MR. tiAdE's EXPERIENCE
Some of the Difficulties Encountered
 ln the Creamery Business

Interested in what tlIe PRESS has been saying oi the creamery business, Mir. W. E. Haze writes us from the fulness of his experience as follows. He is, as has been heretofore stated in these columns,propretor of the creamery here, also of the New England Dairy and Creamery, San Diego, and principal owner of large creamery at San Fran cisco:
 To the Imperial PRESS:
 read with great interest your articles on the dairy interests in the valley and the business in general. Possibly it would be of interest to know how 1 an getting along with this end, the sale part of it.
 have had hard fight ever since got started as tho butter tx 80 much different from that made around Los Angeles that the people did not know what to make of it, the color was the main kick, and of course that was d thing that could not be overcome. l
 
 right by it if it is disconragng SO far. Also il 1t is going to be big success it must be held at one big central plant, as 1t is different than dairying at place right near market and if do say 1t have put in half my time the last six months to keep that butter moving. have at last got the Los Angeles Herald and the Examiner to quote it in their daily quotations.
 With the Railroads you now have, cream can be sent to the Creamery at Imperial from all parts of the Valley at very low rate, and the freight is nothing to what it will cost the producer to keep two or three plants in operation. have proven that here We bring cream from all over the county on this side and do all the churnng in one place, where it used To be done in dozen places.
 Some of our cream comes as high as forty miles on stage before 1t gets to the railroad at Fosters station and then has thirty miles on the cars.
 am very much pleased with the way it has developed out there as it took lots of nerrs to start A creamery where there were no COWS, and it took us a week on the start to get cream enough to make thirty pounds of butter.
 Also We have had to buck the lowest butter market ever known in Southern California. Yours Truly,
 w. E. HAGE.

LOVE DIES.

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox says there
comes time in the course of married love
when rthe thrill goes out of the hand
clasp and the kiss at times, and it is then
that husband and wife may be susceptible
to other magnetic personalities" The rea-
son for this condition of affairs is often the
fault of the husband, but how often is it
not due to the wife's nervousness and irri-
liability due to some trouble with the or
gans peculiarly feminine-the wife under
such circumstances feels languid aud spir-
itless-she suffers perhaps from headache
and sleeplessness.

ELKS ARE PLANNING
FOR THEIR GUESTS.

Thirteen Lodges VIII Send Large
Representation to Savannah.
Savannah Lodge of Elks is rapidly
completing it's plan for the convention
of the order in this state. which is to
be held in Savannah, June 21-22.
Thirteen lodges will be represented
on that occasion, and it is believed that
city because of the convention will be
between 500 and 1000. This will in
clude delegates, their wives and fami-
lies.
The large attendance is anticipated
because of the well known hospitality
of the Elks, and their ability as en-
tertainers will attract many persons
who would not come merely to attend
a convention, though this of itself will
be of much importance, as by 1t will
be elected the officers OF the state for
the coming term.
The programme of the convention is
by no means complete, though near
enough to give an idea of what the
plans will be. The sessions of the con-
vention will be held in the banquet
hall of the De Soto, and that hosiery
will be the headquarters of the dele
gates. The first session will begin at
IL o'clock a. M, June 81. 1t will be
opened by an address of welcome on
the part of the city by some speaker
yet to be selected.
This session will adjourn in time to
allow the visitors to take a trip down
the harbor on boat that will be
chartered for the occasion. Music will
be furnished and refreshments served
That night a social session will be
given to the members of the order
in the quarters of Savannah Lodge
The lady visitors will be taken care
of by a committee of ladies who are
now preparing their part of the pro-
gramme of entertainment.
After the session of the second day
the visitors will be taken for a ride
around the city on chartered cars, then
to Thunderbolt, where they will at
tend matinee performance at the
Casino, and still later they will be
served at banquet at the Casino, the
evening to be closed with dancing.
Many other features in the programme
are under consideration, but have not
yet been decided on.
The committee in charge of the en-
tertainment feature of the convention
consists of Messrs. Charles Marks,
chairman w. w. Starr, w. ]. Kehoe,
w. c. McDonough, w. J. Watson w.
w. Starr A. D. Kelly, Samuel Rey-
nolds and ]. c. Shaw.

And Some Things About the News
papers of To-day.
Editor Savannah Morning News: 1
have just read the notice from Bos-
ton newspaper of the two-hundredth
| anniversary of the News Letter, print
ed by John Campbell at Boston, April
II, 1904, to April "a, 1904, in which It
is stated, that this was the first news
paper published in America. This, as
has since been mentioned, is an error.
The first newspaper was published in
1890
The word Gazette, which has
been supposed to be derived from
gazetta, "a little treasury of news" I
am informed by earlier writers, meant
coin, which paid for the privilege
of reading military and commercial
information, and dates back to the
war which tlies Republic of Venice
waged against Solyman II. in Dalma-
tia.
The News Letters of Boston had few
advertisements. 1 copy the only
one, which appeared in this paper in
the issue May % to May 29, ITO. "Ad-
vertisement." Two negro women, one
age about %, the other about 80 yrs,
to be sold by Mr.. VIM. Clark, Junior,
! Merchant, to be seen at. his house,
Common street. Boston"
Think of it! The only news
paper published in New England,
1874 years ago, contained but one
advertisement, and that one offer
ing two human beings for sale. This
was nearly a quarter of a century be-
fore Georgia was settled, and when
Georgia was settled she prohibited the
importation of negroes.
If l am not mistaken, the Morning
News has a copy of the Newport Mer-
curry, established by Benjamin Frank
lin, in 1853.
The Pennsylvania Packet and Cen
eral Advertiser, which was published
three times a week by John Dunlap,
in Market Square, Philadelphia, fol-
lowed, and l find many advertisements
from the South. I copy but one. On
Jan. IS, 1873, was published a resolu
ton of Congress, requiring each state
to pay its quota of the assessment of
SIS, O00 900. Except Georgia. which be
ing invaded by the enemy, is here after
to raise her proportion" 1. Virginia
was assessed $2,4O0,0O0; 2, Massachu-
sets Bay was assessed 81, 000, 900; 3,
Pennsylvania was assessed $1,000, 900;
4, South Carolina was assessed, $780,
900.
There are many advertisements for

streets Before Crowd.
Tacking like a yacht in a gale, with
a full spread of canvass, an unfortu-
nate white woman attracted consider
able attention near Bull and Brough-
ton streets early yesterday afternoon.
1t was just at the dinner hour and a
large crowd watched the distressed
craft. She rounded Adler's corner and
steered due south on Bull. There was
no installing the signals she was fly
ing, but not a mothers son would
throw out a life line.
But the overloaded craft kept her
head to the wind and fought bravely
against the eddy into which she had
drifted. More than once she ran her
nose into the marsh, which CHANGED
to be the offices of the Merchants and
Miners Transportation Company, but
by sharp lacking managed to keep
right side up, although 1t was evident
that a great deal of handling with
care had to be done.
At State street the squan broke
afresh, and the frail craft capsized
Completely enveloped in her sails she
was helpless. She floundered while the
Unlocking shippers kept close to shore
1t was only a case of another wreck
in the path of those on life's voyage.
But lifeboat-a strapping man in
uniform-put out for the wreck and
pulled it ashore. There was tele-
phone message, a few minutes later
the sound of gong and the crowd
scattered.
