An -assault is being made by local at

makes it a crime to have opium in pos

which allow the importation, and conse

nooher law regulating the matter in Ha

possession law use and sale of opium will
be utterly unrestricted until the Legisla

THROTTLED OPPORTUNITIES.
An Eastern Comment on Oregon
Mining Development.
ST. LOUIS, Dec 22. In the December
edition, which appeared today. Finance
says editorially under the head of
"Throttled Opportunities":
"In the strictly mineral section of Ore
gon, there are opportunities which the
casual observer sees, and the casual ob
serves marvels that the world knows f.o
little of them, and that they are so slight
ly developed.
"Only a trifle of investigation serves
to show the causes for this. They are
those most formidable of all obstacles to
development an inordinate selfishness
and an ultra-conservatism.
"Foreign capital Is disposed to look
askance at what local capital, when ther
Is such, does not show any willingness to
be identified with. Nor Is this In any
way remarkable. Indeed, the contrary
would be. There has been bad manage
ment of some partly developed Oregon
mining properties, and there have been
promoters identified with some of them
who could not claim any close relation
ship to necessary capital themselves, nor
to any unusual degree of integrity, ov
even good sense. Mining development
and the mining business as such, how
ever, has no monopoly of those unfortu
nate attributes. Even the greatest ana
soundest and most carefully scrutinized
financial Institutions themselves are not
infrequently made prey for people of this
'class. And that the mining opportunities
of Oregon have not been brought to sucn
state of development as they should is, in
part, though we are constrained to be
lieve, perhaps the lesser part, attributa
ble to the misconceptions and the con
servatism of focal financial people. It Is,
we believe, a fact that should any Port
land banking institution, for instance, be
known to lend any considerable support
to a mining enterprisp, however worthy
and substantial, its heavier depositors
and the moneyed people whose patron
age it enjoyed would so thoroughly dis
approve of such a course that not a few
of them would withdraw their accounts.
"In this matter Portland'is not unlikely
to commit the same error that Denver did
when it permitted Colorado Springs to
become the great world-wide-known cen
ter T)f mining transactions, though Den
ver "had the advantage of age, and ex
perience, and capital. It Is n6t at air Im
possible that when the mining opportu
nities of Oregon shall have "been further
developed,' some community, now small
and unknown, perhaps even unborn, will
spring up in a night to become and re
main the mining market of Oregon, with
all that that implies.
"There is yet another stumbling block
In the way of the Oregon mines, and It Is
the more formidable of the two. Human
selfishness not infrequently kills the goose
that lays'the golden egg, and this is quite
as often exemplified in mining fields as
elsewhere. In these last it does not
.usually .manifest Itself ln .the earlier
stages, but comes with the advent of the
more powerful operators and comblna
tlonsl In the case of Oregon, the disease
appeared with the mineral, and no rem
edy for it has as yet been successfully
applied. The history of the so-called mm.
ing development of Oregon which has
been no development at all except In such
few isolated cases as only prove the coi
rectness of our contentions has been one
of stumbling upon a rich deposit ana
straightway gathering In every square
foot thnt could be seen through a long
range field glass by the utilization of
mining claims filed by sisters and cousins
and aunts. This accomplished, the bo'fl
and Intrepid discoverer of mineral wealth
sat down and waited for other people to
make his mines valuable and pay him a
monumental and luscious price for his
holdings and his great service to man
kind. That he did not readily find somt
one who would straightway empty thetr
pockets for him accounts for the fact
that there are scores and scores of splen
did claims In Oregon today which have
been held from 10 to 20 years and have
not had earth enough disturbed on them
to make scratching for a brood of chicks.
"Perhaps some day the people who ire
holding these claims and the local capu
tallsts who could develop properties In
those cares where it can be done upon
an. equitable basis, will awaken to the
fact that they have been making a se
rious mistake. So far as the capitalists
are. concerned, they may not make their
discovery until they are In the same re
lation to the Oregon mines that St. Louis
was for a 'time, at least, to the great zino
fields almost at Its very door, when Bos
ton, by quick perception and greater en
terprise, got the first and the best and
the most St. Louis knows better now;
As for the dog-in-the-manger claimants,"
if their own greed does not of Itself show
them that they are defeating their own
ends and injuring Oregon, some legalized
means should be found to deprive th"m
of this wholly uneconomic and unnatural
privilege of holding opportunities which
they will neither develop nor permit oth
ers to deyelop."
DEAFNESS CURED.
Successful Treatment of Jojin D.
Rockefeller's Daughter.
NEW YORK. Dec 22. A dispatch to the
World from Vienna says:
The first details of the treatment of
Miss Alta Rockefeller, daughter of John
D. Rockefeller, for deafness, by Dr. Isa
dor Muller. have been made public. In a
lecture before the Solcety of Physicians.
Mr. Muller said:
"When Miss Rockefeller's case was
brought to my Attention, It was so grave
that all known methods had been tried
unavaillngly. I was forced to Invent
now methods, which have fortunately
succeeded. These were two In number.
"The first was to Introduce a small
gold plate Into the ear, fashioned into the
required 6hape. This was placed between
the ear-drum and the chain of small
bones which transmit the vibrations to
the internal ear. This Improved the pa
tient's hearing so much that she could
hear the ticking of a watch, something
she had not heard for years. The sec
ond new method. was to replace the de
stroyed portion of the ear-drum by myr
lngoplastic means. Here again I Inserted
small gold plates. This was tried only
after every known method had been used
In vain.
"Two months ago the patient came to
Vienna for the continuation of her treat
ment, which I have now carried to an
unexpected point of success.'

