JAPAN,s BIG CoNTRACrs.
Preparing for Extensive Operations
I'm Manchuffa.


New York, June S.-That the jap
anese intend to carry on military op-
erations in Manchuria on an exten-
sive scale is illustrated by their plac-
ing large contracts for various rail-
road equipment in this market. Hun
dreds of cars, locomotives, etc, are
to be rushed to the far east with all
possible dispatch. All the shipments
will go overland 10 the Pacific coast.
Forty thousand tons of freight have
already been booked with the trans
continental roads, which Will mean an
expenditure of upward of 100000
for this item alone.
An eastern car company has just
obtained a contract from the Japan
ese government for 1909 steel cars,
varying in capacity from seven to 20
tons. Another contract which was
placed last week, calls for 1000 gon-
dola type, steel underframe cars. A
further contract has also been award
ed by the japanese government to the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, which
concern recently was allotted one for
| 12O locomotives through the same
source. One hundred additional To-
comotives have Just been ordered.
II is estimated that within the last
few months the contracts placed in
this country on japanese account for
structural material, electrical equip
ment and machinery for arsenals and
ship yards and for railroad material
for Japanese, Corean and Manchurian
railroads exceed $15,000,000.

tenn, at an average advance of four
cents per pound over the prices re-

of those counties, or an average loss
of four cents per pound on 4,O00,OOO
pounds,

Salem, June SIT appears that the
vendors of drugs, medicines, etc, who
Registered vociferous objections to the
operation of the new drug vendors

conclusion that it is useless for them
to contest the validity of the act and
decided to pay the amount of license

Secretary Riggs, of the state board
o6f pharmacy states that three or four
of them did so under protest. Believ-
ling that some serious oefects had
| been discovered in the act II was
their first intention of putting the
eaet to test. but they appear to have
abandoned this idea and will now
sSdbmit to the inevitable.
There are about 20 ftinerant ven
doris who do business in the state,

1.-THE state every year.
The board of pharmacy is in receipt
of copy of the annual report OF the
treasurer of the Iowa board of phar-
macy which shows that total of
$35, 800 had been collected from itin-
Grant vendors of drugs, nostrums,
etc, alone during the past two years,
of which amount $32,S64 was turned
into the state treasury. The Oregon
law is almost an exact copy of the
Iowa itinerant law and the local
board entertained no fears of its
standing the tests of the courts.
When in the city last week making
inquiries concerning the legality and
constitutionality of the vendors act,
E. C. Case, of Candy, asked Attorney
General Crawford for an opinion. The
attorney general granted this request
yesterday in the form of a letter in
which he holds that the law is not un-
constitutional on the ground of dis
criminative license or tax and that II
is not in contravention of the federal
interstate commerce act.
The principal point which Mr..
Chase dwelled upon in his contention
of the validity of the act was that
the licensing of the venders of drugs
shipped in from another state was
not permissible, since it was an at
tempt to regulate interstate COM
merce. In passing upon this point
1t being understood that Mr.. Case re-
ceived the goods in bulk and then
peddled them out in separate packa-
ges.
Attorney General Crawford cites
several authorities bearing upon the
question, and holds that goods ship
