RAILWAY MEN INTERESTED lccUion May Determine Whether Officers Will Be Hampered in Combating Illegal Liquor Traffic. Municipal Judse Rosrman today ni nana clown a ruling on the ques tion as to whether or not a railroad baggagre agent must hold trunks or other baggage at a depot at the. re quest of a police officer until such a nine as me ortier may procure a war rant to search the trunks for liquor. rsoth city and eountv officials -. - interested in the expected decision, for upon it depends, it iK said, whether or not peace otricers will be handicapped In their efforts to ferret out and atop illeral traffic in liquor. This decision will be sriven in the charge against William Groh. baggage agent for the Northern Pacific Ter minal Company, who is accused of a technical violation of the prohibition law because he refused Wednesday to detain two trunks at the request of 1'atrolman vessey until the officer could procure a search warrant. By this refusal, it is held by Deputy Dis trict Attorney Ryan that Groh is tech nically guilty of aiding: in the illegal iralllc in liquor. Argument Made Yesterday. Arguments were made yesterday aft ernoon before Judge Kossman by Ben O. Day, appearing for the Northern I'acific, and. Deputy District Attorney Eyin. Mr. Day declared that agents for the Northern Pacific have been given Mrict instructions to assist the peace officers in every way possible to sup press bootlegging operations. He con tends, however, that if baggage agents w-ere compelled to detain trunks and other baggage at the request of a peace officer merely because of a sus picion that such , trunks contained liquor it would make the railway com pany liable to heavy damages. lie pointed to the fact that the prohibition law provides that the railroad agent must "knowingly" permit the liquor to be removed, and asserted that Mr. Groh. in his capacity of baggage agent, could not have any knowledge that the trunks in question contained liquor. Close Technical Question. AHhoucrli he admitted that it was a close technical question. Detuty Dis trict Attorney Ryan demanded a con viction In the Groh case in order that It might establish a good precedent by letting all baggage agents know that they must offer every possible assist ance to peace officers engaged la the suppression of the liquor traffic. I?e declared further that unless this assistance is given to the officers the work of running down bootleggers will be made almost impossible, because trunks could be removed from the station while an officer was procur ing -a. search warrant.

What fcu Can Make At Home Bv Mrs. Portland. 7 OUR garden should furnish you L not only a goodly supply of vege tables, but also a few by-products: fuel, for instance. Tou can save your self several dollars annually spent for fir or pine, for kindling if you will save and store away in . a dry . place the larger stalks of many of the plants and weeds growing in the garden and vacant lots beside you. Every part of the sunflower plant makes excellent kindling; leaves, stalk, seed pods all abound in a rich oil that makes them snap and blaze when a match is applied to their dry re mains. The burdock plant also seems to contain considerable combustible matter, as It burns very readily; even the dry burs producing a good blaze. Old, dry goldenrod stalks are also good fire kindlers, seeming to have much oil In them. If you have either burdocks or other large weeds on ad joining uncultivated lots, when you cut them out, you are helping yourself to keep down the weeds in your own garden plot and all burs and seed tops that you burn up make so many less weeds next year; and if you burn their larger stalks and ends in your fireplace, furnace, or stove, you ft re getting that much fuel value for noth ing except a little labor which can easily be performed by the children on some bright Saturday. These large stalks can be broken up into pieces the right size for use as kindling and put away m a dry place, perhaps un der the-back porch or on top of the wood in the basement. There is considerable fuel value in cornstalks, husks and cobs and these can also be put away in a dry place where they will become still drier ror future fuel use. Tou can even save the trimmings of your shrubs, rose bushes, etc., for use in the Winter's furnace firen, but you will probably have to handle them with gloves on account of the thorns and if you have any long, straight rods in the trimmings of your fruit trees or weeds or shrubs, you shoul'l lay them by to help pole up next year's crop of tall peas and beans. Dry bean pods make excellent kind ling as do the dry stems of many vege tables and flower plants, but there is not much fuel value in cabbage stalks and these will serve best in the com post heap. GOLD RUSH PREDICTED RIVER BED TO BE NEARLY DRY XEXT MONTH. Completion of Power Dam at Cope AM II Give Opportunity for "Work Where Millions Are Takes. MEDFORD, Or., Sept. 20. (Special.) Local mining men are expecting a genuine gold rush to the Klamath River in late October, when the im mense power station dam at Copco will be finished and the river from Horn brook, Cal., to the ocean will be nearly dry. More than $100,000,000 in gold have been taken out of the Klamath River by dredging and wing-damming, but local miners believe only a small por tion of the precious metal has been re covered. .

Carnahan, manager Of the Blue Ledge copper mine, is one of the well known mining men who plans to start Out the latter part of October so as to be on the ground early. The news has not been published heretofore, but word has passed about among miners on the Coast, and some local enthusiasts be lieve there will be a small edition of the rush to Nome e-eral years ago. When the California-Oregon rower Company put In its dam on Rogue River at Gold Bay the officers of the company at that time took out several thousand dollars'-worth of gold- That it was not more is declared, to be due to the fact that the gold-bearing por tion of Southern Oregon does not begin to show big values until the western portion of the valley is reached.- Salem Doctors Get Commissions.
