Alfalfa Butter

The history Of dairying IN the United
States. il it coqld be written, would
show constant breaking down of false
standards, false hopes false notions Of
what ia the truth Only few years
ago, within easy memory, it was
thought there was dairy belt il this
country, where for all time pretty
mach all Of the food butter and cheese
would be made.
Among other false notions, was the
one That alfalfa would not make good
butter, On that point our Pacific
contemporary, the Western Creamery
says:
Until t9a1tt was commonly believed
that alfalfa would not make good bat
ter but when ten California tubs Of
butter to the National exhibit, at
e,wtanna. Minnesota. aud alfalfa Sc
cured the highest score Of the lot, it
dGwned upon our people that tAey
might be mistaken. When again al
Topeka, Kansas, the alfalfa butter Sc
cured the highest score Of the four tubs
sent from California, an impression
was made upon the trade, and with tbs
intrinsic merit of such goods to sustain
the reputation there gained, alfalfa bat

EDITOR Examiner =
For fear the readers Of your paper
and The people Of Bear Lake county DO
not thoroughly understand the true con
ditions Of affairsher in the Philippine
Islands, since the trouble began with
the Filipinos, as we'll. perhaps as the
people Of California. and especially the
newspapers of San Frauci co.
The tBt Califar ria regiment took
Manila on the 18th Of August, 1858
they were the only Americans On the
Luzjn Islands When the present
trouble began ON the evening Of the
4th of Feb. Lass, the 1st California did
the gallant fighting at Santa Mesa
where the first battle tool. place. The
only way the name Of the regiment
that fired the first gun, fought and
gained the victory at the above named
place, is spelled First Nebraska Regi-
ment. One OF the members of the
tst Californil regiment III an article in
Manila paper says: How some poo
pie will talk and how some apparently
wide-awake newspapers will publish
rot that one would expect from none
other than driveling IDIOT
The home papers arc beginning to
reach Manila with their various nc
count Of the present Filipino trouble
and a lot Of funny reading they make.
In their desire TO give Us all the praise
that is our due, q San Francisco paper
paints episode about ctr regiment re-
scuing company OF regulars pre-
sumably. This IS mischieYious in
vention which were we not such good
comrades with the 18th every since the
days Of old camp Dewey, might cause
some bitter friction. II there is any
apology to be made for San Francisco
papers, SO continually mentioned on
doing5 to the exclusion of the other
regiments, it Is that, as they depend Oh
Mccall circulation. they pint what i,
mast likely 10 interest our relations and
! friends He do not pretend TO hay;
, accomplished more or less than any
! other Regiment on the island. and tina
J is our auty. nor do we wish to reap tn
praise that is to be equally divided
among us all.

Important Question and Answer.

Assessor II. ". Keifer, for official
guidance in the matter. asked Attorney
General Hays this question:
IF final proof is made on land suhse-
quent to second Monday in January
will such land be subject to assessment
for the fiscal Year,
And to the question Attorney General
Hays gives this answer:
The fact that final proof was made
subsequent to January 9Th, 1899; makes
no difference as to assessment. Every
thing that is taxable on that day, OF
any other day, prior TO che closing Of
the LIST, must be assessed. "-Blackfoot

From, couperI River.

sam Groo wrote to Mrs Robt Gee d
few DAYS ago from Copper river
Among other things he said that hund
reds Of people on Copper river were
dying OF scurvey, but none of those
from here We're victims as far as Sam
knew He says, further. that nothing
rich in the way of gold has yet been
struck on that river. Several claims
have baen staked and he has one or two
that look fairly well.
Sam evidently grew poetical while
writing for he sends an original song
to Mrs Gee, which is sung to the tune
of con the Banks of the Wabash, aad
is as follows:
BANKS or THE COPPER FAR AWAY"
Ronnd my cold Alaska cabin lies the
gold fields,
In the distance looms the glaciersi
clear and cool,
Oftentimes my Thought revert to
scenes of childhood,
And | wish l were a boy again at
school
But many things are missing FROM
the picture,
Without them it appears most in
complete,
Ola long to put my feet beneath the
table
And say once more: I've had
enough to sat !
Chorus:
OH the air is clear and cool along
the Copper.
It's tho same in Jannarg, June or
May.
Everything is not just as the papers
tell you,

Just one year has passed since came
to Alaska,
And left my sweetheart, darling Marys
side
But to mo it seems as though it were

And Of hunger, several times, I've
nearly died.
I'll try to make my stay of short
duration,
For long to SEQ my sweetheart, Mary
dear,
also long TO see my mothers larders
Aud I'd relish once again glass Of
