1400 HEADJF CATTLE
Bowers and Buitlic Bring Big Bunch
of Cattle From Mexico for Feed
, and Sale Purposes.
Benton Bowers and R. L. 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

LAWRIE RETURNS HOME
Chairman Bureau of Mines and Ge
ology Tells of Trip to South
era Oregon.
Portland, Aug. 18. 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.

STRENGTH OF HUMAOONESV
More Powerful In Soma Ways Than
the Stancheet Oak.
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

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"

FRISKY SENATE PAGES.
They Are Great Mimic and Disc use
Burlesque Legislation.
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.
