Washington Assistant Attorney Cen
eral E. c. Mcdonald, of Spokane, has
been designated to conduct the case.
The state of Oregon will also select
a commissioner"
In an interview at Olympia, Attor-
ney General Atkinson said that he ap-
pointed Colonel Dalton to the position
owing to his familiarity with the sub
jecct at issue and his fitness for the
place.
According to the Times, Colonel c.
c. Dalton is one of the best known and
certainly one of the most popular at
torneys in the county of King. He
was assistant attorney general under
Stratton, and at the expiration of his
term he formed a partnership with
Messrs. Mcbride & Stratton, under
the firm name of Mcbride, Stratton &
Dalton
Familiar With Conditions. -
Prior to his coming to Puget sound
he was a resident at Ilwaco, Pacific
county, and while there had plenty OF
opportunity to examine into the con-
ditions surrounding the Columbia riv-
err boundary dispute. No one knows
better than he the hardships suffered
by Washington fishermen at the hands
of Oregon, and he was appointed to
his present position just as Attorney
General Atkinson says, because of his
familiarity with the case and his fit
ness for the place.
When the news became noised about
the streets last night that Colonel Dali
ton had been appointed to position
that a great many attorneys were
striving for, he was the recipient OF
all kinds of congratulations from his
many friends. The boundary case In
question is one of the most impohtant
that has ever come up in the history
Of the commonwealth.

Nav sYsTEM TO BUY Eees
Adopted ny Local whole
saIers VIII he introduced
June 4.

Omaha wholesale egg dealers who have
organised a campaign to better the Ne
braska product. will begin June ! to buy
eggs on a different plan than that on
which they have operated. They are send
ing out circular to. the country dealers
and shippers explaining the new system
Beginning the first OF next month. eggs
will be bought by the dozen, grading and
2. No. 1 eggs are sound. perfect in shape
OF good size, full fresh laid and reasonably
clean. The No. grade will be those that
are shrunken, dirty small washed or
cracked. The circular says;
Eggs grade as above will enable all
dealers who ship TO the large markets Of
the country to pay better prices, and the
price to producers will be higher, and Ne
braska eggs will take higher rank in
better quality of eggs produced than the
corn-fed Nebraska eggs when marketed
while fresh. Owing to the present system
OF buying eggs case count eggs are held
more or less and they are taking second
place, and in some markets third place,
Instead Of the first place, all owing to. the
large per cent OF old eggs contained In a
shipment that arrives on the market.
DO not wash eggs, as eggs washed. can
No 2 eggs. we hope YOU will co-operat e
with us and induce the producers or farm
ers to bring the eggs to you while fresh,
grade Of eggs, thus enabling us. to pay Gays a
better price for the same.
A word now about handling the product
The dirty egg when fresh laid Is good. You
use eggs at home and without humillatlng
yourself, you can use these dirty eggs and
not disgrace your table. They simply are
undesirable when placed on the market to
the particular customer You can VERY well
grade your eggs at home, keeping for your
own use those small I'm size, dirty cracked
and otherwise imperfect. Again, when pre-
pairing to market your eggs neither wash
them or pack them in damp hay, wheat or
oats, as they take up the moisture and
soon are affected by what Is known to the
trade as spot rot" Let the packing you
use to pack the eggs in, which you take to
market, be absolutely clean and OF dry
material such as clean dry straw or dry
oats. Use nothing that is damp and not
perfectly dry.
Another thing, make it a practice to
market your eggs promptly; gather them
promptly, deliver them to your dealer
promptly and make 1t your business to
grade and select with a view to marketing
the best and receiving the best market
price. You can do this and eventually you
Will profit from 1t and assist In bringing
the great egg industry of Nebraska up to
the high standard 1t deserves.
All eggs going through the hands of the
Omaha wholesalers will be graded here
instead of being shipped all grades to-
gether, to eastern markets to be graded
there. Hereafter there will be Nebraska
flrsts and Nebraska seconds though every
thing which has gone from the state up to
this time has been classed as western sec.
onds. The effect will be to increase the
value of the best eggs by about . cents
a dozen, while the second grade eggs will
be no lower in price.
