A Cooperative Enterprise Owned and Con-
trolled by the Farmers Living in
this Vicinity
Over Million Pounds of Milk Separated in
Ten Months and Fifty Thousand
Pounds Of Butter

The Morris Creamery association
was Incorporated in March 1896, and
commenced operations on May 10Th
following. Since then the creamery
has run continuously except dur
ing the holiday week between Christ
mas and New Years.
In the past ter months over one
million pounds of milk have been
separated and nearly fifty thousand
pounds of butter made Nearly
$4,000 has been realized from the
manufactured product and about
seventy different farmers have par
ticipated in sharing its pay roll.
The creamery is run on the coop.
erative plan; and the farmers get
everything above actual expenses
and sinking fund assessed at 5
cents per 100 pounds Of milk; the lat
ter being applied in payment of the
indebtedness incurred in building
and equipping
THE PLANT.
The original plant cost $1,000 and
was bought alta slight figure above
cost. It included a 10-horse power,
stationary engine, 14-horse power
boiler, one De Laval separator with
skimming. capacity of $500 pounds
per hour, and all necessary watts,
pipes, connections and apparatus.
The breakage on the plant has been
repaired at less expense than $l.00
per month since starting.
A new separator was found to<be a
necessity on account of an increased
patronage, and the manager, under
instructions from the association, pur-
chased one April LIST and the cream
cry will soon be equipped with two
separators. The management ex-
poets large patronage by May lst,
and predict that both separators will
be worked to their full capacity
10000 lbs) on Monday of each week
during the summer months.
The association has never lost
and general satisfaction has been
given every farmer patronizing the
creamery.
During the past ten months there
have probably been as many pounds
of dairy butter sold at Morris'by
farmers who reside outside the range
of the creamery as the creamery has /
made, and the following comparison
will show. whether creamery goods
sell for more than dairy:
$4,000 pounds creamery butter aver
aging 18c per pound, $4,000.
$4,000 pounds dairy butter averag-
1oc, $1,000.
Another thing not usually known,
and il known, not conceded, is that
100 pounds of milk testing per cent
butter fat will by the separator pro-
cess make 4albs of butter, while the
same milk by the old gravitation pro-
cess of skimming the top off the pan
only yields Abs of butter. Here
again is food for thought for farmers
who are economically inclined:
One million pounds of milk make
At the Morris creamery 50,0O0lbs of
butter; one million pounds of milk

The system of the County One of the Most
Perfect and Best Improved in the
Northwest.
The Adoption Of the Free Text Book System
Proving Satisfactory and OF Great
Benefit to All.

The publ, school system of Min

the country and is constantly being
improved and made more. effective

of 5000 teachers will compare favor.
ably with those of any other state IN
ihe Union. Locally the cause ol
education has taken fresh start, and
Stevens county, with its corps OF sew
enty we'll qualified teachers, IS doing
a grand work in educating and train
ing the l 500 pupils within its borders.
A good idea of the position popular
education holds in Stevens county
may be had by considering the
amount of money expended for the
purposes of education for the two
PEARS just past.
In 1896 there was paid for teachers
wages the of sum Sl2,500,a land in '96 it
amounted to $I6,8OO. During the
year just closed, the total amount ex
pended in educational work in the
county
EXCEEDED $26,800,
including teachers wages, fuel, ap-
paratus, textbooks, ETC., while the
total receipts, together with the cash
on hand at the beginning of the year
amounted to $35, 7O8. The value of
school property in the county is esti-
mated to be about $4,000.
From the above facts and figures
It appears that the people of Stevens
county, realizing its Importance and
appreciating its utility, have provided
most literally for education, and it is
safe to say that our schools, both
rural and city, will not suffer in COM
parison with those of any other coun
ty in the state. whether in point of
results or equipment.
With very few exceptions the
teachers employed are capable land
progressive. while the large attend
ance at summer schools and teachers
Institutes, and the interest manifested
N university extension and reading
circle work, demonstrate that they
are striving for what is best and high
est in their chosen vocation. 1t is
fair to presume that with its present
corps of earnest, energetic and pro-
gressive teachers, manifesting as they
do healthy desire to improve, both
ACCIDENTALLY and professionally,
Stevens county may well expect to
accomplish a great deal in the way
of popular education during the next
lew years.
At present there are not very many
libraries in the country districts, but
as attention of teachers and school
boards has but recently been directed
10 this important matter, and as there
seems to be unanimitY of opinion
ss to benefits derived from them, it
will not be long before most districts
will be supplied.

From the Argonaut.
Some years ago, while visiting the Spo-
kanes. Gen. Philip Sheridan related to the
Indians through an interpreter the won
ders of the railroad, and then waited to
see what effect the revelation would have
upon them.
What do they say?" he asked the inter-
prefer.
They say they don't believe it," was the
answer.
Sheridan then described the steamboat
and the interpreter repeated this
What do they say to that?" the general
again asked, seeing the Indians faces all
impassive.
They say they don't believe that, either -
Then the general gave an account of the
telephone, and told how a man at the end
OF long wire had talked to a man at the
other end of it. The interpreter remained
