RATHDRUM'S ENTERPRISE.
fhe Creamery is in Operation and
Prospects are Flattering.
STOCKHOLDERS ARE WELL PLEASED.

4 The Rathdrum creamery began oper-
&atlOn un the 20th OF May, and the
business men Of this place who fur
nished the money to start the enter
prise are we'll pleased with the success
Of their undertaking.
The creamery started off with 1,175
pounds OF milk the first day, but the
supply has increased each day since
the enterprise has been in opera
tion and at present nearly 5000
pounds is the daily average with pros
! poets that this amount will be dou-
bled Within a few months. Its pa
irons are increasing daily, and are
scattered over the whole prairie from
Hauer to Hayden lake. AS soon as
the farmers realize the bene-
fits Of an institution Of this kind
there is no doubt that the creamery
will run at its fullest capacity, which
is 5000 pounds of milk daily. At
present the farmers are receiving an
average of about 80 cents per cwt. for
their milk, which amounts to about
20 cents per pound of butter. The
:, Institution is turning out a superior
|Aarticle, and good orders for butter are
4 already coming in from neghboring
/ towns.
The creamery is located in Rays
addition and consists of a frame
Astructure 26x5O feet, IA feet high,
with projecting platform rooted ov-
ger where the milk is received and
weighed. A neat cupalo lends at
8tractiveness to the exterior as we'll as
Ito thoroughly ventilate the interior.
The interior is divided into engine
3room, 14x26 feet; work room, 18x26
III feet; office, 1Ox12 feet; cold storage
n room, 6x18 feet. and a room 12x18
& feet where sufficient ice will be packed
to last through the season. A IL
d horse power boiler and engine fur
N nishes the power.
In the work room are three vats of
ID 300 gallons capacity each; one De La
M vale "Alpha" cream separator, with
a. capacity of separating 1900 pounds
of milk per hour; one churn, capacity
800 gallons per each churning; one
latest improved ''National" butter
worker, with a capacity Of 300 pounds;
and numerous other appliances and
fixtures, in fact everything that is
necessary or can be of use in thor
oughly equipped creamery. The to-
tai equipment was furnished by the
Creamery Package Manufacturing Co..
of Mankato, MINI. The construction
of the building and furnishing Of the
entire plant was under the manage
ment of Mr., O. 0. Briggs Of this
place, man of thorough knowledge
n and many years experience in the bus
4 mess, having been employed in Min
n .nesota in one of the best creameries
Nm the state.
The institution, unlike most OF it's
kind, presents neat and inviting ap-
Il pearance, which proves that its man

SILVER SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
When the Worlds Annual Product
Was At the Highest Figures
BAR SILVER WAS WORTH$ .29PEROz,

80 " 81
4. In 1873 the price OF bar silver In |
London was $1.29 and the worlds /
productions Of silver was SO, ,267, 900 /
ounces. In 1894 the worlds produc-
tion was 52,07l 800 ounces, and had |
fallen to $0.63t. Can not the reader
see the relation OF the facts to each
other. Exchange.
II there were no other important |
facts bearing upon the subject, It'll
would appear very plain to the reader
that the decreased price per ounce is
due solely to the increased supply.
However, anything that would limit
the demand would also tend to reduce
the price.
The demonetizationo silver Ia 1873
limited the demand, and necessarily
had something to do with reducing
the price.
Tn 1852 the worlds annual product
OF silver was 26,O32, $50 ounces. In
1873 it was 63, 267, 900 or an increase
of 143 per cent. In 1894 it was 1862,
OH 800 or an increase in the latter
twenty-one year period of only 40:
per cent. In 1852 the price of silver
in the London market was 81. 20 per
ounce, just the same as it was in
1873. Under twenty-one years of free
coinage, from 1862 TO 1873, the
worlds annual products of silver In
creased 143 per cent, and the value
of an ounce of silver was the same at
the end of the period as at the begin
ming of the period; under twenty-one
years of a single gold standard, from
1873 to 1894. the worlds annual pro-
duct of silver increased only 140 per
cent, but at the end OF the period,
the price of bar silver in the London
market was only 62t cents per ounce,
less than half what it was at the be-
ginning Of the period.
We presume the reader can see the
relation of these facts, to each other
also.
But that isn't all. The value Of
gold is subject to the law Of supply
and demand just the same as the val
ue of silver or any other commodity.
The demonetizati0n of silver not only
lessened the demand for silver but it
increased the demand for gold. The
value of the two metals were effected
equally but. in an inverse ratio. The
value of gold was appreciated just as
the value of silver was deprecated.
Instead of saying that silver had
fallen to$O.634 per ounce, it would be
equally correct for our esteemed
| friends to say that the price of gold had
advanced to more than double. In
fact it would be more nearly correct.
One dollar in gold would purchase
not only twice as much silver In 1894
as it would in 1878, but it would pur-
chase twice as much OF almost any
other commodity.
Another point that throws consid-
cradle light on the question, is the
fact that in June, 1890, congress,
temporarily at least, partially restor-
led the monetary demand for sil-

