DENHALTER BOTTLING CO..

Away back in 1869 when Salt Lake
was but a struggling hamlet, Henry
Denhalter started the bottlng Of sum-
mer drinks. Beginning under the most
adverse conditions, it has progressed
until II is now universally conceded to
be the most thoroughly equipped plant
in the intermountain country. The
firm is now known as the Denhalter
Bottling company, and is composed Of
Henry Denhalter, Edward A. Swenson
and Charles H. Denhalter, all prom
inent citizens of this city.
Their Office is located at 31S South
state street. and in the rear is the bot
Ting works. large building 100x75, in
which all the latest improved machin-
cry is installed.
The bottling machine has a capacity
of one case a minute, or 14,400 bottles
a day, and in the hot summer months
is kept busy bottling root beer, ginger
ale. mineral waters, elders. soda water
and syrups.
These numerous drinks are of the
highest class and purity, absolute
cleanliness being maintained in their
preparation. and before being refilled
the bottles used are cleansed thorough

stailing a modern and up-to-date bottle

ADAM SNYDER.

Firmly believing in the future great
ness Of Salt Lake City, Adam Snyder
disposed OF his interests in Omaha and
came to this city six years ago. He
secured the agency of the Fred Krug
Brewing company, makers of the ia
nous Krug Omaha beer, and by his
strict attention TO business and cour-
teous treatment to his customers has
built up lucrative business and has
made the name Of "Krug" a household
word.
Mr.. Snyder supplies the majority OF
saloons with his beer not only in this
city. but throughout the entire state
He also makes a speciality of family
trade and his bottling works is kept
busy supplying the demand for his
three brands, Cabinet, Select and Extra
Select Beers, which are put UP in fancy
labeled quart and pint bottles.
In addition to his wholesale business,
Mr.. Snyder conducts the popular place
located at 276 South Main, which il
known far and wide as the old Resort
Here you will find Krug beer on tap
to quench the thirst OF lovers of that
beverage, and his stock Of wines
liquors and cigars is not excelled il
this city.
Mr.. Snyder has used every effort te
maintain for his place OF business q
reputation for refinement, catering to
orderly, respectable gentlemen only,
and has in this respect met with graf
flying success.
A visit to the Old Resort will con.
vince you that Mr.. Snyder did a wise
thing when he secured the agency for
Krug beer, for his place is crowded
from early morning until late at night,
which is proof ample Of the growing
popularity of Krug's Omaha beer.

I'm the recommendation that an act
be passed at this session to compel
these companies, owning valuable
privileges and operating at a farge
profit, to pay fair proportion of the
expenses of government. A tax upon
the gross earnings, as in the case of
insurance companies, would, as sug-
gested by the secretary of state, in all
probability be the simplest and best
method of taxation.
Public Schools.
The public schools are in most ex-
cellent condition, and their standard
should be maintained at all hazards.
To them the great majority of our
people must look for the education
of their children, and statistics show
that far the largest number of the
school population of the state attend
these schools. Taxes for their sup
port are ungrudgingly paid by our
citizens of all classes and creeds, and
every effort should be made to main
tain them throughout the whole
school year. In many of the rural
districts. especially in those which
are thinly settled, schools cannot be
maintained for more than three
months in the year. and greater eff
forts should be made to lengthen
these terms.

ture 1 recommended the abolishment
of at least two of the normal school:
of the state. Instead of needing
this recommendation a bill was pass
ed but vetoed by me creating an ad.
ditional one. If those already estab-
lished are to remain as fixed and per-
manent institutions, it is the duty Of
the state to improve the service which
these schools now render to the peo-
pie by confining appropriations fol

Recommendations BY THE GOlE3NOR.

