(U. P.) It was Jearned today that oleomargarine frauds costing the government more than $3,000,000 annually have been unearthed. A large number of secret service operatives are on the case. The government has already recov ered hundreds of thousands of dollars from fraudulent, dealers, In addition to the large court costs. Of this sum, $800,000 was recovered from the Capi tal City dairy of Columbus, Ohio. 6uitB for $400,000 more are pending against this company. .This indicates that the total suits throughout the country will run into , the millions. Purther revelations ar promised when trial of cases In Rhode Island begins 1 week..'- ; The oleomargarine frauds dirfc from the whiskey frauds recently re vealed, inasmuch as connivance wit. i revenue employes Is unnecessary. Th process on the part of the fraudulent dealers is simple. The tax on uncol pred Oleomargarine is one quarter of a cent a pound; on colored, 10 cents. Many dealers have colored the product and sold it for butter, saving a tax; of K cents per pound. The favorite riek of jmall dealers waa to send retail wagons through rs idential districts claiming thst the oleomargarine was butter fresh from the country.

BACKED BY STRONGEST POSSIBLE TEN-YEAR GUARANTEE, THIS FORM OF PAVE MENT MAKES WONDERFUL ECONOMY SHOWING IN TABULATED BIDS MULTNOMAH COUNTY can make an initial saving of almost $140,000 by using concrete ....... for paving her magnificent system of seventy miles of highways radiating out from the ' city of Portland. This is the startling comparison revealed by complete tabulation of the bids for road construction received by the county commissioners last Wednesday. l Not only that,,but in the use of concrete there will be an additional saving to the county in excess of $40,000: through a reduction in the amount of crushed rock that would be necessary.for other forms of pav ing, but which iwill not be needed with concrete. ',v 1 . This means a total saving of approximately 180,000 isn't that worth while?.; r-' v - How. about the Guarantee? , Concrete is backed sby the fullest" and strongest 10 -year guarantee submitted to the commissioners for any form of pavement. This guarantee is absolutely ; ironclad, and the low bidder on concrete went rartner man anyone eise , oy su Dmuung wui 1 nib v uiu certified checks to cover' all the provisions desired by the voters when they endorsed the $1,250,000 bond issue., 'j ',"'' ' ' . - - ' ' - ! c ; Thus is concrete guaranteed for ten, 1 years, and at the end of ten years it will be good for an indefinite number of years more. ; . ' ' : . : These striking figures showing the economy of concrete are obtained by comparing the lowconcrete bid with the engineer's estimate of the cost of the pavinjE: work made before the bids were submitted. In other words concrete is not far from $200,000 cheaper than Mult nomah, County figured its paving' would cost. . . i - i V Parallel with the, originally estimated cost even a little above it is the bid on patented Bitulithic pavement. So concrete will save some 180,000, as compared with the patented form of pavement, f . . 'v.
