Modern methods of sterilization and
pasteurization of milk were condemned
recently by DR.. c. G. Carroll, Of
New York City, in an address before
the Medico-Legal Society. AS sub
stitute he suggested the polarizing Of
milk by an alternating current of cleo
tricity, maintaining that the current
completely destroys all the bacteria in
milk, including those which form lac
teal acid. Pasteurization and steriliza-
ton, he declared not only fails to ac-
complish it's purpose, but destroys the
nourishing properties in the milk.

Home Rule Mule.

Nettie Austin has visited Govern
or Hadley and has lined him up
straight. Here is a portion of her
opinion of him: He has scared
around and about and settled down
on the pinnacle of four-flushing."
He made his campaign on a Home
Rule Mule and with the assistance
of Open House Democrats landed
in the State White House" And
now, it is all different, He has
hitched the Home Rule Mule on
the outside of the executive fence
right in front of a sign, No Admit
lance. The mule was all right to
carry him to the mansion, but, etc,
etc"
One nasty word describes Mr.
Hadley's deals. And that word is

Muskegon, Mich, May "a At all
the six Holland-American churches
in this city, where there is a large
population of former Hollanders, it
was announced by the ministers
yesterday that they have made an
agreement not to officiate at any
weddings unless a pledge is made
that there will be no liquor served
either during or after the ceremony.
The combined action of the minis
tiers follows several scandals which
have grown out of drinking at the
weddings here.
The ministers further announced
that men affiliated with clubs which
serve beer on Sunday will be cut
off from the church unless they
cancel their membership.

IN STEINHEIL CASE
SUDDENLY CHANGES ATTITUDE

. Paris, Nov. "a remarkable change
In the demeanor of Judge DeValles,
in the Nine. Steinhail trial today is
creating sensation. Today the mag
istrate carefully weighed every ques-
ton and propounded them in modu-
lated tone. Nine Steinheil is today
showing sings of collapslng under the
strain. No evidence of importance
was introduced today.
From the arrogant self confident in
quisitor of few days ago DeValles now
appears nervous and apparently wish
es the trial over. To close observer
the judge seems fearful that something
will soon be made public which he
does not want known. When he re-
fers to Nine. Steinheil he now speaks
with respectability, and does not char
acterize her as that woman who con-
tracted the habit of lying when she
was five years old. and has never been
able to rid herself OF It,"

MENTAL ASSASSINATION.
Latest Charge to Be Trumped Up BY
Christian Scientist.

New York. Nov. 1O.-"Mental as
sassination" is charged today against
Mrs. Augusta Stetson. the deposed
Christian Scientist, in report made
to the mother church at Boston by
Mrs. Maud Kissam Babcock, a for
mer student. Mrs. Babcock makes
the allegation that Mrs. Stetson at
tempted to mentally murder" her
by a system similar to the so-called
'iabsent treatment" Ehe describes
a mental attack by saying she was at
her home in Cedarhurst asleep in a
perfectly normal state when she sud-
denly began to freeze. She said: my
heart fluttered and luminous waves
rolled toward me covered with the
faces of dead people. Mrs. Stetson's
blue eyes were all around the room
and it seemed my soul went out of my
body"
Mrs. Babcock says she staggered to
the bathtub and took a hot plunge
but couldn't feel the water.

so that the sheep and wool industry
that has been so safe and profitable
in the past may continue to be safe
and profitable in the future"
The speaker urged the breeding up
of the sheep so as to get heavier
shearlng sheep and also better NUT
ton animals. He said the opening of
the packing plant in Portland was
sure to create a better demand for
mutton than had existed in the past.
He also called upon the sheepmen
present to conserve their blue grass
and to do this he urged the growing
of more hay and the feeding of plen-
ty of this hay during the winter,
holding that the investment in hay
would be found to be a profitable
one.
In conclusion he said: you have
accomplished a great deal through
your organization; scab has been
eradicated from your flocks; only a
few cases of sheep shooting have
occurred during the past few years;
and through your organization you
have become power in this great
commonwealth of ours and as long
as there is a sheepman in eastern
Oregon, as long as there is a sheep
roaming these hills of ours, you will
find your brother, the banker, ready
to loan you money in the fall and
glad to get it back again in the
spring"

RELATION Of BANKS
TO SHEEP INDUSTRY
HON. T. j. MAHONEY
ADDRESSES WOOLGROWERS
Shows How Indispensable Big Bank
ing Concerns are to Promoting of
MISUNDERSTANDING of Conditions
Means Money TO Both.

'The interests of the sheepmen
and the bankers are so closely allied
in eastern Oregon that any laws, con-
ditions or improvements beneficial to
the sheepmen is beneficial to the
banker and the alternate is also true;
as conditions or circumstances aris-
ing tha are detrimental to the sheep
man are also detrimental to the
banker" said T. ]. Mahoney, joint
representative from Umatilla and
Morrow counties in addressing the
annual convention of woolgrowers in
this city yesterday. Continuing he
said: 80
$50 mutual are their relations that
every banker in the sheep country
plans and dreams of the day when he
can lay aside the arduous cares and
duties of banking, go into the sheep
business and take a well-earned rest.
He knows of course that it is a snap
to run a few bands of sheep COM
pared to running a bank. I am not
in a position to know, but 1 have
heard it said that a sheepman feels
a good deal the same way about run
ming a bank"
Referring to the Importance of the
sheep and wool industry, he said:
"There are in Oregon 100000
head of sheep representing an in
vestment of s12,OOO,OOO, and an an
nual income to the state of $1,000
900. The money invested in land,
and the equipment necessary to car
ry on the industry it is practically
impossible to estimate, but it runs
into the millions Of dollars. To fl
nance this great industry requires the
assistance Of the strong country
banks scattered all over eastern Ore
gon, and it is to the interest of the
sheepman as well as the banker, to
continue the business under condi-
tions that are rapidly changing and
becoming more and more expensive

Communication From Williamson.
In communication from ex-Con-

pressed his regret at not being able to
attend the meeting and in the course
of his communication declared that
the policy of the government in the
control and government of the forest
reserve tended to socialism. He said
the effort of the government to equal
ize the flocks, to make the number
of sheep owned by all flockmasters
equal was entirely socialistic.
