CORVALLIS, OREGON, Mar. 26, 1897.
SOME LINCOLN POULTRY.
It is perhaps not impertinent
to remark that the Gazette did
not support Senator Mitchell be
cause a lot of political old hens
throughout the state attached
themselves to his cause, but
rather despite that fact. It was
Mr. Mitchell's misfortune that
his active adherents were not all
such men as Judge Denny,
Chas. Fulton, Judge Carey, Sol
Hirsch and the Patterson boys.
He was handicapped by the
presence at Salem of a crowd of
peanut politicians who discredit
ed his otherwise respectable cam
paign with their unsought sup
port. This paper desired Senator
Mitchell's re-election because he
is able, experienced and influen
tial and could and would well
represent all of Oregon in the
national senate. It desired his
election because he is a republi
can. It desired his election be
cause he was the logical candi
date against a corrupt machine
that has betrayed the republican
party time after time. The GA
ZETTE advocated . his return, as
an Oregon newspaper interested,
in the welfare of the state, and
not as a Mitchell newspaper in
terested in the welfare of Sena
tor Mitchell. .
The Gazette has no fault to
find with those who honestly
and decently opposed Senator
Mitchell's re election. They
certainly had a right to their
judgment. But it is difficult to
understand how they can endorse
the desperate and dangerous
methods employed to defeat him,
and probably they do not. It is
believed, with reason, that recent
events, which have demonstrated
an unpardonable conspiracy be
hind the opposition to Mitchell,
win so influence nis nonest op
ponents that he will, eventually.
be returned to the United States
senate. wU
A genuine, honest, practical
sentiment is behind his candi
dacy. His support is not con
fined to the political biddies who,
having long ceased to lay, make
up in cackle what they lack in
usefulness. Senator Mitchell
can hardly help their roosting in
liis trees. There are a few of
these birds in Lincoln county,
For some comically mysterious
reason they are cackling at a few
Benton county republicans
They evidently desire the Ga
ZETTE to notice them, and the
Gazette, if anything,
ing.
is oblig-
An obscure little organ of
these dolorous fowls, with the
boldness of unimportance, in a
libelous screed, asks why the
Gazette did not abuse Senator
Carter and Representative Lake
for staying out of the joint con
vention. This is an astounding
question. The Gazette never
presumed to think for these gen
tlemen. Both are intelligent
and honest They doubtless
had as good a right to consider
the joint convention illegal and
iutile as others had to deem it
legal and important. The GA
ZETTE hoped that both would
enter the joint convention, for it
believed that such convention
was competent to elect a senator
and said so. But it does not feel
it' to be its duty to berate gentle
men for having opinions of their
own. It is but just to Senator
Mitchell to add that the senti
ments of. the little Newport
dodger are not his sentiments
nor are they in any way inspired
by him. He has only kindly
feelings for Senator Carter and
Representative Lake.
The Gazette never aspired
nor professed to have any partic
ular influence with either legisla
tors for Lincoln or Benton coun
ties. Nor has this paper any
"secret policy."
Messrs. Carter and Lake have
the respect of their fellow citi
zens, and the silly slanders of
an irresponsible fool will hardly
disturb their equanimity. This
paper cannot speak for them.
It only speaks for itself, and this
to satisfy local jnaligners.

IMPROPER CRITICISM.
The Eugene Guard demeans
itself by its recent attack upon
President Chapman, of the
Stale University. A man's
household arrangements cannot
be considered a legitimate sub
ject for newspaper criticisms.
The Guard condemns President
Chapman for employing a Jap
anese servant and adds:
"It may be the fault of lack
of aesthetic culture and training
that renders our western people
incapable of appreciating the
propriety of taking such a male
servant into a household compos
ed of but man and wife. Our
training, however, has been ac
quired in the wild and wooly
west, and we may not be capable
of appreciating the cosmopolitan
spirit and brotherhood-of-man
ethics displayed in daily house
hold association with the broth
er of the yellow race. We hope
we shall never advance to a stage
of culture where such compan
ionship will be agreeable."
The employing of Oriental
servants in the .United btates
was original with the "wild and
woolly west." But it is hardly
the custom, .as the Guard would
imply, in either the east or the
west, for families to make house
hold companions of their Chi
nese cooks.
The Guard has over-stepped
the bounds of newspaper propri
ety in its strictures. Ihe. em
ployment of family servants has
nothing to do with President
Chapman's educational and ex
ecutive abilities.
INDECENT JOURNALISM.
A vulgar and indecent adver
tisement appeared in the Orego
nian of March 18th. The lan
guage used would have shamed
the Police Gazette. It is need
less to remark that the Oregonian
is altogether too decent to'publish
such uncleanliness free. The
advertisement was too columns
wide and half a column long,
and was well paid for.
