COMMISSION MEN ROB GROWERS Government official connected with the agricultural department at Washington have made an InveBtlga tlon Into the methods of commlnalon men who handle fruit and It la ttaid that thiMe Investigations lay bare the fact that the following Illegal prac tices are going on among this clans of dealers and It Is hoped that the organization of a fruit growers uni on In the Itogue Ulver valley will put a stop to these practices as far as our fruits are concerned: First The account sales do not always give the aetunl price received, nor do they tell where such fruit was sold. In other words, the statements sent out to the producer are false as to price and destination. Second The condition of the fruit on arrival at destination is often mis represented so as to further lower the price to the grower. Third Rebating Is practiced so as to secure a certain few growers who may be representative, and by this means other growers sell at the low figure offered. The growers who en ter into this nefarious contract with certain shippers act their part by showing satisfaction with prevailing low prices. At I ho end of the season the shipper pays the rebate to these confederates In cash. Fourth In the dried fruit busi ness, such as apricots, peaches, etc., the grower Is forced to bring his pro ducts Into market bone dry. If they do not come up to this requirement, the fruit is rejected. The bone dry fruit Is then soaked with water and finally resulplinred. This Is what Is technically l,:;own as "processing i no ciirrei civ I- net ween t no dry pro duct a! ! the processed article is wuter and 1I2S04, which is practi cally nil profit. A legitimate amount or water should he tlie growers profit. Fifth The grower is forced by many shippers to pack only In boxes with the company's stencil on It. Fruit, otherwise packed Is not ac cepted. In this way the company or buyer may charge what be sees fit for the pnekage. In many localities the buyers control the prices on all sorts of spray mnterlals as well as spray outfits, so that the grower is completely at their mercy. Tho conditions existing under paragraph 1 and 2 have been Inves tigated by certain growers enclosing post cards In the packages. The card Is self addressed, and asks the following pertinent questions: (1 ) Where was this fruit received? (2) When was It received? (3) What was its condition? (4) What was the price paid? (5) Were yon satisfied with It? The average of 10 per cent of these cards have been returned, many Indicating that the time of arrival, place and condition did not agree with the account sales rendered. In commenting on this report a prominent bureau official says: "There I something fundamental ly wrong where the producer, after spending n year In getting a crop and taking all iIhKk, reall.es on an average les than one-third of what the crop or crops be grows seU for at retail."

STOP UNNECESSARY STOCK GAMBLING It Ih said that ('resident Tuft is anxious to stop stock gambling In the tuition's fond and clothlnc and tl .it he conli inplates a special mess ikc to congress i ecominendlng tin1 passage of a law that will enable this to be done, Members of couarcsx representing dlstibts of the large cities of the Fulled States, It Is said. will fuvnr smh legislation. The government, through Commis sioner of Corporations Herbert Knox Smith, has been conducting ait exhaustive Investigation Into stock gamlillng. Smith has already com piled a report on cotton gambling nnd Is at work on the grain situation. The president has watched this work closely and Is now determined that the federal government should deal with this iptestlou. A conference on the uncut Ion will be held at the White House shortly with Secretary of Slate Knox, At torney Ceneial Wbkershain, ltepn sentatlve Siott of Kansas, thairman of the house agricultural committee: Representative Lovetlng of Massa chusetts and Commissioner of Cor. point Ion Smith attending. Representative Scott has already formed a house bill that he believe would effectively prevent 'future gambling It denies the ue of the mails to tock gamblers The presi dent, It is understood, favors even more drastic legislation. A later dispatch coming from Chic- cago says the traders on the Chicago board of trade do not propose to let I congress pass any law curbing deal-j Ing In futures witnoiu a vigorous protest. It was stated on the board today that a delegation would go to Washington soon to lobby against such legislation and to explain to tho president and leaders of the house and senate just how pit trad ing benefits rlie farmer. "The trouble is that people are prejudiced .because they don't un derstand the present system and its benefits," said James A. Patton. "The farmer at present Is enabled to get dally quotations and to know exactly what his grain will bring when marketed. A law preventing dealing in futures on food products . . and cotton would Injure consumer and producer alike, In my opinion. I believe trade would be simply para lyzed. The farmer would get less for his grain, cattle and hogs, and the public would have to pay more. I don't believe congress will pass such a law." DeafnesH Cannot He Cured by local applications, us they cannot j reach the "diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitution-' ul remedies. Deafness Ik caused by an Imflamcd condition of the mucous! lining of the Fustachlan Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hear ing, and when It is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the) Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal eon-i dlllon, hearing will be destroyed i rorevor; nine cases out or ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Conrad, of Medford, received :i letter a few days' ago from ISitScne, this state, which shows that apples from this section find their way Into foreign countries. The letter rends as follows: Dear Sir: I am surprised to receive (his morning a letter from my father, William llartog, firm of llartog & Fesel, Rotterdam, Holland, fron which I quote as follows: "Yesterday I was in The Hague and I happened to see some pears In boxes marked Medford, Oregon. This being the state where you are now living, It attracted my attention, and I noticed that the pears were wrap ped iu paper, of w hich I send you one herewith. Much paper was imprint ed 'Hear Creek Orchard. C. H. Lewis, Medford, Ore.,' and In lead pencil was written, 'Rogue River Valley Cornice.' This Is nothing wonderful because we see American fruit here frequently, hut these Cornice pears, which come front your neighborhood are so wonderfully delicious that people here are delighted with them. veil our Dutch pears cannot com pare with them. 1 he fruit dealer got t belli from Finland and got some of (hem at "." and cents aiiiece I 10 to 12 cents hi American money.) I he pears are simply wrapped In dece of paper and could lie shipped no as to arrive here In much better condition, but they are so delicious that the finest peach or the most de licious grape cannot l compared with them." As he is an importer of Amerlian produce, he wants to know If Mr l.ewls ships these pears to F.urope or whether this Is done through mid dlemen. Would you kindly write me or ak Mr. Lewis to write me, for there seems to bo no reason why this Imsl ness should not be done direct uud the grower get the middleman's v. tra profit. JOHN 11.

