solutely certain way to know that you
get a bottle of real whiskey, and if
the bottle has been opened in a saloon
it may have been refilled again with
some other mixture
part of his subject, DR.. Wiley said
that when whiskey was made it was
put in government bonded warehouse
and the maker of it had no access to
it after that. When he wanted to take
that whiskey out he paid the duty on
it, and then it was his to do what he
pleased with it. But he could go in
there under the supervision of the
revenue officers and put it in bottles
stamp over the cork.
But can it be adulterated before it
is put in there?" Mr.. Pollard of Vir-
ginia Queried.
mo, SIR was the answer; because
it is distilled under the supervision of
the United States revenue officials"
Then adulteration takes place in
the bars?''
mo. The United States government,
curiously enough, has legalized this
sort of adulteration, and it is curious
that while we cannot get law passed

have had this plan pursued: We have
what is called the Rectifiers' Law. The
idea of rectifying is to make better.
That is, you take the crude alcohol and
by redistilling it you get out the fuel
oils and leave the pure alcohol That
was the old idea. That is not the legal
idea, however. The rectifier can pay
a license to the United States govern
ment, and then he can go into a bond
ed warehouse and withdraw a barrel
of alcohols not of whiskey, pay the
tax on it, and the government allows
him to take that barrel of alcohol into
his esta blishment to dilute it to proof,
to color it artificially and to put in
all kinds of essences. In fact, he has
no limit put upon him at all, and it
is done under the authority of the
United States government
DR.. Wiley discussed some items OF
adulteration of foodstuffs and advised
the conference to work for state laws
on the model of the Pure Food and
Drug Bill that has been before Con-
gress for nearly twenty years. 1t is
now known as the Hepburn bill
1T is in the interest of justice and
right" DR.. Wiley said, that there
should be uniform definitions and prin-
ciples of legislation. 1t is best for the
consumer; it is best for the judge
and the jury and the lawyer. but most
of all it is just to the manufacturer
and dealer in food products / say
that the purpose of a food law should
not be to annoy and vex an honest
manufacturer and dealer It should be

injury
The pure food question has been
agitated in the Hawaiian Islands, more
or less, for twenty years. AS a result
there is a public chemist attached to
the Board of Health, with regula tons
of that body and some statute law for
his direction. Any new legislation that
may be deemed necessary ought to be
undertaken with some relation to the
national movement for uniform state
laws on the subject

PICNIC BIG SUCCESS
About Two Hundred HamiitOnlans
Spend Day in the Woods
Close to Nature.

The excursion given by the Ladies
of the Maccabees last Sunday was, OF
course, a great success. About 2OO
people, comfortably filling two day
coaches, the baggage car and a ca
boose, made the trip. Conductor
Woodson had charge of the train and
did his utmost to contribute to the sue
cess Of the excursion. 1t was an ideal
day, Old Sol discreetly retreating be-
hind the clouds, reducing the temper
ature somewhat.
The train ran through to Darby,
dropping fishermen off all along the
line. After a few minutes stop at
Darby the train returned to Lost Horse
creek where the most of the crowd
spent the day, picnicking and wander
ing thu ough the woods. Happily no.
body was beguiled into following the
exam pie of the illustrious equine that
made this placid tributary of the
beautiful Bitter Root famous. The
day passed pleasantly, all benefiting
by their close contact with nature. In
the evening the train backed up to
Beams spur and at o'clock the run
for Hamilton began. People were
picked up all along the line, the train
arriving in Hamilton at 7:5O.

