"Water" "Oregon Water" or,4poison" Hemlock CHARACTERISTICS OP EACH Correspondent Says Only the Root of the Deschutes Plnnt Is Harmful nnd Hint not for Horses. DiMCiiimtA, Crook Co., Or. July 28 (To the Jvditorj In your last issue I sec n note to the effect that Dr. Nichol has lost two horses through what he thinks is thcvatcr hemlock and thinks that the horses that died on the ditch work were killed by eating the wild hay that grows on the Deschutes river. I do not think his horses died from eating the wild hay or that they got the poison from that source, as the tops of the water hemlock arc harmless and only the root will jioi.son cattle 'and I do not think it will poison horses at all, neither the roots nor the tops. At least I never heard of such a thing as the water hemlock killing horse? and it seems to me impossible for the root of the weed to get into the hay. If anyone is interested in finding out il it will horses he can find out by addressing the Agri cultural College at Corvallis, Ore gon. John Atkinson. According to Farmers' Bulletin No. 86, entitled "Thirty Poisonous Plants of the United states," issued by the department of agriculture at Washington, water hemlock or spotted jwrsley is found rarely on the eastern s'ope of the Rockies and is not mentioned as appearing at all west of that range. This is not conclusive, however, for dis coveries of both plant and animal life are frequently made on the Pacific slope that have distinct re lation with forms on the other side. This side is too new for all products to be known to science. The Bui letin says: This ih one of the most poisonous native plant in the fulled StHte, tcltiK rapilly fatal to Ituth iimii ami aniniflls. The riMttimrc eK.'cilly daneron. In iutr)ii' cattle are Mioitel by drink iuK water eotitaminated by the jnicc of mot that haw liven rrutHeil by lieing tramped upon. Another plant that is described is the Oregon water hemlock, which blooms in July and August, with white clusters on stems three to six feet tall, and has a fleshy, bulbous root, which furnishes the bulk of the poison. A piece of this as bip as a walnut is fatal to a cow. Professor Hedrick, of the Oregon Agricultural College, believes that more than too cattle are killed by it every year in Oregon. This seems to be the plant referred to by Mr. Atkinson. Poison hemlock is described as still another of tlioe fatally poison ous plants, also known as spotted parsley. It isnuativeof Kurope and Asia but hus become naturalized in the United States and is spread from coast to coast. Its blossoms appear in July and August in showy clusters of white on hollow stalks two to seven feet tall. Any part of the plant is poisonous at nil times, but the root is comparatively harmless in the spring months This is the plant with which Socrates was killed. The first two of these plants grow in wet, marshy places, the other in any old waste place. Tumnto Items. Where i Tiuimlo?

ALL LIKE THIS COUNTRY GOVERNOR MERRICK GREATLY PLEASED Tells Portland People About lt--Da- kota People Come to Bend to Sec if Crops Really Grow. Messrs. Turney Johnston andStan Icy, of the D. I. & P. Co., and their guests, Governor Hcrrickand party, had a fine trip across the mountains to Lebanon last week. When tbev reached Albany the citizens gave them a reception that completely captivated them. At Portland Governor Hcrrick spoke glowingly of the Deschutes country in a col umn story in the Journal, saying among other things. " It K-ems to me that the irrigation work 011 tile JJevchutes U a great pro ject" said governor Merrick, "a work that will Ik of itreat benefit to the state. Water in running through Mime of the canals that are to reclaim 300,000 acres. The reMilt of irrigation i wonderful, .and which Itefore only knew the sage lirut.li and jackrahltit suddenly become an expanse of fertile fields, growing all cereals and fodders, garden truck and the luxuriesas well as the necessities of agriculture. It seemed that almont any thing in the line of agriculture common to the country was found there, except corn. "The experiment station established there, which is under control of the ioverumeut, is doing good work. A rep reM.nitatie lias been sent to take chance of the station and is directing the vnl liable experiment work in progress. This insure to be of great Iwucfit to the farmers taking the laud, as they are taught the exact quantity of water re quired for best results, and shown what is too little or too much. The moit ap proved methods of preparing the land are taught. 