Somewhat startling discoveries OF
insanitary conditions in creameries are
said to have been made by inspectors
of the Minnesota state dairy and food
commission, says Creamery Journal.
In several cases creameries are located
where it is impossible to drain away
the waste products, which are accord
ingly deposited in cesspOols 1t has
been found that in many instances
these pools are sunk in sandy soil or
loose strata of rock and drain directly
into the wells from which the creamer-
les draw their water supply. The uten-
sis are washed in this foul water and
the butter worked and washed in 1t.
Samples of water have been sent to
the state chemist for analysis. Where
the water is found to be polluted these
creameries will be required to cement
their cesspools or go out of business.
Great care will be taken by the inspect
ors, who will send in samples when
ever there is any reason to suspect the
wells to- be contaminated. Il wish it
generally understood" said Dairy
Commissioner Mcconnell, that this
department will be glad to assist in the.
selection Of sites for new creameries.
We want to make sure that no cream
cries are built hereafter that do not
have good drainage facilities. 1t is not
only in the interest Of health but econ
omy, so to locate new plants"
"Deviled" Butter.
We observe that interested parties
are discussing new name for what is
called "renovated' butter AS is we'll
known, this butter consists Of strong or
rancid stuff which is melted and made
over in imitation of first class article.
Some tender hearted persons are now
trying to have the name changed to
refined" butter. Several years ago we
suggested "deviled' butter as the NEST
appropriate name for this stuff. We
are Of the same opinion still. Why are
people SO desperately afraid Of hurting
the tough feelings Of rogue or one Of
his imps?-Rural New Yorker.
An Aid TO Improvement.
Perfection in the creamery business
is not yet reached, says Dairy and
Creamery. For every tub Of butter
made which will score 81 there arc ten
tubs which will score IS or lower. The
production Of the 81 butter needs eX
ceptional skill and conditions and
marks a standard of excellence which
the average creamery cannot very we'll
approach, but where the dairyman and
no in, int
unison it should be possible to bring up
the product of the average creamery to
90 Or more.

Legend of the Looking Glass.

Who ever heard it stated that the
looking glass was first invented to spite
a pretty woman? And how would it
be possible to spite a woman by show
ing her perfect reflection of her own
dainty self? Well, according to Japa-
nese mythology, the deity presiding
over the sun and furnishing light to the
world became Infatuated at some trifie
and hid herself away in a cave, thus
depriving humanity of a very neces-
sary element. In order to induce her
to come out the mirror was invented
and placed in the cave. The beautiful
goddess, seeing another beautiful god
dess within those narrow confines, i'm
mediately departed, and the people
took care that never again should she
enter the precincts of d cave And SO
that most valued of Womans treasures
was invented for spite, but for what
a different purpose has it served!

Human Life ia Dollars

Everybody knows that in this state
$4,000 is the limit of value recovered
for life lost by railway accident. IL
is an old-time limit fixed to check
sentimental juries. 1t led to the joke
Of the old lady who asked a brake
man what the axes in glass boxes on
the train were for.
'"Those, ma'am," he replied, ARE to
knock in the head passengers who
chance to get only injuries"
For injury one may get unlimited
damages, and the spectacle Of two lost
hands, or something of that sort, has
run damages up to $4,000 and be-
yond A bill is here-and coming
from the judiciary committee, is taken
seriously-that raises the death limit
from $1,000 to $4,000.

Freight Rate Bill.

Petitions continue to come in
against the freight rate bill, showing
that either big shippers are very much
opposed, or else the railroad com
panies are taking the trouble to get
signatures. With this pressure from
influential constituents at home it is
hard to see how the bill can get

the state must have some such super
vision over these big quasi-public cor
porations, but even a good proposition
must be urged and requires time to Sc

look like very hard work but the fact
is many Of the members live long dist
ances from Madison and the journeying
is tiresome and expensive. Then, too,
men in the mass however virtuous as
individuals, are prone to do the easy
thing. 1t is difficult to control them.
Perhaps this is the reason the world
so admires men who can control their
fellows.

And. as we all know, Gov. La Fslletre
is not one to surrender | hope he will
consent to accept what the senate con-
cedes him primary elections for cities
and counties at once, and all the rest
of the offices if the people so vote in
the fall of 1904. This is a great adj
vance actually secured, and it is un-
likely that With all the governors
strength behind it, political and Per-
sonal with the voters, that the refer
endum of the fall of 1904 would be as
he wants it. \ good many of us who
believe in this reform and have worked
for it do not see how the governor can
let the opportunity go by.
The present is climax, worked up
with great care and by great expen
diture of time and labor To let it
go by now may put primary electors
on the shelf indefinitely. If the adj
ministration by delay and skirmish-
ing can get more than it already has,
it may be we'll, but even delay now is
dangerous. AS the end of the session
draws near there may be disposition
to kick over the whole kettle of fish
and go back to the people and each tell
his own story.

Veto Sustained.

