OLEOMARGARTNE MAY BE VEIL
 LOW.-An oleomargarine law, passed by the Minnisota Legislature in 1911, prohibited the manufa cture and sale of oleomargarine "of any, shade or
 tint of yellow" One Hanson sold this act, and for the crime was con victed. He appeals to the Supreme Court in State Vs. Hanson, 136 North western Reporter, 412 contending that
 the law is unconstitutional. The court holds that any law enacted to prevent 1 fraud or deceit would be valid but that this. law does not make the in tent to deceive defraud essential to a conviction, and must therefore fall. Oleomargarine is made to resemble anybody, but because the public buys the substitute if it has the yellow shade, but refuses to buy if it has a light shade The intent is not to de ce1ve the public, but to make an ar ticle which will find market. The sales of the 1ight-shaded oleomarga- ! riae are but 10 per cent, as against, 90 per cent for the darker shade The direct and necessary result of the statute is to prohibit. ct least 90 per cent. of the manufacture and. sale of 1 the product The yellow color of oIeo- margarine is the result of judicious selection and combination of fats, oils and other necessary ingredients. No colorihg matter is used. The result 1 is 8 thoroughly 1ea1thflil product that resembles yellow butter in appearance
 and texture, tastes like butter, and l sible to make it pure white or free from slight yellow shade tint. It being a wholesome article of food, tn e 1 statute prohibing those who want. it from obtaining it cannot be upheld;. no question of public health being. inVo1v- | ed. The court says: The high price of, butter is notorious. The poor man must often go without, or buy the in ferior grades, while people of moderate
 means find good butter a luxury they can i'll afford. There is a large and growing demand for a butter substi- | tute that. will taste and look like but l ter, and that can bt purchased sat a 1 less price. Apparently, judging from the fact that sales of the ight-coIor- ed oleornargarine are but 10 per cent ! of the sales of the darker yellow, the l people want their butter substitute to resemble butter in color as well as in l texture and taste. The Legislature says to them by this act: You cannot i have what you want; you must either 1 buy butter made from cream, or you l must buy oIeomargarine that is White. l Unless the prejudice of the people l against the white color is rem owed. this 1 is a command that they buy butter, and pay higher prices. It is impos- sible to appreciate why the public should not have a free choice, why butter should not be sold on it's merits to those who want it, and why those who want oleomargarine of yell

ARCHAIC COURT RULES.-In the case of Monarch Vacuum Cleaner Co. Ns. Vacuum Cleaner Co.,, 194 Federal Reporter, TYP, Judge Hand, in discuss ing the thirty ninth equity rule, au- thOriZing a defendant to avail himself of the matters of defense previously pleadable in bar by alleging the same in the answer, makes the following remarks: .'I hope that within a few months all these archaisns may yield to a new set of rules, which it will be less labor to resuscitate and apply when the need arises. Everybody now has lost touch with the spirit of the old. It is quite obvious here that nef- ther pleader intended to separate statement from. charge in the bill, or pleading from discovery in the ans wer. The rules of equity pleading fit the pleadings no better than small clothes would suit professional cos tune for the conunsel.

B. H. s. NOTES.

On account of the recent defeat of B. H. S. by New Britain, some are inclined to knock our eleven All though we admit we were fairly beat were greatly against US. For instance, on their home field New Britain had 32 men, compared to our IT, but before the battle ended, 28 of theirs had been used to not only smash our plays, but the players as well. I1nbued with the wild desire to mix things, on account of their numbers. they laid low our best men and clinched their victory.

MINING FOR TIN
 0N PENINSULA
Ninety-three Tons of Placer Tin Shipped Worth Forty-eight
 Thousand Dollars

After waiting all winter to sc- cure returns upon the tin orc shipped to the states last fall by w. w. Johnson, of the Buck Creek Dredging Co.,, the Nugget has sc- cured the information direct from MT. Johnson of the Union Con- struction company, that installed one of it's successful mechanical diggers on Buck creek last sum- mer, to work the placer tin dcpos- it's.
 The returns for the 93 tons of ore after the cost of shipping same from Seattle to Liverpool, England, shelter charges, insur- ance, etc., was $48,OOO net to the dredge owners.
 After going over the cost of extraction, cost of shipping ore to smclter at Liverpool, insurance, and depreciation on drcdgc, ma chincry, etc, the Nugget learns that stream tin is worth $ii0 per ton. The large deposit up in the Buck creek district, is such that the drcdge will average about three tons of orc for every twen- ty-fOur hour run.
 Last summer the Union Con- struction company brought in a dredge for extracting the placer tin from the gravel on Buck creek Conditions were such that a wag- on road had to Dc constructed ov- CT the divide from Cape York to Buck creek, and thousands of sacks and many loads of gravel were required 10 construct a road over. the tundra divide between the tin bearing creek and coast in order 10 take over the drcdgc and machinery.
 The work was rushed through, the drcdgc landed, installed and 35 days run made before the close of the season. The result . of those 35 days being 93 tons of ] stream tin concentrates, a form :+of metallic tin known as cassiler- ite, and minus the cost of extrac- ton and freight from York to Se- attle, amounting in all to some thing like SlO,OOO, the orc net ted S48,OOO.
 MT. w. w. Johnson, of the Un- ion Construction company, own CTS. of the dredge on Buck creek, reports they expect to get in a good long season this year and arrangements are now completed to start up the dredgc on Buck.

REINDEER HERDS
 SALVATION NATIVE
L Few Years Hence the Eskimo Will be An Independent and
 SeIf-supportins People

The reindeer service is an in- tegral part of the educational system of northern and western Alaska. The district superin- tcndents of schools are also SUD- crinlendcnts of the reindeer ser vice; the teachers in charge of the United States public schools in the regions affected by the rein deer industry are eX officiO local superintendents of the reindeer herds in the vicinity of their schools.
 The reindeer are distributed among the natives by a system of apprenticeship. At each station, promising and ambitious young natives are selected by the local superintendent as apprentices for a term of four years, receiving al the end of each year the num- Der of deer prescribed by the rules and regulations of the reindeer service. A native thus becomes the absolute owner of reindeer only after he has served an ap- premiership of four years and proven his efficiency and fidelity. In June, 1911, there were in Alaska 33,629 reindeer, distribut- ed among 46 herds. Of the 33,- 629 reindeer, 2O,O7l, or 60 per cent. are owned by 46O natives. The reindeer increase with great rapidity. Their meat is in de- mand by both whites and natives throughout northern Alaska; the skin, with it's long hair, furnishes he most satisfactory material for winter clothing. It is probable that the expOrtation of reindeer meat will eventually become an industry of extensive proportions.
