In all of those maladies from which woman suffers under modem conditions of life. Osteopathic treat ment is especially useful and may be fully relied upon. In no field have Osteopaths had wider experi ence than kn this; and much of the early fame of the science ,was due to Us unparalleled success in tie treatment of these cases. The ne cessity of dangerous operations Is otviiated in very many cases which is a great deal in itself aside from the fact that the health of the pa tient is certain to be better after a natural recovery thru Osteopathy than It can possibly be after mutila tion by the knife of the surgeon. Neither is there any reason for the belief that many hold that the treatment to especially embarrass ing. While local treatment is often needful In. which case it would be foolUh of the patient to object and culpable in the Osteopath not to ad minister it yet in a very large pro portion of cases. It is not required; and the spinal treatment that is an essential In practically all of these cases is administered thru a, gar ment. There Is every -reason for woman in her sufferings from maladies peculiar, to her spinal anatomy, to regard Osteopathy as her best friend and strongest ally. Right Way.

A drastic antl-lnitoxlcatlng bever age ordinance was passed by the council at its meeting Monday night, March 21, that is expected to close up the near beer placs, of which, two have been running in this city with out payment of city license.

This cir cular is to prepare stock owners tor the visit of the enumerator. For the information of those ,who fail to receive a circular, It is herewith printed In full: Portland, March 23, Dear Sir The proper method for securing an accurate census of the live stock in the states making use of the public domain or range for the feeding of cattle and sheep has been the subject of much consideration by those in charge of the thirteenth census. It has been decided by the Di rector of the Census that the enum eration of live stock shell be under the direction of the Supervisors of the census. The plan, as agreed upon, is to allow the enumerators to collect the statistics concerning Mve stock on the general agricultur al schedule at the same time that they are engaged in. collecting the statistics concerning population and agriculture. As supervisor of census In your district, I am very anxious to ob tain a complete and accurate cen sus of live stock. This will be Im possible without the cooperation of the live stock interests; and in or der that you may be prepared for the visit of the census enumerator, which will be om April 15 or short ly thereafter, I am Inclosing a copy of the general agricultural schedule on which the enumerator will re-, port your farm or ranch. I trust that you will read the instructions printed on this schedule and fill H out as completely as you can in advance of the enumerator's visit, giving especial attention- to the number and value of live stock In your possession. You should report am domestic an imals on your farm or ranch, on April 15, 1910. If you make use of the public domain in connection jWlth your farm or ranch, you should report all domestic) animals belong ing to you and under your care on that date, even though a part, or all of them are being grazed on the pub lic domain, and are not kept on your farm or ranch. However, if you have given out any of your live s ock to be taken care of on other ranches or farms, you should not re port such live stock on the schedufo sent you. They wittl be reported on the ranch where they are kept and not on your ranch. The advance receipt of this sched ule wil' not only give you am oppor tunity to prepare careful answers to the questions asked, but will save both you and the enumerator con siderable time when he calls- to see you. The information given by you to the enumerator will bo held In strict confidence. It .will not be Imparted to another branch of the Federal Government nor to any tax assessor. I, therefore, earnestly be speak your assistance and coopera tion. Very respectfully, S. C. BEACH, Supervisor.

A carload (26) of steers shipped from this city Satur day, by Combes & Hotchkiss, sold Tuesday at $6.75 per hundred. The steers averaged 1213 pounds, so the average price of them was $81.88 each. How's that for high? This is 15 cents a hundred1 pounds ahead of anything heretofore offer ed at the Union stockyards of Port land. The preceeillng day two car loads sold at $6.60, which was1 10 cents, higher than ever before. Cows are selling at $5.50, the high est price ever reached oa Portland market. Hogs continue to soar as. if they had .wings, the top being $11.75. Ba con, the standard poor man's food since the Lewis & Clarke expedi tion, Is now out of the reach of ev erybody except Wallowa county res idents, who sell the hogs, cattle, sheep or wool that everybody else must pay the big prices for.
