is A BIG ONE
Makes Thousand Pounds of Butter at
a Time New Churn at the
CreamarU


The biggest churn in this section
of country will be in operation in a
few days at the Kaupisch creamery.
It's capacity at a single churning
is 1000 pounds of butter. 1t will
hold at one time 600 gallons of
cream. Its weight, empty is 5000
pounds. Filled with cream the
the weight would be nearly
5000, and revolving rapidly in the
air while the churning process is on
it will represent immense force.
The new churn has been added
to the plant because of the great in
crease in the business. With the
800 gallon churn on hand, two or
three churnings day are essential
making both unnecessary labor and
unnecessary expense. The daily
butter output of the establishment
is 1000 pounds. The price of
butter fat at the present time is
2oM.
The Kaupisch creamery now
gets cream from beyond Harrisburg
Within the past few days Herman
Kaupisch has established new
route in that vicinity, connecting
with the Ha1sey route, the latter of
which has been supplying milk to
the creamery for some time past.
It is expected that the new route
will yield $50 gallons of cream per
day.

Mont Baker is wanted by Benton
county officers. He is only boy
Some say his age is IS, some, that
it is II. A warrant charging him
with horse stealing was issued out
of Justice Ho1gate's court at noon
yesterday, and officers are now
searching fo1 him. When last
heard from, the boy is said to have
been in the vicinity of Junction. 1t
is not believed that he can escape
capture.
The warrant was sworn out by
7 D Wink1e. 1t charges Baker
with the theft of a bay gelding,
valued at $50. The horse was
taken from the farm of Wiley
Wink1e south of town during Sun

VOTED AGAINST IT
Two Counci1men Did-The Issuance
Of a Liquor License.

VI d AlEuOI AlSC1tSC'
There was division among the
counci1men Monday night about
granting a liquor license. Only
five were present, and on the first
ballot two voted for, and one against
the proposed license. Council
man Allen insisted that the mayor
should require all counci1men tc
vote. A rule of the council, de-
claring it to be the duty of every
councilmen to vote On all questions
in which he has no personal in
terest was read.
The mayor called upon all memb-
ers to vote and then the roll was
called. Councilman Allen whose
name heads the roll, led off against
the license with a may" When
Councilman Crees' name was reach

present were, Hodes, I sTIenkle and
Wilbanks, and each voted, "aye. "
The license was six months, and
was that of Wiley & Zeis. It was
granted.

Corvallis Boy to go There-He is but
Eleven Years of Age.
It is understood to be practically
settled that John Feirstein, son of
Mr. and Mrs Joe Feirstein of Cor
wallis, will be sent to the state re-
form school in the course of a few
days. A charge of petit larceny
has been lodged against him, and
he has admitted a portion of the
facts alleged. The matter was
brought before Justice Holgate's S
court Monday afternoon. J H Viii
son appeared as deputy district at
torney to represent the state. The
boy was taken into custody, but
after due consideration it was de-
termined to postpone action until
the arrival of County Judge Wat
ters, who is attending the sessions
of the grand lodge of A O U w in
Portland.
1t is believed by Justice Ho1gate
that justices are without authority
to commit boys to the reform school
an act of 1898 apparently vesting
such authority only III the circuit
or county judges.
County Judge Waters is ex-
pected home Friday. The boy is
only eleven years of age. His par
ents are interested in having him
sent to the reform school.

A Virtual Confession.

A Baker City telegram says: Tho
story told by j. r. Hanson, who wa
shot by an officer near Weiser, Idaho,
in hold-up last Tuesday night,
amounts practically to confession.
Hanson is lying sick of his wounds
at st Elizabeth hospital and since
he has recovered from an operation
Of having the 49, caliber ball re-
moved from his back has been talk
ing rather freely.
Hanson does not deny that he ra-
ceived his wounds in scrimmag
with the official posse, whom he was
trying to elude, but does deny that
he was in the hold-up proper
He made this remark; ''They can
not prove anything on me. because
it was too dark for them to recognise
me. 2

He is fast recovering and will no
doubt pretty soon be removed from
the hospital to quarters not quite 30

