COPPER KILLS GERMS.
Metal said to Possess Great Pow ~
TO Rep.l Disease.

Metal Snid to Possess Great Pow q
To Repel Disease.
Copper Is Il marvellous preventive OF
disease. If we returned to the old
copper drinking vessels Of our fore
fathers. typhoid epidemics would dis
appear. writes a filtration expert in
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Examine n copper cen under the
microscope and you will find it alto
gether free from disease germs. En-
anime gold and silver coins and you
will find them one wriggling and on
torting germ mass. Yet copper coins
pass through dirtier hands than gold
and silver ones. You'd think they'd
be alive with micro organisms. But no.
Copper kills germs. Diphtheria and
cholera cultures smeared on a copper
cent die in less than two hours.
The workers in the Revere copper
works during the last epidemic Of chol-
era in Massachusetts, were immune,
though friends and relatives fell on all
sides Of them. Why were they i'm
mune? The copper, with its strange
power over disease germs, protected
them.
Water alive with cholera and typhoid
germs has been placed for an expert
ment in copper vessels, and after stand
Ing seven hours this water has been
found safe to d~rink-every germ dead.
We should return to copper drinking
vessels. Furthermore. canteens for the
use Of soldiers and sailors In the trop-
les, where cholera abounds, should be
lined with copper, and thus many a
young mans life would be saved.
Copper in the form Of copper sui
phate will kill of typhoid germs in res
ervoirs and great bodies Of water. 1t
has frequently done so without harm
ing the drinking qualities Of the water
In any way.

CONCERNING CANCER.

ours with the same essential charac-
teristics throughout the vertebrate Gre
alton. There is a variety of conflicting
evidence in reference to the influence
of diet on the development OF cancer
However, cancer is comparatively rare
IN hot countries, especially in those
whose inhabitants subsist largely on
vegetable diet. With certain exceptions
it seems to be prevalent where animal
diet Is mostly consumed.
Black races are remarkably immune
from cancer. yellow races are more
prone to it. while the white races are
the most susceptible. 1t occurs when
the tissues are undergoing %retrograde
metamorphosis. Cancer is undoubted-
~ on the increase. The principal in
crease involves the alimentary tract.
There are certain districts called can
Ger BELTS" Such areas are usually low
lying and damp.
Women are attacked by cancer far
earlier and more often than men.
Much recent experimental work points
to the cell as the essential element in
the development Of cancer. The para
site theory is d%iscrcdited by the Har-
ward commission The report of the
imperial cancer research fund destroys
all known theories OF the origin Of can
Ger, but proposes no new theory. Sur

Judge Fitzgerald is one of the pioneer
attorneys of Pendleton, coming to Una
tila County in 1881. He was engaged
IN the active practice of law for twenty
years and Is considered one of the
brightest legal minds at the Pendleton
Bar, and possesses the Judicial tempera-
ment in the highest degree. He is al.
most the unanimous choice of the PEN

reputation for honesty, integrity and
fairness that is unsurpassed. He has
held the position of Referee of Bank

Court for four terms and has tried many
important cases, and has the proud dis
tinction of never having been reversed
upon appeal to the higher courts upon
the decision Of question of law.)

that the high price for wool is not
alone responsible for the high
prices for sheep. Hogs are also
a good price. Hay in Eastern
Oregon is not unusually scarce
aud prices are but little if any
higher than the average, taken
one year with another. 1 n
Malheur county which is one
of the greatest hay producers of
the state, there is an abundance of
hay, but owing to the isolation of
this district and the lack of trans
portation facilities it makes but
little difference, affecting only the
local demand. The bulk of the
hay crop is alfalfa. In some dis
tricts, small in area, however, the
crop was short, but this ls only of
a local nature and would not make
any material impression upon the
cattle market in general. The
greater amount of alfalfa is fed to
beef cattle, but it is not the un-
usual scarcity nor the extremely
high prices that is forcing the cat
tie feeders to abandon feeding.
The real facts are that cattle are
80 low that no profit can be made
in feeding now at moderate price
for hay. The unbalanced condi-
ton of the markets in meats has
not been clearly explained. Popu.
lation is increasing, the country is
prosperous and the consumption
of beef per capita is as great as
ever. There is an increased de-
mand for leather, the ranges are
being contracted by the spproch
of settlers in the West which I'M
doubtedly is diminishing the avail
able supply of cattle, but with all
the conditions that would seem to
have a tendency to force a good
strong cattle market, the market
is weak and prices are low.
The most reasonable explanation
is the fact that the mar ket
5oday is under the influence of
lnjust manipulation which places
heavy burden upon the cattle
growers of the country.

UNBALANCED MAR EFT.

Beef cattle continue low in price
ont of all proportion to the value
of sheep and hogs. The reason
given for this is that hay has be-
come too dear to feed cattle at a
profit in Eastern Oregon and
Idaho, and that this hay is sold
to sheepraisers, who are able to
pay the price in view of the value
of wool. Best steers are quoted
at So 60 to 1885 per 100 pounds,
on foot, while sheep sell at s5 to
So 80, and hogs run as high as
s6.25. Sheep are now being ship
ped into Portland from Montana
in large numbers, as that state has
the only facilities for keeping
wethers fat all winter. There are
lots of sheep in Oregon and Wash
ingtop, but their condition forbids
them being placed on the market.
Besides this the bulk of the sheep
for sale in the state have been
promised to Eastern buyers, who
will take them to the fattening
grounds of Illinois, Minnesota and
Nebraska, after shearing in April.
Hogs will have to be imported
from the east as soon as the
weather becomes settled, according
to live stock dealers, who do not
see any chance of the market be-
ing supplied from the Northwest
points. Hogs would have been
brought on from Omaha before
this but for the danger of billiards
along the route, which would work
havoc on live hogs in stock cars.
Portland Telegram.
The above from the Evening
Telegram, while the condition of
the market is correctly reported,
the reason given for the low price |
of cattle is far from the real cause.
1t is a fact that the stock market
TODAY is out of balance. While
wool is very high, unusually high
prices are being offered for mutton
sheep after shearing, which shows !

ing for the lew clips, sales ofabout
10000 pounds being made at II
q 22c, the clean cost of the wools
being figured at 62 q 64c. The
woods are said to be in good con-
dition, strong and well grown and
intrinsicslly worth fully as much
as they were last year, when many
Of the woods brought 1890. The
prices paid for these wooIs, which
are the earliest of the American
wools to come upon the market,
are fully as high as are justified by
the level of prices ruling at the sea-
board at present; in fact, every
thing considered, they are proper
tionately higher in several cases.
