UNCLE SAM TO NAB
LIQUOR BARRELS
Agents Must Seize Emptied
Barrels on Which Marks
Remain

The United States Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue, Royal e. cabell.
has sent from Washington an order
to revenue agents all over the coun-
try TO enforce law which has prac-
tlcally been forgotten for more than
twenty years. Should this law really
be enforced Il would cause a big stir
among railroad and steamship lines
and among dealers In liquor. This
law provides for coniscating railroad
cars, steamships, wagons, horses, har-
ness and the like under certain con-
ditions.
OF recent years there has grown up
business more or less extensive OF
taking empty liquor barrels and
sweating" out the liquor which has
| soaked into the slaves Al first
thought Il would seem that the
amount of liquor procured in this
manner would not be worth while.
but Commissioner Cabell is authority
for the statement that liquor dealers
are even now clamoring for a larger
allowance on account OF soakage. On
q barrel OF liquor the Government
allows S1.l0 TO be deducted from the
value. in determining the amount OF
revenue stamps, for such soakage.
The liquor men claim that this is not
enough.
Certain concerns have agents going
about the country all the time buying
fup empty barrels and casks. These
are shipped to the shops or factories
OF tho concerns and there the liquor
Is steamed out OF the staves Tho
liquor thus obtained Is sold to recti-
fiers, and by them is mixed with good
liquor and resold without revenue
being paid on Il. The Government
wants this revenue.
Section 1894 OF the Revised Statutes
of the Federal Code provides that
: when casks are emptied and the
marks not destroyed the casks shall
be forfeited TO the government.
Further on IN this same section II ia
provided that such casks shall not be
transported in any manner whatso-
ever. The law sets forth that every
boat, railroad car. cart. dray, wagon
or other vehicle, and all horses and
other animals used IN carrying or
transporting the same. shall be for
feited to the United States"

PORTLAND PLANS
Big APPLE SHOW

Portland will have big apple show
in November. Former apple shows
held here will fade into insignificance
in comparison.
The show will assume National i'm
portance, because of the prominence
of Oregon as an apple state. While the
display will not be in any way a rival,
in competitive sense, of the National
Apple Show at Spokane, it is expected
| that in few years it will equal even
that event in Importance, for it is in
| tended to add to the scope of the show
and make it an annual affair.
The Oregon State Horticultural
Society planned the coming apple
show, but the hearty cooperation and
| backing of all the business interests of
the city, the Commercial Club, the
hotel men and others have been secured
and all are working with enthusiasm.
The Commercial Club has offered a
$l00 trophy for the best showing of so
boxes of apples. The Hotel Oregon
has offered a $50 trophy. Other offers
of financial assistance are being made
and even thus early there is no
doubt of the success of the affair, judg-
ing from the general enthusiasm and
| liberal backing.
The November apple show will mark
| the quarter centennial of the Oregon
State horticultural Society, and special
exercises will be held on that account.
1t is thought nothing could be more
fitting to celebrate the completion
of the twenty-ffth year of the
society's existence than the launching
Of big apple show that will be held
each year, spreading the fame of Ore
CONS fruit.
| Fifty-box exhibits from the apple
districts of the state will be arranged
for and in this way the whole state
will enter into the show and partic'
ipate freely in the competition fol-
prizes.
The hotel men of the city have named
special committee consisting of Phi
Metschan, Jr. G. j. Kaufman, E. D.
Jorgensen and M. G. Dickerson. This
committee was busy yesterday, ant
the hotels already are lined up for the
apple show. The we'll known hosts il
offering trophies for the best apples
and a good-natured rivalry has beer
engendered in this way that will g
far toward making the show grea
success.
Commercial bodies outside of Port
land it is believed will donate trophie
for county displays. They will b,
invited to do so soon, so that the pro
moters will know what to depend upon
President Atwell, of the Horticul
tural Society, leaves Saturday for th
East, but he will return a full mont
before the apple show opens ant
mean while will be busy with plans 70
its success. .-Oregonian.
