Moisture In Butter

The law limiting the legal
amount of moisture in butter
to l6 per cent has made it inn
perative that some simple and
accurate plan to determining
the moisture content be evolved.
The old methods are either in
accurate or else require exren-
sive apparatus and a consider.
able knowledge of chemistry.
After a great deal Of study and
experimentation the Dairy De-
partment of the Iowa Expert
ment Station has worked out a
method which has proven very
satisfactory. By the use of
this plan any creameryman can
with a very little practice make
quick and reliable tests of the
amount OF moisture in butter.
He will then be enabled to
avoid exceeding the legal limit,
and at the same time keep from
letting the percentage of moist
Iure run too low which detracts
from both the quality of the
butter and the amount of the
overrun. Bulletin No. 81 of
the Iowa Experiment Station
gives complete instructions for
carrying out these moisture de-
Examinations. Copies may be
obtained free of charge from
Director C. +. Curtiss, Ames,
Iowa.
Governor johnson, of Min
nesota, who is filling a Chau-

Well there is not many more
days until the 4th Of July and
the various committees have
everything lined Up in COOL
shape. There were a number
of cards put in windows of the
various business houses stating
that they would close from one
to i've p. M, thu; giving every
body a chance to go out to the
grounds and witness the pro-
gram. From all Indications
the crowd this year will be a
record breaker, the weather
permitting. The people in

all good.

IN
CONTEST IS
INCREASING


Votes are pouring into The Gazette
Office in large numbers for the con-
testants in The Gazette Oriental tour
contest and are being voted but it Is
absolutely impossible to tell how the
candidates now stand as the ballot
box is sealed tightly.
But the receipts that are issued and
the coupons that are given out by
the Office is an indication that q
heavy vote is being polled Probably
never In the history o. eastern Mon
tana has there been such a successful
contest. Hundreds OF subscribers
have been added to the already large
list Of The Gazette and when the final
count is ended it is probable that
there. will be but few families in
Billings who do not subscribe for
eastern Montana's leading newspaper.
Subscribers need have no hest.
fancy in voting at any time now as
the votes will not be counted till the
last day and there Is no reason for
holding the votes back. The next 12
days promise to he active indeed for
the friends of the candidates.

SENATOR FRYE SAYS lit WOULD
STOP NAVIGATION.
CITES PRESIDENT VIEW
Senator Hepburn Declares 1t Would
Affect the Navigation OF the River
Ia Idaho - Washington Senators
Champion L for Private Concern.

L Il u
Washington, March 30.-The objec
tion Of the president to the construc,
ton Of dams across navigable rivers
by private companies, except when
the public interest is fully guarded,
figured in the consideration Of a
house bill in the senate today. This
bill proposes to authorize the Benton
Water company to construct dam
across Snake river in the state OF
Washington.
When the measure was taken up
Senator Frye called the attention OF
the senate to the presidents state
ment that he would veto Objectionable
Legislation giving water rights to pri-
vate parties.
The bill was championed by Sena-
tors Piles and Ankeny Of Washing
ton and was vigorously opposed by
Senator Hepburn OF Idaho ON the
ground that that state was.immensely
interested in the navigation Of the
river, which, he said. would. be teop-
ardized by allowing private corpora
tion to construct dam across 1t for
gain. Senator Borah offered an
amendment to the bill providing for
the free navigation Of the river and
WITH the adoption Of that guarantee
he said he would vote for It.
+ Amid the clashtng Of state interests
Mr.. Hepburn suggested the absence
of quorum. which condition being
affirmed by roll call, motion to
adjourn ended the discussion for the
day. .4.

DECLARES REMOVAL OF TAX ON
PULP WILL NOT BENEFIT.
BLAME PAPER COMBINE
Declares That Price Of Paper 10 Being
Kept up BY Combination and says.
That Proper Proesdurs is 70 Have
Pnoessd,nss Brought In Court

In. response to q letter from The
Billings Gazette upon the subject Of
the tariff on pulp used for the manu-
facture Of news print paper and the
tax on news print paper Senator
Dixon writes as follows:
Gazette Printing Company, Billings,
Montana.
"Gentlemen-I have just received
yours OF March goth relative to the
combination among the paper nanu-
facturers, which has worked so much
hardship and injustice to the newspa-
per publishers all over the country.
First. would say that have no
recollection Of having received any
letter from you relative to this mat.
ter heretofore and am indeed sorry
that your first communication did
not reach me.
From all the information I can
get think unquestionably some action
should be taken to break up the COM
bination and will certainly lend my
influence in any way possible to bring
ii about. II. y
Il think one mistake that the pub
fishers have made in the matter is in.
attributing the present condition to
the tariff on paper. Without full In
vestigation of all the facts in the case,
many of them have been lead to be-
lfete that the tariff now in force has
brought about the present high price
OF paper. think full knowledge OF
the facts in the case will lead the
newspaper men to a different view
and result in directing their efforts
along different line.
The truth is that the taritf on paper
amounting to only $500 per ton-a
little less than one-third Of cent per
pound. has little to do with the pres.
ent price Of news print, which is about
$40 per ton. or three and half cents
per pound. The truth is the paper
mills have formed q combination to
make the same price for paper at all
OF the mills for every part OF the coun-
try. The Attorney-General should at
once proceed against the unlawful
combination, under the provisions OF
the Sherman antitrust law and / un-
derstand that steps are now being tax
en- looking to a virgorous prosecution:
The repeal of the entire tariff on paper
could not affect the price to exceed
IS per ton. / understand from reli-
able sources that negotiations are
pending between the American mills
and the Canadian mills for further
combination, in which case the repeal
Of the tariff would make no difference
whatever. The remedy lies In the
Of the illegal combination
in the courts. I believe that this pro
cedure would relieve the present In
tolerable situation. Very truly yours.
Jos. N. DIXON.''
