The Beef From Abroad

What is the trouble IN the cat
tie market? Persons at all fami-
liar with the situation have felt
all winter that a material ad-
vance would be had by spring
if marketable supplies were as
limited IS conditions seemed to
indicate. Kansas City's loss in
cattle receipts this year amounts
to little more than a, 900 head
per week, certainly a consider
able loss considering the small
ness of the supply last year. At
the five leading Western markets
the loss is around IA, 900 per week
or at the rate of three-quarters
of a million per year. Prices of
fair to prime beeves at Kansas
City one year ago were partical-
Iy the same as at the present,
running from about $7.25 to SO.
On paper a loss of $4,000 head
week looks formidable enough
to put considerable strength in
in the market situation, aud yet
everybody who has watched the
market the past few weeks is
aware that the present values
have been maintained with con-
siderable difficulty.
What is the trouble? Isn't a
weekly shortage of IA, 900 head
sufficient to overcome all weak
ness and start prices upward
Is beef so high today that pack
ers fear to advance the price of
cattle further? Would the con-
suming public eat beef at all if
it were any higher?
The time has arrived, thanks
to the American congress, when
domestic conditions do not con-
troll the situation. Due to the
removal of the tariff on live stock
and it's products there arrived
from Argentine last week the
equivalent of Is, 900 cattle, some
of which sold in New York at
nine cents a pound. Thus the
shortage at home is being made
up in the imports from abroad.
Two carloads of the beef from
South America went into Arm
ours coolers in Chicago the other
day, as an experiment. Vast
quantities are now afioat for this
country and the competition has
begun.
Has the consumer of the beet

reaped any benefit from the re-
moval of the tariff? Not up to
the present time, the American
grower, who because of the short
age at home should now be re-
ceiving more lucrative prices, is
in luck to get the old figure.
Who then, is benefiting by the
abrogated tariff duties? Not the
grower, not the consumer, but
the importer.

to introduce his methods.

How quickly such cure can be eff
fected is best shown in the case of
Mrs. IL. E. Smith of this city, living
at G19 Washington Street. On last
Saturday night she was taken down
with lumbago. All day Sunday she
had to stay in bed with the most ex-
cruiating pain on the slightest move
ment. All household remedies failed.
On Monday morning she applied fol
help to DR.. Toel who has his office
in her building. He gave her an cleo
trio treatment and stopped the pain.
On Tuesday he gave her a second
treatment with the result that on
Wednesday morning the doctor found
her at the wash tub. She was quick
ly ordered however to stop this as DR..
Toel did not want to risk a relapse.
He gave her another treatment and
yesterday Thursday Mrs. Smith at
tended to her household work as usual
entirely free from any pain.
When it is well known that in
many cases of lumbago the pain, un-
der medical treatment, continues for
several weeks, the immediate result
of DR.. Toel's electric treatment is
surely remarkable

Electrical Operation
for
RECTAL GROWTH
Performed in Dallas by
DIR. TOEL
This Week.

Mr.. Miles Davis, former resident
of Dallas, now living at Summit,
Benton County, 36 miles from Dallas,
brought his wife last week to Dallas
to be examined by DIR. Toel.
Mrs. Davis had for many years
been suffering from piles and fstula
and uterine disease, causing nervous
trouble along her spine. She was
operated upon nine months ago, with
the knife and as DR.. Toel found
when examining her, the operation
had been skilfully performed. But
about three months ago she began
to lose blood from the rectum and
to have pains in her spine. DIR. Toel
found a small hard growth. He per-
formed an electrical operation on
Sunday, destroying this growth and
there has been no loss of blood since.
Mrs. Davis will stay in Dallas for a
couple of weeks TO be treated elee-
trically for her nervous spinal trou-
Bile.

rent on June 9th, after he had read
that June 10th would be the last day
on which new patients would be ac-
cepted. Today after four daily treat
ments many Of the pustules have
shrunk down and those now coming
out have been arrested in their pro-
gress so that there is a marked i'm
provement after even this short time.
Acne is a disease of young people
of both sexes and often causes terri
BILE Disagreement Of the face.
Dr. Toel few days ago saw a
young lady on the streets OF Dallas
whose face was completely covered
with acne pustules. 1t is inconceiva-
BILE to him why lady so disfigured
does not seek the help of a specialist
who could in short time improve
her looks wonderfully and cure her
of a very distressing disease.
On account of a number of new pa
tients having come under DR.. Toel's
treatment since his announcement Of
June 10th as the last day for new
patients, he is compelled to stay
onger yet in Dallas. See his three
column card in this paper.

