the
Washington, June 10. That
Iure food act has been dealt a se
vere blow by the U. S. supreme court
and that the manner In which It is
being administered may not be sus
tained by that body Is the opinion of
experts who have examined the de
cision In the cub of O. A. Johnson.
The court handed down the opinion
on the day of adjournment and it
was lost sight of in the furore over
the tobacco trust and other cases, but
it Is regarded as the most Important
ruling of the court ever made in. Con
ner ir.Ti with the J?'.!r? food, law, as It
the harmfulness of drugs In foods, I
which formerly was in Dr. Wiley's'
hands, and Secretary Wilson put So
licitor McCabe over him In all mat
ters relating to the prosecution of of
fenders. Incidentally he received
something more than an Intimation
that the leas heard from him the bet
ter his superiors would be pleased.
In fact, so far has the suppression of
Dr. Wiley been carried that he is for
bidden to consult with or advise dis
trict attorneys engaged in prosecut'
ing violations of the pure food law
who are thus deprived of his exper
ience, knowledge and services.
Now comes the supreme court and
ignoring Secretary Wilson's Remsen
board, which has no place In the act,
and Solicitor McCabe, who unlike all
other "solicitors," is not an official
of the department of Justice, but of
the department of agriculture, and
says that the determination of wheth
er an article is mlsbranded la left by
the law to Dr. Wiley's bureau of
chemlBtry. The Inference drawn is
that if the occasion arises the court
will also hold that the determination
as to whether a food is adulterated,
or contains an added poisonous or
deleterious Ingredient, is also left to
Dr. Wiley's bureau. If this lnfor-

the doors to patent medicine manu
facturers and fakirs of all descrip
tions. Johnson was indicted for rep
resenting us a cancer cure a compound
which he well knew to be worthless
for that purpose. The lower court
held that the uct did not apply to
claims made as to the curative pow
ers nnd quashed the Indictment, which
action wus sustained by thft- upreme
court. In a dissenting Opinion Jus
tire Hughes, with Justices Harlan and
Day, pointed Out that under this con
struction one could place on the mar
kit tablets of inert matter or a li
quid which he well know to be whol
ly worthless for any curative purpos
es, with the label "Cancer Cure," or
"Remedy for Epilepsy," and not be
guilty of any offense. Justice Hugh
, es also called attention to the fact
' that many persons had been prose
cuted under the law for making such
false representations and that a num
ber had pleaded guilty without at
tempting to defend themselves. He
found nothing In the law which gave
such people the privilege of conduct
ing "Interstate traffic in their so
called medicines, admittedly worth
less." Other Points In Opinion.
The other point raised grows out
of that part of the opinion of Jus
tice Holmes for the majority of the
court, In which ho says "It should be
noticed still further that by section
4 the determination whether an ar
ticle is mlsbranded is left to the bu
roau of chemistry of the department
of agriculture." It is well known that
the authority formerly exercised by
Dr Wllev and which was placed In
his hands by congress has been grad
ually curtailed until he cuts about
as much figure In the enforcement
of the pure food act as if he were In
Kamskatchka. The Remsen board
was created by a stretch of authority
which cracked the law to pass upon
Ramsen board will be rendered abso
lutely worthless In Jaw whatever they
may bo In chemistry, and the bureau
of chemistry would be restored to the
position of Importance and usefulness
it formerly occupied.

HEN KIDNAPS KITTENS.
Mother Cat Fights for All, but Gets
Only Half Rack.
Old Monroe, Mo. Clate McCaus-
land owns an old tabby cat and a set
ting' hen.
The cat had four kittens. Tiic
hen's eggs failed to hatch. Mrs. Hen
became Jealous of Mrs. Cat and there
were lively times about the Mccaus
land farn for a while, but It was fin
ally settled by the pair dividing the
care of the kittens. t
Mrs. Cat went visiting. ono after
noon and Mrs. Hen persuaded the
kittens to take refuge under her
wings. When Mrs. Cat returned her
babies were nowhere in sight. She
looked all around for them and fin
ally appealed to Virgil Murphy, who
lives at the McCauslnnd home. He
went to the hen house and hearing
a mewing sound emitting from under
Mrs. Hen's wings, investigated. Ho
found the four kittens.
Murphy returned the kittens to
Mrs. Cat and Mrs. Hen gave battle.
The same thing occurred next day.
Upon the hecond repetition the peace
pact was arranged.
Do you read the Bast OregonlanT
Liend, Ore. Through reports come
In to tlie interior to the effect that
the country at large is experiencing
something of a "dull time" as regards
real estate movement, activity in
central Oregon, while not as decided
as earlier in the .year, continues to
show a continued interest, on the
part of outside capital. In investment
in the state's new Inland territory.
One of the most noticeable features
of tho recent buying and influx of
outside capital is the fact that more
and more money is now coming from
Portland. Hitherto the great major
ity of tho money that has found in
vestment in Interior Oregon has come'
from Washington, and particularly
from Seattle. This statement is es
pecially true of Bend, It being reck
oned that here four dollars have
come from the I'uget Sound city to
every one that has found its way
from Portland. One of the chief rea
sons for this condition is the fact
that there has been a period of dull
ness on the Sound, while Portland
money has- found ample opportunity
fer profltuble occupation at home.
A feature of Central Oregon Invest
ment that is of Importance to the de
velopment of the country is the fact
thut npw less attenion is being di
rected to speculation in town property
this being superseded by legitimate
purchasing of farm properties. A big
new field in this direction that rap
idly is coming to the front is the
homestead land that Is being settled
tip to the southeast of Bend. While
h will be 10 months before patent is
obtained to practically any of this
territory, It Is understood that already
not a little preliminary dickering is
In progress for the purchase and am
algamation into large tracts, for
wheat-producing purchases, of much
of this land. However, title to the
majority cf It will not be acquired
from the government for five yearn,
this being the term of residence re
quired for the settlers who are taking
up 320-acre homesteads under the
Mondell act.
