Order is Wealthy,

Order is Wealthy.
Owing to the manufacture and sale
of liquor known the world over as
chartreuse the order is very wealthy.
but the monks live most severe
and abstemious life In the past the
income from the sale of their liquor
was about 100000 francs, year, but
now, in a measure, their monopoly
has been taken from them in France,
where they are not permitted to sell
their famous tipple under it's old name,
the trademark, ETC., having been de-
clared in the French courts the prop
erty of the state.
A most remarkable suit grew out of
the demand of the French govern
ment for the secret of making the
famous Chartreuse, which, in it's re-
suit, was almost farcical, as many
things are in the French courts. The
first chamber of the civil tribunal in
which La Grande Chartreuse is loca-
ted handed. down a decision declaring
that the property of the congregation,
The secret for making the cordials
and the trademark of Chartreuse had
become the property Of the state.
Father Rey, the successor of Father
GARNER, the original owner of the
secret, contended that the plant and
the whole establishment belonged to
him, but admitted the order was his
business partner. 1t is needless to
say he refused to part with the secret
and, being in Spain at the time, where
he had established a new distillery,
the head of the order left only an
empty kind of victory for the French
government.
The humorousness of the situation
developed when the receiver appoint
ed by the French government to take
charge of the Carthusian establish
ment found about 100000 liters of
the liquor, the most part in raw spirit,
which, as the sole legal proprietor,
he was about to put upon the market.

Having been exiled from their mon
astery, near Grenoble, France, where
the order had been for 800 years, the
Carthusian monks have erected for
themselves a new haven of refuge in
Tuscany, which, if 1t is not so pictures
cue as the Grande Chartreuse in
France, is in one of Italy's sunniest
provinces.
1t will be recalled about eighteen
months ago all the monastic orders
in France were expelled from that
country and their communal property
confiscated by the state. The Carthu-
sians probably one of the richest COM
munities in France, where they had
teen since st. Bruno founded the mon
astery in the eleventh century, were
compelled to quit their ancient home
and their property and 60 into exile.
At the time of their expulsion the
monks of La Grande Chartreuse found
refuge at the dependent monasteries
Of their order in various parts of the
world; some of them were quartered
at luC HloHdolCly VI ~. lluSA, III ouo-
sex, England, and others, including
the general of the order, Father Rey,
went to Tarragona, Spain.
Almost Immediately, however, the
monks looked about them for new
home, and found sheltered spot in
the hills of Lucca. Tuscany. Here
they have erected commodious mon
astery, which has only recently been
completed and in 1t within few
months all the Carthusians who were
compelled to leave France will be
domiciled. The new monastery Is con-
siderably a more magnificent struc-
ture than the ancient home of the fol-
lowers of st. Bruno at Grenoble. The
cloisters are of Carrara marble and
the chapel is more beautifully decor
ated.

RICH ORE IN VIRTUE NINE.
Immense Vein of High Grade Rock
Uncovered.

More astonishing that a fairy tale,
says the Baker City Democrat. More
remarkable than all the fine gold
heretofore recorded in the history of
quartz mining in Baker county. as
astonishing as the wonders produced
by Alladins lamp in the tales of the
Arabian Nights, linked together with
the old Virtue, the most famous of
famous northwestern free gold pro-
ducers, the Bonanza, exactly opposite
the Virtue on the other side of the
Elkhorn range, after some years Of
abandonment, and reopening by AL
bert Geiser, the original discovered
and present lessee, again opens to the
world untold wealth and is the center
piece today of mining circles.
few daNs ago on the 200 level in
the Bonanza, the workmen under the
direction of Geiser, pushed through
q cross cut tunnel from the old ore
body which was supposed to have been
pinche out, into a lime dyke and
60 feet further on, picked up the ore
again in larger and richer quantities
than ever with 400 feet of banks and
unknown depths to explore. The long
sought mystery was solved and the
bonanza and the Virtue in the door
yard of Baker City stand today the
greatest free gold producers of the
northwest.
With 25 feet of ore in the face of
the vein, averaging better than $40 to
the ton, free milling, the wealth OF
this property can scarcely be estimat-
ed. Mr.. Geiser expects to open the
works again in short time with a
full force and go after the new wealth
in sight.

