men were seen leaving the rear of the
building. One carried a bundle. On
one of the counters were found three
81 bills. which clerk says he took in
Sunday and credited to Monday
sales. The clerk says he placed this
money in the till that was found ~
ing on the counter. The slip for the
sale was in the drawer. NIr. -Arkin
says that he would take his oath that
the furnace door was closed when he
left the store Sunday evening; also
that the rear window was closed.
Close Call for Building.
Young men in the Strub cafe first
learned of the fire and when the de-
partment arrived it appeared as tho
nothing could save the building. "A two
story brick veneered structure. The fire
had its origin in the basement and
the eight inch space between the frame
and the brick of the east wall provided
a fue that sent the flames upward
with great velocity. Almost as soon
as the fire was discovered the rooms
on the second floor We're ablaze. At
first Chief Kirby feared that the task
of saving the building would be hope
less, but with four big streams playing
on the building the fire was overcome.
Drag Tenant From Room.
Occupying apartments over the east
store room were Mr.. and Mrs Harry
Wagner. The flames shot into the bed
room occupied by the couple. and Mrs.
Wagner was overcome b. smoke and
had to be carried from her room. She
lost everything in the shape of wear

bedrooms were a total loss. Wagner
carried $500 insurance, which vii:

pied the suite over the west store
room. and had small loss from smoke

Fire discovered at 12:+5 this morning
East Main street, damaged severely the
stock and building, and caused a
water and smoke loss in buildings adj
joining to the west. No estimate has
been made by the chief loser OF his
loss, which. it is believed, is covered
by insurance The loss on the building
is also covered. Mr.. Arkin suspects
The origin to have been incendiary.
Mr.. Arkin this morning did not
make any estimate in dollars and
cents on the loss, and said it would
be impossible until the stock could be
gone over and some estimate made on
the smoke and water damage. Not
much actual damage by fire resulted
in the store building Mr. -Arkin es-
tin1ated that he had $4,000 worth of
stock in the building, on which ne
carried $4,000 Insurance. The loss
on the building, which is owned by Mr.
Atkins brolher-in-l y. K. Aranof

ance of $4,000. Mr.. Aranof is an

TRADING STAMPS LEGAL.
I. 5. Judge Declares Special Tax
Unconstitutional.

Spokane, July 24.-United States
District Judge F. H. Rudkin, in an
opinion filed today, held the Wash
ington state law levying a tax of
$4,000 on trading stamp companies
unconstitutional. The opinion was
concurred in by Circuit Judge C. E.
Wolverton. The decree restrains the
state officials from enforcing the
law.
THE use of the trading stamps
and similar Devices said Judge
Rudkin, sis neither more nor less
than a legitimate system of advertis-
ing, and those who employ that sys-
tenn are entitled to the protection of
the constitution of the United
States"
The recent legislature, after the
state courts had held that an act
prohibiting the use of trading stamps
was unconstitutional, attempted to
have their use discontinued by plac.
ing $4,000 annual tax on each con.
Germ issuing them. The TRADING
stamp companies sought an injunc
tion in the federal court. Arguments
were made in Portland and Judg,

CHURCHILL IN VALLEY.
Noted Novelist Visited Grants Pass
Last Week.

Grants Pass Courier: Winston
Churchill, foremost among the novel
lists of the United States, writer of
"The Crisis" Richard Carvel," and
dozen more of the popular works
of fiction that have entertained the
readers of the "best sellers" during
the past ten years, was a visitor in
Grants Pass Monday afternoon, stop
ping here while en- route to Portland
after a trip to Crater Lake. The
novelist was accompanied by his wife
and by Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Ledbetter
of Portland, in whose automobile
they had made the trip from Klam-
ath Falls to the Crater national park,
and they came to Grants Pass eX-
pecting to visit the Josephine caves,
but a change in plans caused Mr.
Churchill to forego this trip till some
later date. The auto was sent on to
Eugene, and the party left on the
evening train to overtake it at that
point.
The man whose imagination has
held the interest of millions through
the tales that have been evolved
from 1t had words of praise and ex-
pressions of wonderment for the
scenic beauty of southern Oregon,
CQUinn nf I oil h.
worthy visit from any man, no
matter what sacrifices he must make
to reach it.
The man of letters is an enthusi-
asst regarding outdoor sports, carry
ing an assortment of rods and other
fishing tackle as part of his per-
sonal baggage, and in lieu of the
cave trip had concluded to make a
side trip up the Mackenzie river af-
ter trout. He was charmed with the
picturesque beauty of the Rogue and
went after steelheads on the upper
river, and promised to return to
Grants Pass later and make a canoe
trip down that tumbling stream to
the sea. On his inquiry for COM
petent riverman to pilot him
through, he was given the address of
A. Aubery by the Courier editor, and
the details of the trip will be later
arranged. Churchill says that he is
going to put in some time Seeing
America" and hunting out its won
der places and its Fairgrounds, his
home at Cornish, N. H., now being
occupied by President Wilson and
family as the summer capital of
the United States.

STATE SEALER READY
Standard Weights and Measures Ger
titled to Received BY New
Official.

Salem, Ore, July 24.-Deputy
State Sealer of Weights and Meas
ures F. G. Buchtel has received from
Henry Stroemner & Co. of Philadel-
phia the balances to be used in con-
nection with his work, and as soon
as the weights arrive he will be
ready to test and certify to the stan
dards to be used by the county seal
ers of weights and measures.
One of the balances received has
a capacity of 100 pounds, and is SEN
sitive to one grain, and the other
has capacity of eight pounds and is
sensitive to .025 of a. grain. The lat
ter will be used mostly in testing
the standards for drugs, and the 9TH
er for general purposes.
Most of the counties have already
ordered their equipment, and those
which have not are preparing to do
so. The weights to be used in con-
nection with the state balances will
be certified to by the federal bureau
of weights and measures, and will be
absolutely correct. Before the coun-
ty sealers of weights and measures
can take up their work their stan
dards must be certified to, but this
will take comparatively short time,
and Mr.. Buchtel hopes to have the
testing of weights and measures in
all counties under way very soon.
The bill under which Mr.. Buchtel
holds his appointment was passed by
the recent legislature, and he will
act in an advisory capacity to the
county sealers of weights and meas
ures.

Permit Farmers to Make Alcohol

Permit Farmers to Make Alcohol.
Washington, July 25.-Removal of
the restrictions which prevent the
farmer from utilizing his waste
fruits and vegetables to manufacture
denatured alcohol on his property
may soon be accomplished Several
congressman today informally dis
cussed plans for changing gorvern-
mental rules which now prohibit the
manufacture of this fuel. The secre-
tary of the treasury has been ap-
preached on the subject and it is his
opinion that no new law is required
to permit the farmers to operate a
distillery for the production of alco-
hol to be used as a fuel. He said to-
day that merely abrogation of a
present rule is all that is needed.
'All of the many wormy potatoes,
apples and other farm products that
are unfit for sale can be turned into
alcohol, which is more economical
for fuel than gasoline" said Senator
Lane of Oregon today Senator Lane
is heading the movement to have the
rule abrogated. "In Germany" ne
continued, they raise potatoes for
the special purpose of distilling them.
To be permitted to do this would
mean not only much cheaper fuel
for the American farmer, but also
new source of revenue, for he could
readily find market for the alco-
hol he did not use."
