ANOTHER NEW ENTERPRISE
Secret Process for PreserY-
ing Eggs

The Wilbur Sentinel recently con-
tained the following account of the
opening up of some eggs that were
packed last spring:
Peter Christensen and H. NJ. Hansen
opened up their packing of April eggs,
Monday, and applied every test posi-
BILE. as did their friends, and found
them to be as fresh and wholesome as
the day they were layed. These gen
tlemen have 10000 dozen packed away,
which are being kept fresh by the
secret process which they, alone, are
the proprieters of. These eggs will be
sold when the winter market reaches a
figure to suit the packers, and they will
no doubt realize handsomely for their
labors. as the most of their stock in
trade has been purchased on a spring
and summer market. In speaking of
their undertaking, Mr.. Christensen
said: Twenty thousand dozen eggs is
not near enough to suit US. We would
like to have several times that many
packed away. Next season we expect
to enlarge the capacity Of our plant to
100000 dozen. We have bought all the
eggs coming to Wilbur this season that
we could secure, besides handling the
surplus from the Goyan, Almira and
Hartliue markets. When we opened
our first packing of April eggs Monday
we cooked samples of them in several
different ways and ate some raw, and,
though they have passed through a
long, hot summer and been packed
away for eight months, they were, in
every case, as fresh as the day they
were delivered to US. Samples were
also given out to many of our friends,
who found no fault whatever with
them"

States, elevated their companion to the
presidency. After Roosevelt's election
the cowboys demanded the best offices;
including two members of the Cabinet,
but Roosevelt ignored their demands;
so they have decided to avenge them
selves and defeat him for reelection.
The cowboys WELD a tremendous
power in the United States west of
New York city and they have offered
the presidency to Hanna. Hanna has
never been a cowboy, but, being ambi-
tious, he has accepted the nomination,
and, it is thought, will be elected. We
learn that Hanna will make his cam
paign on wild mustang. He is an old
man, but daring and skillful rider. In
his youth he carried off high honors as
an equestrian and he is decorated with
numerous medals.

Testing Engines by Piano

Pointing to piano that was standing
in the locomotive round house OF the
Missouri Pacific railroad near Kansas
City, an English visitor remarked:
"Ah, l see your road supplies you
with musical entertainment"
Guess not" replied lie foreman.
THAT piano is for testing the en-
gines.
The Englishman.though it joke, but
when a uniformed pianist struck key
note which harmonized with the noise
of vibration in each part of the locomo-
tive, as it was tested, he understood
that there could be no flaws or cracks
in the engine. He was informed that
if the noise of the locomotive made 4
discord with the musical note the loco
motive would thus be proved defective
The method has been discovered to be
more accurate than the old way of ham
mering each part.

The following lines were written by
Clyde King. Mr.. King will be remem-
bered by many, having visited his par
ents, J. j. King and wife of this city,
several years. Mr.. King is advertis-
ing agent for the Moline Plow Co., OF
Illinois.
Farmer Jones was a behind-time man,
A trailer from morn till night.
His pasture fences were always down
His barn never snug and tight.
He worked as hard as neighbor Smith,
Who got spick, and span and rich,
But it didn't seem to count for much
And this was the why Of which:
Between us, Smith was Il wise old fox,
And used both head and hand.
He took advantage of modern ways
And got the most from his land.
No out-of-date tools were on his place;
No horse killing outfits there.
The best 10 be had was none to good.
AS long as the price was fair.
The Gladiator cut the stalks up fine
Did it with hardly a jar.
1t has the proper motion TO cut.
And is the lightest by far.
He plowed with the Best Ever Gang,
Or rather, his boy did that.
While he rode the Economy disk
And crushed the clods out flat.
His corn was planted with Three-in-one
(Hill drop, drill drop or drilD;
Kernels came out in numbers he chose,
Checked for blowing at will.
For cultivation he used the Twins,
Thus saving horse and man,
And what Smith did with these ma
chimes
Is a cinch that any man can.
And so he went clear through the big
line,
From cutter to sub-soil plow;
Buying whatever his work required
His motto was "do it now"
This is the way that Smith beat Jones,
Without calloused hand:
And here is a tip for you my friend:
Use tools OF the Dutchman brand" "

TWO MILLIONS IN BANKS
for Each Man, woman
and Child

Colfax proves her claim to being tbs
richest agricultural town in the westg
If not in the United States. The state
ments just issued by the two national
banks show total deposits of 81, tlS.-
67905. OF this sum the First National
bank has $77s, sO4. 52; the Colfax Ma,
tional successor to the Second National;
has S1,34l, ,474.53.
The population of Colfax was 2z20
when the assessment vas made last
spring, and census was taken by the
field deputy assessor 1t is now esti-
mated at 2500. This gives bank depos-
its of S845.47 for each man, woman and
child in Colfax. it is claimed here that
no other town in the United States, sit;
uated in an exclusively agricultural disi
trict, makes such a showing. 1t has
long been claimed that Colfax Is the
richest town per capita in the state.
This statement seems to be borne out
by the bank deposits now held here. A
considerable portion of the 1904 wheat
crop. estimated at from Is to 30 per
cent, is still held by the farmers; and
if this were sold practically all Jf it in
this section would go to swell the bank
deposits.

Last year over one billion dollars
was paid out for advertising in the
United States, and yet some gourd-
headed storekeeper will say lit don't
pay" or, II can't afford it,
Who does the largest business In
every town and city in the United
States? The largest advertiser. There
is not an exception to this rule.
Does anyone suppose for moment
that a man who has stnse enough TO
Guild up large and successful business
would spend his money in order to have
the name of being the largest adver-
tiser? Oh, no. Money is too hard to
get to squauder in that vain way. But
he does the largest business in town,
BECAUSE he is the largest advertiser.
Somebody has gathered some careful
statistics to show that one billion dol
lars was spent in advertising in the
United States last year.
Insurance figures came to less than
this. Corn figures were s952. 600, 000s
wheat. sI43, 200, 900; cotton, $500, ,00d, 600,
coal s2lo, ,OOO,O 900; hay, 1856, 600, 600; pig
iron, SOL 900, 600.
In New York City and Brooklyn the
very largest department stores ex-
pended 81, 900, 900 among themselves in
advertising, ranging from John Wana'
maker with $50O,OOO, Siegel, Cooper
company 100000, and r. FL. Macy
$500, 900 to The Arnold-Constable conn
pany $35, 900.
And the larger and more extrava-
giant grow the figures the more simple
grows the answer to the old time ques-
ton, ''does advertising pay?"-Retaiiet'

JUDGE INDIANS BY TEETH
Soft Foods of Columbia River Tribes
Wear Off Their Grinders.

"a close observer can distinguish
hetween the Columbia river Indians
and those that have been bred for
generations in the mountains" said
Major Charles wilkins, to the East
oregonian tnday, "by looking at the
teeth"
In the case of the rivef Indians the
diet for hundpeds of years has been
principally fisb--a soft food that has
not hardened the teeth. As re-
suit, the teeth of the river Indians
are worn off close to the gums. This
is an mnfailing Sign ITO follow.
I'm case of the mountain Indians
they have eaten deer, bear. dogs,
roots and more solid foods and invar-
iably have elegant. long. smooth.
white teeth. The solid foods upon
which these upland tribes have sub
sisted have also given them a more
vigorous, aggressive character, and
there is as much difference In the
two classes of Indians as in the loung-
ing, lazy Southern negro and the mas
terful white workingman OF the
Northwest"
