BEST BUTTER MADE
Minnesota Comes to the Front Again
and Carries Off Most of
the Prizes

Minnesota has again demonstrated
that it can maintain the prestige
which it has won in the buttermak-
ing world. Not only did the state
win the banner for the highest average
scores, but her buttermakers We're cas-
lily first for the highest individual
scores, and for the second highest in
dividual scores. A desperate effort
was made by Iowa to improve the
position of that state in the butter
making world but without success.
The conference of the National
Creameries Buttermakers association
where the prizes were awarded last
week was the most successful ever
held. The auditorium at Saint Paul
was packed with delegates. 1t was
decided to appeal to the agricultural
department to place the dairy interests
under the direction of a separate bur-
eau; to secure the, equalization of
railroad rates, SO that local cream
cries can get square deal in COM
peting with large centralized cream
cries; to secure the appointment Of
a government butter inspector, as it
was contended that ninety-five per
cent of the people did not understand
the difference between good butter
and bad; and to form an accident as
surance fund to insure members of the
association against the risk of being
injured by machinery used in the
trade.
The prizes were awarded as follows:

SIX THOUSAND SHY
John A. MCDermott, Former State
Oil Inspector, Leaves a Short
age in His Department

The latest sensation in political cir.
cles in St. Paul is the discovery that
John A. McDermott, former state in
spector of oils, was over $1,000 short
when he turned the office over to VIM
McEwen of Duluth last November.
There were a good many surmises
AZ to the reason for the change at the
time, but probably few outside oi
official circles knew the "true inward.
ness'' of it.
It now develops that j. A. Schmahl,
secretary of state, requested an invest
igatetion four months ago. The find
ings are just about to be made public.
Anton Shaefer, state bank examiner,
has conducted the investigation and
has it about completed. The irregu-
larities are in bookkeeping and it
trsnspires that McDermott has pract-
lcally made up the shortage.
McDermott resigned 10 accept . high
salaried position with the liquor inter-
ests to conduct q Campaign of educa-
tion". He was q good deal of . high
flyer and his rapid advancement In
politics and Office enlarged his head.

SOCIETY'S REALM
knights of Pythias Celebrate
Their Fourteenth Anniversary
A PLEASANT FUNCTION
Notes Cleaned From the D0ings of
the W0man'S Clubs and other
Social Organizations


Fidelity lodge, No. 12O, Knights of
Pythias, observed its fourteenth an
niversary on Wednesday evening.
The members of the lodge, their
| wives, daughters and lady friends,
were present in goodly numbers and
the evening passed very pleasantly.
A literary and musical program was
given which entertained all and gave
another demonstration of the factt hat
Sauk Centre has plenty of good en-
tertainers right here at home. The
program was in charge of Mrs. R. E.
Hanson, and consisted of piano solo
by Miss Robischon, vocal solos by
Miss McMasters and Mrs. R. E. Han
| son; and readings by Mesdames c.
c. Tobey and Jas. Ingram.
The musical numbers were fine and
each of the three performers were
given hearty encores and all gracious
ly responded. Mrs. Tobey was Civ
ell q hand before she began reading
and when she closed received another
hearty round of applause Mrs. In
grams selection was a clever char
acter sketch and was received with
applause.
Following this came number OF
charades in which Mrs. Ingram took
charge. She was ably assisted by a
number of the ladies and by Messrs.
H. F. Alden, F. S. Parker and L. S
BishoJ. After the charades Mr.. AL
den ran one of his monographs for the
amusement of the company until sup
per was announced. The wants of
the inner man were fully provided for
the supper being in charge of Mes
danes J. F. Cooper W. S. Dean and
several other ladies. The party broke
up shortly before midnight with the
opinion that the evening had been
very pleasantly spent. The occa-
sion being st. Patricks Day, the din
ing room decorations were in the
color of the emerald isle.
Among the resolutions offered, at
the council meeting of the Minnesota
Federation of Woman's Clubs was
enforcement of laws against slot ma
chimes and other gambling devices
in the stores and public places Of
the state.
1t was also recommended that May
18th be observed as Peace Day" in
the public schools of the land and
the presentation of the resolution at
the national meeting of school super
intendents in Washington and the
state meeting in Minneapolis be
authorized.
The educational committee of the
Federation ask the club women of
the state to cooperate with them in
distributing apple trees to the school
chldrien of the state. Arrangements
have been made with the nurserymen
OF the state whereby small apple trees
Of hardy varieties can be obtained
for 9 cents apiece This will cover
freight charges and provide printed
directions for planting and care of
trees. Consult the local club women
regarding this offer.

Lydia Phillips Memorial Fund comes
from Knoxville Tenn, five dollars
from one who knew Mrs. Williams
and sent her mite for love and ad-
miration she bore her."

