THE OREGON? DAILY JOURNAL', PORTLAND;- WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1911. i -- i: I; -- SHOWN 10 M. IB Dr. Ravenel Says Education and Quarantine Necessary to Protect Humans From Germ Ridden Cows. Education, quarantine and early diag nosis are the only ways of controlling bovine tuberculosis, according to the conclusions of Dr., Maxycir Ravenel of the University of Wisconsin and the acknowledged authority in the United States on this subject Dr. Kavenei save a second talk to the State Medical society this morning on the subject of bovine tuberculosis and In It outlined .the most approved ways for controlling and eradicating- the disease among cat tle and thus protecting human Ufa. r The sessions of the convention closed this afternoon, following a business kneetlng in which officers for the com tog year were elected and addresses were made by Dr. Ravenel and Dr. c. F. Hoover of Western Reserve univer sity, Cleveland. Xr. Bo mart st, President. - Dr. E. A. Sommer of Portland was elected president of the society for the eomlng year; Dr. A. C Beely, Roseburg, first vlca president; Dr. N. E. Wlnnard, Beppner, . second vice president; Dr. Clarence Keene, 6 liver ton, third vice president; Dr. AI. B. Marcellus, Port land, secretary; Dr. Katherlne Man Ion, Portland, treasurer. Dr. Andrew C Smith and Dr. A. W. Balrd, both of Port land, were elected councillors. Dr. K. A. J, ileckenile, delegate to the American Medical association meeting;, with Dr. : W. T. Williamson as alternate, while Dr. Mackentle and Williamson were elected trustees of Northwest Medicine, S magazine In which the society Is In terested. With Cost of Uving Traced. The high cost of living, according to Dr. Ravenel, Is primarily traceable, so far as the cost of meat la concerned. to bovine tuberculosis. Out of 35,000, 00 hogs examined by the government experts last year 7000,000 were found to have tuberculosis and were rejected by the government. Annually between 11,(00,000 and 14.000,000 is lost through the rejection of tuberculous cattle. ' "The packers don't stand' this loss, you understand," said Dr. Ravenel. "It Is borne by the consumer and by the farmer, who raises the stock. The packer Isn't going to run the risk of losing several million dollars worth of neat annually through rejection with out seeing where 'he can be reimbursed. Undoubtedly the severe testing of tu berculous animals before slaughter has bad a great deal to do with the In creased cost of. meats of all kinds. -.'I presume Wlsoonsln ships more high class csttle than any other state. Buy ers from all over. the world come there and pay on the average HO a head more than the market price elsewhere so as to obtain cattle free from tuberculosis. Those stock growers and dairymen who tight the laws declaring that cattle and dairies must be kept olean and that milk must be purs are In the same posi tion as the antl-vaccinatlonlsta. v People JCnst Organise. - "We must organise to stamp out tu berculosis among cattle and other ani mals, as we are organised to control human tuberculosis. Education must be used to show the great need for con trolling bovine tuberculosis. . The time Is coming when we will demand of our national and state governments the as surance that we are not In danger of in fection from beef and milk. The oppo nents of this are fighting hard and working-cleverly to bring about a re turn to old conditions. Illinois' present lgws are a fitting example of clever manipulating for the benefit of unclean dairymen. The commission reporting on the needs for dairy laws in that state went so far as to quote me In saying a clean dairy and tests of milk are unnecessary. On such testimony as that Jesus Christ could have been con victed and Judas Iscarlot freed of blame." g Stricter X,aw Weeded. Referring to problems that confront those who are fighting bovine tubercu losis, Dr. Ravenel said the problem of locating tuberculous cattle need not be considered, because of the enormous number of diseased cattle that are to be found anywhere. He said he be lieved there should be a system of compulsory notification whenever a tuberculous animal Is found. Such ani mals as are suffering from open tuber culosis should be slaughtered at once. A strict quarantine should be enforced, though he admitted this will be diffi cult without the formation of a strong national bureau of health with full control of such matters. He said no animal should be added to a herd without first being subjected to the tuberculin test and then kept In quarantine, away from healthy animals, for at least three months and subjected to a second test to detect fake "doc toring" for the first test. State Should Bear Share. In disposing of tuberculous cattle be said he believed the state should pay the owner two thirds or three fourths of the assessed value of the animal to be confiscated. The state could then dis pose of the hide, the horns and carcass and secure what It could for It, or. If the meat passed the government Inspec tors, the state would receive the money from the sale of' the meat. He said the Bangs system had proved beyond doubt that tuberculosis is not hereditary and that calves, taken from tuberculous mothers within 24 hours after birth grow up Into healthy ani mals. Thus It is possible to- raise a healthy herd from a diseased herd. "Buy only on the tuberculin tost," said Dr. Ravenel. "Don't buy any cat tle from a herd containing 'reactors' from the test. We do not know how long the period of Infection in tuber culosis Is, and In a herd where some re InfejBted. others may develop the disease following the tuberculin test "We should pay the famer an Indem nity for his cattle we are always too willing to pay money for the protection of property, and too unwilling to pay It for the protection of life. We gave San Francisco ll,()00,000 following the