ENCOURAGE ELECTRIC SIGNS.
Help to Make City Light and Pleasant
During Night Hours.

Mayor Rodgers, City Attorney
Keyes, and the members OF the COM
mittee on the revision OF the city or
dinances spent the most of the day
yesterday going through the city laws
and making an endeavor to sort the
wheat from the chaff, says the Salem
Statesman. 1t has been known for a
long time that many of the ordinances
governing the city are obsolete and 1t
II believed that these should be weed
ed out and repealed or new ones
drafted to take their places.
1t is announced that a new sign
ordinance will be drafted to replace
the old, providing that Illuminated
signs, with certain restrictions may
be used by everybody that desires to
make use of them. 1t Is stated that
this concession is made for the rea-
son that the electric signs help to
light the streets and give town a
bright, CHEEKY appearance at night
that nothing else gives.

GREEK HAsusH DRUG.
Culture and Exportation OF This
Strong Narcotic Plant Growth.


Strong Narcotic Plant Growth.
Consul Edward ]. Nathan, OF Pa
tras, contributes the following report
on the Greek preparation and expor-
tatlon OF the hashish drug:
Hashish. that strange drug which
has given our language It's word as
sassln--a man so frenzled by the drug
that he accomplishes murder--and
which is used by the Persians Turks
and Egyptians in a manner akin to
the use of opium by the Chinese Is
the product OF plant grown In large
quantities in the Psloponnesus
(southern Greece) in the district
about Tripolitza. The plant grows to
height of about four feet and It's
branches are thickly covered with
small leaves and studded with tiny
seeds.
The entire plant. stalk and branches
Ia cut within few inches OF the root
and laid out In the sun to dry. The
branches are then rubbed to separate
the seeds and these In turn are ground
into fine powder, which constitutes
the drug. The best variety of the
plant grows in the district OF Manti-
nea, and the center for export is
Triolitza, from which place 1t is sent
to the ports Of Kalamata and Naupli,
and from thence abroad. 1t Is esti-
mated that about 100000 okas (265,-
900 pounds) OF the drug, valued at
100000 drachmas (about s350,000)
are annually sent from Tripolitza,
The drug has the power of induc-
ing sleep and producing pleasant and
fantastic dreams. Continued use Of
hashish renders its devotees wild and
restless, and results In a complete
wreck of their mental and physical
constitution. For this reason the
Egyptian government has prohibited
the Importation OF the drug, and re-
Gently entered into convention with
Greece to prevent its expectation from
there to Egypt, where the consumers
Of hashish are very numerous.
The drug is practically never used
in Greece, but is now exported to the
various ports of England, Austria,
France and italy, and from there
much, no doubt, ultimately finds Its
way to Egypt.

CERTIFICATES couNrERrErrED
Bogus Paper Appears In Circulation

Counterfeit cashiers checks on the

was cleverely done. the fact that they
were not good was quickly detected.

dent, and J. II. Clinton. jr., cashier.
were procured, and there ls nothing
In the signatures that would Gauss
suspicion. The numbers OF the
checks, however. instead of being
stamped as on the originals, are
written In ing, and In the counter
feits the word "countersign" appears
instead OF "countersigned." A seal
had evidently been secured by those
making the checks, but II is not the
seal OF the bank. Only the letters
"City Nat" are visible In the stamp:
There is a very slight difference In the
type, but It Is not such as would be
distinguished easily.
There is no clue as to where the
checks came from. but II is thought
that they were not printed in Boise.
The paper Is water marked "Colum-
bia bond" n paper very generally
used for such purposes. The prompt
action of Cashier Clinton will, II is
thought. prevent any widespread
circulation OF the counterfeit checks.

ALL MEATS CHEAPER.
Kansas City Markets Show a Decline
| Except in Bacon.


The Kansas City Star says Of the
general decline in meat prices:
Bacon is the only kind OF meat
that is not cheaper in Kansas city
butcher shops than it was year
ago.
The butchers say bacon would be
cheaper If the people would learn
to eat ham and other parts of the
hog One butcher said he sold 100
pounds of bacon for every 20 pounds
of ham.
The tendency in Kansas City is to
make bacon more and more a staple
while other parts of the hog are in
less demand. The Arkansas hog
that runs to snout and bacon almost
exclusively cuts into marketable
meat much better than the Kansas
hog built short and heavy. There is
in South Missouri a race Of hogs Iiy-
ing on acorns and such forage as they
can find that, pound for pound, are
worth more just now than any 9TH
er breed of hogs that comes to this
market.
Pork lolns are quoted by the pack
ers today at s cents a pound. Not
very long ago they sold at 1871 sents
Spareribs have dropped from 9 cents
to cents a pound. Shoulders have
dropped even more in some instances.
Ham sell for about 20 per cent
of the old price, but bacon remains
at the top notch simply because peo-
pie buy more bacon than any other
kind of pork product.
Beef prices at the packing houses
are shaded from " cents to cent
below the price of last year at this
time. The decrease in the price of
beef is by no means as marked as the
falling off in pork prices, but the
packers are giving. the butchers the
benefit of part of what they have
taken off the prices paid the farm
er for the live animal. Ribs at whole

The case has been filed by Lizzie

Is generally recognized as one OF the

Milton,s Lemon Crop Ripe.

Milton's lemon crop, which so far
as we know consists Of exactly two
specimens OF this lucfous fruit, will
be ripe in about two weeks, when
the work of picking will commence.
Although the crop this season is
somewhat limited, the quality of the
fruit makes up for what there may
be lacking in quantity, the largest
specimen measuring 12hx4h, while
the other is a trifle smaller. The
fruit was raised by Mrs. M. ]. Black
on her place in this city. the tree be-
ing about Az feet high.
The question Of finding a market
is causing the grower considerable
uneasiness. Walla Walla last sum-
mer passed an ordinance taxing our
lemon and banana raisers $3.50 per
year for selling their product there.
which effectually closes that market.
She will probably ask for bids from
eastern wholesale houses and believes
that her product will command the
highest price.-Milton Eagle.
