HEALTH Todatf Talk 'By JLS.p-xhni;iUlL V 1 1 ft Power Comes to the Farms ANEW ruling of the state public service corrimission has just gone into effect which ought to speed up the ex tension of electric power lines into the country. The new reg ulations provide that the power company serving an area must, in extending its lines into the country, 'supply all the cash for the construction of the line. The customers to be served, will, if the total cost runs over a certain sum, have to " pay the exce&s; but their proportion is less than formerly, and they do not have to put up the money. The amount is charged to them and paid for in their monthly bills. In this way a farm does not have to dig up several hundred dollars csh money to get the lineput out to his place. There is a marvelous field for extension of electric ser vice through rural areas. Every farm is a small industrial plant. The possible usea of electrical energy there are Increas ing. "Juice" is now used to torn the cream separator and the churn, heat the incubator and the brooder, run the ensilage cutter and light the barn. It may be used for milking the cows and cooling the milk; and it can perform all the ser vices in the home for the country woman that it does for her city sister. The studies of light with respect to vegetation are re vealing new possibilities all the while. Electric lights might be used to force vegetation; or to illuminate fields for farm work, though this is customarily done now by powerful lamps attached to the tractor. They are used in henhouses to stim ulate egg production in winter months. Electric motors are the modern genii; elect .ical energy is the new Aladdin's lamp. Bringing of electric power to the farm will lift many burdens off the backs of men and women and children on the farms, should lower production and oper ating costs, and willgo far toward enabling the family-unit farm to continue as a profitable economic unit. The latter is very important. Because power can be delivered in small, easily controlled quantities over electric wires, the small farm with its numerous operations calling for power may be continued rather than be merged in big scale operations and chain farms. At least electric power on the farms will help to maintain the independence of the small farm. . This ruling of the public service commission will un doubtedly be helpful to the farmers now unserved, and should result in building up a big business for the utilities.

We should know their origin, as well as the signs of their freshness and fitneBs for consumption, The trouble is that ia some In stances there is nothing about the food we buy, either before or after it is cooked, to indicate that H ia unsafe to eat. Usually we know either by Its taste er smell whether the meat or other food is good to eat. Sometimes tn bucterlal poisons, ore so resistant to beat that neither refitting nor toiling earn destroy them. Ptomaine poisoning may tome from canned meats, or ether can ned goods. This rarely occurs sow, sinoe - government las section is rigidly enforced. There Is probably bo animal tissue that decomposes and forms ptomaines as quickly as fish. When taken from its natural ele ment, the water, fish die and de compose very rapidly. Bacteria of a deadly nature form very rapid-1 ly in the tissues. Such poison form much more quickly ta the heat than in the cold. Therefore, it is very necessary to keep all fish en lee in order to have them fresh and eafe for eating. Apart from the Influence of food, there are some poisons that develop ia the human body. This ia true in diseases like typhus fe ver. Asiatic cholera, or lockjaw. Ptomaine poisoning varies very much In its severity and charac ter. Its severity depends upon the virulence of the poison, and one's resistance to disease. The attack may appear imme diately after eating the food, r hours or even days may pass be fore tbe ill effects are felt. In the latter case the attack is usually most severe, for all the time pois-i ons are at work in the body. One of the first symptoms of feed poisoning ia intense itching or pricking of the skin. It is apt to grow In intensity until it ia al most unbearable. Soon' there are cramps in the Intestines, nausea, and vomiting. Fever, headache.

Joseph has thrown re- pnbtlean political leaders into turmoil. Deprived of a leader for the coming November elections the task of selecting a new can didate for the gubernatorial Chair now falls on the republi- e a n state central committee. Yamhill county will have its ; voice In the selection through: James Teegarden of Yamhill, who is the state committeeman from' this eounty. It Is a lamentable situation that the runnerup in the recent pri maries and at the present time governor of Oregon, has so con clusively proved since his defeat that he is not gubernatorial tim ber and has so conducted him self that he wqald not be accept able -to the voters or oregvn un der any circumstances. Ho has barred himself, from any hope ot consideration by the central committee. Unquestionably Tom B. Kay, state treasurer and a native son ot Yamhill county, will bo the first to receive conslderatron bf tho committee. Refusing to run as an Udepeadeat, Mr. Slay nay now see bis way clear to accept tho nomination at tho hands of tho committee.

