Prevention Best for
Muscle Disease Control
White muscle disease continues to
take a heavy toll of lambs and calves
in Oregon. This condition will strike
in most sections of the state and has
occurred in Columbia county, indi
cates County Extension Agent Don
Coin Walrod.
Prevention is the best means of
control and can be accomplished by-
injecting the mother or the offspring
with selenium. Cost of a preventa
tive treatment is extremely low when
compared to losses. Treating mater
ials must be obtained from practic
ing veterinarians, but producers may
give the injections.

Sauvies Island
History Sought
THURSDAY. DEC. 17, 1964_______3
At the monthly meeting of the Co
lumbia County Historical Society at
the Columbia county fairgrounds De
cember 9, there was a small attend
ance because of the many Christmas
parties, but guests were present from
Beaverton.
They were Mr. and Mrs. John W.
Patterson and their daughter, Mrs.
J. Robert Filley .descendents of the
Jonathan Moar family, first settlers
of Sauvie’s Island. Mrs. Filley, who
is a member of the Sons and Daugh
ters of Oregon Pioneers, is prepar
ing a paper on the history of Sauvies
Island, and the county society is
glad to help her with any material
they have on this subject.
In the files they have records giv
en by J. Neilson Barry covering ma
ny little known facts regarding early
history of this area, which it is for
tunate to have, since Mr. Barry has
passed away and can no longer in
spire others with his letters of infor
mation.
Members oi the society would ap
preciate more support from St. Hel
ens and surrounding areas, since it
is felt that the work is most impor
tant in preserving historical records
and early relics in the county mu
seum, while such are still available.
Several years ago the society con
tacted the chamber of commerce and
other groups with little success, and,
as time goes on, they realize that
many things are lost to the society
and the coming generations.
Report was made of sale of histori
cal booklets far and wide, some going
to Victoria and Vancouver, B.C.,
Montreal, Canada, Seattle city li
brary and many other places. An old
quotation comes to mind: “A prophet
is not without honor save in his own
country”, and this seems to be as
true now as it was in ancient times.
Material comes in regularly for a
fourth historical booklet, which is
planned, and those having such in
teresting stories are invited to send
it in to the secretary, Mrs. Pearl
Becker, for consideration.
The next meeting of the society is
planned for January 20, weather per
mitting, at the fairgrounds.
