DRUG STORES NEXT BAR CONSERVATIVES
Radical Order in Texas Classes Tuber-
culosis With Yellow Fever
and Smallpox.

Federal officials having to do with
the regulation and control of the pub
lio health are exercised to learn that
the public health officials of Texas will
soon issue proclamation of permanent
quarantine against all persons affected
with the advanced stages of tubercu-
losis.. The proclamation will place
tuberculosis in the same category with
smallpox and yellow fever, according
to report, and is being issued because
of the increased immigration of tuber-
culosis patients to the dry climate of
arid Texas.
It is said that under the Federal stat.
utes tuberculosis is not a quarantin-
able disease, either under the maritime
or interstate immigration laws, but
immigrants can now be kept out of
the United States when afflicted with
tuberculosis. under the new immigra-
tion law. The opinion was given that
it may be difficult to sustain such a
quarantine before the Supreme Court
under the provision of the constitution
guaranteeing the right of every citizen
of the United States to go from one
state to another.
In each case the state authorities
will be compelled to prove absolutely
that the person denied entrance to
Texas is suffering from tuberculosis in
the adanced stage. and the cost of
such quarantine will be large.
On the question of public policy in
volved in such quarantine no opinion
of officials could be obtained for pub
location. but it is known to be the
opinion of some of the individual ex-
perts that the study of tuberculosis
has progressed SO far that state Of
quarantine is unnecessary and that i'm
migration of this kind might be treat
ed at tuberculosis colonies if protective
steps are necessary.
The issue raised 10 Texas has never
been heard of before by Federal off,
cials, although Colorado few years
ago agitated somewhat similar step.

GLOOMY PROSPECTS
Continued Cold Spring Does Enormous
Injury to Growing Crops In
the Southern States.

The continued cold, unreasonable
weather in the United States is unques-
tionably doing enormous injury TO the
growing crops. For the cotton plant
ers, wheat raisers, corn growers, and
farming interests generally the. year
1907, according to Chicago reports, is
likely to Ee one of the worst, if not
the worst, crop year within their re-
collection.
In the south the weather was Too
dry at planting time, and then too cold
and now too wet for proper cultiva-
tion.
The worst conditions are apparent
in Texas. Arkansas. Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Alabama aud Tennessee, where
the crop is reported from two to six
weeks later than last year. In these
states the ground is now foul and
watersoaked. The plant presents
grassy appearance and is overrun with
weeds and grass.
In Texas and Louisiana millions of
Eoll weevils are in sight, but it is too
early for much damage from this in
sect as yet. In Mississippi cut worms
and other cool weather insects have
been killing the delicate young plants.
In Georgia and the Carolinas reports
are unfavorable, but not nearly so
much as in the states further west.
The crop appears to be about two
weeks late and the average conditions
are about Is per cent below last year.
The weather in the southwest ap-
pears to have been colder in May. and
early June than in March.
Some crop experts of the southwest
estimate that this years crop will not
be more than from 30 to so per cent of
last year.
The United States government crop
report for June, issued this week. cal
culating on popularly accepted acreage
basis. indicated that this years total
spring and winter wheat yield would
be about 20,000,000 bushels, or ap-
proximately $4,000, 900 bushels less
than the combined outturn of the two
crops last year.

THREE DECISIONS BY BEAN
Grain Company Wins Over E. L. Smith
Turner Will Upheld.

Three important decisions were
handed down Saturday in the circuit
court by Judge Bean. 10 the case of
E. L. Smith versus the Interior Ware
house company, the decision was IN ia
vor of the company; in the Turner
will case, the will of Mrs. Turner was
upheld, and in the case of the Bank of
Pomeroy, Iowa, the motion to set aside
the verdict of the jury and order
new trial. was denied. reports the Tri
bune.
The first case has been in litigation
for the past two years and phases of
it are likely to be in the courts for
sorie time to come. In the first place,
Smith agreed to furnish a certain
quantity of grain to the warehouse
company in 1904 at a certain price.
When it came time for delivery, how
ever, the price Of wheat advanced and
the farmers represented by MIR. Smith,
refused to produce the wheat and he
could not deliver the full amount.
AS the warehouse company had al
ready contracted to sell the wheat, it
was obliged to replace the deficiency
with grain purchased at the advanced
price, so brought suit to compel Smith
to perform the contract. Smith in turn
brought suit to have the contract alb
rogated on the grounds that it was not
bis fault that be was unable to deliver
the wheat, and this was the case that
was decided Saturday.
Now that this question has been
decided the original case will be tried
out on its merits. The amount at issue
is only about $500. but the principle
involved is one of great Importance to
this country, where SO many grain
contracts are being made every year.

Smith, while Judge s. A. Lowell looks

Plan On Foot to Put Lid Down Tight
On the Apothecary Shops of
Oregon's Metropolis.

