A Law Oregon Needs.

Portland Journal: The postmas-
ter-general estimates that the people
of the United States are fleeced out
of $3OO.OOO,OOO annually by bogus
corporations.
The sum is one-third the entire
taxable property of Oregon. 1t is
four-fifths the whole cost of the
Panama canal
Swindling the unwary on such a
scale constitutes a national scandal
1t is done by. corporations that are
allowed to enter upon business with
out asests. The process is the sale
of mining stocks, apple land stocks,
stocks based on bogus inventions and
an infinite variety of worthless Sc
curities.
The method is to get a charter
from the state, fit up an office with
desk and chair, issue a glittering
prospectus, and with hot air as the
chief capital open up business with
servant girls widows and others un-
sophisticated in ways that are dark
and tricks that are vain.
The Olcott bill proposes to make
every Oregon corporation honest. 1t
proposes to prevent crooked corpora
tions from being organized in this
state. 1t ought to be passed with an
overwhelming majority.
Is there anybody in Oregon who
thinks a crooked corporation should
he licensed by the state to swindle
The people of the state?

tion of both cities was centered in the

SNAKE FACTORY FOR JOHN ID.
Employees Find Way to Make Good
Money From BOunties.

Tarrytown, N. Y.-To rid his ex-
tensive estate of snakes which invest
ed it's wilder parts when he bought it,
John d. Rockefeller offered laborers
on the place bounty of 25 cents for
every dead snake brought in. Re-
Gently the number of reptiles present
ed for redemption became so large
that the curiosity of the estate man
agement was excited.
Detectives who have been guarding
the grounds since the outbreak of la
Dor troubles there investigated con-
ditions, with the result that evidence
developed of the existence of perni-
ciously prolific snake hatchery on or
near the premises. The snake bounty
has been abolished.

lengthy night messsg ges which, If they did
not bring help, at least contributed to
keeping people from selling.
The technical condition Of the market is
not strong traders have been so much
ntimidated that speculative short inter

turn out that the large speculative long
interest IN certain hands holds largely the
legitimate short interest against surplus
crop and stocks Market next week Will

in the market as stated above is so small
that there is not much to arrange and all
depends on the doings Of the controlling

looks for an acreage reduction between .
