BVFFALO IN EASTERN OltlOON
Kit i'arsan Saw Thorn oa tfco Das

Farmington, W., Oct., 18. See-
loj he oote in regard to tbe bufalo
calf now oa exhibition is Portland,
calls to miod the fact that at no
very distant day the bison was a
denizen of Easter Oregon. Mr.
H. S. llazlitt, ot thiijplace, says:
"la a biography of Kit Carson
the fact 19 stated that Carson saw
buffaloes on the Deschutes plains
when he mkdo the trip to Cali
fornia ith Fremont in 1843. In
18T7 the late Frank F. Pringle,
ef Priatville, broke twelve acres of
sod for S. J. Jtewsome, oa New
some creek, Crook couaty, Or., aad
while doing so we (or rather Frank)
plowed up the skeleton of a ouffaio
which was barely covered wi:h soil,
and in an excellent state of preser
vation. From observation while
riding the raage, I judged that his
buffaloship had probably sue
CUDttbed to tbe rigors of winter in
the early fifties.
"Three miles west of the New
some place, oa the ranch bow
owned bv E. G. Conant, a few years
before, the Ewell brothers had un
earthed a buffalo's skeleton while
breaking sod, and seven miies from
there, on Bear creek, the first set
ters found several of them.

Therefore, Kit Carsan undoubtedly
saw tlio buffalo on the plains of the
Deschutes, abeTe the mouth of
Crooked riTcr, as lie states to his
biographer. For corroboration tf

Serious Diseases KesuItmK from
Excessive ".Spanking."
lies Homo Journa'. 1
Wliile children are much more
induced aad considered in this
a;e than before, they are still the
. '
victims of a barbarous custom. I
refer to the practice of whipping
as punishment. Though it has
long since been largely abolished
iu our own aud other countries as a
must inhuman mode of punishment,
little children are still beaten,cufled
and spanked by fond (?) parents m
a mast uucouscionable manner. It
i . pretty generally conceded that
cuffiug children on the head or ears
is frequently fraught with the most
serious resuits -many cases ot deaf
ness and even brain disease having
arisen from this practice. Evils
quite as grave result from the pun
ishment known as "spanking."
Blows driven with more or less
severitv and greater or less fre
quency in the region cf the spine
will, sue contends, cause serious
brain or spinal trouole. Moreover,
fie stats of tbe brain and nervous
system have a great effect upon the
disposition, and the shock which
my possibly cure one fault may,
or disorderiD" and deranging tn
nervous system, produce faults of a
much graver and mre complicated
