United States district attorney for Oregon, in an address before the Rotary club weekly luncheon yesterday. He discussed other phases of law en forcement as seen from his offi cial" position. "The narcotic question is one of the greatest evils that faces the American people today," said Mr. Neuner. "The average lay man has not the slightest concep tion of the magnitude of the evil. The state laws are practically a dead letter, but the national gov ernment has realized the danger and appropriated large sums of money and employed many special agents for combating it. "The four principal drligs used by addicts are opium, morphine, heroin and cocaine. Opium and morphine are derived from the poppy and cocaine from the leaves of the cocoa plant. Heroin, known to the addict as 'sno'w,' is the most powerful of all. It is made-from morphine and vinegar. "It has been estimated that one out of every 73 persons in the United States is an addict. The total number in the country has been estimated at from one to five millions of people. Out of this number, 55 per cent became addicts before the age of 25, and 2,0 per cent before the age of 2QV Half of them got the habit from associating with other addicts ' "The consumption of narcoti.es in the United States is eight grains per capita, -twice as much as in any other country. ! France comes second with four grains per capita. Over 2000 tons of opium are raised annually, and I most of it is exported, 15 times as much as is needed for medical use." The best way of fighting the evil is by curbing production, ac cording to Mr. Neuner. The league of nations opium commission is working for this and has teucceed ed in persuading India; to cut down its production of opium an nually until it is stopped alto gether. The white slave act Was also discussed by Mr. Neuner, who said that it-is in undeserved disrepute with the average layman. Ife thought it was a poor one himself, he said, until he found how the government enforced it; Only three kinds of cases are prosecut ed, one in which there is commer cialized vice, where a man "takes another man's wife - to another state and leaves her, and where-a man takes a woman to another state under promise of Carriage and leaves her. Mr. Neuner pleaded for more voting, saying that only half of the voters use their privilege. No one has seen nt to set aside a better government day oil week, he said, although such a thing would do much good. A man can't walk or drive to church these days without ! break ing five or six laws, said Mr. Neuner in condemning the present multiplicity of laws. In spite of this, countless organizations are knocking at the door of congress in an effort to get more laws and bigger penalties. j OBITUARY Brown Mrs. Ruth M.

Pear Prices Low The Salem canners are offering only '$25 a ton for Bartlett pears off the best grade; $20 for off gra'des, and not taking the poorer grades at all. Some weeks ago a part of t lie pear growers con tracted with ihe canners at as high as, $40 a ton, and others at $:15 and-$3 0. The growers who failed to contract are out of luck, from present indications. A prominent Hood River pear grower, Cordon H. Brown, who has. heen visiting in California, is euvising that no more Bartlett pears- be put out in Oregon for the present, on account of the targe new acreage in California. He advises Oregon growers to set out 'winter pears, especially the D'Anjou variety. F ESH OFFICER FALLS CITY, Aug. 4.
