A GROWING BUSINESS
Report states that the garlic
trade, is springing up in Fng
land, and that tons and tons are
now sold where once but Pinal)
lots were disposed of before. An
old French peasant woman who
had been assisting in the care
of the wounded soldiers was
found to be very successful, and
her work being investigated by
a surgeon he found that it was
due to her use of garlic as a
dressing. The juice of garlic
diluted in three or four parts of
distilled water and applied to a
wound is said to stop infection
and cause the wound to heal
quickly.
Use of Colors in Foods
A Food Inspection Decision
has been issued by the United
States Department of Agricul
ture permitting the use of tar
trazine in coloring food pro
ducts. Investigations have shown
this color to be harmless mid
suitable for coloring foods. It
is manufactured in large quan
tities in the United States. Sev
en other coal-tar dyes have been
permitted in foods since the en
actment of the Food and Drugs
Act. Samples of all dyes certi
fied by the manufacturers are
examined in the Bureau of
Chemistry and only such dyes
permitted ns are free from im
purites and harmful substances.
Another decision has recently
been issued making more strin
gent requirements in reference
to the certification of coal-tar
dyes when mixed with sub
stances not coal-tar dyes. This
decision provides that hereafter
the manufacturer shall deposit
with the Secretary of Agricul
...... i i . .1
lure a declaration mm everv
package in which any such mix
ture is sold shall have' a plain
and conspicuous statement of the
quantity or proportion of the
certified dyes present in the mix
ture.
Oregon's Portion
Secretary of State Olcott has
apportioned $19,075.83, received
from the Federal Government
from forest reserve rentals, sales
of timber and other sources from
forest reserves for the year end
ing June 30, 1915, to those
couutries in which the forest re
serves are situated, in propor
tion as the forest area within
each county bears to the entire
forest area of the State.
The countries are required to
divide the moneys so received
: i i . . .
in rium puns ueiween ineir
school and road funds to be ex -
pended as other moneys in said
funds are expended.
The apportionment is based
on the net or actual national
forest area within each county
as furnished by the Forest Serv
ice of the Department of Agri-
culture at Washington.
The acting forester, in trans
mittinjj the schedule of National
Forest areas, states: "This
st jifiue jJ!lg J)n.n 00n)JUU'd Oil
a different tmsis from those
previously furnished, inasmuch
as it includes only 'net' areas,
namely: actual National Forest
lands exclusive of alienated
lands. The former schedules
were based on 'gross' areas, and
included the alienated lands fall
ing within National Forest
boundaries. The Forest Serv
ice has always been recognized
that the basis now used is the
logical one, but it has not been
possible heretofore to segregate
the two classes of lands with
sufiicient accuracy.
All the counties of the State
participate in the listriiution
of this sum with the exception
of Clatsop, Columbia, Gilliam,
Sherman, and Washington, in
which no National Forest lands
are situated. Oregon Voter.
Pacific Coast Traffic League
The Pacific Coast' Traffic
League, the membershipof which
consists of traflic directors, man
agers, commissioners, or other
otlicials in charge of traffic, of
regularly organized traflic bu
reaus, associations or chambers
of commerce representing any
(iitv or town situated west of the
Sierra Nevada or Cascade Moun
tains, was organized at San
Francisco on January 17, 191(1
The object of this league, us
stated in the constitution adopt
ed, is to interchange ideas con
cerning traflic matters; to co
operate with the Interstate Com
merce Commission, State Rail
road Commissions and transpor
tation companies in promoting
and securing a better under
standing by the public and the
State and National governments
of the traflic needs of the Pacific
Coast; to secure proper legisla
tion where deemed necessary,
anil the modification of present
laws, regulations and rulings
where considered harmful to the
free interchange of commerce;
with the view to advance fair
dealing, and to promote, con
serve, and protect the coinmer
cial, manufacturing and trans
puliation interests of the Pacific
Coast. Matters of purely local
I .
concern or individual interest
shall not be within the scope of
the league.
The officers for the ensuing
year are: Seth Mann, San Fran
cisco, President; V. A. Mears,
Seattle, Vice-President; John S
Willis, San Francisco, Secretary
Treasurer. The directors are,
in addition to Mr. Mann and
Mr. Mears, F. P. Gregson, Los
Angeles; George J. Uradley, Sac
ramento, and J. II. Lothrop,
Portland.
Meetings will he held annu
ally, or whenever called by the
President at the request of mem
bers. Many subjects of mutual
interest, however, will be han
dled by correspondence.
At the San Francisco meeting
a number of matters of general
interest to the Pacific Coast were
'considered.
Among them was
recommendation to amend the
law so as to require 00 days
notice to the Commission and to
the public in the case of advances
in rates.
Resolution was adopted that
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission should furnish protes
tants with a brief statement of
facts submitted by carriers in
justification of advances iu their
tariff rates which have been pro
tested, so that prote.-tanls may
have an opportunity to answer.
Resolution was adopted tual
Congressmen from Pacific Coast
states s hould he urged to sup
port and work for passage of a
bill looking to the increase of
membership of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Resolution was also adopted
urging Congressmen to support
a bill which will exempt express ;
and baggage from the Cummins
Amendment to the Interstate
Commerce Act pertaining to the
liability of carriers.
Resolution was adopted that
each organization should ascer
tain the views of the people in
its locality with respect to the
matter of placing carriers by
water under the jurisdiction of
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
On account of the Pacific
Const states beinir so far re
moved from the headquarters of
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and the interests of the
Coast being often somewhat dif
ferent from those of the terri
tories east of the mountains, it
is believed that this organization
will be of much benefit to the
Pacific Coast country both in
matters of transportation and
legislation.
The next regular meeting of
the league will be held at San
Francisco commencing the sec
ond Monday of September, 1916
