WHIT PEOPLE SAY HT PROHIBITION
The following excellent communi
cation In the Spokesman-Review
gives an Insight Into the prohibition
Issue In other states and towns and
will be interesting to the readers Of
the East Oregonian.
The correspondence Is as follows:
To the Editor of the Spokesman
Review: In passing along the streets
of Spokane person's eyes are contin
ually meeting large posters In the sa
loon window;s with such headings as
'What Does Prohibition Do?" "Bank
ruptcy Follows Prohibition. etc.
Only the saloonkeeper's side Is given,
so I would like to say a few words
about the financial side of local op
tion. The following clipping from a paper
where I lived for 22 years illustrates
what I wish to say:
James Val. Baker. Attorney and
Counselor at Law, Morehouse, Mo.,
May 4, 190S. Business Men's League,
Bentonville, Ark. Gentlemen: I am
spf-king a good location for the prac
tice of law and am advised that your
point would be a. good location for a
stror.g law firm.
Criminal practice is a specialty with
me, and as our county is going dry as
far as liquor Is concerned, that will
cut my criminal practice short.
Have you saloons In your county
and city?
How Is the criminal practice In your
county?
How many lawyers have you in
yfiur city and county?
How are rents and property valua
tlons In your city?
Can you buy lands reasonable near
your city?
I wish to state that I am not one
that follows saloons for the purpose
of getting something to drink, for I
nevr drink evtn beer. I am simply
hunting business.
Will you please advise me by return
mall as to the prospects for a law
firm in your city, and answer the
above questions, and by so doing you
win greatly oblige. Truly,
J. VAL. BAKER.
The Reply.
Bentonville, Ark., May 7. '08.
James Val. Baker, Esq., Morehouse,
Mo. Dear Sir: Your Inquiry of May
4 handed to me. In reply to your fet
ter I am delighted to Inform you that
the citizens of Bentonville and Benton
county have advanced so rapidly In
Intelligence and civilization; have In
deed gotten so far from the unciviliz
ed that no saloon Is permitted In our
entire county, has not been one In our
county for 20 years. Each time our
people vote on that proposition the
majority Increases.
If you are looking for the great
volume of crime that the demon whis
key bring, you will not be pleased
with our people, city and county. Our
people are sober, law-abiding and
prosperous. We have the greatest
people and country on earth. Our
property Is far more valuable and our
people far more prosperous and hap.
py from the fact that we have no sa
loons, no billiard halls, no bowling
alleys, no hell holes, no destroyer of
manhod and womanhood, and homes
can exist In our midst.
We have 12 lawyers In our city.
Ver,y truly, 9K. W. MORRIS.
Mayor of Bentonville.
P. S. Our Jail door stands wide
open; not a single prisoner In It.
The above county is not In the back
woods by any means, as It has a pop
ulation of about 50,000, with four
railroads passing through the county
and more apple trees than any other
county in the United States. I lived
there when we had saloons In every
village, and our county tax never less
than 5 mills, the constitutional limit,
with county warrants worth 75 cents
to 90 cents per $1.
I saw the saloons voted out. Then 1
saw the county tax go down till It
reached a 2-miIl levy, with county
warrants worth 100 cents on the do-
i lar, because there was always money
In the treasury. Why the difference?
i There, without the saloons, one
Judge presides over the courts in four
counties, holding two courts a year,
using one-third to one-half of his
'(ime on the bench, while hero, with
all the saloons, we, have four Judges
in one county holding court almost
I the year through.
i I admit that the code of practice
i has something to do with the differ
1 ence In the cost of the courts, but the
great difference is in prosecuting
crime caused by the liquor traffic.
Does "bankruptcy follow prohibi
tion?" I shall not discuss the moral side of
the question. E. L. TAYLOR.

HYPNOTISM CUIIES A
BEDRIDDEN WOMAN,
Dr. Gayer Descrili a Remarkable
Caae of Suggestion to His Fellow
SclentlxtH.
Dr. Gustave W. Gayer, who stud
ies and practices hypnotism scientifi
cally, as did Charcot of Paris, as does
Prof. John D. Quackenbos of New
York, has reported to his fellow sci
entists a remarkable cure by hypno
tism, by controlling the patient's sub
consciousness. In brief, the facts
are:
Mrs. S. E. Maddox, a friend of Dr.