We saw the llrst buffalo the day wo passed Grand Wand. They were on the north side ot the main Platte. Some of them were lying down, others were apparently feeding, and others traveling about. I was raised near the Darby Plains in Ohio, where they had immense herds of cattle, but I never saw so large a herd as that was; it ex tended for miles and covered sec tions, and when some of the hunt ers from a company just ahead of us rode wildly into the drove and fired a roUey at them, they fairly made the earth tremble in their endeavor to escape. (The tremble part I hare from the hudbers, as I was too tar away to feel it) Af ter we crossed the South Platte, we took a turn at buffak chasing and found It both agreeable and profitable. "At Ash Hollow, on the North Platte, we stopped a day for wash ing, there being plenty of wood and water. Our oxen and cows began to get footsore and we had to leare some of them en the way, which were generally killed and eaten by tho wolves. V with sev eral others, visited the grand tow ers, from tho tops of which we could see the emigrant rood from Ash Hollow to saatt's Bluffs, aad I think it was the finest sight I over saw. Tbo long train ot cover ed wagons one after another just as tar as the eye could 'see eaeh way, with their loads of brave pioneers silently wending their way towards the setting sun, made a never to be forgotten sight; it appeared to me that there were 1,900 wagons in sight. "We reached Fort Laramie Just as tho Inthsru bad returned from a Successful raid on tho Pawnees, and were encamped at the mouth of the Laramie river on both sides of both rivers. The officers at tho fort told me that this camp contained 1,800 lodges. We stop ped one day at Laramie to set wagon tires and trade our lame stock for sound ones, giving two and sometimes three for one. There our lumberman left his log wapon, which he was advised to leave at St. Joe. At Box Alder creek we saw the graves of sev eral of the Woodslde family, who, it was said, were poisoned by eat tag fruit that had been cooked and allowed to stand in brass kettles. ;"We crossed the Platte ou the last day of June on a raft, and Captain Palmer swam his horses hitched to hla hack across the river after sunset. "From the best data I can get. we were at this place about the; middle of the 1847 emigration. We passed Independence Bock, on tbe Sweetwater, .on tbe 4th day of July, and hoisted the stars and stripes and fired the cannon on top of said rock at 12 o'clock that day; met the first company re turning from Oregon that night; heard good news from Oregon, and also heard that the emigrants In front were getting along finely, I which cheered the despairing ones ii any, tn eur company. S "Our captaht told us we might expect sickness in our camp en the Sweetwater, and we did have it, but no one died, although many were sick and some nigh onto death.. At the snow bank we met O. Campbell, of Oregon City, and William and Samuel Camp bell, who were going baek east for tbelr father and family. At the last crossing ot the Sweetr water, we met a man by the name of Grant, with hla whole family on his way back to Missouri. When asked what his objections to Oregon were, he said: "In the first place they have no bees there; and In tbe Becond place, tbe can t raise corn, and whar they can't raise corn they can't raise hogs, and whar they can't raise hogs they can't have bacon.' and I am going bock to old Mis souri whar I con have corn bread, bacon and honey! in going from Pacifie Springs to Bear rhrer. half tho com ran v went "by Fort Bridger. and half by the desert, but the half that went by the cut oft had the worst or it.

The boys find ing it impossible to force then into the water ealled for help Judge Grim, J. Whitney and Wal lace Foster swam ever and helped them. John Whitney caught hold of an ox's tali and was ferried back, and the others swam back. The captain and SImpkins had been in the bet ssn under tbe bluff so long trying to make tha cattle take water, that they were perfectly sunburnt, and the next night they were two as sick men as I ever saw. They both shed their skins like snakes. S . "a "At Salmon Falls we laid in such a supply of salmon that we had to throw away two-thirds of it before we traveled very far. We crossed the Snake river at the Three Islands. We rested our teams one day before crossing, and on that day we lost a fine young man by the name of Elijah Weeks. He and others went into the river to bathe, and, although an excellent swimmer, was caueht in a whirlpool and drawn in and did not come out while we stay ed, but came out and was picked up by a company who knew him and was buried three days aiier we left. "After leaving the river ana traveling about six miles, w a struck a bee. line for the Hot Springs, and about half way be tween Where we left the road and the Springs, fo camped at iint we called Palmer's encampment, on Palmer's cutoff, at a fine spring and as fine grass and clov er as I over saw. Wo had three horses stolen at that camp, ami the boys said tt was because I did hot fire the canhan that night. " "We saw a notice on a tree one day's travel this side of Barrel creek, informing us that a man had been shot at that camp a day or two before, and for all em igrants to be on tbe lookout for the red devils. I Tired the 'Younn Democrat' twice that night, load ed to the muzzle. We saw no In dians that night. "We saw Hiram BuCfum's grave on Goose creek. He was a brother of William Buffum of Yamhill county. We left Snake river tbe first day of September. "OnAho Powder river, James Harpoie's wife died, and in dig ging her grave they found a great deal of mica, and lu 1811, after gold had been found in Califor nia and brought to Oregon, the boys who dug the grave said that they knew there were millions of ounces of Just exactly such stuff on the Powder river, where they buried Mrs. Harpole; and a com pany went from near Butteville In the winter of 1848-9 to make their fortunes; but they were bit terly disappointed when they found only worthless mica or is inglass. It turned very cold and one young man by the name ot Asa Martin, who drove a team across the plains for John W. Grim in 1847, was ao frozen that he died soon after returning or on his way home. I have forgotten which. "At Umatilla, some of tbe emi grants concluded to go to Dr. Whitman's on the Walla Walla river and stay all winter, and their sad history was written in blood, and is familiar as house hold words to all Oregon pio- neers.
