Fred Jack. the immigration in

Friday. He says that there has
been added to the duties of immi-
grafton inspectors the hunting for
opium, as well as the hunting Of
Cinnamon. The importation Of OPT
um is prohibited by the custom
laws, and all opium found is confis-
Gated. The opium smokers want
the drug, and much is smuggled
into the country, some of which is
captured. The port of FL Paso,
and the border on each side Of the
city. is the favorite place for snug

signation from the immigration SER
vice. He has forty acres Of land
near Deming, with water enough
to raise crops. and has gone into

he can make as much money out of
this as he does out of the immigra-

RAIN IS BLESSING
THE GRAIN GROWERS

The rain for which the farmers of
Umatilla county and the whole of
eastern Oregon have been clamoring
for many weeks started to fall yes
terday afternoon and has been COM
ing down more or less persistently
since that time. The warm weather
which has accompanied the precipita-
ton is also welcome and it is estimat-
ed that the result will be beneficial to
the financial welfare of the county by
several hundred thousand dollars.
According to reports received from
different sections the rain has been
general throughout eastern Oregon.
In Pendleton .sS of an inch has fallen
during the present storm and in some
vicinities it is believed that the pre-
cipitation has been even greater.
The rain was particularly welcome
to the graingrowers in those sections
Of the county, west. northwest and
north Of this city In many places in
that belt of territory there had not
been enough rain prior to this to start
the grass.

MILLIONAIRE

London-An American millionaire

burglar.
The captured man, who gave the
name Of Jacob Gordon, only arrived
in this country from Argentina at the
end of August. He was charged at
Highgate with stealing jewels of the
value of $3.50 from the residence of
Miss Rhoda Hindley of Lightcliffe,
Shepherds Hill, Highgate, and also
with stealing jewelry of the value of
$3.50 from the residence of David

These houses were broken into last

WILL REMOVE SUCKERS
AND CARP FROM LAKES

Spokane, Wash.-Officers of the
Spokane Fish Protective association
have perfected plans to remove the
carp and suckers from the bass lakes
in Spokane county and will then ex-
tend their operations to other parts
Of Washington. This is the first or
ganized attempt to do his kind of
work in the northwest, and ii is eX-
pected that lake fishing will be great
ly improved as a result.
Fish Trap lake will be the first one
to be cleaned and then these lakes
will be taken in the order named:
also other lakes where the work can
be done without expense. The an
glers are enthusiastic over the plan
and many Of them have offered as
sistance in doing the work
Al Wiesemann, secretary of the as
sociation, and Game Warden Uhlig
will direct the work. The former
said in an interview:
1T is certain that when the carp
and suckers, both spawn eaters. are
removed from the lakes there will be
big increase in the number of eggs
that will mature each year
"The plan to use by the association
is to solicit the aid of the farmers
and others owning land on the lakes
and by the use of nets clean the lakes
of the scavengers. The carp and
suckers will be given to the farmers
for fertilizer.
"It is planned to do the work with
out any expense either to the asso-
citation or the property owners and
from present indications there will
be little trouble in securing the re-
quired help. The plan has been car
ried out successfully in the east and
we believe it will work in the north
west.
"It will require several years to ac-
complish results in some of the lakes,
The nets to be used by the association
will be furnished by the state fish
and game commission. 1t is planned
to have the work completed in six
weeks"

HOME METHODS IN THE FACTORY.

r. Every one knows what would happen
if housewife put down her fruit and
jellies by simply pouring them from the
kettle into the jars and allowing them
to stand with loose covers. Her fruit
would soon ferment and spoil. Cook
ing fats are just as liable to spoil, yet
most manufacturers OF lard and other
cooking fats pack their products in tubs
or loose-covered tins, exposed to air,
dust and odors.
Cottolene, however, is packed in pals
of special design, sealed absolutely air
tight, so that the makers guarantee
Cottolene to remain indefinitely as
sweet and as fresh as the day it was
made.
