WANTS LOTS OF MONEY
ATTORNEY GENERAL PLANS FOR
THE ENLARGEMENT OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Well-ad-
hsed officials Of the Department OF
Justice say that they believe Attor-
ney General Bonaparte has in mind
an enlargement Of the Department
such as will make 1t commensurate
with the demands upon it.
II Is said that the Attorney Cen
eral will ask Congress for much
larger appropriation than usual. The
exact sum Is not known but there is
no doubt substantial arguments can
be made to Congress why the De-
partment of Justice should be pro-
vided for on a more liberal scale. 1t
Is pointed out that the demands on
the department are constantly in
creasing and yet the appropriations
made for 1t are extremely low.
A high official Of the department
today talked about conditions that
demand an enlargement Of the De-
partment Of Justice. 1t said that the
activities of the Government against
the trusts, rate-giving railroads, and
the like, were constantly growing.
Just now the Government Is engaged
in graphing with the most powerful
monopoly in the world, the Stand
ard Oil Company. This case Is vir-
tually test of the Sherman anti
trust law. The Interstate Commerce
laws alone, by reason of exerting q
greater degree of Government con-
troll over railroads, are developing
much important litigation, and are
certain to develop more. This liti-
cation, in no small part, is bound to
nnd It's way to the Supreme Court,
and will require the most careful
attention of the Department of JUS
tice, even If much work is done by
special counsel
The determination of the Govern
ment to break up the large land
frauds Of the West and to recover
property wrongfully obtained from
the Government is another sphere OF
activity that is requiring more and
more work. on the part of the Depart
msnt of Justice. 1t Is necessary also
to consider meat inspection and pure
food legislation. the increasing i'm
portance OF insular affairs, and the
important fact that the administra-
Won Is eIerting every energy to Sc
csro strict Government control over
all interstate corporations and strict
er control over railroads.
All these things make the demands
heavier on the Department of Justice.
Attorney General Bonaparte is said
10 realize this fully and to feel the
department. must expand to meet the
OF Government activities
n numerous directions. Talk OF Mr..
3onsparte's retirement from the cab
net has about died out. Mr.. Bona
'arte has taken lease on his Wash
ngton residence for another season.
md this is cited as pretty clear eu-
lence he is to remain.

MAYOR SMITH MAKES
EMPHATIC PROTEST
Declares That He Is BeinR Ba Sc
ly Misrepresonted by Anti.
Saloon Workers.

Mayor Smith takes exception to an
article which appeared In the last
issue OF the Coorier, the purport of
which was, he declares, to make out
that he was not doing his duty as
Grants Pass Mayor In the matter Of
enforcing tho city ordinance which
expressly states that the saloons shall
not be kept open for business on
Sundays.
He expressed himself in rather
forcible language, as he talked about
the "gildsd hypocrites in the
churches. who dare not come out and
make their charges openly, but sneak
around and make these insinuating
attacks upon him. He attributes
much Of the agitation to Mr.. Hair. Of
the city council and he pays his com.
pliments to that gentleman in a not
very mild manner.
Mayor Smith emphsticslly says that
he was not elected with the under
standing that he was to enforce the
Sunday closing ordinance. On the
contrary he feels confident that the
people who elected him did not want
him to meddle with that matter. He
further AYERS that his oath of office
does not state that he shall regard it
as his duty to enforce the city or
dinsnoes.

coed about this matter as they shouldY

1t aud II they really mean business
which verv much doubt. let them
do as any law-abiding citizen la. to
do in such cases, - was the wsy His
Honor put It.
He then took occasion to say that
he gave Mr.. Hair credit for mpch
OF this discussion and he said Mr.
Hair had the power for six months
when he was acting Mayor TO enforce
this sams ordinance, but that he did
nothing whatever to have the nlaces
comply with the law. He even went
SO far MS to say that Mr.. H,ir WAS m

fakes which are here to fleece tbs
people during the fair even though
the ci Y attorney had given a written
opinion that il was in direct violation
ot the law governing such matters all
that the management of the fa,r
might have mora funds for use. He
reiterated this charge and frequently

