that we have the wheel pretty we'll
In motion, and that arrests of vio-
lators OF the oleomargarine and pure
food laws will be made from now on
rapidly, and followed up vigorously in
the courts.
THE willingness of the district at
torney's Office at Philadelphia to as
sist the dairy and food commissioner
IN bringing all persons placed under ar
rest through this department to justice
will aid in carrying on the war against
the bogus butter men very materially.
with this to encourage us we will
60 ahead with all the energy we pos
sess in our efforts to put an absolute
stop to the sale Of bogus butter and
other impure food products and the
sooner the bogus butter men realize
that their game is up the better 1t will
be for them.
THE departments regular force Of
agents has been reinforced at import
ant points by men working in con-
junction with the agents, but who are
not known personally to any Of the
oleomargarine dealers. Through these
men | expect to be able to obtain a
lot OF evidence which it would
otherwise be practically impossible to
obtain-evidence Of sort which will
insure conviction.
1.-THE sale Of bogus butter and other
impure articles of food has got to stop.
We have made gratifying progress so
far, but we intend to do still better.
There is to be no let up on the part Of
this department. either in making ar
rests or in pushing the cases to convic
tion in the courts until every illegal
dealer in oleomargarlne or other adul-
te:atei or impure food products Of any
kind has been compelled to quit busi-
ness"

PROMPT AND ENERGETIC.

Farmer Cope began operations in
different sections of the state as soon
as his commission was made out by
the governor. He called all his sub
Ordinates together and instructed
them as to what he desired them to do.
Spare neither time. effort nor eX-
pense," he said, "and pay particular
attention to the illegal sales of oeo-
margarine and mixed butter, and
overlook no cases where there is adul-
teration Of other food products"
She agents of the commissioner
worked night and day carrying out his
instructions. Evidence was procured
wlluaut delay, and although there had
been many arrests before Farmer
Cope's appointment, he and his assist
ants have broken the record in max
ing arrests in the short time he has
been at the head of the department. A
number of special detectives were en-
gagged, and where it was deemed neces-
sary. through the dealers knowing the
regular inspectors, women were en-
ployed by Farmer Cope to gather sam
pies where dealers were suspected OF
selling oleo under cover
Having procured a mass Of evidence
and had many Of the accused dealers
held for court, Commissioner Cope
went to Philadelphia and had con-
ference with District Attorney Rother-
mel with a view of having the cases
speedily tried and disposed Of at the
next term of court The trouble here
cofore has been that these cases have
not always been tried promptly.

Special Correspondence.)

Harrisburg, July Ex-Governor WILL
am A. Stone has publicly congratu-
aeed Farmer" Cope, whom he recent
y appointed food and dairy commits
Honer, upon the eminent success which
Has followed his efforts in the brief
Jzr!od that he has been at work In his
department.
A marvellous exhibition OF energy.
determination of purpose and practical
methods have been given by Farmer
Sope since he left his Chester county
farm to aid Governor Stone In the en-
iorcemont of the laws against the adul-
:eration Of food and the Illicit sale OF
oleomargarine.
The wisG IN Of the selection OF n
practical farmer and dairyman for this
position has been demonstrated con-
clusively, and the political enemies OF
Governor Stone and the Republican
organization with which he stands
have been disconnected by the aggres-
sive campaign that Farmer Cope has
waged against the violators OF the law
THE GOVERNORS COMPLIMENT.
This is Governor Stones public tri-
ONte 10 Farmer cope.
1.-THE showing made by Dairy and
Food Commissioner Cope since he
took his office is the best evidence
In the world that the illegal sale
OF dleomargarine is to be stopped.
Tho cooperation of the district
attorneys office in Philadelphia,
which Commissioner Cope tells me
he has secured. will enable the
dairy and food departments agents
in that city to begin work with
degree Of certainty as to speedy
trials Cr the cases they bring that
certainly ought to spur them on,
End look for the crusade there to
nave the effect of driving all of the
bogus butter men out of the busi-
ness. The crusade in other parts
1f the, state Is to be conducted on
the saHe vigorous lines by the
state dairy ard food commissioner
as in Philadelphia, and If the il
legal dealers in OleOmargarine fail
to profit by the events Of the past
four or five weeks and quit before
the law reaches them it will be
their own fault. And the law will
reach them speedily, too. Bogus
butter has no place as an article
Of food in Pennsylvania. and the
bogus butter men are being made,
and will continue to be rapidly
made to realize it,"
Now, as to what Farmer Cope has
done. according to the records OF the
dockets Of the committing magistrates
before whom the men arrested for al
legged violations of the laws have been
brought by Farmer Cope and his
agents.

There is large amount OF timber on

Der says he thinks enough lumber can
be had on the land to pay for 1t.
Some gold has been found and some
coal, but l do not know how much OF
either there is. have an application to

There may be millions in all there. But

once. It has been held at $500 per acre.
I now offer 1t at $500 per acre. At this
there is a big bargain in it for some one.
The buildings on the place are worth
most OF this. The lumber as much more.
IT would make one of the finest Stock

cottons and coarse colored goods have

COTTON.
New York, Oct. 11.-Much activity pre-
vailed on the Cotton Exchange today.
The Liverpool advices showed that the
English cotton trade was even more sur
prised by yesterdays bureau report than
was the cotton trade of this country. the
Liverpool decline being twelve to fifteen
and a half of sixtyfourths pence, or the
equivalent of twenty points more than the
decline in the American markets yester-
day. Trading here this morning started
at a decline of from five to fifteen points,
but the market Immediately became very
strong and enormously active, prices adj
vancing fourteen to twenty-five points
from the lowest, the trade being in
nuenced by estimates pointing to a less
heavy movement of the crop for the re-
mainder of the week. also by the fore
casts of cold rains over the bulk of the
cotton belt. an increased demand for
spot cotton in the South for export as
we'll as for home consumption (although
at lower prices) and by more encouraging
news from The cotton goods markets of
this country Later the market became
less active in view of recent tremendous
clcarances with Southern markets finally
showing an inclination to yield. The
trade was nervous up to the very close of
business with the market finally very
