Food and D ru g B .
Everyuody will agree with Pro­
fessor Joseph Remington that the
pure-food law is one of the most
beneficial pieces of recent legisla­
tion. Even if, as he says, the com­
mon adulterations of food and drugs
are Dot poisonous, they are none
the less exasperating. Wheq a per­
son pays his money for coffee he
ought by good rights to get coffee,
and not bread pills.
Nor does it
make the matter right to insist that
the bread pills are not lethal. If
the purchaser bad desired that mild
Confection he would have uaked for
it, and not for coffee.
Are we all
babes without reason, that our
grocers must dole out what we shall

wishes?

Still, there is a
silver lining to the cloud, dark as it

The story of the New Orleans
kidnaping tragedy reads like one of
those tales from the heathenish
districts of the Old "World where
outlawry thieves and neither life
nor property is safe. The crime is
one of the results of the indiscrimi­
nate admission into the United
States of all kinds of humanity from
beyond the seas.
There were no
“ Black Hands” nor “ Inner Circles’’
in the United States a few years
ago, and that they are now here and
are kidnaping, murlering
and
dynamiting innocent people who
fail to pay the price for immunity is
the fault of our loose immigration
laws. The yellow races across the
Pacific are not regarded as desire-
able timber for American citizen­
ship, but the “yellowest” heatbeD
that ever came out of China or
Japan could hardly committ worse
crimes than are traced to the “ Black
Hand” and the “ Inner Circle.” —

Doctors Mend Broken Spine.
W hite Oirl ie Outraged.
Ruinous Forest Fires.
San Barnardino, Cal., June 26.
— One of the moat remarkable sur­
gical cases ever coming before the
profession of this section is just
now attracting great interest at
the county hospital, where Edward
Ortega lies on a cot with his spinal
cord severed, a large portion having
been taken away, and the cord
tied together.
Ortega is but fifteen years old.
He made a heroic effort to save his
sister, two years his junio'r, from
tbe attack of two strangers, and in
the struggle which followed, the
sister grabbed a revolver from bis
pocket and in trying to shoot one
of the assailants, accidentally wound­
ed her brother, tbe bullet passing
into the boy’s back, fracturing his
spinal boDe and severing the cord.
Medical Superintendent Strong and
Dr. Thomas B. Heard attended him.
The entire lower portion of h s body
was paralyzed.
The wound was
probed and fragments of the spinal
bone taken away. A surgical opera­
tion of the most delicate nature was
performed, the surgeons cutting
away a portion of the bone, and
getting the two severed ends of the
spinal cord together.
Somewhere within the boy’s
body the bullet is imbedded. The
surgeons dared not probe further,
and after necessary preparations
for draining the wound, as the
healing progressed, they closed up
the wound, and though not believ­
ing that the patient would live
twenty-four hours, have now after
seven days been forced to admit
that his chanoes for recovery are
excellent.
Portland. June 26.— While mak­
ing a raid on a Chinese gambling
den in thia city today the police
made a revolting discovery by ihe
finding of a white girl named Alma
Churoh whose residence is in Spo­
kane, who has been held in captive
more than three years.
According
to the girl’s story she was trapped
while visitiug a Ghinose restaurant
and taken to a barred room which
she was never allowed to leave ex­
cept when heavily guarded.
The girl is terror-stricken and al­
most a nervous wreck. The find­
ing of the girl winds up a mystery
which detectives have been trying
to solve for more than a year. At
that time they were informed by a
reliable person that, while passing
Second and Taylor streets, he saw
a white woman at a barred window
and that she appealed to him to res­
cue her. Detectives were rushed
to tbe house and a search made,
but the girl had been secreted in
the meantime. A warrant has been
issued for the girl’s captor, but up
to the present time he has eluded
arrest.
Port Townsend, June 27.— The
enormous forest fire which haB been
raging the past few days in tbe
Port Discovery Bay region is now
believed to be under control, after
doing hundreds of thousands of
dollars of damage to oedar forests.
The fire originated from sparks of a
donkey engine and started so quick­
ly that the engineer was cut off
from escape. He saved his life by
burying himself to tde neck in the
ground and covering bis head with
wet sacks.
Comrades found him
after the fire passed gathering up
undestroyed portions of the ma­
chinery. The timber ia owned by
a subsidiary company of the Chi­
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail-
road.

Ninty acres contaning
about one million feet of good fir
and white cedar timber. There are
at leart one thousand fiue apple
trees on the place which are begin-
ing to bare. A grand opportunty
for the right person. Inquire at
the H e r a l d office or of R. J. Dean.
If timber land values in other
countries are anywhere near the
same as in Columbia County the
plan of having timber land cruised
by experts for assesment purposes
is likely to p/ove a very profitable
scheme for the counties that have
undertaken it.
There has been
same doubt whether the results
would justifiy the expense of em­
ploying cruisers.
In Columbia
county much of the cruising has
been done, and as an illustration
of results, it is asserted that one
section that has been assessed here­
tofore at a little less than $9000 has
timber enough on it to be worth
$64,000 for stumpage. A quarter
section, 160 acres, which had been
assessed in the past af $1040 is
found to count iD timber of the value
of 26,000.
The cruiser not only
makes an estimate of the quantity
of timber of the various grades, but
also makes an examination and re­
port upon the soil and topography
of the land, so that its value, aside
from the standing timber, may be
ascertained approximately. In caHe
of litigation the expert will be pre­
pared to back up his figures with
evidence o f the value of the timber.
Adding to tbe assessment roll
large sums like that mentioned, and
quite a large number of them, will
lighted the tax burden upon .farm­
ers generally.
What is true of
Columbia is probably true of other
countries that include heavily tim­
bered laDd.
Having ODce exam­
ined the timber and estimated its
quantity, the work will not have to
to be done agaiD for a number of
years, for the only changes in quan-
titp will be those due to sawing
logs or burniug timber. With the
quantity known the value can be
easily determined for each year, ac­
cording to the market value in
each particular community.
In a
period of five or ten years the orig­
inal cost of the crushing will not be
enough to be worthy of mention,
provided the work has been well
done.— Oregonian.
In San Franoiaco architects drew
plans for a large building, putting
the estimate of cost at two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. When
the bids were received the lowest
one was three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars or an increased
cost of forty per cent.
The build­
ing will not be erected. In Tacoma
the architects figured the cost of a
building at two hundred thousand
dollars.
The bids ranged from
about two hundred and seventy-
five thousand to three hundred and
twenty-five thousand.
These are
extreme cases, but they Bhow the
tendency toward abnormal cost and
and the consequent decrease in
building.— West Coast Lumberman.
