SUPREME COURT
PUTS BINCER ON
PURE FOOD Law

The reversal by the supreme
court of the $500 fine imposed by
Justice Brown on the Puget Sound
Packing Co. practically makes the
pure food" law of this state a
dead letter. so far as canned goods
are concerned.
The Puget Sound co. were the
jobbers who handled an Eastern
manufacture of canned goods.
They sold to wholesale firms,
and II. Eba, a grocer, got the goods
from the latter.
The state inspectors found the
tins corroded and food impure on
that account.
The Puget Sound Packing Co.
commended, through their attorneys
Revelle, Revelle g. Revelle, that
the state must prove the jobbers
knew of the impure state of the
canned goods at the time they sold
the same TO wholesalers and that
the mere fact that they we're unfit
for eating when found on the gro.
GERS shelves was not sufficient.

CLAIM WORTHLESS COMPANY.
Government After Corporation With
Grangeville Stockholders.

Several years ago, through the earn
est solicitation of former well known
Grangeville business man, a number of
our citizens were induced to part with
their hardearned money for stock in
a company formed for the alleged pur-
pose of developing valuable coal prop
erty in Crows Nest, Canada. No doubt
the former business, man was sincere
and really thought he was doing his
friends good turn but to some before
whom the proposition was presented it
did not appeal and as result the
amount taken from here was not so
great as might have otherwise been.
From a Spokane dispatch it would
appear the suspicious of those who did
not bite were well founded for following
federal grand jury indictment the
promoters are now on trial in the feder-
al court at the above named place. The
press dispatch is as follows:
Russell G. Belden, president of the
International Development company,
and A. E. Wayland, vice president and
treasurer, will be placed on trial Mon
day in the federal court on indictments
returned last January by the grand
jury charging them with using the
mails to defraud.
The alleged frauds occurred in con-
nection with the sale of stock in four
companies connected with coal mines
in the region of Crows Nest, Canada,
and projected railway scheme to tap
the region. 1t is alleged in the indict-
ment that properties upon which the
stock was issued are worthless with
the exception of the holdings of the
Crown Coal and Coke company, and
that the value of this property was
used as snare to induce investors to
buy stock in the other alleged worth
less holdings.
The defendants are accused Of de-
frauding John Neiderer of Summerville.
Oregon; Walter J. Wood of Waitsburg,
Washington; and John 8. Vinson Of
Freewater, Oregon, together with others
whose names are unknown to the grand
jury. The various companies referred to
in the indictment are the International
Development company, Michel Coal
i Mines, limited, Crown Coal and Coke
company and Crows Nest and Northern
Railway company.
The two defendants put up $4,000
bond each at the time of their indict
ment. They are represented by At
torney j. A. Williams Of Danson. Will
Jams & Danson, legal advisers for the
companies involved.

The following resolutions relating
to the appointment of a new shade
tree commission were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, the shade trees of
this city are a source of beauty to
our streets and pleasure to our
citizens; but many of them have
come to an age that requires at
tention and trimming; and in some
cases they have become a source of
danger and expense and if not
treated in systematic and scientific
manner their beauty and usefulness
may be destroyed; and whereas
they are in some cases a source of
expense and danger to the electric
light, telegraph and telephone COM
panies, and their treatment of them
is not always proper; therefore
Resolved, By the Larnbertville
Chamber of Commerce that the
Common Council of this city be re-
quested to appoint commission of
three citizens who may be empowed
to procure the advice of a COM
petent forester, and to secure the
cooperation of the electric light,
telegraph and telephone companies
to have work done in the best
manner, and that the Common
Council be requested to make an
appropriation sufficient to meet
its proportionate share of the ex-
pense, and that the secretary be in
structed to present this resolution
with the accompanying resolution,