OPENING OF THE
FLATHEAD
CONGRESSM DIXON SAYS 1T
WILL TAKE PLACE IN
ABOUT TWO YEARS

The Western News is constantly re
ceiving inquiries anent the opening Of
the Flathead Indian reservation. To
sum up the situation in few words,
"there'll be nothing doing,' so far as
the entryman is concerned, for a
couple of years yet. The Indians have
been enrolled and the government sur
veys are being made and it is expected
that these surveys will be completed
by next December. The plats will
then be made and filed and the Indians
will receive their allotments.
Cong ressman Dixon, who, in con-
junction with Senator Clark, secured
the passage of the Flathead bill, in a
recent signed statement says: "In
order to make entry it will be neces-
sary for prospective homestead seek

Bean expects to move the mill to Lake
Como, next week, where he has secur-

mill grinding for Il long time.
Some fine strings of fish were
caught. Frank L. Burns probably
by pnotized more fish than anybody
excepting Jack Klejnoeder, who is
professional. But Frank became en-

company with F. E. Hyde, John Lei

broke up Franks fish had disappear

Tom Beavers forgot his HYMN book
and took along some ice, but it melted.
Conductor Farrell of the logging
train went along and devoted his en-
tire time to making folks "fecl at

Engineer Wilson, the man who
swatted Clarence Young, the Bear
mouth train robber, was along and no
apprehension of a hold-up was felt.
The Ladies of the Maccabees were
as busy as honey bees, trying to make
every body have good time.
Not single accident happened to
mar the pleasure of the day. One ir-
repressible boy about five years of age
fell into the creek, but he looked so
cool when he came out, soaked to the
skin, that natural inference was that
he did it designedly.
1t was a real, alloyed pleasure to
watch the little folks frolicing and
gamboling abont in the deep, cool
shadow of the woods.
Some gathered garlands of "kinne-
kinnic" and others sought to begu,le
the wary old trout from his lair. They

cases only one track is found.
What feet made them, and when?
Let the boots of the chairman of
the Custer county populist COM
mittee be fitted into the depres-
sions. Some kinds of boots
sometimes leaves a track which
fingers longer than the scent, and
which, in Custer county, has led
to the end of the trail, but not
until after the quarry was safely
burrowed. Editor Beal's boots
are always unmistakable. They
leave what the people of Custer
county have learned to call
"splay" marked on the surface.
The Bryan boot is fiat and broad;
the boot of "the plain people,"
''the common people," and with
out the high-arched instep and
slender outlines of the ariStocrat.

trouble, Shinn paid the county $3.50. At
the same time his predecessor, Judge
Reese, was sued OH exactly siamilar
claim, Reese refused to settle the matter
and it was carried to the supreme court
and settled in Reese's favor.
''If Reese owed the county nothing and
the highest tribunal in the state said so,
then Shinn owed the county nothing and
the county is just $3.50 better off. In
| other words Shinn made the county a
donation of $3.50, and yet in the most
villianous and detestable manner, he is
assailed and accused of being "short in
his accounts" with the county"
In the first place it is not true
that Judge Reese's case ever
reached the Supreme Court. 1t
was tried in the District Court
when Judge Sullivan was on the
bench and it was found that
Judge Reese had turned over to
the county more than the law re-
quired and the county board re-
imbursed him for the amount.
Further than that Judge Reese
hired clerk at his own expense
to write final proofs and in that
class of work the county was to
no expense.
If Judge Shinn was assailed in
"villianous and detestable man.
ner" it was the populist county
board that was in power, with
Geo. Carr as its chairman that
made the charges and instituted
the suit against Mr.. Shinn. 1t
was matter with which the re-
publicans had nothing to do. 1t
was when the matter was fresh
in the minds of the people eight
years ago when the populist
voters were In the majority in
this county by several hundred
votes that he was defeated for
reelection on that issue.
The populists were on the in
side and should have known the
facts then and doubtless voted as
they were convinced was the
right thing to do. 1t is no time
now for the Beacon to try to force
this man Shinn onto the people
by comparing his records with
that of John Reese who was
found not guilty by a populist
judge and populist county attor-
ney. 1t is not logic nor good
reason to say because two men
are sued for stealing a horse,
where one confesses and the 9TH
er denies and is tried and found
not guilty that one who confessed
is likewise innocent. Nor is it
fair to compare the innocent man
who proved himself innocent with
the one who confessed his guilt
and settles for one fourth the
amount with which he is charged.