In the same issue, the Orego
nian editorially apologized for
filling its columns with prize
fight news, referred to Iugalls as
an "intellectual harlot" and re
marked that the "the idea that
girls., .should be protected from
fevit associations may be an old
one, but woe betide the family
in which it is recklessly disre
garded." The Portland Oregonian is a
synonym for shameless hypoc
racy. A QUESTION OF PARSNIPS.
A bushel of bulbs is the root
of the present trouble at the Ore
gon Agricultural College. The
botanical department is panic
stricken.
Prof. Hedrick and Mr. Maude,
of Monroe, have had a tilt con
cerning the plants that were re
cently experimentally fed to
calves on the college farm with
deadly effect. "Come into the
garden, Maude," requested the
professor, "and be taught the
secrets of the parsnip and the
hemlock." Maude came with a
brickbat of authorities and the
professor hastily retired.
The case is interesting. A
Lincoln county farmer sent 'to
he college, a bushel of bulbs
and asked their name, stating
that cattle
died.
feeding
on them
The botanical department con
cluded .that they were wild pars
nips. ' Some eight years ago, at
the college, wild parsnips were
fed to cattle, with no bad effect
The Lincoln county bulbs were
fed to two calves, which immedi
ately died. Ergo, wild parsnips
were poisonous.
Mr. Maude suggested that the
bulbs were not wild parsnips,
but wild hemlock. Prof. Hed
rich had in the meantime been
informed by practical botanists
.that the plant fed the calves was
wild hemlock, which contains a
deadly poison. He then .pro
ceeded to inform Mr. Maude
that wild parsnip and hemlock
were one and the same thing.
The latter asserted the contrary,
quoting Huxley and . Fanhi-
land.
Mr. Maude is evidently cor
rect. All the authorities recog
nize the existence of a plant
which they call wild parsnip,
The wild hemlock is another
plant altogether, and does not be
long to the parsnip family. It
more resembles parsley. Wild
parsnip, when eaten, sometimes
has malignant consequences
from the excess of acids, the
same effect that, in a lesser de
gree, green apples cause. Ma
tured, it is harmless. Wild pars
nip is not poisonous in the sense
that wild hemlock is poisonous.
It is plain that the two calves
were sacrificed because the bo
tanical department of the college
lacked botanical knowledge.
The Oregonian asks "What is
the matter with Oregon?' ' There
are several things the matter.
Too much Oregonian, too much
Corbett, too much Simon,
too much Kincaid, too
much populism, and not
enough manifested common
sense and common honesty..
As was the judgment of the
Independent last week, Hon. H.
W. Corbett, Gov. Lord's sena
torial appointee, will not be ad
mitted to a seat in the senate.
If the Oregonian had thrown its
voice and strength in favor of
allowing a majority of the re
publican legislators to organize
the legislature and elect a repub
lican to the United States senate,
we would have an additional
vote in the senate for protection
and sound money. We badly
need that vote. Hillsboro Inde
pendent. If the counties can, under the
law."apply the money raised for
state taxes to the reduction of
their debts, instead of sending it
to Salem for the state treasurer
to speculate with for two years,
they should certainly do so. If
the law forces this money into
the state treasury to lie idle, as
far as the state is concerned, for
two years, the people have but
to thank the Corbett-Simon-Scott-Lord-Kincaid
populist com
bination for it.
The state treasurer . deposits
most of the state money . in the
First National bank of Portland.
Corbett did not secure the sena
torship, but the money he ex
nenderl in holding ud the leisla-
O A A
ture will not be lost to him, if
the law compels the counties to
pay over the state taxes.
The Oregonian s says of Mr.
Hermann: "He is a good man.
He has no principles and no
opinions to maintain." The
latter sentence does not fit Bing
er Hermann, but it admirably
defines Harvey Scott's ideal good
man.
"The Oregon legislature did
meet last winter, it is true, but
it did not organize, and conse
quently could not elect anybody."
It could organize. There are
occasionally distinctions without
differences.
Cattle Poison.
The latest press bulletin issued
by the Oregoii Experiment Sta
tion contains an article by Prof.
French, giving the results of an
experiment in feeding poisonous
roots to cattle.
The detailed account of the
I experiment is-highly interesting
and it will doubtless be ol great
lvalue to the Oregon fanners to
j know that cattle will die with
j spasms alter eating there poison
ous herbs, the name ana nature 01
which is left in doubt by the sta
tkm botanist. The bulbs in ques
tion were sent to the station iron)
Lincoln county and it appears
that the sender was aware of the
fatal consequences resulting Iroin
feeding them to cattle, and was
anxious to know if there was an
anlidoie for the poison. From the
station information was given out
that the bulbs were wild parsnip
roots and that they were to be fed
to a couple of calves at the college
in order to determine their effect.
