CONGRESS WAS IN THE RIGHT
Complaint of Shawnee Milling
Company of Kansas Is
Dismissed.

Des Moines, la, May 19.-Judge
Smith Mcpherson, in federal court to-
day, dismissed the complaint Of the
Shawnee Milling Company of Kansas
and the Updike Milling Company of
Omaha, brought in behalf of the West
ern Milling Company, asking that
United States District Attorney Tenn
pie of Iowa be enjoined from seizing
the bleached -four shipped into Iowa.
The court upholds the federal rating
as to bleached -four The court does
not state whether the Sop process Of
bleaching flour is injurious, holding
that question is one for a jury. AS to
the right of Congress to enact the ma
tional pure food act, the court said:
Several states within the last few
years have enacted pure food statutes.
Congress on June 80, 1906, enacted
the statutes in question. All these
statutes were enacted to cure evils
well night intolerable that had grown
up during this age of greed and
avarice and commercialism, that has
made money getting the prime object
Of life with so many. 1t was soon
found that the states in some in
stances were disposed to condone as
to some articles of manufacture.
Thereupon Congress, on the theory of
an evil of national concern, enacted
the statute in question.
Congress is given power to provide
for the general welfare of the United
States. But if this legislation is sus-
tained it is because Congress has the
power TO regulate commerce among
the several states"

FORGERY OF CERTIFIED
CHECK AT TAOS BANK.
Passed on the Young Mems Christian
Association at DenVer-The
Amount was for $215.

Forgery of a certified check for $215
on the State Savings Rank of Taos,
and the obtaining of that amount OF
money in Denver on the same is the
sensation of the week throughout Taos
valley.
A clever piece of forgery was un-
earthed here last Monday, and it re-
manned for A. Clarence Probert, cash
ier of the State Savings bank to dis
cover the preparation of the double
crime of forgery and the obtaining Of
money under false pretenses, when a
forged certified check reached that
bank on May 2. Some sharp crooks
obtained blank printed check of the
State Savings bank evidently because
Taos is not located on railroad, and
used it successfully in Denver, Colo.
The check was cashed by the Denver
Young Mems Christian Association,
being made out payable to bearer and
signed by j. E. Smith, and endorsed
by J. E. Smith, Jr,, for $215. The
forger was a slick one. He presented
the check in Denver, April 23, thus
giving him nine days start before the
check reached the final point of inden-
tification at Taos.
The forger had numbered it $50"
with a numbering machine, and had
had rubber stamp made, bearing its
certification, which, however, is un-
like the one used by the State Savings
bank. Attached to the certificate was
forged signature of Henry Gonzales
name as assistant cashier of the bank,
and the criminal had also used a pro
ltectograph bearing the words, "Not
over two hundred and fifty dollars.
! The protectograph die was the same
face as that used by the savings bank
except that it cut deeper into the pa
per- Aside from the fact that "J. e
Smith" never had any account with
the State Savings bank, the forgery
though a clever one, was not smooth
enough to get by Cashier Probert's
watchful eye.

Probert will probably lead to some

BIG PROFIT IN COEUR

One Mining Property That Has Paid
More Than Eleven Million
Dollars in Dividends,

Spokane, Wash, May 10.-State-
ments field with the assessor of Sho-
shone county, Idaho, show that the
total net profits of the mines in the
Occur d'Alene district were approxi-
mately $2,OO0,OO0 in 1909, four of the
chief companies reporting as follows:
Federal Mining and Smelling Com
pany, Mace mine, $469, ,155.70; Ward

1896 The Morning mine at Mullan
was the only big producer worked at a
loss last year, the net amount of eX-
penditures over receipts being placed
at $5S,S22. The Bunker Hill and Sui
livan and the Hercules companies also
spent large amounts in improvements
and repairs. The dividend of the Bun
ker Hill and Sullivan mine for May
was $S1,750, the largest paid in several
years. The property has paid SILL
622,750 in dividends since becoming a
shipper and now occupies the 18th
place among dividend paying mines
in the United States. The claims on
which the mine is located were dis
covered by mule.

TEN THOUSAND MEN

Spokane, Wash, May 10.-Ten thou
sand men with $4,500,O0O worth of
equipment are working at various
points along the Columbia, Willamette

opened on May l. Fishermen returning
to Spokane report that not in 20 years

pack will be largest in the history OF

son marks the end of a bittle fight
between the authorities of Oregon
and the fishermen, in which Master
Fish Warden McAllister was the VIC
tor. He has dispatched two boats to
patrol the streams in that state, and
it is given out that arrests will follow
and violations of the law, which pro-
vides that fishing must cease at

state do not cover the Willamette

thorities of the state of Washington.

HALLEY'S COMET
AFFECTS MANS MIND.
Strange Manifestation of Heavenly
Visitor Upon Death of King Ed
ward and Ascension Of George V.

San Bernardino, Cal, May To-
While brooding over possible ill-effects
of the comets visit, Paul Hammerton,
sheep man and prospector, became
insane and cHlbcified himself according
to mining men who arrived here with
him. HammertOn was found where he
had nailed his feet and one hand to
a rude cross he had erected near a
gold claim last Friday
Although he was suffering intense
agony, Hammerston pleaded with his
rescurers to let him remain in his
spiked Imprisonment.
Since the visit of Comet A-191O,
Hammerton has been much alarmed
and when he learned that the earth
was scheduled to pass through the
tail of Halley's comet, his mind gave
way and he believed that the end of
the world was at hand.
GIowed Like a Red Ball.
New York, May 10.-That Halley's
comet behaved itself in an unusual
manner just about the time of the as
cension Of King George V. is the re-
port of scientists in Bermuda, brought
here by wireless from the steamship
Bermudan at sea. According to the
dispatches, the comet on the night of
the death of King Edward and the as
cension of his son, became visible in
Bermuda at 2 o'clock in the morning
and a decidedly red tinge was noted in
its tail. At 1880 that night the fort
at Hamilton Bermuda, began to fire
salute of 101 guns in honor of the
king. AS the last report died away
the observer saw a sudden flaring up
at the end of the comets tail The
head also glowed like a ball of red
fire
For five minutes, the phenomenon
lasted and was seen by a hundred ne
groes at work on the docks. They
were overcome with terror. They fell
on their knees and began to pray
thinking that the end of the world was
coming.
Many persons connected the strange
light with the death of King Edward
