According to a report received
on November 14, at the Portland
office of the U.S. Forest service
from A. G. Jackson of the Siskiyou
forest, a government corner stake
was recently found on the beach
at Port Orford. The stake is of
Douglas fir, 4 inches square, plainly
scribed as what surveyors call a
“meander corner” which is usually
set along streams. Upon checking
the original central land office
plats in the forest service offices
in Portland, it was found that this
stake was set in 1859, by Van Vleet
and Newson, who were surveying
the mid-Columbia region in the vi­
cinity of Stevenson, Wash., in that
year. This survey was approved on
April 16, 1860, et Olympia, by
James Tilton, surveyor-general of
Washington territory.
The stake was evidently set origi­
nally near the high water mark on
the north bank of the Columbia
river and subsequently was taken
out by floods, drifting down the
river to the sea, and finally, after
no one knows how long a time, find­
ing a resting place at Port Orford,
more than 500 miles from its origi­
nal location. The stake is reported
to show clearly the old markings
and to read MCS11T2NR7E on one
side and MCS2 on the opposite side,
which, in a surveyor’s language,
means meander corner of section
11 township 2 north range 7 east,
and meander corner of section 2.

in feeding value and is as palatable.
It is molded or spoiled sweet clover
hay or silage which produces a type
of poisoning in cattle, according to
F. L. Ballard, state county agqnt
leader. Examinations indicate that
blood from animals suffering from
the results of consuming spoiled
sweet clover hay shows loss of coag­
ulating power. When this condition
becomes acute the blood passes
through the walls of the blood ves­
sels and the immediate cause of
death is loss of blood. Investiga­
tions in North Dakota indicate that
the disease is primarily one of
young cattle, but is not uncommon
in older cattle.
Exhaustive
experiments
have
proved that sheep sometimes react
to this poison but under normal
conditions do not. At the North
Dakota experiment station rabbits
have been used as an indicator as
they react to the poison more rap­
idly than young cattle, often ar­
riving at the bleeding stage with­
in six days. Feeding the rabbits and
cattle from the same supply of
sweet clover or hay or silage has
been recommended a3 one way of
testing the feed. There are no au­
thentic reports of any poisoning
from sweet clover hay carefully
cured in the field and stored in
such a manner as to avoid wetting
and subsequent heating.
