tiOns-A Remarkable Success.
Notwithstanding the supposed dun
times Caldwell goes right along b uild
ing up and improving. During the
past two months considerable improve
ments have been under way in cur
city and at this time the town presents
much better and healthier appear
ance than it did last spring. Numerous
residences have been painted and nee
essary Improvements made and several
new buildings have been erected. The
creamery building is among the latest
and was formally opened for business
Thursday morning. The management
sent out invitations in the fore part of
the week which contained the an
nouncement that various prizes would
be distributed among the patrons of
the enterprise. Following were the
prizes offered: To the patron who de-
livers largest amount of milk SO. To
the LIST patron who delivers 100 pounds
or more So. To the End patron who
delivers 100 pounds or more 81. To
the Bird patron who delivers 80 pounds
or more ST.. To the 4th patron who
delivers 60 pounds or more 81. To the
9th patron who delivers so pounds or
more 81. To the 9th patron who de-
livers % pounds or more so cents. To
the 9Th patron who delivers 10 pounds
or more is 80 cents.
At an early hour Thursday morning
a considerable crowd had assembled to
watch operations and by 8 o'clock
enough milk had been brought in to
permit of start. Steam was got up
and the machinery put in motion and
in the neighborhood of 1900 pounds of
milk was handled. The machinery
worked splendid and the run was made
without slip of any kind whatever.
Farmers were in from all sections and
the majority seem we'll pleased towards
the enterprise and will do all in their
power to make it a success.
Late in the day a TRIBUNE man call
ed at the creamery and through the
courtesy of the employees was shown
around and the workings of the var.
ious machines explained. 1t is impos-
sible to give detailed description of
the various machines. Unfortunately,
our creamery education was neglected
in youth, and we realize our ability in
this direction is faulty. However, the
appliances are all of the latest improv-
ed pattern and if the use of good ma
chinery and competent operatives will
produce good article of butter, the
Caldwell creamery will soon have a
reputation for superior article that
will be hard to beat. The power is
furnished by an horse power engine
and a IL horse power boiler The
building has every accommodation
and the arrangement is perfect. A
driveway ascends into the building at
the east end and milk is unloaded from
the cars onto a weighing machine and
from there is run right into the sep
orator without further handling. After
the milk is once unloaded it Is not
touched by hands again until it is
ready to be packed for shipping. Every
thing is done by machinery, even to the
packing. 1t is, indeed, a great enter
prise and the TRIBUNE hopes the
| farmers here will see that it gets the
support it merits. Only 81 cents per
pound is charged afor making butter
and the patron has his choice of sell
ing his own butter or the creamery
people will do it for him, and get for
him the highest price obtainable The
business is under the direct supervision
of MIR. r. w. Sweet and this fact alone
insures a success of the enterprise and
the best of treatment to its patrons.
Friday evening in the neighborhood of
1000 pounds of milk had been received.

will be put out at tO-days churning.