there may be nothing come from the
visit to Oregon OF Hartman. the -sil.
road magnate. yet after all 1t has
given US chance to see him at a
shorter rance and perhaps some Of our
ideas regarding him may experience
somewhat Of change. Certain it is
that he is practical fnanoier and
he does not take many things for
granted. He may have concluded
that his days for having q monopoly
on Oregon transportation facilities
are numbered and that he had bet
ter get more closely in touch with the
masses, or lose his prestige. As q
matter Of fact. the people OF this
great commonwealth are just about
ready to welcome any wholesome rail-
road competition, no matter from
Whist source it comes. They realize
only too well that the future develop
ment and growth OF the state are
dependent very largely upon this very
matter and that the sooner We have
good competition, jast so soon may
we expect things to go ahead. There
can be no gsinssyiug the statement
that We need and must have more and
better means Of carrying our pro-
ducts TO the great markets.

When the Jam Goes Out.

Log jams are not an abnormal part
of the rive1man's work, as most peo-
pie suppose, but a regular incident of
the days business. In the breaking
of them the jam crew must be quick
and sure. l know of no finer sight
than the going out of a tall jam.
The men pry, heave and tug some
times for hours. Then all at once
the apparently solid surface begins
to creak and settle. The men zig
gag rapidly to shore. A crash and
spout of waters marks where the first
tier is already topping into the cur
rent. The front melts like sugar.
A vast, formidable movement agi-
tates the brown tangle as far as you
can see. And then with another
sudden and mighty crash the whole
river bursts into a torrent of motion.
If everything has gone well the
men are all safe ashore, leaning on
their peavies, but ready at any in
slant to hasten out for the purpose
of discouraging by quick, hard work
any tendency to plug on the part of
the moving timbers. l have seen
men out of bravado jump from the
breast of a jam, just as it was break
ing down to a floating log ahead,
thus to be carried in the sweep and
rush far down the river. A single
slip meant death.-From Jack Boyd:
Master Riverman," by Stewart Ed
ward White, in The Outing Magazine.

WENT TO TEA
And 1t Wound Her Bobbin.

Tea drinking frequently affects
people as badly as coffee. A lady in
Salisbury, Md, says that she was
compelled to abandon the use of cot
fee a good many years ago, because
it threatened to ruin her health and
that she went over to tea drinking,
but finally she had dyspepsia so bad
that she had lost twenty-five pounda
and no food seemed to agree with
her.
She further says: "At this time |
was induced to take up the famous
food drink, Postum, and was so much
pleased with the results that | have
never been without it since. COM
menced to improve at once, -egained
my twenty-five pounds of flesh and

MURDER MERCHANT IN GARDEN.

in His Wife's Presence.


Pelham, N. while walking in
his garden after dinner at his home,
The Roses, Julius T. Rosenheimer, a
wealthy resident of Pelham, and Sec
rotary of the London Needle Com
pany, was murdered by two men who
sprang from the bushes and attacked
him with a blunt instrument which
the police think vas a heavy, short
handled sledge, such as is used in
trimming stone.
Almost before Rosenheimer had
time to cry out to his wife, who was
only a few feet away, his skull was
rushed in. Mrs. Rosenheimer faint
ed, and she was in such a state of
collapse as to be unable to give
other than a disconnected story of
The crime.
1t was learned from members of
The family that Rosenheimer and his
wife were out walking along what
they call the / ny path in the rear
Of the house, when Mr.. Rosenheimer
saw two men step into the path.
who are those men coming this
way?" exclaimed Mrs. Rosenheimer,
as she clutched her husbands arm.
Il don't know who they can be-, ="
replied the needle manufacturer.
Just wait here and 1 will go and
see."
Rosenheimer, who was sixty years
old, had only gone a few steps when
the men sprang upon him, and his
wife heard him exclaim:
"Oh, mother! They are killing
me-"
Mrs. Rosenheimer shouted for as
sistance, and tLen fell in the path in
a faint.
