State Medical Association.
From Tuesdays Daily.

The twentieth annual meeting of the
state medical association convened this
afternoon in the congregational church
in this city, and was called to srder at
O'Clock by the president, DR.. w. E. Rine-
hart. There was fail representation of
members of the profession, though not as
full as at former sessions; but it is ex-
pected that many more Will arrive on the
afternoon train.
The address of the presldent-the espe-
cial feature fthe proceedings to-dav-was
well delivered and elected considerable
attention. We should be pleased to print
it in full, but the lateness of the hour
prevented this, and we can only give our
readers very brief synopsis. He wei
coined the visitors to the city and hoped
their short stay might be agreeable and
beneficial in medical as we'll as q social
sense. These meetings, he said, are OF
great interest and vast Importance TO the
members of the profession, because OF the
opportunity afforded OF exchanging views
in the different branche, of medicine and
surgery. By this means we are raised to
higher plane in the practice of our noble
wider and broader view of the great field
of medicine, which is now progressing
with such herculean strides. To keep up
with the advancing columns of scientific
research, will prove source of gratitica-
ton to US and of great benefit TO our
trusting patients, who depend upon our
counsel in disease and accident. He then
spoke of the wonderful progress made in
the medical field in the last decade, and
said that anti-septics and aseptics surpass
the surgery of twenty wears ago as much
as the iron horse did the OK team of our
grandfaihers. Our present knowledge of
the cause and therepeut cs of disease has
also made as marked advancement dur
ing the same period. The doctor dwelt
al some length on this theme, and said
should he liye out his allotted time he
expected to see tuberculosis, cholera and
yellow, typhoid and other feyers as easily
treate1 as in smallpox to-day. The micro
scope has made wonderful discoveries,
and the achievements of the future Will
be as wonderful as those in the past. A
healthy human body should pass into
death like child going to sleep, and
human life should round out century.
If proper attention was paid to the laws
of healihful propogatlou of the species
there is no reason that man should fall
into the grave at the early age he now
does. Ihe future was promising, and the
doctor closed his interesting address by
skimming over the ground of future
scientific research. At the close the meet
ing adjourned until tomorrow.

The game still goes on, and more
banks have suspended. o-day fail
ures are reported from Ellenshurgh
and Roslyn, Wash. So far, Oregon
stands solid against the tempest, and
it is confidently expected will with
stand the shock. The state may be
the land of mossbacks, but during
financial storms slow and sure is q
good motto. 1t IS probable that more
enterprise might have been exercised
by our citizens, and still no tremulous-
ness felt during these hard times; but
they have risked nothing and are
therefore not in imminent danger.

The class of immigrants to this
country is of the greatest consideration
to the patriot, for on this largely de-
pends the future of the republic
Whether he comes from Great Britain
or continental Europe, the industrious
home-seeker should be welcomed, while
the ignorant and shiftless should have
the gates barred against him. The
greater danger is from the facility
with which newcomers are made clti-
zens, and created a part of the body
polite of the nation. A change in
i'm migration and naturalization laws
is imperatipely demanded; but in the
former greater discrimination should
be made in regard to classes than to
nationalities, and longer time should
be made necessary in the latter before
the privilege of the elective frapchise
is granted to the individual.

Blood has been shed in the riot at
Lemont, and this was expected from
the first. This is free country, but
the supremacy of law must be main

quit work whenever they have just

any other way; but they should not
destroy property or prevent others
from taking their places. This is sim
ply guaranty of personal liberty to

SLIOK-EARS.