Mrs. Sarah ID. Dodson, of Sheridan
came to Dallas last Tuesday to con
suit DR.. Toel on account of a cancer
on her nose. Mrs. Dodson, who is
83 years of age, is one of the Oldest
settlers in Polk County, having cross
ed the plains to Oregon more than 80
years ago, from East Tennessee.
A number of years ago a cancer
formed on the tip Of her nose. She
had it eaten out with a plaster which
left two holes in her nose. About two
years ago another cancer formed just
above the sears where the first one
had been eaten out.
Mrs. Dodson remembered the eX-
cruiating pain the eating plaster had
caused her for two weeks until the
cancer came way as hard lump.
She did not care to undergo such a
slow and painful treatment again.
Last Monday, however, she read in a
Dallas paper about DR.. Toel's elec-
tIic operation for cancer and she
came to Dallas on the morning train
on Tuesday determined to have her
cancer removed by DR.. Toel. The OPP
Grafton was performed in the after
noon and, to Mrs. Dodson's great as
tonishment, lasted only few min
utes. The cancer was entirely de-
stroyed without any loss of blood and
very little pain. Mrs. Dodson re-
CARDS the electric operation for can
Ger as a wonderful improvement over
the slow and extremely painful eat
ing out with a plaster.
After visiting a number of her old
friends in Dallas, Mrs. Dodson, who
had remained over night with Mrs.
Frink, returned to Sheridan on We'd
nesday afternoon.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1914-04-17

Hence the success of DR.. Toell Is
treatment. Compare to this the ac-
ton of several old men of Dallas
who made arrangements with DIR.
Toel to be operated upon or treated
for piles, fstula, enlargement of the
prostate gland, etc., and after being
examined were scared out of their
intention of being treated by friends
or other meddlesome persons, who
persuaded them that they were too
old to be operated upon or could not
be helped, could not stand the OPP
GRAFTON and more of such nonsense.
DR.. Toel has successfully operated
with electricity upon lady 81 years
old and had a perfect success. Elec-
trical operations are not like knife
operations, with the loss of blood,
surgical shock, danger Of blood pois-
oning, necessity of ether or chloro-
form. They are in class by them
selves, just as the expert electro
of many years experience is
in class by itself.
DR.. Toel has had 80 years expert
ence in electro-surgery and electro
therapy. The mere possession of
apparatus does not make a
successful electro-surgeon or electro
therapist. Any man can buy them,
but, it takes long years of expert
ence to use them successfully.

to introduce His Electric Methods.

Mrs. Sarah A. Dodson, of Sheri-
dan, Ore, came to Dallas yesterday
at the request of DIR. Toel who want
ed to convince himself that his OPP
Grafton for cancer had been a per-
feet success. As he intended to leave
Dallas soon he wanted to make sure
of this for he is always willing to
perform a social operation without
any charges whatever if cancer
should have returned at the place
from which he removed it. Mrs. Dod-
son on April Dist read in a Dallas
newspaper about DIR. Toel and his
electric operations for cancer. She
did not want to see "HOw somebody
else would get along" but she was
at DIR. Toel's office, GIG Washington
Street, Dallas, Oregon, the next MORN
ing, as soon as her train had brought
her in. She consulted DIR. Toel, ask
ed for his price for an examination,
paid it, was examined, asked for the
price of the operation, paid it and
was operated upon, all in the short
time Of about one-half hour, and to-
day her nose is entirely free from the
cancer. in fact has been healed up
for more than month already,
while the operation was entirely
blOodless and caused scarcely any
pain.
Mrs. Dodson is a business woman
and acted on business principles.

IN THE YEAR IS43
Clippings from the Recollections of
Boyhood, Book Recently Written
by Jessie Applegate, Polk County's
Earliest Settler.

The Observer has received permis-
sion to reprint several extracts from
Jessie Applegate's book that we
think will interest the early as well
as the new settlers of Polk County.
We will print some of these interest
ing parts each week for q while. Mr..
Applegate in 1843 with several hun
dred others started to take half
year journey from the Missouri river
to the Pacific Coast, travelling through
unknown country and trackless plains.
The book tells of the hardships en-
dured and their safe arrival at the
Willamette River. He says our fam
lies took southerly course between
the hills and Salt Creek Valley, then
west through a gap in the hills and
kindled our last camp fire on the
bank of branch of Salt Creek. This
was the beginning of the first road in
Polk County. 1t was difficult to break
road through the prairie on account
of the high grass. Wild game was
plenty and we soon had carcas of a
deer and bear hanging on the trees.
No other camp scene of pioneer days
has ever impressed my mind as the
first night in our new home.
The native population in our neigh
borhood was tribe of the Kalapooya
and near and far, even to the sea,
were the Tillamook, Tawalatin,
Chemeketa, and Luckyuke tilikum, all
seeming to be one tribe and speaking
the same language. They were a de-
generate and priest-ridden people, but
their language was remarkably smooth
and musical. 1t was a custom of
these Indians, late in the autumn, af-
ter the wild wheat, Lamoro sappolil,
was fairly ripe, to burn off the whole
country. The grass would burn away
and leave the sappolil standing, with
the pods well dried and bursting.
Then the squaws, both young and old
would go with their baskets and bats
and gather in the grain. The lamoro
sappolil we now know as tar-weed.
1t is probable we did not yet know
that the Indians were wont to bap-
tise the whole country with fire at
the close of every summer; but very
soon we were to learn our first les
son. This season the fire was start |
ed somewhere on the south Yamhill, |
and came sweeping up through the
Salt Creek gap. The sea breeze be-
ing quite strong that evening, the
flames leaped over the creek and came
down upon us like an army with ban
ners. All our skill and perseverance
were required TO save our camp. The
flames swept by on both sides of the
grove; then quickly closing ranks,
made a clean sweep of all the eoun-
Try south and east of us. As the
shades of night deepened, long lines
Of flame and smoke could be seen
before the breeze across
he hills and valleys. The Indians
continued to burn the grass every
eason, until the country was some
