During the last two years large

by man named w. Stanley alias

in the northeast corner of Rankin

intended to give away every body

which he did-giving information
which has already led to the ar
rest of three of his confederates,
while it is certain that others will be
arrested. The captured dies, all of
which are made OF steel, and were
executed by old man Finn, are ex-
cellent pieces of workmanship.
There were dies for making nickles,

The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1880-09-16

Wherever farmers find ready sale for
milk they are invariably rich or pros
porous. Clarke county is far better
adapted to dairy farming than any
other pursuit. Streams of pure mount
ain water; springs of cold water in
abundance; white clover, the best of
all grasses for milk production and
from which the finest grades of butter
are made in the Atlantic states, are all
found in abundance in all parts of this
county. The people have fair stock in
cows, and only need the stimulus Of II
good market to make this county still
more famous than it now is for the eX-
cellence of its butter. In this connec-
ton it is happy that one of the most
enterprising men of our neighboring
city of Portland has entered into the
business of developing the trade in
butter, and stimulating its manufac-
ture. Mr.. ID. III. Stearns, the former
editor and proprietor of the Daily Bee.
since selling that paper, has perfected Il
creamer of his own invention, which
will separate the cream from the milk
in all weathers and under almost any
circumstances, in from four to six
hours, and has put his apparatus into
DTtttitdl tt~t Il lllN wv bAiNilitNNs W.
think it fortunate for both Mr.. Stearns
and many of our readers that he has
chosen Clarke county rs his first field
of operation. He proposes to buy milk
from the producers and make it into
butter on the same principle that the
miller buys wheat and makes il into
-four. He has already one factory in
operation, on the farm of Mr.. Thomas
Dornan of Fern Prairie, which under
the charge of Mr.. Dorman, II of the
best. butter makers of the county, is
turning out as fine butter as eve was
made on the coast. The price paid for
milk is onedollar per hundred pounds.
Mr.. Stearns intends to put in opera
ton five or six fectories by the open
ing Of spring, if localities can be found
where milk from 100 or more COWS can
be had convenient to the factory.
