A Word About Osteopathy.
Dr. StlU called his new system os
teopathy, Osteor-ahs, then being
essentially anatomists Jocate a les
slon caused by a bone or ligament
or a contracted muscle compressing
a nerve, a blood vessel or some
organ and cure the trouble by re
moving the lesion.
Why there ehoald be any opposi
tion to the free practice of osteo
pathy Is not clear except that some
people are always too busy to stop
the progress of the world. Harvey,
the discoverer of the circulation of
the blood, suffered ignominy and con
tempt at the. hands of his medical
brethren, and his practice dwindled
to very smalt proportions. Galileo
was put in prison for saying the
earth moves around the sun. But
those who trust themselves in the
hands of an osteopathic physician
can rest aisured that ha thoroughly
undertsands. the anatomy of the- hu
man body, and wl I soon be able to
locate in the particular spot the
esion causing tli mischief or dis
3ase, and that" only such manipula
tions are exerted which will set
iie bone3 in thslr place or remove
any obstacle or constrict on and
lius aKow a fcea flow of blood and
Jf nervous energy. In these days ol
Hia-gery, when it U sjuglit to bring
jvery possible dHsase in 'the domain
t the surgeon the people should be
Jlad to see simple manipulations
Hum; h over cl ficult cases which
iven the surgeon's knife could no!
.emove.
These remarks are offered in a
.'riendly spirit, and not to antagonize
my school or medicine; they are
.jrompled by a love of fair play in
he land of the free. After manj
ears of medical studies from all
osslbla standpoint, the writer, as t
lisinteres'ed party not tied to an)
.articular school, neither riding a fa
ored hobby, is forced to recognize
he positive fact that osteopathy is
, nerely appliel anatomy a-id physl
logy; and those who fight it do
o either from Ignorance or malice.

3AKER COUNTY FARMERS
PASS UP GOOD THING
From Baker City; Democrat.
For 49 hogs' yesterday, weighing
lot over 200 poinds each, the' Bak
ir Tacking company paid an Eagle
alley farmer 755.
There is nothing so remarkable
bout the fact Itself, but it does in
dicate the high prices obtaining, and
he scarcity of Baker county porkers.
Work it out mathematically and it
s almost impossible to find a reas
m for such scarcity, for the Baker
valley should be one of the best hog
ilatrlctsi In Oregon.
Yet on the other hand the pack
.ig company has purchased every
ival'able porker in the county for
he next month and still has a great
icarclty.
Where a year ago the company
lad 18,000 pounds of lard, y ester
lay there was only GOO pounds in
he; shops. They cannot supply Bak
ir county's needs with Baker's pork
irs npt nearly.
Yet conditions here are almost
deal for hog raising!
By running the Bhoat3 on alfalfa
Mtil t'aey reach 150 pounds in weight
ind then turning them Into the fat
ening pens on. a ration ot wheat, ac
ording to the Oregon Agricultural
Experiment Statl-.n, the farmers can
..irt on the fir.it K0 .pounds of
weight at 3'4, cents per pound, and
-an add the next 100 so that the
tfhe&t fed will pay them in pork
eight at the rate of $1.50 per
bushel.
Under euch co.idUIons there are
oorea of ranchers In Baker county
uost adml:ably fitted to raise the
.nebeian hog with great profit far
greater than they are getting from
-heir alfalfa and grain under their
present system of marketing their
crops as crops yet for some reason
there are very few who will pay any
attention to that phase of their
business,

Thursday, by a score of 16 to 0.
fhe team went out expecting to play
the La Grande high school team,

The local boys put up a nervy,
gritty game nevertheless and never
jlopped-iighting until the game was
oVer. They lost because they were
;reatly overmatched in weight. The
a Grande Star said of the Wallowa
.'ounty boys:
Enterprise gained their yardage
hut twice In the game once on a
ecovered punt and once o.i a for
ward pass usually being thrown for
ossaa bohind their own scrimmage
ine, 'being' outweighted and outplayed
jy the local teim all the way,
uough the visitors, are worthy of a
;reat deal of praise for the game
ight they made against odds, and
ney fought jast as hard when the
:core had run up to 16 to 0 as they
jid -when the 11. st few plays were
nade, and showel notable school
ind fighting spirit. This is their
'irst year in high school football
md . another year should see them
veil up in front in the eatsern Ore
son lists. They are a very gentle
