POISONOUS CAMAS
STATE SHEEP INSPECTOR
RECOMMENDS ANTIDOTE
DIR. w. ii. Lytle Returns from NAL
hcur Bringing Samples of Root That
Causes Havoc Among Flocks-
Grows Only in High Altitudes-Can-
not be Effectively Checked and Has
tions of Range.

Returning from Malheur county,
Dr. w. II. Lytle, state sheep inspec-
tor, brought with him several speci-
mems of the poisonous camas root
that has been raising havoc among
Malheur county sheep. The weed is
very similar in form to an onion. but
ii has a wellowish hue. 1t grows in
high attitudes, never being found at
. height of less than 1000 feet and it
has been spreading to a considerable
extent in Malheur county
According to DR.. Lytle, it is i'm
possible to make any effective fight
against the weed, but there is an an
tidote which he has advised stockmen
to use in cases where sheep, cattle or
horses have been poisoned by eating
camas. For sheep the antidote con-
sists of from five to seven grains Of
potassium permangenate dissolved in
four ounces of water.
In certain section of Wyoming the
poison camas has become so prevalent
that sheepraisers have ben fol ced to
abandon the ranges of that particular
section.

Willie Lamere Drowned.

Willie Lamere, aged II years, was
drowned Thursday afternoon, while
swimming in the Passumpsic river near
Hooker's Island In company with four
playmates he had been romping in the
shallow water near the pavilion, when
he undertook to swim to the point on
the opposite shore. The strong current
carried him downstream and he soon be-
came exhausted and sank Seeing his
plight his companions started at once
for help but it was too late and before
they returned he had gone down for the
last time. Boats were at once procured
and willing hands manned them in a
systematic dragging of the river bottom.
while hundreds of people lined the shores
from the Summerville bridge TO the scene
of the fatality. The search was kept up
till late hour Thursday night by the
use of search-lights but was finally
abandoned until morning, when daylight
revealed the body on the bottom of the
stream, not far from where he was seen
to sink.
Willie was the adopted son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Eugene Lamere of Pearl street. He
was a very bright little chap, an apt
student in the Parochial school and a
general favorite, both at home and with
his schoolmates, and much sympathy is
expressed for his foster parents in their
bereavement. The funeral was held at
Notre Dame church Saturday and the
burial was in Mount Calvary cemetery.
