Absolutely Pure Confectionery.

No subject has been more wildly and
more exhaustively discussed in the
columns of newspapers and periodicals
of all kinds than that which relates to
pure food products.
The causes which led to the agitation
and discussion of this matter were found
in the widely spread adulteration of
nearly every thug that entered into the
food supply of the people.
The evil grew to such proportion as to
prove a menace to health and the press
and people were forced to take up arms
against INSCRIPTIONS people who made
and put on the market such vile stuff
that it could not but impair the health {;
and endanger the lives of their custom
eIs az we'll.
In the light Of too frequent adultera-
lions Of confectionery it behooVes all,
to scrutinize closely the kinds offered
them, though such precautions are often
neglected
To supply such wants, we are making
and placing on our counters, every day
pure line of candies, that 10 not
only pure, fresh and wholesome but
every pound of candy we sell is made
under The Pure Food Laws of Massa-
chusetts.
Our long experience enables US to
know the good from the bad.
Very respectively yours,
Z K. DELAEo, the confectioner.

BOY IS KILLED AT
 ICE PLANT
Caught in a Belt and Ground to Pieces on a Large
 Fly Wheel,

PHOENIX, Aug. 7.-(Special.)- Albert Walker, aged about 19 years. met horrible death this morning at about 2 o'clock at the Peoples Ice & Fuel company by being caught in belt and carried around a pulley and crushed to death.
 A few minutes before his death, Walker, who has been employed at the ice company ever since it began oper- ations, had finished his work of pull ing ice out of the vat, went outside of the factory into the alley on the north side of the building, where the engineer was sitting to chat with him. He had just finished loading up an ice wagon when he sat down in a chair beside the engineer and started a conversation.
 The last words that he uttered were spoken to the engineer, whose name is George Popson. He said: 'T'll go back and pull some more ice.' Whereupon he proceeded through the engine room to one of the engines in the rear of the building.
 Walker was well acquainted with all the machinery in the engine room and usually after a chat with the engin- ger he would proceed direct to the ice NdiS- f1OW6NSf, on tnlS occasion ln- stead of doing this he went to the en- zine room for the last time
 In the southwest corner of the en- zine room there is a small motor and 1 from this motor to a pulley which is about ten feet away and on an angle of about 35 degrees there is connected with the motor and the pulley a four inch belt. It was at this place that Walker met a horrible death.
 It appears that he went direct to the motor, but for what purpose and just exactly how the accident happen, ed no one will ever know. He pass, ed by the motor and whether by acci- dent or otherwise. it is presumed that he caught one of his pants legs in the pulley of the motor, which threw him onto the belt, and he was carried up to the larger pulley where he received his fatal injuries.
 The body was taken in charge by Mohn & Driscoll, undertakers, and the funeral will be held tomorrow at 9:30 o'clock. Rev. Govette will officiate The deceased is the son of MT. and
 Mrs. T. J. Walker. Their many friends extend sincere sympathy to the | family in the time of their sorrow.

While abroad he will en- deayor to interest them in Arizona Commercial and shannon. believing that both properties present great future possibilities.
 Mir. Amster says: T am extremely bullish on the copper shares and l be- lieye that before the close of this year the rank and file of copper shares will sell ID to 20 points higher.
 T do not believe that people grasp the strong position of the copper producing companies. Almost all of the dividend-paying copper companies have been strengthening their finan- cial position instead of paying out their full earnings in dividends. Most of the dividend-paying copper stocks are today selling on a basis of g per cent and 10 per cent return on the selling price of their shares, while the companies are earning 25 to 50 per cent more than they are paying in div idends.
 The copper companies are in an exceedingly strong position because in the past year they have been able to invest a great deal of money out of earnings in their mines and plants, which has permitted them to intro duce economies in operations which have and will add materially to the intrinsic value of the properties.
 There are indications that the price of the metal will be higher be- fore il is lower. So long as consump- tion keeps ahead of production, as at present. there need be no fear of a de- cline in the price of metal, because the large producers have realized that there is more money for them in a stable price for copper than in fluc- tuating market.

 'The situation is now different, as 75 per cent of the copper production of the country is in the hands of three or four interests who are working fin harmony.
 "I believe that there need be no fear of any wide break in the price of the metal. considering that the consumers are in favor of a standard price. be- lieve that future fluctuations of the metal will be between IS and IS 1-2 cents. but it may be a long time be- fore we see 15-cent copper.
 Copper shares are today selling on a basis of less than Is cent copper. I think that investors are beginning to realize the stability of copper share investments.

