Chemical Laboratory for Testing
Imported Articles in the
Food Stuff Line.
MAY BAR GERMAN SAUSAGE
Impure Foods Are stopped at the
Customs House and Return
ed to the Country That
Exported Them.

Washington, Aug, PA chemical
laboratory for the examination of inn
ported food products will be opened
in the appraisers store building of the
treasury department in New York by
the department of agriculture Septem-
Der 5. Five of the chemists will be in
stalled, having been selected through
special examinations by the civil SER
vice commission. This is the first of
a number of laboratories to be estab-
lished to prevent impure food. the prod
uct of foreign countries entering the
United States. Congress will be asked
for appropriations for such laboratories
at Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans,
San Francisco and Chicago.
The foreign pure food law has been in
force more than year. and it is re-
garded as beyond the experimental
stage. DIR. H. w. Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry of the department
of agriculture. declares that it is the
intention of the department now to
put the screws on" Eighty per cent
of the importations of food arrive at
New York Samples from each cargo
hereafter will be taken direct from the
appraiser to the laboratory, obviating
the delay of requesting samples by the
secretary of agriculture from the Sec
retary of the treasury and the trans
mission of these samples to Washing
ton for analysis.
When the pure food law first was put
into operation, it was found that rs
per cent of the imports of goods and
drinks were admissible under its pro-
visions. Many cargoes have been re-
shipped out of the country as impure,
resulting in raising the standard of
imports until now it is estimated that
IS per cent of the imports are admis-
sible under the law.
The secretary of agriculture has lust
granted the first request of an import |
er to destroy his cargo instead of re-
shipping it after it had been condemn
ed as impure, the cargo being olive
oil.
The secretary of agriculture Is await
ing an Interpretation of portion of
the law, which it is believed will ex-
clude entirely the importation of sau-
sages from Germany.
The law excludes articles from entry
into the United States from foreign
countries which prohibit the importa-
tion of such articles. Germany pro-
hibits the importation of sausage, and
should the attorney general construe
the law as it is believed he will in this
respect, it will be enforced against Ger
man sausages.
Dr. Wiley declares that there is not
barrel of pure Scotch whiskey in
the United States and that the import
ations of this article are practically
all connections and should be labeled
compound"

Where Inches Count.

In Japan, when a farmer permits a
telegraph or telephone pole to be
erected on his land, he has made a
great concession to modern reform.
Only the exceedingly rich have fences
around their farms in Japan, not be-
cause of the cost of the fence, but be-
cause of the value of the square inches
the posts and pickets would consume.

Valley to Buy Canals.
Imperial, Cal, Aug. 24.--At a mass
meeting of the members of the Water
Users Association of the Imperial val
ley, it has been unanimously voted to
purchase the Imperial canal system
from the California Development Com
pany at the price set by the company
which is 100000. The purchase is
made under the terms of the United
States reclamation act and under its
provisions the federal government will,
il is understood, advance the purchase
price to the settlers the amount to be
repaid in 10 annual installments. The
reclamation of nearly half a million
acres of desert land is the final result
expected to be accomplished by the
transfer. The papers will now be for
warded to the secretary of the interior
at Washington for approval. The deal
is one of the most extensive and i'm
portant that has been made under the
national irrigation act for the reclama-
tion of arid lands. The waters of the
canal system are diverted from the
Colorado river and the territory irri-
gated by it comprises what is known
as the Imperial valley in California,
vast tract that extends to the Mex
lean line.

The Purdon system of separating
the sand from the ore was proved to
be very successful at the Arcturus
mine. The steel corporation owns
some properties on the western Mes
aba, one of these being the Diamond
mine. This property was acquired by
the Oliver Iron Mining company be-
fore the steel corporation was formed.

here. In the first act OF the tragedy a
stanger appears on the road near the
farmhouse diligently searching for
a lost diamond ring. AS lie does not
find it he offers 500 reward for its
recovery. He goes away without lind
ing the ring and shortly afterward a
tramp picks up a ring. The farmer
who is the victim offers the tramp $25
for the ring expecting to get the 500
reward. The tramp hesitates, but IL
nally accepts it and leaves. When the
farm cannot find the stranger he
grows suspicious and has ieweler

The Game Laws.

Big Fork Compass: The game pro-
lection laws of this state are framed
to make outlaws, They are expensive
useless and unpatriotic.
They create royal snap for one
man. giving him despotic power and
Tessian bodyguard.
Traitors are born wherever they are
enforced. and anarchists breed where
those laws are neglected.
Game law.enforcement is farce, ex-
cept to those who pay the bills, $50, 900
in thus thrown away yearly.
The Grand Rapids Independent
points out that Chief Game Warden
Chief Grabber Fullerton, wants a
stonger law compelling any man who
hunts small game to get license.
He wants licence for killing
SQUIRREL tax on guns!
"The rights Of the people to keep
and bear arms shall not be infrlnged,' y
says the federal constitution. But
Fullerton and the city gun clubs are
bigger than the constitution when t
comes to framing game laws.
1t is time to head Fullerton off, be.
fore he taxes butcher knives and Ii
censes fish hooks and it is about time
to elect the right kind of men to the
legislature to show up the injury
weakness and folly of the present
game laws.