Portland's Sunday closing crusade
has not ended. The initiative has been
taken for closing all drugstores on the
Sabbath and the extent to which the
six-work day contagion may spread is
purely subject for speculation.
But the movement to close the drug
stores. says the Oregonian, has origi
mated among the druggists, and not
with the saloon men, as retaliatory
step to force strict enforcement of
the Sunday closing law. A. w. Allen,
secretary of the Retail Druggists As
sociation. is comforting with the drug
gists of the city in an effolt to learn
what the sentiment is regarding the
proposed Sunday closing. The plan
does not contemplate closing these
business houses for the entire day.
An agreement will be reached for
keeping these stores open for two hours
each Sunday, probably from IL O'Clock
noon until p. m. If majority de-
eide for closed Sunday, an ordinance
will be presented in the City Council
requiring all drugstores in the city to
suspend business for the day. with the
exception of the two or three hours
these dealers may decide to keep open.
IA number of attempts have been
made among he druggists Of the city
to bring about the closing of these
business houses Sunday" said Secre-
tary Allen. "but all have proved un-
successful. We have always encount-
cred probably half a dozen dealers who
insist on remaining open all day. The
result has been that we have accom-
plished nothing in that direction. since
the druggists who would willingly
close for the day refused to close their
places of business unless the movement
was general among the dealers in the
city. We are now informed that If
more than majority of the druggists
of the city declare for Sunday closing,
an ordinance will be passed by the
City Council requiring the others to
abide by the wishes of the majority.
81 expect to complete my canvass of
the druggists of the city the latter part
of the week, when I will know what
the sentiment is regarding business
hours on Sunday"

ed to be ignorant of any law forbidding
minors to enter such a resort, or even
to have thought that it was not right
for him to do so. although she now saw
that it had Eeen wrong to send him
for liquor.
On examination of Mr.. Lane, it de-
veloped that he himself had taken the
little fellow into the saloon at different
times, and on at least one occasion the
boy had been set upon the bar for the
amusement of bystanders. and given
beer to drink. Mr. Lane is carpenter
in town, but was for II months on the
police force IN Yakima, and yet claim
ed to be ignorant of any law to guard
the welfare of the boy.
Mr.. ]. F. Tiderington, grocer on
East Main street. and William Paul
son. young man staying with the
Lanes, both testified as to the good
character of the family, and the ample
provision made by Mr.. Lane for their
needs.
Judge Brents was inclined to treat it
as very serious offense. saying: "The
seriousness of the case consists in TAX
ing little boy like this to the saloons
and in sending him there day after day
alone. 1t is even worse because of the
evident respectabi)ity and good stand
ing of the parents which has been
brought out. They must have known
that it was wrong to put hin under
such influences, even if they did not
know it was against the law. l car
see no hope for the outcome of such Q
boy as he grows up to manhood if be
is to grow up amid such influences. :

Turner Will Upheld.
The Turner will case was an appeal
from the county court, which had up
held the will of Mrs. Turner Of Weston,
in which she left her property to her
two sons o. @. and S. o. Turner. The
other children, Alvin F. Turner, q. E.
Turner, Mrs. Ida Clarke and Others,
contested the will on the ground that
at the time the instrument was made,
the old lady was not mentally compet-
ent to make will and that undue in
fuence had been used by the benificia-
ries.
Peterson, Peterson & Wilson and
James A. Carter, represented the con-
testants. while McCourt & Phelps re-
presented the contestees.
Several witnesses were examined
during the trial Of the case which last
ed several days, large number of the
residents of Weston being called to
give their testimony regarding the
capabilities of Mrs. Turner.
Judge Gilliland of the county court
finally upheld the will. and Judge
Bean affirms the decision of the lower
court. As the amount involved is only
about $4,000, it is hardly probable
that the case will be carried to the
! supreme court.

WHAT OF FORT DOUGLASS

To The Salt Lake Herald:
As you will recall l have been greatly
Interested in the future Of Fort Douglas
an interest which is certainly held by
the press and public Of Salt Lake City
Having followed the matter closely and
many other efforts of the same kind be-
fore the war department and congress,
certain facts seem apparent to me-
The war department is impressed with
the availability of Fort Douglas as q To-
cation for a military post its strategic 10
cation, favorable climatic conditions, as
feasibility TO schools and good social in
fluences. water supply, etc. The only OBJ
lection which has been made by an off
clal OF the department seem to be that of
General Bell at the Commercial club din
ner' when he said that there was not land
enough Immediately adjacent to the res
erVauon for maneuver purposes. This OBJ
yecuOn was met by the suggestion of
Judge Goodwin, Judge COlborn and 9TH
eIs mat there was sufficient land, and
good land, for the purpose within some
rev miles, and this assumption gathers
ERECT when it is noted that in many posts.
notably Fort ID. A. Russell, the maneuver
grounds are not contiguous to the gar
rlson. In that particular instance they
are several miles away.
1t is certainly the desire of the war de-
partment to abandon some posts and 10
concentrate into others 1t is equally Ger
tain that it is the dominant idea to carry
this concentration up to the point where
the bulk of the army will be in brigade
poSNSs winch plan was only checked be-
cause congress last winter put restrain
ing clause on the army appropriation bill
that no part of the appropriation shall
be used toward establishing so-called
brigade posts" This clause was only in
stalled after a struggle in the committee;
whose complexion will be greatly changed
this fall Until il is, of course the war
department cannot consider the matter of
brigade posts and its estimates TO be sub
mitted at the opening of congress will
have to be drawn up with a ''regimental
post as the highest unit for new cOncen-
tration. That ultimately Fort Douglas will
be abandoned or enlarged into a brigade
post, is undoubtedly the idea of the de-
partment.
The obvious step in advance is to have
it placed in the regimental post class at
once. This General Bell said. while here
he would recommend to Secretary Taft.

reprinted in The Herald, Secretary TAFT
said that it was his intention to put both