Sheriff Taylor who found him in Sc
attic. Jones pleaded guilty to the
charge against him because the state
was in possession of absolute evidence
of his guilty and the prisoner knew
it, Wilfred Perry, who also supplied
some saws for the prisoners on two
different occasions, has also pleaded
guilty to the charge, but has not yet
been sentenced.
The specific reason for James Doc
ley's commitment to the pen is the
fact that he stole a card of combs
from the Teutsch department store
several days ago. They were valued
at only 50, but he will have to serve
year regardless of that fact for one
year is the minimum sentence for
larceny from a store.

Fuel Famine Reaches the Acute Stage

So $50 'a>ehNJ Va ASoaoC Nhys
That the fuel famine has reached
the acute stage in the vicinity of
Boise, Is shown by the following item
from the Boise Statesman Of this
morning:
Yesterday passed without the arriv-
al Of more coal for Boise, and there
is no telling when any more will reach
here, but the absence OF further
shipments since Monday is not felt SO
keenly as with the real cold weather
Ct last week, the situation being re-
lieved some by the warm spell the last
two days.
The scarcity of coal and wood has
caused at least one coal firm in Boise
to seek other sources of fuel supply.
ana this firm, the Boise Commission
company, is out strong in the market
for sagebrush.
They are offering Sc per cord for
sagebrush properly trimmed, which
makes good fuel.
Sagehrush can be secured within
eight or 10 miles of Boise and this
firm is making every effort to get in a
supply.

Heretofore the people OF Oregon
have done the principal part of the
work and expended the principal part
of the money used in opening the
Snake and Columbia rivers to traffic.
While the people of Washington
and Idaho were equally interested and
benefited, yet Oregon built the port
age road, provided for its maintenance
and operation, and has borne all the
expense OF river traffic, while the
other states enjoyed equal benefits.
However Washington is awakening
to the Importance of the subject and
Walla Walla is beginning a campaign
to appropriate 100000 at the COM
ing session of the Washington legisla-
ture for the purpose OF opening the
two rivers In that state, to make traf-
fic on the upper river possible. The
Statesman says of the campaign
started by the Commercial club Of
Walla Walla:
A vigorous campaign which the
Walla Walla Commercial club will
conduct to awaken the people of the
state to the necessity of passing a bill
approprlating 100000 for the i'm
provement of Columbia and Snake
rivers in Washington will begin next
week.
Professor w. d. Lyman of Whit
man college was selected by the pro-
motion committee OF the club this
morning to start out next Tuesday
and visit all the principal cities in
southeastern Washington and arouse
them to demanding of their represen-
tatives that the river be opened and
eastern Washington made independ-
ent in the matter OF freight rates.
The commercial bodies all over the
state VIII be asked by the Walla
walla club to call special meeting to
consider the open river question and
Professor Lyman will address these
meetings and show by picturing con-
ditions in the inland empire that an
omen river will be of immense benefit
to the state.
1t Is thought that Professor Lyman
can accomplish this result II any man
can, in fact it was not fully decided
that the step be taken until 1t wss
found that he could be secured. He
is a walking encyclopedia Of mtor-
nation on the resources OF Washing-
ton, and has been Interested IN tne
open river question for years. BESIDES
being pleasing and convincing
talker,
He spent the whole of the past sum-
mer in collecting statistics on the re-
sources Of the inland empire for the
Columbia & Walla Waiia Iracuoh
company to be presented TO capi'ai-
lists who VIII finance the proJec'' so
that his knowledge is accurate as weil
as broad.
He will attend the meeting IN
Heppner next week after which ne
will begin his campaign OF educa'ioh
in southwestern washington.
