GREAT NORTHERN PLANS
LINE UP OKANOCAN VALLEY

Vancouver, B. c., Jan. 9.-It is an.
nounced that the Great Northern rail
way, early in the coming spring, will
undertake the work of building line
from the Victoria, Vancouver and
Eastern railway east of the Cascades,
south through the Okanogan river val
ley to Wenatchee, Wash, on the main
line, a distance of about 100 miles
The final surveys have been approved
and already one-third of the right-of-
way has been acquired. The Northern
junction point will be at Oroville, a
station in the state of Washington a
few miles south of the international
boundary Owing to engineering diff
ficulties a portion of the Victoria
Vancouver and Eastern railway, ex-
tending from Laurier, B. c., in the
Boundary district, to Keremos, in the
Similakameen district, makes three OF
four detors into United States terri
tory.
Mr.. Hills program would indicate
that the financial situation has i'm.
proved and that he anticipates an
early return of commercial prosperity
The proposed line hooking up the
Canadian and American portions of his
railway system will cost upwards OF
100000. It will not only open up
rich ranching and fruit country, but
will provide an alternative route for
through east and west bound freight,
thus relieving the congestion of traf-
Cascade range. The Okanogan river
valley is situated east of the Cascades
The river joins the Columbia at We,
natchee. The valley has long been
famed for fruit growing and for it's
vast horse and cattle ranges.

Not Like Condensed

Don't think of Van Camps as condensed
milk, for condensed milk is nearly half sugar
Sugar was the old way of preserving milk
before the days of sterilization.
Condensed milk IS so largely sugar that it
Is very expensive And you can't use it for
cooking because it's too sweet. Such IN
natural milk IS long out OF date. Van Camps
is natural milk, preserved by modern meth
DDS.
Nor is Van Camps like other brands of
evaporated. For this is HOlsteiu milk, reduced
to the minimum bulk.
Common milk, only partly evaporated, is
often said to be as good as Van Camps.
But nearly every housewife knows that it
isn't, So don't be misled.

ALTOONA. Pa. Sept. 3.-Two girls

seventeen other young women and men
were badly hurt early today while re-
turning from a corn roast at Flower
Springs. Their wagon was run down
by freight train at a grade crossing
on Petersburg Cutoff of the Pennsyl-
vania road. The young people were
all from Williamsburg.
Not one escaped cuts, sprains. and
decorations. Edna Snively and Dorothy
Henderson viii probably die. They
were dragged for some distance when
the horses attached to the wagon ran
away, after the wagon had been
knocked over a steep embankment by

You would then know why the medical demanding sterzed milk

Any disease germ that gets into milk
quickly breeds millions like it.
They may be the germs of consumption,
coming from tubercular cows Or the germs
of typhoid, from water used in washing the

They may come from nilkmen who are
diseased or they may come from uncleanly
diaries.
These germs cannot all be avoided. no
matter what care may be taken. The only
protection that really protects is perfect
sterilization.
To that we all must come.

In Van Camps you get the whole milk
all the butter fat, all the solids. Yet it costs
you less than 4 half-milk See what a diff
terence this makes IN your milk dishes.
When Van Camps is drunk cold, it has a
slight almond favor, due to the heat applied
IN sterilization. In cooking or cofFee-where
you heat the milk anyway--the Slight scalded
flavor is entirely lost
This favor is a sign of purity. It is es-
sential to safety. For no careful mother

Pure Holstein MILK

Van Camps comes from Holstein COWS
the worlds best breed. Holstein cows are
robust and contented. They are famous for
their vitality. The milk they give is vastly
better for children than milk from mongrel
cows.
This milk, fresh from the COW, Is put into
vacuum. And moderate heat, because of
the vacuum, throws off The water in steam
Thus we take out two-thrds OF the water.
