full Authorization.

The Secretary of Agriculture recently
wrote to the Commissioners calling at
tention to the remainder of samples or
food stuffs sent to the department for in
spection and test, and asking whether the
officials Of the department could sell the
same at public auction without an auc-
tioneer's license. Among these samples are
a number of bottles of wines, oils and other
liquors. AS the liquors We're included IN
the stuff which the department wishes TO
sell, the request was referred to the excise
board. Acting Chairman Griffith of this
body has reported to the Commissioners
that under the act of Congress. known as
the excise law, authority is given an auc-
tioneer duly licensed to sell Intoxicating
liquors. The board has no right to grant
permission for the sale of liquors under any
circumstances without license. Secretary

row, who was chief counsel for the
miners in the recent arbitration grow
ing out of the strike in the anthracite
coal fields, delivered an address to
the Henry George Association here
today on the "Perils of Trades I'm
ionism." The general tone of his talk
was that labor unions do not under
stand the principles upon which they
are founded and along which they
must work if they are to continue in
existence" He said in part:
men catch trade unionism, specu-
lation, combination, as they catch the
measles or the mumps. Capital has
caught the fever of combination until
it has gone mad over corporations and
trusts. Likewise, labor has caught
the fever of trade unionism and with
out knowing what it means or real
izing how it may be of real service to
the world, has turned it's power and
energy in the direction of building up
organizations.
Unless this force is turned to po-
litical power or substantial methods
for bettering industrial conditions then
all this great movement must be for
naught."

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
COPPER NEAR RosEBURd.
Rich Veins of Ore Reported by prospec.
tors in Collier Creek Country.

|. Frank Reed arrived in Roseburg a
few days ago from the Collier Greek
country, in Curry county, where he
and other members of his party have
made a discovery of very rich cop
per ledge or deposit, on which they
have located 16 mining claims. The
deposit has been traced a distance of
over mile and half, and surface in
dications show wide vein. No as
says have as yet been made on the
discovery, but iL is generally believed
that this new find will prove the rich
est yet discovered.
The ledge is about 18 miles south
of Rogue river, and is at present
very difficult place to reach, as there
is only a trail through that section.
1t is expected that operations will
soon commence on the development of
these mines, as Mr.. Reed is member
of copper company which was re-
Gently organized in Roseburg, with
Mr.. Fred Blakely at the head. Ma
tive copper is abundant throughout
Southern Oregon, but those owning
most Of the mines have not sufficient
capital to work them properly.

tween 60,000,00O and 8O,OOO,OO0 tons

covers almost two square miles. The
Slide is attributed to the steepness of

ing. Heavy rainfalls pouring through
the assures tended to open them still
further.
The accident was locally hastened
by a creep in the coal mine which
caused a jar. The mountain where
the slip took place is very badly frac-
tured and is now slipping down con-
t1nuously in small pieces. There is
danger of another slide, as some of
the fractures extend back 500 or 600
feet from the face, and if these were
to open another bulk would come
down.
Mr.. Mcconnell thinks that there will
always be more or less risk in living
at Frank and that the people should
move as soon as possible.

SEALED BIDS FOR WOOL.
First Pool Sale This Season Held at
ArIington-Sale Small.

The first wool sale of the season
under the system of sealed bids, in
augurated in this state for the first
time last year, came off in Arlington
last week. 1t was a sorry disappoint-
ment to both seller and buyer. Over
500, 900 pounds of wool was offered for
sale, but only about $4,000 pounds was
sold. Prices paid for those sold
ranged from 11k cents to 13 cents.
The offers on the largest and best
clips were all declined because the
ruling prices had fallen below the
owners expectations. Dissatisfaction
was expressed by number of buyers
over the sales made this morning by
the local bank to buyer on the
ground before the time for the public
sale when all the buyers should ar
rive. This may have had a tendency
to qualify the interest of the buyers
in the other lots-1isted.

that the government Of the Malay

propose to import the ore into the

SLAVERY IN NEW FORM.
Secret Service Men Find Judges Pro.
noting Peonage i'm the South.

Washington, May 26.-At the re-
quest of the Department of Justice,
the United States Secret Service has
undertaken an investigation of the
charge of peonage, or holding another
in servitude to work out debt, which
has been made against persons living
in the vicinity of Montgomery, Ala.
One man, named Robert NJ Franklin,
has already been indicted for keeping
a Negro in servitude, and information
in the hands of Chief Winkle tends to
show that regular system has been
practiced between certain magistrates
and persons who want Negro laborers.
The plan is to bring poor Negro
before magistrate on flimsy
charge. He is convicted, and the
white man offers to advance him the
money provided the Negro will make
a labor contract with him for a
length of time sufficient to reimburse
him for the money and trouble he has
taken to keep the Negro out of Jail.
The Negro is thereupon taken away,
and begins what is frequently long
term of cruel servitude.

Union, held last evening in this city,
it is reported to have been decided to
ask the permission of the American
Labor Union to strike, unless the men
recently discharged at the Washoe
smelters be reinstated 1t is the
opinion of majority of the labor
leaders here that there will be no
strike. 1t is alleged that the men dis
charged had been too active in at
tempting to dictate the policy of the
company in the matter of running the
new works.
