Regarding Diseases of Woman.
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.

Owners of Range
Stock Informed
Cejnsus Supervisor Sands Circular To
Prepare For Enumerator's
Visit
Census Supervisor Beach of this
district is sending out circulars of
information to owners of live stock
In this county wherever he has been
able to secure the names. 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.

WALLOWA
COUNTY
STEERS JP PRICE
COMBES & HOTCHKIS3 GET HIGH
EST MARKET! EVER KNOWN
AT PORTLAND YARD8.
Again Wallowa county stock has
broken the record for price on he
Portland market. 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.
Humbling a Lawyar.
A prominent Indianapolis lawyer
tells a story of a letter he dictated
to a new stenographer to a client In
Cincinnati. The client, a new one. had
asked his opinion as to certain busi
ness relations here. He dictated like
this: -
"Dear Sirs Tours of the 0th Inst
at hand. My first blush opinion as
to the matter," etc.
The new stenographer wrote the let
ter and submitted It to the lawyer.
Since she was a new stenographer he
read the letter with care to his ever
lasting relief. She bad written it:
"Dear Sirs Yours of the 0th Inst,
at hand. My first gush of opinion as
to the matter," etc. Indianapolis Star.