Governor Chamberlan's message to
the legislature is one of the most
voluminous documents ever prepared
by an oregon governor, and consists
OF about 10000 words.
Every subject of interest to the
state is discussed in full. Following
are some of the chief subjects which
receive attention from the executive:
Taxation of Corporations.
Taxation for state purposes ought
to be divorced as far as possible from
that for county and municipal pur-
poses. To that end, in many states,
methods have been successfully re-
sorted to for relieving real as well as
personal property from taxation to
meet the expenses of the administra-
tion of the affairs of the state.
At the last regular session of the
legislature. progress was made in the
bright direction by the passage of the
Inheritance tax law and the corpora
ton license law. There may be in
equalitfes in these that will need ad-
justment, but the general purposes of
DONl ihOSl CANNllChls
During the 16 months the Inherit
ance tax law has been in force, $6,-
626.93 has been pad into the state
treasury Hereunder, while under the
latter law $191,615.87 has been col
lected. These amounts are likely to
increase each year as the state grows
I'm population.
In addition to the amounts thus
realized, insurance companies during
the year 1903 paid $7,363.21 license
fees and '$3S, ,036.19 taxes on net pre-
miCms collected, and for 1904 ST.
310.51 license fees. The tax for the
latter year will not be due until
March 1st next.
OF the license fees collected 40 per
cent is paid to the secretary of state
as fees under section 1924 Bellinger
and Cotton's code, while only so per
cent thereof is paid into the treasury.
THE TAXES REALIZED FROM
THESE THREE SOURCES SHOW
WHAT is POSSIBLE TO BE DONE
FOR PURPOSES OF STATE OTHER
THAN BY LEVYING A TAX UPON
THE ASSESSED VALUATION OF
THE PROPERTY OF THE STATE.
BUT A STEP FURTHER SHOULD
BE TAKEN TO REACH A CLASS OF
PROPERTY THAT PRACTICALLY
ESCAPES TAXATION. 1 REFER
no THE TAXATION OF THE FRAN
| CHISES OF EXPRESS, TELE-
PHONE, TELEGRAPH. PULLMAN
CAR, AND OTHER SIMILAR PUB
Lie SERVICE COMPANIES.
Different methods of taxation for
these corporations have been resort
ed to in the several states, but from
an examination of number of stat
'utes, it is impossible to deduce any
general principle for adoption.
The secretary of state. who has
given the subject much thought, sug-
gests in his biennial report that a tax
upon the gross earnings of these cor
porations might be the simplest form
of taxation. I heartily join with him
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-01-13

purpose by eliminating all prepara-
tory work. and concentrating the la
bors of their faculties upon a purely
professional course of study. There
is no economy in taking the time of
state normal school faculty for
teaching pupils in grades that are al
ready provided for in the common
schools.
An important educational reform
could be accomplished by the adop-
tion of a uniform course of study for
so that persons fitting themselves for
teaching could receive the same cred
it and recognition for work done in
any one of them and have better
standing at home or abroad.
BY placing all the normal schools
under a single board of regents with
uniform course of study for all, and
basing appropriations upon a num-
ber of qualified students satisfactorily
completing a full years work in the
prescribed course, the state would OBJ
viate the manifest injustice and in
equalities I'm the present system.
Portage Railway and Canal.
An act was passed at the last ses-
sion appointing a board of portage
commissioners, consisting of the gov
ernor, secretary of state and state
treasurer, and appropriating s165,00O.
or so much thereof as might be neces-
sary for acquiring the rights of way
building and equipping portage rail-
way between the highest and lowest
points of the navigable waters of the
Columbia river between The Dalles
and Cello in Oregon. The act in
question expressly provided that INC
expenditure should be incurred there
under in excess Of the sum appropri-
ated."
Immediately upon the taking effect
of the act, the board employed A. E
Hammond as its engineer, with in.
structions to survey a route for g
portage road between the points
named, prepare plans, maps ant
specifications, and as expeditiously a.
possible to report to the board with
estimates as to cost of construction
keeping in view the above limitation
as to expense to be incurred.
Maps of definite location were pre-
sented by the engineer September 23
1903. In the meantime the board, il
conjunction with the attorney genera
kept up its negotiations for rights o.
way. and practically arranged term
with all the owners except I. H. Taft
and the o. r. & N. Co. Between
these and the board no agreemen
seemed possible along the line map
ped out by the engineer.
The matter of procuring thes'
rights of way was finally placed in tn,
hands of the attorney general, anC
actions to condemn commenced b,
him against both the o. r. & n. Co
and Taffe.
Estimates of cost of construction
exclusive of cost of rights of way
were filed by the engineer Novembel
S. 1903, showing conclusively that
large expense in excess of the appro
priation would have to be incurred il
order to carry out the terms of tn
act
When matters had progressed
