ATTACK UPON PURE
FOOD AND DRUGS ACT

New Orleans, February 10.-An attack
on the constitutionality Of the national
pure food and drugs act, as embodied In
exceptions taken by counsel for millers in
the so-called ''bleached -FOUR case,
proved futile in SO far as the decision Of
the United States district court goes here.
Judge Foster tonight overruled the ex-
ceptions, arguments on which had ex-
tended throughout the day.
Attorney Pierce Butler. appointed as
special counsellor in tho case by the de-
partment OF Justice, led the fight in be-
half of the government.
Just what course will now be pursued
by the millers has not been definitely an
nounced.
Argument by Attorney A. z. Helm Of
Wichita, Kan, on the exceptions filed by
the Aetna Mills and Elevator company,
occupied the attention of the court dur
ing both morning and afternoon sessions.
In the bill OF exceptions 1t Ii commended:
First. that the pure food and drugs act
Of June 30, 1906. IL unconstitutional be-
cause 1t is q violation Of Article Of Sec
ton 8, paragraph 8 Of the Constitution Of
the United States; II q violation of Ar
ticle Of the amendment, and of Article
10 Of the constitutional amendment; Sec
ond, that the law IL uncertain and In
definite az whole that 1t does not de1ue
any standing, grade or quality: and
further, that for these reasons the court
before which tho present suit wa
brought has no Jurisdiction.
Mr.. Helm argued at length on thsse
points. One Of his principal arguments
was to the effect that Congress has never
relegated the power to construct Such Z
law as the pure food and drugs act, ard
that in doing 30 Congress went far -
yond its powers.

ond, that the hank Issued on Frank Con-
gers check two New York drafts for
5000 each payable to II. G. Moe. Taken
with the cancelled checks and drafts al
ready put in evidence, these entries con-
Sdtnted the strongest corrpborative evil
dence of Noes story yet presented.
hiram G. Moe was allowed to leave the
stand late this afternoon after IL hours
of direct and crossc-examinstion
The defense had its turn with Moe to-
day and they left untouched not an in
cident Of his SO years of life that might

MANY ARRIVALS.

Spring travel has certainly COM
menced, and people are heading out
into the country, spying around for op-
portunities, Judging from the number
of passengers that file off the train
every evening, and from the long list
of names that decorate the register of
the two hotels daily. If prospective
homeseekers are heading this way this
early, rush is to be expected as soon
as milder weather sets in. A large
addition to the population is expected
this year. Word has been spread
broadcast that the railroads are OPEN
ing up an almost virgin country in
Okanogan, that there are advantages
and opportunities here only to be found
in new country, and which exist no
where else in the state, and that at
tracts new blood and new people.
While people are invited ITO come,
build homes and grow up with the
country, there is no desire to give the
impression that success is to come to
the new arrival without eXertion. The
man who comes inio the Okanogan
country expecting to pick up dollars
on the highway, and to suddenly ac-
quire an independency without labor,
is doomed to disappointment, and those
afflicted with such an illusion are not
wanted 1t is the morally upright, en-

who are wanted, and no section of the
state holds out greater promise to that
class of people. Nothing can be at
tanned in this world, unless it may be
the penitentiary, without the applica-
| tion of intelligent labor, anG the man

There seems to be quite lot of people
going to that country. | have people
stopping with me every day who are
headed that way. There seems to be
quite lot of land to be bought there,
but in large tracts, costing from $40,-
600 or $4,000 tract. There are a
number OF people from the north pass
ing through here every day, and all
seem to think Mexico is the only place
to invest in lands.