The experiment was tried, the
calves died and the public was in
formed that it was wild parsnips
that had killed them. In; his bul
letin, given below, Prof. French
admits that Prof. Iledrich, the
Station botani&t, was unable to
state whether or. not the roots
used in the experiment were from
the plant known as wild parsnip,
but that he has since learned from
other botanists that the '. bulbs are
not wild parsnip roots. It is most
likely that the bulbs are wild
hemlock roots, a large, poisonous
herb of the parsley family that is
sometimes mistaken for cow-parsley.
If this be the case, there
ought to have been no. trouble in
determining that the bulbs used
in the experiment were not wild
parsnip roots, for wild parsnip and
hemlock are not even of ihe same
family. Professor French's article
is given bely w in full:
"A communication was received
at the Station from Waldport, Lin
coln county, regarding cattle pois
oning. A sample of the .root
which caused the difficulty Was
sent to the botanist for examina
tion. On consultation 'with the
professor, we determined to test
the effect of the root on animals
at the Station. A bushel of f'ootv
were forwarded to us from the in
jury first occurred.
'We determined to feed an an
imal oil the material first' to de
termine whether the bulbs would
actually .; kill. . Experiments had
been carried 011 at the Station
some eight years ago, in the leed
ing of wild parsnip, without any
injurious effects, hence we wished
to determine whether this -material,
which was said to be wild pars
nip, would actually kill It may
be stated that we were in doubt
as to whether the roots were from
the plant known as wild parsnip. '
'A bulb was cut;- into small
pieces, mixed with a carrot cut
up in the same wayand fed to a
two year-old grade, .heifer. The
material was fed af "8 o'clock a.
m., and at 9:30 the animal was
dead. The poison performed its
work so quickly ,7 after : the first
symptoms, that e werjb unable
to be present jat ' tlitf moment
death occurred, , but reached the
place soon after, i The animal ev
idently died in a. spasm. It was
in a stall and,-falling on the reft
side, never regained its feet.
Froth and foam -escaped from the
mouth in considerable quantities.
"On post mortum examination,
pieces of the ro6t were found in
the rumen, and in - the reticulum,
or second stomach. "". None was
found beyond the second stomach.
It was somewhat surprising to find
not more than two drams of the
root in the stomach.' A very
small aniaunt might have passed
beyond recognition by mastication,
but a careful examination was
made, resulting in the above
amount. From the amount left in
the feed box, it was evident that
only a very small portion had been
eaten.
"The lungs were badly congest
ed, otherwise there were no ab
normal conditions noticed in the
abdominal or thoracic cavities.
"The following day we deter
mined to make another- trial of
the material, and if possible, coun
teract the effect of the poison with
an antidote.
"A calt one year old was select
ed for the experiment. The tem
perature of the animal was taken
in the evening and morning pre-.
ceding the experiment. The.n6r;
mal was found to be 102V de
grees. .
"Two bulbs the size of an egg
were cut and" mixed with carrots,
and a little grain sprinkled over
the roots to induce the l&himaj Jo.
eat them. The root is not'" espec
ially relished, but when : an ani
mal is hungry f r something green,
I imagine they would be quite
readily eaten. The animal men
tioned ate the mat' rial - under pro
test, in order to get the grain and
carrots. ' ' . v '
"The material was led at 9:15 a.
m.; at 9:40 the temperature was
103, and the muscles about the
nose began to twitch. At -10
o'clock the temperature had risen
to 103; no other changes, except
the animal was a little uneasy.
At 10-25, temperature 104, . and
the animal began to tremble
about the flanks. Eyes watered
very freely. At 10:35, somewhat
excited; temperature 1044,. At
this time the animal began to uri
inate very-freely and-this contin
ued until death ensued. ; At, 10:45
the animal fell over 011 its left
side with a spasm. Ihe eyes
were drawn and the muscles were
very rigid and contracted violent
ly. The animal fell backward
rather than sideways, and when
part way down, rolled on its side.
"As soon as possible, the animal
was given an ounce ofspirits of
turpentine in a quart of milk, and
and immediately the animal re
covered its feet and began to
walk. Its limbs were stiff and it
walked with a straddling gait. At
10:55 the temperature stood at
104i and the animal was perspir
ing very freely. The respiration
were very hurried, being almost
double the usual number per min
uted Symptoms seemed to im
prove for a time 4 but soon there
were indications lof severe spasms.
