Judge Rossman to Pass on
Trunk Question.
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. . '
The Copeo dam will hold the waters
of the river in check for some time,
and during that time placer men and
panners Intend to make a rich haul.
F. W. 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.-
