Many Delegates Gather
in Shanghai to Attend
International Congress
SHANGHAI, Dor. .Tl. lliiniiishofl
tlolpgntcH from miiny nntitins ro Ijfro
.today to tiikc jmrt in tlio intornationnl
conference nt which the powers nro to
fix upon the ilctailt for tlio c'HKiiiion
t,( the cultivation of opima within Iheir
territories in onlnr to nff.ist Chinii in
tlie aupproMsion of the nwo of opium
among the Chinese people.
The C'hineso delegates are prncticnl,
English spcakiiif men, one of (hem be
ing an ex-consul general nt Sing: pore,
one a doctor educated abroad, and on(1
a railway director well qualified tio
undertake preparatory work. It is ex
pected that the Chineae government
will hereafter be represented by nn offi
cial of high rang, proportionate, to the
importance of this national question.
Missionary doctors continue to report
n large increase in the salw of anti
opium remedioH, which, containing mor
phia, produce results worse than opium
smoking. It is evidently desirable that
effective measures miould be taken by
the Chinese government to prevent the
illicit importation and sale of morphia,
nnd especially i it desirable thai Japan,
following the example of other r.atinnn,
should prohibit th? export of morphia
to China.
Prohibition drives man nnd woman
to the use of cocaine, morphine, opium
nnd other drngfl, according to Dr. Ham
ilton E. Wright, one of the three t'nitr d
States commi'-iior.en to the interna
tional opium congress.
Dr. Wright declar s he hnr. found the
drug habit to be advanced further in
those states hnving strict anti-liquor
laws, while in the "wet" states the
reverse is the case.
Anxious to Try Law.
Dr. Wriyht said thitt. contrary to the
general bdief. the Chinere urers of the
drug nnd the opium-eaters both are
anxious to see the law enforced ns to
its snie, while the Chinese pipers" nre
strong advocates of total abstinence
from the drug for th rising generation.
His information as to the white users
of opium is not as definite on account
of the greater difficulty in locating
them.
Dr. Wright dedans there has been a
steady increase in importation of opium
into the United States, since, lS";t,
though thero was a larger Chinese pop
ulation then than now and the laws
against its importation were not so se
vere. The importation of the crude product
iti the past five years has increased
lt(i(M)tiii)0 pounds, he says.
The Chinese physicians, ho declares,
are lenders in the effort to find a cure
for the opium habit. They are now us
ing a cure discovered not long ago in
Shanghai, and they elfilin for it success.
The new cure is being tented officially
in New York.
Dr. Wright's studies have developed
that 50 per cent of the Chinese in the
United States InibiturJIy use the drug,
Iti) per cent occasionally, nearly 20 per
cent on rare occasions nnd a few refrain
from its use. Seventy-fivo per cent of
the opium brought into the United
States is made into morphine and !0
per cent of that drug if sold illicitly, ac
cording to Dr. Wright.
BUTTE FALLS ITEMS.
Mell Houghton is visiting the family
ot It. H. Harris in Mnlford.
,r, H. Miller has gone to Medford in
answer to a wire announcing the serious
illness of his mother, who is living
in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Miss "Miller, who has been teaching
the Sams Valley school, and Morris
Miller, who lia: been atteuding Medford
high school, are spending the Christmas
holidays with their parents ut Unttc
Falls. '
The Christmas trade of IIu:te Falls
was very satisfactory to our merchants.
If our roads were in a better condi
tion much more travel would be over
them between the Palls nnd Mtdford. As
it is we nre shut in and off from many
conveniences. Our people nre anxious
ly awaiting the ndvrt of the railroad,
when they can go nnd come wit hnut
such a great expense and loss of time.
Our Medford friends who interfered
with the railroad project, can now see
what their dog in the manr policy
has done.
Several parties hereabouts have been
subpenaed as witnesses in the homestead
contests now on, and they will now have
full opportunity to make good their tale
told to the injury of deserving home
steaders. It is about time a slop was
put to these malicious reports, for no
men have been more self-sacrificing or
faithful than these homestead itet tiers.
Lewis J. Mend of Obenchain is down
in the valley and will bring Judge
lVntz back with him to attend to busi
lies.
T. C. Hall of Ilrownsboro is in Med
ford after store supplies.
The health of our community has been
vi-ry goil during the winter.

forest surt'rvior for ( rater lake divi
sion, returned to the city on Wednes
day after an extendel ouinination trip.
