BAKKK BOYS, PUT IN JAIL FEAR
PRISONERS.
Two Dollars Worth of Tobacco Carried
iby Boys Out for World-Seeing Trip.
Rigidly observing the hobo's cardi
nal principle that whatever else be
fall, never run Bhort of tobacco, two
little Baker lads started out "the
world for to see" Jast week. The
world, to them, is still an unsolved
mystery, and a vast unknown, for
tfhctr air castles crashed and the
hubbies bursted when the two boys
landed up abruptly in the city jail
'Suturday. Chief of Police Ardrey
iound about $2.00 worth of cigarettes,
' chewing tobacco and cigars when the
two were token into custody. They
bought thorn before beginning their
pilgrimage.
. Their trip was short 'but exciting.
Prisoners in the city jail excited
their curiosity, and the youngsters
-wanted to know what each had done.
Ono had "killed a Chinaman, another
was "Dips" and in true Bobby Make-believe
fashion, they sat up all Sat
urday night visualizing the horrors
and calamities that might overtake
them in the jail corridors should they,
even for a minute close their weary
eyes. . .'
When morning came the spokes
man of the two confessed that the
"crazy man didn't worry him much
but that fellow who killed the China
man was getting on his nerves."
Sunday night however the boys were
back in their trundle beds, for Mr. Lit
tleton, father of one of the boys, came
to fetch him home. The pal was
named Brown, ,.',,
was in La Grande yesterday on pro
fessional business, being in consulta
tion with Dr. Hall.

; ? ; Garbage Now" Vshwhto
New York, Feb. 26. The deadly
possibilities of every barrel of garT
bage collected in New York City, be
sides those arising from the noxious
gases caused by decaying waste mat,
erial, were brought out in a large casej
i,f v Si.nreme Court this week.:
The action was (brought by a large
realty company seeking an injunction
to restrain the city of awarding new
contracts for the disposal of garbage.
According to the Arguments ?of the
attorneys ithe results nroduc of
garbage after' being treated with
steam is grease. It's value fluctuates
between one and six cents a pounfl.
Due to the war there happens to be
a great demand for grease, because
from it comes glycerine, and from that
is made nitro.glycerine far which
there is much call at the present time
across the water. Never before in the
history of New York has such an arr
Tay of high priced lawyer appeared
to fight for the city's garbage. Sever
al companies have formed each of
which ia trying to outbid the other
in order to secure (the garbage .pri
vilege. One firm has offered to pay
$900,000 for a five year privilege to
collect rarbRsre and convert it into war
j materials. The present suit is to pre
vent this firm from securing tne pn
viWn and it is beine claimed that oth
er firms are ready ito bid even more. '
TVi situation is a srreat contrast to
fwhat has taken place in other years
when the city has been compeuea to
pay millions of dollars to contractors i
to collect and dispose of the waste. ,1

they insist first on taunting the' De
mocrats for his alleged mistake. ':
Passage of the duty-continuing re
solution, with both parties' voting for
it, is regarded assured eventually aft
er a long wordy war.. . ..
Tariff experts say the repeal of free
sugar will not affect present retail
prices to the . consumer. Effect of
partial tariff reduction already has
been felt they declare. .
But a big revival in the American
sugar industry, both cane and beet,
is expected to result from continu
ing the present duty. With the 1-cent
a-pound : protection, Louisiana . cane
growers, 'who put their canefields in
to other crops when the sugar sche
dule was' revised downward, are re
ported planting, new crops. . Increas
ed acreage of sugar beets and more
production in western beet sugar
factories is also expected.
Political effects are bound up in
the sugar question. Following the
Louisiana cane growers' declaration
that "free sugar" would ruin then,
a Progressive congressman was elect
el last year from the rockbound Demo
cratic state. . '
An interesting story is told in con
nection with the sugar tariff. Presi
dent Wilson himself, it is said, was
most insistent upon making sugar
duty free. Senator Underwood, then
House leader, bitterly opposed it, but
at the President's behest finally wrote
the "free sugar" clause in the bill.
Then it was estimated the indirect
tax burden upon consumers would be
reducted $115,000,000 a ye.ar. Wheth
er the .refiners or the consumers
would benefit by the reduced tariff
has been and is still a point of par
tsian debate.
