The De Smet creamery made 10000

receipts run as high 10000 pounds some

The DE Smet creamery, started hut a
year ago. has been enlarged twice and
cost up to date $4,000. Still, it appears,
that the plant is inadequate to handle the
milk offered. The News-Leader says:
The directors of the creamery company
are making an effort 10 sell enough
stock TO enlarge the creamery. 1t is

the milk that will be furnished this sum
mer it will be necessary to enlarge the

more to be disposed of in order to go
ahead with the work, but the board want

They hope these can be sold, as other
wise they may be obliged to refuse milk
from anyone not a stock holder. and it
certainly is for the interest of everybody
to be able to handle it all.

REFCNDING.

The Senate eommitte have not COW
cred themselves with glory over the
loan bills. The majority say that
the greater part of the bonds now
issued are held here, and consequently
the money collected as interest is
spent here. In the event of consolida-
ton OF the whole debt the in
terest would be sent away and would
thus be a continual drain upon the
country" And in the very next sen
tence they say, "a consolidation Of the
public debt should take place
some time, but the matter should be
more looked into"
II consolidation is going to Be
drain upon the country now, We fail
TO see how it is going TO be less of
drain z couple Of years hence. The
argument does not hang together. If
il is a disadvantage now, how is it
going 10 be an advantage then, and yet
they consider it an advantage for they
say il will be great saving of interest
10 the country" However, they are
willing that a loan of 5000 should be
made here at the s per cent rate of
We will venture 10 say that
if such a bill is brought into the Sen
ate. the senators won't know their
bond bill when it is returned to them
from the House.
