Customs Inspector Involved. The Government alleged that Louie was Ralston's principal, but this Ral ston and Louie denied, both testifying that their friendship was the result of visits to race tracks together. The name of Earl MacArthur, a cus toms inspector, who disappeared a week before the trial began, was fre quently brought Into the case by the Government, the District Attorney al leging that MacArthur and Louie were on intimate terms and producing wit nesses to show that MacArthur had passed the opium trunk, found In Port land when Ralston was arrested.

"It was - our custom," Ralston said, "to send out samples of .small lots of opium, taken from big consignments. These samples would be considered by the customer Just like other merchan dise samples, and If they were up to grade orders for large shipments would follow. We never retailed the drug. Wellman told me that all the stuff coming into Seattle was imported di rect from China, and that all of the large lots came that way. "I don't know anything about the business between here and Canada. 1 never made any trip to Canada. Well man said that when the stuff arrived it would be passed by inspectors and then brought off the boats. Most of it came on the Chinese steamers, al though considerable came on the Blue Funnel Line. Some of it would be un loaded at Seattle and some at Tacoma. Louie's Connection Dented. "Charlies Louie was not connected with it so far as I knew. He was mere ly an old friend of mine. The opium when it arrived In Seattle would be brought off the vessels and secreted in various places, some times in my room. I had in my room a number of opium jackets, with pockets running around the sides. Whenever a big con signment of opium came in a bunch of Chinese would call and get the Jackets. With them they brought- the opium ashore. "Wellman gave me a letter to a Chi nese in Astoria, Or., three months be fore I made the trip to Portland. He said he might want to change his or ders some time and have me make a trip there."

Beautiful BUST GUARANTEED in 30 days I have helped thousands of women to obtain perfect development through a simple I means by which any woman can easily enlarge her bust to tne ex act size and firmness desired. IV. If Free to Readers of Portland Oregonian Thousands of women are today the possessors of beautiful busts and per fect forms as the result of an accidental discovery made more than two years ago by Madame Margarette Merlaln, whose fame has now spread to nearly every part of the world. While taking a new prescription for building up her health, Madame Merlaln suddenly noticed that her bust was growing from almost nothing to a very large size; in fact, her bust measure increased six inches in 30 days. Physicians and chemists to whom the matter was reported arranged to try the new treatment she had used on ten other women without busts. The results obtained within a few days truly aston lshed the sages of medicine and science, and in a few weeks each of the ten women had obtained a most marvelous enlargement of the bust. Next It was tried on 50 women without busts, and the same marvelous enlargement was obtained. Madame Merlaln is herself a living example of the great power of her re markable discovery. By many she Is considered to have the most beautiful bust and most perfect form of any woman in Europe. But best of all this wonderful discovery not only succeeded In her own case and in those where spe cial tests were made, but it seems to have worked even more astonishing results in the cases of others, even after ordinary pills, massage, wooden cups and various advertised prepara tions had all been tried withouf the slightest results. Mi Helen Marion Buckett, of 100 C'bolmeley Road, Reading, write: Since using the Venus-Carnis treat ment my bust has developed in all four inches, an improvement for which I am extremely thankful."' Madame de Zisbrovsky, of Paris, says: My bust was flat and soft, and, thanks to your marvelous treatment, I now have a bust, nrm and well-developed, which is the admiration of all. I am all the more grateful to you as; I had already tried several other remedies which had all been without the least results." Madame Dixon, of Cannes, says: "The great holjows in my neck, which were my despair, have completely disap peared. My bust has become firm and considerably larger, and I am now able to wear low-necked gowns without shame and humiliation." Mrs. McGre, of Colwyn Bay, Wales, says: "My breasts, which were a short time ago quite flat and undeveloped, are now, I am proud to say, round and just as large and firm as I desire to have them. I also feci much brighter and better than before." Madame Dlstrleh, of Lrlpslg, Ger many, writes: I am entirely satisfied, and I never imagined that such results would be possible, because for several years I have been ill and was con stantly following treatments of one kind or another. I have not only ob tained a beautifully-curved form and firm flesh, but my general health has been greatly Improved. Dr. folonnny, of the Faculty of Medi cine of PnrlN, declares: No matter whether a woman be young or old, nor what her condition of health may bo, I firmly believe that in the Venus-Carnis treatment she has an infallible method for developing and beautifying her bust." Dr. Domenlco Scunclo, of Praia Sin nlta, Italy, states: "1 beg to confirm -my previous letters concerning the Venus-Carnig treatment, and I have pleasure In informing you that my patient has used this treatment and is very satisfied with the really marvel lous results that she has obtained.