SALTON SEA NOW
SEVENTY FEET DEEP

Who is responsible for the creation
of the Salton sea in Southern Califor-
mia. which already covers an area OF
400 square miles and threatens to
spread over 2000 square miles If some
means of diverting the Colorado river
can not be devised? This question Is
perplexing Mexican and American
dfplomatists. but for the time dlpio-
matte representations have been sus-
nended and both the United States ana
Mexico are bending every effort TO
check the river. which has been acci-
den4aIly turned from its course through
the efforts of the California Develop
ment Company 70 irrigate lands IN
Northern Mexico and Southern Cali
tornia.
Again and again the Southern Pacific
railroad has been compelled to move
ire tracks which ran through the
SeIton sink and have been forced on
TO the foothills surrounding the great
basin which is being converted into a
sea. Several small towns are now be-
meath the waters which the Colorado
has poured into the basin and in many
places only the tops Of the railway
telegraph poles IHuicdte "Hcie 'N
roadbed formerly was. In the lowest
part of the sink the water is now 40
feet deep. For a time the water from
the Colorado raised the sea at the rate
of six inches a day and it has been
estimated that, granting the failure OF
engineers to check the river, in 40 years
all the basin located beneath the main
course of the Colorado will be covered
with water A part Of this basin Is IN
Mexico and the failure to control the
river would give this country and
Mexico q lake comparable to the great
axes separating the United States and
canada. At present the lake is great

THE QUESTION RAISED.

On the question of admitting an al
legged confession by Y. Man Yong. the
Korean on trial for assault with intent
to murder, Judge Lindsay heard evil
dence most of the day with the jury
excused. The end of this diversion of
the trial proper is not yet, for the in
quiry into this preliminary question
was not concluded at p. m. when the
court adjourned until 10 a. m. today.
Messrs. Fleming and Cathcart called
Henry Vida, Assistant County Sheriff,
in the morning for the purpose of clCs-
ing the case for the prosecution with
the confession.
Messrs. Lightfoot and Noar, for the
defendant, objected on the ground that
the confession was eXtorted from the
defendant while under duress by means
of abuse and threats.
Then the jury was excused, first till
p. m. and then till 10 a. M, and
Vida and Yong were successive'y called
and examined.

YONGS STORY.

Y Man Yong said he saw Choy, the
Korean spy, in Vida's office at $50
the evening of March 13, but he went
out when defendant came in. While
only Vida and he were there Vida ask
ed him whether he had taken shot
at any person. He answered he had

Informed Mr. Lightfoot through the in
terpreter. and he was told to go on.
Vida said Yong denied it then. but
he would make him admit he did the
shooting. He asked him the same
question many times, and Yong repeat
ed the same answer every time. At
last Vida opened a door behind him and
led Yong out upon a back veranda.
Then with his fist he struck me here
Indicating the right side of the body
and told me to tell the truth. and l
told him I did not do the shooting.
Then he struck me on the right side"
With many words Yong told of being
taken into Vida's office again and or
dered to sit down on a chair.
"And he CVida) took out his watch
and said. I will give you five minutes
and if you don't tell in that time l HJlIl

After five minutes had passed Vida
took him out back again and beat hlm
as before. Yong went on relating, after
which he took him into his room again
and said it was late, but he would XIII
him if he did not tell him next day
that he did the shooting Then ne
called a policeman and sent Yong down
to a cell.
After that night, Yong said, he could
not eat or drink because of his hurt
He asked the watchman to let him out
so that he could wash his face, but the
watchman said ne couldn't because
the boss wouldn't let him.

LIQUOR sLOOP CAUGHT.

Important Capture Made by Deputy
Sheriff Eaton at Stonington.
One OF the most important liquor cap
lures made in Hancock county recently
was made by Deputy Sh4rin Joseph Fl.
Eaton at Stonington last Thursday.
For several weeks Sheriff Mayo has been
on the lookout for floating liquor
saloon in the shape of sioop. stocked
with liquors, which was cruising along
the Maine coast, visiting quarry and fish
ing towns and leaving wake OF intoxica-
tion.
The sloop was down at Northeast and
Southwest Harbors on the Fourth, and
Fourth of July celebration in the latter
town.
Thursday the sloop dropped anchor at
Stonington, and Deputy Sheriff Eaton and
two other men went aboard ostensibiy te
obtain liquor. The skipper promptly
produced liquor, and each OF the men
bought pint. The arrest followed and a
search OF the sloop disclosed seventy-two
pints of liquor hidden away in ingenious
lockers.
The skipper, who gave his name az
Robert s. Heldter, of Maiden Mass, was
arraigned before Judge Spofford, in the
Western Hancock municipal court. He
pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to a fins
OF 500 and costs, and sixty days in ths
county jail, with sixty days additional il
default of payment of fine. He is now
serving sentence in the Ellsworth jail.
The sloop, which has long evaded the
officers, is equipped with gasoline en-
gine, and capable of making eight or ten
knots an hour. Several times when III
close quarters her speed has enabled hel
TO elude her pursuers.
