THE TRUST IN ALCOHOL.
Free Alcohol May Not BE Such Boon
After All.

Denatured alcohol, hailed with joy
by farmers, motorists, chemists and all
who now pay tribute to Rockefeller,
has been sidetracked to that 1t Will
not be rival of the trust that con-
| trolls the price of ordinary alcohol.
Strictly interpreted, the orders con-
cerning this product, which have been
Issued in large quantities from the
treasury department of late. show that
though the farmers are not prohibit
ed from turning waste "spuds" into
alcohol, provision is made by which
the product will be handled by H.
censed distilleries. Most of the licens-
cd distilleries are in the distillery
trust which means that the price of
the denatured alcohol will probably
be sent skyward and the article plac-
ed under the benevolent control of the
alcohol trust. The absence of any
provisions for the manufacture of all
cohol by private individuals is very
marked. and would indicate that no
great effort is being made by the
treasury department to encourage the
| former.
Denatured alcohol. upon which the
government has been experimenting
for some time and which will be plac-
ed upon the market January l, 1907,
has been the object of much interest
from many classes of people whom it
will directly benefit
From the present market price of
sl.65 a gallon. which the Standard
OIL, controlling the market now ex-
acts, the price will drop to 3b cents
n gallon, 1t is predicted. This places
1t within the reach OF motorists, who
VIII find II cheaper than gasoline;
chemists and others who use large
quantities of alcohol. II was predict
ed that the new product would revolu-
tionize many classes of manufacturers
and that it might even be adopted by
locomotives as a fuel.
To farmers. it means a market for
what has hitherto been considered
waste products. Potatoes too small
To market. sugar beet waste, and other
materials may be utilized for the new
alcohol
The oFders from the treasury de-
partmont are very verbose in direc-
tlons concerning the handling of the
product by licensed distilleries, from
which 1t passesso bonded warehouse
to be passed upon by government in
srecters. Another provision that will
tend 10 favor the large dealer is that
denatured alcohol in bond shall not
ne orawn IN smaller quantities Than
zoe wine gallons at a time.
As ali denatured alcohol must be in.
spected when drawn, this clause was
intended to save work for inpectors
put il Will tend to place the market
ing OF the product in the hands OF
dealers who can afford to handle II in
large quantities.

FAvORs FREE PASSES.
Representative Beveridge OF Portland
Goes on Record.

"lf any bill Is introduced at the
next session of the legislature max
ing unlawful for free passes to be is
sued to public officials in Oregon, I
will, unless declared out of order by
the house, introduce an amendment
providing for the enactment of a
statute which shall by state law com
pei all railroad and street car COM
panles in the state to issue free trans
portation to all state, county and city
officials within the state" This is
the attitude of Representative ]. w.
Beveridge of Portland in regard to
anti-pass legislation, says the Oregon
Daily Journal.
Discussing railroad measures today
Mr.. Beveridge expressed himself up
on the pass question. He takes the
ground in the first place that man
of sufficient size to fill a public office
with credit would be above the petty
influence of the small favor extended
by free pass over a few lines of
railroad. He does. not think that a
pass wields any appreciatible influ-
ence or places the holder under any
obligation of sufficient importance to
influence his decision on any public
matter.
On the other hand, Mr.. Beveridge
considers that it would be q matter of
economy to make transportation a
legally provide perquisite Of office.
Such a measure would cut off the
large annual expense for mileage
which the state now handles. Under
the present custom public officials
are allowed certain sums for mileage
which they as a rule draw from the
treasury. while, as a matter of fact,
all or nearly all of them possess
passes or other transportation from
the railroad companies. The pass re-
quired by state law would abolish the
mileage expense and at the same time
by virtue of its being legally pro-
vided means of transportation, would
cease to be of any value to the rail-
road companies as a means of influ-
ence in matters of legislation or pub
lie business.
Mr.. Beveridge has given the anti
pass question some serious consider
alton and will advocate the crystalliz
ing of his ideas into law when thu
matter comes up for settlement IL

NEW SUGAR FACTORY RECORD

Figures from Register Of Deeds Office
Indicate Growth

That Minneapolis. real estate is ac-
tive this spring., and that prosperity
has not deserted the city, is shown by
the large increase in the number I, of
instruments recorded in the county
register Of deeds office the first quar-
ter. In January, February and March
there were 5,258 instruments, mostly
deeds, recorded, as against 4,701 for
the same time in 1905 and 1904 in
1904. ~. ~
The amount. taken in for fees was
unusually large. According to figures
prepared by Chief Deputy A. W.. Skog
the income exceeded the expenses of
the office just $1,573.32, as against
$994,62 in the first three months of
1905 and $924.34 in 1904 s2
e'sThe figures in our office speak vol
umes for the prosperity Of the city
and county, said Mr.. Skog. III

Improvement Bulletin Comments ON
City Building Ordinance.

Building restrictions, as now estab-
lished in Minneapolis, receive the com
mendation Of the Improvement Bulletin.
In Saturdays issue the Bulletin says:
1.-THE city council of Minneapolis has
passed a new ordinance regulating the
construction Of buildings, for the pur-
pose Of safeguarding human life. This
action is .commendable, and worthy Of
being copied by. other cities generally
thru the northwest. Now, if the .coun-
Gil will reform itself to the extent of
refraining from granting permission to
evade this and other wholesome build
ing laws, it will succeed in establish
ing precedent worthy and commend
able.''-.
In 1905 several of the important city
Improvements were not included in The
building totals by the Inspections de-
partment, because the work was done
under special and illegal permits from
the city. council. The improvements
therefore have no standing at all in the
records. In the last few years a great
many improvements to prominent bust
ness blocks, and in the residence dis
tricts, have been made under special
permit and are therefore lost to the

menace to the public may be. ,,...