The dose of turpentine :and milk
was repeated and the animal
stood uphill 11:30, when it went
down as before. ? .A full do'sfe of
tincture of acconite with a quart
of v milk, but no results were no
ticed; immediately a hypodermic
injection of nitro glyerihe was
made, but with no results. The
spasms 'Were almost continuous
from the time the animal fell over
until death took place at 11:45,
just two and one-half hours from
the time the poison was adminis
tered. The highest temperature
reached was 106 degress
"Since the experimental feeding
of the root, Professor Hedrick has
received samples from several
botanists. to whom samples of the
roots were sent for identification,
and all have replied that the plant
is not wild parsnip or water pars
nip (Sium L.), but a plant closely
resembling the former, called wat
er hemlock (Cicuta L.) r As" to
the exact species, we are not cer
tain, but investigations' will be
made to settle this point." "

OUR OWN LANGUAGE. .
Instruction in English at the
Oregon Agricultural Col-
- .' lege.
English is the only language taught
in the regular courses at the Agricultural
College. This department of the col
lege work is well equipped and every
student is required to devte a regular
amount of study to this important sub
ject.
A thorough course in English includes
instruction of the understanding aBd in
struction in expression. At the college
as much time is given to the practice in
the art of expression and the study of
the use of words as to the study of the
philosophy of language and the laws to
which style must conform. Besides the
regular text-books, the best English au
thors are studied and the students are
made familiar with the cream of English
literature. The college literary societies,
six in number, admirably supplement the
work of this department.
The college library is well supplied
with representative works iu the English
literary field,' while Prof. Horner, who is
at the head of the department, has one
of the best private literary libraries in
the state, to which students are kiudly
given free access.
-Miss Helen V. Crawford has had
chr.rge of the freshmen class this School
year. The class is so large, about 150
students taking first year English, that
she could not give necessary time to the
students of elocution proper. . Mrs. Ida
B. Callahan will next term take charge
of the Freshman English studies. The
text books used in the first year work are
Liockwood's English and Cathcart's Lit
erature. The students are taught the
use of dictionaries .and encyclopedia.
They are give, general hints as to mar
gins, paragraphing, punctuation, capita li
zation" and preparation of manuscript.
They take up letterwriting, grammatical
and rhetorical and classification, history
of the English language and anlysis of
words.
Prof. Horner has direct charge of the
advanced classes. The professor does not
favor "smattering" education, but he has
established a systematic Course. He in
structs the student iu principles and de
tails and urges upon him to bra thorough
The student is taught to criticise intelli
gently and write creditably. Master
pieces of the English language are dis
cussed and a certain amount of original
composition is obligatory. Space does
not permit the extended account that
this department deserves.
CHAIR OF ELOCUTION.
At the beginning of the present school
year, the chair of elocution, with Miss
Helen Crawford, of Albany, as instruc
tor, was temporarily added, and the
splendid satisfaction she has given as
sures its permanancy. The Emerson
method of instruction is used by Miss
Crawford and is designed to
teach oratory as an art, the theory of in
struction being based upon the laws of
nature, and tend more than other meth
ods to develop the individuality of the
student. The pupil is taught to make
the will sovereign, leaving him free to
express his thoughts and emotions ac
cording to his own interpretation, by
cultivating the imagination, guiding the

feelings and disciplining all the agents
of expression, rather than fashioning
him after a certain- model and sacrificing
individuality to arbitrary laws. ' The
benefits ef this course are felt all along
the line of study. There are no set rules
to learn and the pupil, being compelled
to think and act on his own judgment,
is prevented from becoming mechanical.
He is taught to read intelligently and
understanding and this training proves
very helpful to him with his other stud
ies. In connection with this depart
ment, instructions are also given iu phys
ical and voice culture.
During commencement week, it is
Miss Crawford's intention to give two en
tertainments. One night will be devoted
to a literary contest, in which represent
atives from each of the half dozen liter
ary societies of the college will take
part. The other evening will be taken
up with a popular elocutionary -enter
tainment and will be participated in by
only the very best talent in the school.
THE PROFESSORS.
Prof. Horner has 'made English litera
ture a life study. He is a careful and
discriminate reader and an untiring stu
dent. He graduated from Philomath
ollege with the degree of Master of
Science and later received the degree of
Bachelor of Arts from Willamette Uni
versity. H taught his first school iu
Benton couuty in 1872. He has been
connected with educational work nearly
all his life and has been exceptionally
successful. He has had charge of the
department of English at the Agricultur
al College for several years and his work
has always given satisfaction. .
Miss Crawford is a graduite of Wil
lamette University, having been a pupil
of Miss Brown, who received her train
ing at the Emerson School of Oratory,
Boston. She is oue of the most popular
professors at the college and. the impor
tance of her work cau not be over esti
mated. The pupils geuerally evince a
deal of interest in this department and,
under Miss .Crawford's able .direction,
Jiave made wonderful improvement.
Mrs. Ida B. Callahan is a graduate of
the colllege. She' is an intelligent wo
man and a capable instructress and her
long connection with the college as
teacher has been uniformly successful.
Miss Callahan also teaches history and
grammar.
