STUDIES ON THE EYE
BY DR. CHAMBERS
(Ooatlnoed)
CATARACT
r howta Oataraet (mute mpU)
In my aerie of short articles on th
. - r
--
., . i i i Hani g
I
ey x nave taken up the various trou
ble caused from errors of refraction,
which can be remedied with properly
fitted lenses. Th subject of this chap
ter 1 Cataract, and Is really not In the
domain of th refractionlst, and should
b referred to the eye surgeon.' How
ever, all. well-posted refractionlats
should, b thoroughly acquainted with
the anatomy of the eye, and competent
to diagnose structural changes and dis
eased - conditions. ' Cataract means
opacity of th crystalline lens, th
causa- of which Is more or less Obscure,
and while there are numerous cases of
congenital cataract and cataract cauaed
;from Injury, the larger percentage of
cases are senile, or cataract coming to
aged persona who have poor circulation.
: In .our previous chapters devoted to
th varlou refractive media of the eye
we compared th construction - of th
crystalline len to sn onion; that la. It
1 formed of thin layer of transparent
tissue. All this membrane, or tissue,
no matter how minute, la provided with
circulation, and whenever th circula
tion I retarded there 1 illness, and
whenever It I wholly stopped, no mati
ter In what organ or In what part of th
body, there la death 'of that part. .Our
.opinion, therefore. Is that on account of
poor circulation and the consequent lack
of nourishment, the crystalline lens dlea
and becomes a foreign body In th eye.
In the process of deterioration the lens
loses Its transparency, no longer being
efficient as a refracting medium. Th
peraon afflicted ilrat begins to notice
a cloudiness f vision, and after a time
it .can be noticed when light I thrown
on th eye at the proper angle that the
pupil haa milky appearance, usually
beginning at the oenter, and as the dls-
v ease progressed the entire pupil be
come a grayish whit and th eye Is
" blind so far as distinguishing objects
Is concerned. IA the removal of th
len lie th only hop of again obtain
ing vision. When th dead cryatallln
len has been; removed by a surgical
operation the I. freetlonlst then fur
nishes a len of sufficient strength to
take Its place. In th hand of a sklll-
-ut surgeon - the-nperetton- is attended
with but slight danger and very little
"dufforlng. and In many caae. If th
proper len I prescrt'-ed. the person will
again obtain normal vision. '

At a special meeting of the city ex
ecutive board yesterday, afternoon, th
report of the special committee ap
pointed to fix a valuation, on the fran
chises ' of th United Railway com
pany and th Willamette Valley Trao
tlon company for an .electric railway
line on Front atieet waa adopted in
full. - -.......:... . ...... . .
Th city council tonight will wholly
ignore th valuation fixed .by tb exec
utive board and fix 'a price to be paid
by the railway companies as It sees fit.
At a. caucus held in Councilman. Shep

laat night, at which Councilman Annand,
Baiu.ng, Bennett, Gray, Kellaher,1 Mas
ters. Menefee, Shepherd, Vaughn, .Wal

unanimously agreed that the valuation
of 21(2,600 should be placed on the
franchise of the United Railway com
pany and 188.000 on that of th -Willamette
Valley Traction -Company.
Member ef the executive board com
plained that the ordinance were - too
loosely drawn; that the ; corporation
aeeklng franchises were not surrounded
by enough restrictions..
"If these franchises were so framed
that the city council could at any fu
ture tlma lower the freight and passen
ger rates I would be in favor of re
ducing th valuation to on half of
what w hav named them," aald C. A.
Cogawell, a member of th commute
which fixed the valuation.
"I would Ilk to th city- council
giv all the railway the opportunity to.
com In over thi lln freelyand openly,"-
aald Mayor Lane, "providing the
proper sort of franchise were granted
them. I think a revocable clause should
be Inserted in the franchises. These
estimates of the icommlttee are just. In
my estimation, for tb franchises as
they are framed.? .
L. T. Peery was the only member who
thought the valuations too high. .
It Is conceded that the mayor will

I Another Reason Why I Am Oppoccil to J. FLlv
Being Elected Coroner.
A number of yean ago 'myself and partner occupied two atorea on Second etreet. We had a teaae t i
'the stores for five vearj. I sold out to my partner; Mr. Finley bought in, After a while Mr. Finley buye
' my partner out and takes in' a man by the name of Reiger. Business was dull and at the expiration of
- about two and a half years they owed $1,80(1 rent. They remained in the atorea nntil they owed 12.CC0.
Rent for the time they occupied the building, with one nfonth to ran before the expiration of lease. When
they owed $1,800 the agent for the building went to his attorney to sue them for the rent., la reading over
. the lease the lawyer found a clause where it read, "This lease is not transferable without consent of land
lord," saying if you did not give Mr. Holman your consent to transfer thia lease we can make him pay,.
; He started suit, but it never came to trial, as I paid the total rent, $2,200, and I sued Finley & Reiger for
. -the amount of rent that they actually occupied the building. I won the case in Judge Shattuck'a court.
: The judge, addressing Finley's attorney, saying: "You do not mean to say that a man can occupy s build
ing and does not need to pay any rent for it." Mr. Finley appealed the case to the supreme court, and won
the case, as I understand that when I paid the rent that I assumed the debt and could not recover from
Finley. At that time I was very hard up and the German' Savings & Loan society of San Francisco had
a mortgage on everything I had. I could not meet my interest as it came due. The late Henry Failing;
alwaya came t6 my rescue and helped me out, otherwise I would have lost everything. - Not having cash, I
' did the next best thing, gave my note to the landlord, signed by myself and wife. It was cashed at ths
bank- and I paid it later. , i . - .
' I claim that Mr. Finley owes me $2,000 for the time he actually occupied the building. I refer to W.
