OREGON'S
DRUG
INDUSTRY
Shipments of Chittem Bark
From This State IncreaS.
ing Annually

That the gathering of Cascara bark
is becoming one of the important in
d~ustries of Oregon is shown by the
increased annual shipments of this
drug from this state. The following
article on the subject will be found
not only interesting but full of infor-
nation.
During the year 1908 there were
shipped from Oregon to eastern cities,
London and German ports, in the
neighborhood of 90 carloads of cas-.
cara bark, which product is the most
valuable addition to materia medica.
These shipments represented a grand
total of about 500 tons, which were
produced in the valleys of the viii.
lamette and Columbia rivers and
turned into the markets of the world.
In May last, which marked the early
part of the season, the purchasing
price averaged about 4 cents a pound.
Subsequently the market gradually
strengthened to 5 cents, and by the
latter part Of August it reached the
IL cent mark. Early in September
the price advanced to IA cents and in
some cases, where extra care had been
taken in curing choice lots, the price
Of even 10 cents per pound was
reached.
After that the price began gradually
to lessen, so that at the close of the
season it was half way down the
scale. Many tons brought from 4 to
5 cents a pound, though the larger
portion was sold for a price some.
where between 10 to Is cents per
pound. A fair average of the entire
crop can be placed at 10 cents per
pound, representing the truly amazing
value of about 100000. While part
Of this amount was divided among
the dealers, or middlemen, by far the
major portion of this sum went into
the pockets of the farmers and the
laboring men. This was practically
without the outlay of capital. In
many cases the gathering of the bark
was accomplished by families-men.
women and children engaging together
in the work. The peeling Of this
valued bark in most cares was from

NAT GOODWIN
SAD
Says ShakeSpearean Revival
Is ClaSSed as Failure
Though Financial
Success

Chicago, April 18.-Nat c. Goodwin
evidently has not found that "life Ii
ever so pleasant on the stage" thit
season. More in sorrow than in an
ger he writes thus from a small town
near Chicago:
When an actor is forced to aban
don cities and play a series Of one
night stands the result is most de.
pressing, no matter what the financial
reward may be, but when the depres.
sion is coupled with the readings OF
ones failures repeatedly printed in
the little puny editions of those little
places life becomes a burden. Every.
where | play | read Of my gigantic
failures in The Merchant of Venice
and Midsummer Nights Dream,
when, as a matter of fact, they were
both huge successes, both financially
and artistically, not from the point of
view Of the gentle critic, but from the
box office standard and the verdict OF
the public.
My Merchant of Venice netted the
largest receipts in the history Of the
stage at the prices. One week brought
over 100000 for eight performances,
and the highest price was 81. And
this production goes down TO history
as a failure. All, me! What a pity
1t is TO be born in ones own country.
and, worse, to be forced TO play in 1t

destroy Rembrandt with a whitewash
brush"

land which was afterwards cleared
Tor the purpose of agriculture.
OF the crop of 1903 Benton and
Lincoln counties furnished the larger
share, their output being conservat.
lively estimated at nearly 800 tons.
and valued at 100000; while it is
probable that, as Corvallis was a pur,
chasing center, it drew to a certain
extent from the adjoining counties.
Polk and Linn couties were good
producers, and next in line came
Marion, Yamhill and Washington
counties. A considerable portion was
added by Multnomah and Clackamas
counties to the annual output. while
the tidelands of Clatsop aided in
swelling the amount of the product.
In the commercial world this bark
is known as cascara, simply, but in
materia medica it is designated as
rhamnus purshiana,o or cascara sagrada
In common parlance 1t is often denomi,
mated os chittim bark, and is some.
tunes called bearberry. Up to a few
years ago the bark was but little
known, and was only used in patent
nostrums as an ingredient for cathar-
tic purposes. Now it is extensively
used by physicians as a tonic. lax.

nation with certain aromatics. II is
to be found in every pharmacy. Phar-
macopoeias mention cascara as being
found extensively in northern Califor.
MIA, although it is largely to be found
in Oregon and Washington.
The demand for this medicinal pro-
duct has enabled the small farmer.
homesteader and videawake working
mar to clear no inconsiderable sums
of money. There are many instances
wher laborers have contracted to
slash land for the cascara bark they
might secure, thereby gaining an
abundant profit. Others for the insig-
nifcant sums of from $50 to $50 have
secured privileges in cutting that
have netted them a return of more
than $1,000. Mortgages on small
farms have been paid through this
agency and hundreds of women and
children have easily earned during
the summer months a sufficient sum
to tide them through the rainy season
in Oregon. Small farms on the river
bottoms and homesteads in the valleys
and canyons of the Coast range have
already and will yet produce more
money in cascara bark than the r
critics producing it could be sold for.
These statements may seem exag.
geratej, but they can be fully verified
by the leading men of the counties
mentioned. Oregon and Washington
are the only states in which cascara
bark is produced in such prolific
quantities. Unless some means are
taken for the protection of the smaller

mot care to take the contract. His
