ment by Governor Alexander Of
the appointment of Daniel l.. In
gard of Payette to succeed Henry
w. DOrman of Caldwell as
member of the board and Louis A
Blackman of Lewiston TO succeed
John ID. C.. Kruger of st. Anthony.
The terms Of Messers Dorman and
Kruger expire on Jan. 10, when
the new appointees take office.
The three other members Of the
beard are o. G.. Zuck of Twin Falls
C. p. Hartley of New Plymouth,
and T.. f. stephens, of Nampa,
all appointed by the present chief
executive. AT the time of and
following their appointment the
board was involved in a political
controversy over its control and
the appointment Of the state hor-
ticultural inspector, Guy era
ham
IL was apparently a well estab-
lished fact at the time of this
controversy that DOrman, who
was then president of the board,
sought to control it, as we'll as to
control the appointments made by
The governor. He failed in this.
The secretary Of state, on the re-
quest of the state horticultural
board, refused at that time to is
sue commissions to Messers In
gard and Blackman, who had beer,
appointed by the governor. APP
plication was made to the SUI
preme court for a writ of man
date. The court held that the
appointments of the governor
could not be controlled by any
state association and while he
could consult such boards he still
had a right to appoint whom he
wished. The governor then ap-
pointed two other present mem
bers of the board. Mr.. stephens
was elected president and Dorman
defeated for that Office. Mr..
Graham was elected to succeed
C.. x. Macy, former state inspect
or. Macy instituted custer pro-
.ceedings i'm the district court
against Graham but the court re-
fused to interfere.
Now that the terms of the two
old members of the board are
about to expire, the governor APP
lparently is losing no time in see
ing others are substituted in their
place and he has named the two
linen originally appointed prior
To the controversy. He previous
~ asked Messers Dorman and
Kruger to resign, but both re-
fused.

Inscriptions dealers find a
means to adullurate almost all
kinds of foods and it is only by
exercising the utmost diligence
that the government and state Of
ncers are enabled to detect and
prevent these authorizations. The
lates thing i'm this line that the
inspectors have had their atten-
ton called to is oysters. They
found that some dealers were
making a practice of soaking
their oysters i'm fresh water to in
crease their size.
The oyster when brought in
contact with fresh water for sew
eral hours will drink" or absorb
a considerable quantity of the
water and will increase in size in
exact proportion to the amount of
water which it drinks" AS
oysters are usually sold by the
pint of quart, any increase in
their size due to the addition of
water enables the dealer to fill the
pint or quart measure with a
smaller number of oysters.
If 4 quarts of oysters and 4
quart of fresh water are placed
in a 5-quart container and the
mixture allowed to stand for sew
eral hours, there will be a marked
change in the appearance of the
contents of the containers. To
the naked eye there will appear
to be quarts of dry oysters, for
the container will be full and
there will be little or no water
i'm sight, il being on the inside
of the plump, succulent-looking
oysters. The average purchaser
has no means of detecting the
addition of water. The chem
list, however, by determining the
amount of water i'm the oyster and
comparing it with the amount an
oyster actually contains, can
readily detect the adulteratiOn.

THE sHIPsUILDIMo INDUSTRY

nE SHlF6OlLDlNG iNGOo n
The outstanding point in the
report recently made by the fed
eral commissioner of navigation
is the statement that private
capital is straining this country
facilities for turning out ships.
During the year ending June 30,
1915, a total Of 148 ships, with
a gross total tonnage of 523, 361,
valued at S33, 392,756 and manned
by GAO men, were transferred
from foreign flags to the Ameri-
can flag and registered under the
act Of Aug. i8, 1914. Many Of
these ships were already owned by
Admericans, but registered under
the flag Of the country in which
they were built. This, of course,
adds quite a fleet to American
registry, and just now, when the
dearth of ships is causing freight
congestion at leading ports, this
fleet is serving American indus
tries we'll.
Adding to the American Geei BY
transferring the registry of ships
already built, many of which have
depended on this cOuntry's for
eign trade for years, is, however,
a poor means of adding to the
fleet. The real additions must
come from American shipyards
On this point the report says:
Our shipyards ON the sea-
board at the present time are
busily employed, and the output
for the year at present prospects
will probably reach 100000 gross
tons. On June 30, 1915, the sea-
board yards reported that 60 steel
vessels of 294,13S gross tons
were under construction or under
contract to be built, a tonnage
which has not been approached at
the corresponding date in the last
$ years, except i'm 1901, when IS
vessels of 273,865 gross tons were
so reported"
This paragraph shows that Am
erican shipbuilders and capital
lists are convinced that even under
existing laws the United States is
not in danger of suffering greatly
from conditions growing out of
the war. These ships are not being
built out of patriotism or a desire
to bolster up the ship building
industry during a dark period in
the worlds affairs. They are
being built to earn money for the
owners. Certainly there is a
strong demand for freighters to
foreign ports, and this is the trade
for which many Of the new ships
are intended. The number OF
vessels enrolled and licensed for
the coastwise trade on June 30
1915, was 23,9O7, a decrease OF
63t vessels since June 80, 1914
Many of the vessels taken out of
service were antiquated sailing
ships, which gave way before the
advance of stee and steam, sc
there is no particular cause for
anxiety in this shrinkage. The
main point which the administra-
ton should consider carefully is
the present activity Of the ship
building industry.

