I shall tomorrow place the matter

Board of Health have said through the
press that they have personal knowledge
of the death of several Infants which
they declare was the result of drinking
tubercular milk. If that is true, it la
time the situation was being officially In
vestigated. By making these statements,
these physicians place themselves per
sonally responsible under the law. which.
In denning the duties of the State Board
of Health, provides as follows:
The Governor shall appoint a Stats Vet

protest against being made the "fall guy"

latton are observed. In making these
Investigations It la his duty, upon sus
pecting that a herd is diseased, to re
port the fact immediately to the State
Veterinarian, who, through the State
Board of Health, then assumes charge
of the case In the performance of these
duties, the Board Is backed up with nu
merous laws and has funds provided by
the state for enforcing their provisions.
When the condition of the Rolfcs- herd
was reported to my office two weeks ago
yesterday, word was Immediately sent
to the Slate Veterinarian, who has not
yet responded In' person to conduct the
necessary Investigation. Complaint that
were received from Eugene six months
ago and of which the same officer re
ceived prompt notification, also remain
without Investigation. Whenever a com
plaint is received at our office, notifying
us of a diseased herd, we notify the
State Veterinarian at once.
Ills Duties Are Different.
"My duties as Dairy Commissioner re
specting diseased cows are defined In
Section 21 of the Oregon Dairy Law.
which says in part: 'And If there be
any suspected diseased cows or other
animals belonging to or about the dairy
said Dairy and Kood Commissioner shall
notify the State Veterinarian.' .
"Much ado has been made of a state
ment I made a few days ago when I

tend that such is the ease, and my con
tention la supported by the records of
the United States Department of Agri
culture. Circular No. 118. Issued by that
department, includes the following obser
vations as to cows afflicted with tuber
culosis: The dangerously tuberculosis cow Is an
animal that may long retain the appearance
of perfect health. The dangerously tubercu
losis cow. long after shs has become dan
gerous, may continue to look and act like a
healthy cow. If shs Is a member of a herd
that Is thin. then. too. she Is thin: on the
other hand. If she Is a member of a sleek,
fat herd, .he mar be the sleekest and fat
test of the lot.
"FTom the foregoing It may be seen
how difficult tt Is to detect diseased
dairy herda. The only reliable way to
determine the physical condition of cat
tle, afflicted with tuberculosis, is by
employing the scientific test, which re
quires from two to three days. To apply
this test to the cattle of the state would
require the services of 10.000 Inspectors
for the greater part of an entire week."

CALL SURPRISES"FLOCK
REV. A. 3. MONTGOMERY WANT

Pastor of Second Presbyterian Away
on Vacation Elders Know
Naught of Change.
Members of the Third Presbyterian
Church were surprised yesterday when
told of a dispatch from Chicago stating
that their pastor. Rev. Andrew J. Mont
gomery, had accepted a call to the Sec-
ond Presbyterian Church in Oak Park, a
suburb of Chicago, and the consensus of
opinion waa that there had been a mis
take made. It was not possible to com
municate with Dr. Montgomery who is
camping with his family at Mount Hood.
Several of the elders and other offi
cials of the Third Church stated their
belief that had Dr. Montgomery deter
mined on a change of pastoral ties, he
would have communicated first with his
Portland friends.
Several months ago. Dr. Montgomery
received a call to become the pastor of
the church at Oak Park. TO. and In
response to a general request from the
members of the Third Presbyterian
Church, and from many Presbyterians
in different psrts of Oregon, that he
should remain in this city, the Invita
tion to Oak Park was declined. It Is
known, however, that Dr. Montgomery's
duties aa pastor of the Third Presby
terian Church and his work on the Home
Mission Board have made unusual de
mands on his physical strength. A tele

Church relations between Dr. Mont
gomery and the members of the Third
Presbyterian Church are most narmO'
nioue. The church membership Is steadily
Increasing and all financial obligations
are being met. Only a short time ago a
house adjoining the Third Church, on
East Pine street near Thirteenth, was
bought by the congregation for the
pastor. The residence is now valued at
J5000 and la used by Dr. Montgomery as
a home for himself and family. Previous
ly the pastor rented a home on East
Fifteenth street. In Dr. Montgomery's
absence on vacation, his pastoral duties
aro filled by Robert M. McLean, a stu