1t will be remembered the senate
overruled the governors veto of a bill
increasing the pay Of the stenographer
of the Waukesha county court. 1t was
a bill that Senator Merton urged with
much force, it being claimed that the
county board has no authority in the
matter, and the senator informally adj
dressed the assembly, so convinced
was he that he is right 1t is not
often that individuals outside the
membership address the legislature in
part as in full this way It might
often be done to the clarifying o.
public issues. But in this case the
assembly decided the governor was
right-69 to %.

Conferees Partisan.

An incident of last week was the
action of the senate il insisting that
all the conferees shall represent the
majority sentiment Precedent was
cited to show that the senators made
their own committees, not the presid-
ing officer, which is certainly true of
the opening of the session, but there
was difference of opinion as to such
situations as at present-the fact is,
no one recalls such strained relations
for many years.
The speaker of the assembly moved,
he said, by the action of senate,
named three administration men
Frear, Andrew and Leroy-while the
senate is represented by Whitehead
Beach and Morse. On these six rests
the effort to compromise the differ
ences Of the two houses as to primary
elections Practically, however, the
assemblymen keep in touch with the
governor and he will decide what mod
ification, il any, Of the assembly bill
will be conceded. We hope for
happy outcome. It will bring the
state needed rest.

People Must Vote Money.

forts have been made to get the people
to vote money for soldiers monuments,

may influence some of the younger

it is a sorry fact that now that forty
years have gone our children think Of
the Civil war as some haZy theory like
the crossing of the Red Sea by the
Israelites. Failing to get money au-
thorized at the polls, bill passed the
legislature empowering county boards
to appropriate up to $4,000 for SOL
diers' memorials, and this bill the gov
ernor vetoed. Questions of sentiment
are not profitably debated. Veterans
themselves do not relish the veto in
all cases.

C. Williams at a point on the new
Santa Fee Central line. The machinery
was shipped via Albuquerque for the
reason that the Rio Grande cannot be
crossed at Belen.
The total area of the new Santa Fe
machine and boiler shops at Topeka
is las, lac square feet, the shop being
$50 fet long and 1872 feet wide. The
erecting shop comprises 80 per zen of
the floor space of the shop, the tool
and machine room A per cent and the
BOILER shop 26 per cent.
A mortgage was filed at Guthrie, Ok.

Blackwell, Enid & Southwestern Rail-
way company, covering the construc-
ton of that railway from Blackwell,
Oklahoma, to Vernon, Texas, 235
miles. The road was recently trans
fered to the Frisco. The holder of the
mortgage is the Standard Trust COM
pany of New York City.
The Topeka State Journal says: The
old engine which has furnished the
power for the Santa Fe machine shops
for the last twenty-five years is to be
taken down some time this week and
moved to the new power house, where
it is to be used as an air compressor.
This engine, which is a magnificent
piece of machinery, was built in the
Santa Fe shops in the year 1879. A

hard service, but is still practically as
good as new and will no doubt see a
good many more years of service.
Many a machinist has come and gone
since 1t was set up twenty-five years
ago. In fact there is harlly a man in
the whole shops who can say truth
fully that he was working in the shops
when the engine was first started.
The New Mexican says The Santa
Fe Central is digging the foundation
for a turntable and round house on
the lot on HickoX street purchased
from the Santa Fe Fruit company and
upon which the evaporator stands.
The company has also erected a high
beard fence along its grade adjoining
the Cerrillos road near where it cross
es the tracks of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railway.
The trouble between the Japanese
and Indian employees of the Santa Fe
at Needles, which has been noted on
several occasions, says the San Ber-
nardino Sun, has become so boisterous
as to necessitate the appointing of
deputies to guard the company's prop
erty and men. Upon the request of
Chief Gilroy, of the Santa Fe secret
service, Sheriff Ralphs has appointed
several guards, who have left for the
desert town to look after the Santa
Fe's interests.
The long lost structural steel for the
locomotive transfer table and big
steam hoist has arrived at last, com

He has already sent in his application

will greatly facilitate the work of the

SANTA FEE COLONIST RATES.
Cheap Rates to California Are Now il
Effect,

-NhSSN
The colonist rates with which the
Santa Fe has at last decided to meet
the special colonist rates made by 9TH
er transcontinental roads to Califor-
mia went into effect Monday, March 8.
The new rate is $25 from Missouri riv-
err points and other western territory.
and s33 from Chicago. to points on the
Santa Fe in California. This is a one
rate for colonist purposes, and will be
good until June Is.
The Southern Pacific. Union Pacific,
Rock Island and other lines with coast
connections announced the special $25
rate on February Is, to remain effect
i've until April 80. At that time the
Santa Fe declined to join in making
the rate a common one, on the ground
that its regular winter business during
February and March was all it could
conveniently handle, but it seems that
since then it has been found necessary
to make the rate.
Santa Fe officials here say that an
enormous business is expected while
the rates are in effect.
