Burdic are in the midst of ua $18,000 cat tle deal. They are bringing into Southern Oregon about 1400 head of cattle from the state of Sonora, Mex ico. Cattle can be bought at a reas onable figure in Mexico now, owing to the military turmoil in that coun try, but it is diffucult to get them over the line as confiscation ia com mon and cattle rustling prevalent. Mr. Bowers has a brother at Mag dalena in Sonora who has lived there for many years and is well acquaint ed and on friendly terms with the Mexicans and with the governor of that state. It was due to this fact that Messrs. Bowers and Burdic were able to get the cattle and get them out of the country. Mr. Burdic went into Mexico some weeks ago and closed the deal. . They got as far as Los Angeles with part of the cattle without inci dent, but from there on had consider able trouble owing to poor shipping facilities and the almost total lack of watering facilities. The cattle were on the road eight days from Los Angeles to Montague and during that time the insufficiency of water caused great suffering. Some of the cattle went blind and mad and a number of them perished. The cattle were unloaded at Fres no and Red Bluff and Dunsmuir and at none of the places was it possible to water them satisfactorily. As a result, those surviving the ordeal lost greatly in weight. At Dunsmuir also the company's representative disput ed the freight bills and held the cat tle for a number of hours on bad feed while trying to collect about fifty dollars per car more than Messrs. Bowers and Burdic had con tracted for with the company. All the cattle were unloaded at Montague and were given adequate water and good pasture and 135 head were brought over the mountains by Mr. Burdic last Friday night and sold to local parties. The balance of the shipment remained on pasture at Montague several days and are being driven over the mountains into Ash land this week Mr. Bowers having eent a bunch of cowboys and a grub wagon over the mountains to take charge of the cattle as soon as they .were unloaded. The balance of the cattle are still to be shipped from Mexico and, after their experience, it is probable that Messrs. Bowers and Burdic will buy enough more to make a shipment of twenty-five cars in which case they will get a special train and ship through direct. They have also tak en up with the company the matter of providing adequate water facilities for the next shipment. Later: The cattle were driven into town Tuesday evening and taken over Bear Creek to the Waite tract. There were about 600 The herders who have handled thrf cattle since they left the cars at Montague are Ben and Jim Bowers, Herb Carlton, R. L. Burdic, Jr., Ray Murphy, Guy Boone with Benton Bowers as man ager. DAIRY COWS NEEDED. Belleview Growers' Association i Finds Sixty Needed. 3. R. Pittinger, who was selected Ivr the Belleview Growers' Associa tion at their meeting in conjunction with the Commercial Club some weeks ago to canvass the Upper val ley for the purpose of discovering how many dairy cows might be sold, has completed his canvass and reports that he finds market for sixty good cows among the various small ranch ers between Talent r.nd Neil Creek. It ia probable that ttie matter of im porting enough firsr-clasa cows to supply the demand will now be taken up. This has been done in many lo calities of Eastern Oregon where the scheme is backed by individuals of means or by banks It being a well known fact that a ood dairy row is an Investment which toon pays SUNSET MAGAZINE and Ashland Tidings one year $2.75 to old or new subscribers.

