"We ret a rood maxy complaints this
year from England on tbo subject of ar
nlc In Oreoa bops. Whatever arsenic
there Is la Ore on hope la tha result of the
of Haa-decto aalpbur. which, tboujrb OOH

Th araenlo In sulphur elves Oregon hope
a tiack vya and hurta the whole Coast,
and w would susireat that through other
dealera you take such steps aa will shut
Hwndetto au?phur out of Oregon.
"Th'rt are some of the sulphurs In Japan,
tiat la Boo so. Satauma and Cob sulphur,
that are practically free of arsenic. That la.
they contain leas than one part of arsenic
In parte) sulphur, and to those sul
phurs there la no objection on score of ar
talc,
We xpct that this year the sulphur Im
porters will make a special drive to sell the
Htnde'.to sulphur, aa that cornea In free
or duty, while the other sulphurs have to pay
a duty of $4 per ton. and Ur that reason
It la aecceaary that tboee people la Oregon
that are Interested In tae marketing of Ore
gon hope Jhould take et this time stepa to
prevent the Importing of Hagadetto sulphur
and. If It la Imported, to prevent Its use by
hopgrowers."
