Pure Maple

We are the largest buyers-so are told
Of Vermont Maple Syrup. All our wheat is
cooked in it before it is faxed.
Our object is that incompatible flavor To
make Mapl-Flake the most delicious-2s it is
the most digestible-of all cereal foods.
Taste is of tremendous Importance.
With children for instance. The food that is
best for them often needs to be forced on them.
But they beg for Mapl-Flake. Was there ever
child who did not like maple sugar?
The more Mapl-Flake child eats the less it
will eat of food not good.
Wheat is the perfect food. But wheat, in
most forms, is only partly digestible.
1t consists largely Of starch. And starch, to
be digestible, must be made soluble. The par
ticles must be separated SO the digestive juices
can get to them.
That requires a process of 96 hours, and
Mapl-Flake alone employs it.
Our wheat is steam-cooked for six hours;
then cured Then faxed so thin that the full
heat OF our ovens gets to each atom. Then the
flakes toasted for 80 minutes in heat Of
400 degrees.

This process is expensive, but we know

The richest drill hole over put
down was struck last week west
of Quapaw, in the Baxter
Ouapaw district, but this is all
we can tell you now.
]. l. Huber, of Paola, is spend
ing a great deal of his time here
looking after his interests in the
Good Luck mine. Mr.. Huber is
anxious to see the new mill
started.
Eight mines in the Miami
camp last week turned in Sl6,-
sos worth of ore. Only two
camps in the entire lead and
zinc district turned in more ore
last week, viz: Joplin and Webb
City.
The Baxter--Quapaw--Miami
lead and zinc district will be the
biggest in the world within
twelve months from now. Mark
this prediction. The Joplin
Galena-Webb City district will
not be able to get within speak
ing distance of the output OF the
new district.
The new mill of the Good
Luck company will be started W
in a few days. And right here
we want to remark that the
Good Luck is going to prove
huuor in the way of production
The ore is found in conglom
crate, much of it being entirely
free, and is going to be easily
cleaned.
Wagons loaded with jack have
been coming through the mair
business street of this city fol
the past two weeks. And all Of
this certainly looks good. i
goes to show that the north par
of the Baxter camp is producing
again. The ore from the south
part of the camp is shipped from
Quapaw.

From Portland
Portland, Ore, ian. 2, 1907

IoItldnu, OIe., Jan. ., 1Vo/.
The DICKINSON PRESS,
Dear Sir: have good place work
ing in wholesale and retail book store,
one of the largest in Portland. We have
an electric motor which runs money
carrier to carry all the money to one
place in the store to make change. l
attend.to making change most of the
time. Some days as high as s14oo to
$500 is taken in.
Itseems very lonesome since Mama is
gone but we are still keeping house and
all are as well as usual. Hope you folks
are enjoying good health.
Portland is pretty large place and is
scattered over a good deal of rolling
ground. There are no large hills. 1t
covers about fifteen miles north and
south and from eight to ten miles east
and west. The main portion of the city
is not much over 100 feet above sea level
as the tide comes up the Columbia and
then up the Willemette and raises the
river about one foot. Portland has the
finest city water of any city on the coast
1t comes from a pure mountain stream
and is conducted in pipes about 70 miles
The city has very poor streets and very
poor sidewalks; except around the busi.
ness center. Most of the people are
selfish and untruthful.
There are great many different ca,
lines in Portland and the cars run from
FIVE to fifteen minutes apart but they
don't have cars enough for the popula'
ton and every night and morning peo'
pie have to wait or walk.
We have had very heavy rains for the
past month, but little freezing weather
what one might call heavy frosts. But
it is harder to keep warm here than ir
North Dakota. On account of the damp
weather everything seems to draw
moisture, even the bedding.
Your friend,
EDWIN HICKMAN.
P.S. Business is as tight as drum
and many people are looking for work
People who have money are even afraic
to get shave and haircut for fear the,
cannot get more money.
