Or just as happens at almost every
session, many laws are enacted or rail-
roaded through towards the close, and
which too often prove unconstitutional
and ineffective.

Secretary Straus is Trying to Stop

The Force of immigration inspectors
Along the Canadian Border Has
Been Increased With a View
to Controlling Flood of
Asiatic immigration.

Washington. Immigration of Jap.
anese into America is increasing at
so alarming a rate that it has been
determined to adopt extraordinary
measures to prevent the introduction
into the United States not only OF
Japanese. but of other Asiatic coolie
labor. One result Of the trip of Sec.
retary Straus has been an increase in
the force Of immigration inspectors
along the Canadian border with a
view to controlling the flood of Asiatic
immigration. 1t is known that more
than double the number of Japanese
have come into the United States
thus far in the year 1907 than came
here during the same period last year
Naturally the figures of the govern
ment do not include the hundreds OF
Japanese who have come into the
country surreptitiously They have
come across from the Canadian and
Mexican borders principally without
hindrance, despite the means adopted
by the government to prevent the in.

who paid admission fees of 500 for
the privilege of landing in Canada.
The field of labor in that section of
Canada is limited, and the investiga-

Manufacturing Company Accused oi

Washington.-Pos General
Meyer has suspended the payment of
moneys due from his department to
the Hartford Manufacturing company
Of Hartford, Conn, and has submitted
the matter to the attorney general for
such further action as may be deemed
proper. The Hartford Manufacturing
company, up to July last, supplied the
stamped envelopes and newspaper
wrappers sold at postoffices. Chem
ical analysis of samples has disclosed
the fact that the composition of the
envelope paper has been below the re-
quirements of the contract, and ac,
cording to the computations of the ex

company has in the last four years
wrongfully benefited to the extent OF

Baker City Newspaper Men Have
Theory Regarding Murder of Brown.

Portland, Ore.-A special dispatch
from Baker City to the Evening Tele-
gram says that newspaper representa-
tiyes and other newspaper men of
Baker City have established what they
believe to be incontrovertible evidence
that three men were implicated in the
assassination of Harvey K. Brown, one
OF the men being dressed in wOman's s
attire in kimOnO. Three men have
been traced from the store where they
purchased the kimOno, and it is be-
lieved the one who posed as a woman
pulled the wire which exploded the
bomb. 1t is known that a woman was
seen near the scene a short time be-
fore the tragedy According to the
kilograms representative the three
men who purchased the kimono had a
discussion in the store regarding the
size OF the garment, one declaring he
could not wear it, as it was too small.
Noting the look of surprise on the
clerks face, he said it was for a large
woman. A larger garment was pur-
chased. A singular fact is that shortly
before the purchase was made man
visited another store and was shown
some mother hubbard wrappers, but
bought Teddy bear" instead to di-
vert attention.

No external remedy ever yet devised
has so fully and unquestionably met these
three prime conditions as successfully as
Allcock's Plasters. They are safe because
they contain no deleterious drugs and are
manufactured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because nothing
goes into them except ingredients which
are exactly adapted 10 the purposes for
which plaster is required. They are
speedy in their action because their medi-
cinal qualities go right to their work of
relieving pain and restoring the natural
and healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original and
genuine porous plasters and like most
meritorious articles have been extensively
initiated, therefore always make sure and
get the genuine Allcock's.
