JAMES COOK ACQUITTED.
Not Guilty of the Murder of Bob
Croft, in CoIquitt County.


Moultrie, Ca, April 15.-Superior
Court adjourned this morning. The
last case tried was that of James Cook,
charged with the killing of Bob Croft.
A day and night was consumed and
the jury after being out ten minutes
returned a verdict of not guilty. The
killing was the outcome of a family
fued and occurred about a year ago
near Hampstead in the lower part of
the county. One Sunday afternoon,
Cook was driving by the home of
Croft who called him and went out
to his buggy. Some past trouble was
brought up and fight with knives
resulted. Croft was killed outright
and Cook was very painfully wounded.
Both belonged to prominent families
and the affair caused a great deal of
feeling in the community. Most of the
evidence went to show that Croft was
a bad character and provoked the
row.
Tom Johnson. colored, who was tried
for the killing of Tom Moore, at Cor
belts mill last November, was found
guilty of murder but recommended to
mercy and was given life imprison-
ment.
Fire was discovered last night in
the store of j. S. Ross on West Broad
street. The damage was comparatively
small, the entire loss not exceeding
$1,000 all of which was fully covered
by insurance.

gal means to prevent the use of pre-
servatives in milk, but am still unde-
cided what stand should be taken in
regard to the use of preservatives in
other food products.
1t is probable that l will furnish a
new set of rules and regulations jan
uary 1, 1904 which will make it nee
essary for the name and amount of
the preservative to be printed on the
label of every food product sold in the
State of Washington. l shall hold that
every article having in it preserva-
tive is a compound and therefore the
ingredients must be printed on the
package.
The benefit derived from the en-
forcement of the dairy and pure food
laws are not fully appreciated by the
general public. Before the enactment
of these laws this state was sowing
seed which if allowed to grow I'M
checked would have produced a har-
vest of INSCRIPTIONS dealers in adul-
terated foods; each year would have
made the work more difficult of puri-
flying the foods. The dairy industry
would have been destroyed by the

enactment of the Pure Food Law.
Since the enactment of that law my
time has been devoted to regulating
the sale of all kinds of food products.
During the last year my efforts have
been especially directed to finding out
the extent to which personalities are
being used and the necessity for their
use. l have found that the following
personalities are most commonly
used, namely: Formaldehyde in milk,
borax, sulphites and formaldehyde in
canned meats, benzoate of soda in cat
sup, salicylic acid in mince meat, sac
charine in sweet pickles, glucose in
honey, syrup and preserves. There
has never been a question in regard
to the injurious effects of preserva-
tives in milk for the reason that it is
the exclusive diet for children. 1t is
an unsettled question to what extent
preservatives should be permitted in
other food products where the food is
used in small quantities. An intelli-
gent stand cannot be taken on this
question until their effects on the hui
man organism is better known. The
best preservative known is heat, and

butter, the thousands of prosperous
dairymen would have been supplanted
| by few wholesale and retail dealers.
All the milk sold in the state would
have been embalmed, the undertaken
would have reaped the reward Full
cream cheese would have been as
meaningless as having two telephone
systems in the City of Seattle. The
pure food law has called halt" to all
those who grow fat by deception and
fraud The pure food law has driven
from business the cheap John gro

by misleading advertising and coun-
terfeiting, or it has transformed him
into a straightforward, honorable
business man. The days for getting
rich by playing upon the ignorance
OF the purchaser is passed. 1t is true
that the state pure food laws are not
as effective as they would be if they
were supplanted by national pure
food law. The solution of the pure
food problem would be greatly has
tened il there was a federal statute
and court of appeal consisting of a
body Of experts who would create a
standard for every food product
This board should be non-political con-
sisting of one expert chemist, one bac
teriologist and one physician who
would be empowered to select a manu-
facturer and one business man &C
cording to the line of foods for which
they were creating a standard This
board should prepare a dictionary of
foods which might be designated as a
'fOodcopeia" This foodcopeia should
define every food product and should
be recognized in every court of jus
tice as standard authority All the
states should have their laws changed
to conform with the federal statutes.
This would simplify the work of the
commissioner of each state, as all they
would be required to do would be to
secure samples, forward them to the
state chemist and if not found to con-
form with the definition as found in
the foodcopeia it would be deemed
adulterated.
The Americans are a progressive
people; having put their hands to the
pillow they will not turn back until ev-
cry article of food will be manufac-
tured and sold for what it is.

ment of child. AS it opens its eyes
it little dreams that the world it looks
out upon is a world of struggle, OF
progress, of achievement; it does not
realize the problems which will re-
quire solution at the different stages
of it's career. Watch it struggle to
rise to it's feet by clenching it's hand
around the legs of the chair, only to
fall and bump it's head against the
floor. 1t has begun the struggle which
will never cease while the heart beats,
and yet this struggle is building It's
sue,, expanding the mind and making
character. The same may be said OF
any industry, it struggles, it expands,
it requires character to lay the foun-
dation, to build the walls, to put on
the roof, so that the storms OF COM
mercial strife will not destroy it.
The dairy industry of this state had
it's struggles, but it has expanded. Its
foundation has been laid by progress
sive men, it's side walls are being built
by the same sterling qualities which
laid the foundation, by men of char
ment. We have not many years to look
back when dairying was in its infan'
cy in this state when the dairy maid
wrested with the problems of but
termaking; when the perspiration
would ooze out through the pores of
her forehead as she opened the old
dash churn after working for thirty
minutes to find that the work had been
in vain Since that time science has
lifted the veil, has analysed it, studied
it's properties so that it can be told
to almost minute how long it will
take to churn the cream. Science has
broken the old dash churn, wiped the
perspiration from the brow of the
dairy maid; a new era in buttermak
ing has been evolved, the milk pan
and the dairy maid are relics of the
infancy of buttermaking. We might
follow the struggle of buttermaking
from the former conditions to the
gathered cream system where cream
was paid for by the inch. The noon
day of buttermaking was not reached
until the separator and Babcock tester
were invented.
The first creamery in the State of
Washington was built and operated in
Clarke County by Lindsey Bros, in
1886; other small creameries were
opened later and it was not until 1890
that general development of the in
dustry was begun. During that year
a butter and cheese factory was
started at Cheney; general interest
in the development of the dairy indus
try was stimulated by a few progress
sive dairymen who organized a dairy
mems association, which has been in
strumental in spreading the dairy Cos
pei in every valley of the state. These
efforts had the effect of encouraging
farmers in the different dairy sec
lions of the state to establish cream
cries in their respective localities who
formerly were exchanging their but
ter for any merchandise which the
storekeeper might give them. !
The Dairymens Association has held
a convention annually since that time,
and has also been power in the halls
of legislation in securing laws which
protects their industry. This organi-