He TESTED THE-SAUCE
WTI'AESS AT THE BOOZ HEARING
-DID SOT FIXD IT BAD.
More Cadets Were Called to tke
Stand to Explain the Methods
of Hazing.
"WEST POINT, N. T., Dec 22. The
court of Inquiry Investigating the alle
gation that .the late Oscar. L. Sooz was
so ill-treated while a cadet at the mili
tary academy that his health was im
paired, began work early today, intending
to finish Its labors at noon.
Major J. M. Bannister. Surgeon, United
States Army, told of his testing the ef
fects of partaking of four drops of Trop-
leal Pepper Sauce.", such as is U3ed In the
cadets' mess hall. He said he tried it
last night by dropping four drops of the
sauce on the palm of Tils hand and tak
ing up with his tongue. He swallowed
the- sauce, although it tasted hot, like
the taste of a cayenne pepper pod. His
throat, he said, was very susceptible tq
any irritation, but lie felt no ill effects
from the dose. Two young ladles, who
were present when he made the test. In
a spirit of fun did likewise, and they, too,
found no difficulty in swallowing the
same quantity. In reply to General Clous
the witness said:
"I positively swear that the taking of
this sauce could not directly or Indirectly
have caused the tuberculosis, or the
death, or in any way be the cause of
the death of Cadet Booz two years after
his partaking of J-"
Cadet John H. Poole, of Michigan, swore
that he never hazed Booz. Hq had not
seen Breth hazed, but had heard he was
"exercised" considerably.
"What are the relations of the -upper
class men to tho fourth class men?"
"With the exception of exercising,
which has been abolished, it Js about the
same as formerly. "We require them to
do special work about our tents, cleaning
guns, making up beds, aqd so forth."
The witness said that ho had heaYd of
four fights between upper and fourth
class men since last encampment. """
"Who won?" asked General Clous.
"Two were won -by upper class men,
one by a fourth class man and the other
was a draw.
Cadet Guy Carleton, of Michigan, testi
fied that Booz was hazedr but that there
was nothing brutal or severe In it. Oth
ers had similar experiences. In reply to
several questions regarding Cadet Breth,
the witness said:
"I knew him, but did not hear of his
being hazed or being put In a straight
Jacket. If he had been placed In a
straight-Jacket I certainly would have
heard of Jt I had a special duty man
from the fourth class. He swept out' the
tent, carried water and cleaned my gun
and bayonet."
Cadet Emery J. Pike, of Iowa, had
heard of men being required to eat soup,
but never knew of a positive case.
"You knew Cadet Breth? " asked Gen
eral Clous.
"Yes, sir, I remembered him because
of his woodenness."
"Do you mean by that that he was
wooden-headed?"
"Yes, sir." "
"In treating fourth class men by your
methods o hazing, was. any "difference
made between the sons of rich men and
those of the poorer classes?"
"Well, sir, there would be no distinc
tion, except the rich man's son was con
ceited " answered the witness,
"Why do you haze fourth class -men?'
asked General Brooke. - i
"Fourth class men are new'and green
and they are hazed to make 'them con
form tor the rules, to obey their superiors
and make men out of them."
"If the son of a General or the son of -a.
President of tHe United States came here,
would he be hazed?" asked the General.
"Yes, Blr, he would if he were conceited,
and it is likely he would be ''hazed any
how.' "You then evidently wish to make thepi
that none is better than the other?" said
General Brooke.
"That's the Idea, sir." ,
In reply to .General Brooke, Cadet Cox,
of Virginia, said that when a cadet In
the fourth class was conceited. It was
taken out of him by hazing.
"How long does the conceit last?" asked
the General.
"About 20 minutes," replied the witness.
"Ah, then it is 'exercised'?" said the
General, Jokingly.
"Yes, sir." ,
"Docs it ever return?"
"Not while he Is a fourth class man,
slr." General Brooke questioned the witness
at length on the cadets' "code of honor,-'
and the witness said; "Our code does not
require a man to do anything ungentle
manly. Sometimes a class has caused a
man to resign for making false state
ments or doing something in violation of
this code."
"Any deviation from this standard,
then, would be closely Investigated -by
the class, and there is no !ntermin.nrv
between absolute truth and falsehood?" J
Inquired General Brooke.
"That is exactly the Idea, sir. I knew
of a case about two years ago where a
man dll an ungentlemanly act and he
was requested to resign," said the wit
ness. "Did he?" asked General Brooke
"He did, sir."
Cadet Leonard A. Pruntey, of Kansas,
had himself taken pepper sauce, i The
quantity was half a leaspoonful. Ho 'suf
fered no Injury from It, the effect pass
ing away In 10 minutes.
Cadet William M. Colcy said ho could
not say that he had not given sauce to
lower class men. t
"Have you seen It given, and, if so,
was any force used?"
"I saw it given several times In the
mess hall, but no force was used. The
men were told to .take It and they did.
Eight drops was the most I ever saw
given."
"Have you known of any cadets being
dragged from their tents?" asked Gen
eral Clous.
"Yes, sir, was dragged myself, when a
fourth class man. I was lying on tho
comforter on the floor. Ttvo or three'men
ciught hold of It and pulled It with me
on top out of the tent"
"Have you ever known a hand to have
been laid on. a man and his body dragged
out of the grounds?"
"No, sir, the bedding was always un
derneath." .
The court adjourned until December 2Si
at 2 o'clock.