PROTESTING
BLACK LIST
Business Men Gather Il
Park to File Their
Objections.

[By Charles p. Stewart, United Press
Staff Correspondent
BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 1.-The
greatest demonstration against the
new British blacklist staged in any
country, attracted an immense crowd
to the Plaza Congreso Sunday after
noon.
The plaza was packed. Ten politi-
cal and patriotic organizations par
ticipated in the demonstration. but
their members were outnumbered by
the great throng of business men and
their employees who gathered to pro-
test against the blacklist.
The speakers included some of the
most prominent politicians and pro-
fessional men in the Argentine capt.
tai. They accused the British of at
tempting to break down the whole
structure Of international law and
declared that no neutral nation should
submit to the throttling of it's own
trade by any belligerent.
The retaliatory legislation passed
by the United States congress has
greatly strengthened the hand of the
opponents of the British blacklist
here. In demanding anti-black-list
legislation at the Sunday demonstra-
ton. several speakers referred to the
stand taken by the United States.
The meeting was advertised by pia'
cards scattered throughout the city.

THEIR GOLDEN
WEDDING DAY
Former Keokuk People Celebrate
Fifty Years Of Happy Mar
rjed Life.

Probably some of the older resi-
dents of Keokuk will remember DR..
and Mrs. Henson H. Cross, now re-
siding in Los Angeles, California.
They have been out there thirty-three
years, but formerly lived here and SO
the announcement of the celebration
of their golden wedding anniversary
will no doubt be of interest. The ac-
count is taken from the Los Angeles
Times OF September and Is headed
by excellent photographs of the doc
tor and his wife:
With a score of their relatives en-
joying the occasion as much as they,
DR.. and Mrs Henson II. Cross of No.
661 Lucas avenue, celebrated the
golden anniversary of their wedding
last Wednesday with picnic IN GIRL
fifth park The aged couple, who have
been prominent in the social life OF
the city since it was small village
thirty-three years ago, rounded out
their fiftieth year of happy married
life amid the flowers and sunshine or
southern California.
DR.. Cross and Miss Kearny II. cope
were married in Keokuk. Iowa, In
1856. The young physician, who was
graduate Of the Keokuk Medical
college,, udu JuoI ooSA -
of the army, where he had served for
three years. He was member of the
famous Thirtieth Iowa infantry that
established a name for itself during
the civil war.
For many years they remained in
their home town, the young physician
building up an extensive pract1ce.
Then they decided to come to Cali
fornia. That was thirty-three years
ago. ,
At that time Los Angeles was little
more than a village. The outskirts
of the residence district barely
reached beyond Figueroa street IN the
west, so that DR.. Cross, who had mis-
heart set upon an orange grove, found
no difficulty in obtaining one situated
at Pico and Alvarado streets:
Soon after their arrival, DR.. Cross
succeeded in establishing himself as
physician. Foreseeing the great
possibilities and future before Los
Angeles, he invested in city lots and
acreage. Much of this property he
and Mrs. Cross still retain, the
choicest plot being that upon which
the annex of the Alexandria hotel
now stands.
AS the years wore on and the city
grew DR.. Cross improved his inside
property and built the family nome
at No 661 Lucas avenue, where they
still reside.
DR.. Cross is now "a years old. HIS
wife is ST. Both are enjoying excel.
lent health and are looking forward
to many more wedding anniversaries.