ELECTROLYTIC AMALGAMATING Continued from First Page.) Corliss' machines, for we have nothing to sell, neither have we any secrets to hold back. Our device Is simple, cheap and positively efficient In the recovery of all free gold or gold not In combina tion or alloy with metals other than silver. It makes no difference what I kind of material it comes In. All go'.d contained In Iron pyrites, sul phrets, hematites, quartz, talc, clays, porphyry or any other kind of roclc or sulphides, can readily be amal-' garnated, after freed from their con-, tamers, by , electro-chemical process.! Plnti vrinlfnir u.111 11 hum to oil rmM . "., . : encasea. we ao noi advocate any: special machine, for shining is not! detrimental to our process. Wei merely say get the cheapest, best ma chine, whatever that may be. I j I wish to Inform Mr. Corliss and all concerned that we do not em-! ploy any adds whatsoever to clean j I the rusty or corroded gold. The elec tric current and proper electrollte does that; and we are ready to de monstrate this fact to any skeptical person wishing enlightenment. We do not use metallic mercury In our work, but the salt of mercury In metallic form on the copper plates, by the aid of the electric cur- rent We chloridlze the. gold by the aid of sodium chloride or common salt and the electric current. With our gold in this condition and our mercury In solution, they must come In contact, every particle. The mercury In Its nascent state, the gold absolutely free and clean from all oxides or organic matter. There lore, we get complete amalgamation. Our chemists know well the effect ..t ...... i, i . . l"i ii. Kii umiii no oxiue organic matter and foreign substances de trimental to an amalgamating pro cess. There Is nothing in chemistry that Is a greater cleanser or as great an enemy to detrimental foreign sub stances as oxygen gas. We liberate vast quantities of this gas on our plates continuously with the aid of the electric current. The oxygen combines with the sodium chloride, making one of the greatest known cleansers of today. This with the aid of the magnetism of the eleclrlc current or tonic forces, cause nil mercury In solution to be deposited' on tho plate in a metallic form. ! Hence all gold, also. j We have then a pure or nnscent sodium amalgam, ns the mercury Is being manufactured by the electric j current continuously. Certainly this' Is amalgamating under the most fa-1 vorable circumstances nnd, therefore, must get the very best of results. ' How would Mr. Corliss recover gold out of cyanide solution with his process without the aid of elee trlclty? He could not. He would have to employ Home other device. We would not. Neither would the cyanide solution be detrimental to our plate with the current on it. We can deposit all gold and silver out. of cyanide solutions in the same manner as we do the extracting of gold and silver from quartz. We would suggest that all parties Interested In the recovery of Ko and silver from their respective ores look up the electro-chemical process of plating, or the process of deposit- jlng gold or silver on different metals rroin a solution. They will not lie skeptical about the elect rolltle amal gamation of gold. We want to help our neighbors get right. We are tight nnd we don't want to be so "hoggish" nnd mean that we don't want to see our neighbors tight. We haven't any. thing to sell or keep nee ret. We arn sorry that this works a hardship on people that have certain mechanical devices to sell, but we can't help It. Their devices may b Hl right, no doubt, we hope so at least, and If they can recover all values in ore or sand without loss of mercury, well land good. It wll bo a boon to mln. Ing. We mover all values wltout the loss of quicksilver, for It Is I 111 1 If IU slble to flower or sicken mercury that Is being manufactured as you use It In an absolute nascent form as j long as the electric current Is on It. We again Invite any and nil pintles Interested to visit the mine. THOS. J. IIRINCKKRIIOFF. "How d you knew that you av not may!" m nked the accused In a luuacy Invfsiiuitilou.
