NOW MAKING BUTTER
Townsend Branch Creamery Begins
Operations With Good MIX
Supply.

In spite OF the excitement and dam
age of Tuesdays fire, the Townsend
Creamery commenced operations
Wednesday morning as if nothing
had happened.
When the butter had gathered, e. A..
Hamilton, the operator, drew off a
can OF rich, thick buttermilk and, pro
ducing a cup, bade the throng of by
ISLANDERS to help themselves and take
one on the house"
1t was truly an interesting sight to
those who can still recoilect the days
OF the old "churn and dasher," to
watch how, by simple attachment,
the worker was inserted in the huge
rotary churn, and the entire process
of working and sailing was carried
through before the butter was
removed, leaving nothing else to be
done except the moulding and wrap
ping.
Mr.. Hamilton says that large
number of farmers in the vicinity OF
Dallas are already bringing their
cream to him. He invites those who
are going elsewhere to give the Town
send creamery trial, promising the
highest possible rates for butter fat
1t is undoubtedly worth ones while
to pay the creamery visit if only to
watch the rapid and efficient work of
the excellent machinery.

Cornelius Hughes has on his lot
in Dallas a fruit tree which is
truly acuriosity. 1t was raised from an
apricot seed, but far from resembling
an apricot, it could be better mistaken
for some species of large plum. The
tree has been in bearing for three
years, and at this time is loaded
with huge, mottled fruit, which is of a
very pleasing flavor. Mr.. Hughes
will send samples to several expert
horticulturists, to learn whether
1t will be profitable to perpetuate this
new species.

The Normal school muddle has been
cleared up considerably by the action
of the State Regents in abandoning
Monmouth and Drain to their own
resources. 1t is now certain that the
Monmouth school will run next year
on money donated by the friends Of
that institution, and that no repay
ment will be asked from the next
Legislature. The fate of the Drain
school is in doubt Ashland and Wes-
ton, whose friends in the House and
Senate were more successful workers
than were those of the two valley
schools, will be taken care of out Of
the State treasury, at least until the
next election, when the whole matter
will be placed before the people to
decide which schools they desire re-
tanned and which abolished. The Nor
NAL question will then be definitely
settled, once for all.

THE NEED OF CANNERIES.

District Freight Agent Malboeuf, OF
the Hartman lines, is doing a good
practical work in taking hold Of the
organization Of fruit and vegetable
canneries.
He has succeeded in establishing
$4,000 plants that will operate this
year at Grants Pass and Newberg, and
has several more such enterprises in
progress Of organization.
Canneries mean that more small
fruits will be cultivated, more people
will be employed in picking and can
ning the same, and condensed fruit
will go out of the country that will
advertise us as a fruit region.
Fruits raised for the canneries are
the most profitable lines Of fruit grow
ing, and there is nothing builds up
town and the suburbs so fast as a
cannery.
The organization of canneries
means that more land will be cut up
luJO Slildll luCbo, anu WOLhCQ anu
handled by people of small means,
where the whole family is given
employment.
Canneries are as much needed in
Western Oregon as creameries were
twenty years ago. @. II. Markham
did a great deal to establish that
industry, and Mr.. Malboeuf is a
worthy successor to that able indus
trial promoter. Salem Journal.
The people of Dallas could not do
better than to secure Mr.. Malboeuf's
aid and encouragement in getting the
long-talked-of cannery established at
this place. The OBSERVER feels sure
that he would be only too glad to help,
if the desired industry were only
brought to his attention.

THE LATE R. c. REMINGTON
Early Polk County Pioneer Dies OF
Paralysis at Age of II
Years.

Reuben G. Remington, who died at
his home north OF Dallas, Monday
night, was born in New York, Decem-
ber 81, 1880. He emigrated to Oregon
in 1852, and lived in Polk county
almost continuously until the time OF
his death. He was married to Miss
Sarah Buff in 1861. She died soon
after her marriage, and in 1866 he
married a second time, his last wife
being Miss Mary E. Kimsey, a daugh-
ter of one of Polk county's well-known
pioneer families. His aged wife and
eight children survive him.
The funeral was conducted by the
Rev. A. G. Corbin, Wednesday after
noon, and the remains were buried in
the Brown cemetery.
Mr.. Remington was an honest man,
and enjoyed the respect and confidence
of his neighbors

The closing of the Oregon Trust &
Savings Bank in Portland, Wednes-
day, came as great surprise to the
depositors. all of whom had believed
the bank to be one Of the strongest
institutions of its kind in the state.
The cause of the banks failure is said
to be due to reckless investments ia
bonds and securities upon which it
was impossible to secure loans when
money was needed. AS an instance,
it is cited that the bank recently
invested over 81 100000 in Home Tel
ephone bonds. The depositors are
principally laboring men, newsboys,
clerks and waitresses-people in the
humber walks Of life, who can lily
afford to lose the hard-earned money
they had intrusted to the banks keep
ing. The plight of these poor people
illustrates most forcibly the need Of
stringent law to putan end to wildcat
banking. No bank has a moral right
to tie up its depositors' money in one
kind Of securities alone, and a law
should be enacted providing a more
business-like regulation of invest
ments. Careful and prudent bankers
would not be injured by such a law,
and the people would beprotected from
wildcat methods.

Fruit Inspector J. B. Num- says
that farmers need have no fear of their
Bartlett pears spelling for lack of a
market this year, since there will be
demand for all they can raise and
high prices will be paid for them by
the fruit packers and the canning
companies.
