Such remedies as the home afforded were applied In vain, and finally it was decided that Mrs. Peterson should take the little one to civilization and medical attention. Ac cordingly, she made the Journey of nine miles to Lake Qulniault. Here the services of an Indian and his canoe were sought, and the trip down the Quiniault River made. Krom the mouth of the river the woman and her sick child reached Moclips. and thence they came by train to Aberdeen. After the wife left, the father stood the suspense as long as he rould. Finally he left the two re maining children In care of neighbors, and. turning his chickens and stock loose to gain their own living. Mr. Peterson left his home in the valley and started for civilization afoot. It required two days to make the t-ip, arid lie arrived in Aberdeen to find his child had died.

At the barracks the people of Vancouver have a fine opportunity to see the soldiers drill and to hear the bands play when they give concerts. Drilling is interesting to watch, and many persons, when they arrive In Portland, having learned before that Vancouver Barracks are near to the Rose City, make it a point to come across the Columbia River for no other reason than to visit the barracks and parade grounds and watch the soldiers drill. Even the police are many times called uo by persons in hotels in Portland, asking for information as to when the soldiers can be seen drilling. Telephone operators are also asked, and the newspaper offices receive numerous calls of such a nature. Following is the schedule of drilling at Vancouver Barracks: On the parade roun5.

Secretary Was With Jap anese Army in Russian Waij. C. V. Hibbard. who is to address the men's meeting at the Young Men's Christian Association at 3 o'clock this afternoon, was probably In closer touch with the Japanese army during the Manchurian campaign against Russia than any other American. Mr. Hibbard will talk about his experiences at that time, and it Is expected his address will be one of the most interesting on the subject ever given, in this city. A a secretarv of the Y. M. C. A., Mr. Hbbard and a few of his associates were allowed to accompany the Japan ese army in Manchuria at a time when even the newspaper correspondents were prevented from doing so.

Mr. Hibbard is National secretary for Japan and one of the foremost men in the Y. M. C. A. work.

Line Positions, With Kxception of Ends, Well Taken Care of New Men Get Tryouts. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Coi vallis, Or., Oct. 16. (Special.) Coach Metzger is making a desperate effort to find the men who will be able to best represent O. A. C. on the gridiron this Fall. He thought that be had the problem solved several times, only to have his plans overturned by some unforeseen development. The ap proach of the big games makes it im possible to defer his final decision much longer; it must be made this week. The line positions, with the excep tion of the ends, seem to be pretty well taken care of. Dunn appears to have the center Job in his pocket. Hawley and Davis have been playing the guard positions all week, with very little com petition, captain Evenden will beyond doubt play at one tackle, and Dinges seems to be making good on the other side of the line. The end rushes are still in doubt. The same combination has not been used at the ends two successive days for the past two weeks. Sitton is mak ing the strongest bid for one of the places. He has nev. r played the game, but is strong 'and a willing worker. Breithaupt is faster and knows mora football, but is llgllt. Jriuniiey. wuu never set foot on a gridiron before his appearance on the field Wednesday aft ernoon, has impressed Metzger as a man who has great possibilities, and, as a result, he is getting a great deal of attention. The loss of Wolff has forced almost a complete change in the back field. Keck has been put back in his old place at fullback, and Gilbert is in at quarter. Bergman is back at rights half, and Endberg continues at left half. The change makes the back field lighter and forces Gilbert in as field general a position which he has not proved him self qualilled to fill.

Resolutions were passed extending thanks to the press for notices and re ports of the various sessions and also to the transportation companies for rates given and courtesies extended. After a brief session in the afternoon the visitors were entertained by the local club. The entertainment consisted of a trip to Gol David hill to view the vine yards and the scenery. Later the wom en, through the courtesy of the manager of a local milk condenser, were shown through that establishment. The delegates from The Dalles who are members of the Sorosis Club of that city were: iMrs. Logan, Mrs. A:nes Bradshaw and Mrs. William Bingfeld. GAME ENDS IN FIST FIGHT ter city today.

Talks on Teetk BV TUB JIKX DENTAL CO. PYORRHEA The (Bete Noire) most dreaded dls- 1 case of the dental profession is alveolar pyorrhea, commonly known as Kiggs' disease. Pyorrhea simply means a dis charge of pus, or suppuration, and i alveolar pyorrhea, naturally, means a discharge of pus from the alveolus. ! It usually begins with an unffesy scn-l satlon in the gums and teeth, which soon" becomes painful. In the early stages of j the disease the margin of the gums pre- j sent decided inflammatory action and , bleed copiously from slight causes. As ; the disease Drotresses the inflammation ; extends deeper into the substance of the gum, whicli becomes greatly congested with venous blood, swollen, and exhibits a tendency to separate from the necks of the teeth, which give rise to the for mation of small sacs filled with pus. The gum3 fall away and in consequence the teeth become loose and change their positions. There is frequently a separa tion and protrusion tf the superior ana inferior front teeth, with a tmck, fetid discharge about their necks, wuini cause a disagreeable taste and very of fensive breath. The gum at this stago of the disease Is of a dark purple or livid hue; it mav also become granular and covered with fungus excrescences. At an extreme stage of the disease, com plete destruction of the alveoli and of . considerable portion of the gum occurs, and the teeth are held in place by a rough, ligamentous attachment, which was formerly the peridental membrane. The rooti of tho teeth become coated with a laver of calculus, me gums t-uu- , tinue to recede, and the full of the en- tire dental structure is threatened. The cause of this disease is local, sucll ; as irritants in the uaturr- of salivary and sanguinary calculus. The profession is divided in its opinion as to the exact origin of the disease, but our experience i leads us to believe that it is local, be cause when the local manifestations urn properly removed tho disease Ulsap- PUTnTs is tho disease, as has been said, which dentists upon the whole have giy en up as incurable, and yet we claim to I be able to cure it. We have oases of pyorrhea at cur office every day. It is a much more common disease than you would think. The majority of people who are wearing sets of false teeth todaN started in with pyorrhea.