Hank Babbendorf, Phil Gudici, (the
m an who didn't 60 over the Bear val
ley traiD, and P. L. Finn arrived
from the camp Monday afternoon.
The gentlemen were five days from
the camp to Welser. They report
the trail open and men and horses
going in by the hundreds. Mr.. Bah
bendorf is one of the pioneers of the
district and was the locator of the
great copper properties at Copper
Camp Mr.. Babbendorf closed a
deal few days since for some of his
quartz properties on Big creek and
is now on his way east to procure the
cash for the claims on which he has
worked so long and faithfully. He
reports the finding of big copper
ledge on Big creek, below the mouth
of Monumental 1t is reported the
ledge is over 20 feet wide and the ore
of very high grade running 60 per
cent copper. Mr. Gudici is well
known miner of the district, and
acquired considerable notorlety last
winter when he attempted to go from
the camp over the famous? Bear val
ley trail to Boise and nearly lost his
life in the attempt He has secured
some of the most promising proper
ties in the camp and has come out
for the purpose of closing deal on
some of them. The gentlemen re-
port pack trains arriving in the camp
daily loaded with provisions and sup
plies of every description Prices
for provisions are quite moderate,
considering the distance it was nee
essary to pack and the hardships the
packers had TO endure in getting theil
outfits into the camp. Flour, which
was selling ten days ago at $40 pei
sack, is now $3.50; potatoes are 2t
cents per pound; beans the same

Geo. NJ Hancock and r. J..
Hughes of Battle Lake, Wyoming
are in the city. The gentlemen who
have been mining in the Battle Lake
district for several years, are going
into Thunder Mt. to try their for
tunes. They are associated with r
L. Hancock, who is now in the
camp, having gone in there about a
month since. They are expecting a
large party here in few days, and
will probably await their arrival be-
fore leaving for the gold fields. They
report great deal of interest taken
in Thunder Mt. in the section they
came from and several copies of the
Signal are taken there.

dispensatorics in the camp An en-
terprising baker has started bake
shop and Is acquiring money at rate
that will enable him soon to rank
with w. A. Clark and John d Rookie
Teller as money king. Bread is
20 cents per loaf, and not very large
loaves either. Dried apple and peach
pies, at so cents each, go like hot
cakes on a cold morning. Stores of
every description are springing up all
over the district and it is fast assum-
ing the look Of a populated country.
The days of hardship and suffering
in attempting to reach the camp are
over. 1t is now possible to go by
rail to Council, stage to Meadows
and horseback from there to the
camp without taking supplies with
you, have roof over your head
every night and a good bed to sleep
in, and as good meal as furnished
by any hotel or restaurant in the
land. In two weeks daily stages
will be in operation from Meadows to
Warren, carrying mail and passen-
gers.
M. w. Wilson is one of the --latest
arrivals in the city from Thunder
Mountain. Mr.. Wilson was in the
camp about thirty days. He report:
the trail over Elk summit has beer
shoveled out. 1t was opened June l
and hundreds of men, who had beer
camped on the South Fork at the
foot of the summit with their horses
poured through the narrow trail Gu

ployed in the mine all the spring, do
ing development work on the pro-
perty. Several men are now engaged
in sorting and sacking the ore, for
what purpose is not known One of
the men engaged in sorting stated
that the best of the ore would run
$40, 600 per ton, being picked rock.
Considerable excitment was occa-
sionee few days before Mr. Wilson
left, by reported strike on Indian
creek about ten miles from the Dewey
properties and a number of prospect
ors had gone over there to m axe To-
cations. Jake Shaffer, proprietor of
the road house at the crossing of the
South Fork, sold a claim on Big creek
a day or two before Mr.. Wilson left.
The consideration was not given out,
but it is understood to have been a
good round sum. Mr.. Wilson states
that there are now ten saloons In the
camp and more going in daily.
Stores are being opened up all over
the district. Mr.. Wilson has eight
locations in the district, and is on his
way to Pittsburg, Penn, where he
has deal on for his properties. Mr..
Wilson was in Alaska five years, and
had to undergo all the hardships in
cidental TO getting into that country
but he suffered more hardships get
ting into Thunder Mountain than any
he ever encountered on his trip to
the Klondike. Mr.. Wilson is enthus-
iastic over the future of the new El
dorado as gold camp and thinks il
will prove to be one of the creates
gold producers in the United States
