They take with them a diDnet four
feet ia diameter attached 70 a pole or
handle fifteen feet long. This is placed
ready TO the hand Of the Indian ID the

of the rapids where the water bois
and tumbles furiously.
With bis POLE the Indian in the bow

CONDENSERY PROPOSITION
A Statement Of Facts Presented
By G. ". Moffet for the
Consideration of Those Who
Are Directly Interested.

ELLENSBURG, Nov. 81 see by the
papers several articles in favor Of build.
ing y milk condensery here in our
valley. 1t seems the Chamber OF Com.
MERGE OF our city and few business
men have expressed themselves in
favor Of it, but AS yet have not heard q
single dairymsn express himself so.
In the first place, it is necessary TO
have the raw material to manufacture
any article. The dairymen of this val
Icy have been breeding into Jersey
cattle for the last Ave years and today
you will find few farmers without Jer-
Sey cattle, and great many hieh grade
cows and hsifers and an abundance of
registered Jersey bulls. There has
been about 1000 head of heavy mixers
OF tho Holsten and Durham type sold
out OF the valley in the past three or
four years and shipped to the Kent con.
densery. They want large beefy cattle
that give big flow of milk that tests
from 5 to 1 per cent butterfat. The
dairymen here we're glad to get rid of
them and replace them with the Jersey
breed that is more profitable for butter.

densery purposes. This has been done
until now nearly every farmer has

these Jersey cows that We are proud

tity you want and it Is quantity that the
condeusary wants and not butterfat.
Besides, not having the right kind Of
milk stock, the farmers of this valley
have a large amount OF money invested
in machinery for butter making. Near.
ly every farmer has separator costing
on an average about 500 each and they
own and operate two creamery plants,
manufacturing a high class of butter
that they are very justly proud of.
Go into any of the Sound cities and
you will find that Ellensburg butter
sells at the highest market price and it
doesn't matter whether it is made In FL

about enough cows so that his creamery

hogs consume large amount OF

they are locked at any height or
lowered to any given point, they
cannot be budged one particle with
out the touch of a button. They
make your windows absolutely
burglar proof. The button is so
concealed as not to be even noticed
by anyone except they be acqualnt-
ed with the system of locking, and
not one in dozen would ever
notice it. With them your viii
dows are always locked. Push the
button and they are movable to any
desired degree and the beauty of it
all is that the cost is the same as
an ordinary lock.

CONDITIONS IN DRY TOWN
Better Conditions Morally and
Socially in Towns and Cities
Where no Saloons Exist and
Druggist Obey the Law.

Referring to conditions in Cen
tralia since the saloons were closed,
the Centralia Guard says: The
saloon crowd said that if local OPP
tion carried we would have whis-
kew drug stores. What are they:
Not single drug store III the city
is dosing out liquor, and some OF
them do not carry the stuff in
stock. We have no whiskey drug
stores nor will the people tolerate
them, They said that as much
LIQUOR would be drunk as there was
when we had saloons, but this
statement was also wrong. There
is some liquor bootlegged i'll by
pimps and cappers and by low
down whelps WHO have no higher
calling. but only such and their
associates drink it. Some families
who use beer as a beverage have it
shipped in, but it is used by them
and is not dosed out to others.
Some people who believe in a wee
drop of whiskey for the stomach 5
sake" have their jug shipped in
but such cases are rare. The one
thing Of which every person who
has studied the question complain
ed Of in the open saloon, is not
here now, and that is the daily
dribtle of money from the pockets
Of the working men and the nightly
loa6ng in these places of sin.
There is an improvement in GER
tain quarters; there is an improve
ment in the condition. moral, ply
steal and financial, of some men of
Our community and from any point
Of view there can be said that Cen
tralia's condition is far better now
than it was when we had open
saloons.

A writer who can write a prose
poem on any subject says of the
hog: 1.-THE hog is a machine, that
oils itself, puts ten bushels of feed
into less space than a buslel meas
ure, and in so doing doubles its
value, then can carry it to market
on it's back. Corn. barley, oats,
grass, rape, clover. or any of the
by-products of these, loaned to a
well bred, thrifty hog, is money at
big interest. In fact, it is mint,
the grain and grasses are the bull
lion, which, put into the hog is
transmitted into coin. 1t is an
honest mint and gives sixteen
ounces avoirdupois of edible meat.

DEMOCRATS PLAN FUTURE
A -Four Year Campaign Will
Be Opened at Once and
Vigorously Pushed Says the
National Chairman.

New YORK, Nov.5. Declaring
that the democratic party is more
united today than it has been III
many years and Mr.. Bryan was de
! feated by what he claims was mis-
representation, to the effect that
his election would not hurt bust
ness interests, Chairman Mack, of
! the democratic National Committee
; this afternoon issued statement,
in which he announces extensive
plans to advance the party inter
est during the next four years.
Mr.. Mack statement in full fol-
lows:
There is not much for me to
say and no apologies to make re-
lative to the victory of the republi-
can party. Mr. Bryan made the
most magnificent fight ever waged
by a candidate. The party was
made the victim of misrepresenta-
tion-a Misrepresentation h a t
democratic success would retard
the business interests of the Coun-
try. This was, of course, an argu-
ment without foundation.
Notwithstanding yesterday S
defeat, the democratic party stands
more united today than it has III
many years and in this union lies
its future strength and power of
recuperation.
1t is my intention to continue
headquarters in Buffalo and Wash
ington for the next four years, to
keep in touch with the leaders of
all the states and to promulgate
democratic principles and demo-
cratic thought by the printing OF
literature to aid the leaders of the
party in fighting the high tariff,
which in all probability the repub-
liCans will continue, notwithstand-
ing their promise to revise it.
Il am supported in this by the
members of the national committee
state chairman and other demo
Gratis all over the country.
- In his own state Nebraska
where he is best known, Mr.. Bryan
was victorious. While it is true
he met with defeat in the nation,
he did so as the candidate of his
party supported by the six million
or seven million of his cOuntrymen
who voted for him and the prinCi-
pies he so splendidly espoused and
with the respect and admiration OF
them.