In the first settlement of the Pacific slope
there was not the incest discrimination be-
tween nseun and tuum, and this was espe-
cially true regarding the vast herds Of cattle
roaming over the boundless bunch grass
plans. This fact was iorcibly brought to
mind not long ago In conversation with an
old resident. Three or four persons were
sitting in tine shade passing the time away
in an agreeable manner, and among them
was a newspaper reporter. The oldest man
present, and who came to the northwest
about the time that Joe Meek and j. w
Coventon did. had just finished an interest.
ing account of participating in battle dur
ing the war In Mississippi bayou. where
the principal casulties were death by drown
ing, and where confederate and federal
battled for supremacy by attempting to
hold each other under water until life was
extinct, when pioneer days and lynch law
were brought up for discussion. He refilled
his pipe, settled himself comfortably on the
table and proceeded. The vigilantes in
San Francisco in 1856 were his friends, and
he was also cognizant of their actions in
Montana and Waila Walla; but lynch law
did not prevail In some places where it
would haye been much better for honest
men if it had. In early days, throughout
Nevada, California and in portions of Ore
gon cattle raising was the principal in
dustry, and, he continued, if the skull and
cross.bones society had attended to matters
there would have been less ''sllck. ears"
He was in the butcher business then, and
pursued his calling honestly. Ooe time
he rode over the range for several days to
gather some cattle he had purchased, and,
perceiving one that had different brand
had helped to drive her out; but the man
who was with him attempted to have MIN
indicted for stealing. After that he made
no investigation regarding his purchases.
Cattle.stealine was very common, and every
spring the range was thoroughly rode over,
and any animal not having brand was
gathered IN out of the cold and rain. He
had knowledge of these facts because he |
could see on some of the cattle he slaugh- |
tered one mans ear.lap and another's brand
Close to a fourishing town, some farmers
had few cattle ranging in pasture, and,
instead of increasing in numbers they were
constantly diminishing. After all had dis. |
appeared, one of the butchers who had |
helped himself, told the narrator
that they made the best beef he had |
eyer sold, and they cost him only the |
trouble of driving them into the slaughter
pen. One man had been more successful |
than his neighbors in gathering ''slick-ears"
and they determined to send him to the |
penitentiary. Our friend was summoned |
before the grand jury, and the fellow was
indicted, tried and conYicted, and sentenced
to three years in the '.pen." While giving |
his testimony he was asked by the district |
attorney If there were more cases of cattle
stealing of which he knew. He answered
in the affirmative, and was asked why he
did not state the names. His reason was

In the language of President Ceve-

Herdlng Salmon.

Our reporter listened to the worst Maun-
chausen story about fish he ever heard, in
the sheriffs Office one day last week. The
'yarn.splnner" was quiet. meek looking
individual, and the victim, an eastern man,
who was desIrous OF ascertaining every thing
in connection with fishing on the Colum bIa
river. Inquiries had been made about fish
wheels and how they operated, and then
questions were asked concerning traps at the
mouth of the river, To this the disciple of
Maunchausen calmly replied that the trap"
was in the shape of corral, and into these
millions were herded every year. The
manner of doing was that about 100 Nor
weglans and Swedes were hired, because,
on the northern coasts OF these countries
they had become acquainted with the
habits of these fish from early childhood.
There were fifty boats employed, two men
to each craft. and they patrolled the river
day and night. By the peculiar phosphor-
escent light emitted bv schools of salmon
they could be discerned for long distance.
As soon as this light was perceived the
men prepared for active W rk, and by a
peculiar vibration of the water attracted the
fish to them, and as soon as they came in
side the circle of the boats they were driven
into the corrals. The sight. the narrator
said, was peculiarly thrilling. In their
eager fight from their pursuers the salmon
would throw spray high into the air, and
the scene resembled very much the flight of
a school of whales in the Arctic ocean.
These fish are very nervous and can perceive
sensations in water muck qui ker than We
can by means Of hearing In the open air.
The herders, accustomed to tins popularity,
would drive them IN any direction they de-
sired, and succeeding usually in corralling
millions at every ''round up" After once
within the enclosure they were easily
landed on the shore and taken to the cau-
nerles. But" said the eastern m n,
''would not this wholesale catching OF fish
soon depopulate the river and overstock the
market?" This did not checkmate the
meek man in the least, for he said he conld
refer to one OF our most reputable citizens
who bad walked across the Columbia on
salmon jam-they were so plentiful-juss as
a logger walks over log boom, an as re-
CARDS the market, every city in the world
eats Columbia river salmon. The man was
perfectly satisfied with the explana ion, but
thought "herding" should be stopped by an
act OF the legIs ature. Our reporter could
could not stop to hear any further stories
about salmon, but he is determined ON the
first opportunity to introduce this modern
Maunchasen to Col. Sinnott, of the UmatiIia
House, and says he will stand half the ex-
pense if these men will go to the worlds