earthquake, and yet less people were killed In It than die every year there from tuberculosis. Spread la Two Ways. "Bovine tuberculosis is spread in two ways by the purchase of Infected cat tle, which must be guarded against by quarantine, and by creameries. Smith CASTOR I A 1 , ; k Tor Infants and Children, I . The Kind Yea Hare Always Bought Bears the v - : fUjpiature of STATE LAND BOARD V I S i ! LAKE COUNTY Govenror West Accompanies Official Party on Tour of Irrigation Schemes. (Special ta Tha Journal.) Lakevlew, Or., July 12. The visit of Governor, West, Secretary of State Ol cutt. Treasurer Kay, Atorney General Crawford and Stato Engineer Lewis. members of the state land board and desert land boards, wss one of the pleas ant occasions that the people of the interior country enjoy, as they were enabled to show their hospitality and appreciation of the work that Oregon's governor is doing. This being the first opportunity the state land board has had to look over the lands in the county that are under state control, the members were sur prised at the evidences of prosperity on every hand. The beautiful valleys, fertile soils, fine grazing lands, plcture- esque forests, running streams and the hilly slopes or higher plateaus, all com bined to make the trip attractive. The first day after the arrival of the party was spent In going over the Warner Valley Irrigation project segre gation of 150,000 acres an,d the looking over of some of the lands that had been in litigation for many years between the Warner Land and Livestock com pany and the settlers. The Chewaucan project. In which lies the Portland Irri gation company's segregation of 12,000 acres of valuable lands in the Chewau can valley at Paisley was Inspected and the people of that section of the county listened to attentively in their plea that the land be restored to entry and the project eliminated, as the holdings are in an artesian well district and if the lands need irrigation this can be done very cheaply with the drilling of a few wells. Quests at Banquet. At the banquet given the guests by the people of Lakevlew, the governor and the members of the state board expressed themselves in line with the spirit of the "greatest good to the great est number" and that the board would bear In mind the feeling of the people familiar with the project. When told that the per capita wealth of the people here was over 12450 .for every man, woman and child in the county and that the little town and county seat of Lakevlew Is given credit with having more automobiles per capi ta than any other section of the United States the visitors were evidently Im pressed. The coming of the Nevada- California-Oregon railway which is ex pected to reach Lakevlew this fall, was also appreciated as being a factor In the development of a county that has so much to offer to Intending settlers. The state officials were also enter tained royally by the people of Paisley. After a trip through the beautiful Sum mer Lake valley, the party went to Sil ver lake and over the Fort Rock and Christmas lake sections of the county wnere uiey were gladly received by the people who are hoping for the com pletion of the Oregon Eastern railway across these valeys the coming sum mer, which will be but a short dis tance across country from these fertile valleys and open to the outside world a market for millions of bushels of grain and other products that are now fed to stock or allowed to be used as gracing lands Instead of grain , fields. ine .state land board when shown the vast areas of productive lands that are ready for the homeseeker, marveled that every acre Is not taken bv the neo- ple. will raise healthy cattle, free from tu- oercuiosis, ana Jones herd will be tu berculous. -Both send their cream to the creameries.

Dr. Hoover spoke on, "Lumbar Punc tures in the Diagnosis of Crhmi Spinal Diseases." Dr. Hoover's most startling statement from point of view of the layman is that "60S," the much discussed andadvertlsed cure for blood diseases. Is In most cases a failure and Is not to be considered as so perma nent or reliable a cure as mercury, which has been nsed bv th. mi.i nm. fesslon for 200 years. Dr. Hoover is one of the leading specialists of the country and has made a vrv xprafni study of the effects of the new drug. inis ariernoon trie delegates and their wives are belna- entertained at tha hn game and on a river trip to the Oaks. AFTERNOON SESSION DEVOTED TO TALKS ON TUBERCULOSIS The session of the convention yes terday afternoon, like that of the morn- ng, was devoted to tuberculosis. Dr. W. J. Butler of Chicago, professor of medicine In the Chicago Collpg of'Med lclne and Surgery, spoke on "The Diag nosis of Tuberculosis, Syphilis and Cancer from Examinations of the Blood." Dr. Butler said that the great work in the anti-tuberculosis fight Is to cure the disease before It manifests Itself In other words to prevent It. Publlo opinion and public aid, said Dr. Butler, are the greatest powers that can be brought Into the fight against the spread of tuberculosis. As soon as the public Is educated to see that contact with the tubercular and the use of tu bercular milk are great causes of con sumption, the battle will be nearly won. ut. J. N. Hurty. state health officer for Indiana, said that in his state there are three times as many deaths from tuberculosis as from all other causes. The annual number of deaths from con sumption in that state average 4479. The house of delegates met fo Do wins the publlo meeting yesterday afternoon, and voted to recommend the appoint ment of a health commute to cooperate with women s and mothers' clubs on hygiene and protection of public health. Last evening the annual banquet was held at the Commercial club and was very largely attended both by Portland and out-of-town doctors. ADMISSION MEASURE REPORTED FOR PASSAGE .

