ALMEDA DEVELOP.
MENT SATISFACTORY

The smelter of the Almeda Consol-
idated Mines company, which was
lately blown in, viii close down on
account of inability OF the company
to transact business while the receiv-
er, appointed at the instigatlon of
Ohio stockholders, is in charge of
their head office at Portland.
To those familiar with the situa-
tion at the Almeda, It appears ex-
tremely absurd that anyone, much
less a stockholder or group of stock
holders, would interfere with opera
tlon of the properties at a time, when,
after several years of development,
they were at last prepared for sue
cessful operation,
During 1911 the company carried
on a series of experiments for the
purpose of determining the exact
methods best adapted to their partlc-
ular conditions, with the result that
in the early spring Of this year they
began the re-arrangement of the
plant and since then crew has been
busy building additional bins, placing
new equipment and making all prep
arations for constant and economic
operation. Concentration tests made
by the small concentrating plant OF
the company at their properties dur
ing this year have proven satisfac'
tory and II has been rumored of late
that the company would begin con
structlon at once on a 200-ton con
centrating plant to be run in connec
tion with the 100ton smelter now II
operation In view OF these facts th'
Injustice of this action by Ohio stock
holders becomes thoroughly apparen
and II Is surprising to note In con
nectlon with the foregoing that thu
men directly responsible for this dis
turbance are not asked to furnish on
dollar toward the present improve
ments so beneficial to the enterpris
with which they are connected.
A recent communication from T
p. Wickham, who Is In charge OF tn
properties, states that over $4,000
worth of ore Is now lying alread
mined and ready to smelt and tina
the plant can be kept in constant or
Grafton on development ores from tn
mine at satisfactory profit, It |
sincerely to be hoped that the errati
action of these few dissatisfied stock
holders may soon be overcome an

which mean so much TO the minln
interests and to Josephine county 4

CHICAGO, june aO.--A new
party, born of the bolt of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, is today launch
ed into the political world.
During the forenoon the Wild
est rumors filled Chicago, and
with the gathering of the Roose-
welt leaders about the coloners
headquarters it was soon known
that an important announce
ment was expected, and brief
statement from Governor Post of
Porto Rico regarding the col
onel's intention, had served
only to whet the news appetite
and made the crowd wild.
The corridors were packed with
an anxious crowd clamoring TO
confirm Posts statement and
the reasons leading up to the
coloners determination.
Then Oscar X. Davis, chief of
the Roosevelt publicity bureau,
came out fatty to deny Posts
deduction on ROosevelt's deci-
sion. But he vouchsafed no en-
PLANTATION. Neither would vii.
liam Finn, Roosevelts floor
leader, when he came out a mo-
ment later. The Pennsylvanian
refused fatty to talk and chew
ed a frayed cigar with evident
nervousness. More people gath
cred around the room. Two
score newspapermen fought for
front rank places, swayed and
were pushed back by file OF pO-
licemen.
Suddenly the door opened and
Davis emerged.
DO any OF you know Colonel
Roosevelt's signature?" he de-
manded Of the newspapermen.
When answered affirmatiyely,
he held aloft a single sheet OF
paper.
"This is the csloners signed
statement" and he read the
brief announcement signifying
the birth Of new party.
Newspaper men copied IL
word for word, holding their
copy paper" on each others
backs.
Then there was a wild rush 10

THROW JOSEPHINE COUNTY
MINE INTO RECEIVERsHIP.
OHIO PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE
Action Regretted Here Where Conf
dence is Expressed in the Conn
pany Officials.

Robert Tucker OF Portland, was en-
Saturday appointed receiver for the
big Almeda mine, located at Galice,
In this county, the application for
the appointment having been made at
the instigation of Ohio stockholders,
who recently sent an attorney to
Portland to bring the action. Tucker
was appointed temporary received by
United States Judge Bean, and the
Office of the company, In Portland
was taken possession of by him at
once.
The Ohio stockholders claim to
represent 100000 of the capital
stock, which they characterize as
practically worthless.
The formal complaint on which
Judge Bean granted the application
for the appointment of a temporary
receiver, in addition to alleging mis-
management OF the property affairs
and general allegations of fraud on
the part of the officers and director
of the corporation, charged insol
vency, borrowing money and giv!ng
as a bonus for the loan treasury stool
OF the company, illegal Issuing to the
officers and directors of promotio-
stock and gross Misrepresentation
in the prospectus and writings as t.
the true value of the propertiesA ol
ths company.
Attorney Williamson, who was SEM
here from Ohio to represent the east
ern stockholders, said:
Based on the extravagant misrep.
reservations of agents Of the company
Its stock apparently has been sold
throughout the United States. Tbs
par value OF the stock was s. share
but It was unloaded at from 81 tc
$3.50 a share. approximately $780,
600 was taken by this company out
of Dayton and Springfield and thf
great bulk of It was obtained from
poor persons who could not afford tc
lose the money"
Western Stockholders Not Concerned
Western stockholders seem tc
think that there is not good ground
for asking the court to appoint a re-
ceiver for the Almeda.
This is simply case of an attor'
ney hunting a job" said l.. B. NJ
Simons, vice president and director
OF the company. There Is no tusti'
fication whatever for the appointment
of a receiver, as we will be able tc
show In court. The company owns
1000 acres OF as good mining land
OF its character as is to be found any
where in the Pacific northwest. We
have already expended 100000 In
the development Of the property and
have done everything that could be
expected reasonably by the stockhold-
ers."
Dr. Kent, a Portland stockholder
says:
THE company owns about 40 min
ing claims, aggregating 1000 acres
in Josephine county. / am not pre-
pared to say how much OF the money

