Dr W Kuykendall has used tho new
diphtheria treatment, known as aiitl-
loxinu, ou a couple or ms pansuis re-
c
results obtulned
to secure a quantity of anti-toxine
when Mrs Wiudeii was takeu with
diphtheria, but as it has been used
bill very little In this couutry none
could be obtained. However, a tresli
supply was received lu Portland re
cently, and Dr Kuykendall secured
small quantity.
A few words concerning this anti
toxine will briiiitcrcsilng. In securing
it a healthy young horse Is taken, and
subjected to injections of diptheria
virus, in very small quantities at first,
which Is increased until no amount of
virus injected w 111 produce auy ell'ect
upon the horse. The virus is injected
into his system until lie possesses im
mtiiiity to it. His blood is theu drawu
and undergoes a process of preparation
into the anti-toxine. Then this prep
aration is injected Into tho system of
diphtheria patients.
i)r Kuvkeiidall patient was me
daughter of J G Stevenson, tho county
school superintendent. The nit in-
liratie which forms in diphtheria had
formed about the tonsils of the patient
aud was rapidly spreading and threat
encd to form in the larynx, when the
disease assumes a serious form. The
anti-toxine was injected into the sys
tem of the patient about 3 o'clock one
afternoon and the next moriiingthu
spreading of the membiaue was not
only interrupted, but was rapidly dis
appearing trom tho tonsils anil oilier
places wheie it had formed. The
patient is now recovering nicely, and
Dr Kuykendall thinks this treatment
is far ahead of unything ever liefore
introduced lor tho treatment of diph
theria. An'l-toxiue has been known lo the
medical fraternity but a short time.
At first it was produced only in Ger
many tint now a fairly good urticle is
produced in this country, and will
doubtless be In general u;-o by the
im diciil fraternity.

The annual remrt of Captain Thorn
as W Symous, of the Luitud State
engineers, upon the Improvement of
certain rivers and harbors iu Oregon
has been received, and, among other
things, lias the following about the
Improvements of the Siuslaw harbor
in this county:
Moutliof Siuslaw river, Oregon
The Siuslaw river enters the ocean lu
the midst of a vast, shifting, sandy
beach, without any lieadlaudor fixed
point to determine the location of the
etilrauco channel. Tho iliiconllned
channel has a range of about one
mile, over which It wanders. 1 ho
depth of the bur varUs from Mo 12
feet at low water, and the bar channel
s very variable in position and cireu-
tlo i. At times a channel running
nearly parallel with tin" coast Is de-
eloied inside the bar. nils channel
is nanow. tll-di-lliied and dangerous,
us boats have to pass through It in the
trough or the sea. At other times
there are two channels.
The plan of Improvement is to con.
flue the waters butweon high-tide
brush and stone jetties, so located as
to direct tho currents upon the bar lu
direction practically perpendicular
with the coast. The north letty will
be 40UO feet long, tlie south jetty 8L'(
feet long, aud they are to converge to
an entrance or 000 feet wide at tho
crest of the bar. The estimated cot Is
700.000.
"The amount extended prior to
June 30. 1K!)4. was ttiS.ua.OH. The
tramway was built to a length or 300
feet, aud paitlally enrocked, but the
work lias not progressed suiiicieiiuy to

"At me ciixo oi mis iwriixi me

"A contract was made for the re

wav. tlie placing irus;i inuurusses,