Eugene and Roseburg Men Be lieve They Have 1 of 2 -Deposits in U. S. (Special to The Joarsml.) Roseburg, Or., July 12. A deposit of kaolin has been discovered in the mountains about 25 miles east of Rose burg. Kaolin Is a high grade of clay. It Is the chief material used In the manufacture of the finest quality" of Chlnaware and general porcelain goods and an Industry of Immense propor tions may result from the discovery. It Is said there is only one other known deposit of kaolin In the United States, In Colorado. This has not proved productive enough to supply the dom estic demand and in coneequeBoe large quantities of the soil have been Im ported from China. With the home de mand greatly exceeding the available supply, the possibilities for the opera tion of the kaolin industry In this coun ty on a big scale will readily be seen. The discovery was made - by Dr. w. E. Gillespie of Eugene. A sample of the soil sent to the Oregon Agricultural college for analysis brought the In formation that It was kaolin of the highest quality. Dr. Gillespie Interested a number of Eugene and Roseburg; friends and claims were surveyed and staked and location filings tendered to the county clerk's office. Money Raised for Bohemia Mines. (Special to The Journal.) Eugene, Or., July 12. Herbert Leigh, a local mining man Interested in prop erties In the Bohemia district, has Just returned from the east, where he says he succeeded In arranging for several properties in the district In which he and his associates are interested to be placed In operation. The principal prop erties affected are the North Falrview, owned mainly by Eugene men, and the Oregon Mines company's claims, both of which have machinery necessary for' the reduction of the ore. Some ex cellent gold ore bodies have been un covered In these properties during the past year and the owners hope with the Introduction of new capital they will be placed upon a permanent pay ing basis. WOMAN'S LEAGUE Lewis Is Held by Federal Grand Jury for Violation of Postal Laws. St Louis, Mo., July It. E. O. Lewis, head of the American Woman's league and the Lewis Publishing company, whose concerns in University City, a Buburb of St. Louis, were recently In volved, was Indicted today for violation of the postal laws by a federal grand Jury here. After the finding was sub mitted to the court one Juror Informed the court that United States District Attorney Houts displayed prejudice against Lewis In taking individual Jur ors out and conferring with them singly. Lewis' case Is being investigated by a congressional committee. He was for merly indicted in connection with a mall banking scheme but he was finally exonerated by the courts. The indictment against Lewis con tains 12 counts. Eugene Stlnsf one of the grand Jurors, told the court today that Prosecutor Houts spoke to every member of the grand jury personally In Lewis case and plainly manifested prejudice. Stlne asked the court If he had the right to address the Jury. The court said: "No. If you did not like the actions of tha district attorney you should have asked for further Instruc tions." The Indictments against Lewis cover four general charges that he had circu lated through the mails misleading statements aiding in the sale of stock in his concerns. It Is alleged the viola tions of the law occurred In 1908, 1909 and 1910, when Lewis advertised to' sell blocks of stock and mortgage notes se cured by buildings he held In Univer sity City. A special committee of the house of representatives at Washington this weak will hear Lewis' complaint against the ' postof f ice department.

