YES, BUT THE BAKERS DON'T
HAVE ANY PULL.
(portInnd Advartiser
portland Advertiser. !

There is probably no truth in the ru-
NOR that the following bill, or ops very
like it in terms. is to tie introduced in
tine legislature:
Section 1,-Corporations for the purpose
of making, selling, distributing and sup
plying bread, cake, riss and all forms of
food usually prepared and supplied by
the baker, in any city or town, or two
or more adjoining cities or towns, within
the state, or for either sor any OF such
purposes, may be organized under the sx-
listing provisions of law. But no corpora
tion organized here under, sh all have
authority, without special act Of legisa-
ture, to make, sell, distribute or supply
bakers stuff for any purpose, in or to
any city or town, in or to which another
company, person OF firm, ars making,
selling, distributing or supplying Or are
authorized to make, SELL distribute or
supply bakers stuff, without the consent
of such other company, person Or firm.
The report is probably canard. Yet
If the legislature is to grant and guard
monopoly in the business of supplying
light and mechanical power, why should
1t not also limit competition in the bak-
ing business the canning business or any
other branch of manufacturing or mer-
camille enterprise? That Is the question.
Why should one kind of corporation be
any more entitled to protection than an
other? The alleged bill appears to be
quite as Just and reasonable as some of
the exciting statuatoIy law.

INDIAN WISDOM.
Their knowledge Of the Cura-
tive Properties Of Herbs
considered remarkable.
A noted Professor, DR.. G. Won Spiegel Of
Saratoga, N. y, credits them with
many remedies used by him in effect
ing difficult cures.
Useful hints to many who suffer, where
they might enjoy the Indians pro-
verbal good health and longevity but
for the prejudice Of Ignorance.

The once existing idea that no possible
good or knowledge could be obtained from
IN Indian is fast disappearing.
When such man as DR.. G. Won Spiegel
of Saratoga Springs, in an article published
in the daily Saratogian of Sept. IA, states
that he is indebted, not only to the North
Arapahoes, Pawnees, Apaches, Kiowas, Com
anches, ETC., but to the many SO called uncivil-
lied nations Of the most remote corners OF
the globe for his enormous collection and
the knowledge of their virtues, OF roots, herbs,
banks, gums and balsams, by whose use ne
has effected the most extraordinary cures IN
innumerable desperate cases, it would seem
that the world at large should no longer
hesitate to look for help from such simple
but potent agencies no matter their origin
Instead of dragging out miserable lives OF
sickness that is aggravated by poisonous
mineral drugs.

it makes counter proposition, some
