which I did with good results. I only used four bottles of youj- 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and must say that I am entirely cured, and feel like a new man, and I can highly recom mend vour mediciae to any sufferer." "I was troubled with malarial fever of about three years' standing and was under doctors' care for quite a time," writes Mr. J. F. Kidd, of Parmleysville, Wayne County, Ky. "They had almost given mc up, and my suffering was very great. My pulse was weak, breath short and I had severe pains in back, head and legs. Had palpitation of heart, and from June 1st, 1895, to May 1st, 1S93, 1 was net able to do a day's work. I purchased five bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and before I had finished taking the first two lxttlcs I was very much better of my disease of three years' standing. I continued taking the medicine, and by the time the fifth bottle was gone I was a well man. I can cheerfully recom mend Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discover- to any similar sufferer." "In 1898, "one cf my daughters was suffering on account ot a severe cough, hectic fever, wasting of flesh and other symptoms of diseased lungs," writes Rev. Joseph II. Fesperraan, of Barium Springs, Iredell Co., N. C "I promptly gave her Dr. R. V. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis cover', with gratifying success, and she now enjoys excellent health. This ex perience caused me to recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines to my neighbors, who, without exception, us-i'l them with fa vorable results. This being true, I here by heartily endorse your mediciue3.,' SIMPLY GRAND. "Your book, the People's Common Sense Medical Adviser,' is all that one could wish," writes Mrs. S. J. Simpson, of 151 South Fourth Street, San Jose, California, "and more than could be ex pected in one voIutic. It is simply grand, and should be in every home." Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, 1008 large paijcs, is snnt free, on receipt of stamps, to pay expense of mailing only.
