SAVAGE Surgery In Africa.

Queer methods have the savage ma
tive surgeons of Africa. What is the
secret of their success it is not easy
to conceive, but savage doctors effect
cures in spite of the most atrocious
treatment of their patients One Of the
party who was bearing Livingstone's
body to- the coast was shot through the
leg, shattering thigh bone. This Is
how they treated him: First they dug
a pit and buried him in 1t in such a
posture that his head and arms were
free. Then they covered the earth
about his legs with thick layer Of
mud. Upon this were heaped leaves
and grass, to which fire was applied,
directly over the fracture Of the limb.
The heat gradually worked down to
the wound, and the man suffered re-
newed agonies. After awhile he was
taken out and held quite fast while
two giants with all their might stretch
ed the shattered leg. Spllnts were duly
applied, and the man was pronounced
on the way to complete cure. That
was the normal practice successfully
followed for this class Of case.-London

Early Northwest Voyages.

Beginning with the American dis
coveries of John Cabot in 1897, the
search for the Northwest passage was
for many years the object of rival ex-
pedltions from Denmark, England,
France and Portugal. II was Fro

gave a distinct national character to
the quest John Davis, of Davis strait,
followed In three voyages, 1858, and
then, In 1912, came the illustrious and
hapless Henry Hudson, whose motto
was that explorers should "achieve
what they had undertaken or else give
reasons wherefore 1t will not be-" The
search from the Atlantic side closed
for two centuries with the voyage of
a great seaman, william Baffin, who,

miserable equipment, but an undaunt-

NO SENSATION AT BOISE.
"yellow" Writers Leaving Idaho's
Capital I'm Disgust.

Already several Of the newspaper
writer's who came to Boise to report
the Haywood trial proceedings are
planning to return to their homes,
says the Boise Statesman.
They say that the excitement they
expected to find in Boise is not to
be found. The news bureaus are
fully covering the proceedings and
there are no sensational features to
write about. The first one to reach
this conclusion was Mr. Gray Of the
Minneapolis Journal. He stated last
evening that he would start for
home today Several others have
wired home for instructions and it
is likely they will start back within
short time.
One other writer, J. w. Carberry
Of the Boston Globe, arrived yester-
day. He was surprised to find no
armed troops patrolling the streets
and no artillery in front of the state
house. He came prepared to find
the city under martial law He was
greatly disappointed. The 10000
word story he expected to wire his
paper yesterday turned out to be a
10-word bulletin to the effect he had
arrived and was about to take nap.

While many Oregon counties are
securing increased taxes from TIM
ber land, Umatilla and other eastern
Oregon counties are not enjoying in
creased revenues from this source.
The Oregon City Star reviews this
subject as follows
Assessor Nelson will double the
assessment on timber back in the
mountains this year, raising 1t from
s6 to $12. Timber on the lowlands
in this county is assessed as high as
s25 to $40 an acre.
Many counties in the state are en-
ploying cruisers to secure data or
which to base the assessments of
timber. There is no doubt that a
reliable cruise does much to equalize
the burdens of taxation, and the ex-
perience of many counties is that the
extra taxes received the first year
pays the cost of cruising and leaves
good margin over.
Polk county court has just hired
two men to cruise the timber for as
sessment purposes.
Washington county has five eX-
perienced cruisers in the field, and
the court expects to have an esti-
mate of all timber by June Is, so as
to have it placed on this years as
sessment roll.
Clatsop county had her timber
cruised two years ago, and the as
SCISSOR of that county Is authority for
| the statement that the county had
more. than enough to pay for the
cruise the first year from the in
creased valuations on timber.
Benton county court has the sub
iect under consideration, as has also
the court of Linn county.
Yamhill opened bids last week for
estimating the amount ow timber
between McMinnville and the Tilla-
nook county line. Timber in Yam
Hill was assessed at only IS to $40
an acre, but was raised last year to
s25 an acre.
The Lane county court purchased
the estimates of four former cruis-
ers on 1347 sections of timber land
and will make their assessment ac-
cordlng to these figures. Values will
make their assessment according to
these figures. Values will be raised
to about 81 an acre on the better
class of timber. Previous to thi:
year nothing was known of the ac-
tual worth of the timber lands, and
good, bad and Indifferent were as
sessed at SO an acre.

This land, locally known as "The
Marley Burn" was once remarkable
for its great growth of sage brush.
Many years ago, however, a rancher
named Marley. wishing to make a
clearing, set fire to this brush, but
50 thick was the growth, and such a
furious blaze did 1t make, that Mar
lev could not control the flames. Not
until 10000 acres of the land was
burned over did the fire die out.
This fire, however, is a financial
benefit to the settler, for 1t leaves
the ground in shape for plowing with
a two-horse plow instead of having
to grub out enormous sage brush
roots. and saves at least IS an acre
in the cost of clearing.
The water right of the company
will be unexcelled by any in the west.
The great reservoir, contour maps of
which are on file with the state en-
gineer, has a capacity Of over 200,-
coo acre feet, or water enough to
supply all the land without calling
on the flood waters. In practice, the
reservoir will not need to be drawn
upon till July 1st, as the river unaid-
ed up to that time will more than
supply all the lands.-Boise States
