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."
For IVcinii, Tetter hiiiI Salt Itbciim.
The Intense Itching characteristic
of these ailments Is almost Instnntly
allayed by Chamberlain's Salve.
Many severe cases have been cured
by It. For salo by M. Clemens.
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

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.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

OREGON APPLES
FOUND IN HOLLAND
H. I,. 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. MARTHts".'

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.!

: 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.
