fifty per cent higher than in
Oklahoma. Over on the Kan

sessed at one third its cash

all property other than railroad
is assessed at its full value. On

CONDENSED sY FREEZING.



Considering the wide and extend
ed use Of condensed milk product.
the method of manufacturing it bv
a freezing instead of heating proc.
ess, as carried out at CattarauRus
N. Y, is important and interesting
The first treatment consists in plac.
ing the milk in a vacuum chamha,
to rid il of animal gases and atmos.
pheric air dissolved in the lnllk
which appear at the surface in bub.
bles, and thus escape. This re-
duces the volume of the milk about
one-tenth. The milk leaves this
chamber at the proper temperature
for the removal of the fatty con.
tents by means of cream separator
which is set to run heavy cream
During this process any foreign
matter, such as solid particles
which are always in evidence. il
removed, and the cream is added
subsequently, to the finished prod.
uct.
From the separator the fat free
milk is run over bank of copper
pipes, through which ice water cir.
culates, reducing the temperatureo
the milk from so degrees. After
passing over these cooling coils It ia
placed in refrigerating chambers
and constantly stirred. In about
nine hours the whole bulk of milk il
converted into mass of icy crystals
and milk sufficiently thick to form
into hummocks. This is again
placed in a centrifugal and the milk
reduced in volume about one-half
An average sample of the ice, which
looks very much like snow, gives
on analysis only about two-tenths
of 1 per cent of solid matter. The
now thick milk is returned to the
freezing closet, and in about seven
hours more it is reduced to dense
mass of crystals, which, after cen
trifugal treatment, measures only
one-quarter of the original bulk A
third freezing of Az hours and "a
centrifugal extraction reduces the
bulk of the milk to about Is per
cent of its original volume.
The final step of theprocess is the
5 admixture of the heavy cream in
proper proportions to the fat free
milk. This final product, or con
densed milk, is fair representation
of milk minus the bulk of its water.
Moreover, it is free from foreign
flavors and has an aroma which is
) true to the milk from which it is
! prepared. 1t mikes readily with
? water, forming milk from which
cream will separate as from un-
a treated milk. To show the great
: concentration of the milk, it may
t be stated that, taking 100 gallons Of
milk as unit quantity, this would
reduce to 13 gallons in the end. In
: other words, the 81 gallons of water
8 in the milk are formed into ice,
leaving an unfrozen balance of very
: thick milk, which represents in
' milk sugar. oasein and inorganic
9 salts fully nine gallons of solids
). The fat equivalent added by the
heavy cream removed in the first
. operation is adjusted in the final
8 treatment to represent a dilution
Il with water three parts and con-
J: densed milk one part, proportion
u of 6-1O per cent of milk fat, which
i is the normal proportion in the
It average milk. 1t is stated that con-
d densed milk prepared in this man
ner will keep indefinitely, as the

from Wagner. |. r., under
date of July 81. says:
Chief Mayes. of the Chero-
KEGS, has just issued a procla-
nation. calling an extra session
of the Cherokee national coun-
ell for August 3, to consider
several important matters as
brought up by the passage of
the Curtis bill by congress.
One is to take some action to
contest the claim of the Della
ware Indians to 157. 900 acres
of Ceerokee lands, and which |
that bill pl divided for.
Another is t. take some ac-
ton to combat the land grant
claimed by the Missouri. Kan
sas and Texas railway company
of every alternate ten miles
square through the Cherokee
nation, the whole Indian Ter
ritory, for that matter, on each
side of It's track from the Kan
sas line to the Texas line The
Cherokees will claim this to be
only a conditional grant, made
by congress in 1868. which was
to have full force and effect
should the lands of the Indian
Territory ever become ! ublic
lands of the United States. The
Indians of this Territory put up
the plea that these lands will
never and have never become
public lands Of the United
States, hence they can see no
value attached to this claim,
which involves several million
of acres, the best and fairest
lands the Indians possess. How
ever. the Indians have been
notified by the Missouri. Kan
sas and Texas railway officials
that they propose to contend
for the claim as a vested right,
in the courts. Thus it will be
seen that, under the allotment
of lands as provided for in the
Curtis bill, there will be tied
up in the courts for several
years, no telling how long a
, large body of this rich country,
, which is attracting the attention
of the whole country just now,
owing to the recent congress
sional legislation changing the
status of the governmental ma
chinery of these Indians from
their own legislatures and
courts to the secretary of the
interior and the United States
courts.
Another thing that will be
considered is the claim of
the Cherokees for So, 5000, ,0OC
= due them from the United
, States, the claim growing out
of the various treaties made
with the Cherokees from 178s
to the present time.
The full bloods, or Keetoo-
wahs. have a majority in both
the senate and the house. They
have become sullen and stoica,
since passage of the Curtis bill
which took effect the first of the

SENATOR MONEYS SPEECH

Senator Money voiced the sentiments
of the vast majority of American citi-
zens when he declared on the floor OF
the senate yesterday that there is but
one remedy for the existing situation in
Cuba, and that such action should be
taken by the United States as would
bring the war to an end. "If such ac-
ton should bring war;" he said, 'Iet war
come. Any sort of war is better than
a rotting peace"
A "rotting peace" would be the pur-
chase of peace at the price Of dishonor
at the cost of half a million more lives of
helpless starving men, women and
children, deliberately subjected to pol
icy Of determination by a brutal and
merciless government; the failure Of our
own government to demand prompt and
full reparation for the Maine disaster.
1t remains with President Mckinley
and his advisers to choose, first, between
rotting peace, and an honorable war
with complete backdown and abandon
ment on the part of Spain as the only
alternative. Which shall it be?
The herald., 1898-03-29
A GOOD APPOINTMENT

Governor Budd is to be commended
and the people of San Francisco are to be
congratulated upon the appointment OF
Mr.. J. w. Biggy to be city registrar
if we may Judge from, the comments OF
both the Democratic and Republican
newspapers upon the selection. Mr.
Blggy succeeds Mr.. J. w. Hinton, who
achieved an enviable record in the Office.
1t Is pointed out that the proper admin
istration of the office calls for honesty
good judgment and high degree of ex-
ecutive ability, and 1t Is oheerfully con-
ceded by both Republicans and Demo
Gratis that Mr.. Biggy possesses these i'm
portant qualifications to an admirable
degree.
One thing that makes the Office very
important one at this time is the fact
that the Stratton primary law has been
declared unconstitutional. This leaves
great powers in the hands Of the regis
trar. The Examiner illustrates this by
saying: Among the powers of the reg
istrar is that Of saying whether Rainey
is the Democratic party or not. The ap-
pointment of Registrar Biggy is death
blow to Raineyism in the Democratic
party. Doubtless the governor selected
so pronounced a foe of Rainey and Rain
eyism to make plain his opinion on the
matter"
Thus 1t is shown once more that the
Democratic party is the party of re-
form.