&wes'to Humanity Be Searching Investigation ofThese Cures as
the Only -Answer to Careless and Dangerous Criticism.
The "greatest irrontr 'that Is in
flicted on the splendid work Doctors Cope
land and Montgomery aro doing for hu
manltty comes from those so-called intel
ligent critics, who- say something like
this: "Oh, yes; these physicians ' are
scientists" and abler physicians all right;
they do as much good "as any 'doctors,
probably more good than most doctorst
but they don't cure. There is nobody
who "by the science of medicine does cure;
they relieve symptoms, benefit to some
degree, perhaps, but they don't cure.
"Medicine is not an exact science."
Those who talk like this are most dan
.gerous enemies to this, splendid, work. The
science of medicine that Doctor Copeland
represents does cure. It Is an exact
science. There are "ncyhalf truths in it

THESE PEOPLE
CURED OF ASTHMA AND .
. . CATARRH OP LONG STANDING
Mr. S. Sanlcer, Kelio, Wash. Until
ten years agoI was In perfect health.
At that time X had grippe, which left me
with catarrh and that torturing malady,
asthma. Only those who are afflicted as
I was can know what I suffered.
My nose wonld "become stopped up,
so I could not brenthe through it.
The bronchial tnbes would seem, to
narrow and contract partially close
up so as to-make it diiUcnlt at times
for me to get enough breath to keep
me alive. At night I would have- to
sit np lh a rocking chnlr to keep
from suffocating. ' I was coughing
Incessantly. I wonld become black
in the fnce in the struggle for air.
At times I wan in Imminent and real
danger of strangulation. My breath
Venn very short and accompanied by
wheezing and rattling.
I spent almost everything I mado In
doctoring and buying medicines, but all I'
got was a little temporary relief. I had
heard so much about the Copeland treat
ment in similar troubles to mine that I
decided to give it a trial, .with the result
of a cure. X)n my way up to consult the
doctor I had to sit up all night on the
boat Inhaling medicine, and. was almost
too worn, out to get up to tthe office. I
hadn't much confidence that I could be
helped, and was. completely surprised at
the promptness and thoroughness with
whiqh the treatment mastered the trtfu,

Indians and Game Killing;
Denver "Times.
There Is a curious disposition among
the people to make sport of Governor
Thomas' crusade against the Indians, who
are said to be killing game outside their
reservations and within the boundaries
of this state.
That is has a comic side Is probably
not to be denied- But It may also have
a very serious side. The, border country
has not had any Indian experiences of
late, and the American people show1 an
astonishing facility in forgetting unpleas
ant things.
Those who know anything about the
Indian know that the kind of movement
now begun may very easily Incite him
to acts which will have a very serious
significance to outlying, settlers, and pos
sibly small villages. The Indians know
as well as Governor Thomas does that
the Federal power is not behind this move
ment They rarely forego a chance for
immediate reenge because of the pos
sibility of a remote reprisal.
That the state can preyail in the end no
body doubts, perhaps, but aside, from the
harvest of trouble and loss of life we
may have to reap, citizens are also look
ing to the harvest of debt that must fol
low, though we are now at our wits' end
to devise means for paying what we al
ready owe.
Some of them are inclined to suspect
the Governor of a -kind of ''after us, tho
deluge" policy.

NOTE THE CONTRAST.
The testimonials that are published in
these columns today are testimonials that
''"testify." They "mean something. They
tell of years of suffering from real sick
ness. These people describe In their own
language the particulars of their afflictions,-
and of their vain efforts to ob
tain relief from other sources. They tell
of the complete, perfect and -permanent
cures accomplished under -the Copeland
treatment. They are common, honest
conscientious and trustworthy people,
who, if you call upon or write them, will
cheerfully verify the truth of. their pub
lished, statements. They are not Govern
ors, Senators, Congressmen, politicians,
public men or actresses, who court noto
riety and? publicity, and who are always
glad of an opportunity to be brought
prominently before the people, but who,
as a general thing, are not very sick, and
who never claim to have been cured of a
serious Illness by the patent medicine
they appear to Indorse and recommend.
