ADULTERATloN OF FOOD.
Port Laboratories Expected to Raj
Standard of Imports.

Port Laboratories Expected to Raise
Standard of Imports.
In urging that the German govern
ment adopt measures to prevent the
importation Of American canned fruits
because they are adulterated, the Ger
man commercial bodies are actuated
rather by a desire to restrict the for
eign competition than by any regard
for the welfare of the people who may
consume these fruits, says the BoS-
ton Transcript. The exports of Amer
lean fruits to Germany have attained
such large proportions within the last
few years that the German fruit grow
ers believe that their own protection
tests I'm the prohibition of American
imports, and If they can bar out can
ned fruits Oh the theory that they are
adulterated, they can in some measure
justify their asking for prohibition.
The retaliatOry measures adopted by
the United States have some justifca-
ton in the fact that while they are
retaliatory they are made in the in
terest Of American consumers as well
as producers. the main idea Of our
pure-food law being not the prohibit
ton Of imports but the exclusion of
those which are deleter.ous to health.
The establishment Of port labora-
tories in the United States, 1t is be-
heved, will result in raising the stand
ard OF imports OF food supplies TO this
country. When the pure food law went
into effect, more than a year ago. 1t
was found that % per cent OF the
imports OF foods and drinks were so
adulterated as to be inadmissible I'M
der the provisions OF the law. 1t is
estimated that now the percentage of
imports which are admissible has been
raised to So per cent. but there is
need of examination Of cargoes at the
port of entry in order that products
which are properly admissible may be
examined quickly and entered at once.
The character OF adul Grafton Of food
products which Is revealed by chemi-
cal examination Is the best iustlfca-
ton Of the pure-fOod law. Whatever
may be the retallatory effect of the
new departure of the department Of
agriculture, It cannot but be Of benefit
in raising the standard OF imports.

Go Back to Cave Life.

Lawton, Okla.-It is estimated from
reports received from various towns
and new country" that 5000 caves
are being dug. City officials and town
boards are urging this, and some of
them have passed ordinances requir-
ing it. At Hinton, Okla, the follow
ing official public notice has been
published:
"On nights when clouds look at all
dangerous, a sentry will be stationed
in the bell tower provided with a re-
peating shotgun. If there is apparent
danger he will ring the bell and fire
a number of shots in quick success
sion. Also any person who sees a
storm coming when the sentry is not
stationed will be expected to fire a
gun"

MELINlTE MOVES OUTLAW.
Thugs Nerve Willis When Explosive
Blows Down Walls.

Paris-The siege of the house in the
village of Usseau, department of
Deux Sevres, which an outlaw, heav-
lily armed, held in defiance of the au-
thorites, was brought to a conclusion
Sunday morning, when "A lieutenant of
engineers placed a charge of nell
mite against the wall. The soldiers,
forming a Gordon. withdrew to safe
distance, the bugles were sounded and
the melinite was exploded, destroying
half the building. Then the gen
darmes rushed in. only to find the out
law had escaped. In the meantime
a commotion among the enormous
crowd assembled near the house had
been occasioned by the outlaws APP
pearance among them. The prisoner
was formerly a gamekeeper, and is
charged with shooting and wOunding
his late employer. During the siege

IRRIGATION DRAWS ATTENTION
Washington and oregon People Losing
Millions Of Dollars.

At last public interest in the state
of Washington in government irriga-
ton, which has been too long apath-
etc, is becoming stirred. AS the facts
sink into the public mind, 1t is real
lied that the interests OF Washington
and Oregon have been woefully neg
lected.
Under the irrigation act. the pro-
ceeds from the sales Of public lands In
10 western states and territories are
set aside as a government fund for the
reclamation of the arid lands of those
states and territories. That fund now
exceeds $27, 900 900 and It is a deplor-
able fact that while the states Of Ore
gon, Washington and North Dakota
contributed In round numbers $4,000
600 Of the $27,OOO,OOO. not a dollar has
been expended on government projects
within these three statesl
The state of Washington has CON
tributed about 100000, Oregon near
ly 100000, North Dakota about s4,-
100000. and 40 per cent of the $1,000
uuV liOu HAS oldlt ndS bttn WIFI
drawn already and applied to irriga-
ton projects in other states.
And this Notwithstanding expert in
vestigation has shown that in eastern
Washington alone are 100000 acres
of irrigable lands which can be put
under ditch. The great Big Bend
project alone would reclaim about
] 100000 acres. The scheme for i'm
pounding the headwaters of the Yak
ina river would reclaim about 450, 900
acres more. The impOunding of the
waters of the falouse river in Wash
tucna coulee would reclaim 5000
acres of the finest soil in all the west.
AS much more land can be reclaimed
by diversion of the waters of the Co
lumbia at Priest Rapids. The Okan-
Ogan country has a meritorious pro-
ject of 1000 acres, and what is call
ed the Kittitas project would reclaim
100000 acres.

TAMPERINe WITH MAIL.
U. S. Inspectors Case interests the
President.

- btoPSNNS' CooN i'N~'~ SNo NHN
President.
Washington.-Pre Roosevelt
is manifesting a particular interest in
the case of Marcus Braun, a special
inspector of the United States immi-
grafton service, who is having trouble
with officials of the Austro- Hungarian
government. whom he charges with
tamperug with his official mail. In
spector Braun complained of his treat
ment to Ambassador Storrer, who CO.
bled to the state department some
details of the situation.
The charge is made specifically by
Mr.. Braun that the Austro- Hungarian
government is paying the steamship
companies a large sum each year to
bring immigrants to this country and
also that the immigrants are being
urged not to become American citi-
zens.
The president cabled for the reports
Of Inspector Braun. and will go over
them himself. Tampering with the
mail of an official in a foreign coun-
try is a serious matter, and there is no
disposition on the part of officials of
the department of commerce and labor
to treat the complaint of Inspector
Braun lightly.

Remove Spikes and Fishplates.
This is the fourth attempt in the
last four months to wreck passenger
trains in the same place. Previous at
tempts were made by piling ties on
the track, and were without serious
results. The wreck Sunday was caus-
ed by removing the spikes and fish
plates of two rails on the inside of
a curve. The engine passed over the
loose rails safely, but the mail car
left the track and was dragged 100
yards along the embankment before
the train was stopped. The next five
cars, the express and baggage cars,
the smoker and two coaches, went
into the ditch. The end of the bag
gage car went up in the air high
enough to ground the telephone
wires. Two Pullman sleepers remain
ed on the track.
Passengers Were Asleep.
The passengers were asleep when
the wreck occurred and became great
ly excited, but soon formed a wreck
ing crew and went to the relief of the
men in the overturned baggage car
A window was broken and of seven
men in the car six were found in
jured. Stretchers were made from
car doors and the wounded were car
ried to a nearby field, where a hos
pital was improvised. An hour after
the wreck, a relief train arrived from
Emporia and the injured were taken
to Emporia.
There is no clew to the wreckers
A track wrench and claw bar were
missing, and they We're found in q
pool of water near the wreck.