CANADIAN RAILWAY BUILDING

Consul E. A. Wakefield, in the fol-
lowing report from Orilla, describes
the progres in railway building in the
Canadian province of Ontario:
on June Is next service on the To-
ronto to Sudbury Canadian Pacific
Railway line will be inaugurated
which is expected to make a decided
difference in freight and passenger
traffic to Winnipeg and western points
from Toronto and Buffalo. This
change practically puts Toronto on the
main line of the Canadian Pacific
railway and means a saving of eight
hours between Toronto and Winnipeg.
The Canadian Pacific railway is still
pushing work on the Peterboro to Vic

the date of its completion is not mem
toned as yet, The James Bay Rail-
way (McKenzie & Mann system) has
been granted charter to build from
the main line near Orillia to some
point not yet named on the Georgian
bay.
The ontario government is TO guar

tion Of this branch go miles long, to

SPOKANE VIEW OF SALOONS.

Spokane is saloon town. 1t is a
frontier town with frontier sentiment
still prevailing in the minds of large
part of her people. She has been
filled up with easterners, but all about
her cling the air and atmosphere of
the west, the peculiar habits and sem
timents OF the pioneers and the lin
gering devotion of the old-timers to
the old ways of the west.
But the following editorial from
the Spokane Review shows an ad.
vanced sentiment on the liquor ques-
ton which is now agitating every sec
ton of the country and proves that
Spokane, although in a measure a
frontier city, has yet a keen appre-
citation Of the modern movement to-
ward better moral conditions. The
Review says of Moscow's change to
a dry" town:
The citizens Of Moscow are con-
graduated on the dry" vote which
they gave in the election Tuesday. By
S14 to Ss2 they have decided that the
saloons must go.
In view Of Moscow's position as
seat of the state university of Idaho
the result is particularly gratifying,
and will enhance its reputation with
many people who, on account of its
educational advantages, may wish to
reside there, and who will be the bet,
ter pleased that residence is divorced
from liquor influence.
Moscow's action is another straw
indicative OF the way the wind is blow
ing in many sections of the country
against saloon domination. 1t is said
that some of the temperance workers
there are disappointed because they
did not get larger majority.
They should rather rejoice over the
display of strength which they made.
1t places Moscow in a favorable light
before the rest of the country, espe-
cially with those who realize how
hard the fight has been.

WHY GO AWAY FOR EDUCATION?

If the taxpayers of Oregon will
stop to consider for a moment that
the expense of sending their children
out of the state for an education far
exceeds the slight increase in taxes
which the appropriation for the Uni
versity of oregon would impose up
on them, they would not for a moment
think of voting against the appropri-
alton.
This is the cold, mercenary view
of the matter and the argument from
this standpoint is all in favor of sup
porting the Oregon university.
On the other hand there is the
matter of state pride and patriotism
which should actuate every thought
full and loyal citizen of the state to
support home institutions.
e What Oregonian wants to see Wash
iTgton, Idaho and California outrank-
ing oregon in the matter of educa-
tional institutions? Who Is so deaf
to the sentiment Of home pride as to
permit Oregon to go backward while
all her sister states are going ahead?
When you think of this you will
vote for the university appropriation.
Oregon education for Oregon's
children.

WHEN TO ENJOY.

A prosperous wheatgrower of the
county made the remark on the street
of Pendleton yesterday that II the
price of wheat went up a half cent
today he would go to Seattle to see
the Atlantic fleet. Otherwise he
could not afford it.
This brings to mind the question Of
d enjoyment and pleasure and life and
labor and human destiny.
The time to enjoy life is now. You
are going to live in Umatilla county
and on the earth but once, and a very
short time at that. And you will per-
haps never see a better country, no
matter what your intentions.
So the time to enjoy life is now,
while you are in an appreciative mood
and have the time, means and oppor-
tunity. Splendid opportunities for
keen enjoyment are passed by every
day by people who are amply able to
take the time and money to go and
see places and events. They argue
that they will be better able next year.
That times will be more favorable
next year or the next
Before you know it. your life has
slipped away and you are ready to
''pass in your checks" and your mind
is dwarfed. your experience is limited,
your life is empty, your enjoyment
has been neglected, your pleasures few
and you go out into the great beyond
with half your life undeveloped un-
used.
Enjoyment brings out the best there
is in one. 1t awakens higher senti-
ments and makes better citizens of
men and women and the time to en-
joy is every day, every hour, not next
year or the next.
What will half a cent on bushel
OF wheat mean to you in a century or
even so years? 1t will not prolong
your life a second nor add on. rich
experience to your years, no matter
how many you may live.
Be frugal, industrious and saving, |
tc be sure, but enjoy life as you go |
through it. You cannot go back over
the road. You cannot retrace your
steps.
