DR.. Geo. A. Bethune, State Chemist of
the State of Washington, has examined the
various baking powders of the market, and
speaks emphatically as to which he consid.
ers the best. He says:
A series of carefully made tests of the
baking powders sold in tn market shows
that the Royal yields the largest percentage
of leavening gas. This powder is also found
free from any harmful or even Questionable
Ingredient; its constituents are of ex,ep-
tIonal purity, so combined that 1t produces
the purest and most wholesom food.
There is, therefore, no question but the

Schultz this morning, and Mr.. w. Birgfeld
was arrested:
We, the jury empaneled by the coroner
of Wasco county, Oregon, to inquire into
the cause of the death of the late Matilda

deceased is Matilda c. Rogers; that she
died Thursday morning, June 30, 1892, at
the Rogers farm ON Mill creek, near Dalles
City, Or; that her death WAS caused by
poison, administered by some person: that
we. have, from the testimony taken and PRE-

William Birgfeld is the person who is guilty

in that vicinity: the crop outlook for
Union county is anything but cncourag-

make an average crop it is quite evident
that the late spring gram, OF whlrh there
is q large amount in this vicinity, will
make but a light crop. From various
sections of Elk Flat precinct comes dis
couraging reports In regard to late grain
and the chances are that considerable
