New Creamery at Sunnyside.

A subscriber at SunnYSlde SENDS us
the following: "The Sunnyside dairy
men are organizing a creamery asSo-
citation. Up to the present the cream
has been made into butter by E. B.
Person in home plant. 1t is now
proposed to erect an up-tO-date cream

Reed. of Ellensburg, the president OF
the State Dairymen's association. has
been called in to advise and direct.
Mr.. Reed is so certain of the favor
able conditions existing that he has
agreed to take One-third of the stock
and manage the concern under the
advisement of the dairymen stock
holders. This will combine the strong
features of cooperation of dairymen
and successful creamerymen. 1t is
we'll known that producing the butter

Butter That VIII Keep.

In a recent bulletin of the Iowa sta
ton. one way of making butter which
will keep longer than ordinary butter
is described and tests of the method
are reported. 1t is a very important
advantage to have butter keep well,
and to improve in the keeping quail
ties of butter increases just so much
its real value. Butter which spOlls
quickly is not suitable for export, and
in fact, sometimes it can hardly be-
sold or even be placed in cold storage
before disagreeable flavor is developed
1t has been quite clearly established
that microscopic organisms are theI
causes, or at least one of the causes,
of rancid butter. The particular
forms of organism responsible for this
deterioration gain access to the milk,
or cream or the butter. The prob
lem is to exclude them or to destroy
them when they are present. Butter
makers understand pretty well that
DasteurizatiOn is often Of very great
value in making butter. But why
DasteuriZe the milk or cream and then
wash the butter with dirty germ
laden water? The Iowa station took
some ripened cream. divided it into
two equal lots, churned one of the lots
and washed the butter with ordinary
well water churned the other lot UNI

 We nave reached the second mile- stone in the history of the Imperial schools. Notwithstanding the many disadvantages under which we have labored, our pupils have done good work, m many cases excellent. All ex- ccpting two or three have completed their grades with credit to themselves and to the schools to which they belong These faithful boys and girls, who have worked so diligently and endured SO many hardships, deserve not only the commendation of their teachers, but also of the entire community. As a rule, it Is from this class of pupils that our reliable. conscientious, and re- spccted men and women come. These are the ones upon whom the state and community can depend Without them there would be but little progress in any direction.
 Of the number enrolled in the gram mar school, fifteen have removed from the district, five have been obliged to quit school on account of i'll health, four have been needed at home, six grew weary of well doing and dropped out.
 In behalf of our trustees we would say that they have done all within their power to make us comfortable, and they have furnished us with all the nec- essary apparatus and supplies at their command.
 From the proceeds of entertainments, socials and donations we have added nnety-fve volumes to our library. AL though the books came rather late to be of much help to us this year, yet we have them to begin work with next year. For the lack of these books We were greatly hampered in our work this year.
 We wish to thank the many patrons and friends of the schools for coming so nobly to the front and aiding us SO materially in raising funds for this

APE STILL
SCHFMING

Railroad freight agents of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific roads
from other cities have silently folded
their tents and stolen away. All their
hard work to bring about concessions
from Spokane shippers availed nothing.
1t is said the magnates Of the merger
roads had promised tempting rewards
for the man who would break the COM
bine of the shippers of Spokane and for
this reason Mr.. Fulton and Others
made special efforts and persontl APP
peals to Spokane shippers.
Their only achievement was the
promise of the shippers to declare 30
day truce, provided the freight agents
of the three systems would come to
Spokane with power to adjust rates and
to do it in Spokane. The roads have
not accepted these conditions and the
freight men have gone and the freight
continues to come to Spokane over the
0. r. & N. line and its Hartman
connections.
Help the Jobbsrs.
Among the wise ones of the Spokane
shippers it is said the settlement which
will eventually be granted by the roads
will be concessions to the jobbers
which will leave out the retail dealers.
1t is said the roads already are working
on a plan of this kind, but that they
are finding it slow work to bring about
such arrangements. The idea is to
grant to the jobbers such concessions
as will enable them to do the whole
sale business they wish to do.
In order to bring about such an ar
rangement it is necessary to have the
cooperation of the Hartman system
as well as of the Hill lines. Mr.. Harri-
man is well pleased with the handsome
business he is getting from Spokane
and is not anxious to accommodate Mr..
Hill with an early conference which
will result in his losing this business.
Yet this is expected to be the ultimate
solution of the problem.
Retail dealers will receive no benefit
from such concession. While they
will not be especially pleased with such
a solution, they will not be greatly
disappointed, for when they went into
the BOYCOTT with the wholesale dealers
they anticipated this outcome and said
So at the time.

Passengers on the Great Northern
who were held snowbound in North
Dakota are up in arms at the treat
ment of the railway officials. They
say they were detained by the snow
at York, N. D., SO hours and that for
81 hours the company gave them
nothing to eat. Finally, four hours
before they left York, they were taken
to hotel and given q meal.
They are very bitter against the
company. They claim the engines
furnished were broken-down affairs
that could barely haul the trains and
were unable to properly heat the cars.
Several other westbound trains pass
ed the one which left st. Paul on
Thursday morning. This did not help
the tempers of the already indignant

CHICAGO.

The grocers' association last night
started a campaign to enlist 90 per
cent of the grocers in the city in the
Retail Grocers' association. The OBJ
ject of the association Is to maintain
a set scale Of prices and to govern
the profits on certain commodities.
For instance, 1t will be the plan of
the organization to make profit of
2s cents a dozen on eggs when they
are retailing at less than 20 cents a
dozen and cents a dozen when they
are higher.
A committee was appointed last
night, consisting of e. N. Corey, s. A.

up the work of increasing the mem
bership of the association.
The expenses Of the organization
will be met by tax on sugar.
