McCu1nber ON Pure
Food Legislation

A Washington correspondent
has the following to say in, re.
ference to the pure food Flaw
which has been so earnestly
fought for by Senator McCum-
Der.
Senator P. J. McCumber of
North Dakota. whose efforts in
behalf Of pure food legislation
for several years may be success
fully rewarded at this session
of congress, talked most inter.
estingly to your correspondent
today about the immense infiu-
ences that oppose such legisla-
ton, and those which favor it.
by the construction given by
the courts to the interstate com
nerce cause of the constitution, =
said Senator McCumber, no
state has the power to prevent
any commercial article from
being imported into its territory.
Not only that; it has no right to
interfere with the first sale of
such property within its borders
in original, unbroken packages.
You can see. therefore, that
state authorities are helpless SO
far as preventing importation
and original sales. Now, ii
happens that about IS per cent
of all the adulterated and mis-
branded articles are sold in
states other than those in which
they are manufactured.
Il have for years pressed con-
| sideration Of a pure food bill.
The present bill is to supple.
ment the efforts Of the states tc
eradicate the curse Of adulterat-
led and misbranded foods, Il
reach the root of the evils The
manufacturers themselves. Its
object is also to protect the nom
lest manufacturer and dealer.
It is impossible for a honest
manufacturer Of goods to conpets

counterfeit articles at one tenth
the cost. Another object IS Il

OUR IMMEDIATE PROSPECTS

There is no city in the state
with as bright prospects at this
time as Devils Lake.
Work has already begun which
is merely the preface to what
the Great Northern will do in
the near future.
The line from Aneta will be
built next summer, and when it
is completed, at least two of the
best trains on the system three
and four-will be run over this
line to the twin cities.
Because of the fact that these
trains will leave the main line
here, the travelling public must
necessarily come to this point
to reach the most important out
side points in the state.
This will require hotel facil-
ties much beyond the present
ones.
It will be necessary that the
city have modern hotel in
every particular, and amply
large enough to accommodate the
trade.
The carrying on Of a hotel will
mean the feeding Of a large
number of people, and this will
increase the business of the
merchants, and afford market
for the products Of the farms in
the proximity Of the city.
It will certainly be the home
of a large number Of railroad
people. for the junction of two
main lines of a railroad will re-
quire that large number of
people who are engaged in oper-
ating these roads should reside
here, and these must be fed and
clothed and housed.
The contemplated improve
ments in the Chautauqua rail
road will make that resort more
popular than ev er and bring to
the assembly larger crowds than
ever before. 81
The Farmers line has opened a
large trading territory for the
city, and made it an important
grain shipping point.
All these things prove that
Devils Lake is just on the eve
of the greatest boom in its his.
tury. ...5

4 GOVERNMENT BUILDING

The bill providing for $3.50, 600
for a public building in this city
passed the senate last Friday.
and now goes to the house.
There is no reason why it
should not become a law.
IL it does it will not only add
to the beauty of the city, but
will make it one Of much more
Importance than at present, or
that il will be in the future
even, without this structure.
Aside from the fact that the
greater portion of the money
would be spent in the city, there
would be a continued money
value to the city in general. &
The building will not be con-
structeu for show. In addition
to being made the quarters of
the post office and local land
Office, the United States district
court would hold mure important
sessions here than it novT does,
and in all probability there
would be some Of the officers att
tached that court permanently
estab lished at this place. n
All these things will bring to
the city d class of desirable peo-
ID le which 1t only temporary,
will add materially To the pros.
perity of the city

Relief for Coconlno County.

Delegate Smith has introduced a bill in congress providing for the payment of SI75,ooo to Coconino county by the government of the United States. This bill is to re- lieve Coconino county from the unjust burden placed upon it by the action of Yavapai county in voting a subsidy to aid in con structing a railroad from Prescott to Seligman, station on the At lantic and Pacific railroad, about I6o miles from Prescott. The road was known as the Prescott and Arizona Central, and was the pio- neer railrood that connected Phoe- nix with the main line.