Gayer, went to his office, No. 161
West Sixty-third street, and begged
him to visit her cousin, Mrs. Florence
Connors, No. 220 West One Hundred
and Seventh street. Accordingly, Dr.
Gayer paid his first visit to Mrs. Con
nors on July 20 last. He found a wo
man of 25 years who had been bed
ridden for three months, suffering
with complication of sciatic rheuma
tism and pleurisy. Her pain was In
tense. Dr. Gayer treated rer hypnotically,
then and every day thereafter until
Tuesday last. He was called to her
on Tuesday night and found her in
a paroxysm of agony. He put her
In a hypnotic state at 9 p. m. She
came up from it ten minutes later
and seemed to be cured. So she has
remained, absolutely well, to all ap
pearances, able to walk and to per
form her household duties, free from
pain and in most cheerful spirits.
Dr. Gayer maintained last January
that his hypnotic aid was Invoked
successfully to fix the sex of a baby
which the stork had not yet trans
ported, f. o. b The mother wished
for a girL The father desired a boy.
The father secured Dr.Gayer's hyp

Gayer has cured chronic alcoholism,
by making a drunkard believe that
Mother, Brother and Sinter Sacrifice
Their Own Skin.
To save the life of 9-year-old Mil
dred Lynch, her mother, brother and
sister gave portions of their own skin
yesterday, says a New York dispatch.
It was cut off and grafted over nearly
a third of the suffering child's body.
Mildred fell Into a bonfire while
playing near her home at No. 3S8
Pine street, Brooklyn, a few weeks
ago. She was taken to the Children's
hospital, burned from her hips to her
toes. Drs. Brown and Cahlll decided
on Sunday last that skin grafting
must be resorted to.
Mildred's mother Is a poor widow.
She has four children, one younger
than Mildred. The others are Ar
thur and Isabella, aged 13 and 15
respectively. .
"I will give my own skin to save
my Mildred," cried the mother when
the doctor told her of their decis
ion. "We will give ours, too," sobbed
Arthur and Isabella.
Mildred was moved to the Kings
County hospital on Monday. There
Drs. Barber and Woolsey assisted
Drs. Cahlll and Brown In the opera
tion. Mrs. Lynch, Arthur and Isa
bella were placed under an anaes
thetic. Rapidly the doctors cut the
skin from thes thighs of mother and
children. Little Mildred's awful
burns were covered before Arthur,
who was first to come out of the
anaesthetic, opened his eyes.
"How did Mildred pull through?"
he gasped.
"Her life is saved," said one of the
doctors.
All the patients wore resting quiet
ly in the hospital last night. Arthur,
Isabella and Mrs. Lynch, radiantly
happy in spite of their wounds.
It was the most extensive skin
grafting operations In the records of
the hospital.
EXTEND IRRIGATION WORK.
Reclamation Service to Cover More
Idaho Land.
W. G. Davles, engineer in charge
of the canal work in this district for
the reclamation service, reports that
seven crews of surveyors are In the
field and are scattered from the gov
ernment dam above Boise to the Ore
gon line near Payette, surveying the
various laterals and work to be done
under the co-opcratlve plan and also
the preliminary work for bringing
more land under water, says the Boise
Capital News. Altogether, hsr says,
192 miles of canals have been laid
out, and a portion of that amount has
been built, considerable - contracted
for and the remainder ready to be
contracted.
He also states that the old Phyllis
put in condition to carry water for
mining ditch is to be cleaned out and
put in condition to carr ywater for
irrigation purposes. The ditch runs
from below Caldwell to an old placer
claim and was only used a few times.
Considerable valuable land will be
reclaimed under this ditch. In the
vicinity of Greenleaf, a new settle
ment ion the San Francisco line, and
also at Fargo, near Homedale, there
will be drops from SO to 125 feet, giv
ing several . thousand horse power,
which will be utilised. ,

I'nlwui Pound in Her Stomach and
.Mho In liiiwo of Each of Her Two
CliUdtvii Discovery UpncIh Many
Pornicr Theories Murder or Sul
r:Ie the (JiieNtion.