H. N. Lawrie chairman of the Oregon Bureau of Mines and Geology, created by the last legislature to gather informa tion pertaining to the mineral re sources of Oregon and their develop ment, has just returned from a trip through southern Oregon, on which he consulted with the mining com mittees of the commercial clubs of Ashland, Medford, Grants Pass, Rose' burg and Albany. He discussed with these committees the status of min ing development in their respective communities. One result of the trip, Mr. Lawrie said, will be to increase greatly the efficiency of the field work directed by the bureau and to make it easier to adapt it to the especial economic needs of the different communities Mr. Lawrie said that a party led by Dr. Alexander Winchell has fin ished a preliminary geological recon naisance for the bureau from the California line to the Grants Pass section. It is now operating from the latter point as a center. Some interesting data have been collected by this party, particularly in exami nations of limestone and shale. "The deposit on Cheney creek, 12 miles from Grants Pass, on the sur vey of the proposed railway from there to Crescent City, has unlimited volume for the production of ce ment," declared Mr. Lawrie. "The surface outcrop shows it to be of high grade lime content. Farmers and orchard ists nearby are appeal ing to the owners of this property to supply them with' pulverized lime from it. At present the property is idle. "On Williams creek there is an other quarry of lime rock awaiting development. When it is worked it should produce some of the most beautiful of decorative marble. "The Sterling placer mine out from Medford, which 'has been worked out under the old ditch line, is now in the hands of heavy capital. It is being equipped with centrifugal pumps to increase the hydraulic head. A large yardage will be worked under this system. "The Oriole gold mine, in which there is more than a mile of under ground workings, is now installing a mill. This is near Grants Pass. It is expected to be a heavy producer. "The Penniston granite near Ash land is an excellent stone. It was pleasing to note that it has been used in many of the Ashland build ings. Civic pride and public con tracts will stista'n a quarry, but where these are lacking it is not eco nomical enough in production. There is not enough business to reduce the overhead charges. "At Gold Ray, near Medford; there is also an excellent granite." The commission now is at work on a relief map of Oregon which is in tended to show the mineral develop ment in every locality. Professor Shedd is compiling the data required in making this map. Mr. Lawrie said that the projected railway from Grants Pass to Ci City will open up a vast metal ore production and that a smelter un doubtedly will be located near Cres cent City. Piano Tuning. C.

Human bones are really tremen dously strong and possessed of mar velous resisting power. Indeed, the bones of the fairest, most delicate looking woman are stronger than the strongest oak. Of course a bone is hollow, and that is one oi the chief reasons it resists such extreme weights. For Instance, a small bone which is no more than a square millimeter in diameter will hold in suspension without breaking some thirty-five pounds, while a stick of best oak of similar width will not hold more than twenty pounds. Indeed, the average bone of the average man is stronger by one half than that of solid oak. The principle on which our bones are constructed, being made hollow and consequently stronger than if they were solid and heavier, Is the same mechanics have followed the world over. Constructive engineers employ tubes instead of solid cylinders. In the case of animals thousands of years ago one reason of their bulky frame is attributed by scientists as due to the fact their bones were solid and added to their weight Chicago Tribune.

Claude Grahame White in National Review. For the Earache. "I am afraid 1 have greatly Inter fered with my own practice," said a celebrated aurist "by giving the fol lowing advice to many of my friends: At the first symptoms of earache let the patient lie on the bed with the painful ear uppermost Fold a thick towel and tuck it around the neck: then with a teaspoon fill the ear with warm water. Continue doing this for fifteen or twenty minutes. The water will fill the ear orifice and flow over on the towel. Afterward turn over the head, let the water run out and plug the ear with warm glycerin and cotton. This may be done every hour until re lief is obtained. It is an almost inva riable cure and has saved many cases of acute inflammation. The water should be quite warm, but not too hot" Family Doctor. She Wetn't Affected.

They are the greatest mimics In the world. They can take off the idiosyn crasies and humorous peculiarities of the senators to a T." ' Sometimes when the senate Is not sitting and too many visitors and page bosses are not around to observe the proceedings' the pages themselves' go into a solemn senatorial session. One will impersonate the vice president another the chief clerk, and so on. Various other boys ,will pretend to be either their favorite senators or the senators of home states. Each boy oc cupies the seat to which the real sen ator is entitled. Bang: goes the vice president's gavel, and the extraordinary session of pages has convened. There is always an argument as to which senator shall be recognized when the reirulnr nrw of business Is reached. Every conceiv- ame current subject is discussed, with a goodly sprinkling of "baseball legis lation." which always carries with it a rider by which each page senator shall be entitled to an annual self renewing pass for all the season's games. A bill which Is almost sum tn ho introduced is one which proposes to increase the salaries of the pages and shorten their hours of dutv. Rnhert n. Heine in Leslie's Weekly. Hit Them Both. "You remember old Si Collins, what used to be around here last season. don't you?" remarked the station mas ter at Seekonk. "You mean the chan that rIwhvr had a way of doing things differently from any one else?" "That's the feller." replied the sta- tion master. "Well, be committed suicide 'bout a month aeo." "Why. that's terrible! But did he do that differently too?" Differently r ejaculated the' station master. "Why, 1 should say he did. Say. that feller went out and boncht a couple of quarts of gasoline, drank her down, then lighted ud his old clay pipe and started a-emoklng.