Total value, $4,000,000.
The regon wool season of 1!)09,
whlcn has now been brought to a
close, has been one of the most sue
cessful in the history of the state.
The yield was large and the price
high, and the growers are entirely
satisfied with the result. It has also
been a profitable year, so far as It has
gone, for the dealers.
The wool clip of Oregon this year
netted the farmers of the state about
$4,000,000. They have also received
verv good prices for their, mutton,
sheep and lambs, and are altogether In
as prosperous a condition as tne iarm'
era In other parts of the state who
have devoted their energies to raising
grain. '
Weather Was Just Right.
It has been an ideal year for the
Oregon sheep men with the weather
right at every season to produce the
best results. As a consequence, the
output was larger than it haa been in
recent years and the quality was pet
ter. At the same time there was a
sharper demand from buyers and prices
were higher.
The total wool clips of Oregon and
their 'value in the past four years were
as foflowa:

UI07 SO. 000. 000 3,800.000
1908 18.000.000 .3,240.000
Fleeces Heaviest In Years.
The quality of the wool was excel
lent. It was of better staple than last
year though of heavier shrinkage,
owing to the dry Spring. The average
weight of the fleeces was placed at
pounds, the heaviest average ever
known in the state. The wool snearea
fully one pound to the fleece more
than it did last year.
The highest price paid during the
season In Eastern Oregon was zj
cents, which was realized on a part
of one clip at Shaniko. The larger
part of the best grades sold between
20 and 22 cents. Some scouring wools
went at 13 cents, and other coarse
grades moved at prices up to 17 cents.
For the clip, as a whole, the average
price was about 19 cents.
The bulk of the 1903 output was
contracted by dealers on the sheep's
back and most of the remainder was
disposed of after shearing' at private
sale. The only public sealed bid sales
were held at Shanlko. Sales were
scheduled to be held at tne other uaual
points but did not materialize, as there
was not enough wool lett unsold on the
scheduled dates to attract buyers.
The contract market opened at 20
cents, at which several million pounds
changed ownership. Wools of the same
class later sold at a slight Increase,
in fact the market was a strong one
from start to finish. The early sell
ers, however, were satisfied and there
was little disposition shown to hold
wools back.
Prices Reach 2 6 Cents.
The Willamette Valley clip was of
about the same size and of practically
the same quality as last year.. Like
the sheepmen east of the mountains,
the growers of the Va ley profited by
the improvement in th world's mar
ket and secured bettir prices than
they had for several years. The top
price paid for Valley wool was 26
cents. Buyers continue to complain,
however, of the poor shape In which
many of .the farmers put up their wool.
Only one eastern Oregon cup was
sent to -the co-operative warehouse at
Chicago. The woolgrowers' plan . of
Tiandllng their own clips and ellminat
ng the middlemen has many adherents
In Idaho, Montana and other western
states, but does not seem to be popu
lar with the Oregon producers.
There was apparently no friction
this year between buyers and sellers.
and the season throughout was marked
by the most harmonious feeling on
both sides. In previous years there
was always more or less farmers" talk
of combination among buyers, but
nothing was heard of it this year. The
sheepmen evidently concluded that
prices were fixed by supply and de
mand conditions and not Dy Duyers.
It is believed that the largest part
of the clip In the state is still in the
hands of Eastern merchants. There
have been big transfers of wool at
Boston from dealers to manufacturers
In the past few weeks, but nearly all
the sales have been of territory wools.
The mills seem to have given the pref
erence to such grades. At the Bame
time the holders of Oregon wool de
clared they could not sell to advantage
on the current market, and therefore
held back their offerings. These hold
ings are In very strong hands and, for
tunately for them, . they have every
thing now in their favor, as the East
ern market is practically cleaned up
of all Western staple wools, except
Oregon's, and the demand Is far from
satisfied.
There Is not to exceed auu.OOO pounds
of wool now left In Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho, and this will probably
be bought up very soon and rushed to
the Atlantic seaboard.
