osTEoPATHY IN PNEUMONIA.

Said one of Chicago's most emil
nent physicians last winter; mot a
medicine is known that will do one
particle of good in pneumonia and
the sooner we resume the search for
one. the better for ourselves and the
peonIe" But he must add: failure
must always meet the research for
a medicine, for the cause lies beyond
medicine. Medical textbooks say the
state in pneumonia is filling of the
lung tissue with blood and serum
which has exuded from the weaken
cd and delicate blood vessels. The
osteopath goes further and finds that
these blood vessels are weakened by
a loss of nerve force which is cut off
by pressure on the vaso-motor nerves
to the lungs. The cure depends on
the removal of this pressure. Thus
II is seen why medicine must fail.
The osteopath finds this pressure to
be from slightly displaced vertebrae
and ribs. Correct these and the cure
speedily follows, as was demonstrat-
ed the past week in our city on
case which the medical doctor gave
up and the Osteopath cured. For
particulars, call on Drs. Hoisington'
Despair block, Pendleton.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAKES A REPORT

order of the director of the United
States geological survey. or in cash
the exact amount. Checks, foreign
coin, and postage stamps cannot be
accepted.
Ever since its organization in 1879,
the United States geological survey
has been engaged In making a topo-
graphic survey and map of the United
States. The unit of survey is a quad
rangle 15 seconds, 80 seconds, or 1
degree in extent each way, covering
an area of one-sixteenth, one-fourth,
or one square degree"
The unit of publication is an atlas
sheet Is 1-2 by 20 inches, and each
sheet is Topographic map OF one of
the above areas. The scale of the full
degree sheet is 1:2500O0, that of the
80 second sheet is 1:25000, and that
of the 10 second sheet is 1:62500. A
sheet is designated by the name of
some we'll known place or feature ap-
pearing on It, and the names of ad-
Joining published sheets are printed
on the margins.
The maps are engraved on copper
and printed from stone, in three col
ors. The cultural features, such as
roads, railroads, cities, towns, etc, as
we'll as all lettering, are In black, al
water features are printed in blue
while the hill features are shown by
brown contour lines.
The contour interval varies will
the scale Of the map and the RELIEF o
the country. Maps of limited area
economically important are some
times published which are not In con
formity with the general scheme out
lined above; these are called specia
maps.
Persons who wish to know VIVA
portions of certain districts haV
been mapped should ask for an inde
circular of the region In which the
are interested. It will be furnishe
them, free of charge, on request A
correspondence should be addresse
: to The Director, United States Gee
. logical Survey, Washington, d. c.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-02-13

The Topographic maps OF the Unit
ed States geological survey have
gained wide popularity in the last
nine years. Whereas only S6,974 maps
were distributed in 1895, there were
501,775 maps sent out in 1904. These
were distributed as follows: Through
retail sale, 47,s06; through whole
sale sale, 2s3,65S; to libraries and in
stitutions, 1919; for official use,
57,117.
Although the retail price of each
map is only five cents and the whole
sale price but two cents, the consid-
cradle sum of sS,s7e.36 was received
for maps. This merely defrays the
cost of the press work and does not
pay for the paper on which the maps
are printed or for the expense of dis
tributing them.
The total amount received for pub
lications of all kinds in 1904 was t12.-
222.21 as compared with s2,1S0.65 in
1895, Notwithstanding the fact that
many publications that were sold In
1895 are now distributed free.
1t is only since the passage of an
act of congress on February 1S, 1887
that the maps have been disposed OF
by sale. They are sold at the rate OF
five cents a sheet of standard size.
When 100 or more standard topo'
graphic atlas sheets, or their equiva'
lent in value in other maps, are or
dered, discount of so per cent will
be made from the retail price; tha
is, 100 standard topographic atlai
sheets will cost 81. The order ma,
be given for that many copies OF ont
sheet only, or for that many differen
sheets, and unless otherwise stated
this discount will also apply to spe
cial, general and combined maps
which may be included in the order
or the larger maps only may be or
dered; but in no case can orders b
filled at the wholesale rate unles
the sum remitted solely for topo
graphic maps amounts to at least ;;
Prepayment is required and may b
made by money order payable to tn
