It La Said TO Be Better Than Cocains
for Treatment Of the
Eyes.

A new anaesthetic has been discov.
cred in West Africa, where an allKaloid
called yohimbine has been prepared
from tree called by the natives yo-
himbehe. The preparation crystallizes
in white, sill-hke needles, easily solu-
bic in alcohol, ether and chloroform,
but imperfectly in water. Its proper
ties have been carefully Investigated
with important results. Usually a chlo-
rine salt of yohimbine is employed
which is. however easily decomposed.
Hypodermic Injection Of yohimbine re-
suits in local anaesthesia, lasting al
most two hours. 1t causes insensibility
of the cornea and the fascia Of the eye
when simply dropped upon the parts.
United States Consul General Guen-
ther, at Frankfort, who reports the
matter to the state department, says
that experiments conducted by Dr.
Magnani, Of Italy, show that yohimbine
may be valuable in chronic diseases
of the eye which require an increased
supply Of blood He prefers it to tropo-
cocaine on account Of the longer an
aesthesia, and to cocaine because it
does not injure the tissues and does
not impede healthy nutrition Of the
cornea; Furthermore, It Is not poison
ous According TO the Medical News,
two American oculists report that they
experimented upon themselves with
yohimhine Of different strength with
favorable results.

 Friday, August II, Water Company NO held a session to vote bonds to raise funds and construct and perfect a canal system for No. 5. It is to be re- to turn down the proposition. The de- feat, however, was so light that it is to be hoped that more satisfactory result may be obtained at some future time. The farmers of the Eastside have up to the present time had the greatest diff culties of any district in the Valley, and financially to improve their system by direct assessment. In view of this fact 1t would be proper to vote bonds and raise money to do tmS work and relieve the farmers of their burden. This would not only relieve the farmers but would bring new money into circulation

Former Elephants.

The great northern elephant perished
as a species in the prime of life. 1t
had lived under most prosperous con-
ditions. Its enemies were few and
comparatively impotent Alone among
other contemporary animals, the saber
toothed tiger occasionally perhaps got
the better of an antagonist which
must have been less sensitive to the
flint tipped arrows Of mere human as
sailants than Ship Surgeon Gulliver

Oregon Climate PrOlongs Inc.

George S. Hines of Portland, assist
ant secretary of the Oregon Historical
Society, has been spending several
days at Hood River. In conversation
with Mr.. Hines at the Glacier office
among the other interesting things he
said that at the last meeting of the
Pioneer Society of Oregon there wer4
1900 members present and that the
average age of this big assemblsge was
66 years and mouth. The age of the
youngest person present was 46 years.
Therefore, In order to strike such a
high average 1t is apparent that some
of the members we're very old. In
deed, Mr.. Hines says that the ages
OF some Of those present ran as high
as 95 years. The society holds It's
meetings on June 10, which is the an.
niversary of the date that the country
now comprising the state Of Oregon
was declared part Of the United States,
which was on Juns Is, 1916, 1t took
from 1918 to 1916 to conclude a treaty
with Great Britain on this matter,
the United States claiming that the
line should be established north oi
where it now is, and England con.
tending that it should be further
south, and finally compromised on The
present line.
