RECORD OF THE COURTS,
Criminal Court.

The entire venirc in the first division of the criminal court was exhausted yes terday morning in an effort to obtain d jury to try the George Jost case. All though the name of every man snm- noned was called and examined as to his qualifications as a juror most of them either had fixed opinions as to the case or were related to the defendant, or else had some excuse to offer which disquali- fled him. Only eleven members of the jury were secured during the morning. Tho jury was completed yesterday after noon at o'clock, however, and the Jost case will come up the first thing this morning before Judge Dan A. Greene
 Jost is charged with having killed Con stable Hamilton at North Birmingham on the day after the last county election He has already had one hearing, which suited in a mistrial. The case will be called again this morning at 990 o'clock.

handled The pure food authorities nave gone over the list and have deslghateu fe,y particular dyes which may oe used pending further investigation. IneIe are three shades of red, and one each of orange, yellow, green and olue on lni9 privileged list.
 Some of these dyes are very expensive. But, as a leading candy maker has s"ip recently, one cannot expect to get a tasteless. odorless, harmless dye for the price he pays for barn roof paint. The candy makers are trying to do what they can to help out the pure food movement although they are depending on thelr own experts opinion about the harmlessness of certain coloring matters. The cheap candy makers who put unwholesome goods on the market have no fiercer foes than those confectioners who are organ ized into the national association.
 The pure food law is not yet in per feet operation, for it requires time to pass upon all the details which arise from day to day and the department IS not trying to disturb business by sudden revolutions in any particular branch or trade where there is an honest question raised. The force of inspectors is be- ing organized but it will be some eime more than a year perhaps, before the force is completed and is in perfect work ing order.
 In the meantime it is interesting to watch the attitude of the general public. No man is concerned with the details of the manufacture of the chair on which he sits, the table from which he eats, or the cloth with which the table Is spread. But every man as, or ought to nave, a lively interest in knowing the processes by which the food he eats is changed tc ray form the dish served at table. As the pure food law is aimed solely to protect him from eating in- furious food unawares. the average citi- zen will approve it's theory But what he will say when his canned peas are no longer green, when his jellies and jams cost twice as much as they did, and when the pie famine stalks gauntly through the land where pie was wont to be plentiful--for that we must wait awhile.
 Let everybody remember, as we go along, that the words "Guaranteed un der the Food and Drugs Act. Serial No, 3o5, dc not mean that the government guarantees the purity of the product The government guarantees nothing under the pure food laws. The legend simply means that the concern which manufacturers the product has filed with the department of agriculture a guarantee that it will so make it's products as to conform to the provisions of the law as construed by the officers in authority. When such guarantee is made to the department the guarantor's name is entered and he is given serial number which he may use on the labels of his products. The guar antee'' label means that the manufact- urer has pledged himself to the govern ment to obey the law, not that the gov ernment has examined the product and found it up to the standard. Thus far TO serial number has been granted to the great manufacturing concerns which make the filing for our national pies.

L. ]. Adler of Vicksburg arrived here yesterday afternoon. bringing with him the gold watch worn by Lex Brame. Jr the Jackson attorney who disappeared from Vicksburg so mysteriously several weeks ago, and turned it over to the fam fly. Until now the wife and family of Frame have clung to hope that he had wandered away because of temporary insanity lrduced by the excessive heat of the day of his disappearance, but tine finding of his watch which has his name in the back. in the Yazoo canal. where le waters had receded convinces them all that he is dead. However, they do not take any stock in the suicide theory. There was no reason why he should have shielded.

MISSING MAN TURNS UP

Jackson, Miss, September 25.-(Special.) Dan samuels, the negro condemned to die on the gallows here yesterday noon for the murder of MT. Robert Berryhill, near Raymond, on the Fourth of July had a very close call. The jailer had gone to the condemned mans cell and had him dressed in a new suit of clothes. The scaf- ford, which is built in the third story of the jail. was in readiness, and the arrival of Sheriff Spann was momentarily ex- pected, when messenger arrived from the capitol with instructions to hold up till next February The respite was granted at the earnest solicitation of a brother of the murdered man, who has an idea that Samuels will yet tell who assist ed in the murder. However, when mo- mentarily expecting to be jerked into eter- nifty, Samuels insisted that he is innocent of the crime. He declared he was ready to go and seemed to be disappointed that the execution was postponed till after the next term of court at Raymond.

