J. FUNK a CO. Rev. Samuel Harris, pastor of the Enterprise Presbyterian church, with out companion or guide except his past experience tn mountain climbing, went tip Hurricane canyon, Monday, and Tuesday crossed the saddle and B. C. basin and made the ascent to the summit of Eigle Cap. the famed giant of the Powder River mountains, and the highest vexk in Eastern Orejon. Mr. Harr returned to Enterprise Wednesday none the worse of his 40 mile mountain .Journey .and full of satisfaction at having scaled the highest and most noted mountain peak between the Rockies and Cas cades. He also resolved to his satis faction several disputed points. Mr. Harris Is convinced there are no glaciers around Eagle Cap. On the north side is an Immense snow bank and the sun shlnlig on the center of that givea a gKclsr like appearance to one on top of the mountains around Wallowa Lae. Mr. Harris aays Marble Mountain In Hurricane Canyon is by far the most beautiful of all the sights uP the canyon. Whea the saddle is crossed and you behold the wonder ful basin of lakei, with their velvety frame of green, the great enow banks toppling into their edge, and all flanked and surrounded by majestic peaks, the scene ii beautiful beyond description. Mr. Harris counted 11 lakes and he says each one ls a gem with its own individual beauty or characteristic. ' Mr. Harris crossed the basin to the foot of the peak, then turned to the right (west) and made the ascent from that direction. The climb is not hazardous and not especially difficult, calling, at the most, for only plenty of muscle, Under a cajra of atone, on the very summit, he. found a pickle bottle, in which written on cards and plainly visible through the Kla3s were these memoranda: -First reading 11 a, m.. 8ept, 15. 1907, Fred W, Colvllle, botanist, U, S. Dept. of Agriculture. Aneroid reading, 9860 feet. In company with Arthur W. Sampson,'' "Second aneroid reading, 10:45 a. ra August 26,1909, .9800 feet, Arthur W, Sampson. U. S, Forest Service. Timber line app.OAimately 9300 feof." If the foregoing readings are ap proximately correct, they should set I at rest the old dispute of Eagle Cap s ; height. The la it reading was made just six day 8 b ore Mr. Harris was at the summit. Rev. Harris 1) no novice at moun tain climbing. He has explored the loftiest peaks of the Alps and knows a glacier when he meets one. The unattended trip up the canyon and ascent of the peik were more of a pleasure than a hardship to falm and the Journey was made all the more pleasant by kindly hospitality offer ed by the herJers at the several sheep camps he came upon. He did not see a wild animal on the trip. Subscribe for the Chieftain. OAK LEAF DIET KILL8 CATTLE IN SOUTHWE8T The stockmen grazing their cattle on the National Forests in the South west, especially la Colorado and New Mexico, have suffered serious losses during the present summer through the cattle eating oak leaves. In that section of the country the season has been unusually dry and grass extremely scarce. To eke out the scanty forage supply, the cattle have browsed heavily on the scrub oak which covers large portions of the range. Ordinarily the stock does not browse much on the oak and the . little they do get, taken with the other food, is not injurious, but when, as In the present season, the oak browse furnishes a large proportion of the daily food of the cattle, the results are serious. The oak leaves and sprouts contain a large percentage of tannic acid. The action of this acid on the stomach is extremely injurious and the law es have been unusually severe. The symptoms of the disease are staring eye3, feverish and blistered lips and nose, the animal ceases to graze or seek for food, standing in one place for hours at a time. The coat becomes rough and the hair is all turned the wrong way, a in case of loco poisoning. The animal does not chew its cud and (n a com paratively short time It becomes too weak to remain on its feet and death rapidly follows. So far as is known the only avail able remedy for this trouble is lin seed oil given a a drench In amounts from one to two quarts. The oil appears- to overcome the Injurious effects of the tannic acid and if the disease Is not advanced too far and the animal can be furnished suffici ent food so it will not be forced to eat the oak. it wl l generally recover. The best method, of course. In handl ing the trouble. Is, if possible, to get the cattle away from the range where the oak Is found and furnish them with plenty of green feed to build up again.

AERIAL RACES HELD. Rhelms, Aug. 24. A marvelous prolonged high flight of 18A miles In a 20-knot breeze by Paulham and tne 3tabllshment of a new world's record for 10 kilometers at the rate of 48 miles an hoar by Blerlot were features of the aartal races today. Paulhani'e achievement has. made him the hero of the meeting. After making two rounds at 250 feet he reached a height of between 400 and 500 feet. The bi plane Btruck what seemed to be a dangerous angle and swayed In the wind, but 'each time righted itself, Pajlham completing the exploit with wonderful exhibition of maneuvering. Latham put I two machines out of commission in an attempt to start. He finally got away and made a superb flight of three rounds at a height of 300 feet. A New Way to Can Tomatoes. Last summer I tried a new method of canning tomatoes, and It proved so satisfactory that I want to pass It on. Scald and peel the tomatoes as usual. Have the cans sterilized, place the raw tomatoes In them whole pour in boiling water to fill the cans, running a knife around in the cans. so that all the crevices are filled, then put on the cover Place the cans in a boiler or large vessel, pour in boiling water till It reaches the neck of the can, put the lid on the boiler, wrap it with a blanket or rug, and leave until the water Is cold, which will be next morning. The can are then ready to put away, , I did not lose a can out of forty quarts. Wberj the cans were opened, the tomatoes were whole and firm enough to slice easily Woman's Horn Compan'on for September. Read the advertisements.