The state law requires that every
dealer In salmon pay state license
of s. per annum, but when the new
meat market was established by
Messrs Herman Westerhlde and u, H.
Harbeck, they overlooked this little
demand OF the commonwealth, and
proceeded to sell the fish without dis
playing the evidence of state author
ity. Saturday Deputy Fish Warden
Sam Sandry appeared on the scene,
swore to a complaint, and Mr. West
erhide was taken before Justice Hol-
man, and hearing was set for next
Wednesday at ten o'clock.
Mr., Westerhlde admits the sale of
the fish but states that as soon as he
learned the provision OF the law re-
quiring the taking out OF a license,
the money for II was forwarded, but
the license has not yet been received.
He says that he proposes to fight the
case, not to save the cost OF license,
but that certain features OF the law
that appear to him as unjust may be
tested out. One OF his reasons for
calling the law unjust Is the fact that
the fisherman must pay a tax for
catching the fish, the wholesaler who
shipped the fish to him pays second
tax, and now another tax, the third
that lntervenes between the time the
fish leaves the water and Its appear
ance on the table Of the ultimate con-
sumer, Ia demanded OF him. Attor-
ney Clements will represents Mr..
Westerhlde before the court next
Wednesday.
Another interesting feature that
has developed In the salmon fishing
industry Is the apparent conflict be-
tween the attorney generals office
and the master fish warden. The at
torney general has ruled that II was
legal to sell Rogue river salmon, but
the deputy wardens who are In the
Rogue river territory state that the
only instructions they have ever re-
celved on the subject were to arrest
any one who sold salmon from this
stream, and until they are instructed
otherwise by the state warden, such
arrests will likely be made. They
are expecting definite instructions
along that line very soon, however,
when the salmon atmosphere will be
very materially cleared. There seems
to be feeling among the interested
people that test case will be re-
quired to definitely settle the mat
ter, and some unlucky fish yender
will probably be made the goat.

GOOD ADs

No argument is ineeded to convince the people of St. Landry that
coon ROADS are a golden investment. Their experience is the
best witness to the truth. Many have seen from their own front
door the ~ouickenipg influence Of awe-built highway on their farm
their business, their school and upon every field OF their common
life.
What then. might not be accomplished, if to ~this.pubic zest for
GOOD ROADS were added the guiding power of the government
itself. and if each widening and every improving system OF roads
throughout the parish?
From the standpoint of economy GOOD ROADS are very mucn
desired, 1t will not only save money for the individual but 1t Will
mite the efforts Of all those concerned in a common purpose, to
develop a real system of GOOD ROADS that will bind all the COM
munihes and all the people of thesparBh more closely in business
social life. From its very nature, a road must be a part OF
. general system of roads, if it is to render good service. The
va1uo Of each link depends upon the entire chain. This, perhaps,
is the most timely truth the GOOD ROADS workers of St. Landry
can now consider.
It's to be hoped that all concerned will corporate and thereby
|hearten and strengthen a cause that counts so vltaly for the GOOD
of all people--GOOD ROADS.

HONESTY IN PUBLIC HEALTH YORK

The attitude of the public toward epidemics in past years has
been either one of,mystery or Of panic. Pestilence has been regard
ed as something to placate by magic or to flee from in terror. But
in the last half century, disease has been largely robbed of both its
mystery and its fearsomeness. We know it now as a product OF
natural cause, to be met and overcome by common sence and ex-
pert knowledge. The Importance of social conditions in the pro-
duction of desease has been recognized, as well as the public re-
sponsibiity for it's existance. The public and the physicians are
now recognized as co-workers in the suppression of disease. If
partners is this work, it is only fair that both parties should know
the facts, and that in epidemic disease, the public should be told the
whole truth. THIS important obligation of the modern health officer
lis recognized by DR.. Juan Guiteras, Health Officer of Havana
In a recent issue of The The Journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation, in an article on Babonc Plague in Havana, DR.. Guiteras
condemns the old policy of suppression of facts and says:
Il have contended for the following fundamental rule in sanitary
practice: Work must be done in the broad daylight; the people
should know what we are doing, and what to expect. If we never
DECEIVE them. they viii believe what we say; we obtain their CO.
operationt we minimize panic, and we can begin active operations
at once. Al. this is the most elemental common sense; but, strange
to say, the general acceptance Of this golden rule has been slow and
difficult. only last year the presence of cholera was concealed in
several com munities. Such deception was dangerous to the in
lfected region, and, the unaffected ~neghbors, twas cruel and in
human"