1 11 every respect I found the experiment station flurishitig. "The transportation problem is going to tic solved without any trouble on the part of the people down there. Thev sre now producing n tonnage tlwt will bring the railways, wiOtotU bonus or further effort "the eUlers coming in, their supplies required and the produce ready for the outside market will quickly solve this problem. The production ol the soil will lie tremendous in the near future, for the water, all that is required to make it phenomenally fertile, is being delivered. "That is a good law under which this work is being done. It is beneficial to the jK-oplc in encouraging development and in limiting the price which may be charged for land." Prauk Glass came in Tuesday with n party of Kastern people who had started for the Deschutes country but met with so many knockers that they were going back without investigating-. Thej were taken out to Powell buttes to see the grain fields nnd fruits, came to Kend to see the I). I. & P. Co.'s experiment farm nnd the gardens and went away convinced that what they heard was untrue and that this country would be richly productive. The O'Neil garden the first year and as fine as any where Tompkins' 6J4-fbot peas and Ilatten's garden and field con vinced these doubting Thomases completely. A. 11. Kst.ebeuct purchased the A. C. Lm;as 'residence property last week, for a consideration of 1,100, and will move in about the soth of this month. This ex cellent property is situated at the cornprof Tenth street and Hawthorn nyentte, in the eastern part of town and Mr. Kstebenet considers himself- fortunate to have been able to secure- so desirable a location. W.K. Gjterjn, jr., having when Governor Herrjck, was here made arrangements for taking up n lu crative law practice in Cleveland, Ohio, is about ,t,o move there. The family will leave Bend tomorrow ,for a. trip over the mountains to the railroa.it at'-L-qb.arton. Mr. Gnerin fctiU retain;? substantial interests here, 'but since he chance was ,rmicle tlie .ildling "At "ditch" t.-nm mere ,jms oeen uotnntg , to emploV hun profisi6naUy h'eVe nnd h.e rctajiti toflhio There hvgen crnlvregre thai th'e ta'ffuty moves away. WAGES RAISED AGAIN Men on Ditch to be Paid $2.25 a Day. NEW RATE FROM AUGUST I Fifty More Men are Wanted and Steady Employment Promised No More Teamsk The Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company this week advanced wage, of men employed ort cahal construc tion from $2 to $2.5 a day the rate that was paid before the re duction of last February. This ad vancc dates from August i The company would like to get fift more workmen at once and will vcive them steady employment at the new figure. Of teams the com pany has more than enough of its own for nil present needs, but it will take new men as fast as thev come. The work on the flume will be completed by the middle of this month, and nftcr that there will he no interruption except by acrf dent) in the service of watct through that channel. Several of the carpenters now employed then arc expected to go to Redmond for construction of new quat of tho company there A crew of men is employed on the Central Oregon canal extcntiou a dozen miles or so to the southeast of Bend, hut the force has been so reduced by the hegira to the har vest fields that the progress has not been all that was detrcd On account of shortage of men the company this week turned out to pasture 35 horses. The increase ot vvages is expected to bring the total brce up to about 100 men and then the company can work 60 of its teams. At Redmond the company will erect headquarters buildings similar to thoe it has at Bend, except tho office which will be one-story, nm there will be only one grain store house. Two Accidents. Harry Hinton who works for the Bend Livery 'and Transfer Co., fell from the backofaloadof hay toda noon and struck across a scantling on the small of his back, suffering quite serious injury, which will lav him up for several weeks. Tom Parkminton, one of the workmen employed on Central Ort on canal construction, is at the Merrill hospital with a broken leg He was working at clearing Jght of-way Wednesday, and six horses eere pulling to uproot a junipc tree, when some part of a harness broke and let a whitTletree back tgainst Parkinson's leg with such force as to fracture the bone just below the knee. It is not thought that the joint will be affect.-1 by the injury. Dr. Coe set the member, and the man was brought to towi yesterday. - Mr. and Mrs. P. L. TonlpkiiK left today noon for a trip acros, to Lebanon, taking with them tlu baggage of the Guerins. They w il' return to Bend in about a week, Mr. and Mrs. P. Cooper am' daughter, of Rosebnrg, were it Bend this week on their way honu from a visit with the Ira 1 Weimers, at Post. Mrs. Wcimer is a daughter of Mr. and Mr Coooer. The Cooncrs have been on a long camping trip, first dowi tne Willamette valley to Portland where they took in the fair, thei through Kastern Oregon, and nov they arc on their way home.