BRANCHVILLE.
SOME HANDSOME HORSES.

Branchville may be behind the times in some respects, but when it comes to fine horses, it is right up to date. A wis., it to the stables of George w. Godfrey, whose farm is located about one-half mile below the Branchville station on the main road to Georgetown, disclosed the fact that this season two very handsome standard bred stallions will stand at this farm. Lord Startle was there last sea- son and remains this year. He is much improved during the past year and is beautiful bay stallion from the best trot- ting stock the country affords. His colts have all been of excellent size and form and are bound to make great performers. Lord Startle is a very fast mover, and this fall will be put into training, when 1t is expected he will go much faster than 20 Mir Godfrey also has at his barn. this season.

rusERAL OF EDWARD s. cRoFuTT.

The home of MT and Mrs sherman Crofutt in Taunton district was filled last Friday afternoon, May l6, at the funeral services of their only son, Edward, IT years of age. The neighbors and friends of the family manifested great sympathy with the parent in their peculiar loss. The children from the Taunton school house came almost as body to show their regard for the former schoolmate of many of them. Every one spoke in the highest terms of the deceased as one who was honored and respected by all who knew him. The gift of flowers was profuse and beautiful, a piece from the employees iu the office of the Danbury Dispatch, wh, re young Crofutt worked as printer, being especially touching in the friendship it showed. The inter ment was in the Newtown cemetery.
 Rev Otis W. Barker, of the Congrega- tional church, officiated and preached 8 thoughtful and timely sermon from the words: "Let me die the death of the righteous" Numbers 23: 10. Among other things, MT Barker said: 'These are the words of Balaam, a wicked man, a prophet of God who endeavored to curse the children of Israel, and, thwarJ- ed by Gods interpretation in that, then tried to entrap them into idolatry with the Midianites. This is not the first in- stance on record where a wicked man has confessed the blessedness of righ- teous life and has admitted that "godli ness with contentment is great gain" AL though wicked men may pass their lives in defiance of God and in opposition to His will, very few of them wish to pass out of life that way. The death of the righteous man is desirable thing be- cause all know that he goes to the win- hing side of things. Wicked men know shame and anguish and pain and despair, and they do not desire that. All know that with the righteous man after the sorrow comes the joy, after the cross comes the crown, after the loss comes the gain, and that is what all want. The death of the righteous is a desirable thing because it is happy, peaceful death. It is not the happiness that ex- presses itself in litter or giggle; it is not as & flake of foam upon the water crest it is the silent, deep stream that opens into greater fulness as it flows. It is a happiness like that of Christ, who in the last sad night of His life was able to pray for His disciples that His joy, the joy which He then knew of full surren- der of His life. might be theirs. If the death of the righteous is so desira ble a thing, how are we to achieve it? It will never come by wishing. We do not dream ourselves into bliss or sing our selves into glory. Death is but an incl dent in true life, there is no break in the chain. The only way to die the death of the righteous is to live the life of the righteous; and there is nothing in the world that better pays.