GETTING READY FOR
THE SEASON
EGO TAKE FOR THE YEAR HAS
NOT YET BEGUN AND DEPART.
MENT is GETTING READY FOR
BIG SEASON.

Master Flsh NWueh van bUHVh ~
receiving word every day from the men
in the state hatchery department that
the twelve different stations In the state
are getting ready to handle the eggs
which will be swampcd from tho salmon
this season. At no point IN the state
have any eggs been taken or received
into the hatcheries, At the Clackamas
and Salmon river stations the work will
begin earliest in the season, The eggs
taken so far at these places have been
taken solely for the purpose OF deter
mining their condition The salmon at
the Claekamas station near CaEadero
are not yet ripe,
From Bill Smith, who is in charge OF
the Clackamas station, who reported TO
the Fish Warden yesterday, comes the
Information that there are plenty OF fish
in the stream there but that they nrc
not yet ripe. He states that there will
be no difficulty in taking the salmon
as the sein has been tried and found to
work perfectly. At the Clackmas station
there is an arrangement OF two sets OF
racks and place to hold the salmon
in until they mature. This station Is
only temporary one, the permanent
station being located 80 miles further
up the river but as the Portland General
Electric Company has a G0-toot dam at
this point no fish could 90 above Il this
year. The company, however, is blasting
fshway over the dam and Smith in
forms Mr.. Van Dusen that the work Is
being done at the upper end OF the fish
ladder so that the blasting will not in
teriere with the work OF the state in
taking eggs. Blasting in or near
the water has proved in the past to be
tho best way to drive fish entirely out
OF u stNam
The II Oregon hatcheries are capable
oi handling 80 million eggs and Mr.. Van
Dusen thinks that should everything be
favorable that this amount will be
taken this season. ..
Should the greater per cent OF this
take be hatched and liberated TO the
streams there should be no difficulty
| with slack salmon season as this one
/, reported to be. But among hatchery
men this IL not considered to be dull
fishing season; it is generally believed
to be late season. Reports coming
from Alaska bear this out. The run u
.almon there has been kept down by
low temperatures and at the time the
Inst reports were sent in the run was in
creasing,
The work in the Office OF the Fish
Warden is just beginning to commence

NAVAL STATION FOR
ASTORIA
ENERGETIC MOVEMENT BY THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO Sc
CURE SELECTION FOR MOUTH OF
COLUMBIA RIVER.

An energetic movement is on foot by
the Astoria Chamber of Commerce to
secure the new naval station to be sit
uated ON the Pacific Coast for the mouth
Of the Columbia. Secretary Whyte and
other members of that body believe that
ii will be located here, and they are
exerting every effort to hay this point
chosen by Admirals Capp and Cowles,
who are on their way west to choose
the best point for the station
Secretary Whyte, of the Chamber OF
Commerce, stated last night that let
tiers had been sent to Senators Fulton
and Bourne, the congressman from this
state Portland Chamber ot Commerce,
Board of Trade, Commercial Club, and
other bodies to cooperate with the As
toria organization to present the mat
ter to the War Department. Letters
were also sent to Washington, one OF
them going to the Secretary of War,
regarding the selection of the naval sta
tion for the Columbia harbor.
The recent war talk in regard to
Japan has brought home to the govern
ment the fact that tine Pacific Coast is
sadly deficient in regard to naval sta
tions. The result is that the selection
of a site for station will be made
Immediately in order that its completion
may be accomplished as early as pos
sible.
Admiral Cowles, one of the two army
men who will make the selection, is
brother n-law of President Roosevelt,
and there is no doubt that matters will
be rushed through as soon as possible.
The men will visit the lower part OF
California, San Francisco and the mouth
OF the Columbia within the next few
weeks.
1t is the object of the Chamber of
Commerce to bring all possible pressure
to bear upon the army men to have this
point selected for the naval station. As
the Columbia harbor is the only point
which could be selected between Puget
Sound and San Francisco, and there are
70 harbors of Importance below the lat
ter point, everything points toward this
city as being the point for the naval
station.
Puget Sound already has naval sta
tion at Bremerton, and San Francisco
is also fairly well equipped in this re-
gard. The decision therefore practically
lies between a southern California port
and the Columbia River. Figuring that
the disatnce from Astoria to San Fran
cisco, or to Bremerton, is greater than
from San Francisco to lower California,
it appears that everything fayors the
Columbia river for the naval station,
especially in view of the harbor and
resources at this point.
