First TO Be Graded

The bids for the improvement Of
South Commercial street have beer

FREE SCHOLARSHIP
PRESS HAS ONE IN THE PEN
DLET0N ACADEMY.
Will Be Given to Some Worthy Boy
or Girl Seeking Advantage
Of Education.

Through the generosity of the board
of trustees of the Pendeton Academy,
the Press is in position to offer free
scholarship III the popular and worthy
educational institution to some bright
and deserving boy or girl of this To-
cality.
The only conditions that the Press
will attach to this free scholarship
is that the one it appoints be worthy
young person, who has completed at
least the seventh grade in the Oregon
course of study, and will graduate
from the academy. The Pendleton
Academy ranks among the leading
schools of the state, among its gradu-
ates being some of the leading men
and brisht women of the Pacific
Coast. In event the graduate desires
to continue in his pursuit of educa-
tion and knowledge, after going
through the academy course, he will
find himself within five years of
graduation from the classical course
of Harvard University, without fur
ther entrance examinations. This can
be said of no other school in Oregon,
east of Portland. Term begins Jan
uary 2, 1906. The board in giving
the scholarship to the Press, writes:
1.-THE dominance of the so called
bread and butter sciences is rapidly
passing. The next decade will de-
mand cultured mind instead of
superficial mechanical training to
carry forward the worlds work. We
desire therefore to attract to Pendleton
Academy some of Oregons best and
brightest young people, with view to
inspiring them with a taste for high
er learning and to induce them as far
as possible to complete college
course.
"Since it is the cultured mind in
stead OF the mechanical training
the man instead of the machine--that
is henceforth to lead the worlds ac-
tiyities whether professional, com
mercial or political, and believing
that our mission toward the young
people of our respective communities
is the same, namely: to aid them in
making the most Of their God d-given
powers, we make the foregoing propo-

PIGwEED FATAL TO CATTLE.
spines on the ssed Pods Pierce the In
testinal walls.


1t is announced at the agricul-
tural college that pigweed, or redroot,
weed very common throughout the
Willamette valley, is under certain
conditions fatal to livestock. particu-
larly cattle. The discovery was made
by Professor Pernot in the bacteria
logical department during the past
few days.
For several years it has been com
mon for the department to receive a
great many pathological specim ems
from cattle that die in the late sum
mer or late fall before the first rains
come. Always in the past the investi-
cation of these specimens has failed
to result in detection of the trouble.
The discovery came from investi-
cation of pathological specimens sent
by the stock inspector of Marion
county from farm near Gervais,
where Ia cattle died within COM
paratively short period. A long study
Of the samples failed to reveal the
trouble. and the case was about to be
given up when the microscope re-
vealed highly inflamed condition in
section OF an intestine. Attention
was then directed to fecal matter con-
tents and myriad Of small seeds
were found, the fecal matter being
literally studded with them.
Professor Lake and Professor Coote
both identified the seeds as amaran-
thus eetroplexus (pigweed). In a
mature state, pod incloses the seed,
and on this pod there are spines or
stlckers. These spines are very sharp
and very minute, generally, and are
mainly composed of silica which rem
ders them insolubIe in the gastric
juices Of the stomach and even pre-
vents them from being softened by
their passage through the various
organs.
Further study of the intestine fin
ally revealed thousands of these
minute and fiinty spines in the mucous
membrane of the intestine, many of
them having pierced the intestinal
wall. A high state of Inflammation
is the consequence, and the animal
dies of acute gastritis.
Cattle will not eat the weed until it
is matured, aud not then il there is
other forage.