Roads Excursionists Find Publicity Need of Counties Visited. By Marshall N. Dana. La Grande, Or., July 12. The first "personally conducted" good roads ex cursion Into Union and Wallowa coun ties wllletart from here tomorrow over the Wallowa branch or tne u.-w. ii. ec N. Just a day later than first planned. Down near The Dalles last night sand Inconsiderately crowded one of the cars from the track and we slept five hours in one place peacefully while a new beginning was made. Tonight we rest in handsome La Grande where all day the sun has been shining on green Grand Ronde valley like clear gold. This evening as guests of Secretary A. V. Andrews of the Union County Automobile association, Philip S. Bates, A. H. Averlll. and The -Journal repre sentative drove 25 miles through fields of BO bushel wheat; through fields of rye and oats and potatoes and iruit and all we saw at that was but a cor ner of the valley. The grain Is almotft ready for the reaper. The flood tide of the soil's wealth is at hand ana tne valley smiles in fairness past, the power of words to tell. Orand Bonds Weeds Hothlnr. With an earth store of riches, a div ersity of production that bespeaks cer tain Independence and a climate unsur passed, Orand Ronde seems to need nothing save a press agent In other words systematized publicity presented before Investors. The valley is 28 miles long and IT miles wide. There is not a rock In It and there is a very good dirt road around nearly every section. Diversified farming is possible, snd to an extent practiced, without irrigation throughout the valley in which the river like an ellpse bounds all but one side. Irriga tion adds tremendously to production and about 10 per cent of the area Is Irrigated. No valley in the state, not excepting the Willamette, Is more adaptable to diversified and intensive farming. Dairying and stock grazing Is already extensively practiced in the hilly coun try, yet the valley with all Its fertility is only supporting about 6 per cent of tha nnniilntlnn It Rhoilld Hunnort in comfort, even to th extent of all own ing autoa. Homeseekers' Chance. The same is true of Union county and of Wallowa county to the northeast. It Is hard to understand how homeseekers are losing the home making opportunity found here, unless It is because of the lack of andied publicity. The land is reasonably priced at from $100 to 1150 an acre, improved. Before me as I write is one oooaiei telling of Union county's timber. It is the sole find of an all day search. It Is attractive with illustrations and facts descriptive of the county's SO saw mills the output of 70.000.000 feet last year,' the $2.75 per day wages paid, and the millions, yes billions, of feet of timber still standing, but Union county deserves more and so does Wallowa, for the Interests of the two counties are Inseparable. - . No one seems to know how great are the shipments of hogs and cattle and grain and potatoes and fruit and yet the passing of the timber will make these all important. The city Itself deserves great consideration. The stores are modern and large: the hotels and the food they serve good; the homes comfortable and well cared for. The streets are wide and well paved. The business men are real busi ness save for the one apparent lack commercial club publicity. There are several churches and the handsomest high school In eastern Oregon. La Grande is the trade center not only of the Grand Ronde valley but of half a dosen smaller towns Cove, Elgin, Union, Hot Lake, Allcel, Imbler, Sum mervllle and the combined population. Including La Grande Is about 10,000. The proximity" of these towns the ease of possible railroad construction and the fertility of the valley points a mag nificent lnterurban electric line oppor tunity which, surprising to say, has not been taken advantage of. The Grand Ronde would furnish abundance of power. Irrigation Possibilities. Another thing the Grand Ronde is amply able to do is to irrigate the en tire valley. The electric line and ir rigation await someone with money and the instinct for development as well as returns. County Judge J. C. Henry said that in Union county's 6000 or so square miles there are four miles of macadam road and 16 steel bridges. The road fund this year was $35,000 and much more was needed. Interest In better highways Is Increasing and when the lnterurban line and Irrigation have brought the people In for Intensive farming the demand for good roads for their automobiles will fee greater still. A final word to Portland business men There are too many articles and machines of common use here bearing the stamps of Spokane, Salt Lake and Seattle. This Is properly Portland's trade territory, and the business should not be allowed to escape to other cities. (Special to The Journal.) Spokane, Wash., July 12. Awakened by a commotion among the sheep In a camp near Lardo. Idaho, Joe Lucas, sheepherder, rushed Into the darkness, encountering a she bear and two cubs. Lucas was thrown to the ground, disem boweled ahd the flesh torn from the knees to the hips. Lucas lay all Mon day night unconscious, and was rescued the next morning by a pusserby attract ed by the barking of his shepherd dog, which evidently had kept watch over htm for hours. Lucas will probably die. SPIRITUALISTS GATHER IN ANNUAL REUNION (SpenUl to The Journal.) New Era, Or., July 12. The Thirty ninth encampment of the New Era camp meeting opened to the general public last Saturday. The camp will continue until August 8. Last Sunday there was an audience of 200 or more people who listened with enrapt attention to the morning and afternoon lectures and messages. Lectures, conferences and messages will- be given every -day throughout the sessions. . Among the lecturers and psychics are: A. Scott Bledsoe and Etta S. Bledsoe, of Kansas City, Mo. ; Colonel J. L.

Governor West snd other members of t,he desert land board attended a monster meeting here last night of the Central Oregon Irrigation .Company Water Users' as sociation and heard the grievances of the waters users again the Irrigation company. The governor promised the settlers the aid of .the land board in remedying their grievances and said the board would station a man In this sec tion permanently to aid the water users getting their rights. The governor said he thought the early contracts made by the original irrigation company were fraudulent. He said the land board would go as far as it possibly could to help the settlers get their rights and that the board was going to help the settlers "play the game square" all down the line. Attorney General Craw ford agreed to bring; a suit In the name of the state against the Central Oregon Irrigation company In, order to settle the claim of the settlers for water for excess acreage, which the settlers claim Is due them. The result of the meeting has been to bring the settlers and board into closer touch and foster better feeling. Girl Is Cremated. i N ItJnited Pnss Leased fire.1 ' ' Santa Barbara, Cat, July 12.
