DON'T YOU THINK so?

Would it not be well and desirable for the
manufacturers of ammonia-drugged baking
powder as soon as they have succeeded in
their aggressive war against alum powders
to retire gracefully themselves and leave the
field to the New England Baking Powder
which contains neither alum, ammonia mol
anything but the highest grades of cream
tartar and soda in correct proportions,
which alone constitutes an absolutely pure
baking powder.

NO GOOD REASON WHY

Why use ammonia-drugged and starch
loaded powders when you can obtain from
any respectable grocer the New England
Baking Powder, the ingredients of which
are well known and unquestionable? Rest
assured it is the best, a a single trial will
prove.

THE PACIFIC BANK.

This sterling institution has completed its
nineteenth year. Its thirty eighth semi

abreast of the course of business develop

but for centuries. Beginning with broad
and lasting foundation of resources and as
sets, they reared a structure which has not
only stood mistaken, but actually grown
stronger with the financial storms which
have toppled in TO ruins so many pretentious
rivals To-day the Pacific is the ne Plus ul-
ira of banking institutions on the Coast,
not only first, but unrivaled Continuing
under the direction of DR.. X. II. Mcdonald,
to whose sagacious and conservative man.

SO largely due, the future of the Bank is
assured.

Jacob Idle claims to have flock of
champion sheep. He has lately weigh
ed several of them. and one eve 3
years old weighed POO lbs, and one
eve 3 years old weighed 240 lbs, and
one buck , years old weighed 236 lbs.
The feed of these sheep has been to
run in summer pasture till snow came,
and they were taken to the barn with
out any fall feed. Since coming to the
barn their feed has been either early
cut hay or rowen twice a day, nothing
more and nothing less. No grain or
meal or roots of any kind has been
given them. The ewes all raised
lambs the past year. There are Il
number of other ewes that will weigh
in the vicinity of 200 lbs. each. If
any of the fine wool Tor any other
woody men will beat this, Mr.. Idle will
try again.

If the tenth anniversary of the
wedding day of Geo. A. Wright and
wife had escaped their notice, they
were happily reminded of the same,
last Monday evening, by the gathering
at their home of about seventy friends,
from this and adjoining towns, who
left testimonials of good will, to the
value of some seventyfve dollars.
There were a few useful articles of tin
ware, just enough to flavor the Occas-
ion, while the remainder of the list
comprised crOckery and silver ware,
cotton, linen and wOollen articles, and
last, but not least, few illegal ten
ders," thrown in for the sake of variety.
The wedding cake and substantials fOr
the assembled guests were supplied by
the same thoughtful minds who were
responsible for the surprise, and the
occasion was one of enjoyment to all
who participated. On separating, each
could but wish that the pathway of the
happy couple i'll the future might be as
bright, and thickly strewn with tenn
pOral blessings as shown the stars on
this anniversary evening.

A Legal Chapter.
Judge Ross has just given decision
which is of considerable interest.
Cloud Harvey, as assignee of w. II.
Lvnds' insolvent estate, sold the grow
ing crops on the estate; whereupon
Lynds brought suit to recover the pro
ceeds of the sale. Judge Ross has de-
cided in favor of Lynds, holding that
the growing crops belong to the insol-
vent and not to the assignee-On the
ground that these crops are by statute
exempt from attachment and therefore
cannot be controlled by an assignee.

on to the track, and, in spite of every
possible effort to avoid hitting them, Il
Young heifer was struck and carried
some ways. The testimony of one OF