L;i Porte, Ind., Aug. 5. Coroner
Mack has announced that Dr. Wal
ter Haines of Rush Medical college,
who analyzed the stomach of Andrew
Hogelcln of Aberdeen, S. D., last vie-'
tlm of Mrs. Belle Cunness, finding
strychnine and arsenic In fatal doses,
has ulso found In the stomachs of
Mrs. Gunnels and two of the chil
dren arsenic and strychnine in quan
tities sufficient to have caused death.
The discovery of poison In the wo
man's stomach and that of her chil
dren has upset many of the former
theories In the case and has opened
up the possibility of Mrs. dunness
having killed the children ' In the
same manner in which she took the
lives of her victims and then having
ended her own life with a fatal dose.
Attorney Worden, who represents
Kay Lamphere, charged with the
(lunncss murders and with being an
accomplice of Mrs. Gunness In the
Helgelin death, declares that the dis
covery shows that his client could
have had nothing to do with the
death of the woman and her chil
dren. A conference between Prosecutor
Smith and Sheriff Smutzer resulted
this afternoon In the Issuance of this
Joint statement:
"The report of Dr. Haines that ha
found arsenic and strychnine In the
bodies of Mrs. Gunness and her two
children makes it absolutely a sure
thing that Mrs. Gunness Is dead,
which position, the public will re
member, has been maintained all the
time by the sheriff's office and the
prosecutor's office. Whether Mrs.
Gunness killed herself or not Is a
mooted question. We hope now that
this report will set at rest the wag'
glng tongues of a few, who have seen
fit to declare that Mrs. Gunness Is
still alive for the seeming purpose
of creating a sentiment to that ef
fect among the citizens of Laporte
county and elsewhere. At present It
does not seem that the report of Dr.
Haines will have much bearing upon
the questions Involved in the Lnm
phere case, but the main Issue. It
strikes us, is the establishment beyond
any possibility of contradiction that
the much-found Mrs. Belle Gunness
Is dead."

derful Crop.
Crop reports from over the state
indicate that Pennsylvania farmers
will accomplish some remarkable
feats during the present year, if the
rural correspondents of the Philadel
phia papers are to be believed. Stories
are coming In by the dozens regarding
the products of Pennsylvania disciples
of Luther Burbank, and in many in
stances the "plant wizard" of Cali
fornia Is hopelessly distanced.
From Wilkes-liarre comes (he ve
racious story of a wise agriculturist
who has perfected a succotash plant
by crossing sugar corn with beans.
The resulting plant Is s.ild to afford
a remarkably fine quality of succo
tash. Another Burbank, residing in Ris
ing Sun, hus taken the lemon tree,
the soda hush and the rye plant,
crossed tiiem in a scientific manner,
and produced a cross between a tree
and a bush on which grows the finest
quality of rye highballs.
Abraham Sell the name ,lt Is
hoped, has no special significance
Is an Acorn farmer and has so Im
proved his own private brand of corn
that the stalks have been growing so
rapidly that the noise they make re
sembles a battle. Several persons re
siding In the vicinity of Sell's field
have been driven almost to distraction
and threats were made to have Sell
arrested for disturbing the peace,
until he succeeded In perfecting a
mechanical device which prevents the
corn from 'growing at night, thus al
lowing the neighbors to sleep.
Less startling but equally wonder
ful Is the story that comes from a
truthful correspondent at Murphy's
Cross Roads, where John Slavln has
crossed the common) Irish potato of
commerce with the butter bean and
thus produced a butter potato. At
Coatesville, it is reported that on In
vestigating agriculturist has effected
a cross between ordinary oats and the
burning bush, thus growing oats al
ready cooked. Next year he will ot
tempt to graft the milk weed, to the
end that the morning dish of cereal
may be ready for eating.
Many other stories of remarkable
agricultural and Jiortlcultural exper
iments have been sent to Philadelphia
papers by rural reporters, but some
of them appear to bo slightly exag
gerated and the careful news editors
of the Quaker City will refrain from
giving them publicity until the facts
have ben carefully ascertained.
For the first time in nearly 60
years there Is no regular boat service
on the Snake river between Lnwlston
and Raparia. The O. R. & N. boats
have abandoned their schedule owing
to the , Installation of the railroad
service. , Freight steamers will be In
operation as Boon as the wheat begins
to move In any considerable quanti
ties, but the day of the regular pas
senger service Is passed.
