French chemists have announced

CHINESE HAVE eWN COURTS
Orentals in This Country Administer
Justice Without Troubling the
Regular Tribunals.

Completely isolated from any inter
ference from the occidental officers of

courts Of law. Criminals against this
code, when punished, are not hailed be-
fore the white, mans tribunal. As
conclusive evidence, examine the
dockets of any court, in an attempt to
find where one Chinese has issued a
complaint against another, say the po-
lice. Quick execution, under the busy
life of downtown Portland, is said to
have been melted out to many men,

Beaver Colony for Profit.

Probably the largest fur farm in
the West. is beaver ranch at Edger-
ton, Canada, where more than 100
beavers are being raised with the ex-
pectation of providing yearly reye-
nue. as soon as it is believed they have
multiplied sufficiently to justify some
trapping. The ranch is located on
the banks of a small creek which has
been the home Of colony of beavers
for years. and on account of the rapid
multiplication the owner of the land
secured privileges of breeding them
and selling the increase.
