GETTING To BORAH.
Evidence in the Trial So Far Has Been
Preliminary.

Boise. Idaho, Sept. 2 7.--After having
spent all of the previous day in bring
ing out the testimony of thirteen per-
sens who admitted they had taken out
claims to timber lands for the express
purpose of selling them to- members
of an alleged land grabbing conspiracy,
the government attorneys in the trial
of United States Senator Borah turned
the line of evidence into new channels
which they claim will tend to affect
the defendant senator. The testimony
adduced has been confined to the ac-
tivitieS of John 1. Wells and Louis NJ.
Pritchard, two of the men under iu-
dictment. None of the dummy en-
trymen examined on Wednesday was
cross examined and the testimony that
they received from Wells the money
with which to prove their claims, and
from Pritchard the $3.50 bonus for sur
rendering their titles went uncontro-
verted. Just prior to adjournment the
prosecuting attorneys identified the
signatures of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg and William Sweet to q
document said to have been a contract
1t is alleged that Steunenberg and
Sweet jointly furnished the money with
which the first alleged fraudulent
transactions were carriend on.
The government has divided its case
into three sections. The first deals
with the claims which were turned over
is said to have acted as dummy trus-
tee for the Barber Lumber company.
All the testimony bearing on these
claims will be taken before the next set
is gone into. The second set of claims,
it is alleged were handled through
Horace s. Rand of Burlington. Iowa.
The third and last set were handled by

NO MORE SHIP BUILDING.
Pacific Coast Yards Can't Compete
With Those i'm the East.

New York, Sept. 27.-Henry T. Scott.
who was president of the Union Iron
works of San Francisco, when that
concern built the battleship Oregon
said in an interview here. as to the
approaching cruise of the United States
battleship fleet to the Pacific coast
that the navy of the future will have to
be almost entirely the product of east
ern ship yards, as labor conditions on
the wstern coast make economical con-
the western coast make economical con-
Conditions are getting worse instead
of better in the labor market in the
west" said Mr.. Scott. with the added
cost of freight on the materials neces-
sary for battleship construction and the
fact that with shorter work day our
mechanics receive 25 per cent higher
pay than in the east, it is impossible
for western shipbuilders to compete
with those of the Atlantic coast.
"An the battleships the United States
will ever have on the Pacific ocean will
have to be built on the Atlantic sea-
board and the people of the coast are
glad that the fleet is to be sent around
there"

BEEF IS HIGHER.
Still Another Advance in Price Is
Threatened in New York.

New York. Sept. 27.-Housekeepers
throughout this city are complaining
over an increase in the price of beef
and beef products. There has been an
increase in the cost to the retailer of
one cent a pound. 1t is understood
among the retail dealers that the price
will go up within the next month half
cent, if not a cent more.
The wholesalers give many reasons
for the increase in prices. One of the
principal ones is that the farmers have
had to fatten their cattle on grain in
stead of grass, as usual at this time CT
year owing to the long -drouth last
summer. ON the other hand, it is con-
tended in some quarters that the price
of beef has been raised by the big
western packers because of the renew
ed agitation of the question of govern
ment prosecution of big corporations
The prices for lamb, veal and mutton
are practically stationary and are no
higher than usual at this season of
the year

Ivory as a Tonic.

"Some physicians" said a druggist,
give an infusion of ground ivory and
milk in the spring to stimulate and
strengthen listlcss patients. 1t is a
good remedy, for all l know to the
contrary. Certainly it is an ancient
one"
He opened medical magazine and
pointed to this quotation from Schro-
der's Zoology, work published in
1887:
"Elephas (elephant)-His teeth are
only used in medicine and vulgarly
called ivory. The virtues: 1t cools and
dryes, moderately binds cuts, strength
ems the inward parts. 1t is good for
the jaundice, it takes away pains and
weakness of the stomach, it heals the
epileptic. resists pOysons, drives of
spring melancholie. The dose is half a
dram" -Philadelphia Bulletin.
