So far as is known the only avail

The best method, of course, in handl-

them with plenty of green feed to

OAK LEAF DIET KILLS
CATTLE IN SOUTHWEST

The stockmen grazing their cattle
on the National Forests in the South
west, especially Ia Colorado and New
Mexico. have suffered serious losses
during the present summer through
the cattle eating oak leaves.
In that section of the country the
season has been unusually dry and
grass extremely scarce. To eke out
the scanty forage supply, the cattle
have browsed heavily on the scrub
oak which covers large portions of
the range. Ordinarily the stock
does not browse much on the oak
and the little they do get, taken
with the other food, is not injurious,
but when, as in the present season,
the oak browse furnishes a large
proportion of the daily food OF the
cattle, the results are serious.
The oak leaves and sprouts contain
large percentage of tannic acid.
The action of this acid on the
stomach is extremely injurious and
the losses have been unusually severe.
The symptoms of the disease are
staring eyes, feverish and blistered
lips and nose. the animal ceases to
Craze or seek for food, standing in one
place for hours at time. The
coat becomes rough and the hair is

PASTOR CLIMBS TO
EAGLE CAP SUMMIT
REV. SAMUEL HARRIS MAKES
JOURNEY TO MOUNTAINS
ALONE FROM THIS CITY.

Rev. Samuel Harris, pastor of the
Enterprise Presbyterian church, with
out companion or guide except his
past experience in mountain climbing
went up Hurricane canyon, Monday,
and Tuesday crossed the saddle and
B. C. basin and made the ascent to
the summit of Elgle Cap, the famed
giant OF the Powder River mountains,
and the highest peak in Eastern
Oregon.
Mr.. Harris returned to Enterprise
Wednesday none the worse of his 40
mile mountain journey and full Of
satisfaction at having scaled the
highest and most noted mountain
peak between the Rockies and Cas-
cades. He also resolved to his salts
faction several disputed points. Mr..
Harris is convinced there are no
glaciers around Eagle Cap. On the
north side is an immense snow bank
and the sun shining on the center of
that gives a gl,ci IT like appearance
to one on top of the mountains
around Wallowa Lake.
Mr.. Harris says Marble Mountain
in Hurricane Canyon is by far the
most beautiful OF all the sights up
the canyon. When the saddle is
crossed and you behold the wonder
full basin of lake,, with their velvety
frame of green, the great snow banks
toppling into their edge. and all
flanked and surrounded by majestic
peaks. the scene IL beautiful beyond
description. Mr.. Harris counted II
lakes and he says each one is a
gem with its own individual beauty
or characteristic.
Mr.. Harris crossed the basin 10 the
foot OF the peak, then turned to the
right lwest) and made the ascent
from that direction. The climb is
not hazardous and not especially
difficult, calling, at the most, for only
plenty Of muscle.
Under a cairn Of stone ON the
very summit. he found pickle
bottle, in which written on cards and
plainly visible through the glass
were these memoranda:

If the foregoing readings are ap-
proximateiy correct, they should set
at rest the old dispute of Eagle Cap S
height. The last reading was made
just six days be ore MIR. Harris was
at the summit.
Rev. Harris /; no novice at noun
tain climbing. He has explored the
loftiest peaks of the Alps and knows
glacier when he meets one. The
unattended trip up the canyon and
ascent of the peak were more OF a
pleasure than hardship to him and
the journey was made all the more
pleasant by kindly hospitality offer
ed by the her1ers at the several
sheep camps he came upon. He did
not see wild animal on the trip.
